[@Battlegroundinho]

Making the crew switch frequences is actually a really bad mistake, as in an emergency situation you don't want to add more tasks and make them repeat what they already said numerous times, while trying to go through emergency checklists and manual control of the plane at the same time. This is no longer a normal procedure and ATCs should acknowledge that.

[@liamhosking2947]

When you think that they could have just spent $170 on a test, it’s really sad that this resulted in someone’s life being taken away. Money can be earned back. Life can not. R.I.P.

[@thebeasters]

Umerika 101

[@IdleWild999]

That seems extremely cheap. On the fan portion of the engine there are 22 blades, that's $7.50 per blade inspection. I am suspicious that it wouldn't be possible to provide the skilled labour and equipment for that price, if you consider the time required to remove the blades from the engine for inspection. I would imagine it might cost $170 per blade.

[@Dreadnought33]

If you need to do the same test for all the same engines, then isn't cheap anymore for the company. Nevertheless, a human life is quite more expensive

[@k53847]

Since you have to disassemble the fan disk to get to the fan blades root I tend to doubt it's $170 per engine. It might be $170 per blade, apparently 24 per engine. Jet engines are extraordinarily expensive, and require a lot of expensive maint to be safe. So you still need to do it even if it's expensive. But given the engine wouldn't have been included in the proposed regulation (as it was only 5-10K cycles cycles from the last overhaul) it's pretty clear that the proposed regulation would not have helped prevent this. But it's also clear that the scope of the issue was not fully grasped..

[@MrMattumbo]

Yeah that's not how much it would cost, just the cost of taking the plane out of service is exponentially higher than that. Hell, just the labor cost to have the engine dismounted and remounted to the plane is more than that.

It's so sad that it takes blood to be spilled for any real action to take place, the second incident was easily avoidable. For this kind of negligence there really needs to be a system where people in charge have to be held criminally liable for their actions.

[@Dumbrarere]

@@Crifstar Yet when you have companies that refuse to invest time and money to properly maintain and inspect their planes, the failure rate skyrockets, especially on aircraft owned by those companies. In this case, Southwest's negligence in inspecting and replacing worn fanblades on all operating CFM56 engines led to not one, but two consecutive engine explosions only one year and seven months apart from each other. It literally took the death of that one woman in the second incident for SWA to take the concern seriously.

[@HR-wd6cw]

The thing about maintenance is that during refits or major overhauls, that's usually also done by a different company, not necessarily the airline's maintenance crew.

[@geraldbock1012]

@Tim Haverland et al. When this first came out (the second mishap) I sat down and tried to calculate what kind of depressurization it would have been had she not blocked the window and greatly slowed down the depressurization. So it was between explosive and rapid. Explosive (which one site says only happens in small aircraft at high altitudes) would kill everyone in the main cabin - wiping out their lungs. Rapid which would have caused great morbidity and some degree of mortality. Mrs Riordan is an unsung hero as her body stopped the 'high rapid' depressurization, greatly reducing it down to a slow depressurization and giving the pilots enough time to get the bird down to 10k.

[@spvillano]

@@geraldbock1012 wrong on all counts. With or without her being through the window opening, it'd take several seconds for the aircraft to depressurize. Rapid decompression(explosive decompression is 0.1 - 0.5 seconds to complete pressure loss) isn't a death ray, it's a rapid loss of pressure at 31000 feet, where one retains 10 - 15 seconds of useful consciousness. Hell, a technician was exposed to hard vacuum equivalent to space for nearly a full minute after the spacesuit he was testing had the faceplate shatter. He remembered the sensation of saliva boiling on his tongue and his tears boiling from being in a vacuum. A supervisor, realizing it'd be many minutes to re-pressurize the vacuum chamber broke the observation window with a fire extinguisher and the technician survived with no significant injuries. Worse, Joseph Kittinger lost his right glove at over 100000 feet, while his hand was in pain and useless on the way to the ground, he survived with full function. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression#Explosive_decompression en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebullism

It is just an example of how easily the masses are baited into following what everyone else follows just because of some movie like music and nifty editing and once it has a huge following, everyone thinks oh it must be great.

[@termsconditionss]

@@nw6070 So you are telling me that you want to see the plane hit the ground and the debris and the dead passengers everywhere? This is recorded in a flight SIMULATOR. It is not possible to show how it exactly crashed unless you go beyond the simulator and do some master animation and modelling. The entire point of this channel is to simplify the crash and to know what exactly happened and what caused it. It scares me how you want to see all the passengers screaming and stuff. It has NOTHING related to the story. All that the passengers do is scream and panic. Yeah, I don't think most people would want to see the gore.

[@nw6070]

@@termsconditionss i never said anything about needing human gore, that is entirely your own assumption. There are details in some incidents where there are interesting actions taken by individuals in the cabin that this channel consistently ignores (for instance in this case a fellow passenger tried to rescue the woman and got injured himself). you say NOTHING to do with the story? well sorry but the passengers are very much part of the story. another obvious element is that often it is unclear at which point passengers are aware of what problem. in this case we can think for ourselves but in many other cases it is unclear what exactly is happening in the cabin, and that information is there, this channel just decides to focus on the machine and the operation of the machine, not so much the human element. anyway, it is indeed possible to show damage and impact, other channels do. This channel just uses a clickbait image of an explosion but choses not to put in the effort to recreate it in video. which is fine, but then it is also fine to point it out.

[@termsconditionss]

@@nw6070 You have a good point. But this channel is here to simplify the events of what happened onboard. You will notice that the titles say, "How, blah blah blah happened" usually. Sure the passengers are a part of the story but they don't have anything to do with how the plane crashed or how the pilots managed to get to the destination. In some episodes, the passengers are very much apart of how the plane crashed and the channel decides to show this.

And this, folks, is why you *always* keep your seatbelt fastened during a flight, unless you have to use the head. Nice and snug too... it's a lot more comfortable than a trip outside. RIP Jennifer.

[@abc-wv4in]

Right. But she had her seat belt fastened and still died.

[@joshuakuehn]

@@abc-wv4in she was resting her head against the window, I think that's what did her in

[@dekenba6482]

The captain was just so calm, polite & professional all the way through. If I was the captain, I'd have made a cabin announcement, "This is your captain speaking. Now would be a good time to finish doing those wills you've kept putting off".

[@HR-wd6cw]

WEll, actually at that altitude, you're blown out, not sucked out. Keep in mind planes are pressured and like a balloon, if you tear a hole in the side, you'd be blown out. I mean I guess in this case it could have been much worse--being blown out and then sucked into the engine if it was still turning.

[@aanon5716]

the passenger who was partially sucked out was jennifer riordan 43. she was hit with flying debris from the engine & likely broke her neck from the airplanes speed. she was the mom of 2 & an executive for wells fargo. all because the airline didnt take the extra steps for safety. thats a damn shame. courageous passengers & a flight attendant were able to pull her back in but she was unconscious & later died from her injuries. another brave male passenger stood & blocked the window with his back until they landed.

[@niranthbanks3595]

Another stellar video. I get overly excited when I see a notification there is a new one. I was surprised the damage to the fuselage was so far back. It makes sense though, considering the airspeed. It is so sad that this could have been prevented with a $170 test.

[@LiPo5000]

Second plane Captain is Southwest Airline pilot, Captain Tammie Jo Shults (retired), a former fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy, She was one of the first Navy F-18 pilots in the country. She definetly had proper training, and I understand She was an instructor. This would have to be verified. She was well known in the Naval Aviation World.

[@Brock_Landers]

Rest in peace to the passenger who was lost on Flight 1380. My commendations to the flight crew for safely landing both planes in face of such horrible mechanical issues.

[@gdwnet]

that second incident, what a calm and professional crew and amazing ATC - very clear, very good responses to an emergency.

[@AdrianG707]

At first I was confused, I said wait I remember this video how could it be new. Then I realized what you did, excellent job.

[@Scott1433]

The calmest captain in history award goes to the young lady in the 737

[@rekunta]

“Is your aircraft physically on fire?” “No, it’s not physically on fire, I’m speaking figuratively”.

[@AgingAeroplanes]

I think they asked this because often 'fire warnings' are false or fires extinguish quickly, so I think the ATC was trying to double check if it was an 'instrument fire warning' or 'confirmed visual fire on the aircraft'. It makes a difference. After all, 'fire' on the instruments is just a matter of temperature readings and don't necessarily indicate physical fire, especially a couple minutes after the initial warning or proclamation.

[@darrinsiberia]

@@AgingAeroplanes you're missing the point... the point is... the ATC was at times inappropriate and insensitive the way he talked to the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION... Exhibit A. The pilot tells ATC there is a woman out the window... the ATC... responds like he is talking at the water cooler... "what did you say? Theres someone OUT the window?" That was totally unprofessional to second guess a pilot and ask her a question like that. Is the pilot supposed to repeat herself while she's flying the plane??? "YES... THERE IS A PERSON OUT THE WINDOW... CRAZY HUH." I mean cmon! The ATC realized he was being an A HOLE and said "you know what nevermind carry on." Seriously! If someone called me and asked me for help. Like say they called me and said "hey bro I'm being carjacked and the guy just went into the 711 w my keys. He says if I try to leave hell shoot me or run me over. Can you call the police for me?" And let's say my response is... "whoa! No way! You got... car jacked?" Like... bam... it is too late then. We've gone from productive effective communication to SPECTATING. There is a difference!

[@kazilziya830]

"Everyone survived " was the best part. Great flying. The second one was even better. Pilot : parts missing and someone went out. She was focused big time.

[@tabytastick]

Does anyone have the urge when getting on a plane to now ask, "When where the fan blades last tested and How? How old is this plane? Etc ect..."?

[@tomstravels520]

You can check a planes age on various flight tracking apps

[@HR-wd6cw]

Not really. Because I've flown both on old planes, and newer ones. I got more by the overall reputation of the airline. Even if someone did inspect the fan disc blades, it doesn't mean they can't fail. Plus, there have been incidents where people would sign-off on jobs when they either weren't done properly, or done at all, but they got signed off on, and that would simply show up on any report you'd read (the only way they find these out is in sitautions like this where there has been an accident, or if someone is doing an audit).

It’s only southwest that I feel uneasy on. 1. Because I don’t trust Boeing models and 2 because southwest has super old planes
