This is such an unprecedented scenario that you cant really blame the pilots

[@EstorilEm]

Not true, tornado storm updrafts and cloud structures are almost ALWAYS going to be 25-40,000’ high - their cruise altitude was a TINY fraction of that. I don’t care what your weather radar says, you don’t fly into storms - especially with tops like this one had (no, I don’t need pictures - if it created a tornado, it had a significant towering updraft.)

[@htimsid]

@@EstorilEm According to the video, the pilots did attempt to avoid the storm. Moreover, contemporary (weather) radar was not sufficiently sophisticated and weather updates could not be supplied quickly enough.

[@c128stuff]

@@EstorilEm Your argument would kindof work if they actually knew they were flying into a storm. But for as far as the pilots could tell, they were trying to AVOID flying into a storm. If you had payed any attention to the video, or had researched the incident, you'd have known that.

[@baumkuchen6543]

Fokkered up scenario.

[@phoenixheart79]

​@@EstorilEm Tell me that you didn't watch the video without telling me that you didn't watch the video. To the pilots knowledge, they were avoiding a storm, as they should. They flew into a cloudbank whilst avoiding the storm on their radar, but didn't know they were entering something far worse. To them, it was just clouds.

I was aware of this accident at the time. Little did I know that I would have my own story to contribute, thank you for highlighting this accident. In April 2022 I was flying a similar sized jet in a remote desert region. Conditions were unstable with a cold front from the sea pushing into 40 degree desert air. Close to our destination the radio operator reported visibility of 300 meters in blowing sand, with a surface wind gusting to 40 Knots, we made a decision to land at our alternate, just 10 minutes away where the weather report was just better. On initial approach we could see very little in the poor visibility, but the weather radar was clear and we were in relatively smooth air with one stage of flap set, gear still up, positioned on an extended left base at 160 knots. Suddenly the sky around us went red, it became very turbulent, so we focussed on flying speed and attitude. We first hit a positive shear that forced me to close the thrust levers to avoid busting the flap limiting speed followed a second or two later with a violent negative shear that required TOGA in an attempt to keep the speed above the full flap Vref. At the time I was unsure what we had encountered, but it was a very wild ride until we flew into clear air again. It was only when we landed later that afternoon at our original destination that I had a clue. They asked "had we seen the tornados? " then the penny dropped.

I just have to say, i deeply appreciate how you cover these disasters. Especially with this story, it would be SO easy to emphasize the "spooky" coincidences, however the details about how the plane was named, how tornado systems work and how complex radar can be, along with the footage of the disaster site, anchoring this story in the community/physical location, truly drives home how complex and interesting our world is, WITHOUT the need for aliens. Your channel and The Missing Enigma both make the choice to visit the site of y'all's videos and i genuinely believe it adds SO much and honestly i think, combats alot of magical thinking/conspiracy thought that tends to follow disasters I just wanted to say a gigantic Thank You for all of your hard work!

That title implies the tornado is a solid object. Which thinking about it, it really is. A wall of wind, with no mercy. Rest in peace to all lives lost.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Put your hand in water and gently stir. Liquid. Do a jump (not recommended) from on high into the water and with the momentum of the jump, the water will feel a great deal more solid.

[@blindgt]

@@FrancisFjordCupola😂😂

[@5isalivegaming72]

It rips many solid objects in its path apart. It's definitely a physical thing, metaphysical if you will.

[@Tuberuser187]

Fluids (which air classes as under this context) can be as destructive as solid objects with enough velocity, pressure or time, in the case of wind erosion.

[@EShirako]

Also, it might be a wall of wind with solid chunks of ice or trees or houses or whatever too...which won't help anything at all, IF the wall of wind doesn't do you all on its own.

[@kale_xo]

As someone who lives in Oklahoma, USA, where tornados are prevalent enough to be considered just a way of life, I found this episode extremely interesting. I’ve always wondered how this doesn’t happen more often (specifically before weather radar advancements), especially being in Tornado Alley, which also coincidentally coincides with the “flyover states” in America. That said, I am obviously glad that it is a rare occurrence. It’s just always been something I’ve wondered about and it was really interesting seeing your presentation on it. Your videos get better and better with each one. Thank you for all your hard work putting these together for us!

[@TheAnxiousAardvark]

Lived just east of the Rockies and could step out the front door and see tornadoes out on the plains further east. Once was on a two lane road somewhere in SW Nebraska and saw funnel clouds on three sides of me. People who grow up outside "Tornado Alley," like I did, have no idea how common tornadoes are.

[@Isaac.Eiland-Hall]

The brief answer on why it doesn't happen more often is that pilots tend to fly around bad weather. But that might spark the question: What about before radar? And the answer there is that they also still tried to fly around bad weather - but they were usually high enough to overfly stuff like this. Supercell thunderstorms can reach high into the sky, but the worst of the turbulance is relatively closer to the ground. But certainly planes did crash in bad weather.

It was actually a very old brand, named after the company's founder, Anthony Fokker. He started out selling aeroplanes to the Germans in World War 1, when the Netherlands were neutral. It was the favourite aircraft of Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron.

[@absurdist5134]

It's named after Anthony Fokker, the founder. There's a list of famous fokkers on Wikipedia and the numerous aircraft built by that company.

Welcome back, Chloe! Firstly, I'm glad that you enjoyed your vacation. Secondly, I would like to say that as someone who's had an interest in tornados ever since watching the film "Twister" (1996), this story is something I'm gobsmacked by. I've never heard of this one before. Thirdly, if you wish to discuss the Fokker F-28, F-70 and F-100's irritable icing problems, but there are so many cases to explore in one video, I'd recommended trying to embark on making a small miniseries about the Fokker icing accidents. Air Ontario Flight 1363 and U.S. Air Flight 405 being the prominent ones. Also, maybe give a flashback reference to PalAir Macedonian Airlines Flight 301. And finally, since I was mesmerised by the intros of your 1960 New York City Mid Air Collision and Air Canada Flight 621 videos, I had an idea for if you do a highly requested case like Turkish Airlines Flight 981 or United Airlines Flight 232. That at you include a heartbeat that speeds up as images of the plane in flight, cabin and cockpit flash with the beat, ending in the crescendo of a black screen and a crashing sound and then you start telling the story. That would give off a real disaster/horror film vibe. Anyways, in the meantime, I'll let you relax, and thank you for uploading this video about this forgotten, but unique tale in aviation history. I can't wait for the next one! Love from one of your biggest fans!

I associate Eindhoven with WWII and Market Garden. My grandpa landed in Normandy on D-Day+2 and worked his way through France, Belgium, the Netherlands (including keeping the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen intact for 10 before riding it down into the Rhine), and finally into Germany. At one point I'd learned a lot about that phase of the war in Europe (now mostly confused and forgotten in my mind).

@@dascandy Thank you. Then I'll tell you a little about him. My grandpa hated seeing such beautiful places and people destroyed by either side during the war. He did his duty and was awarded 4 bronze stars, but he never claimed them. He didn't think people should receive medals for killing people. He never told me any of his specific actions that merited those medals either. He didn't want me to romanticize his actions, which ate at his insides until he died. He was a good man. I'm sure Eindhoven today is a beautiful city with a million new stories, far more worthy of the telling than stories from the past that define Eindhoven merely as a strategic site with an important bridge to be taken while hopefully not destroying the town too badly. That was my concern. My only knowledge of Eindhoven is its strategic importance during a war 80 years ago. We can never forget what happened, but I want to acknowledge that life moves on, and I'm sure Eindhoven has moved on too. My grandpa moved on as well in 1995. He was buried with military honors in Ft. Snelling National Cemetery in Minnesota. He would have loved to meet you, even if you weren't alive while he was there. He always took every opportunity to meet people from the European countries where he fought so he could thank them for their kindness and hospitality while he was there. It meant a lot to the soldiers, even if that's not a message that gets out very often.

The pilots hated them and I had several of them tell me they were winter conditions deathtraps. As a ramp agent, I remember the cargo holds falling apart from baggage damage and the exposed fiberglass getting into our skin causing irritation and itching. Some small leading edge damage, according to Fokker's maintenance procedures at the time, could be temporarily repaired using duct tape! We never crashed one (and the airline went bankrupt in 1982 before we did!) but I'll always remember them as a real dog of an airplane.

I've studied hundreds of air disasters in meticulous detail for over 20 years and have never heard of this one. You have a great channel 👍 Keep it up and thank you

[@larumpole]

I had to laugh at your muted surprise at the Dutch authorities placement of the plaque in memory of this disaster at the precise point of impact. As a frequent visitor to the Netherlands, this is sooo Dutch! The Dutch are a very logical people. They also have a wry sense of humor. That aside, thank you for another very informative video.

this is one of the plane crashes that fascinates me most. thank you for covering it, chloe! 💖

[@vhhawk]

Love how you credit the music on-screen at the right time. (5:14 for example)

[@mycosys]

My Mother grew up in sight of Rotterdam Airport - my family are still there. Apparently one of my aunts used to sunbake topless on the roof of her building, til she noticed some rather low flying planes on approach XD

[@billygamer3941]

Wonderfully produced presentation, Chloe! The detailed explanation of rotary storms, particularly tornadoes, was well done and a revelation to me. Thank you.

[@sailaab]

Chloe it is always inspiring and touching.. how you make it a personal experience and that much more connected.. by visiting some the places/sites.. at-least the ones within Europe. And that fork in the narration and you taking us through the insights into various weather phenomenon DID actually add to this production and made the documentary that much more wholesome. Our thoughts are with those departed and the horrific realisation which they must have had.. once the plane lost its structural integrity and took those minutes before it 🥺.

[@LeonardoFlor69]

Congratulations on the sponsorship! Get that coin, sis

[@JoePez]

As a weather and aviation geek, this video is right up my alley

[@czbedo]

Thanks for uploading again Chloe! I’ve been following you for about two years now and I gotta say your content has been getting better and better. Thank you got keeping us updated and have a great day! ❤

[@GBOAC]

What an amazing and well made video, thank you so much. I can't wait to see you take on the '92 El-Al crash in Amsterdam, which is has a lot of online resources available. EDIT: strike that last bit! You already did it and I seemingly fail to find it so far! Many thanks! Btw chilling coincedence to see you published this a day before the Flight 2283 crash in Sao Paolo, which seems to be from flying into a severe weather system as well.

[@amylorentson468]

What a truly incredible story!! Side note- You look amazing!! :)

[@rodrigodezubiria2007]

Best aviation meteorological horror video I’ve ever seen

[@Bandaid_Brigade]

My god, what a horrid way to crash… RIP Side note: Tornadoes don’t only get classified by air speed. They also get classified by damage. So, wind speed of 200 doesn’t make a tornado an EF5

[@grmpEqweer]

I think we've (🇺🇸) had a tornado with a clocked wind speed of 300mph. I believe that was the El Reno tornado.

[@OrbManson7]

true, nws just recently changed a reported ef3 to an ef4 we had out here in omaha, nebraska earlier this year because the assessed damage was greater than originally estimated, despite the initial classification being mostly based on the high wind speeds.

[@JosieJOK]

Chloe, your videos are always worth the wait!

[@c128stuff]

I was witness to the inmediate aftermatch of this accident, and remember it like it happened yesterday. I have nothing to add to the information in your video, just thanks for paying some attention to this mostly forgotten air accident.

[@bernardkealey6449]

I don’t usually take notice of sponsored content, but your presentation was very nicely done.

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

I hadn't heard of this accident before. Excellent video! I especially liked that you took the time to go over the storm type and how a tornado forms. New subscriber from Texas 🤠👍🏻

[@M_MTsc]

Your videos are so awesome. No apology required. Even though I was anxiously waiting for it😊

[@dianeellis3925]

I love how you easily explain these accidents. Very thorough. Thanks 😸

[@mjaricacat]

Adorable + knowledgeable=💞

[@thefibergoddess6771]

Living in the US and having experience with tornado's, I have to say that your explanation of how they form and what they are is one of the best I've heard. They are no joke and if you see one move as fast as you can in the opposite direction! PS - I love your dress!

[@theavandenberg6876]

I have a vivid memory of that other big Dutch crash in the Bijlmer near Schiphol. This must have been big news too but I completely forget. Thanks for making it

[@drewintampa]

Thank you Chloe! I thought I was an air disaster aficionado until I saw this. Had no idea. Appreciate you traveling to the Netherlands to bring us this video.

[@ebubetony5097]

Quick question bro coz I was caught of guard. Is she a former dude?

[@absurdist5134]

The pilgrimage to visit was a nice touch.

[@ShadesOClarity]

Very unfortunate and rare. Your style is very informative and well produced. I used to live in Huntsville, Ala. and they suffered two devastating tornadoes. I was there when one struck in 1974 and they had another bad one in 1989. Southern Express Airways Flight 242 that made a forced landing on a highway in Georgia after suffering a duel engine flameout from hail originated in Huntsville. We had terrible storms in the summer.

[@christopherclarke9316]

Keep'em coming Chloe. Always well researched and professionally produced.

[@OrderOfTwisted]

As a wx & aviation nerd, this video was amazing. What a unique situation.

[@christianmhasler]

I’m very into your videos and Carly Anna’s tornado videos so this is like a crossover episode for me! Fantastic work as usual!

[@LooseDeuce]

i love her videos, (and her very orange, Very cute cat!)

[@soothsayersourdough]

Thank you so much for your videos! You do such a great job explaining these concepts for fools like me (I have a sociology degree, we aren't trained in how planes work 😆). Love your asides to explain things further like the weather here and it's always so chilling to see the actual sites. It really adds a lot and I don't think I've ever seen another plane crash/disaster focused creator do that.

[@largeradiance]

Welcome back Chloe!! I hope you enjoyed your vacation 😊

[@ianjames1179]

Nice one Chloe, totally love this Channel. Thank you for all your hard work. There are loads of aviation channels, and this is one of the really good ones.

[@shadymorsi4347]

Wow i never thought someone would make a video about this diaster... i visited the crash site years ago and it was still rather obsceure Thanks Chloe for coverring it

[@retiredfirefighter415]

Another amazing video and an accident I haven’t heard of before. Thank you for covering more than most.

[@staceygrahame2504]

Chloe pet!! 😉 Your hair is fiiiiiiire girl! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I love it! With the make up you’re giving me Taylor Swift vibes today! 😍 I love the little very subtle ways in which you try to lighten your heavy themed documentaries (I’m calling them what they are!) with things like little puns, the broadcasting to ‘yourself’, the way you’ll match your outfit with your background - and today your hair haha - (which actually gives a really crisp and clear picture) and the music during those segments which is almost slightly ‘silly’ if you know what I mean…. Im sure I’ve said it before but I love everything about your work. You go into so much little detail that often we’ve never heard of even from well published disasters. You’re a master at research and the way you deliver your content is stellar. Better than a lot of stuff I’ve seen on Netflix etc! And your voice of course - I could listen to it read to me for daaaaays. In fact, that’s what first made me watch one of your breakdowns when the You Tube algorithm brought you up on my feed one day. You’ve got the most perfect voice for narration. It’s so clear and so pitch/tone perfect that it’s almost soothing! And that’s the best kind of voice you want telling these awful tragedies. I switch off if I stumble across one and then the person narrating starts getting all hyper and over dramatic as the accidents unfold…. those people seem pretty crass to me. I also love your sensitivity, your well timed wit and the way you’re not afraid to call out BS. The fact you’ve started going to some of these sites too is just more proof of dedication to your craft. It’s such a unique aspect that definitely sets you apart from all the other channels. And the photos you hold before showing us the calm of what those places look like today hits so, so hard. I also very much appreciate that unlike the other channels you don’t show the impact moments followed by these big explosions and your graphics don’t have the subject plane showing any damage like fire, breaking up etc. it’s super, super classy and respectful to do it the way you do so the plane flying in your videos remains fully in tact and you only show simple diagrams over the footage. That’s just so much better and appropriate in so many ways. I don’t know how you’ve not yet been snapped up by some big production network but it’s only a matter of time. I’ve watched a lot of these channels over the years and I’ve seen a lot of these incidents before, yet I’ve learnt so much more about many of them from you. And your attention to detail and effort is truly appreciated. I mean, you only have to look at your comments section compared to other large aviation channels. Yours is the only one where literally everyone is either interacting with the content or praising your work. And the fact that so many pilots have been subscribing this year I think speaks volumes too. It’s hard to impress any audience in this day and age, let alone the experts - the very people who work in the industry and who fly these aircraft. You’re an educator, a producer, a documentary maker, a filmography, a computer tech, a researcher and an inspiration all wrapped up into a super awesome lass who also consistently has awesome hair, eyeliner techniques I can only dream of being able to do and a wardrobe that’s full of treasures. You lady, are the mother of in total legends. 😘 This Yorkshire lass thanks you, Chloe xxx

[@EstorilEm]

Uh. It’s an aviation YT channel. Maybe you should just send a love letter by mail? I don’t think people (or the algorithm) come here for hair and makeup. 🤦‍♂️

[@markrix]

I was thinking the same.. thinking well maybe things are different on the other side of the pond but no..

Oh Chloe, you do the best research! Worth the wait, as always. Thank you!

[@jackiehoward7300]

I have a terrible fear of tornadoes. I’m from the south having lived in Kentucky and Florida. I moved to Eastern Washington State because the weather is more predictable. I can’t imagine flying an aircraft anywhere near a tornado. They are so unpredictable though, that’s why I fear them. Thank you Chloe for the informative video.

The additional info on tornadoes is well presented ! (Also found the explanation s on Fokker airplanes quite interesting. I had no idea they had this track record of unfortunate events !) ps: not me thinking your voice is so pleasant to hear that it would be delightful if you were an audiobook actress 😊). You have a way to give enough energy to your voice to keep the attention, but also end some sentences with a really soft voice. It's really cool to listen to !

[@BeverlyBigglesworth]

I love your voice. Gentle on my ears.
