I lost three friends and fellow Airmen when Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed on takeoff due to a pilot error. August 16, 1987, was the worst day in my life, and I will live with the pain for the rest of my life. Karen Englert, age 28, USAF Staff Sergeant Charles Englert, age 27, USAFR Staff Sergeant Charles Englert Jr., age 14 months

So sorry to hear this i flew planes a lot as a kid and wont fly anymore as a adult not sure why i was less afraid as a kid then a adult though even as a kid i had some speculation about planes i like them more in video games and simulators

You know you’re old when you remember all of these accidents.

[@markanthony1004]

I definately remember more than a few but some were well before my time. I also still remember at Chicago Midway had a plane not be able to stop when landing and ended up on a freeway. I think that was the early or mid 2000s yet I never hear people mention it even soon after it happened

[@michelleroberts6597]

​@@markanthony1004re. it never really was mentioned after, I wondered this, too. it's very strange, and I wonder if this has to do with the governments and airline companies doing their best quashing any news about them.

I think that accident was caused by the arrogance of the poster boy klm pilot that thought the rules didn't apply to him.

The Columbia crash has had a large and important part of the story omitted here. Nasa KNEW the foam had hit the wing right at the start of the mission, as it filmed and reviewed each take off and the foam coming lose is easily spotted on the footage. They had had some strange readings from sensors in the area and even discussed things they could do to prevent an accident happening, such as get the crew to do a reentry favouring the undamaged side, or even a complete rescue mission, as Endeavour was almost ready to go on her own mission. But they chose to do nothing, content and arrogant in their own designs. The same arrogance that overrode the engineers they should have listened to in the Challenger disaster. Both tragedies were preventable, and I'd bet even now that same arrogance persists and they haven't learned from either. RIP to all those who lost their lives so unnecessarily.

Rip Boeing 747 after retirement 😢😭

[@f.k.b.16]

In the 1970s, the Indian government initiated policies to encourage foreign companies to invest in local industry. Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) was asked to build a plant for the manufacture of Sevin, a pesticide commonly used throughout Asia. As part of the deal, India's government insisted that a significant percentage of the investment come from local shareholders. The government itself had a 22% stake in the company's subsidiary, Union Carbide India Limited

[@jasonmorahan7450]

On Tenerife the Pan Am flight did not miss the 3rd exit, it was a turn which was physically impossible for a 747 to make and they had already passed the 1st exit with 3 remaining. Complicated by non-native English by the controller they were then instructed to take the 3rd exit which, by logical reasoning as shown in CVR playback they assumed had to be the 3rd remaining exit, or 4th overall and due to the overloading conditions and intrusive radio traffic had become imprudent to explicitly confirm repetitively, as they had already attempted explicit confirmation with the controller and the explanation was no clearer with his patience apparently running thin, it was thus reasonable to assume the instruction had to be for the only plausible 3rd exit being the 3rd remaining exit, the only one the 747 was actually capable of making and controllers must have some comprehension of commercial aircraft ground handling capabilities as a basic qualification. This no more contributed to the collision than using the runway for a taxi way to begin with. As the KLM flight had not received take-off clearance it made no difference whether the 747 had left the runway or not, it could just as easily have been another aircraft behind it entering the runway as a taxi way, since KLM took off without clearance on a runway being used as a taxi way. Saying the Pan Am flight shouldn't have been there is like saying female tourists wearing skirts contribute to kidnappings in third world countries.

How can you mistake a small fighter for a huge airliner if you have binoculars. Even without binoculars . I have this air traffic app, and can clearly see most airliners at 40,000 ft without binoculars. No excuse!

[@derreckmckenzie5521]

They left out a lot of the details and information like the pings that were picked up were from a F22 or whatever fighter jet that was taking off at the same time either from the same air port or very near by , as well as the passenger jet was over an hour late so there was no scheduled flights from passenger jets on record which the ship had knowing when all flights were , they were engauaged with pirate boats who had fled towards the boundary of international waters were the ship couldn't go and had opened fired on one of the helicopters deployed to catch up and identify the hostile boats, so things were in full combat mode and the jet was like 100 miles away or so when first detected and only after it crossed a certain point heading towards the ship did it fire after several attempts to contact and identify the jet , and it was like 9 or 10 miles away when hit so wasn't visible by site not that they were out on the deck , there inside a state of the art war ship with walls of steel armour the best technology of the time so this program portrays events to fit there made for tv script.

[@tblcville]

yall need to add the beruit blast to this list very relevant incident

[@barbiek3987]

This series only has 10 episodes, made in 2019, before the Beirut explosion.

[@casualriley]

Concorde crashed because Air France overloaded the plane. It should've been able to fly & gain altitude with only 2 of 4 engines working. But Air France loaded too much weight on the plane, so losing 2 engines became a death sentence & the plane slowly lost altitude before crashing into a hotel. Predictably the French govt focused exclusively on the tire puncture/fire, while ignoring the profit-over-safety practices at Air France that actually doomed the plane, which would've implicated Air France executives.

[@rickhensen3278]

Correction: had nothing to do with being overloaded. At altitude the concord could have cruised with 2 engines. On take-off, you need mazimum thrust; with only 2 engines of 4 functioning & rear of the plane starting to drop, the large delta wing only caused tremendous drag instead of lift thus causing it to drop out of the sky. If you take another look at video & understand the "laws-of-flight", you'll more clearly see this.
