The pilot who saved the Qantas A380 QF32 - Captain Richard De Crespigny Interviewed by Eve Cogan

[@deeanna8448]

This was wonderful! She was only 10, and she did a better interview than a lot of adult journalists. The Captain was an excellent subject because he treated her like a journalist instead of a kid. Much respect to both!

[@MsMutiti]

Well done Eve. Capt. Richard De Crespigny should be honored by naming one of the QF's Airbus after him. He seemed very calm and well organized.

[@EveCogan]

My dad knew him from a seminar that they attend each month. I called him up and the rest is history! -Eve evecogan com

[@bs2502]

Well done Eve, I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few years time while I'm sitting on a Qantas A380 somewhere out there, I'll hear your voice come over the PA introducing yourself as our Captain. I will remember your name and most definitely will feel a sense of security knowing we are in good, capable hands with you at the controls. Whatever your dreams and plans are, you will achieve them and I wish you well. What an awesome young lady.

[@mayapadilla9385]

He is such an incredibly intelligent man.💘

[@TanzanianRoots]

This is such a decent interview! A 12 year old seriously does better than big media channels.

[@brucemckenna7035]

If they awarded the Victoria Cross Medal in the aviation industry then Capt. Richard De Crespigny would be a truly deserving recipient. This man is a true modern day hero. He would dismiss this and say he was only doing his job. Well under extraordinary duress and chaotic circumstances he saved many lives which history shows should have been lost. What a remarkable, humble man,

[@TheIkaraCult]

A hero of our time, the more i learn about this flight the more impressed I am by this man.

[@megangaukroger4195]

What a great interview. The young lady seems very knowledgable and had some great questions

[@lisalamborn2133]

This was just a wonderful interview!! Ive seen the documentary on the whole incident. Those men in the cockpit worked amazingly together to get the plane on the ground safely.They saved hundreds of people.That plane should've never made it but wow these guys did it!!

[@barrycoomer8137]

Great interview, and what a genuine, nice guy.

[@thomasclarke4320]

The book is brilliant looking at it from an aspiring pilots view.

[@Boschwash24]

I am quite surprised he hasn't got a MBE or knighthood from the queen

[@thomasclarke4320]

yes same

[@ronaldhowell2041]

Not really, The book is mostly all about his being a shit-hot pilot, from the time he was in the AAF and later at Qantas. Very little about the actual QF32 in-flight incident.

[@ahmadreza1029]

An excellent interview and wonderful job. Once when I was returning home (Sydney Australia) from Istanbul, Turkey in 2012, the Etihad Airline which I was onboard was doing well until we reached Abu Dhabi Airport that's when the captain announced some steering issues. It was a nightmare, I found myself in the jaws of death all I did first, I prayed to Allah to save me and all others and in case of a crash, to forgive me it was a blackout for me and secondly to remain calm and not to get agitated and not to make noises I know it's hard to describe. But fortunately the captain somehow managed to safely land the plane, but he had to land and stop it somewhere in the airport not to the corridors.

[@EveCogan]

Hi Sabrewolf85 It was not just that one engine stopped working which you are correct is easy to navigate through. It was that the engine broke apart and damaged many other parts of the plane. This made it very hard, close to impossible to fly. Captain De Crespigney goes into great detail in his book about the problems. -Eve evecogan com

[@acempdc]

Congratulations Eve, great job! Your questions are perfect and quite inquisitive and straight to the point.

[@raymondmbhenyane4103]

Great interview by Captain, I've been following the QF32 story through out. I have learned a lot from this

[@DaveWhoa]

really good interview with good questions, well done Eve. this was 8yrs ago tho, hope youre doing well now!

[@willsaviation4765]

hey eve just want to let you know that your changing our world i am a young aviation lover and i look forward to seing future videos of yours

[@staticz3172]

Good job to ALL the crew on board the flight deck of QF32

[@chidlers99]

fascinating interview! And it was very gentlemanly of the captain to talk to a young girl, and to invite her to his house to do the interview.

[@nickmattingley1711]

originally, Richard wanted to perform an Armstrong spiral [If you're into planes and stuff, you'll know what that is] but the other pilots disagreed and so that ended up landing at Changi.

[@devent.6052]

Wow, you're like 10, 11 (you're probably 13 now) and you have such a brave mind! Questions were well thought out and planned carefully. I'm not sure if you memorized them but this interview was great! Out of curiosity, have you ever been flying on VH-OQA (QF32)? (Plz answer)

[@raysutton3037]

Eve, way to go!, good luck with your quest.

[@nivaldoss2]

I can't believe that you're so young with such mind. I huge congratulations of a Brazilian who lover aiplane. Pls to read about Santos Dumont, the Brazilian who invented the airplane.

[@mauriciogonzalez8982]

Greetings from Colombia. Amazing interview. Congratulations, keep going Eve.

[@nederlander66]

excellent interview with a future presenter or journalist,eve. Captain respect for the job you and your team did.

[@ChrisCardenDrums]

great interview eve, I signed the petition because the invention of data and voice recording has allowed us to learn from accidents. good luck!

[@petraskvarc317]

Bright minded little girl ;) one would not expect a child this age to behave and talk to another person in this fashion. And wow the captain just seems such a cool person, i love the way he answers.

[@EveCogan]

Hi Goktug, The book is on: * Amazon or iTunes (electronic) * google: qf32 aero (paper book) I can highly recommend the book. -Eve

[@oliverpodesta5028]

Well done Eve, you are amazing.

[@duttonfx]

Wow this was truly amazing! How did you get to meet Richard Crespigny?

[@AndrewMcMillen]

great interview Eve!

[@rfn944]

You could have popped the circuit breaker for the flight data recorder after you landed to save the data from being overwritten.

[@gosst60]

I dont think the A380 is wired that way..its all Digital...

[@wwt17]

Great interview! Thanks for that informative vid!

[@janinebell763]

Well done Eve.

[@MrAlps26]

Captain Hats off you truly are a champion

[@robertparker3760]

Amen to the thoughts expressed

[@OZSPOTTER]

Well done eve...you go girl!!!

[@sandranavarrogarcia1759]

I loved x EVER . Richard de Crispingny 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@PocketInfinite]

How are you able to interview people? Were you on QF32 which the pilot gave everyone his personal phone number.

[@yochris77]

Awesome job Eve!

[@tedsun8500]

Good on you, mate

[@Andym8910]

You'll go far young lady

[@gauravsardana1]

Good Job Eve !

[@EveCogan]

Hi Chubby No I was 10 when I did this video. I am now 11 years old -Eve

[@timcunningham722]

I'm the son of two journalists and a professional interviewer myself. You did an amazing job here that many experienced pro's would be proud of.

[@bahaduranwar179]

awesome really great

[@talhabadar7361]

what was that three sentences qantas took out from book

[@Goktugerol1]

Where can I find that book in London ?

[@elmin2323]

Great book not half of it is about how good he was in the Air Force

[@yassm]

Good Job ☺

[@JackMartin100]

Looks like a nice guy! :)

[@stevenreiss]

Eve - should get yourself a microsoft flightsimulator so that you can start flying nearly all types on a pc the a 380 is available as an addon but its going to be quite difficult to work through - but very rewarding.. start with small propeller craft and work your way up to jets. much good scenery and computers make for a rewarding experience.

[@doodlejbhs]

FSX is junk. Switch to X-Plane for full realism.

[@frangipani681]

Amazing!!!

[@petma5551]

Am I the only one confused here, the guy giving the interview(slimmer) appears different from the one (huge)who captained the plane, their faces too appear different, I need help here!

[@gosst60]

Hes the same Captin..hes on my F B..a very skilled pilot...

[@markcf506]

Love the vid

[@hussainyoussef3010]

eve can u ask captin decrapney can i have his number because i have soo many questions to ask plz

[@betsin4334]

He and the co pilot did lol

[@petraskvarc317]

how is that they have not decided to land asap when there was huge posibilitiy for the plane to explode with wiring torn apart and fuel leak?

[@bs2502]

winter july It was their intention to land asap, but to land as soon as safely possible. The damaged aircraft was flying and responsive to critical components needed to maintain flight. Because it had just taken off for a long flight it was actually to heavy to land immediately because it was fuel heavy. The captain made the correct choice to fly a holding pattern while he and his crew stabilised the aircraft, went through and checked all their systems and made preparations for the emergency landing. The Captain is awesome because the holding pattern he deliberately chose, was close enough to the runway that he had chosen to return too and land. If things had of quickly deteriorated and he had a complete loss of power, he was close enough to that runway that he would have been able to glide the A380 to the runway without engine power. Hope this helps you.

[@petraskvarc317]

thanks a lot, sure it helps! i'm really interesteed in aviation, so i like to learn new things continually.

[@nickmattingley1711]

+winter july they need to figure everything out [checklists, problems, and possibilities]

[@Josh-gp9ge]

hi eve

[@nickholcombe8468]

To Derby in London....🤔🤔🤔 I think he meant Derby in Derbyshire

[@greendayforever2k9]

Thought he said Derby AND London. Rolls Royce are based in Derby so that would make sense

[@sabrewolf85]

WTF a single engine failure on a 4 engine airplane and he SAVED it? I mean that's just normal duty c'mon!

[@elmin2323]

Guys a flog failed his line check the fo saved the day

[@JayJasperLondon]

I could listen to that (Aussie) accent all day - it's my fave - but I'd have interviewed the other pilot (Matt or whatever his name is) cos let's face it: HE had to deal with that wing-wounded bird throwing up ECAM responses like TWITTER tweets after a Trump visit AND he's the more handsome one (Matt Hicks that is, not Trump haha😉 ) 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😂👍🏻 #jks #ormaybenot 😜
