​@Suicidal in Cleveland As much as I love the aesthetic of those tri-jets, the unfortunate reality that myself and many across the world have been forced to accept in recent years is that twin jets are simply better in every way. They're less expensive, more fuel efficient, easier to maintain and so on. Although, there is talk of future supersonic jets using three engines so that's exciting.

Could you imagine being a Fed Ex pilot and seeing that the plane you fly today is this one in the incident!!

[@watershed44]

@BRIMTIME !!!!!!! I'd wager if they did see this video and knew about the accident and damage (which appears extensive) that those Fed Ex pilots would be taking an extra good look at it, even today, since fatigue and repairs contribute to more problems down the road many times.

[@patrickmollohan3082]

It seems like FedEx Pilots got sandbagged by FedEx buying up all of these DC-10's. I just pray that these Pilots have safe flights when they get one of these old jets. I would think that they should be getting to the age of MANDATORY retirement to Victorville, CA, where they can sit around all day in the sun. I mean...how many Landing/Takeoff Cycles can be expected out of planes this old and still safely hold up?! The LAST thing that ANY of us would want to see is DC-10's to start failing structurally..and start having a rash of "incidents" because of faulty airplane infrastructure caused by age related failures.

[@Sweetteawillie]

Patrick Mollohan Long haul jets have fewer cycles of pressurization. This determines the life span, fuselage and wing flex. Manufacturers use NDE testing during assembly to ensure integrity. They can determine the fatigue point of the structure through simulation and define the useful life. Maintenance procedures require periodic NDE inspections of critical structures. Cracks as small as 0.04 inches can be found and repaired. You can bet on that particular plane getting special scrutiny based on its history and flight hours, inspections becoming more frequent. Structures can be repaired to "new" condition.

[@patrickmollohan3082]

@@Sweetteawillie Sweetteawillie, I completely understand what you are saying and I appreciate you letting me know these standards. My reasons for my comment was based on all the piss poured maintenance, and corner cutting that occurred on these planes in the past. I know that these, and all the other planes flying commercially, are supposed to undergo inspections at set intervals. I know that they are supposed to go thru a C or D check every so many years. Where they basically get stripped down to bare minimum and things like you said are performed. Cracks and other anomalies get fixed etc.. BTW, these cargo transports are long haul, but I'm pretty sure that they are cycled more than most long haul passenger flight, due to the sheer volume of cargo FedEx and others handle. I'm hoping that FedEx has extra jets to use while these jets are taken out of rotation, sometimes for weeks. My line of thought is..all companies are going to cut corners where they can. Some more unscrupulous carriers "pencil whip" and sign off on inspections that never get done. They basically roll the dice with peoples lives as the bet. FedEx and other freight carriers are big enough, and "liquid" enough, to have these intensive checks done. But do they? As far as computers go, they are a very big part of design now. I'm sure that everything is designed to withstand "worse case scenario" conditions. The question is: do the people who actually build the planes...follow these designs to the letter? All it would take is an Executive worrying about cutting down weight to save fuel, or any other crazy shit that people do nowadays. Could they require the builders to change from the original plans? All it takes is an Engineer to approve something like this. The top brass starts seeing $$$ being saved based on a possibly flawed calculation? NO...I'm not a conspiracy theorist or other kind of whackjob...lol! I'm sure that the majority of carriers following regulations and performing inspections, repairs, etc. My rambling is just based on all the lives this particular airplane has cost in the past. Mostly due to the aforementioned corner cutting, Jerry-rigging, and record falsification of the past. It's good that they found use for the DC10 as a cargo transporter. It's just something that always comes to mind when I see a DC10. Again, thank you for the info. I live learning and being enlightened. Have a great day!🙂

[@Sweetteawillie]

Patrick Mollohan Agreed. That being said, it would seem that DAL has a first rate maintenance program, having some of the oldest planes flying. But they too could be pencil whipping some stuff. I have performed phase inspections on Navy jets at squadron level, based on flight hours, but the the other in-depth checks are performed at depot level. I was an airframe mechanic.

[@petermendoza1170]

When the captain notified the co-pilot(pilot flying) that the airspeed was "too high", I believe he "erred" in telling him to "Bring it DOWN". No one will know for certain but the co-pilot may have considered making a go-around, but the captain told him otherwise and the co-pilot immediately did so, believing the captain made the wiser decision. It's can be hard to remember that when YOURE the PIC, it is YOU who makes the final decision whether to land or go-around.

[@MrBoybergs]

I was mulling over exactly that....

[@itsjonathanku6074]

Couldn't have said it better!

[@davidedmundson8402]

The captain should have called for a go-around and not "put it down". But the captain is the pilot in command, even if the first officer is manipulating the controls. This would have been a good time for a mutiny by the first officer, which would have been forgiven (and hopefully rewarded) once the airspeed information was retrieved.

[@FarazZafarVampireHunter]

I am amazed that the plane was repaired and put back in service. Certainly looked like a write off to me. 🤔

[@andrewmyralane6673]

Thats because it was a DC10 built in the 70s. Had it been airbus or boeing of today it would have torn apart and possibly had casualties. Planes back then were built with alot of structural redundancy. As an experenced dc10 guy told me once. They really didn't know how strong to build them back then so they built them as strong as possible!!

[@Napoleon_Blownapart]

@@andrewmyralane6673 Thats not true. Today's airliners have materials and are built to absorb as much energy as possible to protect passengers in a crash landing. Its the same logic as new cars vs old cars. A fender bender in a 80's car might not crush the car so much, but you'll feel the impact much more, possibly causing injury, while a new car will crush and crumble but will absorb the energy away from the passengers.

[@notproplayer3649]

@@andrewmyralane6673 excuse me but I don't think older means sturdier, far from that, for example the DC10 had a couple of accidents with it's door and some were even fatal, the people who built this plane knew this but said nothing and also investigators on the Turkish airlines crash just after taking off from Paris pointed out that even though the DC10 passed safety tests, they only met the strict minimum requirements which is somewhat not very reassuring, this just proves the DC10 was simply a bad plane, and also just look at the DC10 accident. In that video, the plane would have never overrun the runway if the auto throttle would have worked like on airbuses or boeings, this is an old plane that wasn't even structurally sturdy like you want us to believe. Look, my father used to fly in DC10's to go to Africa for his work and he always said he'd rather pay himself a bit more to fly with a330's then to fly with the uncomfortable, loud and frankly not very confidence inspiring DC10.

[@califdad4]

@@notproplayer3649 after the 70s, weren't most of the issues airline maintenance that was using a forklift to service the engine. I flew home from Honolulu to SF on a DC10 Oct1988, and sitting in the middle row, I can tell you it was a very comfortable ride to the mainland

[@notproplayer3649]

@@califdad4 the forklift maintenance issue was what caused the deadliest crash in America because the engine fell off on take off, it was due to improper maintenance by American airlines (I think) who took off the entire engine block at once instead by multiple pieces who saved money but was also riskier, and the forklift accidentally hit the mounting point of the engine which made it go loose the day of the crash, this wasn't the DC10's fault but it was also a single accident, what was far more dangerous were the cargo doors that already claimed the life of a 100 victims, but thankfully there was an extremely skilled and competent crew who managed to land the plane in Sioux city and so saved the lives of the 200 who survived. The FAA "recommended" McDonnell to change the locking mechanism of the doors so that it would be easier to tell if they were properly locked or no but these fuckers didn't do that and 3 years later, the Turkish airlines crash occurred which was inevitable, this was McDonnell's and the FAA's fault. I haven't flown in the Dc10 but I flew in the a330, my father has flown in both and says that the a330 is so much more confidence inspiring then the dc10 and even much more comfortable which isn't a surprise to me having flown it, there is a pertucular incident my father told me happened to him on the Dc10, after taking off from Marseilley, he heard a loud bang and seconds after, the crew rushed to look through the windows while saying (in French) "we can't see anything, there's nothing out on this side...", the checked to see the plane from every window but fortunately it was nothing and the plane flew as it was nothing... In the end I just think that the Dc10 is from a different era, good thing it flies only cargo nowadays

[@pittmanfh]

I am not a pilot, but I do watch lots of YT vids 😁, and I have been a passenger on commercial flights. What I've learned is the NTSB is going to attribute every single accident to pilot error. They're going to find something the pilots did incorrectly, or not exactly by the book for that particular aircraft. IMO if there is a system built into the aircraft which is supposed to serve a particular function, then it damn-well should perform that function. This is a case of a known issue with the aircraft's computer system. Yet the pilots are blamed for relying on this malfunctioning system. There is an easy explanation for this. The NTSB gets wined and dined by the aircraft manufacturers and all those involved in that industry. They know each other on a first name basis, and the pilots are going to end up at the wrong end of the investigation about 99% of the time because of this. Again, I have no sides on this as I am but an infrequent passenger. There just always seems to be a pilot error component when something goes wrong. It is like telling pilots, "this is the auto-pilot button. But if the auto-pilot f*cks up, it's your ass."

[@Primus54]

@@pittmanfh: In this instance, there was very clearly pilot error involved. From a student’s very first flight lesson, they are taught that monitoring airspeed is critical during an approach and landing. Clearly neither one of them were monitoring it. Second, if a wide body DC-10 has not touched down with half the runway gone, the Captain should have ordered or initiated a go-around. The aircraft had enough airspeed to perform a climb out. Lastly, the pilots were already aware of the unreliability of the auto throttles because of problems during the flight. There was no reason whatsoever they needed or should have relied on auto throttle to make a safe and coordinated landing. Technology and pilot aids such as auto pilot and auto throttle were invented to reduce pilot workload and fatigue, but this and other videos have demonstrated that too many commercial pilots place an over reliance on these systems to the point they don’t recognize malfunctions until it’s too late.

Ret Captain: the awareness of landing performance of commercial jets has been very low and continues to be a global aviation cause of crashes. This subject deserves yearly review during pilot checks and in initial acft qualifications. Crosswinds, tire/surface wear, gross weight, runway contamination, are factors even when landing on speed on touchdown zones. I’ve performed and commanded go arounds when at least one factor was iffy. I’m glad I did. This was a go around at 500 ft; not stable. The results speaks loudly. Thanks

@@Rhaman68 True. If you haven't achieved all the parameters for a stable approach by the Final Approach Fix or by 500' AGL you MUST perform a go round. I'm long retired now but I remember we introduced this into our SOP's about 20 years ago as an absolute requirement.

The best words to hear in an aviation disaster documentary/simulation: EVERYONE ON BOARD SURVIVED.

[@megatop412]

Thanks for posting. I grew up next to JFK and remember this crash. Dad took us up Rockaway Turnpike to see it and you could see SAS hanging over the edge of Thurston Basin. It sat there for a few days from what I remember until they got it pulled out. What an eerie sight. At the time my biggest fear was that if I were on the plane I might have had to jump into that nasty water since some people had to jump into the water even though that basin is only a few feet deep

Great video I feel good when I see : Everyone on Board Survive…

[@bobclarie]

Superb Production, despite it's vintage. We always look forward to your releases. Keep up the fantastic work. Bob

Let this be a lesson about self-driving cars. Computers, wires, and switches all have a tendency to fail, and Murphy's Law says they will fail at the most inopportune times. Coming in 50 knots too fast and no one notices?

[@rrknl5187]

As a pilot, I agree completely. I would never knowingly board any aircraft that was flown solely by computer without a human pilot supervising.

[@Violetenist]

@@rrknl5187 good luck with going to most trips since computers are more reliable than human error

[@rrknl5187]

@@Violetenist No doubt........especially the MCAS computer on the 737MAX......... Computers do what they do very well.....when they work. But when we depend on them and they fail, especially on a critical safety system, human lives are lost. Not acceptable.

[@vq5933]

@@Violetenist Computers are designed by humans so they will always be prone to failure

I continue to enjoy watching your channel. Your work is excellent in my opinion.

I actually LOL at this reference

[@66lwmorgan]

Started watching your video's back in the day and the only change I can see is they've gotten better if that's possible.

[@yesmysticeon]

It still operated as of August 2019

[@laurawilliams5363]

I just discovered your site! You do an excellent job with your videos and the accurate information. I am not a pilot but have a family full of them! My brother wrote flight simulator for Microsoft and got the program into all branches of the military for use as a training tool. He wrote several other flight programs. Very proud of him!

[@rosieposie6671]

So many hours of experience and both pilots still made mistakes. Thankfully all survived.

[@gwegwe1984]

Great video, as usual. Congrat's !

[@bananaman4207]

I just noticed that another dc-10 in 1979 that crashed in mount Erebus had the same flight number as this one 901

[@qaisbhaisaheb412]

It's not 1979 but 1981,was en route to Antarctica, it's flight plan was changed by Air New Zealand such that it's final destination was mount Erebus. After that that particular flight was discontinued.

[@AEMoreira81]

Edmund Hilary was supposed to be on that flight. His close pal took his place on that doomed flight.

[@myjeanification]

I love your videos, short and to the point. Facts without the drama.

Hi appreciate your hard work i love your channel. Please check for gulf air crashed in Bahrain in 2000, u might create one more great video about it :)

Whenever I see "Everyone survived" I literally give a two thumbs up!

[@jameswalker3073]

I can't wait till Friday night it used to be going out clubbing now it's a night of watching tube watching The flight channel new videos thumps up if u like watching the flight channel on Fridays..

[@InteriorDesignStudent]

Pilot: Brake! BRAKE! KZbin: Me: Well played, KZbin. Well played.

[@Doones51]

It seems like most crashes occur when the co-pilot is flying the plane. The Captain should have been monitoring the copilot's high speed as well as the high altitude and called a go-around, especially when they landed so far down the runway.

[@THYB737]

This isnt true. There were also not few crashes when the captain was flying and where accidents could have been avoided if the copilot communicated his doubts. So, if a plane crashes because of pilot error, the whole crew failed, not a single pilot.

[@htos1av]

Ahhh, sweet Friday, AND a new TFC vid!

[@flybywire5866]

So if one of the crew had looked at the speed, the whole incident could have been avoided?

[@julosx]

They should have performed a missed apparoach and try again at a slower speed.

[@rrknl5187]

The pilot monitoring is supposed to call out airspeeds, especially when they're too high or too low.

[@shelley6746]

Another Awesome video with spot on information…I’m so glad everyone survived🙏🏼

[@WinterWitchTarot]

I just saw a video involving a JetBlue flight heading to Austin, Texas (2014) in where the aircraft’s right engine failed causing smoke to go into the passenger cabin. Oh, and everyone survived 😁👏🏻🏆♥️ some guy recorded a few minutes of what was going inside the cabin before they did a safe emergency landing. I’d appreciate it if you created a video of this incident. Thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@dalejr183]

Another lesson for the future and today. I remember my first ride on a Delta DC-10 from DFW too LAX also in 1984 when I was in Kindergarten. No matter how convenient or smart computers get they also r at risk for a malfunction so u can not let your guard down and should be able too take control immediately. Getting Complacent is our biggest problem. Sure they work 99 percent of the time but it only takes that one percent and that's the fear.
