Air Force B-52 Crashes Just After TakeOff | Falling Apart Over Guam and Kyrgyzstan

[@InlandOne]

Great presentation. I served in a USAF B-52 combat evaluation unit & sadly there were many B-52 losses during non-combat operations. One occurred on 28 Mar 68 where a B-52F disappeared into the Gulf of Mexico with it & its 8 aircrew never found.

If you want an even more sobering reality...back in the 60's, the U.S. Navy lost approximately 600 aircraft per year(!) to accidents, mishaps, bad landings, etc. There is nothing safe about aviation and it can never be underestimated.

The second one I'm wondering exactly how they thought they were going to be refueling a plane with those oscillations going on. As soon as I noticed that they should have turned back to base. They even had an 18 minute window where another plane could have been launched to take that spot, assuming one was fuled up and ready to go.

is <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="290">4:50</a> an encoding error behind the scenes (i-frame blabla) or is it my adblock trying to silence an ad and i'm the only one sseing that?

[@jessicasnaplesfl7474]

Ejection seat mechanisms should NOT have speed or altitude restrictions! Who is responsible?

[@cutterbacon]

Who is responsible? Human frailty as always.

[@topgun1457]

you can eject at mach 2 first and the there is not alt restrictions most ejection seats are 0/0 seat that can eject safely at 0ft but the b-52 is a old airframe and also has downward ejection seats and upward ejecting seats and has hatch's to exit with out a ejection seats so is not worth the money and time to redesign the 52 to take 0-0 seats since that would mean a design of the whole cockpit

Dear FlightChannel - I love your videos. However, I am legally blind and much of the time. I cannot read the text on the video because there is not enough contrast. Will you please make it more accessible by putting the white text into a black box? Much of the time, the white text is then on top of a video of white clouds or blue sky, and there's not enough contrast. It would be way more accessible to people if you put the text inside of a black box; therefore, it will always be in high contrast. Thanks so much.

Surely these pilots had been trained to recognise a Dutch Roll, and to be able to cope. No mention of using the 'Yaw Damper Failure' checklist or descending into denser air!

[@timonsolus]

We don't know if there was a 'Yaw Damper Failure' checklist...

[@bobcatman334]

Man what happened to this channel. It’s all re uploads

[@cutterbacon]

Was amazing channel before shame.

[@Georgiaboy43]

Haven't seen it before or have forgotten

[@ronaryel6445]

Thank you for this video. I personally think it is important that military aircraft have the same data and cockpit recorders as civilian aircraft so that investigators can determine as precisely as possible the cause of a mishap. If I am not mistaken, this is now implemented with new aircraft. Retrofits on older aircraft? Second incident: An inexperienced crew, likely not having experienced a dutch roll before, didn't appreciate the danger they were in. I will speculate that a very old aircraft like the KC-135 might also have been more susceptible to fatal cracks. If left alone to fly straight, an aircraft can recover from a Dutch roll by itself, since most aircraft (except for inherently unstable aircraft like the F-117, F-22, F-35 etc.) exhibit positive roll stability. If the aircraft does not recover, the pilot has to use rudder input to counter the Dutch roll and return the aircraft to stable flight prior to initiating turns or rolls. Easy for me to type this on social media; much harder for a pilot todo it properly.

Look, if you’re gonna keep reuploading two older episodes, at least bring the old intro format back.

[@TheLiamster]

I swear I’ve seen this video before

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

Pretty sure it was posted a while back as individual episodes for each aircraft.

[@normanmaucha]

Have watched this before

[@Mr38thstreet]

Neither air crews seemed up to the task of flying these complex aircraft. I don't think we got the full explanation of what caused these incidents. The pilots on the flights seemed too inexperienced to handle there respective machines from what I could gather from the video.

[@Malz777-t9p]

Very very sad to watch😮😢

[@ComradDave]

I didn't know anyone on this flight

[@aerologisticsaviation]

thats no b52?

[@vetworker]

Looks like a B52 to me. Get your eyes checked

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

The B52 is the first story on this video, the plane in the second story is a refueling plane, the KC-135R.

[@susiedyer3260]

Sounds 2 me that the government was using both of these aircraft and crews n unknown experiments and my condolences 2 all the families

[@oskar6661]

Well...that's the stupidest thing I've heard on the internet today. Well done.

[@sylvaniathehacker]

Notification gang

[@Lauriedriver]

How does that work?

[@DreadMaximus]

I’m confused. Was the first crew able to eject or no?

[@Malz777-t9p]

No

[@necessaryevil455]

media.defense.gov/2009/Feb/13/2001453065/-1/-1/0/B52%20AIB%20Report%20Approved%20version.pdf This is the report; it will give that information. Yes, there was an attempt to eject, but only one seat left 2 seconds before impact.

[@Cuteroxxi-007]

Brother re-upload why 🙏 this video already watching ,plz new update vedio updated
