I lived on Dwight Street back then, about 1,000 feet east of PSA 182's impact spot. It was a scaldingly hot day, around 90-95F (which is not unheard of for late September in California). My mom initially thought a tanker had overturned and exploded on the 805 freeway just next to us.

Reminds me of the tragedy of Aeromexico flight 498 and that private plane who collided over Cerritos, CA. One poor woman on the ground, lost almost her entire family, except for one son. I believe she had three children and a husband. And, in an instant, she wound up with just herself and one son. Horrible. Also, on board, Aeromexico, a DR and his two boys receded. They had been on a fishing trip off the Mexican coast and caught a big fish that they were so proud of and planter hanging in the kitchen of their home in Los Angeles. They never made it. May the victims of that crash and this one rest in peace. That fighter jet should have been scrapped.

[@crashburn3292]

In 1991 I lived with a family at 183rd and Carmenita Ave in Cerritos and the father eventually told me about the crash. It was a Sunday around mid-morning, he and his wife heard the engines screaming in reverse and then the impact that shook their house. The father jumped over his backyard wall onto Carmenita and into a nightmare. He saw mostly burgundy seats/interior, red-orange exterior and people.

Everyone here in San Diego still remembers this crash VERY well. PSA Airlines didn't last long after this. There had been another PSA incident of a pilot who intentionally crashed their PSA flight on its way from LAX to SFO.

[@martindavidson9032]

I actually witnessed this one as an 8-year old. I was in a park with friends on a clear day and heard the crash. I initially thought it was thunder until a person I was with looked up and pointed. I saw two burning aircraft circling slowly towards the ground. They were making wide circles and didn't reach the ground for several minutes. I never did see a parachute, since I was watching the planes. Shortly afterwards, hundreds of people were on the street watching. The scary part was no one knew where the planes would actually hit the ground. Being a suburb of LA, this could have been much worse of course. Thankfully, both planes ended up crashing about a mile north of us behind the San Gabriel mountains, followed by two plumes of smoke. They used the park I was in as a staging area over the next few weeks, bringing the debris back and shipping it away in trucks. Not that there was anything humorous about the crash, but I remember when the pilot left the hospital, he was insistent the the other plane hit him and not the other way around, much with the same pettiness as a backing accident in a parking lot. Seemed childish, even to me.

I do not know anything about airplanes, but why would you give the guy in the back seat the ability to not only fly the plane, but have primary control over the pilot? What the heck is a tech going to do with a fighter jet? He is not even a pilot

The pilot would never have time to use it.(I worked on them). Even the Airforce eventually went away from the dual stick and put a WSO (weapon system office) in the back to reduce the pilots load. With newer F18 Radars (yes I worked on those too) they improved to the point the pilot could both fly and use the radar.

I was heading south from college 30 miles north of San Diego that day, and saw that ugly black column of smoke. It was an incredibly clear day... When you're flying over cities, anything you're looking for below the horizon has a background of "visual clutter" (buildings, cars, trees, etc), making it hard to see. Worse, it appears that the relative position of the small plane, as seen from the airliner was static, not moving up, down, or sideways, but straight at them. Because of that, and because of all the white buildings below, a small white plane would appear to the crew to be motionless, just another white object on the ground,, until it was too late.

What terrible tragedies. I was too young to recall the Hughes Air West mishap but by 1978 was in 9th grade, and at Christian High School in El Cajon that day - hot as a pistol, late September, and observered a huge black plume of smoke in San Diego, about 20 miles west. I knew a disaster had occurred & begged our World History teacher to switch on the TV to see what happened. Instantly the whole class was confronted with raw images of the worst air crash on US soil happening to our very own San Diego. Needless to say, we watched on horror & our teacher Greg Webster led prayers for all the victims, some of whom would undoubtedly have family or friend connections to us. The impact zone near Nile & Boundary Streets / Adams Ave was just 4 blocks from our home. The suddenness of death & disaster was made real to my impressionable mind that day. Many funerals & crazy backstories of victims & near misses dominated San Diego for the ensuing year. God used this tragedy mightily - I had a Spiritual renewal of my faith in Christ then, and have held fast to Jesus as LORD since. We never ever can presume upon tomorrow. We are NOT in control - God Alone is - and we must walk by Faith, not by mere sight. RIP to all these victims - of both the PSA & Air West tragedies, in Jesus mighty name !

I later worked with a woman who was a San Diego-based PSA flight attendant (OK, they were still stewardesses then) at the time. They lost a lot of people on that flight, and she knew them all. She told me it was really a rough time for the airline. Oddly, just 8 months after that one, my family was inbound to Chicago's O'Hare on an AA DC-10 on 5/25/79 when AA 191 went down. We saw the smoke from the air, and drove past the still-smoldering wreck on our way out of the airport. It would have been our return flight a week later.

[@tpolerex7282]

The path of airlines going to Lindbergh Field/San Diego making the route from the north or west, via the coast, is now a few miles north coming in and the turnaround point about 10 miles East of its location at the time of the crash, creating a much longer line for aircraft to properly slot in place making it much less likely for this type of accident to happen again fortunately.

[@pneulancer]

I'm surprised they let the F-4 even take off after having radar, transponder and 02 issues that weren't fixed. I worked avionics in the USAF (B shop) and I assume back then ECS would've worked the oxygen issue while A shopped C shop would've done the radar and transponder. Send an MRT if they don't have the personnel at the TDY location. Flying VFR from Fallon to El Toro in a fighter seems a little wacky to me. Forget mid-air collision; just flying VFR into IMC usually equals CFIT!!

I like the way you say that, which is interesting. Drama and music induces trance, which is characterized by our rate of breathing. Any affirmation once taken in while in a state of trance is considered a truism by the mind. Our spirits then reorganizes the shaping forces of nature to make what we see into a reality. Have you ever heard the term "life imitating art"? It is not that life imitates art, it is that we watch art, fall into a deep state of trance, at which point our spirits then reorganize the shaping forces of nature to make what we meditated upon, happen. It happens all the time. First a movie comes out and then the same event occurs. The hieroglyph that represents the part of our spirit, which is responsible for this phenomenon, in ancient Khemit (Egypt), was called wachet. Its symbol is an eye with an emanation extending from the inner part of the eye down to the bottom. "Incidentally", this symbol was used as the Time Warner logo that adorned all of their trucks along with the phrase, "Time Warner, WATCH IT your way". When I mentioned this over the telephone to a friend, it was suddenly removed from all of the vehicles. Coincidence, perhaps. There are no coincidences.

This was 1971 at the end of the Vietnam War - it was a different time with a different mentality - many planes flew broken - parts for stateside planes were not always available and the F4 Phantoms were mid-generation aircraft with limited avionics capabilities compared to today’s military planes. Pilots (military and commercial) were used to flying using visual separation at this time. This was extremely sad and led to changes that decrease the chances of this happening again.

If you check history you will find a lot more airline/general aviation midairs. The TCA was first introduced on June 25, 1970. Prior to the TCA the airport traffic area only extended 5 statute around the airport and only below two thousand feet. Few if any light airplanes had transponders. I recall flying SW from HPN, flying over the top of LGA and JFK at 2500’ talking to both towers with the single radio the airplane had with no requirement to call them. I flew into LGA as a student pilot at age 16 because I was turning 17 the next day and taking my Private check ride in New Jersey the next morning and my New York Junior Driver license was not valid in Nassau County or New York City so I could not drive to HPN to get the Cessna 150 I was going to use. When I was finishing tying down the airplane at the Marine Air Terminal a station wagon from Butler the FBO arrived. The driver asked where is the pilot. I said I am. He just mumbled from that point on. I took the bus into Jackson Heights for the night. I also see that prior to Dec. 16, 1965 there was no requirement to have a type rating to fly a heavy airplane unless it was passengers or freight for hire. It was not until March 31, 1966 that it became a requirement to have a Type Rating in the Lear 23 which was under 12,500 pounds. Altitude Alert, TCAS, GPS, INS, Strobe Lights, changes in rules. I was told when the airlines first had the jets they would climb past 400’, retract the flaps, and accelerate to 300 Kts+.

Air traffic controllers are not allowed to assume. They are supposed to control, and should have done so. Nothing in the transcript indicates that the PSA B727 crew had positively sighted and could remain clear of the (French registered?) Cessna. Radar separation could have and should have been provided. I have 25 years experience as a terminal area controller in Sydney, and you do not let the crew of a jet who are very busy during final approach separate themselves from such a small target. Phraseology on the parts of both pilots and ATC was lax and non-standard, which does not help.

As strong and tough as commercial airlines are built, it sometimes seems astounding as to the ease of the their destruction.

[@drn13355]

Flying is not inherently dangerous, but it is very unforgiving.

[@JustMe-fo4ev]

yeah they go fast kid that'll happen

[@nattygsbord]

High speeds makes collisions deadly. And the lack of redundancy and back up systems when a vertical stabilizer gets lost also makes planes so vulnerable and useless when just a tiny thing goes wrong.

[@Topeverything-mm9yp]

Can’t imagine the thoughts of pilots when they know they are going to die.

[@trainmanbob]

Probably so short a time that it really doesn't allow time for emotion or thought.

[@johnw8102]

​@@trainmanbob Except for the Alaska Airlines 261 that nosedived twice before being inverted. There was plenty of time for emotion and thought on that one

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Love this channel, hate the 🤡 who comments that they were somehow involved in some way in almost every incident. Is there no way to block this person?

[@LucDesaulniers1]

Oh, Linberg Airfield, Cessna, Microsoft Flight Simulator personal experience, many many times

[@johnalexander7490]

Hmmm kind of an abrupt ending. But good video. You keep chuggin' them out!

[@GaryInSoCal]

Walz called HIMSELF a Knucklehead... look up definition... 'a stupid, bumbling, confused person'... I rest my case!

[@williamtimothy5302]

Great video as always!! FYI - typo (“nstruction”) at 9:12

[@paulwilden1582]

Hundreds of people seen PSA182 go down, the fear inside for those 18 or so seconds is unimaginable.

[@RonLPitts]

Huge Air Crash had a flight take off at 6:02 to SLC that would make 3 other stops THEN go to Seattle? WTF?

[@zzzzxxxxxz6017]

This channel constantly reminds me why I don’t fly

[@MrCboosa]

Well, what you see on this channel are accidents that happened many years ago and helped implement numerous safety measures to prevent them from occurring again. I don't want to make assumptions, but many of these accidents occurred in countries that may have been known to bypass certain maintenance and crew training standards. Therefore, if you live in a more developed country, the probability of being involved in a flight accident is extremely low-when I say extremely low, I mean it's exceptionally unlikely.

[@dannyadams2211]

Why would you roll the aircraft instead of pushing the stick down hard? I don't get it.

[@Benkorn-b5m]

Great video overall! I always look forward and enjoy your content. Though I do think you could have mentioned why PSA 182 did see the Cessna. The reason was because of design of 727. I think this would have been good to mention. You could’ve told us why.

[@davidpowell3347]

The Cessna was in the blind spot of the 727. Until too late. Also sounds like PSA tried to tell ATC that they couldn't see the Cessna. But misunderstood or something. Lines of sight and scary blind spots,especially when high wing and low wing aircraft mingle. Military plane should have been grounded until certain repairs were complete.

[@Jprager]

That Marine aircraft should never have been allowed off the ground, the fact that many things were wrong with it and they still allowed them to fly👎 Completely avoidable accident

[@1NightInParisOfficial]

Wheres narrator?? You expect us to read hundreds of subtitles for 16 mins... Please use an AI for narrating or something... Will improve ur videos by a ton

[@mohammadzohorul8887]

Am I the only one who thinks it is a reupload.

[@JD-ib9zd]

Nope

[@HilltopperTA]

Looking at a thumbnail of the video I thought the F4 was a space shuttle... and was very confused why I never heard of a space shuttle colliding with another plane!

[@giovanni752001]

Can you make a video about the disaster of Piacenza, Italy?

[@fun-travel-eat-cook5171]

atc error

[@deezee6732]

Description of San Diego crash is wrong. It was a 727 not a DC-9

[@eddiehimself]

Kind of funny that the person whose job it was to control the weapons systems in that F4 Phantom had a last name which means "shoot" in German.

[@WatchDanReviews]

That F4 was woefully jacked up. What a shame…not airworthy in the slightest.

[@ImionsaeXwb77]

Did they not have Radar for the PSA and Cessna back then... totally ATC fault, probably also didn't have Class B airspace too cause that Cessna was asking for it.....

[@Strange-Songs]

8:44 What is that body of water?

[@TOTMGreenish-Top-Of-The-Morrin]

well this is too much I'm just sitting here scrolling through KZbin listening to old time radio shows they are playing a show about the Ontario crash and this comes up

[@jimdavis1939]

Small problem with your graphics of the ramp at Mountain Home. You show twin-tailed fighters that look like F15s, this accident happened in June of 1971, 1st flight of the F15 was July 27, 1972, they entered service in 1976, no way they were on the ramp at Mountain Home in 1971.

[@recPokerFish]

so the cessna takes off from a small airport and heads over to Lindberg with jet traffic to practice ILS approaches? wth?

[@EuropeanRailfanAlt]

RIP to everyone. Would be cool if you did Itavia 870 or the Turin Frecce Tricolori accident

[@kylebieth3678]

That is horrible..."well have emergency crews standing by..nah, this it baby" if i was ATC id have thrown up

[@cptainbubbles]

I'm no expert so forgive my statement/question. Student is practicing IFR but no flight plan because the flight is to be conducted under VFR?

[@justanotherguy469]

None of this had to happen. Tragedies such as this one lead one to question if this was preordained. They tested fate and it obliged with an answer. To think that with all the space up there, these 2 planes had to collide with each other. The NTSB placing blame on the crew is reprehensible. The Phantom should never have been allowed to leave the ground with so many failures in its system.

[@notvalidcharacters]

13:20 I hear Jane Barbie.
