From Wikipedia : On 17 October 2001, Pakistan International Airlines flight 231, an Airbus A300, from Islamabad via Peshawar veered off the side of the runway after the right hand main landing gear collapsed as it touched down. The aircraft skidded and eventually came to rest in sand 50 meters from the runway. The aircraft sustained damage to its right wing structure and right engine, which partly broke off the wing. All 205 crew and passengers (which included high profile American political commentator and talk show host Tucker Carlson and his father Dick Carlson) evacuated safely

The part I'm sure about: everyone started freaking out. I was on a plane decades ago landing in Houston, and just as we were coming down to land the tower told the pilot the wheels weren't down, his light said they were. We went what felt like straight up, it was exhilarating and terrifying, as the pilot told everyone what was going on and to get in the crash position. Most of the passengers became instant Christians as they screamed and cried. My seatmate and I decided we weren't going to make it so we might as well make the best of it. We got to see the whole other side of Houston from the air as the pilot circled and landed flawlessly on the second attempt. But the emergency vehicles screaming down the runway towards us kept the passengers freaked out.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Yeah, I was once on a Quantas flight from Honolulu to Melbourne. It was pretty empty, so I was able to be lying down across four seats. Suddenly, the plane ✈️ hit a big pocket of turbulence, so the plane began shaking. Many passengers immediately started screaming uncontrollably. (I was laughing so hard my stomach kind of turned to jelly. I laughed because (a) it felt like being on a rollercoaster, and (b) I thought it was ridiculous for them to scream, since it helps nothing to freak out. We’re either going to crash into the ocean 🌊(doubtful), or the plane will soon stop shaking. Either way, there’s nothing we can do about it). The plane soon stopped shaking. The pilot came on the PA system to say “I have to apologize for the turbulence. We tried several different altitudes, but nothing seemed to work. We just had to fly through it. Everything is fine. Thank you for your understanding”. I just thought “Wow, these Quantas pilots are so polite. He’s actually apologizing for the weather!” 😊

Our plane is waiting for you three, we must hurry”, and then proceeded to walk us quickly from one side of the airport to the other, rushing extremely quickly.

I always respect and enjoy your analysis. My father was a pilot, learned to fly in the mid-''30's, and was a flight instructor for the Navy during WWII. A few years after the war ended, he went to work for United Air Lines at their maintenance base near San Francisco. He applied to become a pilot for them, but they found he was slightly color blind, and wouldn't hire him in that capacity. UAL had a flying club where employees could learn to fly, and he became their chief flight instructor on week ends, and at UAL, finally ended up in their engineering department. You remind me of him. He was very methodical and factual like you are when discussing anything pertaining to aviation. I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. If he were still with us today, I just know he would also enjoy your videos.

[@WavyPhoton]

If i remember correctly, joke intended, every time you recount a memory, you're actually remembering the last time you remembered the story, not the actual story itself, so the further in time you go, the more layers you add on top of the original memory. Its like an overlay, every time you remmeber a memory, you're pulling up the last time you recounted the memory, thus adding another layer of overlay. This, as you can tell, can start creating a crazy game of telaphone, and thats how you can have such a twisted version of the memory, many years later.

I had a 1996 Taurus that would intermittently fail to start--the engine just wouldn't turn over, but I could get it going by tapping on the starter. I asked a family member's coworker, a "gear-jammer chick" who owns a Corvette and does her own oil changes with low-height ramps to get more of the oil to drain, and she told me, "Yeah, on an old Taurus, your problem is a bad starter. The starters go out on those cars." So I make a service appointment and drove it to the local Ford dealer, hinting that a family friend indicated trouble with the starter, and the tech smiled and said, "We'll check this out." I get a call an hour later, and not only was it deemed to be the starter, the tech had stranded the car in the dealership parking lot "checking it out." I felt like saying, "Yeah, what does this old lady who drives a Corvette and does her own oil changes with low-height ramps know, she is just a girl", but I kept the thought to myself.

Twice so far I've walked into a GP's office and said, look I'm not here to diagnose myself, but the short version is that I have the symptoms of pneumonia. First time it was pneumonia, second time it was bronchitis. In both cases, "the symptoms of pneumonia" was a good way to sum up my observations.

[@jacquelinejacobson6789]

I saw a video documentary about a plane that survived an emergency landing on the tarmac, but a ferocious fire was ablaze in the rear of the passenger cabin. Instead of listening to the crew and evacuating immediately without possessions, the front passengers were calmly opening the overhead bins to get their stuff, blocking the rear passengers escaping. Those rear passengers burned to death!

[@JungleCruiseSkipper]

I'm sure by "front windows" he meant the cockpit windows, not specifically the front cockpit window as opposed to the side cockpit window. You yourself go on to say they have "...sliding windows on the FRONT..." immediately after that.

@JungleCruiseSkipper The front windows in the cabin are opposite the back door.

[@JungleCruiseSkipper]

​@@AntonioPeralesdelHierro, the cockpit has a window that opens and the pilot can climb out there in an emergency, this is what he's referring to, not the forward facing windshield. He calls it the front window because it's at the front of the plane as opposed to the back, not because you hate him.

[@theinqov]

I think it's an anecdote and not really an essential detail. It's highly likely that the pilots did not leave the aeroplane early. It's a careless way to tell a story, people might become scared of flying as a result, but the point was about the air host who apparently froze-up - but it's highly likely he actually said "it's not safe to disembark right now, everything's fine and under control, just be patient" - and this led to some realisation from Tucker. I would have liked to hear the ending of the story, but that's also not what THIS video is about. I like the way Kelsey breaks things down, he presents well and is very interesting, but I wouldn't take Tucker's story beyond the meaning of the anecdote.

[@randywl8925]

[@M4xPower]

The incident occurred on 17 October 2001. The 'double ought' A-300 suffered a landing gear collapse on touchdown. The wing did partially break off, but it was on the ground. The sensation of flying sideways was probably sliding around on the ground. I'd imagine if an A-300 exploded in mid air and then ended up landing safely with one wing partially detached, we would know more about the incident.

I’m pretty sure the crew member that said “everything is fine” was trying to prevent the passengers from panic and have them exit the plane without a stampede. Look what the crew members did when the A350 collided with a small plane at Haneda Airport. There’s actual footage of the crew members instructing passengers to remain seated, and they complied. All this as there was fire outside the plane and smoke filling the cabin. The crew managed to get everyone off the plane quick and safely. That definitely wouldn’t be the case if you had people like Tucker in that plane.

[@KayoEll]

When Kelsey was talking about "some cultures" who are going to save themselves first without thinking about the impact on others, my mind was wandering in a very directed manner. I can imagine the flight attendant asking everyone to remain seated so they could evacuate in an orderly fashion to make sure no one was hurt and someone sitting in the first seat walking over people to save himself. It may have also passed through my head that using the stereotypical accent that is often meant to be derogatory was on brand, as well.

Flight PK-231 from Islamabad via Peshawar veered off the side of the runway at Dubai after the right-hand main landing gear collapsed as it touched down. The aircraft skidded and eventually came to rest in sand 50 meters away from the runway. The aircraft sustained damage to its right wing structure and its no.2 engine, which partly broke off the wing. According to a press release by UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), the approach and landing of the aircraft was normal. But during the landing roll, the aircraft left the right side of the runway at slow speed and came to rest on the un-prepared surface 50 meters away from the runway facing 90 degree to the landing direction. All 193 passengers and 11 crew were evacuated safely. The 21 passengers suffering slight injuries were treated at Dubai Airport's medical center. Investigation by GCAA reveals failure of the right main landing gear as the main cause of accident.

[@leong1190]

One reason why you should probably listen to your flight attendant is that if you have to evacuate and there's panic and nobody is following instructions, people will block the aisles and exits, fighting on who gets out first and it will stop people getting out at all. There was an accident being investigated where they couldn't understand why it was not possible to evacuate the plane in the amount of time they had. They ran an experiment a couple of times and everybody was orderly and everybody got off. Then they decided to offer $$$ to the first 20 people who get out and saw a completely different result where the exits got blocked and they were not able to evacuate in time.

3,000 + hour USN P-3 aircrew here. We practiced inflight fire bailout with parachute and ditching drills, removing overwing hatch and sliding aft over 40 degree flaps. We did (per SOP) open the main cabin door at 130 knots making two low passes for a mail drop on one flight. Had several precautionary emergency landings (loose wheel door seals, etc). Actual birdstrikes. Practiced rapid descent due to simulated depressurization. Practiced inflight emergency smoke removal procedures. Inflight engine shutdown/restarts for fuel conservation. No actual emergencies in 24 years. I did see other crews cause minor damage impacting a/c with GSE. Most embarrassing situation was a tiedown chain left attached port forward on takeoff which made a big arc on the outside of the cabin. Have dealt with hot brakes on postflight. Several military grade controlled risk situations that stressed the envelope. Start to finish I never felt scared or unsafe and had high confidence in the 12 man crew. Have seen multiple accidents shortly after they occurred with total loss of aircraft but no fatalities as far as I know. Zero UFO sightings. One actual Bullpup missile launch against a moored target ship. SAR flights. Now I enjoy a desk with a very large wingspan. I'm always interested in your and similar content like Captain Joe.

The question is; what are you going to do about it ? You have our blessing & permit to use & send this letter to Senators, House Rep., Judges & Church people: The Republicans & their, supporters are great people but among them are sadly too many that are naive & deceived by Trump acting as if he is a nationalist that cares about the USA while indirectly, encourages over 190 nations to arm themselves with nuclear weapons in secrete, since the USA that disarmed Ukraine of it's nuclear arsenal in exchange of granting it's sovereignty & security, proves (if Trump gets elected) would prove that the USA can not be trusted with any pact or agreement granting any sovereignty or anything that the USA signs about anything whatsoever, since granting by words but not by deeds is not granting but deceit & hypocrisy. Trump's deeds also testifies about his hypocrisy & deceit when said he supports Jesus'way, and people, but he does NOT since Jesus never said about any murderer "he is smart" and didn't praised murderers, criminals, genocide practitioners by saying 'they are smart' , like Trump did, and said about North Korea's criminal dictator Kim J., Un, and Russia's genocide practitioner PUTIN who keeps killing babies & mothers giving birth in hospitals bombed by Putin, which is worse than killing fetus. Even now Trump shows no opposition to Putin and to the pro- dictatorship Russia, nor against Russia's fascist genocide in Ukraine. Ukraine is 10 times more democratic and more genuine Christian than is at present Russia, who's persecution of protestant Christian churches leads toward their extinction in Russia (most of them are persecuted, prosecuted and under hiding and running away from Russia); Russia who's Russian Orthodox so IMPLIED 'Christian' church leadership, in who's seat of power over the church is a notorious former KGB agent who blessed (on camera) the claimed "nuclear" missile called "Satan" blessed against the USA, (while 'the blessing' was filmed as evidence, and such is blasphemy when done by a church claiming to be Christian), and it's KGB leader who replaced most priests with former KGB middle age retired agents. Trump made clear his betrayal of the pact signed by the USA of granting Ukraine's sovereignty and security when disarmed Ukraine of it's nuclear arsenal. If the USA desire to walk back on it's agreement, or abandon that treaty, then has the obligation to arm back Ukraine with it's nuclear arsenal. We are here to testify and to grant you that D E F E C T I N G (defecting) on the agreement without arming back the Atheo-Judeo-Christian people of Ukraine with the nuclear deterrent weapons of preventing their enslavement and genocide of millions of them by Russia as was done in the past, in Russia's Siberian gulags, WILL ACTIVATE OUR GOD'S RETALIATION through his established biblical curses, AGAINST THE USA, THE SAME AND AS MUCH IF THE USA TAKES MEASURES AGAINST ISRAEL which is also the established world-wide headquarters of the Spiritual Israel of Christians, MessiYah-nic, Agnostics and Jews and even Atheists, while Muslims headquarters are in Mecca in which Christians, Jews and Atheists are NOT allowed to reside, worship or live, and the Catholics headquarters is in the tiny city Vatican, that is smaller in land than a small town or than an American village. THE BIBLICAL CURSES WILL GET ACTIVATED ALSO AGAINST EVERYONE WHO'S MIND IS SET AGAINST UKRAINE WHICH IS TO BE USED BY OUR LORD'S WILL, as an ALLY OF ISRAEL WHEN MAGOG-RUSSIA, TURKEY & IRAN with other nations will start the walk toward Armageddon against IsraEL of the Eternal ELoHim YHWH, 'EL' of IsraEL. Make your move, since the invisible little steps starts now, and the players are invisible powers to which you are only a pawn unless you are truly spiritually born again adopted child of our Lord and friend of The Divine MessiYah, able to see and understand what is revealed to you, while others have no understanding. Trump parrots Putin's propaganda to keep fear mongering with nukes his own nation, . . .like a repetitive parrot, that keeps twitting to his own people "nuke, nuke, nuke, nuke, bla bla bla bla", WW3, WW3, desperate of not being able to scare his own nation into submission & to his praised Putin - "Putin is smart". Are you ready to deliver Ukraine in Putin's hands? - Then be ready to deliver Alaska as well you hypocrite. All nations are watching. Putin made public on the Russian TV (against the USA) and through decrees that Alaska is a Russian territory (probably after hearing about the Alaskan hidden [classified] gold mountain backing the US dollar), from Alaska's huge national park). Putin and his mafia said that Alaska must be returned to Russia and that Russia won't stop until enters Berlin (back in Germany). They made no secrete since they spoke openly about on Russia's TV channels. Carlson Tucker knows of Putin and Russia's official claim and decree about Alaska ( which is no different than the decree of annexing even Ukrainian territories that Russia never got control of,) while also claiming Alaska still belongs to Russia and that Russia will take it back sooner or later. Tucker being treasonous and unpatriotic while deceitfully claiming the opposite, remains silent concerning Russia's claim about Alaska, yet still firm pro-Russia, for his own selfish gain. BEHOLD SOME VIDEOS concerning Russia about Alaska. See the document signed by Putin about Alaska as being a Russian land to be taken back to Russia. See on KZbin at minute 12 : 55 the document video TITLE: Putin Declared Alaska occupied by the U.S. | Ukraine War Update AT THE MINUTE: 12 : 55 could see document. & vid.on KZbin : US State Dept Responds To Russian President Putin’s Claim Over Alaska | Dawn News English AND on KZbin - CHINA UNCENSORED: Tucker’s Putin Interview Blows Up in His Face . AND also KZbin video at minute 10 :50 of the video titled: Day 740: Ukraïnian Map . NATO was created not to invade Russia (as Tucker justified Putin's acted paranoia or DECEIT), but to stop Russia from invading any UN recognized nations especially in Europe, and clearly it does not do the job, (at least so far did not), now when Russia is planing to invade even more neighboring countries like it did in the past other nations invaded and kept inside by force in the Russian Federation and most recently the invaded parts of Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine and more to follow for Russian invasion of Atheo-Judeo-Christian countries pro-democracy of Atheists, Jews, & Christians, to be subdued, enslaved by the Fascist Russian Federation of genocide and other evil. If you apply Carlson Tucker's logic from his speech that because of crimes and drugs and rapes in the USA and supposedly 'a weak or bad economy' supporting or starting a war is not good - then applied to the world war ww2, because was bad for the USA economy to go to war against the German Nazis, and because in the USA had then also cities infected with crimes, drugs, rapes and 'a weak or bad economy' even then during the WW2, the USA should have NOT gone to war, therefore let UK, France, the rest of Europe and Russia to be taken by Germany and Italy which were in the way to rule the oceans of the earth (especially the Atlantic) in the detriment of the USA, (if it were not for the USA to enter the war) and sink the German U boats and submarines, and prevent the Nazi to take over Europe or Euro-Asia. Yet according to Putin's Russia TV channels broadcasts in the last two years, Russia plans to do the same like Hitler, together with China (if gets victory in Ukraine), and Trump & Tucker seems to be OK with that (maybe they are undercover Nazis), while deceitfully are denying Kremlin's ambition. Trump praises Putin saying Putin is smart, "the smart Putin" who keeps killing children, babies and mothers giving birth to babies in Ukrainian hospitals bombed at the order of the murderer criminal genocidal Putin that keeps bombing civilian buildings, supermarkets, restaurants, theaters, hospitals, schools, and kindergartens with no trace of soldiers in them, situated hundred miles away from the front and from any military bases and weapons. Trump's speeches are testifying for his desire and love of dictatorship since Russia's & North Korea's dictators are praised by Trump as being "smart men". Trump's fall that could be brought against the USA, comes from Trump greed for power, & a deceitful claim of representing the Christians, and from the contamination with Tucker's twisted deceitful propaganda pro-Russia and pro-dictators, that have set Trump as an example to be followed by many other criminals in the USA and across the world for > 'a hell of a future on earth'

I saw the massive growing thunderstorm up ahead of us, I thought the pilot would make a turn to go around. They made the worst decision not to go around, as we approached, I felt one big thump, the starboard wing nearly instantly pointed straight for the ground and the nose of the craft followed. I somehow one handed grabbed my 17 month old daughter just before her head would have slammed into to port side overhead luggage compartment. Btw: my daughter and I are taking up the center seats at the rear of the passenger compartment. My daughter is puking on the passenger to my right and I'm tossing up in one of the airsick bags I was able to open in time. It was actually quite calming for me, I was at peace, I had my baby daughter held tightly in my right arm, it had been 30 days exactly since my wife died and now we were all going to be together again, this was going to be the perfect death for my daughterand I. Omg... Then the women on the flight all started screaming at the top of their lungs, "EEEEEEAAAHHHH WE'RE GOING TO DIE.... WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" Screeching screaming crying at the loudest full on death screeches,"OH GOD EEEEEEE WERE GOING TO DIE!!!! Thank god we didn't crash, we landed in Gillette about 20 minutes later, I was pissed...

he stated that he knows plenty of pilots that would dip. there is a difference on what your duty is and what your actions become in scary situations.

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

Yeah, that guy had zero sense of honor. That would not happen on a ship from say, America, or Asia. There is a duty, even if it is not a "Rule". To some people, being responsible _is_ a rule!

[@Arthur-ke9vz]

Tucker is a total badass!! People need to listen to his every word

[@sealyoness]

Running the wrong way and getting sucked into the engine would definitely be Terminally embarrassing.

[@stevenb7779]

From a former 777 and MD11 production manager, thank you! Facts matter. If the wing fell off, he would not be here to tell the story.

[@johnmeany3947]

When suddenly Tucker saw the entire wing blown off the plane when the engine exploded in a terrifying fire ball. Tucker jumped in the bathroom and shortly reappeared wearing his cape. He kicked out the window, jumped from the plane where he wrestled the massive plane. Singlehandedly, he carried the plane to a safe landing. Saving the lives of all 10,000 passangers.

[@agrofindastation]

Don't forget that Brian Williams was with him

[@johnmeany3947]

That must be confirmation that Tucker’s story is true.

[@fowvee]

17 Oktober 2001, PIA flight PK 231 - landing gear collapse on landing at Dubai International Airport. Flight was Peshawar, Pakistan, to Dubai, UAE w/205 total occupants onboard. It was a gear failure (right side) on landing and not necessarily an airline crash as one would think. The plane did glide off of the runway and stop at a sand dune that was 50 meters from the end of the runway. Aircraft was Airbus A300-B4-203, with first in-service date of 29 Juli 1983.

[@johndpieper]

Great video. I just noticed you are a captain now. Not sure when you were promoted, but great job!!

[@cyrillawless]

One thing that surprises me is that they don’t have cameras that let the pilots see what’s happening with the engines and wings. I’ve heard several stories where the passengers have told the cabin crew an engine was on fire or having trouble so they told the pilots or the pilots asking the cabin crew what they could see. Obviously the instrumentation lets them know there is a problem but visual is still best.

[@jelink22]

I agree. People by the millions have bought cheap cameras installed near their doorbells. Why can't such things be designed into strong points on the wings or fuselage?

[@alexhajnal107]

Some do IIRC. Pretty sure the A380 has at least one (top of vertical stabilizer, looking forwards) that can be displayed in the cockpit. Good for a quick check but there's a limit to how much detail one can resolve on a small screen. A proper determination really requires someone experienced (cabin or flight crew) to directly inspect things. Of course, examining under the fuselage is a different story.

[@scottkludgedorsey4805]

The DC-3 lets you open the windows and stick your head out to check.

[@bbgun061]

I agree. Almost every new car has parking sensors and backup cameras. Yet we still have airplanes hit things with the wingtips because the pilots don’t know they’re getting too close to something.

[@balesjo]

After watching a lot of air disaster videos, the lack of cameras to allow pilots a view of wings, engines, and landing gear is indeed surprising, considering the technological advances in cameras. It has the potential for pilots to make a quicker determination of problems so they can move on to a course of action.

6. “Out of pure panic I ignored the guy and opened the door and the slide went up and I jumped into the darkness” You are lucky you didn’t get sucked into the #1 engine or that the ditch wasn’t below the 1A door, causing you to break your legs on a nearly vertical slide deployment. The FA was following protocol and waiting for “Evactate, Evacuate, Evacuate” from the crew.

[@LRRPFco52]

During Desert Shield, some 82nd soldiers arrived by C-5B heavy lift to Saudi Arabia, and had an emergency evac after landing where the inflatable slides were deployed from the doors in passenger configuration. Someone yelled, "She's gonna BLOW!!!!!" Before the slide fully inflated, one of the paratroopers jumped out onto the slide, which was in an L-shape, so he was basically falling straight down until the slide inflated, and launched him like a cannon ball out over the tarmac. Upon impacting the hard surface, he broke at least one of his legs and was badly injured. It's best to wait for the clearance to jump.

[@reacting_to_stuff_]

If I was in a plane crush I rather be drunk 😅

[@googleuser6635]

I was on a wide-body plane that landed hard in Frankfurt, then continued on to Singapore, where one of the landing gear failed on landing. The wing did touch, and the plane did rotate. We were deplaned on the tarmac, but not with the chutes. They had a mobile ladder. The fire trucks came, but there was no fire. I do not recall any engine ir wing damage. I'm sure tgere was some, but I didn't see it. We did not crash. We hit nothing. The gear on one side simply collapsed. Maybe it had not locked into place fully. When the plane landed, we were told tgat we could deplane in an orderly fashion, or we could debrief with the police. Oh, after the plane came to a stop, the pilot came on. He said, "Nailed it! Everyone awake? Thank you for flying Singapore Airlines. We hope this departure from the usual made your day and made your flight memorable." Some people laughed. The landing in Frankfurt was VERY hard. The one in Singapore was like an afterthought.

[@Michael_Biggs_]

I found an article that included an email from Tucker's dad from hours after the incident. Landing gear failed to properly deploy. It was 2am over water. The out of control feeling in the air was from loud noises but otherwise normal turns during approach. On landing gear was turned and then collapsed. The collaspe caused structural failures so I am guessing it was a hard landing also. Right side was blocked by fire. Middle left side exit unable to open because of structural damage. A large crack was near the door Tucker, his dad, a CIA person, and a CNN person went out.

I came close to being in a plane crash once during one of my classes. I happened to be in the left seat of a wingless Cessna 152 to test the nose wheel steering and the brakes, and the rest of the class was pushing the plane across the hangar. During the test, I looked up and saw the wall coming up, so I tried slamming the brakes, which did nothing since the brakes didn't work. At that point, I was at the mercy of the class hoping they realized what was about to happen. They eventually got the plane stopped, but by the time it was stopped, it was about an inch away from the hangar wall.

3. “The plane started dropping and the wing appeared to detach, the right wing, and the plane is like struggling for altitude.” All indications from eyewitness accounts and basic accident report states that the approach was normal but that they got a gear warning light at 200’ and elected to continue the approach/landing. Upon touchdown, the right main gear collapsed and the aircraft skidded off the runway to the right. The plane may have “dropped” in the sense that the gear collapsed, but not in the sense that Tucker is implying “struggling for altitude”. The right wing did not detach. Tucker was also seated in the first row. Remind me how one could see the wing appear to do anything, from the front row. You can’t see any part of the wing from 1A!

I remember one time where I fell asleep during a flight home after a long trip and woke up to a loud bang. I thought we hit something, so I said “OMG, what did we hit?!?” Then I realized we were rolling down the runway after what apparently was a pretty hard landing. I was still in uniform, so everyone around me got a good chuckle out of it.
