All my video content is FREE, but, as I hope you can appreciate for yourself, 'a huge' amount of time & effort goes into their production. So, if you've enjoyed what I've done & would like to recognise all that hard work by buying me a coffee no matter what size, I'd be delighted !! … www.buymeacoffee.com/callingoutW Might also convince my wife that it's a good idea to keep doing this stuff 😂

Great job - I remember this accident, and was living in SLC at the time! A real tragedy!

One tip, maybe lower the music volume a bit as it's hard to hear you over it.

Agreed. Hard to believe there isn't a lot more subs. This channel goes way further in depth than any channel or even documentary.

My initial comment is the video included a whoop,whoop alert. That could have happened if the accident happened in 1975 not 1965. This accident happened early in the B727 introduction. United had two fatal accidents, American had one and I think there was a fourth. A huge contribution to this accident was the Flap 40 landing. That selection was blocked off at most airlines eventually. A brick flys better than a 727 at Flap 40 and Idle thrust.

Thank you so much for covering this incident. I began as a F/A for United in 1969 and in training blown up photos of this crash were mounted all around our main training room. Photos of the remaining crew as well as colored photos of inside and outside of flight 227. It was terrible. 🥲 This evacuation was incredible by these three flight attendants! So much respect We all learned from every action they took during and after the crash. Serving passengers part of the job but passenger safety is absolutely the number one priority..always! I retired after 33 years.

Many thanks for the kind words Paula. 227 was one of my earliest videos & although a little rough around the edges as a result, I hope I managed to do the crew & passengers justice. Regrettably, this is an accident which history has largely forgotten, despite the fact that it was responsible for a lot of cultural changes which we take for granted today ……literally every time we step on board a modern jetliner. Appreciate the unique insight into UAL at the time. Sad 😔

I remember this accident. I read about it in the papers the next day and the following days. It was soon swept away by time and as far as I know, it isn't talked about much if ever. It's too bad about the people who died. I'm sure they're still remembered by their families and friends. I actually worked at that airport in 1971 as part of the ground crew. I remember there was at least 1 old hand who took part in the recovery efforts 6 years previous. Of course we wanted to hear all about it and he was willing to tell but his tale has never left me since I heard it. It was ghastly and I wish we'd never asked. But so far, it's the only major accident at that airport and I hope luck holds out. I'm glad I watched your video to bring the events back to mind with many more details.

Your videos are extremely detailed and well researched, and I like the fact you choose some of the lesser known incidents which still have contributed to the overall aviation safety that we enjoy today. If I may offer some constructive criticism, it is sometimes hard to hear your voice over the background music.

I concur, absolutely. A lack of background music would help but he is so softly spoken that mic compression might benefit his production, greatly.

Just a minor comment: The Boeing 720 was not a predecessor to the 707; it was a lighter-weight derivative, largely aimed at the US domestic market, though there were a number of overseas buyers as well (Aer Lingus being one). Only 150 or so were built, and the 727 effectively supplanted it in the Boeing product line-up.

Stellar information. I'll continue to comment this for the algorithm!

Given the significant influence this accident had on so many areas of aircraft development, it's amazing that UAL 227 it isn't better known. Could say the same of this channel, judging by the stats, but please don't give up making your outstanding vids. Word will get round eventually, despite the vagaries of the algorithm. I'd have subbed 8 o'clock, Day One, as aviation is a primary interest, but YT has only just added your channel to my feed.
