In the 1990s a fatal mechanical fault was lurking within the tail of the world's most popular passenger plane. The Boeing 737 suffered two fatal accidents as the result of a design flaw that had been kept hidden for so long. What was it? Why wasn't it fixed? This episode of Disaster Breakdown takes a look into the accidents of United Airlines Flight 585 and USAir Flight 427 and the background of the investigation.

I’m a flight attendant, my first week at a regional airline I was working on an airplane that had a yaw damper issue resulting in an uncommanded yaw. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever been through to this day. I am so grateful for my pilots on that day.

Kathy You were lucky In my early days with TWA and B707s the Series Yaw Damper was installed. This was after the AA Jamaica Bay incident caused by a run away Parallel Yaw Damper actuator. My aircraft in question had been flying a month or so since modification. It started having intermittent yaw damp write ups. These were signed off at JFK, STL and LAX. I signed it off once. Inbound LAX the aircraft had a sudden rudder kick. One of the aft FA;s was slammed side ways and broke three ribs. The aircraft log was Red Circled ( cannot fly till proven airworthy). After a long night of repeating wiring checks and shaking wires we found it. One wire at the at the equipment rack would open when we shook it. The wire was not properly stripped when it was crimped.

@jayreiter268 Жыл бұрын
Actually the AA Jamaica Bay incident was similar to this but at takeoff. The electric actuator had a fault that caused it to go full over. The pilot engaged the AP at takeoff, the rudder went full over and the aircraft impacted the water. I heard some hanger pilot discussing how to handle a hard over rudder. When you read the report after brake release the aircraft impacted about 55 seconds later. It did not reach 150 feet. After that the AP was not to be engaged below 400 feet on takeoff.

I guess Nietzsche and Dostojewski would say no, but they didn't know psychotherapy and the information-age. I'm optimistic, though I'll be probably gone for 10thousands of years before that happens.

Yep. Look at Commodore computers of the 80s/early 90s. Their technology was better than Apple and PC with their Amiga. They owned and manufactured the 6502 CPUs used in Apple II, C=64, Atari and dozens of other computers. The engineers at Commodore did amazing work with so little budget. CEO & Management mishandled everything, pocked money, and wasted their talent so they can make money on the losses via taxes. Kind of like how Discovery+ gutted HBO & HBOmax, and now with "max" they are confused as to why everyone hates them, content creators and ex-subscribers. They could have easily over-taken Apple and possibly the PC market if they had talent in management. A $2000 Amiga ran circles around $3000 clones and $5000 IBM PCs in the 1980s. What did they do, pushed a $700 "game computer" and hamstrung their business Version with stupidity. When it came to Steve Jobs, he knew to keep his engineers happy and listened to them as well as direct them to "make this work.".

The transcripts for the cockpit recording of United 585, leading up to the accident, really highlight how incredibly good both the Captain and First Officer were. These two pilots knew each other well, but they maintained impeccable professionalism throughout the flight. The moments leading up to the crash show how they had basically no time to react. The captain makes a couple of alarmed exclamations, the first officer screams in terror and then, thats it, it's over, almost as quickly as the problem started. Truly chilling and horrifying that even two great pilots could not save their plane because of this catastrophic fault.

Boeing knew this was a problem in October 1992 when they were discussing in that memo what to do about it and how expensive each option was, then 2 months later releasing their statement that the UA585 crash was due to weather, not the PCU. Maybe they hadn't made the temperature connection yet in 1992, but they knew their PCU's had dangerous problems, and they did nothing but hide it (and their research concerning it) from the NTSB. They didn't help the NTSB by conducting secret research into the problem and concealing it from the NTSB during an open investigation into the crash of one of their planes. That was inexcusable.

It's not that Boeing learned nothing, it's that the USA heavily favours and protects Boeing. If these issues (these 3 planes, the 737MAX scandal + the knowledge that the companies KNEW about it and did nothing) had happened to any other airline the US would've demanded their entire fleets be grounded immediately, but because it was Boeing little-to-nothing was done. And if other countries attempt to ground them the US will hit them massive economic punishment.

I was stationed at Ft. Carson, CO. in March of 1991, and it is about 5 miles from Widefield Park. I remember driving over there and seeing the smoking remains of UAL 585 in the park, only hours after impact. It was in the middle of the park, so I couldn't see any remnants of the aircraft, but could still see the smoke from the impact crater. I parked on the street and viewed it from between two houses, and remember that there was yellow police tape running the length of the block of homes in their backyards, as these homes backed up to Widefiled Park. There was much talk at the time that the pilots deliberately put the plane down in the middle of this park, which was surrounded by homes on all sides, but after watching this video it is clear to me now that it was pure luck that no one was killed on the ground.

I remember Mayday covered this. While their show is an hour as well, by the time you subtract ad space and such they only had 40-ish minutes to cram this into. You've definitely added more context to this story. I'm pretty sure Mayday did showcase the 3 crashes, investigators troubles trying to find out what was wrong, the cold shock hard over and reversal eventually being found and showcasing Boeing's fix for it. But I don't remember Maybe going into Boeing already knowing what was wrong and trying to cover it up. That part of the story sounded new to me.

This story effects me personally. My parents have openly admitted in recent years that they regularly flew on the Boeing B737 family during the six year period that the rudder valve was malfunctioning. Right now as I'm typing this comment, ice cold chills are souring their way up my spine as I dread to imagine for a moment the possibility of what if that failure happened while one of my parents were on the plane. I could very well not be here if that happened. Luckily though, since 1996, the valves have not malfunctioned and it appears that the B737 is flying towards a much brighter and safer future... although the story of the Boeing B737 MAX family is, to use your own words, best saved for another day.

my dad was a pilot on the 737 at that time, and I'm very glad nothing bad ever happened to him, we also took flights to family vacations a lot and the 737 was really widespread. I heard of that rudder issue much later and shuddered a bit. on the other hand, I don't know how many thousand 737s flew around the world back then, most of them multiple times a day, and just 2 crashed. Of course every crash is one too many, but I bet we all did more dangerous things in our lives than flying on a 737. I wouldn't feel too special we made it 😏

Cost-cutting and greed were what happened with the 737 MAX. Boeing was in the midst of creating an actual clean sheet design (NMA/"797"), but once American Airlines placed 100+ orders for a "new-engined 737" (at the same time they ordered hundreds more Airbus neos) in 2010, they basically canceled the NMA and went all-in on putting lipstick on a pig (creating a 50-year old design with new engines and severely compromised flight dynamics). They even canceled modernizing the vastly superior 757 for that 50-year old plane!!! 😭

Wow. This all occurred before the infamous “reverse takeover” of McDonnell Douglas that many consider the downfall of Boeing. I applaud you; I’ve seen and read numerous accounts of the rudder hardcover incidents, and don’t recall ever seeing this evidence that Boeing was almost immediately aware of the potential cause yet kept it close to the vest. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? I live in the Springs and learned to fly on the Front Range. It’s always (ALWAYS) bumpy. I was utterly terrified on my solo XC. So the mountain-rotor hypothesis would have presented a very plausible get-out-of-jail card for Boeing. And they went with it, just like they went with “stupid third world pilots” a couple decades later.

There was also another 747 that had struck it's back end on the runway (i think due to a poor landing), and the same plane lost the tail end a few years later. Sadly, there were more passengers (like 400+), A Toyota, with its limited passenger capacity will be recalled for a seemingly minor issue, but a whole airline, and manufacturers take chances with hundreds of lives both on and off the sky. Plus, unnecessary PTSD for the recovery team!! They should be jailing the top fishes for such crimes, the same way they jail incompetent pilots and engineers! This thing would have been corrected the moment the first plane landed. I'm sure they just said, "What are the odds of a malfunction ...?" End of story

The co-pilot pushed the left pedal to return the rudder to the center position. The pedals did not respond and seemed to be jammed. The pilots disengaged the yaw damper and activated a standby rudder system that utilizes a backup hydraulic valve; the rudder pedals then moved back to center. The cause remains Undetermined.

Well done! I am very familiar with both the crash in Colorado Springs And Pittsburgh. This was a very thorough unpacking of these incidents.

I could sense your frustration at the investigation. Such a small part causing so much damage 😢 Thanks for letting Plainly help explain 👍 I've been a fan of his for at least 5 years ❤

Outstanding work. Way better than any episode of _Mayday_ The amount of research you put into this really shines through.

Excellent reporting! I was a frequent airline flyer in those years, and I followed the reporting of these incidents in the newspapers at the time. It is wonderful, to me, to see someone put all the pieces together, now all of the facts are known. Well done!

Lovely greetings from Germany. You're making a great job, and I like your calm, respectful voice. For my opinion, you're the best. Big, fat thumbs up 👍👍👍 Ups, just seen, it's the voice of "plainly difficult".. I'm a member of this Chanel too.

I did know this one straight away because it was something so easy to check and find but because of simple lack of maintenance and regular maintenance checks went a bit too long A part within a part for redundancy was simply faulty or the jackscrew not lubricated . That PSU part was the size and diameter of a pencil and you have the piece in the middle of that . The reason they missed it was because of company performance. Boeing is also a major military contractor and that goes back years . This is why the public were not given straight disclosure.

It was not lack of maintenance it was a design problem.

you have quickly become one of my favorite youtubers. while i spent over a year just watching your videos here and there, your new approaches to telling these stories have really made me keep coming back for more. amazing work as always and keep it up!! so many flights land successfully every day and people use that to calm themselves, but that means we might end up forgetting just how tragic airplane disasters and crashes can be. how incredibly lucky eastwind 517 was to land with only one injury!!!

alright so... ive become a fan of this channel. the production just keeps going up and up and up. like seriously your editing skills are off the charts compared to mine... I dont do all this fancy pants animation stuff :P yes I know... some of it is FS2020. Im talking about the other bits. keep calm and content on lady. btw, the new long format is just... phenomenal I do have a local story to me of a heli crash that may be interesting... not sure how to send you those pieces of info.
