As someone in the military, the First Officer resigning himself to just being a passive bystander and not actually growing a pair to stand up to his superior is what caused this. Sometimes your superiors are out of touch asshats who have no idea what they're talking about, and if they're allowed to follow through with their plan, it'll inevitably lead to very bad consequences for his or her team. It's up to the subordinates to think critically, recognize the situation, grow a pair, speak up, and call out their superior to prevent avoidable tragedies and unnecessary complications. This whole culture thing in Korea and Korean military is utter nonsense.

Former Korean Air driver here. Following the suit of many accidents involving FO feeling too much of power distance between him/herself with the CA, their flight ops manual specifically states that the pilot monitoring (in reality they meant FO not flying) can forcibly take over the flight controls from the CA after pointing out an unstable factor twice. It is an incredibly rare and almost unthinkable clause you could imagine finding it in the crew manual allowing a pilot to actively fight over the controls in-flight (considering manuals from well-trained CRM countries like the United States) but their history of crashing perfectly operational jets over CRM/Communication breakdown caused them to come up with such first-aid bandage over their historical, systemic problem. Korean's FOs had this old joke telling other FO colleagues that when the CA tries to pull "I got it" crap over an unstabilized approach, we would sneak upon to their throttle quadrant and force the TOGA power on them. It was all shits and gigles on the surface back then but thinking about it with a historical perspective, it still sends a chill down the spine realizing the clash between the western CRM concept and historical Asian hierarchy is still on-going to this date.

i love the new logo/channel intro, its seemless and slick. very noice

[@TheScholar1]

It's bland, how can you like it?

[@LucaEnzo]

@@TheScholar1its ok, subtlety is lost on many people

[@TheScholar1]

@LucaEnzo the original one had a darker feel to it. Different tastes I guess and I respect you for standing by it!

[@Americarunsonduncan]

Videos keep getting better ☺️. You keep the storyline interesting. I appreciate that you don’t dumb it down too much, but also make it easy to follow. Perfect videos when I’m at the gym on the stair stepper.

[@samuelconnolly347]

Haven't watched the video yet, but I know it's going to be another corker. Wondering if you'd consider doing a video on Air New Zealand flight 901 (the Mount Erebus disaster)? I think that could be a really interesting one.

[@seasoda3319]

Man, im absolutely loving your channel! You really get my heart pumping 😮. I look forward to the stories with survivors!

[@HD_555]

0:48 this bloop sound effect was technologically speaking immersive how did you compose that??

[@The-Cat]

By Recording the birth of a Pokémon

[@HD_555]

​@@The-Cat ok then. Tnx

[@ChrisOchieng]

Wow, I like how you covered this incident, taking into account what happened before the flight, including the previous flight and the cause of the incorrect ADI reading. Most channels only cover the Flight 8509

[@toastercatx]

New Green Dot drop! 😁

[@nathanpeterson1783]

Amazing story telling. I really got chills several times. You've earned my subscription sir!

[@Lordoftheflamesissketchy]

Seriously well done as always. 👍

[@GreenDotAviation]

Thank you 😀

[@captsamirj.glenn-roundtree2320]

I know this flight was cargo, but these videos remind me just how much trust we put into the men and women in the cockpit. Wishing everyone who flies safe travels, and traveling mercies.

[@caroldawson5384]

Absolutely love these informative videos that are extremely well done. 👍

[@JohnK2004]

Always excited when Green Dot uploads I get so immersed in the stories

[@ghall05]

One thing that seems to be so common in these accidents is that the pilots seems to use as few words as possible to communicate. Why not say "CAPTAIN! YOU ARE BANKED 40 DEGREES TO THE LEFT!!!" instead of just "oy, bank". That makes absolutely no sense to me. Just freaking use WORDS and no one would have died. I am completely baffled.

[@bluedistortions]

I think we also need to ask why the captain was banked 80 degrees and still hadn't noticed he wasn't level. That means he was literally on his side, being held in his seat with his harness.. Passengers were dangling from the ceiling. Smart phones would have been falling like rain on those at the bottom. "Oy, bank," indeed. This captain wasn't just rude and stubborn, he was like a vegetable.

[@BenCarpendale]

@@bluedistortions It was a cargo flight before smart phones were what they are today, but the rest of what you say is true.

[@bluedistortions]

@@BenCarpendale sorry, PDAs in 1999. Jornada was a wonderful company, way better than apple, and I think they released their first smart phone that year. But anyways, technically true, thanks for the correction.

[@NofewFudtefcity]

Gimme the old intro back! D: The dramatic piano was the best thing ever! Where specifically do we buy the track for ourselves?

[@coolfreshbody]

Pls bring back the old intro sound, it was way more iconic than the new one. Nevertheless, a great video as always👍

[@lowlowseesee]

nah, time to move forward lol

[@KaRe-m2t]

I'm newly introduced to your channel, I binged watched almost all videos The quality of your videos is outstanding. Keep going!

[@reminderIknows]

i can't stop hearing the f word 😭😭 12:57

[@jonmortermusic]

I've been waiting for this excellent channel to cover this accident. I'm in Essex so was well aware of the situation on the very evening that it happened. I've been to the crash site since and there are still the odd scattered piece of Sony electronics, memory chips, and other electronics fragments that surface amongst the undergrowth in Hatfield Forest

[@krob2327]

Your government are withholding the truth of this as it’s much darker than it appears. Your county is under attack in many ways.

[@kikastra]

How could the clue that the ADI worked fine when in the alternate mode, not be a clue to the technician that the ADI wasn't faulty?

[@walkingman9171]

Just like auto mechanics, many of them are not very sharp.

[@Headcased1111]

I love this channel. I also love mentour pilots channel more because it also allows me to use my phone with the video active. Without having a premium subscription

[@gabrielvitalo]

Was there no "bank angle" warnig back then or it didn't work because it took data from the captain's ADI?

[@ROKE_89]

What a lovely captain and what a beautifull working envoirment he created :)

[@kevinearle8955]

I'm not an expert but won't an experience pilot have a basic understanding of the orientation of a plane without instruments especially when you just took off. How much ground clearance he thought he had? How wings could be level when turning? Geez this is so crazy! I'm speechless. Unnecessary deaths. Almost felt like suicide to me.

[@saczikom]

Could you make a video about the Smolensk Air Disaster? I'd love to see this topic covered.

RIP Park Duk-kyu (1942-1999) Yoon Ki-sik (1966-1999) Park Hoon-kyu (1961-1999) and Kim Il-suk (1954-1999)

[@fractalxwee]

If you haven't done so already, can you do the 1982 Pan Am Flight 759 crash right after taking off from New Orleans International Airport? It was grounded by a microburst and destroyed multiple houses in Kenner, Louisiana (the suburb that the airport is in). A man I know wasn't home at the time, but he lost his wife when the plane hit their house, and his daughter sustained severe burns. He is a regular at the coffee shop I used to work at, and I would love to learn more about this bit of local history.

[@iiABoSaLe7]

"Oy, bank..." - The coldest reaction ever.

[@plan-B-]

Thank you so much Green Dot for another great learning episode. Pleez put back original intro...

[@hcdenton]

I wonder if there's more to this story than meets the eye? It's one thing for the captain to act to a, shall we say, less than up to date CRM procedure, but how can you not notice that the ADI is not working once you've given some aileron inputs for more than a few seconds? Also, banking that steep should be felt clearly in the cockpit, and should feel pretty different to turbulence, so I really wonder. I wonder, was the captain preoccupied somehow already on the ground? Maybe the reason he behaved towards his crew the way he did was ultimately the same had him fail to correctly judge the situation once airborne?

[@bishnu526]

Man I can’t express how much I liked the music that used to be there when it shows the green dot aviation logo at the start, now it’s gone. I have watched a lot of videos simply because of that music.

[@TomTKK]

What happened

[@curtisj2165]

The incoming captain should have just left the switch in the ALT position for the next captain

[@EnvyTheRealest]

The next captain should of paid attention to his backup instruments. Hes was turning all the way left and his main instrument was not reacting to his inputs. Instead of getting a hold of himself to get back to his senses, he continued to turn left.

[@mb2776]

in the music industry, we also "reset" our mixing desk, but at least we put writeable tape onto stuff that doesn't work.

[@antman5474]

Very respectful analysis and conclusion of a tragic event.

[@kaitai5900]

100% culture, because they were Koreans. Still exists today. Case in point is the Asiana crew that flew a perfect 777 into a sea wall at KSFO several years ago. Perfect clear blue no wind day. Relief pilot (former ROKAF F16 pilot knew exactly what was happening, but said nothing until he feared for his life. Culture.

[@richardjohnson455]

Baffling. If the Moscow-based mechanic Kim couldn’t get a FIM at Stansted why didn’t it ever occur to him to make a phone call or use a computer to access the FIM at a KAL office elsewhere? A KAL staffer at their home office or wherever he contacted could just read him the Code meaning from the FIM. Unbelievable.

[@krob2327]

Kim was compromised by the Russians
