i would like to take this opportunity to thank all the hardworking people at the NTSB, they are incredibly competent, take their job incredibly seriously, and we are lucky to have them.

[@GdThngUrPretty]

I honestly wish other fields got the same level of scrutiny. Cars are kinda good-faith safe, which allows stuff like the Cybertruck w no crumple zones and doors that don't open without power. Imagine if every car accident was investigated by these types of folks, instead of untrained cops and insurers trying not to pay. Or hospital bills/outcomes going to untrained judges and juries. NTSB is great, just want more of it. (Unfortunately I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon. Will prolly get worse, given how all 3 branches are super anti-regulation rinow)

[@LightBlueVans]

Plainly Difficult (another yt channel) really made me appreciate so much more how much they do.

Right? The biggest problem I had with the "Sully" movie was how the NTSB was represented. That must've been infinitely frustrating for the people there who have dedicated their lives to making us all safer.

I also find it reassuring following some of the ATC channels like VASAviation.

I recall at the time there was a lot of talk in the national media about the fact that the plane's engines had recently had had an overhaul in Turkey and that likely being the cause, being as maintenance practices outside the US are so much lower. I find it a huge irony that it was actually domestic airline maintenance practices that caused it and nothing to do with the overhaul in Turkey.

[@BigSlimJimmy]

As a pilot I was always told: "Aviation regulations are written in blood" The FAA and the NTSB are the best regulatory bodies in the US and arguably the world because we take safety so seriously. As a result we have an economy that relies on this ever efficient means of transport. This should be required watching for all aviators and aviation-adjacent personell. Follow the checklist!

[@kwombok]

ALL regulations are written in blood!

[@highground6912]

The FAA allowed Boeing to perform many if not most of the test themselves. The FAA might actually be one of the best regulatory bodies you have in the US, but please don’t speak for other parts of the world. There are many regions where regulators are actually able and well enough funded to be able to perform their duties.

[@BigSlimJimmy]

@@highground6912 I said it's the best, but that isn't a high bar! Remember that the FAA has the strictest standards of aviation safety that are the flagship around the world due to aviation's origins in the US. ICAO ultimately submits to the standards of the FAA, not the other way around!

[@MSJKSA]

As someone who watched ALL Air Crash Investigation episodes, I immediately clicked the video and I wasn't disappointed. What a legend

[@k03hl3r]

1:14 - there is a saying in aviation - “Aviate, navigate, communicate.” It shows the priority of the flight crew and resource management at all times. Fly the plane, figure out where you are going, and then and only then do you have resources to communicate to ATC, other planes in the area, or your passengers.

[@alexlindsey1169]

[@ArcticFFox]

11:35 for me, it wasn't getting familiar with sound that helped because I have processing problems and any loud sound regardless of if it's good or bad makes me distressed. what ended up helping me on my flights was instead knowing the flight procedures beforehand. when I was stressed about take off, i counted random numbers in my head pretending to be a pilot gaining speed before rotating. when i was anxious about landing, i watched how the flaps changed the second the plane touched the ground. doing all this gave me something to focus on without making myself downplay the fear that comes with flying. i didn't suppress it, i just simply thought along with the process and that calmed me enough

[@LegitimateCK4120]

My sister went through a similar process when we were younger. I was always in awe of how a plane worked, but the slightest bit of turbulence or the plane sways in the wind on final approach and she was almost hysterical. Best way to deal with it is to do as you say, go through all the steps and just go with the process. Eventually, flying becomes a breeze!

I always find the Sioux City crash especially tragic, those guys worked so hard with no conventional means of control, and barely any unconventional means, and were SOO close to making it safely. It was only in the last few seconds where they could literally do no more, because the engines just couldn't react fast enough, that it went tragically wrong. That significantly more survived than died is remarkable, and entirely due to the skill and sheer determination of those aircrew.

[@danbarnard9785]

I'm actually surprised he didn't go into more detail about UA232. Impressive that only a little over 1/3 of those on board perished given that absolutely no one else at the time would've even made it close to the airfield (You want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?).

Greg, not sure if you'll see this but my father was the 13th Air Force Vice Commander on Guam when the KAL crash happened. He remembers getting out to the scene of the crash and immediately knowing what had happened due to his career as a fighter pilot. Pretty sure he got to sit down with you, or at least some of your people to discuss it and obviously Andersen had sent people up there to assist with everything. Ironically enough that was my freshman year of high school at Guam High School which sat overlooking that crash site in the old Joint Typhoon Warning Center building. Small world.

[@Sahlooochi]

Kind of cynical but watching every single episode of Air Disasters (which Mr Greg here was featured on many times) made me fascinated with the entire aviation industry. It makes me giggle that even in 2024 some people are still like “if its Boeing Im not going” because of a couple incidents, out of literally millions of flights every day.

[@criodanomurchu1075]

Does it make you giggle that companies like Boeing cut safety measures in order to save airlines money and time, leading to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people?

[@dreamthedream8929]

but they say that the actual boeing employees that worked on those planes have been recorded saying that they too wouldnt fly on these planes and wouldnt let their families as well.

[@dreamthedream8929]

also the actual boeing employees have spoken very publicly on this and said that they wouldnt fly on them and that they are not okay, some say one was even killed by boeing employees to stop talking too much

[@blarghmcblarghson1903]

Multiple QA managers have come out to state Boeing factories are taking parts that have failed inspection and sticking them in new planes so they can keep up with the manufacturing pace; yet you're "giggling" about concerns despite knowing there have been crashes caused by things like a single frozen servo valve, obstructed pitot tubes, poorly installed entertainment systems, etc. Millions of flights everyday are safe when manufacturers and operators follow FAA guidelines and don't cut corners. The newest Boeings are rolling out with aggressive corner cutting. Do you not see the problem there? Are you possessed by Stockton Rush?

[@JadeSm96]

I also have to thank growing up watching Air Crash Investigation for my curiosity about aviation! My parents always thought it was morbid that I was so obsessed with that show but if anything it's made me less nervous about flying because of every lesson these accidents have taught manufacturers/airlines, and more excited about the amazing engineering that's brought us modern airliners

[@ARKHAMxMaverick]

So glad more people get to learn about Greg Feith. All of us who watch Air Crash investigations know, when Greg is on an episode, he's an incredible teacher.

I understand that Greg doesn’t get to technical about Boeing planes failing out of the sky, but to just say that everyone has an issue with quality control is an understatement. Boeing implementing MCAS as such a powerful system and not telling the pilots which sparked the attention to Boeing planes crashing is not just a quality control problem but a managing problem which could possibly affect them in the future. (Hopefully the new CEO guides them in the right path)

Boeing's problems are their cost cutting management who are no longer the older engineers but people with BAs and "management skills" who are interested only in the share price for the next quarter. There's been a huge quality drop because of this.

I like how he reassures us that the wings will not break off, and then a few minutes later shows us the ring cam footage of a wing that broke off and struck the ground

Turbulence, even severe turbulence, will not cause structural failure. What happened with the Mooney was an upset situation involving a high-speed spiral dive and extreme flight control inputs subjecting the plane to 8 Gs, which is fighter jet territory and will cause normal people to pass out before the plane breaks up. On an airliner, the horizontal stabilizer would likely be the first to fail rather than the wings in a situation like that - Adam Air Flight 574 about 18 years ago is the most recent example I can think of.

@alexandernordstrom1617 thank you bro. I was being a bit of a smartass but I do recall seeing a mayday episode where a plane nosedived at such I high speed that it broke apart. I forgot he was talking about turbulence in regards to the wings breaking up

I love this guy, the way he speaks is so professional and precise
