I recall vividly this accident and another of the same type of plane in Westchester County NY later the same day but without any but the flight crew aboard. We have made big strides in prevention but that meant little to the families of those who died.

Wow thats is Creapy

I have heard the reports of many many many airplane crashes in my 62 years. I have never heard in any report anyone say “there was no one of any importance on the plane“. Wasn’t said , didn’t happen.!!!

Wonderful, if sad video. It focuses on the people who died, and what their lives were all about. Most crash videos talk about the numbers killed and that's about all.

Note on burial vaults: they don't do what they say.

A desperately sad old tale

Climate change??

This is such a heartfelt video and I wish it had millions of views. So different from most air crash videos that are popular on RUclips in 2024.

In the story, there was a sequence that showed the approach-plate for an I"S approach. I'm not sure what was intended by showing that but I know that, on that plate, all the information you need exists to keep you and your passengers safe. When I took Air Traffic Control classes, in the Air Force, in 1967, I learned about aircraft navigation-instrumentation. One item that I've remembered, all of these 55 years, is the ILS (ID-249 or 250) instrument that gives the pilot azimuth and glideslope information during the approach. I'm sure that TWA had these ILS instruments in 1974! If Washington International had an ILS system(Localizer and glideslope) and the pilots were trained to fly those approaches, the instruments and all associated transmitting and receiving equipment would surely guarantee that would not have happened because the radio beams are lined up by engineers to avoid obstacles, as long as you're flying the instruments properly. I flew an ILS instrument approach before I was a rated pilot, in a Lockheed T-33 aircraft. I flew along a radio-beam that kept me on the runway centerline and on a spcific angle-of-descent; perfectly! Also, the approach plate tells you what altitude to be at, depending on where you start. This story tells me that the pilot-crew were neither aware of the terrain nor willing to deviate from the controller's altitude instruction, which definitely was a mistake by all parties. I'm 75 now but, at 73 and, after 46-years having not-flown, I took a familiarization flight, to see if I still wanted to fly. The instructor asked what I wanted to experience. I told him I wanted to do turns and stalls and, when we were ending, I wanted to fly an ILS approach. I did OK but stalled out a little early. I love instrument flight! I'm so sad about this story; especially the politics, with nearly all parties acting as though they needed to avoid self-incrimination.

The story was so sad and George singing brightened my mood ❤

Here because of the EX2 Adventures Gravel Grinder!

I remember this day very well. My grandmother had died earlier that morning, and then this was all over the news. Grandma's passing was natural and expected, but these poor people were just ripped out of the world.

Плоха птносяца людзи палицыя❤❤ эта убиства палицыя и приступления им срок надолга сядут

Правильна издзелал палицыя❤❤ а плахих людзеи нада была спасать жывотных эта приступления

Spingarn High School should have not been closed. This school played a major role in DC history.

No one of importance????

When I was a kid we used to go out for drives on the weekend (if anyone remembers people doing that), and just a few days after this accident we drove past the spot. I can still remember it clearly. On the hillside looking out from the road every tree was sheared off just as level and clean as if with a saw. Up to the road, which was the point where it hit the ground. On the other uphill side of the road the trees were unscarred, untouched, and there was nothing there but thousands of what looked little white scraps of paper scattered amongst the trees, and nothing else.

Learn ya shit. That ambulance uses diesel fuel.

America could have done better to preserve them after all the work to make them, sad day here😢

My aunt was on this flight. Sheila Regan.

At one point Northwest 6231 flew behind TWA 514 and Norhwest 6231 crashed later that day.

Are you able to fit a prosthetic?

Great video

I really apreciate, how it is made, the kind a way. It is really realistic and you have of course paid so much for it, that I can just tell you, that you have made the best presidental statue since those old times of Mt. Rushmore. People, you are amazing and I definitely want to see anything like this in next years. No crap. Absolutely fantastic.

EXCELLENT Content! and the human side to this story moving and of most importance. It's relieving to know that their lives were not lost without significant improvements made to flight safety as a result of this accident.

Bro I’m watching this as I’m in the gym with all the graffiti and stuff it’s crazy

The personnel who respond to these incidents are scarred for life, they need to be honored for having to recover the aftermath, every accident that kills human beings deeply affects those who have to clean up the result. I know a priest who responded to a midair collision plane crash involving 16 people, I heard it and witnessed it falling from 2 miles away, I will never forget our conversation about it. God bless them.

Lucca was a wonderful and exceptional Sergeant... 💎🐾🐾🪖 Wonderful material...it is beautiful that this Hero was so appreciated and loved. Lucca 🪖is a warrior and a great supported of the Army 🇺🇸 Great respect from 🇵🇱 🕊️🤝 SALUT

This accident happened because pilots in the U.S.A. were never trained to use distance from touchdown to determine how low they should be on arrival at any airport. TWA was cleared for the approach 50 miles from Dulles. They mistakenly decided to descend to their initial approach altitude of 1800’ when the minimum altitude was 3400’. There was no reason to descend to 3400’ at that point. The simple math formula is at 50 miles you want to be passing 15,000’. Mt. Weather is 25nm from Dulles. The simple math formula says they should have been passing 7500’ at 25 miles. I believe the NTSB report said they hit Mt. Weather at 1675’ which was lower than the intended 1800’. The NTSB tried to explain why they were low but failed to mention high winds being. reason. In European publications they warn high winds cause significant altimeter errors in mountainous terrain. TWA hit Mt. Weather because they were over 4000’ too low. ruclips.net/video/HBOCrx-FVLE/видео.html

Well done documentary, vintage news reports and news photos added to sadness of this tragic accident.

Media and Government lie to your face

When someone looks into a ring camera 2:21

I actually watched this movie on Vimeo I think it was, it was Powerful. Profound. Heart breaking. Inspiring. Tattoo Tom is my hero. He should be everyone’s hero. Stillbrave. ♥️

I'm truly speechless. As a member of Patriot Guard Riders, this is the ultimate memorial I've been able to witness, and cried for the families of these heroes. God bless all those that coordinated and carried out this fantastic Homecoming.

So media told us that "no one of importance" was on the flight. Since when is a dbag politician "important?"

As of 8/11/22 it was set on fire

❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

On the day I was born.

Didn’t they close the school cause of the murder?

I learned that a student named Adrian Precia was murdered in that school.

Absolutely fantastic video, thank you for honouring the awesome people who went to war,

DE-ICE

Wow/! Baylor & the 2 Orange - Bing & Douglas/

It's awesome that some of the survivors did things to honor their lost loved ones. I became an EMT because my dad died of a heart attack when I was 12. I wanted to try to spare other kids from going through what I did.

I was walking around the crash site and found a bank card belonging to Frederick Neal Lorenz, who was 26 when he died on the flight. Apparently he has no surviving family. If by chance anyone has access to someone close to him or his family, please let me know. I'd like to return his card to them.

I'm going to name my daughter Gabby. She is the most strong , Intelligent 10 year Old , let alone person i have ever seen. I can;t express how smart and loving she is. I love her so much and what she did and how she handled herself during her whole ordeal. It gets to me so much when she talks about how she got cancer because she was supposed to raise awareness. No child should have to go through this. Please look up Apricot kernels if you have never about curing it. work your way up to 15 x 3 times a day until it goes away and then eat some every now and then.

See you in heaven, Dave!!! ❤️😇❤️

So, did you win?
