That’s MH17

What Aircraft was it

Former US Navy flight instructor here. It seems neither this pilot nor his A/C was prepared for this flight. He owes his life to the proficiency and good thinking and calm demeanor of the ATC. Good job on his part.

Good job from ATC and tanker.

As a young UK ATPL student in the late 80's we were told that the worst possible place to attempt a forced landing was on a road due to hazards such as poles, bridges, vehicles, power lines etc... The only time a road was possibly the only option was at night due to the simple fact it was visible due to street/vehicle lights.. I'm interested to know why so many US pilots go deadstick onto roads, is that the advice during training..??

Checked the map and the Hudson River is restricted airspace and along with flying over 400' they likely get a talk with the FAA.

Great job from all involved.

Flying over 400 feet is a bust. The helicopter flying to get near the drone is questionable since no matter what the drone guy does the helicopter is out to get near the drone. FAA has big fines for busting the regs.

It reminded me of the old GCA

I live in Denver and was listening on ATC live as this happened, very sad

No ELT?

This controller is completely apathetic. 🥱 how many souls on board? 🥱.

Great ATC and pilot 😊

If you can't be bothered to even show multi engine aircraft on the graphic I cant be bothered to watch your poor videos

The pilot is in a crisis and f--king controller is distracting him with fuel reaming questions where it doesn't make one GD bit of difference!

A good handheld GPS has everything you need when it hits the fan. Highways, airways, airports, navigation, 6 pack instruments,

"just a bummer".. i really liked this plane type thought.. lolol holy shit the amount of casualness in the same time knowing the end results before they happen. wild mental strength.

As long as one engine is operative normally no problem

7:17 The unintelligible words are "about three city blocks."

this happened 8 years ago

Fuel exhaustion just keeps happening. I don't get it at all. Throw a few numbers into Foreflight. It takes all of 2 minutes to do.

Highways should not be the first choice during the day anyway.

Lake Pend Orielle and that area of Northern Idaho have some crazy weather to contend with

66 year old pilot Stephen C. Lloyd of Lexington sustained minor injuries. 3 passengers unharmed. Fuel exhaustion due to improper planning is the likely cause of the engine failure.

Maybe embarrased, but alive

Wht two totally different crash site pics? Overhead view showing burned up house is near an intersection, the other is not.

I wonder if he checked anything like the oil before flying??? I see pilot's ignore the fluids all the time. Working as an A&P for many years I cannot even begin to think of all the crap I have witness by pilots.

Lovely! This is what aviation is all about. But boy do we need to come up with better safety technologies for smaller aircraft!

That "tiny" drone could easily bring an aircraft down if it gets into the engine. Not a toy.

These a-holes have to stop using roads as runways. Why is an innocent life on the ground worth less than the pilot's? Go ditch in the woods or a field, not streets.

People like this back in 2014 are why FAA commenced writing part 107 as it is today. FAA tried to prosecute some and the cases got tossed because there were no FAA regulations written for "toys." Just an "Advisory Circular" (glorified memo of recommendations).

"The engine is fine and we have 15 gallons left, 7DM"

There are 2 different crashes being shown.

He dont know about the size of his fuel tank??

About 10 years ago a student pilot at a moderate size airport with ATC in the UK was told to do an orbit on downwind and speared it in. As a result, students now have a prefix "tyro" for their call sign to identify them as students, in the hope of not being asked by ATC to do something they do not normally do. Concidentally, the same airport once asked me to do two orbits on right base at 800 feet in relatively poor vis, due to other traffic; my wife was not amused!

They CLEARLY weren’t ready to fly. They should’ve NEVER let this happen! Why would they put two brand new boys in a flight alone together!? They need to revamp the program to include an instructor and make it pass/fail. This is so dangerous and unnecessary! My god.

The dr. Killer strikes again.

I’ve been around Denver on the highways and I know it’s busy but it looks like you got I-70 in the vicinity and some other big roads, I don’t know how feasible it is to time it right landing on a highway or road? I know turns at low power you’re going to trade altitude. Does anyone know his altitude at first call? How about glide characteristics if any? I’m not a pilot but seems like he dropped pretty quick

So many light GA crashes, so few parachutes installed

Flight Follower screwed the pooch on that one. 👎👎

Cool video dude these guys are cool as ice even pissing fuel over enemy territory lol these guys are badass

How can you climb when you’re losing engine power? That would be recipe for a stall.

its the same problem each time. some indication of engine problem, and instead of climbing, the guy heads straight for the airport. we need to teach pilots to CLIMB when there is any indication of engine trouble.

Are we seeing two crash sites from the overhead shots?

That last "Bummer" was very sobering realizing he said it because he now knows he is going to have to eject over enemy territory

For all you folks citing the many Part 107 violations committed here, consider this. The incident described in this video occurred in July 2014, two years before Part 107 was even published by the FAA.

Incredible clear communication, well done

Badass Pilots 🇺🇸

Having an engine fire I can't see why he didn't do an emergency spiraling descent and land even touching down on the center of a runway. Those runways and taxiways are so big he could of landed anywhere quick.
