The fact that he chose not to crash into the building once he learnt people were inside is surprisingly humane given what he was planning to do
So thats why he is a hero?
@@Gunsandjewels no? I never said he's a hero lol
He also decided to do it with no one on his plane
@@grantt1589 this right here
It pisses me off when pilots decide to end it with a plane full of people
Sucide isn’t something that people should do but if you absolutely must, do not take others out with you
Maniac not a dick
"Well done guys he landed!"
High fives, applausing and cheering....
10 sec. later...
"Oh wait! Where is he going?!!?"
*Kaboom*
😂
You made me laugh with this comment
suprised pikacu's face
This comment actually hurt me. From laughter.
6:59 'The pilot eventually screamed at 200 knots' - he had a good pair of lungs, clearly.
Ya, but what did those 200 knots ever do to him.
Maybe they ment ‘streamed’?
This cracked me up 😆
@@mirapaskievici6364 Or “the plane screamed”
"I hid behind a counter". Brilliant life-saving move...
Lmfao
Yeah, that had me scratching my head. Like wtf is that gonna do for you?
It was the best thing that could be done and it would almost certainly save you from debris. Don't forget, it was a desk that saved Hitler's life from a bomb blast only inches away from him.
People are stupid in emergency situations. 😒
@@stevenklingler9376 That's not called stupid.
The fact that the devastated man changed his mind when he found out that there are people in the building is quite chilling. Wish everyone had at least this much humanity in them.
*cough* Lubitz *cough*
Roshan Fernandes bit harsh dont you think?
@@babyj4154 no not at all
Roshan Fernandes for being mentally unwell because of losing his job and choosing to destroy properties instead of lives ?
@@thegabora5849 there are millions of people who lose jobs due to recession or any other factor. Just imagine if all of them start destroying property of former employer or risk others lives.... I dont appreciate it. And i jave no sympathy for such criminals. If a person is hardworking and talented he can get any other job. Why become criminal?
That's what you call being REALLY pissed off at your boss.
@Miles Coverdale That is so sad, If you're going to do it...keep others safe.
Miles Coverdale I believe it was Germanwings. He flew the plane into a mountain. This one makes me sad but that one just makes me extremely angry
The thing is I can imagine myself doing something like this if I was pissed off enough. I guess if he crashed into the building there would've been time for his boss to run away. Smashing into the two planes on the ground would've been unexpected and caused a lot of problems for the boss and gave a clear message. It makes you wonder exactly how the pilot was treated by the boss. Was the pilot just crazy or was the boss really that bad?
@@c.shadou1897 seems like that miles dude deleted his comment. What did he say?
sitsia I don’t remember but based on my reply it’s probably mentioning a pilot who flew a passenger plane into a mountain.
I feel like he’s just giving the airline biggest “f*** you” before he left
Haha so truee
Or KARMA.
If it was Spirit airline i would definitely agree.
They were insured, so he died for nothing.
@@A-FrameWedge The Marvin Heemeyer of aviation :-(
Never underestimate a disgruntled employee... thankful he didn’t hurt anyone innocent other than himself.
I can only commend him from not taking other lives with him. Yeah, had cause panic, but didn't kill anyone... like a certain other pilot locking the captain out the flight deck and crashing the plane into the mountain.
That fucker Lubitz
@@the3cookies256
Rotting in hell right now...
@Whovian Hireath some people just don't want to go away on their own, so they take others with them. Maybe they want to be remembered, through infamy.
Germanwings 9525...
RIP Germanwings
When you take down the entire fleet with one plane:
Cha cha real smooth
😂😂😂
XD
More like when your entire fleet consists of 3 aircrafts 😲
And to add insult to injury,your only back up is an HS748!
If in fact he he took out a fleet? 3 planes is not a fleet? It's an over extended poor rich man that had surrounded himself with unqualified people. Now ya just slapping @ shit ya know nothing about, wanna crop dust? Puke bag is is optional, your call! Dipshit's
This man was rational in his judgement in the sense that he didnt want to hurt innocent people. There has to be more to the story, sadly we couldn't hear his side.
Perhaps family was interviewed? There was a situation like this where a maintenance guy in Seattle stole a plane and crashed it, killing only himself.
The pilot was obviously disturbed, but I’m sure the bad guys were his corporate bosses. It was very humane of him to not involve any other innocent parties.
@@steviesevieria1868 i thought it was gov owner....i mean the name is air botswana
@@steviesevieria1868 He was deemed unfit to fly. By his actions, I assume he was declared mentally unfit. He proved them right.
@@timgoodsell2707 Some rich executive guy who doesn't do anything probably fucked him in a way we'll never even know & it's a shame his side isn't in this video
"Sorry for the delays folks but don't worry we rented this rickety scary piece of crap for you and more rickety scary pieces of crap are on their way."
My first thought as well...I think that I would have thought about another way of leaving...or settled down in a hotel and waited until one appeared not to have the duct tape ready to come undone.
Having flown on both, I can say that although the Hawker Siddeley 748 is an older plane and more noisy than an ATR, it is just as safe.
Dang, that was too bad. At least he didn't take anyone with him. Superb job. I love this channel and applaud the hard work you do. Kudos.
It's a CGI film! It's NOT real! Watch the views of planes. Where's proof it happened?
@@hankbridges5055 It's a recreation of events with a flight simulator. Of course it's not real footage of the incident and everybody except for you is aware of that.
@@hankbridges5055 dude! Its fucking not reall bro, so what
Hank Bridges its a recreation, you fucking dimwit
Hank Bridges it did actually happened he just recreates it
-It's probably very difficult to steal a plane and destroy entire airline fleet
-In Botswana? Super easy, barely an inconvenience!
tenow u forgot to say actually
Destroying airlines is TIGHT!
YeahYeahYeah
It is easy any where, remember Richard Russell??!!
Even Emirates begun with a small fleet at one time. Everyone has to start from somewhere
"I'll show them I'm medically fine to fly, watch me crash this plane into them planes... That'll teach them"
XD
I think it's more than that. They are hiding something
@@danishkfd you watch too many movies. Some people might just be psychotic
@@alexdoan273 nah dude. Just because you can't fly you won't become a sucide pilot and destroy an whole airline. Also look at the pilot. He is the first in his community. I think he was discriminated based on his community. And humiliated.
@Bones McGillicuddy nah dawg. Sometrain outside country and are trained good and then are some CEO who are salty people in general and hate based on colour and nationality
Well at least he proved that he WAS fit to fly, seems he did a rather good job of it, 10/10 for flying but 2/10 for taxiing.
I'd say, given his intent, even his taxiing gets 10/10.
@@blackandgold676 NAILED IT!!!
He started his taxing nice then bad
He didn't prove anything of the sort. Just because some people can reasonably well - at least x amount of times out of ie 10 times - operate a car well when drunk, doesn't mean it's proof that they're therefore fit to drive.
The medical criteria are there for a reason. It's always funny to me the sort of stupid opinions and "conclusions" people (esp. non aviation people when it comes to flying) give off.
In fact he proved that he was NOT fit to fly particularly from a psychological point of view.
I am from Botswana and remember this terrible incident vividly.
Thank you for making a video on it.
Just a RUclips User rest of what you said won’t open ❓
Did anybody ever find out what his grievances were or what his medical condition was?
Brings an entirely new meaning to the phrase having a bad day at the office.!!!!!
it was deliberate,
Imagine being an ATC arriving to work that morning at 6 AM and that’s the first thing you’re greeted with lol
Moral of the story: never push a good man to a limit where he doesn't care anymore.
I feel a lot more is hidden here, the guy clearly had grudge against management but don't want to hurt other people.
What exactly turned him into this?
Air Trafic Control: There's an unauthorized plane in the air!
Pilot: I'm gonna do what is known as a pro gamer move.
Aids: (forgive me) I'm about to end this pilot's whole career
"I'd also like to speak to Jesus, Buddha, a lion tamer, and the custodian at Wendy's".
Buddha was out of town that week.
Buddha was with his drinking Buddhis.
I'd say Jesus was the ONLY one who could have helped him!
Ronald Shank ...and he didn’t. Proves, Jesus is an asshole.
🤣LOL a lion tamer and the custodian at Wendy's ROFLMAO!
Well, I guess you could say that was one highly pissed off employee.🤔✈
Yup. You could say that......His paycheck was a day late. That's why he was so pissed.
This is a bad joke.
Bring the saying " if I'm going down I'm taking you all down with me " to a whole new level...
"The two aircraft were empty at the time of the accident" ? How was it an accident, his actions were intentional.
well, what's the appropriate sentences for that statement then?
@@KingofFray incident
@@KingofFray Crash. Wreck. Event. Hit. Strike. Collision. Destruction...
"Accident" is a technical term in aviation for any adverse happening that ends in human death or destruction of an aircraft. In this sense, intent doesn't matter.
@@Tindometari someone who knows Aviation.
I can understand his sadness at having to stop working due to medical reasons. I had to do that in my thirties and my self esteem plummeted. But destroying planes because of it and killing yourself? No.
Losing your medical is every pilots nightmare, it happened to me in 1989.
Yes, it was not exactly a high point in my life but I moved on and am now successful at another trade.
In my opinion though, I think the regulatory agencies could lighten up a bit on medical requirements. I lost my medical because one of my eyes went bad (Keratoconus) and yes, the bad eye saw everything out of focus but I could (and still can) see just fine with both eyes.
Looking back, my eye condition would not have compromised safety in the slightest but I was not allowed to fly because of it.
@@rrknl5187 and then you have that one pilot who landed a 737 on a levy without engines while completely blind in one eye
It's called depression
@@Gamerboy-gy1rl yeah. I know. I just really liked working.
@@rrknl5187 For the insurance companies it would have been enough to reject any compensation in case of a crash.
These simulations look so real now that it feels like a movie.

I have more sentiments for the plane, yes.
@@dzenishadzic664 disgusting to glorify idiots , criminals and crazy suicidal people.
Yeah most likely millions of dollars of damage. And the fact that he did it on purpose. They’re not going to care
There's some thing about this one I find hilarious. I think it's because he was considerate and caring not to take out innocent people.. but still made sure he crashed into their planes with his vendetta 😂
But also .. credit to him for not being selfish and taking lives. Rest well x
superdave31 uh he was profoundly selfish and destructive. Not committing murder isn’t something to be proud of.
@@33moneyball Seeing how many people decided to "not die alone" I think it's safe to say that he wasn't as selfish as he could have been. I don't think any property can be more valuable than someone's life.
@@naumen6508 I dunno those planes are pretty pricey.
😄
@@33moneyball sad all the same that it cost him his life.
@@33moneyball you're wrong. When you're in that zone, not committing murder is the proudest thing you can do. Everyone at one point in their life has wanted to watch the whole world burn for something that's happened to you.
He could have killed so many people, instead he only killed himself and a company.
Completing your objective without taking the life of someone else is somewhat honorable when you compare it to the ones who maliciously take others with them in their moment of crisis.
I'd never even heard about this incident... how bizarre!
Shows you how bias western media against so called 'third world' news
Certainly made news headlines in South Africa and the rest of Africa
I've never heard of Botswana. Then again, I breezed thru college in my mid thirties, getting a music degree; at which time the curriculum did not require math, science, or geography.
I shall google that word... NOW.
Everytime 0:08 starts I always feel like the Avengers theme will play-
But thank you so much for the new video! We appreciate it. Good luck and have an amazing day/night

Frank Chavez dun dun!
Love the music. It really sets the mood.
He was fit to fly, he just wasn’t fit to land.
Just like you only need a parachute if you plan on skydiving more than once

i amazed the creator didn't even bother to make his condelences to the pilot. Maybe he didn't care
@@KingofFray I think it's for the better, because some people will get the wrong message across, and he wants to avoid Drama.
@@LifesongAcademy And yet we almost only have ATR72's for domestic flights here in Finland. :D
This is very sad. Obviously, the captain was going through severe issues. It is a shame he couldn’t or wouldn’t seek help. Suicide is never ever a solution.
Your channel just continues to improve with each and every video. I know it’s hard work, and it shows so very well.
Thank you so much!!
Sometimes it is.
Ehh I wouldn't say it's never a solution
and also the fuc head who is under my house beating on my pipes at night, get him on the phone now!
It was that day
If a person literally refuses to be a part of life on Earth then suicide is the solution...
These videos are really addictive and well done. Please make a video on how you make these videos. 👍🏽
His passion & love for his career was over! I always think to myself, "things have to be bad for someone to kill themself!"
There's more to this captain's story that we don't know about for him to do something so drastic. He couldn't have been all bad since he didn't want to crash into that bldg when he found out ppl would be working at the time. I'm very sorry to his loved ones & for whatever he went through personally in life!
He accelerated right into a commercial!
Thank you so much! I had never even heard of this incident! As always, you did an excellent job with your video. I look forward to the next one! 😊
After some stories I've heard, and videos I've watched, this has been the best suicidal pilot story going. He took his own life, whilst flipping off the company. He didn't take people with him. Wanting to crash into a building, he chose not to once he realised other people would be killed.
The company grounded him, he grounded the company.
Shame though. I guess for some, flying is life.
Its a shame when anybody feels suicide is the way, nevermind when they put others at risk or seek revenge. Its just sad for everyone.
richard russell is also defs up there. similar circumstances too.
maybe icarus isnt always the bad guy?
*"He was the first Motswana to qualify as a pilot". After his propensity to destroy airplanes, he was the last.*
Love how it's the same background audio in every video. Love your videos. Very detailed
Ikr & at the end it's the sad background song its really sad,if you played Gacha Memories then you should know this sad background song
Awesome video as the release is a tad early ! This is really the highlight of Thursday or Friday for us. I hope we can watch JAL 123 with actual CVR and the old music format.
Unfit to fly, yet flies and lands a plane perfectly, while his aim was also on point enough to take out two planes AND had a good moral compass not to take out (harm) any bystanders.
he took a plane without authorization with the intention of crashing it. that's pretty unfit in my book.
Even if it was a physical issue that meant he wasn't fit to fly, just because he could complete a flight doesn't mean he was fit to fly. It would have to be extreme before a pilot wasn't able to complete one flight.
eg: someone prone to heart attack, seizures, etc isn't likely to crash on their first flight, but isn't fit to fly.
@@samsabruskongen Declaring him unfit triggered him....
He was on point enough to take out two planes... Well, he WAS on the ground at that moment.
Yeah, basically he flown the plane on ideal visibility conditions and near the airport, just taking a plane to do something foolish because of a grudge is something i would say "unfit for flying", if he was triggered by his medical grounding, then i would guess he didnt have clear mind to fly and follow procedures to the letter and cooperate with other crew members...From the way he told the tower that he wanted to talk to all these people, i would guess he had personal issues which affected his abilities for sound judgement

At least he didn't do a barrel roll.
@@LG633TV I know
My favorite! Or maybe tied with the Chinese pilot who forgot to hit the brakes and ended up in the water - hilarious comments, too (no one died).
The irony from this is if he had hit the AB building as he intended to do the damage to the company would have been logistically minimal. The fact he changed his plan once he was told people would be inside to then destroying the remainder of the fleet had a FAR greater consequence to AB in the upcoming months with no planes and I'm sure cancellations from regular flyers. Kudos to him for refusing to take innocent people to an early grave.
I’ve been following aircraft disasters for some time now, but was not aware of this one. Thank you for sharing it.
He had AIDS and a few complications with that.
He failed his Aviation Medical for those reasons from a Aviation Medical Doctor - A General Practitioner Doctor the day before said there was no reason he could not work. He got drunk that night stole the plane the next day. He flew it around a while even did a Barrel Roll over the city. He did not land then taxi into the aircraft he landed on top of them.
He was in one piece when we cut him out, but very limp to carry.
Nice video Sir! Thanks for this upload, I love what you’ve done on this video. I say this a lot, I know, but I can’t stop thanking you for these amazing videos, the continuous work, the effort and everything on this channel is amazing. Thank you Sir, you are amazing!

5 Minute Air Shows dont get me wrong, I would never do this in real life.

Well.
It was sad for me but it went well for my classmate. She even tried to stop me from crashing the plane, but I just couldnt help myself. :(

I've said it before and i say it again, your introes and outroes are so good!
These videos are always so interesting and informative ... wow, what a lunatic. At least he spared the people on the ground.
That's true.
shariys1 i guess he didn’t wanna kill anyone, he wanted the all of the company employees and the employers to suffer not die.
Might have just been pushed to far. Google killdozer and find out about Marvin. I think Marvin was a hero. Don't screw people over and expect them just to lay down or go away. Margin got mad, then he got even.
Dude have you ever been pressured or depressed it's serious I guess he's a lunatic for crashing into a building full of people........ Oh wait he didn't he crashed the planes to send a message so many trucking company's and airlines pushing drivers and pilots to the limit nowadays it's sad
Boeing 777-300ER
I get wanting the employers to suffer but I don’t agree that he wanted all the employees to suffer.
It is deeply sad that he had decided to take his life over a stupid job but I have great respect for him for not taking anyone else's life in the process. He sure was a SMART guy. 1> he did not hurt anyone other than himself. 2> he was making sure the airline management received a clear message by blow up three planes. This was a good guy and SMART.
I mean, at least he had the decency and respect to not intentionally harm anyone but himself.
Truly phenomenal work around a obscure but nonetheless tragic incident. TFC, you are the Gold standard, always on point and magnificently creative. Thank you.
Give props to the pilot that still switched lights on.
No pun intended
lmao
Great details and graphics, I didn't even know this happened despite being in the same city that it took place in as I was too young, great work! Liked and subscribed!
Please do a video like this with the details of the suicide crash that took place in Botswana in 2019
Terrible security. How was it possible for an unauthorized pilot to gain access to their aircraft and fly it around? Anyone could've stolen the plane.
Not me I'm not certified for multi engines.. lol
A baby wouldn’t be able to reach the flight controles, so really not everyone could do this. Like a blind person.
yep.....inexplicable to me.....$3 MILLION+ aircraft just sitting there....keys in the ignition or whatever.....screaming take me on test run if you want....go ahead.....just be careful.....and run it through the wash while you are at it.....leave the keys inside as well....??????? Incredible...but whatever.....whats even scarier is what if someone can sabotage the plane before it takes off.....you know....seems like these aircraft are just...."sitting" there LOL!
I don't reach the clown's hand so I couldn't take it either.
Same issue at the amusement parks.
I can drive a semi for a living but can't nail those teenagers at bumper cars. Pisses me off.
Maybe the Security Personnel were asleep. Or maybe he bribed 'em with some Donuts and Coffee! I'm just kidding...I think.
Wow the video is fantastic,super good,the quality is insane and sick!!
Btw can you link those musics you are uaing plsss i love them and so are you theflightchannel! :)
I thought the pilot nosedived into the other 2 ATRs. I never heard anything about him landing and then accelerating into the other planes.
Who knows what he was going through and thank God he didn't take anyone's life and I think he didn't even intend to.
I cant give him respect but i can say he has alot of humanity with him. he wanted to crash into the building knowing there are people he just crashed into other planes without passengers
If there's any good from this he at took only one life, another great video tfc.
I love you forr doing these things. It really does terrify me while watching them....
I just saw a reddit post about "In Memory of the t8 passengers and crew of northwest airlines flight 2501, which disappeared and crashed into an unknown location in Lake Michigan on June 23, 1950, 69 years ago today." and came directly here to see if I could findi anything. NOTHING! Is there any chance you can do one of these on that flight? There might just be so little information for you theres not much to recreate, not sure. EIIITHER WAY... Thankyou FlightChannel! :D
Also credit to the pilot - he took off and flew solo, ran out of fuel, and still landed perfectly, although seemingly in a towering rage. Botswana is a neighbouring country, and this is the first I've ever heard of this incident!
kudos to the pilot. He had an internal beef wit the company and took matters into his own hands. Well done sir
An excellent video as always; this is why I like this channel. It informs me of lesser known aviation incidents with superb presentation.
BTW considering this incident and another video I saw of a stolen plane, I would think aviation officials would seriously consider anti-theft devices on aircraft and improving airport security. Someone stealing a plane with homicidal intent could do a lot of damage.
Good video ..thank you ... I feel sorry for the captain n his family , ...presumably he didn't survive.... .. .so sad . It's so important to have APPEALS procedure in place ...
This wasn't an appeals situation that we know. Any person receiving this sort of news should be referred for help they may need. One reason many employers started providing services for fired employees was the rash of workplace violence and perhaps for image reasons.
Seeing each video of your channel is like watching a short film..superb.😊
The fact that he was able to land it without any fuel was testament to his piloting abilities, had he come to a complete stop he would have created a textbook example of how to recover a stricken plane.
this kinda reminds me of the Alaska Airlines Crash with the Dash-8 Q400 (im not sure)
The pilot was a good man. He likely suffered from a major depression yet he still had the humanity...
Someone said he had Aids
Perhaps he was a good dude before this incident but his behavior here was objectively horrific. Not a murderer hardly qualifies as humane.
Amazing content. Thank you
This Man was a pilot that's all he new,
Take that away from him what is he ?
He's Nothing or that's what he thought.
Couldn't have put it better. RIP Pilot.
i can totally understand that.Well people like the pilot need to know life goes on you cant stop living until its time.
The airline was responsible to see their employee received the help he needed, whether medical, financial or otherwise supportive. I have a friend from South Africa. Her father was dying of cancer and her father's employer paid for her and her spouse and baby to fly to South Africa from the US to see him one final time and for him to meet his grandson and son-in-law for the first time. They couldn't have afforded it with a new baby and one income.
@@clairebennett7831 I would think that perhaps the Pilot had been given a 'Not long to live'message from his Medical organisation, plus he'd been prevented from flying,hence the bitterness.At least he didn't bother anyone else . this is typically a psychological instance.
Air Canada Flight 143 please, it would be interesting to see the recreation of the manoeuvre. (A little slew mode?)
This was a lesson for airlines that pilots should pass phsychological tests too.
Medical checks are stringent, more so in the uk . But this will differ from country to country. One pilot told me you only have to sneeze at his company and you have to report it .
That's assuming that somebody has to be crazy to do crazy things. Normal people can be pushed to do abnormal things. That's being human.
Sad, respect for not wanting to hurt anyone. Did he run 'out' of fuel or just 'low'? Seemed like he had enough to finish the job. RIP angry dude, I feel ya.
Ran out of fuel to fly but just enough to crash the business
This is an amazing channel!👍
And that folks... is how you have to suicide! keeping everyone else safe, respect for the pilot not hitting the building and warning everyone... RIP
"Suicide" isn't a verb. We say "commit suicide" in English.
Same went for Rich'. Sure, he stole a Dash Q400, but didn't take any other lives with him. Crazy to see that being so.
@@chocomanger6873 Wrong, suicide can be used as a verb, but not in that context tho. There are two quite new words that is actually
inflections for the 'verb' Suicide. Suiciding and Suicided. So his illness suicided him.
@@XouZ88 In normal English it's not a verb.
@@chocomanger6873 we say " nobody fucking cares" in Canada
ATC: "Please land the plane, and then you can discuss your concerns with Air Botswana management!" Pilot: "I will crash the plane into Air Botswana headquarters, and THEN we can discuss my concerns!!"
culcune MY question IS.... WHY was he NOT shot down once his intentions were KNOWN ?!!🙄🤔🤷🤦
@@terryhawkins8191 Did/does they have the capability?
culcune ikr....it's strange as HELL to have let him stay airborne for TWO hrs going un-challanged after WHAT he told ATC !! Doesn't make much sense !!🤔🙄🤷🤦
Incredible greetings from la Gran Tenochtitlán. Totally love this channel
I've subscribed to this channel as these are great factual, realistic and entertaining videos. My only confusion is that the pilot landed because he ran out of fuel yet he landed with the engines running and was still able to taxi and accelerate to 200 kts.
The most dangerous airline: Air pilot steals aircraft
Ik this might be a stretch of a suggestion but maybe cover the emiliano sala private plane crash
Rage. When you're driven by anger, all hail breaks loose.
When you said Entire Fleet, I was expecting more than 3 aircraft ;)
It's AIR BOTSWANA, not Lufthansa!
