- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2024
- The crash of TW Flight 800, initially suspected as terrorism, is revealed to be due to a cargo door blowing open mid-flight, leading to cabin depressurization and loss of control.
Another incident involves a Turkish Airlines DC-10 where a cargo door failure results in cabin depressurization, causing passengers to be swept out of the plane to their deaths.

So difficult to watch. My husband’s mother was on Turkish Air 981 on 3rd of March, 1974- the 50 year anniversary just passed 2 weeks ago. She was British, returning from Istanbul on British Airways, but was diverted to this flight due to the strike. My husband was 17, & had 2 brothers 14 & 20. Their father had remarried & was not involved in their lives. They didn’t know she was on this flight, & the 14 year old was excited to have volunteered to take the tube to meet her flight. There was no crisis management or protocols in those days. Her BA flight said cancelled but there was mayhem & confusion at the airport in London. The brothers collectively figured out she was on the plane that had crashed. My husband & his older brother went to an air hanger in Orly, France, to look at bodies & parts of bodies to see if they could identify their mother, which they could not. There were aisles of tables set up with passengers belongings & they took what they identified as their mother’s. Not just the loss, but the aftermath had a profound impact on these 3 boys lives. The youngest ultimately, in an indirect manner, lost his life as a result. My husband says not a day goes by he doesn’t relive that day. In tragedies like this, most people who haven’t experienced anything similar, focus on the tragic loss of life…but most tragic are the loved ones left behind.
You are so right! Its the loved ones that suffer the most!
On the 2nd of March 2024, Turkish Airlines linked Melbourne, Australia to their network. To my knowledge, neither on TV nor radio, not much was mentioned of the DC-10 disaster. It just didn't fit the marketing strategy of Turkish rising further on the airline battlefield of raising profits and competing against the safest airline in the world, QANTAS.
what about the meatball hoagies?
I'm so very sorry 😢❤
@lintlickers what's that supposed to mean?
GE fired my husband because he refused to take 'engineering shortcuts'. Those shortcuts' killed people. He grieved to death. Now i grieve.
Sorry. That’s so typical of what happened to all kinds of ppl in the 80’s. I am glad I lived through the last flight I took. TWA and ValuJet were idiots. The flights I was on both had issues next time out. Exposed for greeedddy bastards.
Yawn
I truly feel for your husband (RIP) as I have been disbelieved too. 😢
I’m sorry to hear that
Any way you could bring yourself to tell the whole story? You never know, it could cause someone to have a conscience, become a whistleblower and save lives. 🤞🙏
the same corporate environment that created the dc 10 also created the 737 max
One person doing maintenance left 4 bolts off. Big deal.
@@BigEightiesNewWaveActually, I think they are talking about the MCAS system.

@@kay9549 The American flight over Windsor ON where the cargo door blew off happened June 12, 1972.
Ty harrietharlow9929 do remember that flight, they were able to land the craft even after car do door, blew off. They were fortunate they did not have there hydraulics completely severed. There was another flight that the engine was incorrectly mounted, which had fracture fatigue. Even though the engine sheared off in doing so severed the hydraulic system, pilots were not able to maintain that flight
49:00 and here we are,40-60 years later having the same issues as when it all started,doors blown at mid air,tires falling off on takeoff,pilot and copilots napping while driving 😮💨

There are going to be mishaps with millions of takeoffs and landings per year I'm amazed there aren't more crashes. Flying is much much safer. In the 60s and 70s u would have 2 or 3 major accidents every year just in the US alone. One year I think 1987 there were over 20 I believe

Being a Technical Airline Investigator must require amazing experience, education and street sense. Incredible people.
The Turkish Airlines flight was in 1974, 50 years ago. The TWA flight was in 1996, 28 years ago. Sensational video titles (people falling from planes😮) with content from half a century ago for clickbaiting.
But it is true though. They did fall out. So not the worst case of click bait.
And it's all still VERY relevant!
Clickbait for sure. This episode has been posted before. Dramatic thumbnail to lure you in. RUclips needs to punish these and not other content creators that are doing good works.
@@jasonmaccoul
I agree it's a bit sensational. But in this case, hardly worst case click bait. Six people LITERALLY DID suddenly fall out of a DC-10 over the suburbs of Paris. And if the objection is that there was no actual live video of them falling, that's an unreasonable expectation. Actual live footage of such things is extremely rare. This is such a far cry from genuine click bait.
Agreed.
So tragic, especially when crashes are avoidable. The only comfort is that changes were made that will save lives in future. My heart goes out to the loved ones of all those who died in these avoidable crashes. Also, kudos to the pilots of the British Triple 7 who landed their plane and all lives saved.
They KNOW the vehicle is going to kill people. THAT keeps me up nights, the Pinto.
You can't predict the unpredictable but you can anticipate the unexpected and plan around that.
Twa 800, the moment they mentioned the teenagers, it hurt. Those teenagers, my mothers friend, her best friend, died that day. She can't talk about it 30 years later. She's still hellbent that her friends were victims of terrorism and I don't blame her
Look at the flight list. Any high ranking people on board. Not the first time a whole plane was taken out just to get one or two individuals. Rest are just collateral damage.
TWA 800 was shot down by our own military during war exercises in that area. It was a huge blunder that cost 100’s of lives and the gov will not admit to it to this day. Bill Clinton is a sleazy p.o.s. Center fuel tank leak is an incredulous explanation. Shame on this country.

Yeah that was just heartbreaking, I have nieces and nephews that age 😢
And this is why I keep my feet firmly on the ground, I'll never set foot in a plane.
Famous line from the Mummy Returns: Why can't you people ever keep your feet on the ground?
I hope you don't drive either, as you might end up as one of the many thousands who die on the roads each year. On US airlines over the last 23 years, excepting only the regionals, there has been but a single fatality. Try beating those odds with your car.
@@cchris874 When I used to skydive, people used to say that the most dangerous part of skydiving was the drive out to the airfield.
Don't know much about airplanes engineering, but it's 😢to hear all these people lost their life.
I'm surprised it didn't include Swissair 111. That was a horrific error in design
That was an MD-11, not a DC-10.
In reference to the twa 800 flight, plane was on tarmac for many hours, also it was a very hot day. While they were waiting to leave, air conditioning was running constantly. The fuel tanks were not fully tapped off, so fumes, vapors were heated by the air condition that were below them. Pilots were unaware of status of flight till they went to designated attitude. So tragic, decompression, etc, hopefully as they were breaking up, descending to earth it was over quickly, hopefully so.
@@abenirex Although MD11 is the continuation of the DC10 after McDonnel and Douglas Corporation merger. So it is essentially largely the same aircraft.
I have closed these "Hold 5" doors hundreds of times. The system is to press a lever until the door closes.Then keep closing the door until a small indicator light turns off. Then the pull a large lever down to close the latch. But If the door is not fully closed, I wonder if it is displayed in the cockpit!
Sometimes yes sometimes no. In the case of Turkish Airlines, they actually disabled the indicator light.
WOW! We hear that so often!
This is just heartbreaking to watch... ❤❤❤
I keep on seeing this stories about tragedies and weird stuff happening in planes it makes me not want to fly at all ever.
I understand the fear but you gotta realize that statistically, these things will never happen to you
They say it is the safest way to fly yet the series mayday which talks about plane crashes & series problem with planes sometimes they land but mostly they crash & there is 17 seasons of this series with around 12-14 episodes per seasons. ?????
This is from so long ago, maybe more than 20 years! There hasn’t been a major American crash since maybe 2002, but I don’t believe it was a huge loss of life.
...studies have shown the one is less likely to die in a plane crash, but not guaranteed., IF you stay off them.....
And considering how many issues are in the news, it is amazing anybody wants to fly nowadays.
I flew on a few DC-10s back in the day, luckily enough for my family and I the cargo door never blew off the side of the plane...
The second plane I ever flew on was a DC-10. I was a teenager at the time.
The wreckage was so fragmented that it was difficult to determine whether any parts of the aircraft were missing before it crashed. Post-crash fire were small because there were few large pieces of the aircraft left intact to burn. Of the 346 passengers and crew on board, only 188 bodies were identifiable (40 of which were identified visually), with rescue teams recovering some 20,000 body fragments in all.
And Turkish Airlines, unbeknownst to most, tinkered with the door system shortly before the crash, which is why it was able to avoid destruction during its 1st year of operation.
Could you imagine walking out your front door to leave for work and there's a row of seats with bodies strapped in and it's in the upright position facing the street? And there's nothing unusual all around your house and I don't know about the plane accident.

Corporate Greed is not Engineering Error
true
Neither is making a plane more dangerous, as was the case with Turkish Airlines just some weeks before the Paris crash.
Reminded me the story about the flight of United Airlines 811. The same problem with the laggedg door and the door construction looked similar
Except there was no cover-up.
WATCHING THESE AIR DISASTERS, I AM COMMITTED NEVER TO TAKE ANOTHER PLANE.
If you See an car accident you are committed to not take a car anymore
I used to fly all the time in the 70's. I never fly at all anymore and have not in about 25 years.
@@NikD7 You have not far to fall from a car. 30,000 feet is a long way down.
That reassure me! I wouldn't want to fly with passengers like you.... I prefer learners ;-)
@@nancywhitaker5096 Falling 300 ft or 30000 feet is the same thing. Neither falling nor driving fast ever killed anyone. But a fast stop from either condition certainly will. The chance of dying per hour spent in a car is way higher than per hour spent in a plane. Finally, since most crashes happen at landing or takeoff 95% of people involved in an airplane crash survive (only 80% for non-commercial general aviation however). These events are so very rare that youtubers run out of things to talk about. I have heard separate videos individually dedicated to each and every one of these crashes... This one is interesting because it draws a common thread through them.
Brand New Brand New Mayday! Enjoy watching, but Truly scared to Fly anymore. 😨 Just goes to show, Life is precious.❤
I was never afraid to fly, until I started watching these videos. I get where you are coming from. My husband says, "just stop watching them!!" I can't. Ive seen all 19 seasons of Mayday Air Disasters....lol Its intriguing I can"t stop .watching. When a new one comes out, I'm watching, before any thing else...lol ....Probably a sickness, huh?..lol
PLEASE when making these type of sensational videos and films stop adding such unpleasant noise competing with the narrator's voice. Listeners do not need to be wanged out with such unpleasant loud and background noise.
Wanged out :) lol... NUMBER WANG!
I didn't notice the background noise or sounds but what does really really bother me is when they put the hand signers up beside some official speaking. It is so distracting , that I can't listen to what the speaker is saying and my head hurts. I have to shut it off. This is when they have CC and all the speaking is converted to text for those who are deaf. No one needs the hand signers any longer. They are old technology.
To me these hand signers are like listening to an English speaker with another language like Chinese loudly broadcasting at the same time. Try to listen to two languages at the same time. Sometimes you do hear this in a translated documentary or old movie.

People have to remember, this video is about design failures. The one constant in aircraft accidents, is that AIRCREW ERROR has ALWAYS been the highest reason for crashes, by far. So, this video, is a drop in the ocean. The worst accident in history, Tenerife, was aircrew error.

Because it's the most likely cause. There was even a suicidal pilot who crashed deliberately wasn't there?
the first few flights I took as a child were all on DC10 Airplanes, after the crashed had happened. I never gave it a second thought. 👍👍 Great video
What gets me is sometimes it's a small thing that brings the plane down. Might be where a mechanic doesn't put the washer on, so the bolt will drop.
The thing is that the airline manufactures like Boeing and Airbus have very clear, well designed and detailed sychmatics for Airlines to follow during maintenance. Down to the very bolt and even what pressure it should be tightened too. The problem arises when the airlines take short cuts at the cost of grater profits for them
British Airways Flight 5390. A window held on with bolts that were just a fraction off in size, so minor that the maintenance person couldn't visually tell the difference. Luckily everyone survived due to masterful flying by the First Officer. Even the Captain, who had been ripped halfway out of the plane, survived. Something that you'd think would be incredibly minor could have killed everyone on board.
@@silentservant_ And human error, which is equally common.
@@silentservant_ It's less than 2 months since a brand new liner lost a door plug due to missing bolts from the factory. Generally yes it's maintenance issues and the airline does that but factory issues do exist. Especially McDonnell and later Boeing.

Very sad disaster to the families who lost lives. Almighty rest their souls in internal peace.
Require passenger aircraft cargo doors to be like the exit doors. Have Cargo planes be able to secure the cockpit cabin with a safety system if you have to have a outward type door system!
It also amazes me why the flight and voice recorders are not made to float when there is a crash or inflate a large baloon to indicate their location more easily.
They'd float away... I think they're happy with the design system as is?

I was on holiday on long Island when this happened and i remember not being allowed to go near the beach. It was cordoned off because of the crash. Rip 😢😢
When did this happen actually.

wow Tripple 7 Safety history is remarkable...13 years without a single accident up to 2008, and still the 2008 accident, no lives were lost...extraordinary!.
"The need to make money" - Well, some money? Yes. But not the greedy kind of money that everyone has been after for a long time, almost everywhere in every company in the world. Lives should be worth more than greed

Makes one feel all warm and fuzzy about trusting any planes
I used to work doing weight and balance for eastern airlines.
Figuring out where to put cargo, bags, amount of fuel for flight for round trip on short haul flights, wind direction , runway, flaps settings and centre of gravity. My favourite was airbus airplanes.
Always made sure my numbers were correct before releasing the flight.
Used to get American flight from Chicago to handle it while on the ground.
It was a big hassle to work those flights. They were DC10.
"It's caused by some sort of a bomb, obviously".
FBI spokesman. 👎
Some say he was right... The investigation of this crash was very messy and there are a lot of alternative spins on it, due to the official narrative's inconsistencies.
It is amazing that they can reconstruct planes from wreckage.
Indeed
These individual crashes are horrific and the loss of life incalculable, but when you think of the who knows how many millions of passengers who’ve been safely flown from the beginning of civilian flights, the total numbers of people killed pale in comparison.
you must be fun at parties
The loss of life isn’t incalculable, they check the pax manifests and count the dead.
You cannot justify the design fault by quoting the number of successful flights, that is a senior management argument. I empathize with the designers, I worked on the design teams of several aircraft, civilian and military.
There is No passenger falling out of a plane. No idea why this is in the title.
It’s mentioned at 16 minutes.
@Chew1964 the two rows of seats.. I don't remember the nationally being mentioned though...
The 6 passengers from the explosive decompression cause by the cargo door latch failing.
@@barbarachambers7974are you trying to say "nationality"? Why? Nobody claimed what nationality passengers who fell out of the plane in the rows of seats even are. First you claim nobody falls out so you have "no idea" why thats even in the title. Now you say you don't remember their NATIONALITY being mentioned but that's because it WASN'T mentioned & you are the only one bringing it up. Zero clue how you failed to understand the title BUT....."Turkish Airlines" is obviously the name of the AIRLINE not the country those dead passengers you think never fell out came from. Read headline one word at a time and listen from 15:30-16:30 in the video about the multiple passengers on this Turkish Airlines flights who fell out and were found multiple miles away from the crash....
Watch the whole video, it’s about more than one aircraft. It is a bad title.
I have always found it strange that no one has ever been found to be accountable.
Excellent investigation and narration...
Inadequate maintenance is NOT an engineering error.
I remember when flying in a DC10, was risky.. 😕

After reading so many other comments about technical flaws and failures overlooked by engineers and safety checks, I couldn't help but laugh at yours.😂

Beautifully done documentary
23:41 recently Boeing airliner had its door fly off mid air. Recently media undercover journalists interviewed engineers working in Boeing, who said they didn’t trust flying with Boeing aircraft. That is huge.
If it's not Jonathan Aris, I'm not watching.
He is my favourite too. .
I was electrician more than 25 years ago & this message will not be nothing new for you,but from time to time is good to remember the basics. In electromotor winding we use the silicone wire's(we called it's S/F wires) silicone isolation is soft& we put over its glas isolating buzzer to protect the wire of mechanical damage.Both isolation exposed in open fire don't burns,goes in dust but don't burns. In house installation exist the rule: low voltage,signalization,indicating instalation ( telphone,antenna.....) must be away from power instalation minimum 10 centimeters because the electromagnetic field in power wires has influence on signal in signalization wires.
The DC10 the engine fell of due the mounting cracks. The blame was put on the airline but they didn’t say why. Were the mountings supposed to be checked for cracks but weren’t?
Airline to blame because they used a sloppy maintenance procedure that cracked the engine pylons. And yes, they failed to check their work. Continental Airlines did the same thing, but they CHECKED their pylons afterwards and found cracks. Unfortunately they didn't share that info with anyone else.
That would be in the designers or builders official "CHECK-LIST" Most likely the designers. So, there IS a paper trail.
Unfortunately because of all of the failures, that is why our science of flight is so much safer today than it ever has been. It’s only going to get better until the next time. Then they learn again.
Because a lot of regulations are written in blood.

Tell that to Boeing.
As passengers there is nothing we can do to anticipate or avoid dying in a plane crash. We are in the hands of the engineers and ultimately the abilities of the pilots.
Really great information, but working in the aviation industry myself I need to ask the question why Boeing keep putting defective A/C on the market! It seems like the lessons learned have disappeared by magic.
We all heard about the Boing shortcuts from that whistleblower who recently made "suicide"!
The most devastating indictment of the slipshod engineering of the DC-10 I’ve seen yet.
The DC-10 not only had an inherently unsafe cargo door, but MD violated every precept of redundancy and fail-safe design. A single point of failure resulted in catastrophic loss. No pressure vents to prevent the floor collapse during explosive decompression. No check valves to prevent hydraulic fluid loss. Positioning fluid lines and control cables such that they can all be severed at one go by shrapnel. A totally unairworthy shitbox that should never have been certified to fly.
The DC-10 apologists continue to blame the baggage handler or bad maintenance when the truth is staring them in the face.
DC-10 apologists forget that it shouldn't be *possible* for baggage handlers to mess up a plane that bad.
Unfortunately it often takes tragedy to force redesign of flawed engineering. That was definitely an example. The DC-10 went on to fly several decades of service. In the 1980s and 90s I was a passenger on the DC-10 to and from Hawaii where I lived (2 engine aircraft were not allowed at the time for that overwater route) and in my experience it was a comfortable ride.
BUT, they only appear to have done this in a limited number of systems. In many areas they over-designed, which is an interesting paradox.

My sister REFUSES to fly overseas due to this flight. She was suddenly stricken with an intense fear of flying over the ocean. It was that she was taking French, and a high school French class was on it.
This headline is absolutely confounding and trying to hurt Turkish Airlines, which happens to have an excellent record. You should make the headlines like "Engineering Errors in Aviation History".
You are absolutely right.. This is a malicious publication!
I have question. What if we have a massive EMF attack what will happen to airplanes on auto pilot? Will they be able to go back to manual controls of would they all crash?
I don't know what they are talking about @30:00+.? The fuel tanks ALWAYS HAVE AN EXPLOSIVE mixture in them especially gasoline which becomes a vapor you can smell in the air at below freezing(32F). That fuel liquid gets used up on a long trip so there is always a bomb under the plane. It is no different than the 1972 Ford Pinto(when rear ended the car explodes especially when the tank is half full or less) Which ALWAYS happens. The half a tank of fuel. The other half is explosive vapor. It is the vapor that the engine burns, not liquid fuel. Kerosene or diesel works in the same way. (Vapor dude, vapor) though kerosene or diesel vapor is much less explosive as it needs more heat just to ignite. (I used to throw lit matches into an open vat of fuel from a distance. Yeah matches would go out several times before they lit the fuel fumes...if it was kero or diesel. Gasoline...if I stood downwind from the fuel and could smell it...THAT WAS TOO CLOSE to the fuel...if it was gasoline...as I would also catch on fire as the clothing & hair also held in the fumes. Not stuff to play with. Even at temperatures say 0 F. If you can smell fuel then that is vapor.
Seems like they should build the planes with whatever they built those voice recorders out of, those boxes survive everything every time the planes crash.
Anyone seeing the Fitspresso ads here, note the Russian labels on the food packaging in the video. Very sus.
Changes in air safety is offen written in the blood of those who DIED.
Greed of companies and their people. Period.
