- When the captain of Air Illinois Flight 710 ran into electrical trouble on October 11, 1983, the prudent thing would have been to head back to the airport. But he decided to continue-not the first reckless call he’d made in his career.

I have refused to fly with 3 pilots in my 33 years of being a pilot. All 3 are dead.
How ? Why? What happened??
As have I, but only two.
@@vandalsavage6743 forreal i wana know too lol
@@vandalsavage6743 all 3 died flying in bad weather, 2 of them at the same time.
@@vandalsavage6743 some dumb thing like a shooting or something
Or they died of age lol but im just guessing
I read the NTSB report of the crash and this captain, Les Smith, was also known to be a one-man operation who often believed his way was the best way. He was known to get angry at Flight and ground personnel when they didn’t do things the way he believed they should be done or weren’t up to his standards.
The 1st Officer, Frank Tudor, may have not been very assertive and forceful, but the report on him was much more positive in that he was always ahead of the plane and knew the systems and regulations. He would even research stuff on planes that he didn’t know.
There are other cases where pilots tend to make reckless decisions. The most infamous among them was KLM Flight 4805's Captain Van Zanton.
Tenerife Accident, yeah because he's in a hurry despite the FO telling him that they dont have take off clearance and the engineer, who got flinched by the heterodyne of the ATC and Pan-am pilot also tried to intervene, but both became too reluctant to stop the captain. Pan-am got lucky, but all in KLM are dead
How about the Captain and first officer of Santa Barbara Airlines Flight 518. Their overconfidence got them lost in fog and they hit a mountain. Because they rushed their checklists, they took off with inoperable navigation systems.
On Aloha Island Air Flight 1712, the captain was known to be reckless and careless with his flying as well. It eventually caught up when he crashed into a mountain and killed everyone onboard.
@@Powerranger-le4up similar to accidents where they skipped some checklists about extending their flaps: northwest 255, lapa 3142, delta 1141, and spanair 5022, even american 1420 which the pilots forgot to activate their brakes and spoilers
That one made me angry. It was a completely avoidable incident.
Roughly 20 minutes after takeoff, the crew shut off excess lights in the cabin, but had failed to reduce overall electrical load on the aircraft's battery. Ultimately the battery was depleted, resulting in the failure of the aircraft's flight instruments, and communication and navigation radios
Here’s how I know I’ve been watching these docs too much: the rogue captain in this is the same guy that played ATC Walter White in the episode about Aeromexico flight 498
Harharhar
no way rly?
No it’s not the two men are completely different
@@TheflyingKipper-gl8oj Yes it is the very same actor.
@@lizpurr8402 I believe you.
I'm glad the first officer spoke out about the captian he wasn't a good pilot but damn Ron schleede has really aged in this episode 😳
actually no he hasn't. you just are not an ACI die hard fan and watched every episode and watched him change all the way through.
@@louiswendt4371 yea ok Mr know it all have you actually seen him doing Japan airline 123 crash or do you assume he never did
the guy i was named after, my dad told me he told the guy to follow him as they were going down,hit by anti aircraft fire in ww 2 --the guy never liked to told what to do--he crashed, died--my dad crashed in a apple orchard and the crew,him, walked away--dad had fantastic night vision,sharp eyesight---makes the difference sometimes
Take too many risks and eventually it'll catch up to ya!
Seems to me like this captain lived his life in the "fast lane!"
And look where it got him.....
6 feet under!
It's just sad that his selfish fast lane manner took the lives of all the innocent people who put their trust and faith into him to get them safely to their destination!
A sense of risk-taking and adventure can bring joy to your life, but if taken too far, you will certainly be playing poker with the reaper with your soul as the jackpot. As for the pilot, he was quite a champion until he made one wrong decision.
1:48 *This is the scene I really really hate soo much!!!*
This is scary, some renegade running the plane and you're in the back sleep/watching Netflix/eating..
What episode and season is this? Id love to watch the full episode
Good video
Man, the captain on this accidental flight is literally average, since he's reckless and rushing. Not only that, the ADI also needs power and because the power is out, the symbol is angled a bit. The FO did tell the captain to bank in the opposite direction hoping it will fix the position of the symbol, but it stays like that, and because they're flying at night, there's no visible horizon.
It's a good idea for pilots to have a clue about things like weather, electrical systems, and general information about how airplanes work.
Time isn't on your side....tick-tock
Pilots like this guy should be banned from flying forever
He is.
Flying through bad weather just for the sake of on-time arrival is really a bad idea. It puts more airmen and passengers at more risk of further accidents.
0:20 She looks like actress Glenn Close.
that's me in flight simulator.
haha aren’t we all😂
You do not HAVE to listen to the Capt. When it's a safety of flight command. I don't.
Nice
Good clip but would like to see the full documentary. Does anyone have a link for a RUclips video on this, if it's available to watch?
🤦♂It can be watched on Paramount+ because it is illegal to post copyrighted material on RUclips which is something people did when it came to episodes from Air Disasters (called Air Crash Investigation in other countries) but a large amount of them were removed for breaking copyright law between 2017-2018. I own the season this appears in by buying it from Amazon with the price between $20-$25 due to tax.
@@animegeek2488 Thank you
It’s also on Disney plus
@@dorintic8915 Not in the United States because National Geographic no longer had the rights to the show after 2009 which resulted in the Weather Channel getting the rights the following year and the Smithsonian Channel got the rights in 2011.
I usually watch the full episodes on Facebook.
Aviation wasn't his industry he should have been a F1 driver
This one made me angry just like with the Tenerife disaster! This idiot was playing poker with the grim reaper and his life was the prize. Reckless behavior eventually catches up to you. In this case it took the deaths of innocents who trusted him to keep them safe. Completely avoidable and senseless deaths!
I often watch this show but always change the channel when that doofus pillow guy commercial comes on.
Bro thought he was a ryanair pilot
What episode and season is this from
Season 22, Episode 08. It's called "Pitch Black".
to make to stop
It looks like we have some weather? Weather is omnipresent. Duh. What KIND of weather? The idea that SOME WEATHER means bad weather is so lazy foolish.
So they landed safely and everyone was ok?
no
No. The idiot caused the crash and everyone on board was killed. This guy had a tendency to make irrational decisions and ir caught up to him! He took everyone on board to their deaths in the process.
😂
flashback that air crash investigation season 22 stolen
Certain personality traits perhaps should not be permitted to be pilots or work at jobs where lots of people’s lives depend on you.
🇵🇰 I 🇵🇰 will 🇵🇰 become 🇵🇰 a 🇵🇰 pilot 🇵🇰 in 🇵🇰 PIA 🇵🇰😘
So ???????
Tashfeen nobody ask
Good luck bro!
Good luck !
@@Abdulrehman-vf3vn Shut it
dream 1:01 reality 1:27
They should be fighter jet pilot, not civilian pilot.
First
🤦♀Not the place to make this comment.
Last
I too would have shown off, if I had such a pretty girl next to me in the ‘cockpit’
Selfed imposed pressure is sexy girls sitting next to him.
The girl talks here seems having a crush on the first officer. She is mad with the pilot for killing her sweetheart.
As a rule of thumb, you never come to judgments based on comments of colleagues specially girls. 😂
Numbskull
really good advisr
If you ever get behind the yoke or joystick of an aircraft, I wouldn't be surprised that you wouldn't come back after takeoff.
Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved, John 3:16, KJV..
