- PART 2 | After Flight 811’s cargo door tears off -taking five rows of seats and nine passengers with it - the pilots battle the crisis. Captain Cronin dives to a lower altitude so that he and the passengers can breathe. The flight is 15 minutes from Honolulu and losing altitude. No one knows if they can make the landing. Meanwhile, flight attendant Laura Bretlinger prepares the passengers for a possible ditching in the Pacific. Tension runs high as the severely damaged 747 makes its final approach to the Honolulu airport. Captain David Cronin and crew manage to land the plane with an enormous gaping hole in its side. The flight crew evacuates over 300 people in seconds.

not sure if any one else has an issue but the narrators voice has been low this episode and seems the other noises susch as engines and trucks have been upped a lot
"Probably the best landing I ever made" God Bless You Captain Dave.
I am extremely sad to learn that Captain David Cronin had passed in October of 2010. RIP
RIP captain Cronin
RIP Captain David Cronin (-/\-)
No, he passed in 2010 at the age of 81.
These pilots are heros. Hope all the passengers realize that.
Kind of an abrupt ending. I have watched another version of this where NTSB figured out what went wrong. In case you don't see that one, the cargo door latches were designed incorrectly and never latched tightly enough. Sadly, less than a year earlier another plane had the same thing happen but that flight crashed killing everyone. The company had been given a warning and told the part needed to be replaced but had put it off both because it would mean taking too many planes out of service and the expense of installing a newly-designed latch. Unfortunately, the NTSB can only issue "recommendations", they have no legal teeth to insist they be done. After this accident all 747's were grounded until the repairs were made. RIP to those who flew down still attached to their seats. Although they would have passed out from oxygen starvation long before they hit the ground, it would have been a particularly terrifying way to die.
This EXACT same scenario played out with the DC-10’s decades earlier. Cargo door latches were a shitty design, blew off in flight causing explosive decompression and partial collapse/disintegration of the airframe. No grounding order was given, just a gentlemen’s agreement to get it fixed. Well of course that didn’t happen so more people had to die for the problem to get fixed properly.
yeah this is part 2 of 3 if you didn't know
Well, not quite, it was found engineers for Turkish Airlines had known about the problem _and_ the solution, but just falsified maintenance records to say they'd made the changes to the door when they hadn't. But that was the DC-10, not the 747.
This is part of an episode.
I thought that was a different flight with McDonnell Douglas DC 10s
A testament to the engineered marvel that is the 747 as well as to the Captain & Crews education, training and dedication to their profession.
I am not sure we have that anymore
Also...pretty sure the Flight Engineer is played by Bill Dow, who played Dr. Lee on Stargate! :D
“That was my next concern; that we weren’t going to stop…”
Call me insensitive but I really don’t see much point in talking to folks about what they thought/feared was going to happen.
The cc on here works great .
It's so hard to hear certain parts of the scenes on the place because the narration is too quiet
Simple solution: Make the doors slide, like on a 'mini-van'. This way you get the clearance of a door that opens outwards, while having the safety of a 'plug-style' door.

WHAT!? CANT HEAR YOU! SPEAK UP.
By the grace of God we made it
You were on board?
Is that the same God that failed to follow up on getting a known problem fixed? Or the one who allowed the problem to rip people out of the plane and let them fall, conscious, for several minutes and then land in the ocean.
By the grace of God we made it. Answers it all. The captain being a believer is always a good thing 👍🙂
Really? That's ridiculous.
I'm confident God had a special seat beside Him waiting for Captain Cronin when he made his final journey.
@Chuck Yeager What does his religion have to do with it? It's ridiculous. Religious people suffer and die just like everyone else.
@@atheistmecca971 yeah, of course. But they have great support in faith. Makes hard times easier to handle when they believe in a higher power. If God exists or not doesn’t really matter.
@@eirikrsland1399 Well when it impacts other people it does matter. But I know life is hard and some people need a fairy tale to believe in to make it through. I understand that but like I said, it's a problem because it effects other people.
Has anyone considered these cargo doors be mandated to be plug doors ? Safety always costs profit, but legitimate regulation insures the cost of safety gives no-one an advantage at the expense of the public.
Hamangas hole? 😂😂
I wonder..WHY SO MANY BUTTONS ON AN AIRPLANE??🤔
Friends?
Here is another important question...why so many buttons on a shirt?
@@tugbankert6581 On a shirt it makes sense, but NOT on an airplane! How many functions can each button have??? I can't understand that.
@@minivegana6516 it's not all buttons. It's a combination of gauges, switches, and buttons. They read ever single component of the airplane so the flight crew knows what is going on.
@@tugbankert6581 Yesssss, BUT STILL, TOO MANY!!!!
