My Dad was a WW2 Ami Spitfire pilot , for RCAF , then RAF . He barely survived training in Canada , let alone mind - bending combat against his Deutsch cousins . He would NEVER have allowed my 2 brothers or me to sit in an Airliner cockpit for 1second .
My partner's uncle was a Battle of Britain pilot. He died. I gather their average life expectancy was just five weeks. 'We gave our today for your tomorrows.' They were so young and so brave.

I've read for 50 + years that flying is STATISTICALLY safer than driving a car . And I know that these pilots are very, very smart & brave professionals. But as a Passenger, one has NO control . As a car driver, I have a LOT of control , using my Own intelligence, common sense , and patience for time ... at much lower speed .
What's your point? You're safer flying than driving. That's a fact, backed up by data. That you have control over something doesn't make it safer. You could be going 10km/h and still be hit by some maniac driving at 150km/h.
So it's your psychology which is flawed 😄 Anyone can make all the right moves and still perish in a car wreck 😵 Worse than that logical oversight: You'd actively sacrifice ACTUAL safety..... for the ILLUSION of safety?? 🤨 Congratulations! Your survival instincts are genuinely lower than that of a potato.
Yeah I get it you feel you have control when you drive but you have none with respect to other drivers, crap coming off of improperly tied down loads, weather etc, some control but so much outside of it. Yea flying is crazy safe, heard a stat could fly every day for 19k years before an accident and then the odds are you would survive it.
I take it when the pilot of the DHL plane said okay evacuate he was talking about themselves. Mind you there was no parcels killed or injured in the incident. Love watching the battle between man versus gravity.
I feel sorry for pilots I really do because in a situation like all these they know they are responsible to care for their passengers even if things go wrong mechanically… like when they are trying to lift a plane higher into the air to avoid people in houses and keep passengers safe the anxiety and stress they must go though it’s sooo awful
One thing about de-icing fluid is it smells like shit. It is noxious and may even be toxic. At the Portland Maine airport it smells so foul at the surrounding hotels it's sickening.
We had😮 deic😅I ng in Minnesota w😅inter last year 2022.&2023. They took 1 hours+ another application. The stuff worked well. We made it to Florida with out incident.
He failed to understand what the western artificial horizon was telling him. Like many other ex-Soviet pilots (most of whom stayed in Russia) he had to either transfer to a Western plane and carry passengers on it or lose his livelihood. All because of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
There are lightning rods(static wicks,) that dissipate lightning when it strikes on trailing edge of wings. They are sharp like needles. When they are attacked or burned maintenance crew replace them.
I love these videos because they only reaffirm the fact that I will never fly. I have made it 63 years without setting foot on a plane, and there's no reason to start now. Ok, I am about to start getting the comments that flying is safer than driving and I am sure that is true. But if you are flying in a storm and being bounced around like clothes in a laundry dryer, you're just SOL. But if you are in a car, you can pull over and wait for the storm to pass. You can't do that on a plane.
Lol, if they showed a programme about car crashes you might think differently! I used to be terrified of flying. But just doing it again and again pretty much gets rid of it. No bad thing not flying, though. The climate really needs everyone to rethink how often they fly. I have decided that I never need to do it again, I simply can’t justify it
@clareshaughnessy2745 I have watched programs about car crashes. What's the one they always show in school that are actual accidents with the bodies still in them? Signal 63 or something like that. Plus, I used to work in law enforcement and saw some doosies. But if you are in a plane and something goes wrong, you are SOL. There's not a thing in this world that you can do except rely on the pilots. I know this doesn't really make my argument as there isn't one. I know that flying isn't as bad as I fear it to be. But I am absolutely horrified of it. Like I said, I made it 63 years without setting foot on a plane. I don't intend to start now.
@@beckywinkler6464 this is even more silly, while I know that, statistically, most accidents happen on take off or landing, I’m not even slightly worried while I’m on the ground. That’s because it’s not the death thing that I worry about, what I’m frightened of is fear. It’s the terror of being aware while the aeroplane plummets to the ground, the horrible fear you would feel when you hear stories of the aeroplane turning UPSIDE DOWN before they crash. So I do know exactly how you feel and I know it’s a feeling you can’t be reasoned out of. What did it for me finally was falling in love with someone from the USA (I’m a Brit). We met here in Britain, but when he went home I would fly out to see him. So I was doing long haul flights and you just can’t keep up being frightened for 8 or 10 hours at a time. I’m still frightened in rough weather, though. But like I say, I’m 60 now, I married and divorced my American and now I’m so contented back in Wales I don’t intend ever going anywhere ever again- unless there’s a VERY good reason
@clareshaughnessy2745 I understand. That's why I never moved over 2 hours from my parents. I have all I need around me without having to fly. My daddy swore up and down he would never fly. We are from SW Georgia, but Daddy would go at least once a year to Richmond, VA, to see his biological mother. On one such trip, someone t-boned them. If you don't know what I mean, someone ran a stop sign and hit the vehicle square in the middle. It was going to cost a fortune to have a towing service go get it, and my brother-in-law owns a towing company. He was only going to charge gas. Well, Mama talked Daddy into taking a flight out of Atlanta bound for Richmond. After that, he was like, "OK, I did it, but I am done. Don't ask again. " But my best friend is the same way about taking a cruise. She said she has to have land in sight or she is not getting on a cruise ship. I guess we all have our fears.
Still love telling people just I cured my minor flight anxiety binge watching this series. They all look at me like I’m crazy, but honestly after learning how things worked and seeing how far aviation has come I feel safe (so long as I’m not on a boeing plane 😬)
Hats off to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board for solid leadership and transparency in international air transportation policy and accident investigation.
For the most part. There was a snafu regarding united 811 where the door blew off and the NTSB blamed the ground crew for not locking the door. The family suspected a cover up because it was a boeing plane and the lead investigator had worked for boeing. They hired a company to find that door, in the ocean, and they actually found the damn thing and it was in the locked position. Meaning boeing was at fault. The investigator claims he went where the evidence took him. I tend to disagree with him on that because while he had no evidence it was a design flaw he didn't have any evidence the ground crew forgot to like it either. He didn't have the door. He picked one. Why not list them both? They did that with 737 rudder issue before they figured out what was going on so what stopped him from doing that?Oddly enough it was the investigator on here who was talking about how sorry he was for boeing when jal 123 went down. That being said that's the only time that's happened in the history of the NTSB and they almost always get it right. Also there was a passenger on that plane that was a aviation accident lawyer and was going on vacation for the first time and he represented every single passenger in their case which was unfortunate for boeing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_811

I hope people realize that these Smithsonian videos are incomplete and merge into the next crash without completing the preceding one and with little clue that they have moved on. You can find more detailed videos that fill important info, findings and recommendations to improve safety. With a bit more attention to finishing one story before moving on would benefit all and a better reputation for Smithsonian and wouldn’t take much effort. I find it a shame that they choose to leave you dangling and without prelude delve into the next incomplete story. I am disappointed in the lack of quality.
I find this channel, and many other channels with lots of subscribers - are now just compiling videos that are "shorts" of videos they already produced, or filled with random sh*t ...to make it past that over an hour long, mark. They make waaaay more money from their advertisers, once they get that 60 minute mark. I just watched a video that was supposed to be 3 hrs and 15 minutes in length, but it was just under 20 minutes of total video, and the rest was a blank screen with background noise of a thunderstorm.

Agreed, it is pretty disorienting when you first start them…I feel they’ve all blended together…Idek why I’m watching this. I’ve been on planes all my life and refuse to fly these days. Too many comin out of the sky too fast for me. One of my last flights I thought was certainly going to end it a tragedy. We were in Wyomingand it was the roughest flight I had ever experienced. Even the flight attendants looked nervous. I’ve always looked to them for guidance. It was scary. After that I flew once when my now grown kids were babies which was terrible esp bc I’m a smoker. I told myself never again, and I haven’t…yall be safe out and up there! Take care!
Hugo smacked South Carolina, I had family that rode it out in Charleston. Still have VHS tape from the storm and aftermath. I never knew there was an issue with a NOAA plane. Great stuff!
The computer should make a voice announcement when someone makes an adjustment like that. Several of the crashes in this series happened because not everyone was aware a setting was changed.
The bottom line is no radar no flying. It's as simple as that it's just not worth it but then I guess it depends on who it is and where they want to go. I have listened to endless hours almost every single plane crash available on RUclips and 99.99% of the time they can be prevented. That's what makes it even worse.
Did they have less plane crashes before computers were doing everything, or was there more, because now adays I don't think pilots know how to fly a plane, they're just know how to work computer fairly well,,,,,you reckon ?
You can fly without a radar. One just has to remember this. The more moving parts you add to something such as a car, plane, or any passenger mode of transport, the more problems you will encounter. Just like the cars in the 70s and 80s were very basic. It had an engine, spark plugs, distributor, carbi and radiator. They were very easy to work on and you had plenty of space under the hood to move around. Looking at cars now they are totally electronic have hundreds and thousands of moving parts and electricals and when something goes wrong, you dont know what it is or its hard to problem solve because of all the variables and you have to take it in to someone that then puts it on diagnostic machines like they are vehicle surgeons. The same goes with computers. Very easy to use and fix early in the days, now you cant find a fix for the most basic issues like typing in the search bar. Everything has become so overcomplicated and technical that there is a guarantee there are gonna be problems and issues and humans are simply not that intelligent enough to cope with it. How did the pilots ever manage to fly those old unstable planes back when aviation was first invented. They were better pilots than those of today because modern pilots learn the basics but then their careers are pretty much all autopilot flying with everything being computerized and they rely on that. Convenience and laziness is the motto in the modern age.
Wow that leaky pipe by the rolls rouse engine is so worrying. Can’t even do a pen test on pipes which are in such a vulnerable place. Daym I’m flying soon too :(
On a flight from New York toChicago I asked to change my seat because of a shrill whistling coming from the fuselage .. They drugged me and I woke up to a bomb dog sniffing the seats fell asleep again and woke up in an empty plane ..
Man those episodes which show the crews and people screaming as the plane eats shit were some wild stuff. I haven't seen episodes today but from what I saw in the video of the 15/16 season crashes I didn't see that reenactment.
-----------T I M E S T A M P S---------------- 0:00:01 air moorea flight 1121 0:02:35 british european airways flight 548 0:10:21 hughes air west flight 706 0:17:36 crossair flight 498 0:22:46 air florida flight 90 0:29:24 american airlines flight 587 0:36:06 noaa flight 42
So I'm aware these are actors but I chuckle every time I see that FedEx pilot land the plane like a boss while his co pilots wrestled the guy in the back. The only thing missing was a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth. "Yeah....coming in hot for an emergency landing because this guy and his hammer picked the wrong crew to mess with. Better have the paramedics waiting for him. Over." I've never in my life seen a more confident man.
The pilot flying is not the one who is communicating through the radio. Learn something about the aviation before you start making movies about air disasters...
Interesting that if the pilots don’t survive the crash, the investigation more times than not concludes “pilot error” is the cause. If they survive and can explain what they experienced, the airlines may have to take the blame.
You are right about this. A good exemple is flight 587 of American Airllines. They blame the pilot for rough handling the controls which he actually did. But this rough handling should never be the cause off tearing of the stabilizer. As a retired pilot and mechanic I am convinced this was a design and by that a construction failure of the aircraft.
So.. if the pilots are to blame.. does that mean the insurance company pays the damages instead of the Airline or the Aircraft maker ? .Now I understand why so eager to blame pilots
They actually changed it to where there always has to be at least two people at one time. Which is why they put 3 and sometimes 4 I believe. They changed it after a s u i c I d a l pilot locked the other one out when he left to use the restroom and flew the plane into the side of a mountain. THAT is when they changed protocol to where there has to be at least 2 people in the cockpit at all times. I guess so if one starts losing their 💩.
The full story with the 747 is more horrifying than ehat this video describes, everyone knew they were gonna die, for 90mins they went up and down and ppl were writing final letters to their loved ones before the crash.. how horrific 😢😢😢
At no point should the pilot be able to rip the tail off. He didn't move his rudder "violently". The Rudder ratio mechanism was not operating properly.
Oh man, that last one. I hope they recognized his efforts for what they were, and kudos to him for holding out for so long. Ghost plane is a terrifying concept.

United flight 585, in sight. Turbulence at airport. Airplane spins out of control. Crash.
The computer should make a voice announcement when someone makes an adjustment like that. Several of the crashes in this series happened because not everyone was aware a setting was changed.
1:38:20 damn bro seriously drank the water like "yup just a average monday"
The bottom line is no radar no flying. It's as simple as that it's just not worth it but then I guess it depends on who it is and where they want to go. I have listened to endless hours almost every single plane crash available on RUclips and 99.99% of the time they can be prevented. That's what makes it even worse.
what a shallow opinion
Did they have less plane crashes before computers were doing everything, or was there more, because now adays I don't think pilots know how to fly a plane, they're just know how to work computer fairly well,,,,,you reckon ?
You can fly without a radar. One just has to remember this. The more moving parts you add to something such as a car, plane, or any passenger mode of transport, the more problems you will encounter. Just like the cars in the 70s and 80s were very basic. It had an engine, spark plugs, distributor, carbi and radiator. They were very easy to work on and you had plenty of space under the hood to move around. Looking at cars now they are totally electronic have hundreds and thousands of moving parts and electricals and when something goes wrong, you dont know what it is or its hard to problem solve because of all the variables and you have to take it in to someone that then puts it on diagnostic machines like they are vehicle surgeons. The same goes with computers. Very easy to use and fix early in the days, now you cant find a fix for the most basic issues like typing in the search bar.
Everything has become so overcomplicated and technical that there is a guarantee there are gonna be problems and issues and humans are simply not that intelligent enough to cope with it.
How did the pilots ever manage to fly those old unstable planes back when aviation was first invented. They were better pilots than those of today because modern pilots learn the basics but then their careers are pretty much all autopilot flying with everything being computerized and they rely on that. Convenience and laziness is the motto in the modern age.
@@JamesStootsdefinitely more before. I’m pretty sure it’s like computerised cars, they are more safe but I wouldn’t want to be in one!
Rip😢😢😢😢😢😢 a lot of people
Thanks for uploading these, i'm strangley addicted 💗
me too
Me three😂❤@@jaymes1
Same
I have no NO NO desire to fly again. 2023
Sweet, less clutter
Good for her. Now, she won't have to be surrounded by a bunch of clutter who acts like a bunch of spoiled brats.
Again??
Ha!
You've never flown...
Wow that leaky pipe by the rolls rouse engine is so worrying. Can’t even do a pen test on pipes which are in such a vulnerable place. Daym I’m flying soon too :(
Did you survive ?
@@bardshitler3328 hahahahaa yes
@@bardshitler3328 I appreciate the concern haha
Does anyone know which episode the October 8 2001 plane crash in Milan Italy is on?
3:14 how did 2 people survive
NTSB investigates 'over 2000' air crashes a year!
literally watching this on a flight lmaoo
On a flight from New York toChicago I asked to change my seat because of a shrill whistling coming from the fuselage ..
They drugged me and I woke up to a bomb dog sniffing the seats fell asleep again and woke up in an empty plane ..
Man those episodes which show the crews and people screaming as the plane eats shit were some wild stuff. I haven't seen episodes today but from what I saw in the video of the 15/16 season crashes I didn't see that reenactment.
I feel less secure flying the more I watch those Air desastres!
@shawnstafford7809
As an Irishman friend of mine said, he wasn't afraid of flying, it was the possibility of crashing that bothered him.
FINALLY! Been waiting for this vid :)
Why in this clip Ethiopian 961 episode is in stereo,but in general smithsonian web page its in mono?
Fire, 23 people died onboard flight 797. Circuit breakers, cut electric to motor off.
Flight 1121 crashes unto Pacific Ocean. Unreal.
I cant imagine what you would think and feel on the way down
Wow….thank you 👍
Someone should be held accountable for that ....in the military
We lost Smithsonian in our last basic cable channel reduction. Spectrum bites.

Who is the narrator, I love his voice!?🫶🏻
you would enjoy the narrator in Forensic Files, especially how he says peanut butter cup.
In climbing why BEA flight reduce the power level before they reach wright altitude
These American flight crash programs are hyper cheesy and ridiculous but.... I eat it up.
Why tf am i watching this when I am flying to haneda this saturday lol
I do it all the time just hope it doesn't happen to us or be ready for it if it does.
On long haul flights they carry extra crew. To relieve each other. They take turns resting.
Its another easy day 😢
So I'm aware these are actors but I chuckle every time I see that FedEx pilot land the plane like a boss while his co pilots wrestled the guy in the back. The only thing missing was a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth. "Yeah....coming in hot for an emergency landing because this guy and his hammer picked the wrong crew to mess with. Better have the paramedics waiting for him. Over." I've never in my life seen a more confident man.
New fear unlocked 🔓: plane crashes at a 50/50 chance 😅😮
I havent flown in so long. I sure miss it.
0:07 Ha! "Twotter"... (RIP)
You are brave I could not watch one of these while on a plane
If only Boeing had moral standards.
They don't.
Name a better brand of that size. There aren't any.
The Soviet artificial horizon is a better design.
what's the music at 4:28?
The second one is like air 🇫🇷 flight 447 but on land
The pilot flying is not the one who is communicating through the radio. Learn something about the aviation before you start making movies about air disasters...
lightning dispersres around an aircraft not just hits and disables it
Interesting that if the pilots don’t survive the crash, the investigation more times than not concludes “pilot error” is the cause. If they survive and can explain what they experienced, the airlines may have to take the blame.
You are right about this. A good exemple is flight 587 of American Airllines. They blame the pilot for rough handling the controls which he actually did. But this rough handling should never be the cause off tearing of the stabilizer. As a retired pilot and mechanic I am convinced this was a design and by that a construction failure of the aircraft.
So.. if the pilots are to blame.. does that mean the insurance company pays the damages instead of the Airline or the Aircraft maker ? .Now I understand why so eager to blame pilots
Yup the airlines are most likely happy if they don't, avoid a lot of money.
I don’t get why that plane needs three people to fly it 😂😂
They actually changed it to where there always has to be at least two people at one time. Which is why they put 3 and sometimes 4 I believe. They changed it after a s u i c I d a l pilot locked the other one out when he left to use the restroom and flew the plane into the side of a mountain. THAT is when they changed protocol to where there has to be at least 2 people in the cockpit at all times. I guess so if one starts losing their 💩.
That chin-up form is textbook
6:23 So thats why i see a weird crash from a random plane from seing in the distance witth a spyglass
The full story with the 747 is more horrifying than ehat this video describes, everyone knew they were gonna die, for 90mins they went up and down and ppl were writing final letters to their loved ones before the crash.. how horrific 😢😢😢
I love 💞 with this program
I'm in love
Sadly most incidents are caused by humans being human.
Profound
American Aitlines Headquarters and training for Flight attendants are located in Dallas Texss.
Kill the music! It's overwhelming the narration
This is why I don't fly. Anxiety goes through the roof just thinking about it
At no point should the pilot be able to rip the tail off. He didn't move his rudder "violently". The Rudder ratio mechanism was not operating properly.
