Eastern Air Lines Flight 855 was an air incident near Miami, Florida on May 5, 1983. En route from Miami International Airport to Nassau International Airport, a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, registration N334EA, experienced the loss of all three engines. The flight crew succeeded in restarting one engine in time to safely land the aircraft at Miami International Airport.

I was a passenger on Flight 855 and still remember just about every minute of the terror we experienced. I wrote a poem (ballad) about it. It was definitely a life-changing event.
Glad you made it!
Greta C. Will you share your ballad, please?
Did you see the smoke coming from the engine?
Greta C. My mother was also on this flight. Definitely life changing.
Your pilots were idiots that endangered your life needlessly with stupid decisions.
Imagine the emotional roller coaster ride for passengers hearing they need to plan for essentially a crash out in the ocean, seeing the water below them gradually get closer and closer, then one engine starts and they land safely. That would be an incredibly traumatic plane ride! Safe, yes, but i wouldn't be surprised if some/many had nightmares afterward. A life changing event for some I bet. Glad it ended safely, and resulted in better maintenance and inspections.
I would probably be rather relieved. I would think to myself, "So, this is how it all ends for me, finally." There really is a horrible curiosity of how it will all end for me that has been eating away at me for years.
@I spamsalot Sadly, it consumes a lot of my free thinking. A very grand and unique adventure awaits. When will it be? What will happen to me? What will be the cause? Will it hurt? How long will the dying process be? How will my brain react to the enormous amounts of tryptamine, melatonin, seratonin, adrenalin? What happenes as my consciousness disappears into oblivion? Does it disappear into oblivion or go on? Does it reincarnate, eventually go to heaven or hell, disappear forever, become a ghost? If my consciousness disappears, how will it feel when it is slowly disappearing into nonexistence? Can it come back in another planet, animal, cosmos? The questions go on and an. I have absolutely no fear of death at all because of the overwhelming curiosity.
There were 172 people aboard, and about 171 of them were probably praying like they have never prayed before in their lives. I assume there was at least one atheist who may or may not have been praying!
@@AVB2 At least one of them was definitely not praying: my less-than-6-months-old nephew. Remarkably, he would (much) later go on to a career in maintenance working for a (different, obviously) major airline. It would be nice to think that looking back to this incident has informed his career on the need to do this job right, as apparently, he has.
In spite of this vid, and the aircrafts issues, ya gotta admit, the L-1011 was a great lookin airliner....
whoever disagrees must be crucified
Had the privilege of traveling on a ATA L-1011 flight to Hawaii when I was 4.
But the L-1011 was much, much better then the DC-10, which airlines actually preferred. Wonder what they thought when the O'Hare disaster occured and the 2 other major DC-10 crashes. bet they regretted that choice.
I agreed, I love it unique design like the tail engine. It is sad it retired
@@everettbruckerhoff6029 I know a handful of guys who flew the Lockheed and they all LOVED it. Especially the flight engineers. They said that the panel and systems were top notch. I was flying turboprops out of Newark in the late 80s and TWA and Eastern were both operating them at the time.
The pilots did an awesome job!
Wow, this one was particularly exciting. I really thought that it was all over. It must have been nice to hear "We'll be landing in Miami instead of crashing into the Atlantic Ocean. Have a nice day."
"No thanks to my incompetence."
@@billjenkins9492 : I think you mean the _maintenance crew's_ incompetence.
@@Milesco Beginning to think that "Bill Jenkins" (obviously a made-up-name: Otherwise he'd be dead in his burnt-out house by now, torched by YT watching neighbors, who simply detest trolls.) is one of the mechanics who got sacked for working on this plane?
@@billjenkins9492 huh?
@@billjenkins9492 Always-Always-Always take your prescription medication as directed by your doctor! Now, slowly, carefully get off the internet & call 911, the nice people there will come & help you 🙏
I have just discovered these vids. Very well done! As a CAP commander and advocate of all things aviation safety, these will be very useful in lessons for cadets and senior officers.
I was a Cadet in CAP in the mid sixties. Charlotte Cadet Squadron North Carolina Wing. Our squadron commander was then Major David Ellsworth who was promoted to Colonel over time. Best wishes.
These magnificent machines are only as good as those who operate and maintain them.
Raymond Parsley .... I couldn’t have said it better. Amen Bro.
I met the mechanic that left the o-rings out of the chip detectors. He’s retired now, but he worked up until the end of 2019. A good guy and a good wrench. He just made a mistake that nearly killed 300 people. It’s a great reminder to mechanics like me that perform maintenance every day to be diligent about our work. It only takes one mistake to kill a lot of people.
What’s his name then?
The flight attendant tells the passengers to prepare for ditching..."you can imagine the heads looking up with "What the F did she say?" expression.
Richard Mourdock I would of said before I bend over I want the damn rum bottle and coke now I’d rather die not feeling it
@@joerizoz1125 I’d pull out my Bible!
Uh, excuse me, flight attendant? FA: Yes? Umm can you go over the safety card again? FA: Doh!
THE LOCKHEED L-1011 TRISTAR WAS AN EXCELLENT PLANE, it's technology and innovation were ahead of it's time. It's landing guidance system were so advanced, Boeing and Airbus didn't have a comparable one untill 1989 and 1990 (respectively). Such a shame Lockheed discontinued civilian/ commercial avaition in order to only focus on military applications. But, Boeing was far bigger, richer and more competitive in the long run.
and now boeing has screwed the pooch! #737MaxKilledItself!
Unfortunately the less well-designed DC-10 made it to market earlier and captured most of the market -- and the market wasn't really large enough to support both airplanes, making it even more difficult for a latecomer.
ruclips.net/video/jkFYD7R_Xig/видео.html
Tim, the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 also had an automatic landing system. It was called PAFAM - Performance and Failure Assessment Monitor. Odd name I guess.
The Lockheed planes also costed more that also put of potential buyers
They were at 4,000ft and I was so happy he got that engine back on and made it back! It’s a miracle!
..no miracle ..just lucky.
@@doug.a.2665 I see what you mean...but I rather think that the crew & passengers might see things a bit differently. Mmm?
I was a Turbine engine repairman 68-B10 for several CH-47C, D and E model Chinook helicopters. ALL chip detectors that the military used came with already PRE-INSTALLED packings and o-rings... to prevent this sort of mishap. Civilian airlines should be held to the same standards.
Life... according to the military is MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRODUCT OR ECONOMICS!!!
Hats off to this outstanding flight crew for SAVING LIVES.
9:03 "Magnetic" Chip Detector...It's an electronic instrument that attracts ferromagnetic particles (mostly iron chips). It's used in aircraft engine oil chip detection systems. Chip detectors can provide early warning of an impending engine failure and greatly reduce the cost of an engine overhaul. Great video...Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for clearing that up. I was a bit puzzled at that point in the video.
I remember well, though, that drain plugs on car engines used to have a magnetic rod that served the same function.... at least to qualified mechanics and not just "Oil changers" as most are these days.
I suspect they'd be quite a few chips attached to the detectors after that ordeal. Full marks to the crew
It is not an instrument but rather a plug located on the engine accessorie gearbox with an associated light in the cockpit if ever it picks up metal particles.
But no Orings installed on them ?? Bad maintenance practices.
Matt, I am a retired Airline Mechanic and changed a few Chip detectors in my day. Just wanted to say that almost all Chip detectors require an O ring,,, common damn sense!
I haven't seen the flight engineer's station in a very long time! I didn't realize it was so, well, technical!! (I remember the first time I saw all those instruments and gauges on the ceiling of the cockpit/flight deck in a big jet -- I was in awe! Far more complicated than flying my small GA plane!). I love the L-1011 Tristar, she's a beautiful airship!
Excellent video. Sloppy maintenance. The crew deserved an air medal.
respect to the pilot 🤗🤗🤗
that wide turn left is exactly why this is the most perfectly executed reenactment source for aviation content ever, they do not blur any lines, ever or think viewers won't notice something like on most even tv when they recreate something and show a 737 but when cabin shots are shown its a md 80
Superb engine the RB2-11. Three spool design with a lot of built in redundancy. Brilliant airmanship by the flight crew. Captain's decision to shut down and preserve no2 engine was a masterstroke. It goes to show that three and four engined commercial aircraft are safer.
Finally engine 2 got a spotlight, it always the first engine to fail
Nothing beats a Tristar,,,,,,, so quiet, the flight deck so comfortable.
Wow I literally clapped and tears welled up in my eyes when the plane touched down and all passengers disembarked!
Jeez that was a close call. Bet them passenger seats needed a good scrub after that flight.
my favorite plane of all time, I was fortunate to get to fly on the L-1011 out of Miami just before Hurricane Andrew; winds were blowing the plane around like a kite...
That must have been the most satisfying Noise the Pilot ever heard in his life when that engine restarted
I really like those tristars sad they’re not around anymore.
Very well done, not to be lost here is the benefit from the use of the APU which was started to supply power to systems and permitted the repeated attempts at restart of the #2 engine. The APU and the fine job done by the crew saved the day. You couldn't have done this in many airplanes of the day because you could not start the APU in the air.
Good to see an air emergency where everyone lives. Nice vid, Alec. Looking forward to your next one. Had one in Charlotte, NC in 1994 where 37 died, windshear. Maybe that one-? :)
A really sharp mechanic, while installing the new chip detectors, just might have realized that without o-rings they might leak - and do something about it. I guess we can't expect that every mechanic is that sharp.
It's the same guy taking them out, inspecting them, cleaning them off, putting new o-rings on, and re-installing them. There are kits for these periodic inspections. The o-rings are in the kits. You literally can't miss them. The mechanic simply threw away the new o-rings after putting in the chip detectors.
The mechanics of the Challenger weren't sharp at all
I love the Lockheed L1011 Tristar
I got to fly an L-1011, in the 1970's from New Orleans to Tampa, at night. Don't know the reason but there were less than 12 passengers on the plane, and we were nothing special. Just trying to get home. I guess to clear Lake Pontchartrain, close to New Orleans , we went up at a very steep angle, maybe also due to the plane essentially being empty. I had the feeling, the pilot could have flown the jet vertical if necessary. We were still in this god-awful climb, he cut the power way back, and the plane seemed to keep climbing at the same speed, and angle. I guess that was as close to riding a rocket as I'll ever come. Very Thrilling to say the least. Seemed like we stayed level maybe 5 minutes before starting the descent to Tampa. And added tidbit : Amoco White Gas (premium) was 50 cents a gallon at the time. Don't know what jet fuel was selling at.
+John Smith Would sure be nice if gas was again that price.
John krenkowitz - Me too. I flew on a Tristar from Miami to Houston in 1982. Struck by lightning somewhere around New Orleans. Lights flickered, a few screams. Exciting flight for a 18 year old alone! A pretty sweet ride, though.
I feel the same
John krenkowitz me I hate
Damn my heart was racing from all the suspense on this one. Keep up the work, brother!
Great crew work, true heroes and lucky for one engine to start, great work allec!
Great that I get these older videos recommended
when i found that engine 2 had restarted, I shook my fist and said "YES!" LOL!!!
I knew I wasn't the only one to do that! 👏😃!!
i didnt do ALL THAT now.. i thought to myself "ok rad"
Thank you! Well done
Wow! didnt expect that!
Also, some text with a black outline would be nice for those bright backgrounds... It gets tricky to read sometimes!
Love your vids!
MrLeoGP yes, more drop shadows!!
+MrLeoGP Ya spoiled it! LOL
DMSDrummer Oh sh*t you're right! didnt think about that lol I'm sorry
mrt57rn Already edited it to avoid future spoilers! sorry about that lol
MrLeoGP LOL
Another great video. Thank you!!
These are the results, when you have a FULLY experienced flight crew. Everyone did their jobs, and were able to salvage a plane, that became disabled because of incompetence- by the Maintenance & the FAA. What a brilliant job, reacting to utter stupidity.
Glad the plane landed safely!!! watching this video though i cant help saying what a beautiful bird the L 10 11 is and I always loved Easterns livery!!!
I remember eastern in the early 80's as a kid they really catered to kids they gave out little toy eastern planes coloring books and I remember they gave eastern airlines iron on decals and you actually got a full meal those were the days,
Shame they didn't give out little 'O' rings to their maintenance staff?
I flew on countless L-1011's as a kid. Loved that aircraft. Best looking out of the tri engined too.
Just now watched this one, EAL 855. Machinist union brought Eastern down, one of the top ever.
Nice job! Thank you
Great work Allec. My favourite video yet.
Thank you to Allec Joshua Ibay for yet another selfless, informative and accurate video that was straight to the point. Unlike some of the other channels out there that make similar types of videos, this did not have a 10 minute boring intro discussing plane specs, how long the plane has been in service, how many flying hours it’s endured, etc.
Thank you for realizing what’s important when recreating these events that often end in tragedy.
Glad this one had a happy ending however 😃
Superb effort from the pilots! This incident where pilot heroism occurs is mostly overshadowed by ones like these like US Airways 1549 and the Gimli Glider in my opinion. Awesome video!
My favourite kind of aviation vid.
An emergency situation handled with professionalism and skill and everyone survives.
Amazing, big high five!. Hope will never die!.
Human errors are a threat to humanity and must be dealt appropriately. Thank God everyone was safe, Kudos to the captain and his cockpit staff.
I am really enjoying these videos! Great work making them!
Keep up the great work!! :)
SPOILER ALERT Fascinating story, well recounted as usual. I was once an L1011 passenger, in the days before jets became cattle cars, and it was the most comfortable flight I ever had. This video shows the plane's extraordinary residence, able to withstand oil loss due to negligent maintenance, then fly safely and land on one engine.
Even when it didn't need to because if the pilot had been competent he would have had the ability to land it with two engines.
That’s amazing airmanship by all three on the flight deck……old school pilots that never ever gave up, superb stuff! 😎😊
good one Alec. love the tristar. thankful she and all aboard landed safely
Thank you Alec! What an awesome job! These are so interesting to me. I am a flight attendant and I am heavily involved with our new hires for in-flight (flight attendants). I go through the group interview with them, and later when we fill enough seats for a new class I go in for part of the week that we teach safety procedures like ditching, evacuation drills, where all of the safety gear is on our equipment, (aircraft) we work on 5 different models of aircraft and each kind has the safety tools, like fire extinguishers, O2 bottles,... in different locations and different numbers of them within each kind of equipment depending on the size. We use case study like this for so much of our teaching. I'm going to recommend to some of the full time instructors to use the simulations you have created instead of the old DVD's and even video cassettes that we have used for years. I don't know if you have done it since this is the first one I have seen, but Florida flight 90 that crashed into the Potomac river in 1982 has always been an incident we study due to the dramatic footage that was taken and aired on live television, but it is difficult to describe exactly HOW and what happened, other than the aircraft iced had iced over again and the ice also covered an important instrument on the outside of the aircraft that the pilots use to tell them when to "roll". Their ground speed was too low and they were too heavy and they stalled too low to recover. I'm sure you know the story, it's a difficult one to explain to new hires though!
Nice photography, beautiful shot of one of my favorite aircraft right at 3:42! Keep up the good work.
I can't stop watching these.
Another great video
Outstanding video. #2 saved everybody.
Superb airmanship to go along with the 3rd world maintenance and supervision. Thank goodness this crew was calm, focused, and prepared. They are a credit to aviators everywhere!
What a great ending. Thanks
Great video. Thank you for sharing. No flame - no CO2. Ahead of their time.
Great story. Well done! Best of all, everyone survives.
i worked on the l-1011 back in the late 70 80s she was the best thing in the sky still today in my book nothing beat her for safety i just there were still flying today
A beauty for sure.
Thank You Capt. Loft!
I see what you did there.
I always loved the look of the Lockheed Tristar though I've never been fortunate enough to see one, except on _teh interwebz_ of course. What a great recovery from a situation that could've gone, and did go either way.
I knew someone very well who worked for Eastern. That company was a tight knit community, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the MIF (maintenance induced failure) which caused this near tragedy, spread like wild fire through the company and things changed afterwards pretty quickly! The union was very difficult to work with and there was upward pressure to skirt the way things were done. One of the lead mechanics joked about having to change the pilot seat in the aircraft once it was towed to the hanger. The stories that went on we’re just fabulous and I miss those days so much. And I miss those who worked there. If you people who fly airplanes only knew how many times these words have been said “send it to the gate “when things were not totally right with the aircraft, you would never fly again. I will say the Lockheed L1011 in my opinion is the finest looking passenger jet ever made. The interior was vast, too.
you’re really good at this and you make v interesting videos!!! keep it up!!!
Beautiful aircraft!
Amazing how something as seemingly inconsequential as a rubber O ring is paramount to flight safety. Well done to the flight crew for remaining calm and professional under enormous pressure. Also, well done to the oil deprived RB211 for restarting!
One of the greatest stories in aviation.
Three engines to the rescue. Flew on this model. Great plane. Got a bad rap for a while. Those maintenance guys should do time in jail the way I see it.
These brave pilots did an amazing job!!
Although it kinda has me wondering if it might've been better to just go ahead and land at Nassau (weather notwithstanding), considering how much closer it was.
Thank god for the Pilot restarting and restarting and restarting. Landing in the Atlantic would be much much more dangerous than what Sully Sullenburger went thru on the Hudson. Good job pilots. Good job makin these vids
Am I the only one that thinks that whenever work is done on an airplane, that maintenance person should have to fly in that plane, on the very next flight?
I see the incentive attempt, but logistically hows that going to work?
Maybe not the only one. But you're one of very few I'm sure.
Wow! What a stupid idea!
But thank you for sharing the first one you ever had with us!
He isn't a qualified pilot so wouldn't that be crazy? He could still fly the plane without any passengers and crash?
What flameout, that was the missing O Rings on the chip detectors one.We used to pull the chip detectors on the RR RB211 on the overnight and at Eastern they would turn them into to stores and get replacements with brand new O Rings already installed. Somebody in stores didn't do the O rings and the guy who got them and put them in didn't notice. All three engines had oil loss.
Flew Eastern many times back in the day. Always liked that airline.
I worked at Eastern as a young CPA from 1979 to 1981 and I flew many legs on the TriStar, especially MIA to SFO. On Friday's, I would check the seating in 1st class and if available, I would just decide to fly to San Francisco for the weekend and come back on the Red Eye Monday morning. There was nothing more exciting than at takeoff, hearing the full thrust of the Rolls Royce RB211 engines roar.
I remember that incident, the procedure was to remove the chip detectors which came in a pill bottle and replace them with a new one and put the old one in the same pill bottle and send it to inspection to inspect it to determine what type of metal was on it. The Mechanics screwed up and didn't notice the new ones did not have O-rings installed and simply replaced them which caused oil to slowly leak out of all three engines. EAL re-trained all the Mechanics of how important O-rings are and this flight was very lucky and no one was hurt. I always make sure O-rings are installed on every part I replace that requires it.
What kind of "mechanic" replaces a part that had an o-ring with one that doesn't have one?
We learned of this flight in maintenance class when I was a mechanic for TWA. What they didn't say was the job was done on graveyard shift. Everyone knows, on graveyard shift, the name of the game is get the job done quickly so you can go back to sleep! The old parts used to come with O-rings, the new ones not, and no one noticed.
@@gr8guitarplayer Murican mechs.
@@vanman6368 Maybe, but I see a lack of "attention to detail" across the board. I work with more foreigners these days than "Muricans", and they are totally oblivious to details that truly matter. Imo, there's been a general decline in workmanship over the last few decades. Of course, that could be just because I've been paying more attention to declining skills as I've gotten older.
@@gr8guitarplayer You couldn't be more right! My comment was very short and therefore limited to. Was kidding as well, to an extent anyway and didn't include the foreigners. There are some beauties among them too, I know. :) Driving all the rivets except for the last two, so they don't have to sign off on the job comes to mind. I think we've both seen the industry go downhill. Hard not to be old and a tad bit sarcastic. :) My bad.
Thanks for the reply.
I always loved the look of the Tristar. I just never understood why Lockheed could never be a master at commercial aviation yet a master at making the tools to protect our country and the other marvels they endured. Guess you cant be good at everything. Thanks Allec. Congrats at 200k. XX. FROM KBOS.
they had a great short day in the 30s with the Orion. it was fast but it was small and single engine and the feds soon said "no single engine airliners."
THANK YOU

Allec - Check Delta's records around 12-(28,29,30)-1978. Look for TriStar flight W. Palm to Tampa to Atlanta, to Detroit, to Chicago, to Cleveland, to Philadelphia, to N of Atlanta (including about 4 1/2 hours of circling) all on 1 tank of gas, where we ran out of gas, deployed RAT to glide to & land in Atlanta, skidding across AMR apron stopping at AMR ramp & AMR put out tire fires. Flight included waiting 45 min for VIP in Tampa, ice storm across nation, circling Detroit forever, airliner crashed in Detroit right in front w/TriStar missing it's tail by about 20'-30', circling Chicago 1 hr+, circling Cleveland 1 hr+, circling Philly less than hr, after being directed to NYC Captain set course for Atlanta at best economy speed w/lights off, ran outta gas N of Atlanta, ID'd flight to ATC as Delta Glider Flight, deployed RAT, glided to Atlanta, Captain yelled at tower to clear taxiway as using that too, lit at foot, no reverse thrust either so heavy brakes, let off brakes, kidde cornered first cutoff tippy toeing to taxiway, heavy brakes to AMR Concourse, and we had arrived plus not closed airport with only one runway open due to construction. Emer Services out of position after being kicked off taxiway, so AMR ground crews put out tire fires w/potable water. AMR treated Captain like rock star, plus all cockpit crewmen of the other planes filed in all night congratulating him for handiwork, Delta VP fired Captain for using his Pilot-in-Command authority to NOT force us off plane, FAA Official prevented VP from removing anyone on plane, old AMR Captain told our Captain not to worry as he could fly for AMR every day of the week and twice on Sunday, Delta VP/AMR Captain/FAA Official agreed to reconnect elec -allow complimentary AMR Stewardess Crew back in - provide dinner-breakfast-liquor - rehire our Captain - and leave us the hell alone ON THE CONDITION COCKPIT CREW APPEARED TO FAA OFFICE IN TOWER AT 9AM. Done and done. We partied all night glad to be alive. I somehow caught flight to Cincinnati, then I drove Hertz rental for lady & her daughter to Detroit in driving rain. Even though Delta had no empty seats to get us to Detroit, by golly there was our luggage circling the carousel!! If you find the records from this flight from Delta/FAA/NTSB. you might make video. I'm sure it wouldn't be your best, easiest to make, or get the most clicks, but it would be funnier than hell.....just like this flight!!!
I chuckled at the "Whisperliner" painted on the air intake for Engine 2. Have you ever been near a Lockheed L-1011 at takeoff? Hardly a whisper. LOL.
They were considerably more quiet than the first generation turbojets. Which says a lot about how noisy ALL jet engines are.
The Rolls Royce RB211 was a 3 spooled turbofan instead of 2 spools, like its competition. That fan really growled at high power settings with low airspeed (takeoff and climb out) but actually was quieter than the other big fans (Pratt and Whitney JT-9D and General Electric CF-6) of the day on the 747 and DC-10, respectively, though you could get all 3 on a 747, depending on the customer.
Good ‘ol engine #2. 👍🏼
The United Flt 97, a 747, had crossfeed failure and almost crashed into Narita with only one engine turning. The crossfeed valve light showed shaft, not valve, position, and in this case the shaft had sheared. Anyway, I am so hoping you can flesh out the whole story... as I was told, after the first engine flameout, the Captain refused help from two Pan Am 747 pilots riding in the back, and also told the FE NOT to use the fuel/dump panel to creatively move fuel around (a Boeing procedure UAL decided NOT to carry in their Flight Manual, but which the two Pan Am pilots were familiar with.) I would love to hear the full telling of this event. All I heard is, the FE used systems knowledge alone to defy the Captains order not to touch anything, (Turn the FE panel lights down as low as they will go. The captain then can't see what you're doing) and got usable fuel sufficient to prevent a ditching using the dump manifold. It’s a great story Allec, I hope you can elaborate on.
Lots of prayers being said on that flight !
Amazing the crew wasn't criticized!
Good thing he tried to start engine 2 again. This is awesome.
Hats Off to the Pilots Of 855 👏🏻👍🏻 I seriously thought this one will crash 😅
Man, those pilots had ice in their veins! Great job!!
NICE VIDEO
yay you still upload its nice to see FSX plane crash movies
amazing
Wonderful commentary and video!
I really felt for them, better video than "Sully", since this was accurate.
Imagine the realization that, unless one engine can be restarted, you *will* ditch in the open Atlantic. With tall waves, few have survived an open ocean ditching. *Chills.*
I should have been in bed 3 hrs ago!!... but I CANT STOP watching theses videos...........Please Help!😯😬😴
Amen alleluia with prayers from the passengers probably saved their lives. I love a happy ending
Good job team!.. 👍
I was taught that no AMT should ever perform or sign off on work unless they were willing to board that aircraft and/or to have those whom they cared about the most board it after they were done. That said, laymen do not realize how complex aircraft really are, or how easy it is underestimate the importance of attention to detail when it comes to doing mundane tasks like replacing chip detectors. Yeah, it seems incredibly stupid for some one calling themselves a mechanic to fail to replace a few dollars worth of o-rings, but, if the people doing the work were never trained properly, then not noticing the lack of o-rings on replacement chip detectors, or even re-using worn out o-rings on replacement chip detectors is not beyond the realm of possibility. Human nature with all of its frailties is still a force to be reckoned with, even in the field of aviation.
IM happy that everyone on board that plane DID survive!!!
😊 that ev survived as most
cases end in tragedy ! 👍👍👍
Mechanics neey to REALLY FOCUS in their duty !
That was very interesting.
