I can answer the question asked at the end of the video. I was on that flight. The snowstorm and particularly the heavy fog made it nearly impossible to see anything outside.
Accident Northwest Airlines Flight 1482, a Douglas DC-9-14, was cleared from the gate toward Runway 03C, but it missed turning onto Taxiway Oscar 6 and instead entered the outer taxiway. To correct the error, the crew were instructed to turn right onto Taxiway X-ray, but they instead turned onto the active runway, 03C. They realized the mistake and contacted air traffic control, which instructed them to leave the runway immediately. Five seconds later (at 13:45 EST), the crew saw the Boeing 727, Northwest Flight 299 to Memphis, heading toward them on its takeoff roll. The 727's wing cut through the right side of the DC-9's fuselage just below the windows, then continued aft, finally cutting off the DC-9's right-side (#2) engine. The DC-9 caught fire and was destroyed.[3] The captain of the DC-9 escaped from the aircraft through the left sliding window. Eighteen people escaped the plane from the left overwing exit, 13 people escaped through the left main boarding door and four people jumped from the right service door. The rear jumpseat flight attendant and a passenger died from smoke inhalation in the DC-9's tailcone; the tailcone release was not activated, and later investigation determined that the release mechanism was mechanically inoperable.[1]: 9 Of the surviving passengers, the NTSB stated that 10 received serious injuries and 23 received minor or no injuries. The three surviving crew members received minor or no injuries. The NTSB added that it did not receive medical records for three passengers who were admitted to a burn center; for purposes of the report, the NTSB labeled their injuries as serious. The NTSB also did not receive medical records for the copilot and six passengers who were treated and released from area hospitals; for the purposes of the report, the NTSB assumed that they had received minor injuries.[1]: 11 After the collision, the 727 flight crew immediately initiated a rejected takeoff and was able to stop the aircraft safely on the remaining runway.[1]: 4 The captain then shut down all three engines and ascertained that no one on board had been injured and that the aircraft was only lightly damaged. Deciding that no immediate danger existed, he did not order an emergency evacuation, and the passengers and crew deplaned using the rear airstair after the aircraft was sprayed with fire retardant foam as a precaution.[1]: 37 The 727 sustained a damaged wing and was later repaired.[4] Northwest Airlines Flight 1482 · Flight 299 Northwest Airlines Flight 1482（N3313L） wreckage.jpg Wreckage of N3313L.

I don't know if it's mentioned in the episode but the F/O embellished aspects of his previous career in the military, namely increasing his rank and ejecting from an aircraft twice.
Most people survived the accident including the pilots of both planes. Everyone on the other plane (Boeing survived). 36 of the 44 on board the DC9 survived.
i am watching Smithsonian channel for two weeks and one thing remains constant in all videos "investigators wants to know" and "what went wrong" and latter is scariest tbh
I work at dtw started at American airlines in 1986 and was there for 25years was at work during this accident and northwest 255 which went down on road
Speaking as a retired NWA captain and a dead heading crewmember on Flt 299. It would seem that way with the info given here but here is the situation. We (pilots) had been officially complaining for years about the poor and confusing signage on this airport. We were ignored until after this accident. The signs were hard to follow even in the best of conditions. You must never forget, government was in charge of airport design and upkeep and government is in charge of investigating and releasing the report on the accident. Does government lie? Or, should it be ask, does government ever tell the complete truth? Government is also responsible for measuring and giving pilots weather report and conditions. They seldom take responsibility for their mistakes.
In modern seasons of Mayday/Air Crash Investigation, the employees became lazier (or other reasons) and used inaccurate or wrong cockpit for each re-enactment.
These previews are terrible. We want to see the full action to include the boom, the fire works, the tragedy, and the pointing of fingers in who is to blame 😭😭😭
I saw the other side of the story from the view of the plane that hit them and the crash wasn't that bad ( it was still a terrible accident still but not the worst )
Every runway crash ever:

Ok y'all we need some 45 mins documentaries on these situations. I'm invested
buy the full episodes then
Where can I buy them?
You can watch it for free. You can go to facebook

I used to watch the full 45-minute “Mayday!” and “Air Crash Investigation” episodes here on RUclips (probably p!rated lol)

They do get views on their other channel. These videos are from the other one which gets millions of views
Well it’s a good thing I can watch on tv
Pretty sure there show on actual tv as well

0:55 is a 727 but it’s supposed to be a dc-9
This is a runway. And It's Brighter Here
I gotta say, the guy playing Lovelace's first officer is really, _really_ good at being unlikable 😆
Anyone else getting tenerife flashbacks?
Yup
No doubt about it!!!
Shades of 1977 Teneriffe . :/
It's scary how many similar accidents have happened since. Madrid in 1983, this one, and the Linate disaster in 2001, all happened in thick fog.
Watching this while waiting before taking a flight is scary
Don’t do that to yourself !! 😂
I feel bad for the first officer
This case is about Confusion, right now we have a tracking device in the tower to make it easier for the Fog
This isn’t a taxiway, this is a runway.
Thats one thick pilot.!!
Where to find complete video?
The airport should have suspended flights in & out when there is fog, this could all been prevented. Sad lives were lost.
No. Most pilots are trained to taxi at runway in foggy conditions. That is why they inserted the taxiway lights.
In fog they couldn't see another plane coming. When will Smithsonian on?
3:10 this is meme werthey
this is a runway
@@BabySonicGT lol
ThiS IsN’T a BeAcH, this IS A RUNWAY.

@@rabd9881 no I mean, the other videos where no one survives
3:15 The cliffhanger 💀
Sounded like Cheech and Chong in the cockpit..
What?
Did the fog affect their performance? The captain sounded like he should not have been flying that plane.
I was there that day across the street. The fog was so thick you couldn't see a thing.
i am watching Smithsonian channel for two weeks and one thing remains constant in all videos "investigators wants to know" and "what went wrong" and latter is scariest tbh
What's wrong with the captain he sound like its his first time navigating the run way
Actually it is. He was new to the runway layout. This IS his first time, dude.
Where is the full ep ?
Can anybody please tell me where I can find full episodes?
same here
on tv, yt, etc.
look up “air disasters smithsonian” on google
a link is in the description

Grew up in Detroit and never knew about this accident.

How can we watch this in Canada!
Was there ever a report on this?

If they just posted the entire thing it would be incredibly lucrative for them.

Wow how can something like that pass in an own way. Well it is either human failure or technical failure.isn????
bro.. tv is fake..
@Watching Channel oh lts fake, like all news, this is fake.
@Watching Channel You can palm away from reality all you want Timmy, the way l see lt, your tell-a-vision screen already doin 4 ya.
@Watching Channel holy fuck even your name x'D bruh reality check, tv is staged. All tv.
@Watching Channel Yes, they needed a reason to renovate. Simple huuh?
Sure u dont.
I think what caused it is that they DIDN’T checked the taxiway signs and led to the wrong direction followed by the crash
