Continental Express Flight 2574 (Jetlink 2574) was a scheduled domestic passenger airline flight operated by Britt Airways from Laredo International Airport in Laredo, Texas, to Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) (now called George Bush Intercontinental Airport) in Houston, Texas on September 11th, 1991.

The conversation before the accident is just two professionals doing what they love. You can tell by their comments that they are coming in for a routine landing and are all around in a good mood. They followed instructions and all procedures as they had done in the thousands of hours of previous flights. It is sad that it causes things like this to happen before changes happen. I suspect that procedures and processes are constantly being reviewed and updated in order to keep planes safe. There is so much that can go wrong with a airplane and most of the time, everything is perfectly safe. Thank you for the video which (obviously) got me thinking about the situation.
It sounded like two professionals who were comfortable working together which makes for smoother day. I am so glad no one suggested anything else.
Ashok Gopar total coincidence. Otherwise...
What? Boeing sabotaged?
@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 Dude what the fuck are you on about
@@shabberplasm32 i have no idea. I think I responded to a comment that was deleted.
Imagine being the pilots; flying an almost brand new plane, carrying passengers, at the end of the flight, flying back to your home city. All of a sudden, the plane breaks up, and spirals towards the ground, you losing consciousness before hitting the ground, accepting your fate.
Truly a terrible fate, may the souls on board rest in peace. Gone too soon.
Wonder what the actual comments of the doomed pilots flying into the ground at 150mph were? No mention here. [correction actually the plane was flying at 300 mph initially]
Edward Snowedus I read the CVR transcript. There is no dialog after what is included in this video. It’s a grunt like sound then the rest are warning sounds from the aircraft. The pilots lost consciousness.
Well, if I lose consciousness first, I'm ok with it.
yup.
Yeah that would be a pretty horrific eay to die. The passengers and crew may have not blacked out though. It takes alot of gs to knock a person out. At least minimum 7 to 8 sustained. Even if they didn't, it was quick. Because there was no conversation on the CRV, it may have been due to the sudden terror and trauma of losing control of the aircraft and plunging towards the ground.
The graphics in this one are so amazing. Very sad story, wish the best for the family

Which simulator game is this?
The irony of a flight that crashes in dramatic fashion on 9/11...exactly 10 years earlier. (1991)
This is so ironic. The very maintenance crew that was there to fix the plane and ensure their safety, were the ones that caused the plane to crash.
Watching these videos of these accidents reminds me that, when we decide to travel by air, there are so many levels of confidence we need to have. Simply because once we take off, our fate lies not only with the individuals who operate the aircraft, but the maintenance crew, the workers who load the plane, the weather conditions, the planes structural condition and the competency of the pilots and air traffic control officers.
There is so much that happens before, during, and after the take off and landing safely than most realize.
These machines, are built to last, but the people behind the scenes hold most of the cards as our lives are in their hands. This is one reason when I see someone connected with the aviation community, I try to acknowledge the appreciation I have of them for the hard work and dedication it takes to entet into a career that literally has our lives in their hands. Its a HUGE rexponsibility.
However, when we look at these videos, the margin of error in this indusrty is as minsule as the margin cam get. Thats zero.
Every CEO of these mega companies should make mandatory rules involving the maintenance, inspection, cleanliness, and plenty of training, and more training on the possibility that something could wrong, and if the investigation from a accident shows negligence, of a employee or employees then consequences will tough and swift. Deceased customers don't get do overs, and negligent work from negligent employees and CEOs (they definitely dont get any passes) especially for cutting corners to save a dollar. Its Despicable, and it cost not only a lot of money, but in the worlds
economy stage, the Airline Indusry make up a enormous slice of the pie. Meantime innocet! People are caught in the web, So it would seriously behoove those involved that this mode of transportation is NEVER compromised, If the people lose faith in flying, imagine what the market would do? It could be instant bubble burst.
So be responsible everyone. Keep us alive and do your job and do it extra right.
Wow. Excellent. Thanks.
It's sad that it takes many deaths to just put more effort into a job that should always be done right
Good point, that's what it always seems to take, people getting killed before diligent efforts are made to correct problems.
Tragic, but great video. We can only hope that each of these disasters causes changes in procedures that help save lives in the future.
And Hillary Clinton cackling around on her broomstick should have her screws replaced.
You are one sick fucker!
Great video! For commenters questioning the fire and/or the plane breaking up, the NTSB report supports these events. The report also quotes eight eyewitnesses:
•Flying normally;
•Wings level, slightly nose down;
•Suddenly consumed by fireball;
•Wingtips & part of tail protruding from fireball;
•A bright flash;
•Orange or red-orange flames at time of flash or immediately thereafter;
•Sputtering engines, followed by three pops;
•A revving sound;
•A flat spin to the left until impact;
•Left wing dangling from blown-out area;
•Right wing missing;
•Flying parts during downward spiral.
Addendum: 47 screws were missing!
The reported information was great, with a clean explanation of how the maintenance hand-off was missed, why rapid descents are risky, and how a flight can go from blithely-mundane to unrecoverable in an instant. It would be nice to have more text background in the description.
However, there's no evidence I can see to support in-flight fire before impact, or did I miss something? It's an interesting video until the plane is shown on *fire* when it'd simply lost the horizontal stabilizer; at that point the video suddenly descends to a Sharknado-level of credibility. Machinima techniques using flight simulators to animate scenes are cost-effective, but often fall short of the runway when too many corners are cut. Lots of good work, though.
I worked as a flight attendant for this airline,Brad was a super guy, the flight attendant Nancy Reid was a joy to know,I had not flown very much with Clint but by all accounts another super guy,I often think of them God Bless RIP
You videos are amazing on how you get all the information and put half of it into a flight simulator. It probably takes a lot of time for you to do it. I really appreciate your videos.
P.S. Not to drive you crazy, this is a request: Tenerife Airport Disaster.
Great Video, terrible mistakes were made, sad that people had to die because of carelessness. I really like how you make these videos..Thankyou.
I agree.
@@nenblom ..Thankyou.
1212121
so true
The sound effects are incredible. Especially at the time of separation. Great video as always.
This is the best channel to binge watch on and now I barely discovered it. Thanks for the awesome content :))
Really enjoy your videos! You should do one about the Horizon Air plane that was stolen by a SeaTac airport worker earlier this year.
Rest in the Clouds, Sky King...
Makes you wonder how anyone survived flying in the late 80s and early 90s
Even during that time, flying was largely safe. My grandmother flew all over the country in the 80s and 90s without one incident.
In my life, I flew in aircraft mostly in the '80's. Being a Marine infantryman, I flew in helicopters and all kinds of airliners large and small. Besides a few incidents in the helos, I never had a bad moment. Your comment is incorrect. While flying today may be safer, it was still pretty damn safe then too.
Flying was extremely safe by then. It's the 50's and 60s that I wouldn't have wanted to fly in. Or the early days of the DC10 in the 70s.
It was even worse in the 1950s and 60s.
Your videos are sooo accurate and amazing, subscribed now
These videos are getting better and better! I would like to see the Überlingen collision and One-Two-Go flight 269.
It is just 10 yrs before 9/11
I truly enjoy your videos. I'm certain that it must take quite some time to create them, but I do learn a lot about aeronautics. What I would like to see is the mid-air collision over the Grand Canyon that happened June 30, 1956 at approximately 10:30 a.m. Mountain time. I was seven years old at the time and for some reason, that tragedy has always puzzled me. Did a google search and found it on Wikipedia, but would like to see it recreated. Thank you and keep making your fantastic videos. P.S. This video is excellent and I have subscribed! You're the best!
I've wanted allec to do this for a while, thanks
Don't worry, his video of this accident is now on Patreon and it will be on RUclips soon
"Push'n this descent making like the space shuttle" 3:42. Yes, like the Columbia.
This channel has tough me to not be scared of planes, as they're high standard and flown by highly qualified pilots. However, now I'm scared of the mechanics that they've not done their job properly and the plane has loose screws.
Could be you'll have more of a chance of getting killed or injured flying regional airlines. Some of their maintenance procedures have been alarmingly subpar, but hopefully, this isn't going on anymore due to previous unnecessary passengers deaths.
When your numbers up ..
This infuriates me. What a ridiculous error. Simple lack of communication. 🙁
lack of responsibility
Having flown from the Laredo airport before (very tiny airport with only 4 gates), riding one of those tiny charter airplanes really terrified me. I’ve endearingly nicknamed them “mosquito planes”, and any slight turbulence would be magnified 5 fold compared to a large 747. I can’t imagine how it must have felt during that rapid descent. My heart goes out to those who’ve lost their lives on that flight and the families affected by this disaster.
Great job!
This is my Uncle Brad piloting this plane. He was such a good man & father. Luv you Uncle Brad you are missed everyday!
Watching from Laredo
Really like your videos - would be good if you put the aircraft type and date of the event/accident in the description though!
Love your videos, I’ve learnt a lot from them.
Great fan of your videos, but I noticed the spinning propellers on that aircraft couldn’t have possibly been visible ahead of the cockpit on both sides. A very small error, but I noticed. Nonetheless, brilliant work! Keep doing the great stuff!
Great videos as always! Can you make a video about Lion Air JT 610 that happened this week? Thanks
11 September 1991 , Just 10 years before 9/11
OMG A plane crashed On October 29,2018.It Was Lion Air 610(JT610)near Indonesia!
I was on a company flight on a small four-seater plane that went down on its very next flight. Turns out the mechanics pulled the crankshaft bolts and when they were reinstalled they were not tightened properly. Sure glad they held tight for my flight! Luckily everyone on the flight survived with no injuries because the plane itself was equipped with a parachute.
After a month, you earn about 23k sub! That's was fast 👍
This is why a detailed preflight inspection is so important. Sadly, with the stabilizer so high off the ground, the flight crew couldn’t have seen the missing or loose screws. RIP.
How come we see the plane parts here but no in Shanksville?
this is a great concept and video format. You might consider adding some quiet audio reading the words
although that might take away from the flying audio which is a nice touch.
I Love your Videos !!!!!
LOL Type: So do I!!!
How are these videos made? I understand probably with a flight simulator, but then are the crashes made in that software too? How do you do these X Pilot? Please let me know.
Very Creepy that this accident happened exactly 10 years before 9-11
When I was a manager i always said communicate at shift change. Make sure verbally and by writing in a log, then if the next shift Fs up it is on them cuz you covered your bases.
Good video.and sorry for the souls. Why no background music?
What plane simulation software/program are you using?
I was wondering if you have one of United Flight 811, Feb 24, 1989? My husbands great aunt, Rose Harley, was one of the 9 passengers taken out the hole when the cargo door blew off over the Pacific Ocean.
Hello X Pilot. May i drop a suggestion about the most recent plane crash in my country? It happened on 29th October 2018, Lion Air Indonesia flight JT-610, Boeing 737-800, flight from Jakarta to Palangkaraya. I hope you can do this for your upcoming video when the datas needed are out. Thanks!
The leading edge of the elevator came off from a maintenance snafu. It caused the plane to pitch down badly, loose control and partially break up.
Hey X Pilot will you do a video of Southwest airlines flight 1380
Dude... Do you have any connexion to the "Allex Joshua Ibay" channel or do you both steal your material from the same source?
Sorry if it comes out rude but I just did a quick comparison and there's no way the similarities between your videos are just due to luck.
This incident is used as the classic case study of inadequate shift turnover.
X, what software do you use to make these videos?
Why are the props so far forward in cockpit view?
What flight simulator program do you use? Your graphics are spectacular. The most realistic I've seen. Much better than 4k Microsoft Flight Simulator.
I guess you could say that the maintenance worker... _^takes off sunglasses^_ had a few screws loose. *YEAAAAAH!!!!*
Hey X can you do a video on the grumman goose of paradise island?
Prayers to all. They had no chance.
As much as I hated doing 781A forms documentation in the USAF as a crew chief working on an aircraft, I had already understood how important they were. If the airlines had the same system in place, this would not have happened. The "hearsay" method kills people. Really sad........
Default king air 350 interior ? :p
Can u do other Brasilia Accidents like the 2 ASA crashes and the Comair crash in Detroit
Can we get a video on PSA 182?
Hey X Pilot, great videos as always, you should also do some aborted landings due to wind or other conditions where it was very difficult to land
I would have imagined the extreme Gs put them to sleep before they hit the ground
I assumed so, because of the lack of conversation. That's a small consolation, I guess.
What happens, exactly, when G-forces increase in a rapid descent? Are the body’s cells hypoxic? Would the O2 masks deploy, and would they have been unable to retrieve and put them on? I know, not that it mattered, but I was wondering what exactly happens, and why.
@@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043 Increased blood pressure at dangerous levels. Everything goes to the head in negative Gs (Diving), Worse case scenario it can kill you. Negative Gs are harder to handle than postive Gs ( Climbing). The blood vessels in the the brains, eyes, etc all start busting.
Swaglife 81 • I gotcha. In a microcosm of your explanation, when I was a kid, i felt terrible head and ear pressure just retrieving quarters at the deep end of a swimming pool at only 12 feet! I got the quarter and came up ASAP. I can’t imagine the horror of thousands of feet in a vertical dive. Oh Lord.
You should add music at the end. Something soft, somber, appropriate. Other channels do it affectively.
There were terms I didn’t understand, which made it unclear to me if everything was normal or not. I watched again and they’re told to join the Radial Gland. And the co pilot says he’s a Dinger. He also says pushing the descent like the space shuttle.
I see from the comments below that all was well until the descent but as an outsider, I couldn’t tell. Ty for the videos!
Your recreations are top notch, so please take this one note not as a criticism but as a note to make your details much better.
The E120 cockpit is in fact that of a King Air. I have noticed it in all of your E120 videos. You cannot see the prop in front to your R or L out of the E120 DV windows. You in fact look behind. Also the circuit breakers are above on the overhead panel not to the side near the FO’s leg. There are a few other major details but I assume you get the point.
I know these videos take a lot of effort to produce and they are outstanding.
-Best
Is it wrong that I wish for more plane crashes so that you’ll have more material for more videos?
nice graphics
What game is this
i seen this in NGO the stabilizer came off . i wonder frm that fall of imapact wht ll be the remains of them
Can we get the 2018 Horizon Air Q400 incident next?
Dude,love your vídeos.It would be real nice if you covered the crash of the mexican goverment secretary.Juan Camilo Mouriño
Are you actually a pilot or just someone who really enjoys looking at certain aviation accidents?
Imagine what it would look like in the windows in the cockpit when they were just spiraling downwards in this scene 4:02 thank God they blacked out and not see their death.
I can’t imagine how the maintenance workers must have felt. 14 people dead because a few screws were not replaced. It a shame people have to die for procedures to be changed or enforced.
nowadays/(27-yrs later!) maybe an NTSB 'supercomputer' could listen to each mechanic in America explain each step he/she makes in the maintenance. if he/she misses a step, the computer can set off a little alarm reminding the mechanic of the possible error. or maybe a computer camera on each mechanic could watch, so the mechanics don't have to 'mutter' endlessly to a computer each and every move he/she makes in every repair...... isn't this what super-computers are capable of in 2018 to protect lives?! 'BIG BROTHER', but what a friend!
I have details of this case study in my operations manual...I'll look it up, but if memory serves me correctly, a quality control inspection missed the opportunity to identify the missing screws.
a quality control inspector 'screwed up'! the (computer-camera)-MACHINES must always watch these humans!
Japan airlines 123 Please!!
WolfBoy GamerTv CH That one’s already been done; I can’t link on mobile but if you go to the video list you should find it.
That absolutely sucks. One of the worst handovers I have ever heard of with zero documentation of work done.
Why is there a fireball depicted bursting from the aircraft's underbelly, if the horizontal stabilizer was the problem? The animation makes it look like the plane was shot down or exploded.
please do eastern 375 or delta 723 if you haven't already.
remember the song "i'm walkin' "
Upgrade your computer? The graphics are much better in this video
Going to land this like the space shuttle.
Only if the plane is intact.
Imagine removing screws, not telling your supervisor or the next shift you did so and then buggering off home.
Also, piss poor of the midnight shift not to check both sides before clearing the aircraft as a safety measure
❤
10 years later
This is not the first maintenance related crash. The authorities need to start holding the maintenance people criminally responsible for their slipshod work. Hopefully the prospect of being charged with man slaughter if a individual actions lead to the death of others will be enough motivation
Just a further comment just for the sake of accuracy x pilot the aircraft was actually in the old red and gold continental livery not the later globe livery you h ave used
Sounds like somebody on the night shift needs to be given the electric chair.
My question is....
At 6:46 it's stated "...F/O Rodosovich initiated a high speed descent,which caused the stabilizer to give way...."
Was the F/O guilty of being irresponsible with a "faster than normal" descent?
No, it sounds like the high speed descent was still within the operational limits of the aircraft, if it had been put back together correctly.
Vikram Gupta : What I found disturbing,was that earlier in the video,at 3:42,he made that Space Shuttle comment.
@@ebayerr . Yeah, he "made like the space shuttle" alright. It was unnecessary, but not the ultimate cause of the crash. Had he not done it that way? Well, they'd probably still be alive.
Human error. Accidents happen. But when people's lives are on the line there should be no procedure left undone. Double, triple check it. I'm amazed at the frequency of simple human error in what seems the majority of these accidents. X Pilot thank you for these awesome videos.
Could you do Ethiopian Airlines flight 409?
Britt airways: where’s our EMB 120RT Brasília at?
Continental express: um
Man, in the flight business, when things go bad, they get BAD.
Continental Express 2574
Fatalities : 14
Survivors : 0
Please make pan am flight 73 video
So much money was wasted looking for the leading edge. The only thing it told them was the screws on the top weren’t attached. The fact that screws were present in the bottom but not the top of the horizontal stabilizer would have told them the same thing without the expensive search for the leading edge.
Space shuttle joke right before they dive to the earth
. So sad 😢
May the victims of Continental Express FLT 2574 RIP. Tragic.
The rapid descent was intended ? Can somebody explain me why it was intended so steep ?
It was steeper than normal probably because they needed to stay clear of the airspace used for Houston Hobby approaches. That said, the intent wasn't to go into a dive. That was caused by the loss of the stabilizer.
Need to go see if the NTSB report elaborates on the reason.
Thank you, just was not sure why the F/O said to push that descent to make it look like the space shuttle and then the plane dives. So I guess they tried to descent, stabilizer died and that made subtle descent into the nightmare descent.
@@Kedo2 He was hot dogging and enjoying his flying skills. Pilots at times do this it's part of nature
