I was a passenger on that flight. It was definitely a scary moment. Still recall those panicking faces. Everyone started praying and hoping for the best. Once we were able to land everyone started clapping and was a such relief to get off. That day was definitely something i will always remember.

@@_WyngX No we weren't informed. Just our gut feeling was telling us something was wrong. Plane kept circling and circling and then they said they are going to newark.

No panicking, no blabbering, straight mind, brave face, intelligent thinking, prompt decision making, clear explanation, quick action. Many salutes to these amazing talented best Pilots and ATC. Thank you very very much for existing. You are amazing. You saved so many souls that day. God bless you always!
I was a doctor on flight. A lot of passengers were having anxiety and one of them developed anxiety attack that was thought to be heart attack. Announcements were made and I along with one more doctor volunteered. While plane was descending, we were working on that passenger knowing well that this could all end soon for all of us in worst of ways. Prayers did work and plane landed smoothly. We all clapped and cheered.
I have questions 1. How were they able to get actual recording of pilot & traffic controllers voice. 2. Why it was not reported as incidence. How such events could be prevented if such incidents are not reported. 3. Was it professional not to report such incidents or was it pressured by higher authorities to prevent insurance rates increase?

3 minutes into the video and I’m already shaking my head at the pilot and airline decision making. The APU is absolutely a critical instrument and the plane should have never left without it working. In the event of an engine failure or an engine stall the APU turns on and sends electricity to the cabin allowing the rest of the instruments to keep functioning and gives the pilots the ability to attempt to recover the plane. Deciding to take a plane with nearly 400 souls onboard on a 15 hour flight knowing the APU is not working is absolutely insane.

It was my first flight to the United States and my first time flying 15 hours straight. Having changed the scenary around ground during landing got me running chills down my nerves. After landing, there was heavy rain outside but we were clapping. That day really was something which i will remember for my entire life....
I'm so happy you had a good result. your pilots were so admirable. In the original transcript, when the pilots asked how things were in the area, the controller snapped, "very busy." which is the way controllers talk in that part of the country because well, New Yorkers are abrupt but kind. I really love the way the JFK controller seemed to 100% stop and focus on the Indian pilots. they don't always do that. this one seemed to sense he needed to focus on this plane. I hope you had a good time in the states after that.

I have watched a lot of crash videos and have seen pilots panicking and taking wrong decisions (Air France Flight 447 being the latest) but the way the pilots maintained their composure in this case is truly commendable and admirable!
How they did it is mind boggling. How they kept their cool is just impressive. I don't understand it. I was panicking but they acted with too much calmness.
While I applaud the great work of the pilots and ATC. I'm surprised no one is angry at Air India for not even submitting and incident report, let alone launching and investigation in to why these failures happened. 370 people including the brave pilots and crew could have died! It's shocking that this happened in 2018 and by the end of 2023, Air India have done nothing to find out what happened and how it can be prevented from happening again.
It's truly a matter of shame that Air India did not share any statement for the scariest incident putting the lives of passengers in such dangerous situation who believe in the name Air India 😮😮😮
Wow! Good work on the report, and thank you for bringing the pilots heroic duties to the public. Even though they were not celebrated loudly for their heroism, they're worthy of being celebrated in this small space for their professionalism and heroism.
I was at the Newark airport to fly out to SFO for a work conference when all this happened. Never knew how serious it was. We did see emergency vehicles drive out onto one of the runways from the windows, but our gate agent had told us they were there for training purposes lol. Wasn't until I got to SFO that I heard the news from my then girlfriend about the situation, and didn't really learn what happened inside the cockpit until just now. Those pilots are heroes, thanks for this video!
Even after landing at Newark, we were on the runway for a good hour or so. The passenger next to me called 911 to complain about Air India and its pilots not letting him off the plane and holding him captive on American soil. It got hot inside and the air hostesses were literally fanning the guy! I should have a picture somewhere. When we landed, someone remarked about it being September 11. Newark had ambulances and fire trucks lined up next to the landing strip! What a day -- and what a miracle to be alive; all thanks to Captain Rustom Palia! Hope to run into him someday and thank him personally.
@@_WyngX The horror set in only after we heard about the system failure a few days later. It was a short 3 day business trip for me, so I in fact heard about the multiple failures after I returned to India on the 14th. That's when the horror really set in!
@@AshishArun1 It must be very hard for you guys. You know I have Aero phobia...I am very much scared to fly. I just want to know from you that so u still fly? And if yes how you manage your anxiety? Pls reply I always try to postpone my trip to India from USA by making some excuses but the real fear is this one.
What a professional interaction. Clear and concise. The pilot was very experienced because of the way he spoke. Air India hired the right people ❤❤ my motherland. Born in Singapore, raised in Canada but ancestry is India. Proud to be one
Wow. I'm in love with the pilots' professionalism. They were just calm. And related all Thier errors to ATC so calmly. The traffic controller at NewYork JFK did an amazing job. He analyzed the issues worked out an alternative Airport for the flight crew of AI 101. These people are,the type of people we need in other to make aviation safer. Those pilots deserve congratulations. ❤ they deserved it
@@sai-fr7yy They are paid to handle tough situations but it doesn't work that way in precarious situations where almost all crucial systems start failing and weather isn't supporting (like 200 ft overcast to begin with). Not everyone has the superb sense of clarity and action in turmoil even if they have knowledge. Like someone else said, please don't belittle another's amazing job of saving lives in this kind of situation. It only shows your ignorance at such things. This is called laid-back arm-chair commentary. This applies to jobs like military or medical work where unexpected deadly situations require instinct to take right decision. Thank God that many were saved and prayers answered.
I literally got goosebumps the moment the scene of the plane landing and honestly it's so moving and inspiring because these pilots were placed in such heavy and highly stressful environment, and with everything that's going on, my god - these 4 pilots are highly calm, professional and focused on solutions. It's truly truly a motivating video for me to do better in my job and with calm despite the pressures. They 4 really are amazing. If they're reading this, I salute you 4.
Absolutely outstanding work on this video. Terrific editing, graphics, script, bit of dramatic music, good quality ATC audio usage, just really well done overall. Same with all your videos. Very high standard. Hope you keep doing them ! Thanks
The way how the pilots handled just portrays how immense a training they need to go through, with the ives of so many people in their hand. Hats off to them and to the narration as well 👏
For being a passenger on that flight it was horrifying people were so nervous and anxious and people were crying, and I get why. also I was thinking it’s September 11th and it was over New York and I was like, something like that can never happen again. I just have to thank the pilots for safely land the plane it’s was got me into aviation it should be a day to remember… great video it deserves more likes because you said EVERYTHING so accurately. And from what I remember (I was 7) someone had a anxiety attack or a heart attack and I remember a few people volunteering to help. I’m 13 now and I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
Can't believe the fact that there is no investigation or reports on the incident. Shame on you Air India. Please don't wait for something to happen to act.
Shame on air india? No they worked hard to get the plane land safely and carried all the passengers safely with no injuries, the instrument failures were totally unpredictable and u can’t blame them for that! Instead of shaming air india , congratulate them for all the hardwork they put in , in order to get the flight to land safely
No investigation? Perhaps there should be redundant computer system. Life is priceless. Should learn lesson and take corrective action so human lives are not put at risk. Can there be better safety checks so the plane never takes off with such issues?
I feel like this is one of the most difficult situation because there isn't one obvious thing that makes a mayday call immediate. bad weather, low fuel, some instrument unreliable. all on there own could not be a big deal, but each and every one slowly creeping up, making a difficult situation suddenly an emergency. Kudos to the pilot and ATC. they handle this great
Excellent storytelling! As a passenger on this route, I feel connected to all the souls on this flight. I wonder why Bollywood is not considering making a movie about this real-life event.
I've said this before and I'll say it now, Air India has some of the best pilots in the world. There is no doubt that they have to upgrade the aircrafts and amenities, but some of the best take-offs and landings I've had are with Air India. They have amazingly talented pilots, but they should invest in training their flight attendants. I hope Air India comes up (now that it has come home to the Tata Group) and soars even higher. Travelling to and from Japan in the B747 in 1996 and regular trips to and from the UAE from 2011-2017 have made me a lifetime fan of the brand.
What wonderful team work by all the four pilots displaying extreme professionalism and courage. The Captain's conversation with the ATC shows that he had been calm and confident throughout and this is what exactly expected of a pilot during such times of crisis. He saved 270 souls onboard by his skills and professional attitude. He didn't panic. Bravo. Salute to the entire air india crew. Best regards from Pakistan
Literally got goosebumps.. I aspire to be a pilot one day and this shook me to the core. I appreciate the pilots sense of judgement and their prompt actions that made the landing possible.
Absolutely SO satisfying to see the level of professionalism displayed by the crew and the ATC. Concise communication, perfect execution. Crisis averted.
Hats off to pilots and ATC for their professionalism. They really avoided another disaster. Excellent presentation. Seen this on other RUclips channels but your step by step explanation of this event is really good. Thumbs up and subscribed to your channel immediately. Looking for more such aviation.
The way pilots keep there head calm.very professional and accurate approach and the immediate response from ATC,to sort out the things are really commendable.
Beautifully narrated bro!! No theatre or unwanted drama. You scripted it well. And i assume you are a pilot yourself. 170 subscrivers shocked me; you deserve more. Thank you sir!
Thank you very much. I am glad you loved it. Yes, it was a challenge to know where to draw the line as this was my first one, but I am glad it hit the mark!
Reminded me of two times we had scare The presence of mind of Cockpit crew averted…… Air India pilots are the Best in the world I have worked with Air India in the 80’s Thanks for sharing God bless
Amazing how this fantastic crew managed to stay calm, composed and focussed to save 370 souls on board despite being in such a grave situation. Kudos to the angels in the cockpit and the controllers. They did not let panic get the better of them.
It is to the credit of the angels and controllers in the cockpit that they did not let panic get the better of them, but remained calm and focused during the crisis.
Great graphics. An experienced crew definitely made the difference in this case. I worked at JFK Airport for 15 years and I know how crazy it gets during inclement weather.
Thanks for this first-class video. Apart from relaying this amazing feat of aviation by the pilots and input from the ATC, thanks also for the explanations of ILS, radio altimeters and other aviation related terms - some of the clearest and best explanations I have yet heard!
This story has been told wonderfully. You have explained all the complicated flight stuff so well! It was such a good video that I watched the entire 22 minutes, never got bored because of your awesome storytelling! Your tone matched with the story very well
20:08 - The moment I had been waiting for, when the plane's wheels touched the runway, and everything was finally lifted off my shoulders. Had the crew not made the decisive call to land, we can only imagine what terrible fate could have awaited the flight.
Desperate times calls for Desperate measures and that's what the pilots effortlessly did. They synchronized with both the ATCs thus landing safely at Newark Intl. Airport. Hands down to the Pilot and the controller who together saved so many souls.🙏♥️✨️
Just came across this channel, very impressed with the quality and graphics. I can tell you worked had to create this masterpiece. Keep up the good work. Please carry on releasing content. Thank you. From a aviation enthusiast.
this is my first video on your channel and I subbed at about 2 mins into the video- the editing, the transitions, the everything is SO good. the way information is presented is beyond professional, like, holy wow your videos are stunning. thank you for educating me on this!
Indians are so talented I love how they landed that plane. I can feel how painful that moment could be for the pilots and passengers. They are very successful people in every aspect of life such as Technology, Health Care, Politics, Film industry and much more. Kudos to those people who saved hundreds of lives for this plane.
Yeah that’s why we have shitty airplanes, every year many people die of train accidents, very few innovations/researches happening in India. I’m Indian, but Indians are good in replicating/copying and never good in inventing at least this modern generation. All Indians who have invented something are not from India.
This is a story of incredible teamwork and resilience. The pilots, ATC, and crew worked together to overcome a series of challenges and land the plane safely. It's an inspiration!
always stoked to find new airplane stimulators/investigations channels! you did a great job! very informative, your narration keeps me engaged as its not monotone. great video!
Cheers mate. I am glad you liked it and it's great to have you here. Thanks for watching. Keen to know what you thought of the other two videos too.! :)
I’m watching this right after the PIA aviation disaster from May 2020 video. This is such a contrasting experience and it makes me so proud of Indian pilots 🥲
Thank you. Having worked in Ministry of Civil Aviation, I appreciate your video. I really wonder how it was not reported by Pilots and also in 'Incident Report '. It won't happen again, since the TATA has now taken over Air India.
It definitely was reported by the pilots, but Air India has not released the investigation report to the public, so I had no official sources to know what the exact reasoning was. The video was made based on video interviews the pilots made to NDTV after the incident. Yes, now that Tata has taken over, I am keen to see how Air India improves. They have just made a large order of new aircraft. Fingers crossed to see the Maharaja being an actual Maharaja! :)
It was reported. I made and released the video in 4 days of the incident. If I would not have made the video, no one would have known about this incident. ruclips.net/video/5FTw9TQtw38/видео.html Great video by Wyngx especially with the narration and simulation.
@@_WyngXmaharaja would exist if goI didn't keep pumping in billion$ yearly. Corrupt aviation Ministers and officials didn't plan to shift the hubs to uae.
I recently flew from JFK to DEL (including return) and believe me both the times the aircraft were too old to be considered safe. Most of their TVs and remotes were malfunctioning and the seats were too old. Well, I was hardly interested in TVs, remotes, and seats etc., what was bothering me were the conditions of the instruments crucial for flying because they were most likely be as old the TVs, remotes etc. If this video would have come two months ago and if I would have watched it I would have never flown with Air India. I still do not want to fly again with Air India because of their poor hospitality. I really hope that Air India consider replacing all of their too old aircraft before any major event happens.
Wow! Kudos to you, this was not a video but a whole movie! Love the quality and efforts put into this, especially explaining the various instrument failures in depth in such a easy way was great! Keep up the good work, I bet you'll be at 100K Subs soon :-)
Great commendable performance by the Air India flight crew! Multiple instruments failures is an indication of sub-standard aircraft maintenance and maintenance procedures; not an area to take shortcuts.
Being a pilot myself (not commercial), the pilots did an astounding job with A101 heavy. Then the ATC's at JFK and EWR did an awesome job as well. Air India needs to really turn up their maintenance. Every system must work on an airplane. It's not a bus where you can stop and fix it en route. I am sure the incidents are reported and logged. They just didn't make a press release for already struggling airlines but the word quickly got around. I flew AirIndia many times and there are maintenance issues for sure. They just ignore the priority of safety inside the cockpits and in the main cabin. The crew themselves are prepared for more than standard training. I won't be surprised if they have handyman tools to fix problems.
With so many failures, landing safely was completely pilot's high experience with luck. Pilot and the Traffic controller definitely should be given award to save full flight. God bless them. 😊❤🥺
Wow those air India pilots and captain are amazing. They were looking at an utter catastrophe but kept their cool and used every resource and effort to best land the plane. They were very lucky too because if they did not land on their first attempt at the 400 ceiling of Newark, then there would be no second chance. They did really well. I hope the Indian Govt honoured them for that. Those pilots professionalism and calmness and focus saved everyone's life on the plane. The ATCs was very professional and helpful too. I can't help but compare those skilled air India pilots to the Air France pilots of 2009. The Air France flight was not in any kind of real trouble, but because they did not take corrective actions when the stall warning came on, that is what killed them. They were not on autopilot and had stall warnings for at least four minutes and were at an altitude where they could easily have recovered from. But the black box recorder showed that the pilots ignored the stall warnings and didn't even mention them. The pilots were utterly confused as to why the plane was losing altitude and behaving as it did. It took until seconds before the crash for one of the pilots to work out that the planes nose had been pointing up the whole time.
Great Video! One of the best narration and with detailed visuals. I see the name of the plane written (Nagaland) near the nose (Yes planes were given names of the states when they were commissioned) and it’s tail number on the steering. Didn’t expect this much detail. Appreciate creator’s efforts!
@@brentsarazin6597No I've never been a pilot myself, just a random Aviation geek. No airliner currently can travel at 550 KIAS, 777's VMO is about 330 KIAS only. Basically the aerodynamic forces would put so much stress on the plane's body that it would break apart mid air. But this is a simulator in the video that's why it survived.

How they did it is mind boggling. How they kept their cool is just impressive. I don't understand it. I was panicking but they acted with too much calmness.
Panic in such situations leads to wrong and desperate decisions which is very catastrophic
@@samuelarthur2713of course but panic is a natural human response.. to manage it is what separates heroes from others
Because they're ex air force
i work with. alot of Indian guys, and in these pilots voices, i heard a type that i know all too well. Fantastic stuff.
While I applaud the great work of the pilots and ATC. I'm surprised no one is angry at Air India for not even submitting and incident report, let alone launching and investigation in to why these failures happened. 370 people including the brave pilots and crew could have died! It's shocking that this happened in 2018 and by the end of 2023, Air India have done nothing to find out what happened and how it can be prevented from happening again.
They must have done those things; probably those things are confidential and not available to the public.
@@rachittripathi2033 If its not public, its not addressed, atleast to the level it must have been.
I 1000% agree!
Govt sold Air India to Tata group.
Yeah investigation will happen if there is a proper authority now you will see that maharaja airlines will get to relive its glory days
It's shame that Indian airlines like Air India did not release any statements of any such investigations on their faulty systems.
Exactly felt the same. It was irresponsible to not release reports on these.
Boeing planes are unsafe
how is it even legal?
It's truly a matter of shame that Air India did not share any statement for the scariest incident putting the lives of passengers in such dangerous situation who believe in the name Air India 😮😮😮
Boeings fault,since airlines only buy planes
Wow! Good work on the report, and thank you for bringing the pilots heroic duties to the public. Even though they were not celebrated loudly for their heroism, they're worthy of being celebrated in this small space for their professionalism and heroism.
The decision taken by captain to push the aircraft down to the left immediately and still got everyone out alive is commendable
I was at the Newark airport to fly out to SFO for a work conference when all this happened. Never knew how serious it was. We did see emergency vehicles drive out onto one of the runways from the windows, but our gate agent had told us they were there for training purposes lol. Wasn't until I got to SFO that I heard the news from my then girlfriend about the situation, and didn't really learn what happened inside the cockpit until just now. Those pilots are heroes, thanks for this video!
I was a barrister on board. It remains to be the most intense moment in my life. Thumps up to the Pilots
what did the pilot say in the announcement im curious
Even after landing at Newark, we were on the runway for a good hour or so. The passenger next to me called 911 to complain about Air India and its pilots not letting him off the plane and holding him captive on American soil. It got hot inside and the air hostesses were literally fanning the guy! I should have a picture somewhere.
When we landed, someone remarked about it being September 11. Newark had ambulances and fire trucks lined up next to the landing strip! What a day -- and what a miracle to be alive; all thanks to Captain Rustom Palia! Hope to run into him someday and thank him personally.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I can't imagine how hard that would have been.
@@_WyngX The horror set in only after we heard about the system failure a few days later. It was a short 3 day business trip for me, so I in fact heard about the multiple failures after I returned to India on the 14th. That's when the horror really set in!
@@AshishArun1 It must be very hard for you guys. You know I have Aero phobia...I am very much scared to fly. I just want to know from you that so u still fly? And if yes how you manage your anxiety?
Pls reply
I always try to postpone my trip to India from USA by making some excuses but the real fear is this one.
What an irony this happened on 9/11 and passengers called 911 as well then.
What a professional interaction. Clear and concise. The pilot was very experienced because of the way he spoke. Air India hired the right people ❤❤ my motherland. Born in Singapore, raised in Canada but ancestry is India. Proud to be one
❤❤
Really not the video to flaunt your faux patriotism lmfao. You're not an Indian!
Indian Workers-Trained, Hardworking & honest… Have good qualifications.
Reliable
Wow. I'm in love with the pilots' professionalism. They were just calm. And related all Thier errors to ATC so calmly. The traffic controller at NewYork JFK did an amazing job. He analyzed the issues worked out an alternative Airport for the flight crew of AI 101. These people are,the type of people we need in other to make aviation safer. Those pilots deserve congratulations. ❤ they deserved it
It’s their daily job and they are trained for such scenarios. Nothing new.
@@sai-fr7yy and you think everyone is good at their daily job when they are trained? under that pressure of dying? get out of your room sometimes.
They are former IndianAir Force member and thats a trade mark attitude thorughout Indian Armed Forces. So Cool ❤
@@apariharyya that would be great, but how do you know they were with the armed forces before?
@@sai-fr7yy They are paid to handle tough situations but it doesn't work that way in precarious situations where almost all crucial systems start failing and weather isn't supporting (like 200 ft overcast to begin with). Not everyone has the superb sense of clarity and action in turmoil even if they have knowledge.
Like someone else said, please don't belittle another's amazing job of saving lives in this kind of situation.
It only shows your ignorance at such things. This is called laid-back arm-chair commentary.
This applies to jobs like military or medical work where unexpected deadly situations require instinct to take right decision.
Thank God that many were saved and prayers answered.
I literally got goosebumps the moment the scene of the plane landing and honestly it's so moving and inspiring because these pilots were placed in such heavy and highly stressful environment, and with everything that's going on, my god - these 4 pilots are highly calm, professional and focused on solutions. It's truly truly a motivating video for me to do better in my job and with calm despite the pressures. They 4 really are amazing. If they're reading this, I salute you 4.
Thank you very much! :)
indeed
Absolutely outstanding work on this video. Terrific editing, graphics, script, bit of dramatic music, good quality ATC audio usage, just really well done overall. Same with all your videos. Very high standard. Hope you keep doing them ! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
The way how the pilots handled just portrays how immense a training they need to go through, with the ives of so many people in their hand. Hats off to them and to the narration as well 👏
Thank you very much! :)
The pilots played GOD with people's lives. They were lucky.
For being a passenger on that flight it was horrifying people were so nervous and anxious and people were crying, and I get why. also I was thinking it’s September 11th and it was over New York and I was like, something like that can never happen again. I just have to thank the pilots for safely land the plane it’s was got me into aviation it should be a day to remember… great video it deserves more likes because you said EVERYTHING so accurately. And from what I remember (I was 7) someone had a anxiety attack or a heart attack and I remember a few people volunteering to help. I’m 13 now and I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
Thanks for sharing your story, Gavin! :)
the captain is my uncle, I call him Uncle Rusty
That was an OUTSTANDING job by the Flight Crew Members of that Aircraft!! Wonderful work and congrats for keeping your cool, with the unpredictable!
Can't believe the fact that there is no investigation or reports on the incident. Shame on you Air India. Please don't wait for something to happen to act.
Shame on air india? No they worked hard to get the plane land safely and carried all the passengers safely with no injuries, the instrument failures were totally unpredictable and u can’t blame them for that! Instead of shaming air india , congratulate them for all the hardwork they put in , in order to get the flight to land safely
@@saanvehh he didn't shame the pilots, he's shaming the company. Air India is awful.
No investigation? Perhaps there should be redundant computer system. Life is priceless. Should learn lesson and take corrective action so human lives are not put at risk. Can there be better safety checks so the plane never takes off with such issues?
Bro, it was hurried. It was clearly a cyber attack.
I feel like this is one of the most difficult situation because there isn't one obvious thing that makes a mayday call immediate. bad weather, low fuel, some instrument unreliable. all on there own could not be a big deal, but each and every one slowly creeping up, making a difficult situation suddenly an emergency. Kudos to the pilot and ATC. they handle this great
that has to be the best airplane story i ever heard and saw. also, what a clear convo between ATC and crew. bravo!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Excellent storytelling! As a passenger on this route, I feel connected to all the souls on this flight. I wonder why Bollywood is not considering making a movie about this real-life event.
True, instead of crap movies like Animal, they should consider this.
Don’t know who’s going to enjoy a half an hour film….!!!!
@@kayy_kayy5525me! I'd love for short documentaries to be made on incidents like these. i hate most of the mainstream bollywood crap with a passion.
I've said this before and I'll say it now, Air India has some of the best pilots in the world. There is no doubt that they have to upgrade the aircrafts and amenities, but some of the best take-offs and landings I've had are with Air India. They have amazingly talented pilots, but they should invest in training their flight attendants. I hope Air India comes up (now that it has come home to the Tata Group) and soars even higher. Travelling to and from Japan in the B747 in 1996 and regular trips to and from the UAE from 2011-2017 have made me a lifetime fan of the brand.
I second that.
On what basis are you saying that?
i have experienced the same thing. smoothest landings despite older aircraft models.
Salutes to the pilots to have saved 360 people,and it makes me proud to praise the heroes being Indian.
Boeing-777, whats newer than that ?
sounded like a very competent Pilot. also, great communication between the tower. lucky souls.
This channel is criminally underrated. Hope it grows exponentially.
Thank you so much! :) You are very kind! :)
Excellent work@@_WyngX
Thank you :) @@FernandoEidPires
@@_WyngXbro who did the animation? Feels like a high budget movie, so much attention to details, even inside the cockpit. So much research.
Thanks a lot mate. Glad you liked it! :)@@iamsubham333
What wonderful team work by all the four pilots displaying extreme professionalism and courage. The Captain's conversation with the ATC shows that he had been calm and confident throughout and this is what exactly expected of a pilot during such times of crisis. He saved 270 souls onboard by his skills and professional attitude. He didn't panic. Bravo. Salute to the entire air india crew. Best regards from Pakistan
These pilots really saved all the passengers. The calmness they should is super appreciable.
Literally got goosebumps.. I aspire to be a pilot one day and this shook me to the core. I appreciate the pilots sense of judgement and their prompt actions that made the landing possible.
Makesure you be a smart one ..not dumb pilot..
@@FinaJiriAnd don't fly for Air India if you value your life and that of your passengers.
Salute to the Crew and ATC , it was amazing and crisp communication to save 340 on boarded souls
Hats off to these BRILLIANT pilots !!! God was certainly present in their time of need. So a combination of both saved their lives!!!
This is an incredible story how the Pilot handles the situation effectively without panicking the passengers..
Reading passenger comments on this video, it sounds like they were pretty damn panicked.
Absolutely SO satisfying to see the level of professionalism displayed by the crew and the ATC. Concise communication, perfect execution. Crisis averted.
Can't imagine that this was your first video.
Your storytelling is insanely good.
I'm sure your channel is going to explode soon!
Thank you so much!
Hats off to pilots and ATC for their professionalism. They really avoided another disaster. Excellent presentation. Seen this on other RUclips channels but your step by step explanation of this event is really good. Thumbs up and subscribed to your channel immediately. Looking for more such aviation.
Thank you so much Vinay! :)
Awesome editing. Better than most of the aviation shows in TV
That’s so kind. Thank you so much Preeti ☺️
Interesting that you know it's not preetib
Why would I think it is Preetib 😂
These pilots must be rewarded and honoured, for safely landing nearly 300 souls and avoiding another 9/11 tragedy.
God bless them all
The way pilots keep there head calm.very professional and accurate approach and the immediate response from ATC,to sort out the things are really commendable.
Absolutely! :)
Beautifully narrated bro!! No theatre or unwanted drama. You scripted it well. And i assume you are a pilot yourself. 170 subscrivers shocked me; you deserve more. Thank you sir!
Exactly my thoughts.
Thank you very much. I am glad you loved it. Yes, it was a challenge to know where to draw the line as this was my first one, but I am glad it hit the mark!
Update. It’s 7.74K subscriber count now
Awesome ❤ proud of you Captain and Pilots for making the right decisions and not panicking. Saved 370 souls ❤
0:06 “New York, September 11th” is always a terrifying start 😅
hahaha! :D
We salute the pilots and the coordinators for their incredable efforts. Thank you guys❤😢🥳
Totally agreed! :)
Now that really is 'working as a team', given that they had never met each other before!
I have watched this video more than 10 times and still love the story, true class act and professionalism of the highest standard.
Reminded me of two times we had scare The presence of mind of Cockpit crew averted……
Air India pilots are the Best in the world
I have worked with Air India in the 80’s
Thanks for sharing God bless
Dropping hearts for the highly professional pilots crew! ❤️❤️
Thanks for covering this!
Pilots remained so calm and kind the whole time. I’d be a basket case
Amazing how this fantastic crew managed to stay calm, composed and focussed to save 370 souls on board despite being in such a grave situation.
Kudos to the angels in the cockpit and the controllers. They did not let panic get the better of them.
It is to the credit of the angels and controllers in the cockpit that they did not let panic get the better of them, but remained calm and focused during the crisis.
I love how the information shared between the pilots and the ATC was crisp and clear.😊
Indian pilots have marvellous skill and talent to work in panic and pressure
Hats off to the pilots …..
Great graphics. An experienced crew definitely made the difference in this case. I worked at JFK Airport for 15 years and I know how crazy it gets during inclement weather.
Thank you 🙏
its not graphics,its microsoft flight simulator game
Thanks for this first-class video. Apart from relaying this amazing feat of aviation by the pilots and input from the ATC, thanks also for the explanations of ILS, radio altimeters and other aviation related terms - some of the clearest and best explanations I have yet heard!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful. Professionalism at its finest. Kudos to those pilots. I wish people in this world could behave like pilots.
This story has been told wonderfully. You have explained all the complicated flight stuff so well! It was such a good video that I watched the entire 22 minutes, never got bored because of your awesome storytelling! Your tone matched with the story very well
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching ☺️
20:08 - The moment I had been waiting for, when the plane's wheels touched the runway, and everything was finally lifted off my shoulders. Had the crew not made the decisive call to land, we can only imagine what terrible fate could have awaited the flight.
Desperate times calls for Desperate measures and that's what the pilots effortlessly did. They synchronized with both the ATCs thus landing safely at Newark Intl. Airport. Hands down to the Pilot and the controller who together saved so many souls.🙏♥️✨️
Just came across this channel, very impressed with the quality and graphics. I can tell you worked had to create this masterpiece. Keep up the good work. Please carry on releasing content. Thank you. From a aviation enthusiast.
Thank you so very much. I sincerely appreciate the encouragement! :)
Having been a mentour pilot and green dot fan for years, I can't express how happy I am to have found this channel ❤
Communication from ATC is a perfect example of professional communication ❤ Good Job
Loved how the conversation between the Pilots and ATC officials was so calm and so little panic ‘
but ATC got the number of passengers (270 not 370) and the amount of fuels wrong!!
No panicking from pilots …as hearing their voice …
Saved them thus to maintain calm, composed and fully aware is key for pilots …
#kudos
Amazing. The pilots calm headed handling of the situation and their professional approach is commendable. God bless these pilots !!
Couldn't agree more!
this is my first video on your channel and I subbed at about 2 mins into the video- the editing, the transitions, the everything is SO good. the way information is presented is beyond professional, like, holy wow your videos are stunning. thank you for educating me on this!
Oh thank you so very much. That’s very kind of you to say and I appreciate the encouragement. Thanks 🙏 for watching ☺️
No one gonna talk that it was on September 11💀
No we ain’t 😭💀
And it's about flight 😂
@@MeraBaapHaiTu31And in New York 😭
Captain did a great job ., saving the lives of the passengers and crew
Indians are so talented I love how they landed that plane. I can feel how painful that moment could be for the pilots and passengers. They are very successful people in every aspect of life such as Technology, Health Care, Politics, Film industry and much more. Kudos to those people who saved hundreds of lives for this plane.
Yeah that’s why we have shitty airplanes, every year many people die of train accidents, very few innovations/researches happening in India. I’m Indian, but Indians are good in replicating/copying and never good in inventing at least this modern generation. All Indians who have invented something are not from India.
Jesus of Nazareth was the Captain of the Air place. Read Psalms 51. Heaven bless the pilots.
This is a story of incredible teamwork and resilience. The pilots, ATC, and crew worked together to overcome a series of challenges and land the plane safely. It's an inspiration!
always stoked to find new airplane stimulators/investigations channels! you did a great job! very informative, your narration keeps me engaged as its not monotone. great video!
Cheers mate. I am glad you liked it and it's great to have you here. Thanks for watching. Keen to know what you thought of the other two videos too.! :)
What an incredible video. Can't imagine the amount of work you guys would have put in making such a wonderful animation.
Thanks a lot Abhishek! :)
Good use of msfs!
I’m watching this right after the PIA aviation disaster from May 2020 video. This is such a contrasting experience and it makes me so proud of Indian pilots 🥲
Thank you. Having worked in Ministry of Civil Aviation, I appreciate your video. I really wonder how it was not reported by Pilots and also in 'Incident Report '. It won't happen again, since the TATA has now taken over Air India.
It definitely was reported by the pilots, but Air India has not released the investigation report to the public, so I had no official sources to know what the exact reasoning was. The video was made based on video interviews the pilots made to NDTV after the incident. Yes, now that Tata has taken over, I am keen to see how Air India improves. They have just made a large order of new aircraft. Fingers crossed to see the Maharaja being an actual Maharaja! :)
It was reported. I made and released the video in 4 days of the incident. If I would not have made the video, no one would have known about this incident. ruclips.net/video/5FTw9TQtw38/видео.html
Great video by Wyngx especially with the narration and simulation.
@@_WyngXmaharaja would exist if goI didn't keep pumping in billion$ yearly. Corrupt aviation Ministers and officials didn't plan to shift the hubs to uae.
I recently flew from JFK to DEL (including return) and believe me both the times the aircraft were too old to be considered safe. Most of their TVs and remotes were malfunctioning and the seats were too old. Well, I was hardly interested in TVs, remotes, and seats etc., what was bothering me were the conditions of the instruments crucial for flying because they were most likely be as old the TVs, remotes etc. If this video would have come two months ago and if I would have watched it I would have never flown with Air India. I still do not want to fly again with Air India because of their poor hospitality. I really hope that Air India consider replacing all of their too old aircraft before any major event happens.
@@sachinsisodiya4524you really think they don't check the instruments? 😂
Wow! Kudos to you, this was not a video but a whole movie! Love the quality and efforts put into this, especially explaining the various instrument failures in depth in such a easy way was great! Keep up the good work, I bet you'll be at 100K Subs soon :-)
That's very kind and nice of you to say, Steven. Thank you very much! :)
Great commendable performance by the Air India flight crew! Multiple instruments failures is an indication of sub-standard aircraft maintenance and maintenance procedures; not an area to take shortcuts.
Awesome work done by pilot, crew members, atc... True team work. Incident like this must be appreciated
I cant even fly aeroplane properly in game but pilots fly a real plane kudos to them. They are great♥️
I still have photos and videos of that day…we landed in Newark…and was stuck in the flight for more than 4 hours…9/11 2018.. a day to remember
Hats off to the Pilots, Newark controllers. 777 is indeed a work horse. I love this model and series.
Being a pilot myself (not commercial), the pilots did an astounding job with A101 heavy. Then the ATC's at JFK and EWR did an awesome job as well.
Air India needs to really turn up their maintenance. Every system must work on an airplane. It's not a bus where you can stop and fix it en route. I am sure the incidents are reported and logged. They just didn't make a press release for already struggling airlines but the word quickly got around.
I flew AirIndia many times and there are maintenance issues for sure. They just ignore the priority of safety inside the cockpits and in the main cabin.
The crew themselves are prepared for more than standard training. I won't be surprised if they have handyman tools to fix problems.
Thanks for sharing! :)
With so many failures, landing safely was completely pilot's high experience with luck.
Pilot and the Traffic controller definitely should be given award to save full flight. God bless them. 😊❤🥺
Wow those air India pilots and captain are amazing. They were looking at an utter catastrophe but kept their cool and used every resource and effort to best land the plane. They were very lucky too because if they did not land on their first attempt at the 400 ceiling of Newark, then there would be no second chance. They did really well. I hope the Indian Govt honoured them for that. Those pilots professionalism and calmness and focus saved everyone's life on the plane. The ATCs was very professional and helpful too.
I can't help but compare those skilled air India pilots to the Air France pilots of 2009. The Air France flight was not in any kind of real trouble, but because they did not take corrective actions when the stall warning came on, that is what killed them. They were not on autopilot and had stall warnings for at least four minutes and were at an altitude where they could easily have recovered from. But the black box recorder showed that the pilots ignored the stall warnings and didn't even mention them. The pilots were utterly confused as to why the plane was losing altitude and behaving as it did. It took until seconds before the crash for one of the pilots to work out that the planes nose had been pointing up the whole time.
That's a very interesting comparison. Thanks for your inputs and I am glad you enjoyed the video! :)
The crew can't just praise them enough... The calm The showed just shows their professionalism 😇
I m so impressed....imagine the mindset and patience these 4 pilots had... hero hain bhai hero 😍😍😍😍😍
Great Video! One of the best narration and with detailed visuals. I see the name of the plane written (Nagaland) near the nose (Yes planes were given names of the states when they were commissioned) and it’s tail number on the steering. Didn’t expect this much detail. Appreciate creator’s efforts!
Thank you very much for noticing the details Sumit ☺️
16:41 Damn, that 777 had some real power to reach those speeds without breaking apart
Hahahaa... I was wondering if anyone would spot that goof! Good eye! :D
Can you further explain what you just said regarding the speed? Were you a pilot once Sir?
@@brentsarazin6597No I've never been a pilot myself, just a random Aviation geek. No airliner currently can travel at 550 KIAS, 777's VMO is about 330 KIAS only. Basically the aerodynamic forces would put so much stress on the plane's body that it would break apart mid air. But this is a simulator in the video that's why it survived.
TY for your reply and keep lookin up!@@greenesyt563
