The near-misses are fascinating, and must happen far more often than we like to think! The first reminded me of the infamous mid air collision of a passenger and cargo plane in Europe around 20 years ago, killing all occupants of both planes. The second near miss on the runway could have been another Tenerife Airport disaster. Chilling! Great storytelling and visuals, bravo.
I was flying the other day on SW. We were cruising around 34,000 feet and around 550 mph. I was looking out the window and I actually saw another airliner going in the opposite direction . I cant explain to you how fast that thing came by and was gone. This was the first time I had ever seen something like that while flying.
That would be a combined air speed of 900 mph. Major blunder by ATC. There’s supposed to be several thousands of feet between airliners going opposite directions.
@@riverwildcat1 yeah there was some distance between us but not sure how much but it was clearly another SW plane. I didn't even have enough time to show anyone it was out of my view very quickly.
Had the same thing happen on a flight I was on 20 years ago, except the other plane was approaching from the side. There wasn't time to be scared or understand what was happening. It was "what's that smudge out there in the sky?" Then the next moment it zoomed over us (probably 1000 ft separation as per regulations). And in retrospect, "Oh, it was another plane."
It absolutely boggles my mind how 2 experienced airline pilots, flying for a reputable, long-established airline operated by an advanced, industrialized country, could commit such a bonehead error as mistaking a taxiway for a runway. Every student pilot learns that runway lights are clear and taxiway lights are blue. Fundamentals of flying. I wish I could have listened in on their ensuing meeting with the chief pilot.
Your mind will take what it sees, and try to make it fit what it expects to see, even to the point of disregarding obviously contradictory information. They expected to see two lit runways. And their mind turned the lit taxiway into the second lit runway. A decade ago I was driving on a rural highway at night when I saw some billboards off to the right whose lights had gone out. Then I noticed the billboards seemed to be moving. My mind tried to reconcile it. Suddenly the billboards stopped moving, and the highway I was on began twisting and warping, almost like the rendition of vertigo you see in movies. A moment later the highway stabilized and the billboards began moving again. Then I realized those weren't dark billboards, they were containers on a train that was moving. Remember, your brain doesn't know the true state of the world around you. It has to take the info your senses provide, and _generate_ what it _thinks_ is the true state of the world around you. And that process is not foolproof (optical illusions are a common example of when this process fails).
We were flying over Ireland, in 2001, I was looking out the window as we flew over an Aer Lingus flight. It was as Scary as can be … maybe 150’ separation. Really?
Those four planes waiting to take off will never fly again with the weight from the cumulative shit all the passengers took simultaneously when they saw Air Canada approaching head-on….
One time at Toronto's Pearson airport I saw a similar scene - except there was only one aircraft on the runway and the approaching plane saw it much sooner and aborted the landing. Still - it was a really scary to witness that.
A particularly scary part of the EasyJet flight is that the failure also meant that they couldn't divert, because the radio being out meant they couldn't talk, and the beacon being out meant - in addition to its other effects - that they couldn't squawk their status (by switching to 7600, the emergency code that says "My radio's out"). Any diversion could have been construed as moving to ram something, and so they had to continue following their flight plan. Fortunately, they were able to continue to their destination and land safely, leaving us with a story of a near miss and two clever pilots, instead of a tragedy.
General aviation novice question here: are ALL pilots drunk and/or on drugs ALL the time? Or just SOME of them are ALL the time? Perhaps ALL of them are SOME of the time? Anyone knows this for sure? Some of us would really like to know.
easyJet flight: We went from a near mid-air collision at 32,000,000 feet with no radios and other on-board systems inoperative to landing safely with nothing in between! What the fuck happened? Both with the plane and the video? 🍌😤😤
I don’t even find the need to comment at all to any of these time of “flight” videos, but come on! I guess the unnecessary(ness) of double checking even ground clearance is a minuscule hassle for the pilots.🤷🏽♂️I’m planning to fly out next year, Sept.. Can ask you please to beef up your flight training please. Thank you.🙏🏾
In the first part, wasn't there any RAT system in that aircraft? What about the internal batteries? What function did the internal batteries play at the time of the Generator failure? For the second part, was the captain of the first aircraft in the taxiway blind? He should have played a vital role in such a situation. He must have knocked the tower about the heading of that landing aircraft. Such phenomena can easily detect the situational awareness of a person who is in a serious job like an aircraft pilot.
First question: The A319 is indeed equipped with an RAT, but it and the batteries were irrelevant to the situation. I've watched other videos on the incident, which explain in more detail. The failure wasn't in either Generator 1, or the APU; it was in the left-side main power bus, the part that distributes the power generated by the engine generator and/or APU. The plane was generating all the power it needed. The problem was, with that main power bus out, that power wasn't going _anywhere_, let alone where it was supposed to. Second question: No, it's a problem of angles. The taxiway is quite close to the runway, so the difference would initially be imperceptible. Add to that, the Captain of the first plane in line may have been busy with something occurring inside the cockpit (there's any number of tasks they and their copilot might have been busy with, especially since they were now first in line to depart, and thus needed to finish takeoff configuration checklists ASAP). Even the sharpest eye will miss that something's wrong if they're looking in a different direction.
@benjaminfinlay829 Thank you very much for such a wonderful response. I am honored and grateful. Still, I feel something is missing in the second scenario. Would you consider those few words from any of the captains?
@@tauhidalquader I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. Could something else have been said that would be more professional? Possibly, but the pilots must have been quite shocked to see a plane trying to land on the taxiway. If you want to see more info on the incident, I believe there's other videos that go into more detail.
And they reckon only Boeing has faulty planes ! How many planes crisscrossed with that EasyJet A319 !!!!!! What would have been the losses of human life without a bit of luck in that scenario !!!!!
Why land on the runway whose lights are turned off ... They should use all red lights or all green lights like traffic lights on runways to signal like ITS ALL RED LIGHTS ALL ALONG THE RUNWAY SO DONT LAND OVER HERE ...
Hey, I know you’ve been doing the videos for years, but instead of reuploading them you could remaster them? An even better approach would be to start streaming flight simming. I wouldn’t mind seeing you fly on a stream.
@@mawj09eas4genuine question: what would you rather he posted? Hes realistically run out of accidents (or at least interesting ones) to make videos on and thankfully they arent exactly a regular occurrence these days so?…
So you have flown it "all over" and you are alive. Why did you keep flying it? They got you where you needed to go. You flew it "all over". but then say everyone else are idiots for flying them? HUH?
TCAS only works if both planes have working transponders. Since the transponder went down with the radios and other electronics, it could not possibly work in this situation.

EasyJet - the only airline with livery the same shade of orange as the fake tan used by the cabin crew.
Is it Hooters Air leftovers? 😅

That was way too close, 2 near miss collisions, though the 2nd one was really reckless
Tower: "759 do not go around I repeat do not go around. Find another airport and goodnight."
More than 1000 people came close to dying in SFO that night!
Cool! I can't understand why they wouldn't use ILS if it's available, it should be mandatory on commercial flights.
Yet one more confirmation of my decision to stop flying.
you are not alone

Yup, gotta wonder what the two up front were looking at. And why didn't the guy not flying mention something..as in...no runway lights?
they were fatigued
6:41, shouldn't that be 1.9 seconds? At that speed a plane will cover a far greater distance in 19 seconds.
2:09 best airlines in the backround
Oopsie. Glad everyone was safe. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey , Hello ! What flight sim do you use for this vidéo ?
I remember when this happened. So close
Just curious - - did you witness the event personally?
HOW IN THE HELL did the flight crew mistake Taxiway "Charley" as Runway 28 Right? That could of resulted in one very horrific disaster at SFO.
There wasn't a lighted X on SFO 28L?
WOW!!!
ending hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That was so random to see. Must be a mistake in editing!
nice vid!
