These pilot actors are terrific. They really make this dramatization feel so real.
I forget they're actors😂
@@godsdaughter9042indeed I used to think this wasn’t acting but the real thing until I though hmm they have a whole lot of angles recorded for it being a accident nonetheless these actors are absolutely amazing since they fooled me making me think these videos where the real deal instead of reenactments
@@godsdaughter9042lmao
@lorimeyers3839 absolutely good actors at playing out this horrible tragedy. You can literally feel their struggle when the stabilizer unjams suddenly!
@@Killshot15 🤦♂ Sure every airplane has a camera crew in the cockpit just in case they crash....
Not one single Alaska Airline supervisor went to prison. Plus, they fired and ruined the career of the mechanic who alerted authorities. Shameful.
Isn't that ALWAYS what happens in these cases? The brass asses always find ways to lay the blame for their greedy actions on some poor slob making barely minimum wage while they pocket millions!
I know, right? and he was never able to work in the industry again, so they said in the documentary.
@@michelleroberts6597- Technically, he did stay in the airline industry, but he didn't work as an airline mechanic again! He is an avionics mechanics instructor in Clearwater, Florida now. And, he was paid a $500,000 settlement from Alaska Airlines to resign.
Technically, John Liotine didn't get fired. Instead, Alaska Airlines paid him $500,000 to quit. He went on to become a successful airline mechanics instructor in Clearwater, Florida. So, although he didn't work directly as an airline mechanic, he's done well for himself and stayed in the industry as an avionics mechanic instructor. In the US, they don't send anyone to prison. They just rework the rules to make sure certain accidents don't happen again. However, what is amazing is how many other ways people find to cause new accidents!
@Reality_TV that's great to know. thank you for sharing. although, it probably took years off his life, poor guy.
No protection for maintenance engineers who report mismanagement and breaches of safety protocols!! And the Safety Inspector tells them "you have to be prepared to find work in a different industry if you become a whistle-blower" and does nothing to change that! Crazy.
Same thing in medical, social work, mental health, community care etc etc. Australia. No protections for people who are aware of faults and risks of harms to be able to speak up.
@@kylieharrison3782 In any country. We should make whistle blowers heroes, instead we make them pariahs. I think this shows a large segment of the population is doing something wrong and wouldn't want a whistle blower in their job area, company or industry
Working people have no protection from liars or antagonistic management. It can ruin the financial future and create a real mess. It's just ridiculous.
My question is when all instrument goes crazy the control Tower should call the air force to intervene and guide the plane to land safely at the airport.
There's something very wrong with this country that none of the executives at Alaska Airlines did jail time for this.
completely agree. Most of these videos, it's people doing their best and something unfortunate happens. And I don't think they should go to jail or necessarlily lose their jobs.
But These ****s deliberately endangered their passengers to save a few bucks. I have no idea why they would not do jail time.
wonder how that mechanic feels just smearing some grease on that and leaving the nut dry:(
It honestly at this point disgusts me that I rode with Alaskan airlines so often you have a very valid point
What a shame
Cz its Alaska dude , NOT , the rest of the US , get it ....!? Alaska apparently has ITS OWN way of governing , so just accept it already , damn clown !
The passenger who said Capt. Piche is not a hero is one smug and ungrateful wretch. That pilot did what had never been done before and saved over 300 lives, what a man and a hero!
It was a angel hero!!
They need to give that First Officer more credit. He was on it.
2:34:21
He said he wasn't a hero, but was a great pilot! Some people use the term hero for people they consider going above and beyond. Piche saved himself and prevented the plane from crashing. In other words, he did his job!
Yes, but the situation would never have happened in the first place, if he had relied on the computer warning and searched for a landing opportunity immediately. He obviously so much WANTED it to be just a computer error - but one cannot think like that.
That Alaska Airline one really hits hard. On all levels.
Shame on Alaska airlines for cutting corners on essential maintenance schedules to boost profits causing that horrific crash.
It’s a shame many companies cut corners for profit that can cause hazardous conditions for others
Every plane made is flown by all the airlines, there are just a handful of large passenger jet manufacturers, there are hundreds if not thousands of airlines, every manufacturer has built in what's referred to as tombstone technology, Google it, most accidents that are equipment or mechanical failure are a result of that, not the airline, except alligent air, never, ever fly Alligent, got that snippet from a Friend in the industry....tombstone technology, it's an excepted and known😢 statistic....😮 the ffa has approved of known tombstone technology so has NTSB, money matters not lives
Sounds a LOT like American Airlines flight 191 that, on May 25, 1979, lost an engine and crashed because of cost cutting and incompetent UNION employees cutting corners to save time. The UNION of Alaska Airlines is as much to blame as the airline because they KNEW of the illegal practices and did nothing to stop them! If they can bring down a major airline like they did at Eastern, a maintenance issue should have been a piece of cake for them.

I was working on a fishing vessel and we were just about to dock in Port Hueneme when the coast guard put the sos out. We turned around and headed back out. We were the 1st vessel on scene. All that was left on the surface was an oil slick clothing and dead bodies. Not a day goes by that I don't think about those people on that plane. I truly believe that flight crew did everything they could but the end was inevitable because of the shitty maintenance done on that aircraft by Alaska Airlines. I will never ever forget that day
Alaska Airlines put everyone in danger, including their own employees(flight crew). Crazy mentality
the most heartbreaking one was with Alaska 261.They fought it till the end but there was nothing that could had done to save them.May all rest in peace

I don't know what to say
This is the first episode of this show that I ever watched, it took my breath away. Something about these two actors that portrayed the pilots in this episode really got to me. I think they absolutely portrayed the two men perfectly by all the information we find out about them throughout. They did absolute everything they could in situations that would have caused others to give up long before they hit the ocean. What the passengers went through is unimaginable, it makes me quite emotional. Some of these crashes are easier to digest because I suppose the suddenness and shock experienced in that situation might make it less terrifying but they all knew absolutely what was happening, and it was painful. Although I picture the actors in my head when I do I think of these two pilots often… they embody what pilots are supposed to, and should be to this day.
Terrifying. I cant help to think the worst when i fly. Just knowing that however heroic or how strong your will to live is, there is absolutely nothing you can do to save yourself or others. Such a helpless feeling. Rest in peace brave travelers. 😢
Totally love that JOEY JERAMIAH HIMSELF is playing the part of the Lima tower ATC controller.
Everybody want something, I guess!
hahah for real, same reaction
I was looking for this comment 😂
YES! The Captain and First Officer WERE heroes! They overcame the lack of others and saved so many lives.
There was a worse incident air Canada when the pilots engineers and ground crew made a huge mistake converting kilos to tons of fuel while fueling . So they had half the fuel needed to get to their destination. They had to glide to the runway safely. Thank heavens. They gave better training in conversions which was new to all of them. They used the wrong formula.
@@sharoncassell9358 Yes the Gimli Glider Air Canada Flight 143
Mayday all rest in peace ✌
Every time I fly to Europe I can’t stop thinking about this exact tragedy. I look down into the dark skies knowing the dark cold ocean is waiting for the next victim.
Ohh man and that is a long trip!
If they had an older plane they would be used to crossfeeding fuel. Military C 141 still use old systems. Training in a new system has to be taught. Never assume that fuel cannot leak away even if it's a new aircraft. Especially if the engine was recently serviced or changed which pilots should see in prior to flight maintenance log. We call mechanics who mess up detainers. I was a C141 mechanic and paid very close attention to repairs or replacement parts. It breaks my heart to hear when shoddy maintenance occurs. I've seen it happen and wrote about it on other channels & incidents. You must take the repairs seriously because the plane can't pull over and fix the mess in the air.
I have flown across the Atlantic 16 times once at the USS United States. I won't fly again
Instead, think about the sheer number of successful takeoffs and landings that occur all over the world every single day. Doesn't even compare!
@@watchgoose So do I think about the millions who fly safely every day. But the wrong size bolts used to fasten the windscreen which failed and the captain was sucked out (& was held by a crew member outside the aircraft) bc a mechanic “eyeballed” the replacement bolts….your life belongs to your crew & aircraft mechanics!!!
That first one, knowing that the pitot tubes were covered due to ground crew attempting to clean the plane, and the tubes being covered by tape and knowing what the crew went through and the loss of life that resulted in this mistake is really sad.
The Peruvian flight kills me. The pilots were being bombarded by conflicting alarms and ATC was giving them erroneous altitudes and air speed. They had very little chances to save the plane. Prayers for them, the passengers and all involved.
All flights that do end successfully are horrible. Some are a bit more dubious than others. All these pilots are extremely brave and never gave up. Prayers for all victims.
I agree with you 100% what a lame ground control system! the ground system gets all of it's information from the crazy computer causing all the problems? what's the point of radar? I thought airport controllers got all their info from those rotating radars! it makes no sense. the controller did not seem to be aware that it's the jets computer reporting that data! I am sure this controller was shocked to learn his control systems cheat and get their data from a malfunctioning computer on the plane itself! this is one of those things that show how evil money is.
Didn't kill you, did kill many others though....
aaa m
A piece of tape was covered on the static ports, causing incorrect readings and the crash.
I fly a lot and never take a safe landing for granted until the airplane touches down
All 3 incidents coverage and reporting absolutely nothing short of awesome and the complete presentation excellent and thank you for no inappropriate language.
Insane they were able to stay as clam as they did with everything that was happening especially with several loud alarms blaring the whole time. I would have had a panic attack so fast had I been flying that plane. The whole situation is so sad.
At least the pilots have some level of control. Imagine if you were a PASSENGER. All those MINUTES of the most unimaginable terror. You’re upside down in a plane holding your child’s hands knowing you’re about to smash into the ocean and die immediately if you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky you survive the crash only to drown in icy cold salt water.
Funny they all became clam, clams, that's a hoot, why does no one proof read their post's?
You have no way of knowing what they were feeling!! You weren't there! Its a video. Not reality! You weren't there! No one knows!!! Videos like these do not capture reality! Use your brain!!!
Maybe you should take your own advice as it's spelled "posts" plural not "post's" possessive.
@@uncleleo1873 got ‘em lmao
Those are the kind of docs I love: Very interesting, formatted like a thriller, but still accurate and full of details. Very good job and thank you for uploading it to RUclips!
it was incredible!
The moment I heard about air speed reading had a rough idea this plane came down due to pitot tubes blocked thanks to watching this documentaries
Same
The pilots did an amazing job. Never gave up. I can't even imagine. A horrific crash. I can't even imagine being on one of the other planes and watching this unfold...
These are so stressful to watch yet I still watch. The second one was so sooo stressful to go through it's sad knowing that these people never once thought they would die that day while preparing to go to their flights 🛫✈️
Yes. We need to be ready every day. Our lives are short. Read the Bible. Jesus is still and always the only way to the Father.
@@davidblick2192 Amen David, and yes I do read the Bible 📖✝️ everyday, I go through the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation and I do it in order by reading a chapter a day every day until I finish then I will start again. I am currently on the Book of first Kings 👑🦁 chapter 9. So this is how I do it. Praise God that He allows me a sinner to not only read but understand what I am reading about and it's context all because of His Great Mercy and Love. Thank you My Adoni Yeshua Ti Ha'maschiach, thank you....
I don't think it would be fair to say that they never once thought they would die that day
Pilot A- Told you we make it!. ;)
Pilot B- " I think i need a change of underwear"....
God bless Capt. Piche and First Officer De Jager! Super badass men!
I had to make another comment: I do not agree with suing the daylights out of Boeing for the "built in fault" that covering those tubes for maintenance caused the error. What caused the error is leaving the tape on them, missed by every human check that was supposed to be done AFTER the maintenance. Instead of suing, how about BRAINSTORMING prevention to prevent another accident? IF I was a relative, I would suggest using bright orange, or florescent type REFLECTIVE tape! BRIGHT stuff that cannot be overlooked, and make it a routine for all maintenance workers to STOP and check their work, and for pilots to flash lights under their planes looking for bright REFLECTIVE MAINTENANCE TAPE--it would be better to spend the money inventing a product just for this type of use too. OR use battery operated reflectors with lights that have adhesive backing, anything, that can grab a person's attention so that those tubes are not left covered!! OR redesign the tubes with warning lights so that there is a reading telling pilots they are blocked. Something!!
Very good suggestions that would not cost airlines a fortune
One of Quotes that is repeatedly mentioned in these documentaries is that "regulations are made in blood" cause pleads are unheard, these airlines would try their best to cut their costs, so how will they learn? Lawsuits
*Excellent documentary*
The title makes me wonder, what's with all the plane crashes with guilty passengers
About the blocked peto tube crash, why not have an hour glass 3/4 the way filled with an orange fluorescent liquid mount on the dash ? It could even have a thin black fill line. Then you can physically see if you’re going up,down,left,or right.
That's the beauty of Analog. It's connected to the real world.
May the souls of the lost rest in peace
Thank you for posting, amazing video, makes you think about ones own existence.
Wow! but wow, thank you for such amazing documentary’s. Peace to those all that left to soon May they rest in peace. Incredible pilots.
The Captain and his first officer are heroes. They made that aircraft glide the longest an airliner ever has and saved all lives on board. Cool, calm and level-headed.
As a young marine in 1971 when we washed our C130 we covered those ports.. as part of a pre flight inspection you had to make sure they were clear.. this was not Boeing .. it was the flight crew.
No this was greed by management of the airline!😢
The tragic incident was shocked everyone who worked in the air control room. They did their best giving information but did nothing to save the flight as well all those was in board. It is a heart shaken moment. All those died in the crash let rest in peace.
Were you there? In the air traffic control tower? On the plane? How do you know exactly, precisely, who did what? Stupid commentary 😢
Obviously the situation was very confusing but how in the world did they not understand that throttles on idle, a stall warning, and a terrain warning meant they were descending. I’m no pilot but I would have pushed the throttle forward and eliminated the chance of flying into the ocean. I mean seriously, throttles in idle for that whole time. Omg
Especially fully loaded and fueled. They could have a setting of flaps and throttle position that proves flying also their horizontal bubble was working.
RIP in peace of the passengers on flying Aeroperu 603
i think i could have helped a bit with this flight. so every time I fly I always bring my Garmin portable Gps which calculates alt and speed. That would have got them some help just to get back to the ground. If i owned my own airline 2 portable gps devices would be mandatory before departure as a backup to failed equipment.
Transat airlines should've been pretty stoked that their captain ended up saving their 250 million dollar Airbus instead of ditching it in the ocean. The "Azores Glider" incident must've actually been some pretty good press for them considering how bad the situation could've been if the pilots had to ditch the airplane in the ocean after running out of fuel. It's also amazing that the leaking fuel didn't cause a major fire inside of the engine.
You should see “Gimli Glider” if you haven’t yet.
Two Canadian airlines and two seperate gliding incidents... Weird odds.
all the warnings blaring all over the cockpit yet the captain and pilot tried to maintain the composure to come to a resolve....not forgetting the crew and passengers who calmly sat there not aware of what was becoming of them....Rest in peace y'all
Pilot & Co pilot have many years of experience plus many hours of emergency scenarios they practice each month.
So for them, they have memory procedures they do and they are calmer because they are used to any & all sounds and indicators do.
What was stressing was a pilot relies in certain instruments working at night & when they are all proving false information it's chilling
I love watching Air Crash Investigation’s series’s a day before my flight ;)
Whether legislation needs to evolve in one way and needs to to actually consider murder charges against these mechanics who slack.. is a very pressing question
The pilots requested a radar reading from the control tower, but the air traffic controller didn't supply that. Was the controller unaware that they were seeing a plane transponder reading, and not a radar reading?
On radar screen data the source of the data should be indicated along with the reading.
After listening to recordings of 100's of airplane crashes, I feel VERY fortunate to be alive!!
RIP to all the victims. 😢
Great video
Eric Schreiber algunas veces voló junto con mi primo y en algunas reuniones de familia lo vi. Fue muy lamentable.
John Nance is a excellent narriator.
Absolutely stellar. I’m so pleased every time I see Nance appear as an analyst or aviation expert in one of these aviation investigation videos. Thank you John, great work. ✈️👍🏻
The Issue I have with this scenario is , Always pay Attention to the Terrain warni g. THAT should be the most pertinent Alarm! The Ground is your enemy at that point! If ANY Alarms should have been paid close attention, you would think that Warning would be quite relevant to the current situation?
Playing aircraft flight sim . I did a flight ( before watching this video) at night. While yes the terrain warning is an obvious sign … with the plane ( in the video) having all kinds of issues with its computer ( as they know it) - NOT knowing their altitude but also thinking they are at height due to ATC reading .. that water sneaks up at you at night .. I had my wife cover my altitude and I was nervous as hell under 5k .. but once that terrain warning came , I immediately went nose up
Now that’s just me gaming.. imagine them with all kinds of warnings.
But like a pilot said, go back to basics. Nose up - gain a perspective
Even if the investigator did manage to do the job despite being the co-pilot"s uncle, it is completely irresponsible to appoint him to this case.
WHY tf would that random stranger on the beach tell the father of one of the passengers on Alaska 261 how horrible it looked and how much they suffered 😢 pretty sure he knows that you don’t need to remind him
Some people have no tact or do not know the etiquette of grievance. I saw a nurse crudely tell a new mother her premature infant was in the morque. I felt very bad for her and said a few kind words to her. My heart sank how she said it. The day before the baby was ok. The lady was asking where her baby was. That was sad.
Thing is .... there is NO magic answer to peoples problems or grieves, they just need to pray , always remember God and take deep breathes !
@@liamscott9496 Pheew . Thanks . Your comment hit me like a Joe Frazier left hook . I know you probably don’t know who that is or was . Lol . But man you wrote a great comment . Take care Joey
@@ronniewoodinsteadofmt2615 yeah, ikr , I need your comment like a fish needs an umbrella dude....!
Kool , try to have a good day . And again thanks for what you wrote . For once someone wrote something refreshing and true . Later .
Love Captain Macleod’s explanation of all the details in the cockpit.
The actors in these videos are amazing! They are very convincing!
Strange, you see so few tragic plane crashes with guilty passengers................
In the AeroPeru situation, it's sad that the "You are going to die" alarm (GPWS) was the only accurate alarm and they didn't even know if they could trust it because of the wrong and erratic indications they had been receiving up to that point.
This is why I NEVER, EVER board a death machine also known as an aeroplane.
The poor pilots in the first story. How stressful and confusing. Watching these videos I've learned that you NEVER ignore the stick shaker warning and the terrain warning.
Thanks!
As an avid aviation enthusiast I really feel for these people and their families as well as anyone who dies in this manner
Question 4 you
If pitot tubes or probes were covered before plane even taxing.
How did Pilots rotate without airspeed? How did they know when to level out at cruise height if altitude indicator was blocked?
Why did they only have major issues when in arrival or final approach & no other times.
That tape wasn't put on during the flight. Something strange here
i’ve watched so many of these air crash investigation videos since i was like 13. im 21 now and alaska airlines is the first accident to really hit me in the gut, as desensitized as that may sound. i take these videos as scientific, to understand where we come from and where we are now and where we can get to. but i myself have flown alaskan airlines. those were some of the smoothest and best flights, because they stick out in my memory. it just always felt good to fly alaska. rest in peace to all victims of negligence in the airline industry, whose deaths come at the hands at others 💔
excellent job of pilots in the Alaskan LA crash - WOW, so so realistic 😢😢😢😢 so so 😔
MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE 🙏
How come the tower didn't know they were going off what the plane said for altitude.This was a lack of knowledge that caused this crash
Pitot tubes still caused problems after this in the new century with Malaysian airlines but no casualties as the pilot glided the plane back to runway.
"Tragic Plane Crashes With Innocent Passengers"
As opposed with guilty passengers?
May all these lost people have been believers and are now with God
The Aero Peru story is always so heartbreaking because one worker who forgot to remove a piece of tape set off a chain of horrible events. Such a simple thing was the catalyst for something horrible.
A Piece of Tape Causing a Commercial Airliner Filled With Passengers to Crash Into The Ocean is Absurd...As is Air Travel in General
I have to give it to the air traffic controller. He tried the best he could to help the pilots. And he stayed with them until the very end. You, sir is a hero. Even if you don't feel like it. The pilots, the passengers, and the flight crew would tell you. "Don't blame yourself. You tried to save us."
Actually many people that get paid missed it as well
1) maintenance worker forgot to remove tape.
2) his supervisor called out sick that day & person asked to watch maintenance workers also didn't double check their work.
3) Pilots sole job is to make sure plane is ready & able to fly before takeoff.
4) Boeing had poor process that was allowed to continue until this occured.
So in reality many folks were to blame, not just maintenance worker.
A similar thing happened to a Malaysia Airlines plane not too long ago but they managed to figure it out and land.
THANK GOD EVERYBODY WAS SAVED!
No matter how safe air travel becomes, there is always a little pucker factor as the plane rotates off the runway. The Air Transat incident is an example of where that pucker factor comes from.
Same for driving cars with a recall just around the corner to driving motorcycles or trucks you name it
Humans should stick to just walking.. right?
On average, there are over 6 million passenger car accidents in the U.S. every year. Road crashes are the leading cause of death in the country, resulting in more than 38,000 people losing their lives each year.
Why do people always have to do sh** references? Do we really have nothing better for an analogy?
Flight 236 pilot and co-pilot were heroes.
Install a 10$ camera on all the critical parts and display the visual on the cockpit display. The pilot could immediately understand the situation and can make proper prevention measures.
One can see the care and qualities of documentaries just by the picture before you click the video. The Alaska Airlines planes you pictured did not suffer engine failure, it lost control of its horizontal stabililizer.
The attempt to get guidance assistance should have been immediate
AeroPeru flight. Even in tiny training aircraft, there is an alternate static air source available. Shouldn’t that be available on heavy transport aircraft? Alternatively, those computer things should be eliminated since tiny trainers provide more reliable airspeed and altitude information without the need for fancy compooter thingys
The most horrific story that I remember every day I am on a plane is the young talented kids of UFA. So many parents lost their kids that day. The tragedy continued on by father killing air controller and himself
There's another video on this channel for that
Omg I can’t imagine living with the realization that I caused the loss of all lives bcus of carelessness
With the Alaska Airlines when the pilot playing the part of Ted Thompson talks about unloading the aircraft and stabbing it while it's unloaded what exactly does he mean by that? I've been curious about that for awhile.
Every single time you get on one of these, you are playing Russian Roulette. Period.
Totally agree.
2022: it was found that the Captain of AA 261 was drunk by 6x over the legal limit.
After watching several of these episodes, I can honestly say I will never set foot in any aircraft ever again. Nobody can be trusted to do their job these days.
Haven’t heard of airplane disaster carrying guilty passengers… not unless it’s from the movie CON AIR
There is just no accounting for human stupidity . Bad things can happen anywhere , anytime .
22:40 What confuses me, is how they are even detected on radar this low and far from the airport.
Who would think of calling them "innocent passengers"? Can you imagine the options
".. mostly innocent but a few suspicious passengers".
I mean no disrespect to the very real people who lost their lives that day. Nor to the families left behind to go on without their loved ones.
I thought of that, too 😂
I've learned enough from these programs to know I will never board an airplane ever again. The lives of passengers should be paramount...obviously they are not.
The day I believe what a computer tells me is the day I'll start believing in fairies.
IMO, there should be ONE SET OF BASIC MECHANICAL ANALOG instrustrumentation for pilots to fall back on. One set where their sensors can NOT be accessed by ground crew. these simple, mechanical, analog instruments would cost less than $3000.00 dollars. and while they may not be used often, they WOULD FUNCTION COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT from electronic computerized instruments.
Stupid thing about corporate greed is do you think they would considered an expenses of three thousand dollars per plane when in the case of air alaska 50 cents of grease would have gone a long ways, and yet they risked peoples lives and multimillion dollars planes to cut costs that in the example of grease or mechanical gagdes are such a small fraction of operating costs. The people that make and impliment these decisions should be in jail and loses all their assets.
Pitot tubes are basically the only way to measure the relative air conditions. There's no way around it so that's why they're treated as flight critical hardware.
This actor playing the copilot reminds me of the actor who played in Sleeping With The Enemy. His voice is sounding very similar.
Sad story rip to all
I don't like to fly. Watching these videos don't help. There is something addictive about them.
That Peru flight It’s not human error is faulty design, there should be back up like satellite gps and gyroscopes and engine rotation speed indicator to indicate actual speed and why not add night vision outside of the cabin at night. What pilots should have done is poor water in the cup to monitor plane level and should have judge speed of the plane by position of speed leavers. Why not making fail safe plane.
That Azores flight, like they can’t design a system to detect fuel leaks, installing few flow sensors and having computer analyze the data between fuel leaving the tank and going into the engine would save the day.
One thing I noticed in all of those accidents, the maintenance crews and airlines need permanent federal inspectors and every time something needs to be fixed it has to be fix and every maintenance work should be recorded on cameras attached to maintenance crews. Also there should be library of procedures in a computer system along with proper tags so they need to be scanned and inputed into computer to make sure right parts are being used and properly installed and that everything fallows maintenance schedule.
Totally heart breaking to see Alaska Airlines story
If they use tape they should have a orange string hanging from it. IMO the one that put the tape on shouldn’t have gone to jail the people that did the quality inspection should be held responsible that’s the reason they have quality inspections for that exact reason because people are human and humans forget we’re not computers.
This was a long time ago but it seemed like yesterday. I’m sorry for all your loss.
May they all Rest In Peace 🙏
Still watching from Washington State☔️
I remember the terrible crash at SF. airport, pilot hit the seawall!!!!
A quarter of a million dollars fine for the fuel leak.
A correct bracket wasn’t put on because a delay would have been expensive?
Monetary fines for a monetary lapse is a catastrophic decision.
They should have warning signs it will alert the maintenance crew to make sure that tape is off that should be something that they should put up all around the plane so the maintenance can make sure that tape is off
I never liked or trusted the rear engine planes. No idea why I just never liked that design. My favorite, believe it or not, was the DC-10. I flew in many as a young man and wow it was a HUGE plane! Most of the accidents were pilot and maintenance errors. The plane itself was amazing!
Isn't it possible to add a redundant altimeter to the pilots cabin? Especially one that is strictly mechanical? In this way no matter what happens there is always a back up. Seems like something so minor could prevent so many major problems!
It's not strictly mechanical, but the plane had a radar altimeter which should have worked. The more instruments on the plane that needed an unobstructed port, the more tape the ground crew would have used to obstruct them. There was redundancy, but the painting crew was thorough, but the pilots who did the walk-around weren't..
How about a long streamer that hangs down to the ground which is held in place by the same tape that covers the pitot port.
