@@sonjadidyk-tn4cc Obviously. The pilot and crew did very well irrespective of gender or LGBTQ identities. The comment was well meant. You and I might have phrased it differently but don't be so nitpicky.
It always blows my mind how professional and calm those pilots are in the face of such an emergency (first one), calmer than most people calling for a tow truck when stranded on the side of the highway...amazing.
Emergency procedures are hammered in from the first time pilots fly a plane, all through training, and periodic training through their companies. It becomes second nature, and when the poo hits the fan, the training kicks in and takes over, as does your need to preserve your life, as well as any people behind you. Pilots all know they are likely making life or death decisions, and that if they don't remain calm and collected, they can easily make mistakes and worsen the situation. When your are properly prepared for these things, you would be surprised how easily they come
@@Lara__Croftactually you can train females to also assess the situation and stay calm, it just takes training. For example if you were to stick a random male in there who has no flight experience, they would probably panic as well.
williamthethespian can or could you imagine landing a 747 with only two engines. Kuddos to the crew !! Well done. Also dealing with a decompression, the ability to bring the craft safely to airport.
And a surviving passenger said it was one of the smoothest landings he'd ever been in! They were expecting a rough landing after the explosion, but it ended up like butter.
The Campbells from New Zealand where the heroes that single handedly made the FAA/NTSB reverse and change the cause of the accident. Their Son went into the #3 engine and didn't have to endure the entire fall down to the ocean like others passengers.
There was a documentary about this on NZ tv some years ago. The father was a mechanical engineer and he did his own research and fought real hard to get the manufacturer to accept the real cause of that door failure.
While the NTSB and FAA were doing their investigation, the plane was parked at Hickam AFB which is next door to HNL. I actually saw it with my own eyes, while my flight was taxiing out for takeoff to California. The hole at that time was completely covered with many layers of clear plastic sheeting, but you could see it for what it was. Damn good pilots! You notice that his retirement age was 60 then? They raised it to 65, so they could reap the benefits of highly experienced pilots like Captain Cronin.
I just want to say "thank you" to this channel for making such high quality videos, explaining everything in great detail, and being respectful to the victims of these tragedies. As someone who worked aviation for years, I learn alot from your content.
I know nothing about aviation but my late partner gained his pilots licence quite late in life . There is so much you have to learn so I appreciate everything a pilot does.. I love this channel and the music is so haunting .. regards!!
Many people have remarked that the damage from the tail strike had gone unnoticed for 22 years. But astonishing as that is, what struck me is what a remarkably well-built plane the 747 was to not have given out WAY sooner to that damage than those over 2 decades!
I thought the same thing I haven't heard one pilot get nervous, I would scream.If you remember the pilot whose plane in n y sucked in Canadian geese,all said in a clam matter I'm Gona land on the Hudson,the controller said what,another pilot said he's landing on the Hudson!.So professional!
The story of the second incident was shown in an earlier video, maybe a year ago or more. But the first incident was new to me. The crew on that flight (Incident 1) were amazing. Wow.
It's a shame. This used to be one of the best channels of this kind on RUclips. All new videos are now just re-uploads and re-masters of previous videos.
Yeah man I literally learned so much about aviation and incidents through this channel while it was growing but now it literally feels bad that all new videos are just re uploads
bruh theyve done literally every air disaster cant do any more unless they make fictional videos but then youd REEEE about that too, cant win with some people
So this aircraft went on several maintenance works for 22 years and nobody noticed the cracks in the structure, even knowing about the tail strike? This makes me wonder how these people work!
Complete and utter lack of care. People have been programmed to beLIEve that money is valuable when it is only a means of monetization, or control, for a period of time, which it represents. The greed factor is great among many and when you do the math it is actually even more telling of evil at its roots. If a 747 cost $100 million let's say (back in the nineties when the plane was originally purchased) but carried an average of 300 passengers per flight and accumulated 20,000 flights with an average ticket price of $500 per leg that would be $3 billion in revenue. Let's say that operating costs were half of that the airline still earned $1.5 billion over that one plane's life cycle prior to the catastrophic incident. That's just 1 plane. Makes you wonder how much money these people need to make them feel OK before they depart for hell. Can't take it with ya! Had to just finish the totality of the overall concept that doing the repair properly may have cost $500,000 but that would have eaten into the $1.5 billion profit wayyyyyy too much, right? A $50,000 repair makes wayyyyyy more sense when you need that extra $450,000 for your new bathroom on your 3rd yacht (to make you feel OK of course before you go to hell for an eternity).
You would think Boeing would send an inspector to make sure a fix as important as that was done right! Especially in a country like China, that is not known to have a good safety record!
I would have expected the _insurers_ to have insisted on independent review of the quality of the repair. I'll bet Orient Airways (or whatever they are called) were really glad this didn't happen a week later; and started reviewing whether it is a good idea to buy 22 year old planes with a history of structural damage.
The first segment showed how experience and presence of mind can turn a potential disaster into a safe landing. My heart goes out to the passengers who were hurled out of the plane when the cargo door was blown off its hinges. As for the second segment, I thought it unusual for TFC to not end it with a recap of the fatalities, so I searched the Internet for details concerning Boeing 747 flight 611 from Taipei to Hong Kong and found all 225 souls were on board when the plane crashed into the Taiwan Straits. While it was fortunate Captain Cronin survived to retire, the crew of flight 611 were not as lucky to survive, all because of shoddy repair work. At least maintenance changed how future repair jobs were handled.
It's amazing how the pilots remain calm & focused when reporting incidents to the ATC. I mean, it's like they're just reporting to the passengers that the weather is clear with just minor clouds. Man, I'd shout the hell through those communication channels 😅
The Flight Channel is a great channel & I look forward to it every week. Is the channel going to do new stories of plane crashes/incidents? The past few weeks have been repeat stories that you've linked past videos together. Please do some new ones.
My parents worked for United at the time. My dad was in customer service (checking you in at the front terminal and at the gate) and was on the graveyard shift, so he didn't have any contact with the passengers on that flight. He was however part of the team that took care of the passengers after the plane returned.
Incident #1- Aircrew were well-disciplined and did an excellent job bringing the damaged aircraft back to HNL with no further loss of life. Capt. Cronin had some big steel balls to handle this emergency and his leadership sure showed. Damn good flying there. Incident #2- What can happen when a half-assed repair is done on an aircraft.
What's gone wrong with TheFlightChannel? Both these videos have been uploaded before, not to mention that the title this time is bordering on clickbait. 😟
Question for anyone that might know... Are the maintenance logs for commercial airplanes available to the public? I might want to pull one up before I board another airliner.
All official records in the form of Major Repairs or Alterations, registrations, etc, that are recorded with the FAA are public records. Actual maintenance logs maintained by the operators are their property, so seeing those would require a court order if they refused. They would be full of gobbledy-gook you would never understand. Aviation terminology is almost a dialect of its own. Just one example would be the term "stall." Everybody thinks that means the engine quit. NO. It basically means the wing got too slow to keep flying and experienced aerodynamic stall.

Misleading title. Quite an exaggeration. Flight 811 did not 'break up just after takeoff' or 'fell apart in mid-air'. It lost a cargo door, 9 people were sucked out and died; 346 survived.
That’s precisely what he means here; “penultimate” was the exact word used in the wiki description of Capt. Cronin and Flight 811. So close to retirement, and then this happens. Fortunately, he landed the plane and saved most of the passengers, survived and lived himself to 81, interesting coincidence there. (RIP to those who perished, though.)
People are always complaining. Same videos/uploads. Let's be thankful. Most if not all plane crashes have been reenacted!! Every month we go without an accident proves flying is safer than ever ✈️ 🛩 🛬
I flew quite a few times on Pan Am's 747-121s in the late 70s-1988 in the Clipper Class cabin. I'd be able to look out the window while we were at the gate loading baggage/freight. I'd see the top of the open starboard cargo door before the ground crew would close it. Quite unnerving to know that portion of the cabin was sucked out on UA 811.
I swear the doubler plate video was just uploaded like less than 2-3 months ago. I don't understand why we're getting the re-uploads. I know you can only have so much content but it's still a shame regardless.
I was just thinking I'd seen this previously but thought it was a couple of years ago. So maybe what you saw was a reupload? Either that or I saw it on another channel.
Wish they would sort out the drop outs in the sound quality. It’s not just on this one but on nearly all of them. It’s very irritating and spoils what could be very good videos.
Shame, shame, shame on manufacturer designing a door to open OUTWARD instead of INWARD....this was done to maximize cargo and PROFITS.....so unavoidable.....😢
wow what a curveball. i thought we had a somewhat happy ending to a terrible accident, but you go and throw a another all hands lost scenario on the second half the video. What a mind job. Go sit in the corner Flight Channel.
I think the giant, gaping hole in the plane would take up most of their attention. Maybe hearing the voice of the captain being so calm would calm them down a bit, but I don't know. I've never flown in a plane that had a big, gaping hole.
They would be, it takes time to go unconscious and by FL200 you would be conscious anyway. The Campbells mentioned they were relieved their Son went into the engine rather then endure the entire fall.
The title does not agree with the content of the first part of the video where a cargo door is blown off. The 747 does NOT fall apart in mid-air. Why are you doing this? You are dramatizing what is a good channel with your sensationalism.
Good stuff. I was watching your old videos when you had ALL CAPS captions. This is a big improvement and perhaps my constant haranguing helped. May I suggest you open up the character spacing a little bit on the subtitles / captions to make them even more readable. You can even bump the type size down a little bit as well if the spacing takes up too much room. Just look at the spacing on these comments. It's a little more open than your titles. the BOLD also makes them harder to read. body copy shouldn't really be in bold.
Heartbreaking! Regarding the second event, I do wonder....Kai Tak was a very tricky place to land with many amazing RUclips videos! I know tail strikes happen, but was Kai Tak more prone to them?
I have asked how he is able to match the traffic to the time era before, someone told me that he selects different aircraft to appear, is that a mod or something else?
When I die I want it to be instant, not a slow, wind-rushing, noise deafening, passengers screaming, inexorable descent into the Sea in broad daylight...
The china one is sad that all those people had to die because of the incompetence of people not doing there job they probably never checked any of their planes.
This accident was very sad for one couple from Australia i think this is plane,their son coming home their only son , follow the investigation they themselves conducted in the states. My god their amazing they concluded the letch didn't always lock.
If I figured out that there was a giant hole in the plane that started in a cargo hold, I'd assume it was a bomb too, not gonna lie. Who would expect "faulty door locks causing rapid decompression"?

Again nobody does as good as you do in making the best aviation videos. It’s like we’re there. You’ve been doing it a long time. Second to none
Rest in peace to the 225 lost on China Airlines Flight 611.
How sad! 😢
9:42... Wait, I'm confused. From '89 and 13 years later, we edn up in 1979? Did I miss sumn or is the 13 years coming later?...
The title does not agree with the content of the first part of the video where a cargo door is blown off. The 747 does NOT fall apart in mid-air. Why are you doing this? You are dramatizing what is a good channel with your sensationalism.
Why 2 stories in one video?
I'm just curious as to why you repeatedly keep posting videos you already posted.
I'm beginning to wonder if the channel has a new owner. We're just getting rehashed reuploads now.
Good stuff. I was watching your old videos when you had ALL CAPS captions. This is a big improvement and perhaps my constant haranguing helped. May I suggest you open up the character spacing a little bit on the subtitles / captions to make them even more readable. You can even bump the type size down a little bit as well if the spacing takes up too much room. Just look at the spacing on these comments. It's a little more open than your titles. the BOLD also makes them harder to read. body copy shouldn't really be in bold.
You are living proof of the old adage, some people will complain about anything.
@@jimdavis6833 or maybe i just worked in the business of presenting ideas.
How many other people with English as their primary language needed to look up what “penultimate” meant?
28 seconds gang
Gang gang
Nah bro im here 17 mins later lol
Wasn't expecting that...
Heartbreaking! Regarding the second event, I do wonder....Kai Tak was a very tricky place to land with many amazing RUclips videos! I know tail strikes happen, but was Kai Tak more prone to them?
I have asked how he is able to match the traffic to the time era before, someone told me that he selects different aircraft to appear, is that a mod or something else?
Thanks Flight Channel. Great content and doesn’t cost a cent. You’ll get no bitching from me. 👍🏽
Another repeat listed as a new upload. Disappointing...
Your recreation videos continue to improve. Well done!
When I die I want it to be instant, not a slow, wind-rushing, noise deafening, passengers screaming, inexorable descent into the Sea in broad daylight...
Boeing has door problems.
The china one is sad that all those people had to die because of the incompetence of people not doing there job they probably never checked any of their planes.
Nightmare scenario. Crew did well.
JAL516 When
747 was à wonderful machine !.......
Wow! Catastrophic results when shoddy, careless work is involved.
Same video again bro, please stop!
This accident was very sad for one couple from Australia i think this is plane,their son coming home their only son , follow the investigation they themselves conducted in the states. My god their amazing they concluded the letch didn't always lock.
I cant imagine the fear but seems SUPER presumptive that a bomb was involved
If I figured out that there was a giant hole in the plane that started in a cargo hold, I'd assume it was a bomb too, not gonna lie. Who would expect "faulty door locks causing rapid decompression"?
14:56 well that's not good.
Thank GOD was not a 737....they would still be looking for piece today
Did they get meal service? In the second plane did they get their money back?
Niec vids and very sad
WTF are vids?
TheFlightChannel pls reply to my comment do you use a flight simulator or an animation for theses plane crashes
