All 4 Engines Failed Over a Volcano, See What Happened Next
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 май 2019
- It happened on June 24, 1982. On a calm summer night, passengers boarded the plane that would take them from Kuala Lumpur to Perth. The atmosphere was relaxed; the weather was fine, there were no approaching thunderstorms, and the plane didn't have any technical issues.
There were 247 passengers and 100 tons of fuel on board the plane. But by the time the plane was in the air south-east of Jakarta, Indonesia, the first officer was sending out a Mayday distress call. All four of their engines had failed...

SUMMARY:
- It happened on June 24, 1982. British Airways Flight 9, also called Speedbird 9, performed its scheduled flight from London Heathrow to Auckland, with 5 stops on the way: in Bombay, Madras, Kuala Lumpur, Perth, and Melbourne.
- There were 247 passengers and 100 tons (90 tonnes) of fuel on board the plane. That night, although moonless, was quite clear, and the flying conditions couldn't be better. All in all, the crew expected an uneventful 5-hour flight.
- The windshields were ablaze with the most intense phenomenon of St. Elmo's fire the captain had ever seen in his life. As soon as the captain fastened his seat belt, he looked at the weather radar - and it wasn't showing any thunder clouds at all!
- The flight went on, but the smoke started to accumulate in the airplane's passenger cabin. And while at first, it resembled cigarette smoke, with every passing minute, it was getting thicker and acquired the ominous stench of sulfur.
- It was 8:42 when Barry Townley-Freeman shouted that engine number four had flamed out. Without losing time, the crew shut down the engine by arming the fire extinguishers and cutting off the fuel supply.
- The captain estimated that they could glide 15 miles (24 km) for every mile (1.6 km) they dropped. It meant that the plane was able to glide for only 23 minutes and cover the distance of 91 nautical miles (168 km).
- Mothers were hugging their kids, husbands were squeezing their wives' hands, flight attendants were teaming solo passengers together so they could support each other in the seemingly last minutes of their lives.
- When the pilots tried to restart the engines again at 8:56 PM, engine number four roared back to life! With its help, the captain managed to reduce the speed of their descent. Even better, several minutes later the three other engines started as well!
- As the plane was approaching Jakarta, it turned out that the cockpit crew couldn't see anything through the windshield, even though the visibility outside was perfect.
- They could see the runway lights through a tiny strip of window, but the aircraft's landing lights didn't work. Even so, the captain managed to perform a perfectly smooth landing.
- During the investigation, it turned out that the near-tragedy happened because the plane flew into a cloud of volcanic ash left after the eruption of Mount Galuggung in 1982.

Hey there, BrightSiders, what's your favorite seat on a plane? Do you prefer window seat, aisle seat or maybe the one in the middle?
I prefer window seat
Captain's seat !!
i prefer pilot seat tho
Didn't travel on a plane yet. Waiting 😊
WINDOW
Pilot: "We have a small problem
Yeah, sure...
Miyu The Mayonnaise that is exactly what I was thinking 🤔 😂
Miyu The Mayonnaise yep, the engines won’t work, we can definitely land without them so call down people
The pilot say that because he dont want to panic all the passengers
Ice Cream Man yep i know
Miyu The Mayonnaise A
*Engine:* I'm gonna end these people's lives
*Pilots:* Not today
😂😂😂
You have quite of an imagination there sir
a miracle! 😯😯😅

Vulcano ash: Today I'm ending all your lives.

Engines: I think I can, I think I can. Oh heck, I can't.
Engineer: Aye Captain, but the wee barrens don't have much life in them, but will see what I can do for ya.
What do we say to the god of death?
Not Today
What impressed me the most is either how the pilots landed practically blind or how the passengers were so calm
Flying at night, nothing showing on the radar, engines couldn't register the liquid silica on its compressor blades. St Elmo's fire is normal on every flight. The windscreens were being eroded by the volcanic ash.
They managed to restart a few engine at lower altitude, because the air was thicker and more oxygen. The 747 can fly safely with just 1 engine.
Not one engine should have restarted. They tore the engines apart and found molten glass throughout the compressor
Same
I just think why did the engines fail again if thry were not abymore in the ash cloud.
Captin: we have a small proble-
Reality: ALL 4 ENGINES ARE NOW BROKE
They need to get a job
Do they know to talk
Oh the 4 engines need jobs their broke/poor
Are now not working
Volcano-am I a joke to you
Pilot-yes
Meh
@@longinusc why
@ZepTical Kaleb yes yes you can
Volcano: ;[
Me: hahaha
Haha ya
Plane: time to go for a swim
Pilot: did you forget your sunscreen
" Ladies and gentlemen, that's your captain speaking.
We have a small problem."
*Volcano ash: "am i joke to you?"*
Pilot: all our four engines have stopped.
Passenger: Okay, no problem.
British army general:BIG SCARY ARMY
Soilder: I DONT CARE!!!!!
Passengers: Understandable, have a nice day
xD
Totally British reaction.
"what's that? We're about to die. Welp Time to write a letter"
LOLLLLLL
CAPTAIN:We have a small problem all 4 engines had failed
Me: GOOD BY MY WORLD
A SMALL PROBLEM 4 ENGINE DEAD DO YOU CRAZY
:v
Goodbye
Captain: Ladies & Gentlemen, we have a small problem, all our 4 engines have failed.
Passengers: Yeah, it's a small problem no need to panic.😂😂😂
Captain : We are going to land on pacific ocean !!
Passengers: dont worry, it will be a smooth landing !!.

**Does a hard landing**
Passenger: oh...

Let's celebrate and plan for another take of !!
Volcano : Welcome Back !!
@@sandeshthane8012 Pilot: oh no!!!!
@@sandeshthane8012 yeah hahaha
*Pilot* : A normal routine flight
*Volcano* : **chuckles** Indeed..
I just realized that almost wierd things that happen always take place 50s 60s 70s and 80s
Because they didint have a lot of tech the smart phone you're holding is more power full than 10 of the PCs back then
Your profile picture says it all 😂😂😂
back in those days, air safety was garbage :/ all safety innovations we have today are because some other airplane crashed without it.
@UndergroundGrower UK yeah but most of them happened in 50s 60s 70s and 80s
Yeh
Volcano: DOOM TO YOU
Pilots: Ash ash go away
Come back in 19 days
wow 19 likes what a coincidence
Cool I like it
Lol
219 what a coincidence :)
Pilot: volcano I say no to you!
Pilots:”well this is gonna be a easy uneventful 5 hour flight”
Engine:”I’m gonna ruin this whole man’s career”
DEKU
Man/Woman.
Volcano ruined it.
Pilots: "not today"
pilot: im bored on this flight and i want something to happen
*smoke comes into the airplane*
pilot: NOT THAT KIND OF THING! *calls captain*
What impressed me most: The passengers supporting one another and staying upbeat. The cabin crew remaining professional and in control. The flight crew never giving up, no matter how much trouble they were in.
*all 4 engines stop working*
Captain: *we have a small problem*
Me: so all four engines stopping is a small problem. I wonder what a big problem will be???
the big problem is if the flames went on the wings and then onto the whole plane??
@@MichaelGAMING99 yea but it would have been hard for the flames to get there
Engine:
Volcano: I'm bout to end this man's whole career
Pilot:NO U
@@nalendraalif1116 Correction: FAA: No, you
“We have a small problem. All FOUR of our engines have failed.”
Yeah right *understatement of the year* no need to panic
Captain: Passengers, we have a small problem, all four of our engines are on fire and the windshield is on fire, and you will see some smoke coming out from below you in about a minute, and don’t forget about the huge cloud we’re in so we can’t see anything!”
YES I was like OMG WE ALL GANNA DIE
Passengers: oh no thats not small cap.
😂 😂 plz remain calm
Ya how is that small?
This just shows how grateful we should be to pilots and other flight crew.
TBH flight attendants need more recognition. They are the ones who help during safety announcements, evacuations, service, etc. Even pilots need more recognition. I really don't know how flight attendants and pilots deal with these types of situations.....
Nice job performing this difficult maneuver!!
Engines:I am about to end this whole flights career.
Pilots: *Hold my skills*
Saber Askar Ali true
More like *"hold my yoke"*
volcano*
Being allowed to smoke on board the plane only complicates the situation, and increases the confusion. BTW, this video introduced me to St Elmo's fire.
Elmo likey
Same
Me 2
It was no problem back then. There were designated seats for smokers and never much cigarette smoke in the air.
Cabin air gets refreshed in flight, not recycled.
I think the people who disliked this vid wanted the passengers to die 😂
No they are jealous that the pilots are way luckier cuz they landed without sight
Years later a volcano went off in Iceland and All Europe airspace shutdown due to volcanic ash. And this flight was the lesson that the air controllers and airlines adhered to. My friend flew out on last flight out of Italy before shutdown, and was a top news story too , for an air travel warning.
Volcano: Ima end these people’s hole career
Pilots: *R u SuRe AbOuT thAt*
Electric Whippy lol
So cool 😂👍👍👍👍👍😸😹✈️🕕⏱️🗓️
"Captain"Ladies and gentlemen we have a small problem all our engines has stopped."
"Passengers" THATS NOT SMALL"
Ikr
video says they were calm
The thing that impressed me most was HOW DID THE PILOTS MANAGE TO LAND THE PLANE!?
It's their bravery saved the on board lives. Glad these pilots were highly awarded
@@Maniacguy2777 Yeah!
That's a cool story. I'm impressed with how awesome the flight crew and the passengers handled themselves. That was really cool that the understatement calmed them down. They did good.
At 5:00 The mountain looks like f's cave
From alphabet lore
The thing that impressed me was,that he could hold his toilet.
Maybe he peed his pants
Same 😂
Lol
*BRIGHT SIDE* :Perfectly smooth landing
*Shows in the video plane lands front gears first before main gears*
They woulda thought they buttered that landing

Me: Brightside posts a lot of plane videos... Do you think it's some sort of fetish?
Brightside: yes
Yeah . I personally thought that he loved aviation .
What impressed me the most is how the passengers chose to react and stayed calm
same here.

Engine : I am gonna end this man's whole career

Passenger's : That ain't small...
Wow thank you for the video. Comes handy in my Geography homework
9:37 the fact that this man got a medal and not also a raise of 50k
Maybe the medal's worth more than that.
Captain: ladies and gentlemen, we have a small problem.
Passengers: OMG, WHAT IS IT!!??!!!
Pilot: all our 4 engines have stopped.
Passengers: Oh thank god, i thought we were out of peanuts
Actually if they were out of peanuts I wouldn't care cuz I hate peanuts......XD
Thank goodness they also didnt say they were out of cookies cuz i would jump off
@@jelly4081 me to
😂😂😂
ROFL
its amazing that everybody stayed so calm and how the captains managed to land the plane but did they use landing gear or did they use the actual underbelly of the plane?
I love your videos man ima subscribe u
I live less than 10 kilometers away from the volcano, and the way he pronounces the name of the volcano made me lol'ed

Or
The word squeezing rather then holding tightly

Great Salute to the Pilot for his efforts and the decision all that take in presence of Mind.

This is a scary video it's the mysterious and very scary this is the most scariest video I've watched from you. Are there any more videos that are more scary from you and your channel is right side right?
Engine: I'm going to end this man's whole career.
Pilot: "Uses Uno reverse card"
The pilot was super experiance. I tried doing that in x plane 11 but it was too hard
Some people have no idea how hard it is to fly a 747.
Bright side you make my day with social and science even general knowledge
Great pilot and crew
Gooooody videooo.i am in the brughtside of life thank you BRIGHT SIDE
I was surprised that how the passengers were so calm when they knew that the engines we're on 🔥
I love bright side becouse he is teaching me every thing and stories and I subscribe
I'm impressed at those people who are calm and just being happy like nothing is going to happen :00
Engine: I am about to end this guys whole career.
Captain/crew: not so fast I am in control buddy.
(2 hours later) captain and crew buter the landing and act like nothing happens
Engine:I gonna end this journey

*Ladies and gentlemen, we have a small problem, our engines have failed, trust me that you'll survive.*

You had a captain named moody and a first officer named greaves (graves), what did you think was gonna happen 😂😂😂

I was about to board this plane, but our flight got delayed because they had to “fill out paperwork”. I knew that wasn’t true because they were checking the plane everywhere and climbing on top and looking. For someone like me with bad anxiety I started hoping they would have us go on another plane. They didn’t. Hopefully you can tell how scared or worried I was. Everything turned out to be fine but that didn’t stop me from thinking what would happen if I died today.
Nice one!

"We have a SMALL problem. All four engines have stopped."
You shouldn't tell the passengers that we have a big problem.. It will create panic...
