American Airlines Flight 965 - DISASTER BREAKDOWN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- In December 1995. An American Airlines Boeing 757 flies off course on approach to Cali Airport, Colombia. The terrain is mountainous and the crew accidentally fly their plane into a valley inevitably crashing into a mountain.
She came and spoke at my college in 2009. Her story of survival is incredible and by the end of hearing her story you are left wondering what path your life is on. ❤️
Did you know your college paid her 10k to speak there?
@@SkyBoom183 WOW, people make a living from things? crazy
@@mylife1221 imagine My Surprise
I deeply respect and admire people who go through those unimaginable ordeals and survive. I do believe that the will to survive and faith play a huge role in the outcome. But I can't help thinking of the element of chance that motivational speakers often don't contemplate. Do people actually believe they survived only because they had God and decided they were gonna live? What about those people who lasted for hours and days only to die before rescue came? Were they devoid of fath and will power? Or were their injuries just too severe? We'll never know. So to me motivational speakers, with very rare exceptions, exploit luck as determinism just to cash.
No matter how good you are, no matter how experienced you are, you are never immune to making a stupid mistake.
I’m disproportionately happy that Milagro the dog survived
It's not like he bought a ticket and trotted aboard. I think it's ok to be this happy for him. .. I am.
There no point to happy
The dog survived but almost everyone losing the life(Except for 4 passengers)
In memory of all passengers who lost the lives in American Airlines Flight 965
@Dennis Wilson oh, my dear... I too am old enough to remember those days, as well! But that it was a much nicer way for the animal to travel in those days, I don't disagree. But they still didn't trot aboard of their own accord. 😁
@Dennis Wilson dam I’ve never flown in a plane and I wasn’t born for another 3 years dam and the dog fact is interesting
Junior at my high school was on this flight. She was such a nice girl. Whole life ahead of her 😢 We planted a tree in her memory, it has grown huge and provides lots of shade for students. It’s astounding this kind of accident could happen.
I hope Milagro (and the other survivors) were able to recover emotionally and have a long, happy life despite this
I doubt it. Something's you never recover from like plane crashes.
The ptsd from this must be horrible ...
Milagro underwent years of psycho-therapy, and to this day still whimpers when he hears any word that sounds like "plane" ..so "Spain, rain or pain " for instance sends him cowering under the bed.
Only cares about a dog.
Dog nutters are weird, valuing dog lives over human lives.
It would be amazing if Milagro was adopted by one of the survivors, they could help each other out
The dog was adopted by an American Airlines employee.
This is an absoulte gem of a youtube channel znd im glad it popped into my recommended
Keep making videos man
Another american airlines boeing 757 crash is american airlines flight 77 ?

Michelle spoke on a podcast recently, Other People’s Lives & clears up the confusion on the pilot. The engine Boeing used was manufactured by Rolls Royce. it had countless problems with leaking oil, yet no one wanted to take action. the fumes from the oil was spread to the cockpit, making the pilots “intoxicated” therefore that’s where there decision making issues came from. the blame is not fully on the pilot.
Man to be honest, I don't think I would want to survive a scenario like this if my family died, that's such a horrific and mentally damaging experience..
Moral of this story for me: always sit above the wings.
I'm pretty sure this crash was the reason that I DO choose seats above the wings whenever possible.
The safest place to sit is at the back of the aircraft, have you ever heard of an airplane reversing into a mountain?
@@clarenceboddicker6679 depends on the way plane crashes
@@clarenceboddicker6679 Have you heard of stalls.
Always sit above the wings… except if your engine(s) explode.
lovely video, some of the best produced disaster breakdowns on the site
Sad holidays for the families. They could had diverted disaster if only they were flying in daylight. All things went wrong.
I do wish to understand why so many fly at night than leave it for day
A lot of these videos happen in the daytime too. This comes down to pilot error
Thank you for sharing that about the dog. That was really sweet. Love your channel. Your use of classical music in some of your videos shows class.
Started with the collision over the Amazon, I’ve now watched every video up to here and subscribed. Criminal how few subs this channel has!
I’m so thrilled that Milagro survived
Well I'm thrilled that the human passengers survived
@Oliver Anderson I agree. There are some real psychopaths out there who place more value on the life of a dog than humans. They say Hitler was a huge dog lover. I think these kinds of people have a lot in common.
Oliver Anderson and Daniel Johnson - if I’d commented “I don’t care how many people died, I’m just so thrilled that Milagro survived”, then you’d both have very fair and valid points.
More chance of an aviation enthusiast picking a fight and creating online disharmony with a fellow aviation enthusiast in a RUclips comment section as having psychopathic tendencies, I would think.
@Marie Innes no, I disagree. I think the fact that you were motivated enough to write about the dog and not the people, including a six year old girl, really tells a lot about you. I’m not saying you’re a bad person, I just don’t trust you.
I have no idea what you’re talking about with your whole aviation enthusiast rant. What does any of that have to do with the topic? How is creating disharmony a sign of a psychopath? And how are we creating disharmony, by pointing out your flawed way of thinking?
Got a little emotional knowing Milagro survived. Good doggo
So, basically we should all be in kennels on a flight...
No, we should all eat dog so we will have protection within ourselves.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, depends on the person. some people would absolutely refuse to do that
@@goodhumourwagon What?
@@macaylacayton2915 they might refuse at first, but they would be beaten with whips and/or pepper sprayed until they comply.
RIP
To the 159 passengers and crew of American Airlines Flight 965
From other sources I recall that the survivors (or at least some of) were seated in the very back of the aircraft. This includes the woman speaking at the beginning of the video.
Statistically the back of the aircraft is safest, though there are also sources that say it’s not very significant.
Why it is said that it is, is because when planes crash nose first and especially into a mountain or hill because the forces of the crash diminish quite dramatically even in that split second. Where the first rows take the full hit, people in the back may be lucky enough that they be hitting the ground relatively softly. The length of the plane would make a difference as well. In a small plane this isn’t likely to help. Like a King Air will probably have no survivors, whereas a 757 or a 777/A380 will be large enough for the front and middle of the fuselage to absorb much force which is quite incredible really. I mean the whole crash is over in 2-3 seconds. In those seconds full force can actually change into survivable force .
@@fluffy-fluffy5996 and the seats next to the wings are usually pretty safe as well
No they werè in the Middul
All of the survivors were seated within two rows of one another above the wing. The girders carring the wings make this the strongest part of the plane.
I wonder whether this just depends more on the type of crash. In a wings-level hit like in this instance, the fuselage comes apart into multiple sections, and I can see the support structures around the middle being responsible for increased survivability in that section. In a nose-down crash though, depending on the exact angle, the plane will be crushed from the nose down and/or rotated about the nose. In a fast enough crash (and say -60° pitch) it gets crushed like a can nose to tail, while in a slow enough crash (and say -20° attitude, e.g. a failed stall recovery) the plane's tail is forced down just as the nose hits bringing it to a 0° pitch (this looks like a bounced nosewheel landing, minus the bouncing part). In the first scenario it seems best to be farthest from the nose, where you get the smoothest deceleration and are furthest from the debris of the front of the plane flying towards the back (this is referred to as being far along the "load path" from the impact point to a given part of the plane). In the second, it's still bad to be in the nose, better to be in the tail, but the middle again has an advantage due to being reinforced and hitting the ground at a slower speed during the rotation to 0° pitch (meaning there's probably a "sweet spot" in the aft half of the craft).
Wow, I already burned through all your videos. Will we be seeing more?
There are lots more now, I've seen them all, going over old ones now
@@noka1979 Thanks for the tip!
We hope not 😆
Very good effort on all of your videos!
The R waypoint was an NDB that existed off the departure end of runway 13L in Bogota, used for departure procedures from that runway.
It was just named "R"
Well done you read what Google said
If you read the CVR transcript, it's pretty clear the pilots were completely confused and had lost all situational awareness. They should have abandoned the approach when they got to that point.
milagro is truly a miracle
So the plane makes a turn 90 degrees to the left and no one noticed ?
The plane turns left towards tall mountains and no one noticed ? The pilot knew the airport was straight in front of him and the plane turns sharp left ?
Yes, it was unfortunately that way.....no one noticed the turn because they werent paying attention to that.They wer trying to understand this new Approach to another runway and they were still trying to find the VOR Tulua because the ATC was asking them to report is. They were also flying in the nigth and this airplane was not equiped with Terrainradar. The airplane turned to the left because that is exactly what the pilots ordered the computer to do. After the turn they became confused and disoriented. They had no clue where the plane was and unfortunately they didnt aborted the approach climbing to the minimal safety altitude.....they kept trying to find Tulua VOR.
@@gabrielahumada9546 yikes that is sad.
One pilot needs to always be flying the airplane
Both guys were "heads down" programming and double-checking the FMC due to the confusion. The AP was driving the plane. It was pitch black up, and down due to the mountainous terrain. FAR easier for this to occur than you would imagine. Plus, this was at the end of a long flight in the middle of the night. Its likely the pilots had been up for 12 or more hours. We learn from every accident. This one was full of lessons.
@@lbowsk yes but it takes one second to monitor
Heading.
I was a tree climber for 30yrs
We use an adjustable knot to go up and down.
I checked that knot every 3-4 seconds. It’s my life
I don't even know how the pilot did not realized that the speed brakes has been on for the whole flight for descent, but you would have missed the mountains since it was too late to miss it....
It's not at all unusual to have the speed brakes extended for fairly long periods during descent.
757 was my least favorite plane to fly on. Besides feeling cramped, it was really loud inside and had a lot of vibration.
It's a giant Twin Otter.
The 757 is one of the best aircraft ever built.. And never EVER disrespect the RB211 engines like that..
@@cancelanime1507 Oh shut up.
There have been updates on the cause of the pilot errors. The pressurized air supply to the cabin comes from one of the engines and is unfiltered. Rolls Royce makes the engines and they are well known for having oil leak and consumption issues. The contaminated air was affecting pilot judgment. There are current lawsuits regarding this and regarding this flight.
This video is really well put together. Great job.
Moral of the story always brief your approaches ahead of time and always verify the waypoint you want to select
Absolutely. This flight was a chaotic mess.
The 757 is still godly till this day
what kennel brand was that?!?? im buying one lol. RIP to the lives lost.
weird way to say you're happy that the dog survived but also sad that the people died
@@macaylacayton2915 Not weird at all, it's not that deep...
@@LunaticTheCat I'm meant that its weird that he said "what kennel brand is that?" but not "I'm happy that the dog survived." just kind of a weird way to phrase it
Huge fan of ur channel, keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
This accident had a profound impact on me. I recall how the entire town was engulfed in a somber atmosphere that December. Guerrilla blowing out the radar was a shitty move, those were dark years in Colombia.
Really love this channel! Far better than The Flight Channel, where I have to sit there reading everything. This is not ReadTube!
Thx for the effort
I really enjoy your videos 🙏 such a sad accident - just like they say - a string of events happen to cause it not just one specific thing .... the waypoint not being in the database, the pilot automatically choosing the first one and not looking, forgetting about the speedbrakes, the terrorists having destroyed the radar and etc etc maybe if just one of those things had not happened.....
Thank you for pointing out that Milagro was also a survivor, bless him.
My sister was on this flight. Rip
Yes, this video needs to be updated with recent news that the crew were incapacitated by engine oil fumes leaking into the cabin. Please remove this video after checking for yourself. Thank you!
holy shit dude i just binge watched all your videos. they're amazing pls make more you got yourself a new sub :))
It seems like 90% of crashes is due to human error… so strange as we’re always thinking of ourselves as omnipotent and always right
More than 90%. Even if there are in flight Mechanical issues, they usually aren't serious but can become serious if the flight crew doesn't know how to handle the situation.
1:20 every airline wanted one for their fleet.
Except
QANTAS
Hawaiian Air
Southwest
JAL
AIR INDIA
VARIG
ALASKA AIR
RYAN AIR
AIR NEW ZEALAND
CATHAY PACIFIC
Lol
you got to be kidding me, southwest didn't want this specific type of airplane? why didn't they want one?
@@macaylacayton2915 they only fly 737.
They go to small cities and they use frequent flights more than big planes.
Small cities like
Amarillo tx
Tulsa Oklahoma
Kahului
Albuquerque
@@PInk77W1 that is weird, I literally just went to Orlando, Florida on Southwest. they use 737 to go from Raleigh-Durham Airport to go to Orlando International Airport? to me, those aren't small cities
@@macaylacayton2915 they are small compared to
Chicago • NY • Los Angeles.
Southwest uses one kind of plane only for ALL cities. Los Angeles has over 200 southwest flights a day. Las Vegas has over 200 southwest flights a day. All 737. In fact if u are a pilot and u get hired by American or United or Delta. They will train u on how to be certified on a specific kind of plane. Southwest will NOT.
Either u have a 737 certificate or they won’t interview you.
So, is there an overide fitted to large aircraft now that cancels the speed brakes automatically when pilots hit full thrust/go around thrust?
This is an excellent channel. Well done!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my content.
@@DisasterBreakdown are you re doing this one?
People who care about the dog over the humans that perished have serious value issues.
Man, I really dont like planes, I just love the ground.
Here is yet another case of a series of mistakes or chain of events, leading up to a crash. If the captain omits any one of his mistakes, chances are the plane lands safely.
@To Release is To Resolve No caca? No comprende
@To Release is To Resolve "poop of Bull"
Thank god the doggo survived oh my god!
Sounds like everything went wrong that day.
Your videos are awesome, even better than Nat Geo or Discovery Air Crash Investigations etc. Keep making more pls
There are *way* too many people that focused on Milagro and *only* Milagro! 😒
I’ve seen more people complaining about others being thankful he survived than I’ve seen comments thankful he survived.
Amazing how they would still allow flights into that airport if the radar was not working.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
3:10 Yeeeah, I don't think the bouncing was on the flight plan...
As a pilot how can you make this mistake? At first something to do to just watch simple a map?
"Unsurvivable" - four people and a dog disagree there
That's for all intensive purposes unsurvivable.
true, let me just do this-TROLLOLOLOLOLOLOL
It was unsurvivable for 159 people
The moral of the story- Fly Kennel Class.
Ayyy I got my Instrument Rating in the aircraft shown at 4:18!!! Thats wild!!!!
One of the biggest examples of pilots flying a plane by a book instead of flying it by themselves, using sight and experience. Pilot error with devastating consequences.
There are examples of pilots making the opposite mistake.
I’d love to know the background music used in this video.
Great memories. This lady said thank you 🙏 Jesus for another 2nd chance of life.
I have a good friend who’s Brother in-law was KILLED in This ✈️✈️✈️✈️Plane CRASH !!!!

Thank you very much for your work, I like your videos.
I clicked this on by accident and as soon as I seen that girl Mercedes... I'm like, she looks so familiar, then i seen it was a plane crash mini doc. I must of seen her on aircrash investigation or air disasters, whatever it's called.
next time i fly, im flying on a doggy cage.
Dude ur videos are bombs, make more pls
I hope Milagro has lived a happy life. May everybody who died on that crash Rest In Peace.

We should all fly in kennels
It amazes me when people value animals lives over humans. Even innocent humans like kids and babies.
Agreed. Disgusting.

If i had survived something like this i would not have been able to hear anything over the sound of me shitting myself.
Can you use the music at 2:03 again?
Do Turkish Air Flight 981
Anyone know the background music at 2:03 ?
Whats the background music?
Interesting and tragic.
Last image is Kotor, Montenegro if anyone wonders.
Damn that plane bounce about as loops to airport on map lol
Interesting
You missed the fact The captain swears like a drunken sailor... I think that was a factor here because you've got a weak first officer who's now being intimidated by cussing. I say weak because You should have upgraded long ago on the 757. Maybe he lost his nerve which can happen... It's best to make camp and as soon as possible. Otherwise great job as normal.
Is there a possibility you could re-do the older videos?
This is the first one you had a proper mic. The old ones are really unlistenable.
I like to put on the video and just listen to it on my in-ears when doing something else and the static is impossible to handle.
Just a fan with good intentions. 🍓

Same family
As it was a standard route how did they not know that rozo was not in the computer?
because the damaged radar systems and the mistake of clearing all waypoints. So they probably never needed rozo in the first place.
Pilot error?
Noooo, don't tell me...😛
He did everything to make that crash happen...
Pilot error was the main reason lead to this incident
This plane nor did any other have a GPS navigation system. Instead, their navigation relies on radio beacon towers and the flight crew has to manually enter the tower way points into their navigation computers to know which direction to fly. A handheld Garmin GPS that people use in their cars is far superior to what the airline industry uses.
There is no 757-300 (stretch version) although you chose to use it .,American Did not have 757s of that length
Miami is not "Latin America".
It's in Florida.
In the United States.
Although....
The greatest fun you can have during vacation in Floridurp is screaming "Immigration is RIGHT BEHIND ME!!" whilst slowly driving past either a berry field or Home Depot.
Watch'em scatter!
Where did he say Miami should be in Latin America, he said AA was flying from Miami to many countries in Latin America but he didn’t say Miami is located there which should be clear
Are you kidding? It's the northern tip!
As long as the dog survived it's okay.
Is there a way to lower the pitch of the high pitch music in the sad videos? I want to watch it, but I can't... not with the high pitched sounds. And my volume is NOT all the way up. If it was, I wouldn't even be watching this channel because of that high pitched sound. I'm sorry... I can't watch any other videos of yours.
Surely the ATC would have seen on radar that the plane had flown off course??
The Radar was inoperative due to terrorists sabotage, that's why they have to rely on pilots relaying their position. Watch again its mentioned at 3:20
Guess you missed that part.
why are people in the comments so angry about people being happy for the dog?
y'all want drama that bad? gonzalo jr, the young survivor that died in the hospital, was stuck in a tree for the long hours before rescue arrived, calling for his father, who couldn't go to him because the man couldn't walk from the injuries he sustained himself.
this comment section is a mess.
so easy to say pilot error when they are no longer here to defend themselves. There were other issues here anyway.
Yes but mainly the accident ocurred behause the Crew made several errors wich contributed to this fatal accident. They should watch the Approachmanouver much more carefully and somebody could have monitored the whole time what the plane (flown by Autopilot actually but with actions from the Crew). At the escape manouver when the GPWS started to sound they did what they could but unfortunately is was too late.......
VOR is a localizer.
No. A localizer is a localizer. A VOR is a Very High-Frequency Omni-Directional Range.
I believe Michelle had two broken legs, but I’m not sure.
When interviewed in a documentary about this, I think she said one of her legs was so badly hurt that she couldn't even try standing up.
Your videos rock. You'd have about 100 times more subscribers if you released videos more often
"death was not going to be an option for me".. Meanwhile the ONLY reason she survived was due to the fact that someone rescued her. Never once in that 18 hours did she go off and do anything to save herself. Had those people never found her she would have never made it out...Tell me again how the only reason you're alive is because of your own determination to live? Seems kinda arrogant and ungrateful if you ask me.
i'm pretty sure her injuries included a broken knee at the very least, maybe a broken pelvis. i don't think she would be able to try and make a trek through the mountain they fell into.
And how, pray tell, are you going to brave the wilderness, even helped along by others, with injuries so severe you can’t even stand?
@@localmenace3043 That has nothing what so ever with anything. She tells it like she single-handedly saved herself. She sat there and did nothing. Those people saved her and she refuses to give them proper credit.
