- A routine “mail run” that shortly after takeoff turns into the fight of their lives. For sixteen minutes three man crew of the DHL A300 struggle without hydraulics to put the plane back down on the runway of Saddam Hussein International Airport in Baghdad.
Why was missile fired at the plane?
Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 3 Episode 2 "Attack Over Baghdad": It was supposed to be a routine “mail drop” for the DHL cargo plane. A war is going on, but they are just there to carry the soldiers’ letters from home. The three-man flight crew took off from Baghdad’s Saddam Hussein Airport without a hitch. Shortly after take off, an anti-aircraft missile fired by terrorists on the ground hit the Airbus A300.
Mayday: Air Disaster is a dramatic non-fiction series that investigates high-profile air disasters to uncover how and why they happened. Mayday: Air Disaster follows survivors, family members of crash victims and transportation safety investigators as they piece together the evidence of the causes of major accidents. So climb into the cockpit for an experience you won’t soon forget.

Why was a missile fired at the plane?
Because the insurgents were showing off for the Paris-Match reporters (there were either one or two of them depending on whose account you believe) that accompanied them that day, and weren't too picky about what sort of aircraft they shot down?
Well, it is DHL. So maybe he parked his plane in a cyclist lane while making a delivery. At least, that's what their drivers do around here.
And maybe the guy who shot it was an upset father who's kid was just coming home from school.
Bit extreme for us. We prefer to just embarrass the driver, or contact the company if it's really bad. But than maybe Iraqis have other ideas about extreme.
Iraqies sought to destabilize the regime the Americans were the political target of their terroristic furor as they were in control. Military and or civilian, any target of opportunity. DHL was the unlucky victim.
To intimidate the United States. It is clear that the reporters were there to witness the event,
@@johno3888 wouldn't call them unlucky if they had to apply to fly there
This is like when you have to drive home but only way to steer is to lowering and raising your windows. Best piloting I have heard of. Co-pilot did his job by warning too much landing speed. Stand-by pilot helped by silencing radio chatters. Everyone did their best. Superb.
And if you slow down or stop said car, it and everything inside of it (including driver) will disintegrate into millions of tiny pieces
And you have to parallel park at the end
actually no, is more like if you had to turn only with ou brake / gas pedal.
This crew is beyond words. They are definitely survivors of extraordinary means. Bravo to all of them.
😢
World wide heroes that deserve recognition for their tremendous skill. Everyone should know their names.
W0ww!
Surviving with a broken wing which was hit by a missile alone is an extraordinary feat, but especially on a plane like that in those conditions, it’s a miracle they made it down, they should be given medals for their skills.
“Why didn’t the unarmed journalists do more to stop the heavily armed terrorists?”postulates American man from the couch in the comfort of his own home. The fact that randoms were slating the journalists for not doing more is laughable.
I'm sure those "randoms" are democrats. They are dummies!
Exactly like what tf were they supposed to do 😂
any resistance would have gotten them killed
You can't believe anything journalists say. They are mostly working for intelligence agencies. They are operatives,we'll paid, and willing to say anything they are told to say for a little money. They would sell their own mothers' lives for a dollar.
I have the same message to all of those people, would you have actually done so in person or are you just ignorant?
There is absolutely nothing the journalists could have done to stop this. Being critical of them is ridiculous.
This is some of the best airmanship ever.
right! big talk from people sitting in their comfortable couch! it's easy to say but when it comes to it it's a different story...
@@MysticalJessica Exactly right. What COULD they have done? Trying to interfere would have only gotten them killed (or worse) and the terrorists would have still shot at the plane. Getting yourself killed for nothing is just crazy. And, if I had been there, I'd have done the same thing they did. Now, if the plane I'm on gets hijacked and they are planning on flying it into a building, that's a different story altogether. We gonna have to rumble.
@@jamesstreet228 I agree but this could have all been avoided if the journalists decided not to interview the terrorists. I think it could have been pretty apparent to the journalists that the terrorists wanted to show their power so the journalists could broadcast it to the western world.
@@stardust8058 So you're blaming the journalists for what the terrorists did? You're saying the terrorists only shot at the plane because the journalists were there to film it?
@@jamesstreet228Yeah that is totally true there is no reason for the terrorists wanted to show power and thats why the shot the aircraft. The aircraft was of no strategic importance to them. I do feel like if the aircraft took off at night instead of day this could have all been avoided but maybe IM wrong
The acting that these three pilots have done is far better than most professional actors I have seen.
Gives a whole new meaning to "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds".
Except when some Muslim terrorist shoot your plane out of the sky. What a bunch of cowards these criminals are. Hopefully the U.S. executed these terrorist
These pilots seriously had nerves of steel! And tg for their experience years too. That was some truly amazing flying.
I wish the narrator hadn't said "Where the Japanese pilots had *failed* in it", though. They didn't 'fail'. The terrain they were over was mountains, not a desert. I think the word 'unlucky' is better suited than 'failed'. Those pilots tried their hearts out to the very end. Pretty sure if Baghdad was full of mountains around the airport, we'd be hearing a different end to this.. (I'm glad they made it though).
Well said.
You're so right, the Bagdad crash was so heartbreaking after the superhuman efforts of the crew. Man, life is such a coin flip.
My stomach was in knots the entire time. Thank you so much for this. I’m terrified of flying and so I watch these to see that a lot of factors have to go into play for a plane to crash. It’s amazing what humans will do to survive! Outstanding Pilots!!!!
dont be afraid of flying, pilots are very skilled and modern aircraft are ridiculously safe. again its silly to be afraid to fly and not afraid to drive maybe check your priorities/fears
Xanax.
Yes, yes, yes
@@Qsefthuko4 Never tell someone their fear is silly it both arrogant and rude.
This was one of the most intense dramas I've ever seen. These dramas don't make me afraid of flying, they do the opposite.
Has anyone else watched every single one of the Mayday Air disaster episodes on RUclips? I was so happy that you uploaded one I haven't seen. Thank you!
Downside: Every time I fly I think about these. 🤔
I have watched all of them😅
Me too 😂😂
I've watched all of them and whenever I take a flight in 33000ft I reminisce this and I just say a silent prayer.
Twice
I Love them (:
I would totally watch this while I'm flying.
These pilots deserve a award
I'm sure the fact they survived was award enough.... but yeah... their skills definatly is deserving
It was said towards the end that the three DHL pilots did get an award for the highest achievements in civilian aviation for landing a plane in an unprecedented situation. 😊.
29:13 "No more talking, bye"was an epic line by Pilot🤣🤣
For someone who was living in Baghdad at that time, it is the first time to hear about this incident. Thank God they managed to land in the airport not in the city centre.
Watching this sometimes makes me want to be a air crash investigator
go ahead bro♥️🔥🔥
39:05 That these gentlemen got that plane down AT ALL and at that speed hitting the dirt. The fact the front gear held on. That plane really had their backs to just managing to hold together at all! This crew is incredible!
Shows the incredible engineering of an Airbus. And superb piloting.
PCA sounds super neat. I didn't know about it before this video.
There is a decades upon decades older feature called balance tabs/bays. The control column only moves a tiny tab on the surface, which creates a differential pressure in bays forward of the surface itself. This makes the controls quite easy to move without hydraulics, although obviously not as easy as hydraulic boosting. The Boeing 707 and its military variants have these tabs. I think some 737s have the same feature.
Crazy how we use technology (fly by wire, hydraulic boosting, etc) to create weaknesses in airplanes that we solved in the gestational stage of large passenger/cargo jets, and then we are struggling finding a further technological solution to a problem the technology created.
I love the fancy stuff, but when it creates problems that the old airplanes didn't have, we are doing it wrong.
Everybody was talking about the landing on Hudson river but what this pilots did was way more impressive
When it's 200+ people saved over 3 crewmen it's always a more glamorous story
Both were outstanding examples of airmanship.
Your kidding aren’t you? Any flight like QF 27, US airways 1549, federal express flight 705 any of these flights are just amazing thanks to the pilots saving the day especially QF 27 where the plane was actually trying to crash and if the pilot (the other sully) had not of been a veteran naval pilot using his training skills for that rather than what was taught for commercial pilots they would of all died just as the previous 2 crashes that happened before this flight where the same thing happened.
@@kylieknight2365 with the US flight there was more luck involved,thats always a little bit the case when you land on the wateri, i am not saying that the pilots didnt do a fantastic job but with this plane the hydrolics system was damaged, thats almost an impossible job to land the plane without crashing
this in my mind is by far some of the best piloting of an aircraft in crisis
Yeah these pilots did really good. Sully and the pilots of the Fed Ex plane that got hijacked did amazing as well
other best which come close is united 292
At about 29:05 I was thinking could listen to the Australian ATC woman say "Delta Delta Lima Lima" all day. Then I burst out laughing with the engineer on the plane said "ok keep both runways open for us, no more talking, goodby" LOL. Great job by the flight crew and the Apache pilots for sure. Also the ATC woman for noticing the plane on fire and turning back to start getting the airport on standby.
And then a few minutes later asks the tower to make sure emergency crews are ready... okay thank you no more talking.
The atc women definetly got pounded that night
Sometimes it's dangerous to deliver mail indeed.
@Biscuit
no problem , special just for you. the check is in the mail. the mail is in a airplane . do not worry you will get your money .
I missed my mail that day they could have continued the flight
On the dirt, it could be Bandits. In the skies, Homing Missiles.
This is amazing and stunning. Hats off the crew for their bravery.
BTW, these are the kind of heroes we all must know more about. Not some "superheroes" in made up stories. This airplane crew are the real life superheroes.
I am truly thankful that this series of films exist.
The flight engineer on the DHL , Mario , a graduate from AST Perth Scotland , a Greek from Sudan.
I was a newer student but had known him since then...
Just wow.... cant imagine what these men went through but their skill is evident.
I can rewatch this episode over and over...the story around UPS 6 flight is equally addicting
Its terrible... How a group of horrible people thought it was a good idea to shoot a missile to hard-working people. These pilots have a great mental mind. Great flying skills, and video!
Invade someone's house and I'm sure they'll shoot "things" at you!
And equally terrible how western imperialism brings to a halt a very prosperous nation to rob it of it's resources on false pretext allegations.
Islamic terrorists aren’t capable of empathy. They are mindless apes.
wow I am impressed, they landed a jumbo jet with no controls just engines and the jet was hit by missle and on fire, Damn fine flying.
They was not tryna die
Superb piloting and teamwork. Much respect to that crew.
Even though this was a re-re-run, it was still one of the best ever.
Those pilots had the worst luck and the best luck
What a brilliant, skilled and amazing crew!
This flight crew is the GOAT
Well done DAHL crew. CRM was critical. Excellent crew.
DHL wtf is DAHL?
amazed to see the skills of the crew...salute you...
Great video! Can’t believe I haven’t seen this in other channels such as Mentour.
The actual footage of the landing gave me intense chills.
This is the best mayday air disaster episode I have seen.. and I've seen possibly 100
This is the best episode of the series. Better than the Gimi Glider or Hudson Miracle. These guys should be given a medal. Incredible feat.
Gives a whole new meaning to "shoot the messenger"
We had NO BUSINESS there
You pilots did an awesome recovery flight. ✈️ 🦫
The pilot is be given commendation for extra ordinary initiatives
Of course the FA doesn't want to install the system on all aircraft. It cost too much. They or their families are NOT the ones on the plane's everyday!
Absolutely incredible achievement.
Where were those helicopters when they needed protection until 10000 feet ??
Absolutely amazing.
My 1994 F150 pickup truck had a redundant braking system which provided 4 wheel braking when everything was working. If there was a problem, there was full brakes to the front wheels and to one rear wheel, Not ideal, but better than nothing. IMO, there needs to be such redundancy built into critical systems.
36:11 idk if it was intentional or not but the beat with the alarm in the back is really catchy
Wow, people were criticizing them for not stopping 10+ armed men using only 2 men, 1 woman and their words? Crazy.
HEROS, ALL OF THEM. 🙏💪
Commercial pilots are all heroes.
Brilliant show!
That's some incredible airmanship. Those are the undisputed coolest heads in the business. Fantastic !!!
Seems like the first officer wanted to take over control because he could see how terrified the captain was.
20:30 I love that sound track from Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Makes my heart all warm and fuzzy knowing the work of all the people who made that game lives on in public domain sound library.
Crazy suggestion... In future a lock asymmetrical throttle option designed just for such an emergency
Amazing pilots...absolutely amazing
Remarkable flying 👏👏👏
thanks so much I really enjoy this video it's like I was watching a movie
Watching that last part about protecting airliners from SAMs in the year 2023, two whole decades after this incident and we have 2 major incidents of tragic plane shootdowns in recent memory. :/
13:25 i am baffled that there is not some sort of emergency shut off/containment from the hydraulic, when it suddenly loses pressure. I mean even my washing machine can do that when the water tube bursts! Why cant an airplane say cut off all hydraulic to a wing, to keep the rest of the system intact?
Good pilots are worth their weight in gold.
I feel like cargo planes should have parachutes for only a crew of 3. There have been several cargo planes go down because of fire or other incidents and they have more than likely bailed out
Awesome southern accent from the firefighter 😂😂
"ThAnK yOu VeRy MuCh AnD nO mOrE kHaLl (cAll)" - Got me laughing XD
OMG 😲 😱 that's so creepy 😳 😫 so terrifying situation..!
good work
Wow...what skill!! By the way...I don't like when the picture goes to a small version of the full screen. I want this flight crew for my flights!!
What a crew!
What do you mean no one has done this before? That dc-10 had the same issue and they landed and saved a lot of people.
Oh yeah, it takes guts to shoot down the mailman.
It really does. Because he’ll come back to life and hunt you down before killing you in your own casino.
@@Patrick_OWheresmypants, and you won't get your mail.
@@patriciamariemitchel man that joke flew over your head.
One of the best teams❤
They should make a movie out of this one.
I can think of a very simple way to create an additional system to use in an emergency like this one which would do the same job as the hydraulics.
The design of the plane would be different though. But, that alteration would actually make it easier to fly.
People gets used to "the statu quo" and that includes engineers, even at top notch establishments, obviously.
In Bs As - Argentina, you put your vehicle at (I think is 45) miles/h, in an Av. and you can cross the city not having to stop once for a red light.
A city of 20 million people.
Because the lights are programmed to keep you at that speed. As you advance, you'll see you hit only green lights, constantly.
I saw this in the early 80s in Argentina.
TODAY, 40 YEARS LATER, in 2023, it'll take you forever to cross the island of Manhattan, because the streets lights there are a complete chaos.
Supposedly the "first city of the world"
Excellent crew! I have one million reasons to love math and physics
Hydraulic loss can happen to anybody at any time (very grim). Audience wishes hapless victims all the best. Cheers!
This makes me sick. They are not human beings they are animals.
what
I mean when you invade other countries claiming they have WMDs and destabilize the nation... Ppl like them take over
Kufis to the hero pilot pros thank the Lord they are alive I'm happy for them and their families. This clip reminds me of a FedEx plane where the pilots intercepted another pilot who tried to crash the plane a lot of respect to pilots wow 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️✈️
Kudos to the hero pilot pros- typo error 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️
Awesome landing thank God
Flight 232 ( the impossible landing) was the first time a plane lost all hydraulics smh
They didn't land it
Fly/land without any hydraulics? The venerable DC-8 could do it - there was even an abnormal checklist for that condition. My husband did it once.
Have you ever noticed in this program the narrators of Air Crash Investigation aired by NATGEO are different by Mayday Air Disaster aired by Discovery Channel, despite using the same reenaction?!
What an armchair dankey for even suggesting the journalists could have done something to stop the attack.
I think I would have thrown up once I stopped... lol
Wow! Going just by the preview, like 10seconds in, i am looking for my seatbelt to be fully fastened and all sharp objects safely stowed away and to hang on for dear life.
Looks fascinating and perhaps there is goodnews at the end ?!
Edit: this guys performance might just be the finest act of flying in the history of aviation.
Rivetting !!
The flight part was done before: July 19, 1989, United Airlines Flight 232 crash landed in Sioux City, Iowa, U.S.A.
Although there were survivors, it wasn’t considered successful.
"they could overrun the runway"
lady, i think that's the least of their worries
Do you know anyone which season and episode? Thank you for help
Bet that pilot was no longer single after this great landing. 😆
PCA: Propulsion-Controlled Aircraft
Ok man , I seen an object hit the wing of the aircraft it must of been very scared for the pilots and crew , I could not bare to watch this as my Uncle was a 747 pilot 😊
"Special operation" today, I feel like I heard that before....
Question is who is the terrorist? People who fight for their country or people who occupied their country?
Those people who hits the plane are from the world most worse people, also which their evil heart and mind will never change ever...
I wish I could find the music these shows use
I understand the added "protection" the new sofware might give. However, these men did it on pure grit, using what knowledge they had of how a plane works and adapting to the emergency. We put too much emphasis and trust into computers. Computers fail.
Pilots who are trained to rely almost soley on their computers especially the advanced auto pilot, are losing touch with the human element of knowing how to fly. This proves disastrous when technology fails.
Totally true! Many averted plane crashes had pilots with previous military flying experience which focused more training on creative problem solving and in-depth knowledge of plane behaviors in adverse conditions. Typical airline pilot training doesn't incorporate that unfortunately.
"control terrorism to acceptable level"? Which level is that?
The best one is ' no more talking ' bye ,
44:40 They did not consider SAM attack... but it seems also they did not consider that the Japanese and Sioux City situations will occur again. It seems to me that this will occur every 20 years.
