Am a Kenyan this disaster took one of my close relative.... may all countinue Resting in peace.
If you have the watched the full episode, I hope you now have some closure now that you know what caused it. If there is one thing I’ve learned from watching this show, it’s that relatives of the victims want to know why it happened so that others don’t lose their family and friends.
@@Powerranger-le4up exactly
As well
First time hearing smithsonian mention our country
RIP I’m sorry for your loss :(
me: absolutely terrified of flying
also me: has watched every single plane crash video on this channel
Just FYI, these incidents have only made flying safer. We learn from the incidents and use our newfound knowledge to improve the safety.
My first flight ever was nine hours long and the only reason I did it was because I wanted to fly in a plane at least once in my life and because there was someone I really cared for waiting for me at the end of my trip. However I'm terrified of heights and claustrophobic. It was an awesome and terrifying experience but I let the excitement of visiting another country and rekindling my friendship with my friend overtake my fears and with a little help of old Jhonnie Walker. It was the best experience I ever had in my life! I did things there that I always imagined that I would do in the states first. Take a ski lift, rent a cabin, start my first fire to keep warm, hike up the mountains, see snow for the first time! What an experience! Unfortunately I will never fly again! My mind will not allow me to do so. My fear of heights but not so much the claustrophobia will always keep me grounded. It sucks! Yet still I'm addicted to these airplane accident videos I don't know why. Nonetheless Chile is a beautiful and amazing country! I was so impressed by how well their infrastructure and public transportation was built. Not to mention that they have certain cities that have this romance/artistic/cultural nostalgia to them. I really wish I could go back there again some day but I don't think that watching these videos will help. LOL
@@eduardorodriguez3110 Well, at least you have experienced the beauty of aviation once ^w^
I have good news for you Samantha, only %0,11 of all the planes that fly will have a technical problem or crash.
@@Zeb_Hiel I would like to outline the fact that the amount of crashes of that 0.11% is extremely small. Most technical problems will not cause an emergency, and those who do usually don’t result in a crash.

it was a very low moment for us Kenyans back then I was in primary school in class six and I remember our headmistress asking us on parade to pray for the affected victims it really made us all change the way we view flying

“There are no survivors”
**upbeat music plays**
*happy music plays*
I remember when Smithsonian actually changed the outro to a more sincere gray color with no music for a short time. Then for some reason they reverted back to the "happy ending."
:) there are no survivors

Date: 5/7/2007
Passengers: 108
Fatalities: 114
Survivors: 0
Flight: Kenya Airways Flight 507
I remember this episode. The pilots thought the autopilot was engaged, but it wasn't. So no one was flying the plane and so it started banking and they tried to recover but it was too late. This is crazy stuff.
Why the autopilot was not engaged? Was this due to a pilot mistake or a technical problem?
@@jiheddridi3568 Probably due to a pilot error
This happened in my country..RIP to those souls onboard 🙏🏽
The co pilot kinda froze there for a good amount of time.
I saw the episode and the reason why. During the first flight before this one, the captain greatly mistreated the first officer during the flight. Some of what the investigators heard were words towards the copilot like “stupid”, “shut up”, and other words you wouldn’t hear a professional crew member say. It basically caused the 23 year old first officer to shut down.
Due to poor CRM, the captain was allegedly known to be unpredictable...
@@explorelondon3695 and authoritarian.
@@Powerranger-le4up Unfortunately so, he failed in his duty of care but that said, since he's not here to defend himself, ill leave it there. Regards🙏
@@explorelondon3695 I wasn’t defending him either.
Some captains also think the title makes them absolute emperors unfortunately
finally a videos from my home country kenya😊
Good for you
From what I noticed on Facebook when it showed the full episode, this crash affected a lot of Kenyans. Some of them actually knew the first officer who was only 23 at the time this happened. I felt pretty bad for them because of it. However, I am glad they got some closure after learning the cause.
Kindly post the full episodes' link.
Pilot: weather is in a bad condition😭
Also pilot: wets take off now😎
the bad weather clouds moved away from the runway when they requested start up. they skipped that part tho.
@@camilajimenez480 i know😀
@Sharan Shibu it wasn't safe
@@kirilmihaylov1934 yes
These videos are too addictive for some odd reason. I can’t stop watching them! 🥺
Yeah me too
Agreed
*lovely accent*
" Tower, looks like there's a break in the weatha"
Lmao
Lmfaoooo
Imagine the feeling of the passengers before take-off and after take-off 😭
There was 1 survivor. Scroll down.
Keep scrolling
The cameraman
@@DMVRailfan Yup the cameraman is somehow immortal 🤣
I like watching these without earbuds while waiting for boarding.
Wow what's up Satan
@@dasypus Why ?
NOTED: never go on a plane when a smithsonian cameras on board lol
This is getting painfully old
I saw this comment like 60 times
Okay sad but this made me lol
Lol 😂
Rest in peace pilots of that plane.
Love this channel from India...
I remember watching this on T back in cameroon, families members running at the airport, crying and it was so strange
Narrator: There are no survivors.
Smithsonian: It's brighter here!
Wah!
This is so annoying!
Couldnt they use one of the oldest aviators trick putting engine 1 to idle and engine 2 to max power to bring the wing back up
They panicked or they didn't have any experience with that kind of situation
:(
I love how the narration goes "despite the pilots' efforts, they keep rolling". Only to reveal later on that it was ONLY because of the pilots' that they were rolling at all :'''')
I didn't catch though why the plane was rolling, can you clear that up? To me it seemed to just roll uncontrollably, maybe equipment failure?
@@cervandorios5777 Once airborne, the plane had a tendency to bank right due to a combination of manufacturing deviation and the slightly right position of the rudder trim. The captain initially countered this by using his control wheel, as per standard procedure. Twenty-four seconds after take-off, at an altitude of 1000 ft, the captain let go of the control wheel, and eighteen seconds later he indicated to the first officer to engage the autopilot. But the first officer didn't do so, and in the 55 seconds that followed, the aircraft was being piloted by neither pilot nor the autopilot. The captain didn't notice the resulting excessive bank until too late, and when he did notice, he made erratic control inputs that only made the situation worse, and so they crashed.
@@cervandorios5777 the plane was rolling to the right because it had some problems with the slats .but it wasn't something to be very dangerous. But the captain mishandled the situation badly and the result was a catastrophe where everybody died .that's why you don't fly on 3rd world countries airlines at night. Never
@@kirilmihaylov1934
Bullshit statement you wrote there about "3rd" world countries.
@@kirilmihaylov1934 I assume you are Russian or Ukrainian, you do know Russia and the Ukraine are also poor backward developing countries (especially Russia with a corrupt authoritarian communist government that disregards human rights) like the rest of eastern Europe right? Lol.
Also Russia has had some of the most ridiculously embarrassing airplane accidents caused by incompetence like a mid-air collision because the Russian pilots were too incompetent and poorly trained to decide whether to listen to the Air Traffic Controller or the TCAS.
If there are airlines no one should fly on whether it's night or day it would be the corrupt and mismanaged Russian passenger airlines haha.
U guys should upload all the episodes. So we can know what really happened
Love this channel from India
Flying in storm its a real challenge for the pilot
Was the narrator trying to say Kenya Airlines I kept thinking he was saying quinoa airlines
1:17 the plane wants to control itself now
1:04 Kenya Airways Flight 507 departs Douala Airport For Nairobi at 00:06 p.m the flight is scheduled to arrive in Nairobi at 6:15 a.m the plane is a Boeing 737-800
1:16 Suddenly the plane starts banking right the pilots struggle for control of the plane but the plane continues banking further and further right despite the pilots efforts they keep rolling
1:55 the captain then shouts We're crashing! The first officer responds with yeah we are crashing. The captain then shouts Left! Left! He then applies a left hand turn to the control column all the while the GPWS is saying Pull Up! And the Computer is saying Bank Angle! The plane is in a near inverted dive towards the swamp
3:00 the plane has crashed in Mbango Pongo unfortunately there are no survivors
So sad,,😭, also from +254🇰🇪
I've watched this and the appropriate method is to adjust the aileron and rudder trim
The first officer reacted correctly, but the captain certainly didn’t.
The captain was still tilting the control column to the right even when the plan was on the bank angle on the right side!! The first officer later turned it to the left but it was too late!! They couldn't recover from a bank angle! May be just they had to rotate the control column to the left first, then it would have been corrected
The autopilot was activated by the captain after the bank angle warning sounded, but he then made control inputs that turned it back off.
They did not have time to do that, so they turned it upside down and flew it.....
This is not the whole story of this that happened. There's more to this. Both pilots were extremely incompetent and made this happen due to carelessness.
"Keeeennya Airways"
Good video!
Narrator: There are no survivors
Music: 💃💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺🕺
He should applied speed breaks as it reduces bank angle
Thats the day where I exactly Born May 4 2007
Thanks this gave a flying phobia
“There are no survivors”
Smithsonian: It’s brighter here 💃💃💃
i fly almost every season and i am used to flying, crashes dont make me feel more scared, they make me feel more safe since i know crashes make companies upgrade their safety, but i feel bad for all the victims.....
R.I.P. pilot Mucheru.
Voo voo!
Walla boom!
Na' Hagga fa'luni.
Shmersh
co pilot didn't turn on autopilot because he is hinder by captain yelling and Captain went into spatial disorientation
What exactly you by the last sentence
@@retr0gaminghub inner ear not wrk, no ballance
The captain was mistreating the 23 year old copilot calling him stupid and other insults which caused him to shutdown mentally
Romarco how do you know
@@maxlovesmemes7818 He and I know that because we saw the episode.
Great outro it gives a amazing spirt
I remember this , I was in the university in douala city where they took off, back then. We called it mbanga mpongo crash which is the name of the area where the plane crashed. Rip
How many years ago this incident took place?
@@syedhammadali7396 about 14 years ago
RIP Boeing 737-800 and the pilots/ Passengers, may they rest in peace.
737 bank right
Also pilot: turn left and right 🤨
At 0:33 seconds ,the first officer doesn't want to depart
You can see in his face reactions
Lol😂
May God protect people going with airlines
When the nerrator says DOUALA but the duala tower says "dola"
Kenya my country 🇰🇪😪
Wait Kenya’s a country I didn’t know that
Did you know any of the people onboard?
From where i can see the whole episode are they any apps or channel ? Could any one please suggest???
We’re crashing 😂
Yeah we’re crashing🥴
Well, what do you expect? The plane banked to the left and the pilot makes it worse by steering it like a bumper car.
I've flown Kenyan airways a month ago from Amsterdam - Nairobi. It's a good thing I didn't watch this episode 😱😱😱
Rest in peace pilots of keyna 507.
Not the captain, he caused the crash.
@@benthomas2232 you can’t say that of someone that passed away
@@john-darrenesterhuizen9008 Yes I can, his actions led to the crash, thus he is responsible. The airline were also to blame for lack of training. Seriously who corrects the aircraft’s roll by applying full left and right maniacal manipulations of the yoke?
Remember, he was the PM (Pilot Flying) and he was a captain. And the Co-Pilot was the PM (Pilot Monitoring) tried to warn the captain about the steadily increasing roll to the right due to Flap Malfunction causing an imbalance of lift.
@@benthomas2232 even if he made mistakes may he rest in peace
Plane crashed into swamp, killing everyone.
Smithsonian: It's Brighter in Here
i like the nigerian accent soo cool and funny especially when on jokes
Yes The 737 Has A critical flaw all of em was reccaled
This one hit close to home
1:37
Theres this black mass in the animation
If you’re scared of flying, the chances of crashing will rise.
these pilots were very bad, they didn't even receive takeoff clearance
@Smithsonian_channel You should add the post crash investigation report and cause of crash to the video as well.
The crashing seasons (Fatal Ones) happened from 1987 - 2001 and 2004 - 2010.
Never been afraid of flight till now
I dont know why but the pilot just chanting HALA is funny to me
Also rest in peace to crew passangers and pilots
Why does the narrator keep calling it keen-ya??? And why would that plane have no contact with any towers for 5 hours???
because kenya is pronounced KE-NIA..bet many kenyans even pronounce it wrong
@@iamlusasiTV haha nope
That bank angle alert is wrong lol
He is saying "POWER"!
Cap: "We are crashing!!!"
Co- pilot: " yeah !! We are crashing."
Sarcasm at the wrong moment
nice vid
All because of a slight imperfection... one of the flaps was deployed lower than the other...
Reminds me that ethiopian airlines flight 409 crashed into the sea
Get off the plane if you see Smithsonian crew on board ,,, they'll be saved anyway
Watching this 14 years later
they r driving the plane upside down lol
now here's an episode I haven't seen.
from the looks of it, was it vertigo?
No it was pilot mistake
This app was great
Why don't you put full episodes here?
Smithsonian channel its brighter here plane crashed nobody survived
Where do we watch the whole episode?
I think the there is problem with the angle measuring device(don't know the technical term ) and software in b737 .....
All the past incidents of b737 are coz of some error in that ....
AOA (Angle Of Attack) vane.
I like how all the pilots and ATC talk super slow so the viewers can understand. Not realistic lol 😂.
Today I'm going to wake up and complain about people talking slow in a reenactment!!!
They could use the fuel transfer thingy to level up the plane
Bro really said kinya airways 💀
My country man
He ends his shift noticing the plane is gone
Nope he noticed only when called as he should.Focus on the screen,unless on breaks.
It was the pilot suggesting there was a "break on weather" only using radar instead of waiting for the metreologists..The control tower did not confirm with the weatherman first, he just agreed the hurried takeoff..this is how every office is run in africa
Please speak for Zimbabwe or whatever it is you come from
@@nyikasplace9886 i come from kenya, is my right to free speech still apply there too?
From watching these videos and the show I am making a list of which airlines not to fly. Add air Kenya 🇰🇪
Kenya airways hasn't had a crash in 14 yrs
I mean nearly every airline had a crash so.
Kenyan airlines is not bad , there’s been accidents on other airlines which are even more popular
This is the only crash Kenya Air has had in history
This is so sad
Its odd that controller never followed up with the plane minutes after take off.
Cause Kenya 507 took off without permission in the first place
@@Slimappol 0:28 bruh they literally did get permission.
@@Supersailor60 They got permission to start up the airplane, not take off.
It would've been "Kenya 507, cleared for takeoff" otherwise "Kenya 507, start-up approved"
You need to ask for permission before every task you do
Taken from the official Kenya 507 report:
"Then the airplane takes off without requesting
or obtaining the TO clearance.
This intervention of communication by the captain may have affected the FOs flow of radio communication, and may have eventually led to aircraft taking off without TO clearance"
Overall, it was an odd mistake that did not have anything to do with the crash
@@Slimappol They said lift off.
Can we carry a parachute bag with us as luggage?
Where can I get the full episodes of these documentaries????
Try Facebook. It’s how I’ve found them.
@@Powerranger-le4up Thanks. The whole episodes can be watched on facebook??
@@victornderu143 Yes
That really happened in 2007
