I truly love how you show the accident aircraft continuing its flight path as if the incident never occurred on the end of your videos. May everyone RIP.
Thank you for going back many decades for this video. Highlighting incidents prior to the 80s is useful in bringing attention to the comparatively awful crash rates back in the "good ol' days", when modern tech like GPWS, GPS, ADSB, TCAS, etc, didn't exist. Of course commercial aviation crashes still happen, often due to human error, but it's nothing remotely like it used to be. I'm old enough to remember reading about fatal airliner crashes far too often.
I remember first hearing about this crash in the show Mad Men the episode titled Flight 1. This was so sad, RIP to all who perished, very good simulation. Kind of reminds me of American 587. I like how it shows it fly off at the end as if it had not crashed.
great graphics, love the changing reflections off the fuselage, Servo damaged during manufacturing, this was a major disaster awaiting to happen from day 1. Terrible waste of lifes.
There were several notable passengers aboard including hotel magnate Arnold Kirkeby who owned Chartwell, the mansion shown in the opening credits to the Beverly Hillbillies.
I was thinking they should have turned off the autopilot and taken control immediately, but it happened so fast. Turning on the autopilot so early in the flight seems crazy.
I can't speak for 1962, but in modern times, the autopilot is typically engaged immediately after takeoff except for high-traffic areas, where manual control is used to steer clear of traffic. The pilots couldn't have expected there to be a defect in the autopilot system and were probably following normal procedures.
@@ProdagistNOT true. As a 30+ year airline pilot, I can tell you pilots typically “hand fly” the jet up to around 10,000 ft before turning on the autopilot (just as my Dad did in his airline career). If the departure procedure is complicated with many altitude and airspeed restrictions, then a pilot usually would then turn on the autopilot a little earlier.
One of the passengers who was killed on American Airlines flight 191 on May 25, 1979 that crashed in Chicago had his parents die on this flight as well 17 years apart and basically the same type of crash when the left wing dipped down in the plane rolled over
You should do that one Braniff 707 test flight (In the late 1950s I believe) that performed excessive bank angles during testing to the point of 3 engines coming off. The plane made a crash landing in a riverbed. I think it happened in 1959.

I hate to spoil your transcript but this accident happened in 1962 which was before CVR’s were mandated for every commercial plane. So this plane in particular had no CVR recorder
That incident was caused by a completely different problem. In that case it was a bad rudder actuator, which was from bad maintenance if I remember correctly.
MPC, Please Do The Reconstruction Of *Sepahan Airlines Flight 5915* And *Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 217* And *Aeromist-Kharkiv Flight 2137?* You Can Do It In Your Time........ Thank You....
The pilots were made helpless prisoners in the cockpit by a defect in their plane. They could not have known what the problem was, or how to correct it, and at only 1000 feet did not have enough time to even if they could have tried.
I read the accident report wile in training. I believe he engaged the autopilot below 1000 feet. After this accident the AP was not to be engaged below 400 feet. Flight tests Were done at altitude and it took 17000 feet to recover from hard over rudder in their configuration. Most 707s were then built with or converted to series yaw damper. The series yaw damper had a separate yaw damp coupler and operated the ruder hydraulicly with a electro hydraulic valve. It did not use the the rudder cables or autopilot computer.

Nice graphics as with all your productions. I watch many other producers of aviation accidents with most conclusions point to pilot error, poor management, poor weather planning. But when Auto systems became the norm it seems we’ve added another way to crash because of miss management, bad data and to much reliance. Not sure if this flight being so low would have benefited from a disconnect anyway.
same accident occured in tahiti/oceania on july 22 of 1973 with N-417PA Flight 876: cause= "indetermined" aircraft sank into ocean @~2000 ft just after left turn,some parts of aircraft and bodies recovered but not the CVR
It is believed that this accident was caused by spatial disorientation because it departed in pitch black without any lights (islands, boats) to see. Perhaps an instrument like the altimeter or the artificial horizon failed but maybe they didn't pay attention, the South Pacific Pan Am crews had a bad reputation and safety record in the early 70s; drinking and stubborn, captains not accepting input or warnings from his crew. Probably not the servo motor failure as that item was checked better since the AA 1 crash.
Absolutely first class videos on this channel. Productions are way more superior than the other channels. You need more subscribers !
I truly love how you show the accident aircraft continuing its flight path as if the incident never occurred on the end of your videos. May everyone RIP.
You "truly love" this feature????😮
I also like the ending of the videos. It's like the flight is still happening in an opposite world,so to speak. And the music suits it perfectly xx
My father was an editor with UPI news service and covered this crash. I was in NYC for the ticker tape parade for John Glenn.

Keeping in mind there MILLIONS and MILLIONS of flights every single DAY!!! At THAT time, MAYBE a couple HUNDRED daily. MAYBE...

The picture quality is remarkably good for 1962. Great view of the tragic crash site.

I believe that other 707's servos were affected by this problem. The inspection saved lives.
Pretty impressive they were able to isolate a short circuit as the cause after a high speed impact into the water.
That was I thought too . Very strange
Nice Graphics, thank you. I like the 'positive' Note at the end - Blue Skies and Tailwinds
holy crap. never even heard of this accident.
My god…those poor people. What a horror filled last 20 seconds of their lives.
There were several notable passengers aboard including hotel magnate Arnold Kirkeby who owned Chartwell, the mansion shown in the opening credits to the Beverly Hillbillies.
Yes, including Linda McCartney's mother, and a millionaire friend of Eisenhower.
15 pieces of artwork by the painter Gorsky were destroyed as well.
I was thinking they should have turned off the autopilot and taken control immediately, but it happened so fast. Turning on the autopilot so early in the flight seems crazy.
That's because it is crazy!

It's Very Sad That *Western Airlines Flight 366* Crashed On The Same Circunstance Of Flight 1....
It Was On March 31th 1979..... Right?
@AqueleMulekeDanado I Guess So....

You showed an eerie ghost aircraft. Nobody in either the flight deck or passenger cabin :)
Superb graphics. Excellent job.
Thanks!
Didn't know about this one. Excellent vid, as usual.
This is the flight that was fictionalized in the series Mad Men that killed Pete Campbell’s father. Brutal.

Sounds a lot like the uncommanded roll of the Boeing 737 years later that resulted in deaths.
That incident was caused by a completely different problem. In that case it was a bad rudder actuator, which was from bad maintenance if I remember correctly.
Three pilots and one FE.

Thank you
Terrifying! - but awesome presentation! … 👌
Linda McCartneys mother died on this flight.

Wrong, "rap man".
Actually, she and Paul started "Apple" with a simple home recording studio and TWO signed bands-Beatles and Badfinger.
@@rapman5791 Show some respect, you piece of filth.
The pilots were made helpless prisoners in the cockpit by a defect in their plane. They could not have known what the problem was, or how to correct it, and at only 1000 feet did not have enough time to even if they could have tried.
Why did they turn on autopilot so quickly and then disengage it when the trouble started?
Sorry to nitpick, the 707 shown has only one over wing exit per side instead of two.
I read the accident report wile in training. I believe he engaged the autopilot below 1000 feet. After this accident the AP was not to be engaged below 400 feet.

Doesnt the airline usually change the flight numbers after a crash?
Whatdoes SIC stand for again? I’m kinda dumb sometimes lol

@airlinerlist actually there were 2 fatal crashes because of rudder problems back in the nineties
Couldn't they have pulled the A/P C/B & taken over manually? Any heavy jet jockeys out there can answer that?
Boeings sloppy work practises go back decades!
Bendix built the actuator. Air Bus has its share of foul ups. Like auto pilots not answering commands, pito static systems caused crashes.
@@jayreiter268pitot tube wasn't Airbus fault you schmuck
The unintelligent just parrot the crap they read online.

Let's talk about the wings coming off Lockheed L-188 or DeHavilland comets coming apart in flight
Fake
