A Plane Lost Its Floor But the Captain Saved the Day

- Imagine you need to get from Los Angeles to New York. To make it not so painfully long, you choose to take American Airlines Flight 96, with stopovers in Detroit and Buffalo. But several minutes after your plane leaves Detroit, it happens. Seemingly out of the blue - bang! And a part of the aircraft's floor is missing right under your feet!
It happened on June 12, 1972. Captain Bryce McCormick was an aviation veteran with more than 24,000 flight hours under his belt. The co-pilot was also an experienced airman. There were 56 passengers on board the plane and 11 crew members. When the autopilot was turned on and the chief flight attendant went to the galley to make coffee, it happened. She was suddenly brought down to the floor by a powerful explosion...

SUMMARY:
- All the control panel readings were normal, so Whitney turned on the autopilot. He didn't have anything to worry about: the radar confirmed that there was no bad weather on the route between Detroit and Buffalo.
- Cydya Smith, the chief flight attendant on Flight 96, left her seat as soon as she saw the signs off and went to the galley to make coffee. And at exactly that moment, it happened.
- The cockpit was rapidly filling with dark gray dust that blinded the men and didn't let them breathe.
- Unexplainably, a cargo door had been blown out less than 5 minutes after takeoff, and it left the plane with a gaping hole in its side.
- Hurricane force winds were sweeping through the cabin. One of the cabin crew members, Beatrice Copeland, was trapped under the collapsed door, unconscious.
- The biggest problem was that the DC-10 had one peculiarity: it didn't have a backup system that allowed for manual operation if the hydraulic system got knocked out.
- At that moment, the people on board the damaged plane still didn't know how lucky they were having Mr. McCormick as a pilot. Being curious about some of the DC-10 features, he’d spent hours on a flight deck simulator.
- McCormick understood that his damaged plane would need the priority to land, and he contacted the Detroit airport control tower.
- When the plane touched down, it was still moving incredibly fast. But the worst thing was that the aircraft was moving toward the main terminal building.
- Miraculously, Whitney managed to return the plane to the runway, with two sets of wheels running on the runway and the other two off.
- ll 67 people on board were alive, with only 11 not very serious injuries (9 passengers and 2 crew).
- A large cargo door gone as if peeled away by a huge can opener. But on the very same day, the missing door was located in a cornfield not far from Windsor, and investigators came to a shocking conclusion.

When a plane is about to crash, people only care about their own lives. But there is one person on board that cares about everybody’s lives, the pilot. Respect the pilot.
Thx for reading x
That had to be the longest 30 minutes of their lives.

Wow! The not being able to slow down when they were approaching the runway. As the first mate noticed the speed of 184 mph was not allowing the plane to descend at at a safe drop in altitude but rather began dropping at a much faster rate they knew they wouldn't be able to safely land on the runway without crashing upon impact. So when the pilot began to speed up the plane it began to descend slower. Temporarily. And that they were 880 (?) feet from the edge of the runway. Brilliant pilot who was able to save everyone's life. Amazing and extremely frightening!
The door wasnt secured like it supposed to be glad everyone survive including the crew.
It was a design flaw with the securing mechanism. There were at least 2 other flights that experienced the same problem.
Are you a flight attendant I don’t think so
@@aallisonn_6026 i just going off by what i seen it dont take a rocket scientist to noticed or a flight attendants to notice thing what ur point of saying that.
Allison Aoxx I’m an engineer and it’s my job to know about this stuff.
The cargo loader in Detroit tried to secure the door but he couldn't because the lever that locked the door was jammed. He had to apply extra force with his knee, but the door still wasn't secure. He warned the ground mechanic about this and requested to ground the flight until the cargo door was secured.
0:13 I’m pretty sure New York isn’t right next to Delaware lol
No it is;)
Imagine how the people would have felt when the floor disappeared from the bottom of their feet. I am glad that no one was standing on that section. This tells that you should be careful even if you are in a fully safe flight or anywhere else.

Wait they turned off the no smoking sign?
Why?
The Great Duk I got confused too because smocking isn’t allowed on flights Edit: it might be bc the rule was only made after this happened
The rule didn't exist yet, it was only 1972
Plane in old days had smoking sections but now it's completely prohibited.

They must’ve been very lucky to have that Captain as there pilot he and the co pilot should have got a huge promotion they saved 50+ lives! What a hero😌
The most shocking moment was when the plane landed safely🤣
Yes.
Yeah!
IKR?
i bet (or I HOPE) that design flaw was fixed in a hurry! a miracle that no one on that plane died that day!
The most shocking was that a design flaw almost caused a crash.
Even more shocking? That same design flaw caused a crash two years later.
What I found most shocking was that no one died
Yeah me to
This is a great video to watch 1 week before my flight to New York

What an amazing story! I’m most surprised by the fact that no one was seriously injured in such a low visibility environment. Thanks BRIGHT SIDE 😉
The most shocking thing I found was how technological airplanes were in 1972.
Unknown legend less computers more mechanics can make planes better yes some computers but all should have machanic backups
@@wargodsix 100%
@@wargodsix that was the best thing about the 737....it still uses cables and pulleys to connect the flight control surfaces to the cockpit levers....
Those planes can still be flown with total electronic failure.

What did I find the most shocking?
That they allowed a plane with design flaws to fly.

Why the heck was that lady wearing the pink shirt smiling?!
American Airlines Flight 96 (AA96/AAL96) was a regular domestic flight operated by American Airlines from Los Angeles to New York via Detroit and Buffalo. On June 12, 1972, the left rear cargo door of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 operating the flight blew open and broke off en route between Detroit and Buffalo above Windsor, Ontario; the accident is thus sometimes referred to as the Windsor incident, although according to the NTSB it is an accident, not an incident.[2]
So That accident was the reason we seet air vents in aircrafts nowadays.
Hey do you notice the music is lower pitched?
Same!
Put on 1.25x
Wow my heart was pounding fast once I saw this story
5:06 that’s me in front
3:17 I think the guy with the earphone thinks the loud noise and the screaming is part of the music,
like rock music
But he's calm, so maybe not rock music
3:22 - Dude just chillin in an air emergency.
Hi Bright Side! I love riddles and everytime I wanna test my brain, I click on one of your videos and then I keep clicking on more and more. You're amazing!
Imagine how terrifying it must of been in the terminal building like u r trying to convince your kid that the flight will be okay and down comes an airoplane with holes in it towards u. Like what
Technology today should have cameras for the pilots.
**a hole breaks in floor**
Passanger sitting there: WHAT THE F**** JUST HAPPEND??????????!!!!!!
u mean f*** not f** XD
The entire flight crew was awarded American Airlines' highest honor, The Distinguished Service Award for Merit: Bryce McCormick (Captain), R. Paige Whitney (First Officer), Clayton Burke (Flight Engineer), Cydya Joyce Smith (Purser), Bea Copeland, Janice Hickingbottom, Colleen Maley, Sandra McConnell, Carol Kay McGhee, Marlene Saydah and Carol Stevens (Flight Attendants).[13]
3:16 the guy's headphone must be very good for 1972
Thumbnail is Tokyo thank me later
Guy with headphones: YEAH I LOVE THIS
Bright side:AHHH WHY IS THERE A HOLE
3:54 Aren't the flight attendants supposed to help you? Cuz this girl just dipped 😂
Douglas: 😪 Really? It's always the DC-10 Cargo door causing the accidents.
NTSB: It's not just the cargo door. The rear cabin floor is missing relief vents. Put some vents into the floor, fix your Rube Goldberg locking mechanism, and install some backups. If you don't people will die.
1:25
Did someone notice first pilot was on the left side and captain on the right?
Yes I even commented that
I noticed
I WOULD CHOSE BOTH BUT MOSTLY ON PLANES NICE INTRO BTW
Give these 2 men a freaking metal and a promotion they saved lives! Sure the Airport made a bad plane design but at least they have well trained and pro pilots
McDonnell Douglas is to blame, not the airport. The cargo handler told the ground mechanic to stop the plane from taking off because he had trouble securing the cargo door.
