- Some of the worst aviation disasters in history like Japan Airlines Flight 123 and Swissair Flight 111 were caused by fatal flaws that the pilots had no hope of overcoming to steer the plane to safety. Seemingly insignificant design features or shoddy repair work doomed these flights and their passengers from the start.

The JAL tragedy was more tragic due to the fact that after the crash, there was a lot of people still alive but because they were left there until the next day they died due to hypothermia…
You know what pains me the most about Japan Airlines 123?
The US had helicopters on stand by to start rescuing the survivors of the crash, but Japanese Authorities said no. What's worst there are stories about how the locals could hear cries of help of the initial survivors getting weaker and weaker through the night.
I’ve heard about it too. I blame national pride because even if you believe that there aren’t any survivors, you should still check anyway. So many would still be alive had Japan allowed the United States to help.
The Japanese themselves had a rescue crew on the ground but they didn’t even bother to search until the next morning assuming there were no survivors,
Also they camped out in the nearest town for the night and resumed their search the next day. It's documented by this very same channel.
I think this is one of those scenario where a US base built on foreign land (there are 750 bases btw for global domination) can be beneficial.
YES... Pride is why
That part just broke my heart.😓
All these incidents were infuriating and tragic at the same time. All these pilots were heroes.

I've noticed that faulty maintenance is a cause in many air crash incidents, maintenance crew hiring should be just as detailed as hiring pilots, pilots fly the planes they can't fix or maintain them. The overwhelming majority of maintenance crews are highly skilled professionals who take a lot of pride in their work but I've seen quite a few stories of maintenance crews cutting corners or not following through on something which led to disaster. Of course, If an airline is cheap and cutting corners on personnel, parts, or maintenance procedures, then it wouldn't matter how skilled they were.
I KNOW - WE KNOW . THEY ARE ALWATS CUTTING CORNERS. MONEY OVER SAFETY
@@rp7r54 Well, if the planes and their parts weren't so damned expensive, yet had the same quality demanded by the regs, that wouldn't be as much a worry, now would it?
@@nightrunnerxm393 It's really not that simple... The cost for those parts usually go towards innovating better/safer way's to fly. Not to mention the sheer amount of labor/machinery and resources needed to manufacture one. Those things don't just pop into existence you know. If there's some form of perfect material out there that eliminates all these issues while being common enough to be cheap; we haven't found it as of yet. Without this miracle material/science the aviation industry is quite literally fighting an uphill battle against Murphy's law.
Problem with that though is... Now you are fighting against possibilities; which may as well be infinite. Fixing one problem means you now have to consider what risks that solution comes with. The clearest answer anyone has come up with at this point is... Let's just build as much redundancy as possible so hopefully nothing ever happens- Of course Murphy can be a spiteful ***** and does a dang good job at expanding peoples Horizen's when it comes to what can go wrong.
@Samurai Warriors Unite, Not just anybody can walk off the street and start working as a aviation mechanic. Aircraft mechanics must successfully graduate from aviation mechanics and must also be certified.
My biggest concern with aviation mechanics is their level of compensation. On average, they only earn $55,000 plus benefits a year. Currently their salaries top out at around $75,000, so it concerns me that like TSA agents, who are terribly paid, these critical workers are not being adequately compensated.
@@tatyanaromanov2372 I always assumed that airplane mechanics were well paid because they are the ones that keep the aircraft flying safely. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess
I can't imagine how helpless the pilots felt that watched the MD83 crash. That will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Every one of the pilots of these flights were exceptional human beings, especially the pilots of Alaska Flight 261...
Especially when they were trying to pull a Denzel Washington and try to fly it upside down. 99% of the pilots in these are pretty amazing except for the few times where some absolute garbage people who choose to crash intentionally because they want to end their own life and are ok taking 200 other people with them
Just one little thing that’s not checked or is messed up can bring a whole plane down! I’ve been on tons of flights. Thank goodness for all of the workers that checked everything properly! Scary af!!
In 1968 I boarded a flight from Kansas City flying to Huntington, WV with a stop in Charlotte, NC. We took off from KC and flew into a storm with lots of bouncing around. The plane started coming apart on the inside. The panel separating the classes came loose and was flopping around, overhead storage items were coming out and flying around the cabin, and the plane was falling and gaining altitude rapidly. Finally, we got out of the dang weather and landed in Minneapolis, in the opposite direction than we were supposed to be going. At any rate the airline put us on another plane. We had just taken off when there was smoke in the cabin. We returned to the airport safely and were waiting to board another plane. However, while taxiing the nose wheel collapsed. Again, we passengers were offered another flight. I declined and asked for ground transportation, they accommodated my request and gave me a Greyhound bus ticket. OK, great, I got to the bus station, loaded on the bus and when it was backing out of its slot, we hit another bus. I finally made it to my home in West Virginia three days later. You might say this sounds fantastic, but it really happened, and this is not the worst commercial travel I ever had.
I have since flown many, many miles and trust the airline industry. However, I know Aircraft mechanics are over worked and underpaid. Just think about ii; mechanic have your life in their hands, probably more so than the flight crew. Aircraft are so electronically controlled that they can, in themselves overcome a pilot's short comings. This is not the case with the mechanic. If the mechanic makes a mistake and the TI does not catch it the passenger pays the price either in terror or by death.
How old are you?
@@anthonyrg3795
Old enough to board a plane in 1968...I'd guess around the late 60s or mid-'70s.
The mid-'70s is the new 40, haven't you heard? 🥰
Dude the universe did not want you getting home promptly. Maybe because of all those other issues you averted some other disaster. I have no idea but that's craziness!
Sounds like a trip my father, boss, and another coworker took. Snowstorm cancelled their flight. The next flight they booked also got cancelled. They then got on a bus and it broke down. Finally they decided on the train. 15mins in it broke down for over an hour.
Wow!
What an adventure!
RIP to all the people who died on these flights may you rest in peace.
"you"? who is the "you" you are talking to? They are all dead, there is no "you".
@@AnnBearForFreedom hahaha he is calling about 1k dead people you
I realize you all are probably in your late teens to mid 20 writing the last few comments so I will try to impart some life advice...
It's not the people who are lost in these accidents but it's the families & friends that are left to pick up the pieces after. That's where one's prayers, heart and condolences should go out to... So they know their not alone or forgotten & there's those of us who understand their pain and understand that even after all the years have passed, one never really forgets the day you found out you lost your loved one in a tragedy...
And yes... I'm speaking from experience & I was around your age when it happened... I remember what it's like to think everything is a joke and that your, as we used to say "bullet proof"...
No one is & it can happen in the blink of an eye...
So in conclusion I finish up by saying I know you are probably just trying to joke around... But... When that blink of an eye is before you... Do you know where you'll be heading to after it happens? I would never tell anyone they have to live or believe as I do... but... I do have to say there's only one of two places that one will be heading to in that blink of an eye...
My little brother was 21yrs old when the tragedy I spoke of earlier happened. I was a year & 10 days older than him... So we were very close... He just got married 2months before it happened. So don't ever think... I don't have to worry about it, for I'm young I've got plenty of time to do things or I'll worry about stuff like that when I get old... Because no one is a guaranteed their next second of life...
I've worked accident scenes that involved the very young to the very old & everything in between...
So I can tell you first hand, death can come for anyone anytime... Just remember what I said...
Only 2 destinations to arrive at...
Do you know where you'll arrive at??
From the grave, thank you.
@@AnnBearForFreedom Excuse me But when you’re granting eternal rest onto them that helps their souls!
I don't care how good the pilots are if the plane isn't maintained and proper maintenance it will eventually fail Common sense
Love these vids ✌️
And to think sometimes the pilots can save lives shows who heroic they are
@@khsjdhskdin So true! Having watched several of these videos, I get the impression that the pilots would rather not be placed in a life threatening/deadly position and are very vocal about improving air safety.
Mechanics are just as important as the pilots why is there such a huge difference in pay. Mechanics are working long hrs to keep these planes in the air, and safety is their number one priority as well. It would be nice to know that if an airline goes so many months without a safety issue that all involved in maintenance would get a substantial bonus. I would feel safer knowing that this was the way it was done.
Does it save money immediately? If the answer is no, they don't do it.
Fun fact: An aircraft mechanic's salary is higher than a pilot's
@Matthew Feldvari piston or turbine?
@Matthew Feldvari They CAN make more. Many do not
But pilots are statistically in a more dangerous positions than mechanics due to which they make more
This was a very good episode going into the root cause behind the crashes and not just the crashes themselves.
It’s always so frustrating when these accidents are caused by some incredibly careless maintenance or cost cutting by the higher ups in the company
RIP to all passengers and crew members lost in each of these crashes….
Im baffled as to how the heck pilots manage to face certain death so calmly. Pilot of Alaska flight 261 calmly said "Here we go".
Because Death is coming for every single one of us. I don’t want to die but when it happens I’ll be ready. I really don’t get how people are so scared to die when you know 1 day it’s going to happen
@@vladimirputin2685 I think when they are screaming waiting for their plane to crash they are waiting for the pain, not the death!!
@@vladimirputin2685 There’s a big difference between dying in your sleep of natural causes at an old age when you and your loved ones knew it was coming and were able to prepare for that day and having your life unexpectedly, abruptly, and violently taken from you in the midst of a life unfinished.
The classic mayday is awesome, the classic specials are by far the best episodes of the show
I'm not sure why but from what I understand, this program is aired identically in Canada and the UK but with different narrators for some reason. As far as I know, they even read the same scripts. But I really prefer the Canadian version narration, he has a nice voice and it adds something without distracting in the least. Nothing against this fellow mind you but it just goes to show you in a program like this, picking the right narrator means the difference between a good product and a great one!
I've seen most of these on another show called Air Disasters.
the narrator on this video is the one that is good ,at least to me
Just a matter of preference is all but if all the components of the video and story are accurate that’s the main thing no doubt.
@@emmettpetry5339 the Smithsonian version of Mayday
You must be a gamer
I wonder why there’s not a plane crash ride at Disney World? It’d be a lot of fun to see oxygen masks drop, things flying around and sides of the cabin being torn away (knowing you’re going to live through it). But it might raise enough fear that it would cause people to cancel air flights to go back home. But Amtrak would be happy.
If I had known any of these things I would have never boarded any aircraft during the 70's when my husband was in the Army. I recall I flew from Texas to California on an American Airlines DC 10. The week after my flight the same type of (and same airline) aircraft had an engine fall off due to faulty maintenance in May of 1979. Felt as if I had dodged a bullet.
These mashups are much more appreciated than you guys splitting up regular episodes to maximize advertising income.
These mashup episodes have already been in existence as original Mayday episodes since long before Wonder's been around. They only upload them
U and 23 others believe that
You do know they are just uploading Mayday episodes as they are
This was a special that was released like 10 or so years ago
Stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
I prefer the long version. It has all the details and context.
Alaska Airlines should have been sued into the stone age.
Agreed. That one makes me angrier than almost any other accident. They actively suppressed any attempts to properly fix and maintain their planes; they blacklisted an employee who blew the whistle; and they caused the death of 88 people. That crew did all they could and somehow almost kept her flying long enough to make an emergency landing in LA. Awful. May they Rest In Peace
Like the Boing tec’s that fu…d up the repair on the aft bulkhead, on the JAL 747
They did. How Alaska Air managed to stay in business is beyond me.
@@nancylongworth9617 These issues deserve another series of videos, if anyone's ready to take on the libel & loss of reputation lawsuits from the airlines, airports & manufacturers.
I lived in Southern California when the plane crashed. It was horrific.
Flight 123 supposed have more survivors if they launch rescue operations when it happen right away. Because of delays only left 4 survivors survive in that crash.
I love this show for the reasons that things in this industry creates changes that make it safer for all. I hope anyone who has lost a loved due to an unfortunate accident gets some peace knowing they didn't die in vain. The deaths of all on the aircraft created changes and or fixes that potentially has saved thousands of lives.
My mind is thinking I wonder what would WONDER post today
4:41 imagine being a pilot and seeing this crash.!!!!!
These investigations are excellent .. I’ve been binge watching these plane crash videos .. of course I’ll never fly ever again! 🥴
After analyzing all these catastrophes, i have come to the definitive conclusion that current flight systems are basically disasters waiting to happen. Current aeroplane technology is not fit for flight tasks.
Coming from an engineering professional, it goes against the fundamental protocol of engineering.
The more complicated the structure, the more parts it contain, the more inefficient and hazardous it becomes.
Omg if you're going to slash costs it should be comforts like soda and pretzels, not maintenance. They were begging for a disaster lol
A pretty good channel for airplane pilots to be aware of mistakes made by others..
It makes me wonder in dread- whether the maintenance will be satisfactory after the drastic reduction in air travel and the relative downsizing of staffing (due to financial crisis) air carriers have faced because of covid.. please let them have this sorted as air travel starts up again 😓🤞
Yikes
@MusicMaster1987
Yeah...I believe that started on trumps' watch.
He even insisted his signature was printed on every stimulus check.. by the way...did you cash that government handout check?
Yeah, biden sucks.
A missing washer caused a fire on a China Airlines jet which fortunately occurred while the plane was parked on the apron. Everyone got out unharmed. To prevent it from happening again, Boeing redesigned the downstop system so that the bolt wouldn’t be able to accidentally puncture the fuel tank. There hasn’t been accident like that since.
Finally! The good narrator
These plane crashes fascinate me. I watch these at bedtime and love falling asleep to them 😂
I have Dang near watched every episode of these over the past six years or so I can throw out all kinds of aviation facts and about crashes and who what when where and why and yet I've never flown lol I'm a guy that has extensive knowledge of flying and has never flown haha. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if I could get in one and fly one having never even been in one hehe "fun fact" the worst crash ever in history didn't even take place in the air. the worst crash ever in history was actually two planes colliding on a runway. so it wasn't even from the air perse. it was at los rodeos airport (now the tenerife airport) on the island of tenerife. 583 people were killed
Same sorta. I watch nearly every day haha.
@@o0o-jd-o0o95 wasnt the worst crash the JAL 123? Or was it the tenerife?
@@seemaairy4789 the Japan Airlines crash killed 520 it's the worst single plane crash but the teneriffe killed 583 with two planes
@@o0o-jd-o0o95 oh something new i learned. All this while i thought JAL was the worst crash. Thanks for the fact👍
I feel for the propeller maintenance guy, being the last one to work on that plane.
I've always wondered if the Alaska Airlines plane would have been able to fly upside down, And these two pilots did fight to the bitter end almost in an academic manner, I wonder if they actually tried to fly upside down as the last resort.
They did.
@@Powerranger-le4up That's why i still think this is the best show of airmanship in the most heroic way despite the outcome. RIP.
In theory, an airplane can “fly” for a short time in any configuration, as it can merely be moving lower due to gravity, or moving higher due to propulsion - but it isn’t real flying, because they don’t have the proper amount of wingspace/size to have the needed aerodynamics to maintain lift, (otherwise planes would be perfectly symmetrical horizontally. (Remember gravity is key….)….
@18:09 Thanks to whoever approved that sequence, @Southwest seeing that Camera inspection operator inspires confidence in aviation either him or seeing it or both
Wow who would ever dream a small cork could cause a fatal crash Thats pretty crazy
There have been so few large bad plane crashes , thank God . But I’m scared it will happen ! Thanks !!
It's sad that every heavy loss of life in aviation changes will soon be made after not before and I'm glad there are survivors also may the victims rest in peace 🙏🏻❤
becuase the cause of the accidents were unknown of previously.
Well...yeah, that's kind of the way of it. It's not because anyone _wants_ it that way, particularly, or even that anyone _likes it_ being that way. It is that way more often just because the human imagination tends to be more limited than the Demon Murphy's tends to be.
Look at it from a positive side, atleast it makes for good disaster tv shows. I love this stuff. Hope to see many more documentaries like this in the future.
This tends to be much more true in the U.S. than in other countries such as Japan and Europe. As the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated, Americans will often defy being told what to do, even if it will save lives. This attitude both permeates American culture, including business culture, and it conveniently dovetails with the profit motive.
For example, the EU has a very strong regulatory regime intended to protect people and society, even at great cost to business. Regulations and commercial standards are rigorously developed, often taking years. In the U.S., we default to “tombstone technology” and “tombstone policy,” meaning that neither the aviation technology nor the regulations will change until actual deaths force the issue. This has often placed Americans in a tacit role of being aviation guinea pigs.
Aviation expert, John Nance, referred to it as “tombstone technology”.
What's really sad is these great actors will never receive an Oscar for their brilliant work.
Though the actual pilots of the Alaska Airlines Crash did receive an award posthumously.
100% would rather watch a full episode rather than 5-20 minutes of summary.
Yes, I often WONDER about these flaws.
I’d like to take this moment to thank all the actors who played the parts of crews and passengers for giving their lives so that we could watch realistic re-enactments of crashes. I hope their loved ones were well compensated. RIP actors and actresses. You’re all Oscar worthy.
Thanks to this channel for always creating the best content as always! ❤️❤️❤️✈️
If other pilots watched that plane crash...I'm sure the passengers of those planes saw that crash as well. How horrifying.
Ironic story on the Swiss Air disaster: a New York broker who worked 16 hours a day to be able to retire at 40 y/o was on the flight to visit his parents in Switzerland before enjoying his retirement which is he never was able to
42:03: 3 serious problems related to rudder's dual servo valves flaw, leading to 2 deadly accidents: an "incredible safety history" indeed! Not to mention the 2 crashes due to a mindblowing flaw on the 737Max! I presume it's an old documentary but even though ... Accidents can occur of course but these ones are all due to the aircraft's design, not to any pilot error. Any other aircraft than Boeing would have been killed and removed from service once and for all. Guess what: even the Max is flying again, this is beyond comprehension ...
Just imagine if this had concerned an Airbus or an Embraer for instance, what do you think it would have happened? The aircraft would have been banned from the USA and, step by step, the manufacturer might have gone bankruptcy ... All this sucks.
You are 100 percent correct, and Boeing gets a slap on the wrist and a fine that to them ment nothing. They don't even have the consideration to contact the families and apologize, cuz that would mean they are admitting to wrong doing. In a documentary I saw a engineer working on the Maxx asked in an email if another coworker would put his family on the Maxx? The engineer said he wouldn't. That tells alot about this plane and the company that pushed it thru knowing its flaws. They should be ashamed of themselves. So sorry to the families that lost their loved ones on all these flights.
Same thing happens in the car industry. Dieselgate and VW, is proof of that. GM has been caught doing the same, but because it's a U.S company, it was more or less thrown under the rug.
@@kathymcmahon5308 the only bad thing Boeing did was not to inform the airlines about MCAS but even then the dumb 3rd world pilots should have prevented the crashes by treating the problem as a runaway trim add this with faulty maintenance and you get a crash. Why do you think there were no incidents in Europe and North America? You should listen to Greg Feiths podcast (the investigator in this video) and will explain to you what happened in that Liob Air accident.
B737-800 crashed again like the Max and we shall hear what the investigation says, if it is he plane then I don't think Boeing will be able to weather this storm
I've finally made up my mind to watch this 🗣
i made up my mine not to fly..
If a police officer can be charged discharging his weapon in the line of duty, then crew, managers and corporate leaders should be similarly accountable when they make mistakes like this. The difference is that an officer has a split second to make a life or death decision. These corporate leaders, managers, supervisors and mechanics had weeks, months or maybe even years to make the same decisions over and over again. Yet, I never see any of these people put on trial for negligent homicide. The most recent case was Boeing with the Max 8. Everyone involved in that cover-up should be on trial facing charges of negligent homicide.
Trust me my friend..karma comes for everyone. These high level executives do no sleep well at night. The mechanics also have to drink themselves to sleep. They know blood is on their hands. Max 8 is the worst plane ever, lots of good people died for nothing. The most terrifying experience ever. I own a fleet of semi tractors and I pay my mechanics top dollar to ensure every truck is safe for the road. Stay safe out there. Peace and Love
One mechanic who worked for Japan Airlines committed suicide after hearing the plane had crashed.
It’s all in the $$$$$
I love how he say the word "Schedule" lol

Scheduled?
@@Powerranger-le4up shed-dule that's what it sounds like
That's British English. American English pronounces "sch" like a k. Another British pronounciation that gets me is how they say aluminium as " al-oo-min-i-um".
There's a saying that every crash improves air travel safety because a mechanical problem or procedural error is identified and corrected across the industry. That's of little comfort to the relatives of the test victims who gave their lives to bring those same problems to light.
My god, the music is on point!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the elevators were mainly in control of pitch and the movement of the whole horizontal stabilizers was just for trim. This TV show implied that the H stabilizer as a whole was used for pitch.
for some reason the alaska flight has stuck with me
it has a small tragic place in my heart
Watching this doesn't make flying more appealing to me but less. So many parts and just one needs to fail. Amazing that there aren't more crashes.

My dad was management for maintenance of a defunct airline for 30 years. He ran a tight ship.
Same here my dad was a former Boeing maintenance supervisor and he always double checked his workers work and if he saw them not following Boeing repair manuals he used to write them up and if they continued he had them fired as he refused to have any passengers flying planes that he was responsible for if it wasn’t up to his standard of safety

Can people or someone invent a special large plane parachute which can be fitted or attached to planes for emergency cases in the aviation industry??

Well, now that I have decided I am never ever flying anywhere EVER again (no way, no how, not not NOT) I can watch these programs somewhat calmly to pass the time. No problem!
You might as well never drive or take a taxi to get anywhere, because you are more likely to lose your life on a road accident than in the air. Airplanes are the safest means of transport.
Nice rudder check with a flashlight 🙄
At some point I began to wonder why planes don’t use both hydraulics and radio controlled (like Bluetooth) fly by wire, in which there is a transceiver installed on the power unit which can also send it commands. This way there is redundancy. If there is a loss of hydraulic pressure the fly-by-wire transceiver can still provide commands to the motors or the servos that control different parts of the plane’s steering system.
Wires are much weaker compared to hydraulics

Hello, Wonder
I like your videos, especially on Mayday serial. But, i can't access the Mayday season 4 videos because they are unavailable in my country (Indonesia). I hope you solve that so the plane enthusiasts from Indonesia are able to see your Mayday season videos.
Thank you.
Same, up from season 3 it isnt available in indonesia since nat geo also did that.
It's high time they install a fail-safe system for every single passenger on these airplanes ✈. For instance, fighter pilots have it by using a parachute. When the shuttle program started, they also had parachutes at the very start but for some reason, they decided to take that brilliant system out (because of money and like they said, the shuttle was a very expensive machinery to fly. The safety regime made it so expensive) but when Challenger exploded, they really regretted that especially because this teacher was on board + it was broadcast live in many many countries. Why can't we put a fail-safe system on airplanes. Money 💰??? Totally unacceptable !!!
They don't even have money to pay the maintenance crews to do additional checks and increase the inspection time. Your expectations are extremely high. Unfortunately the only fail-safe systems we have are get our own private jet and wear a parachute or take a train or a ship instead of a plane.
Parachutes are heavy and expensive. Not every passenger will be able to use them as well as some passenger will try to jump out of the front door, getting sucked up by a engine.
I just had this conversation, Grease works for everything! Scapes burns parts ec…
Umm… doing a C check over night? Doesn’t that take at least week? Dont you have to remove the engines??
Might be B but yes odd
I do enjoy the narration- "it was clear that this was the issue". A 60 minute show later..
Thanks Covid!! Due to binge watching air crash investigation, mayday, seconds from disaster, why planes crash and the videos here during lockdown - even if we are ever allowed to fly anywhere again I won’t be 😱😂
Tombstone Technology 💔
I'm not a pilot, but watching these videos, dodgy maintenance causing massive accidents, i think I will never fly again, too risky
With the Swiss Air story the narrator says that "It [the shiny material that covered insulation] had somehow passed the industry's flammability tests." I wonder if the details are lost in the mists of time? Or is there more to this story?
I seen this one!
I was on the Southwest Airlines going to Las Vegas from Detroit Metropolitan Airport back in the mid 70's to visit my aunt and uncle nice comfy flight no problems great food nice stewards and friendly pilots z I also flew on Northwest , AA , TWA , United Airlines last time I went there was in 11-2-16-1987 great trip don't remember what company Airline came home to Detroit Metropolitan Airport in a snow storm safely well done pilots
At10:00 am I had a half hour wait at DFW Airport wow hot then 85 degrees I was dressed for Michigan winter weather back in 11-2-1987
Just imagine being the pilot’s witnessing the Alaskan Airlines situation knowing it could have been them
I watched all the episodes. What do I do now?
4:54/5:55 the guy that says 'he's down', you can sort of hear sadness in his voice, whilst trying to remain professional ig its the tiny details ig lol
I watch too much Mayday...during the ASA portion when they were showing the maintenance, I thought "wait a minute, that's from the Alaska episode!!"
The pilot who said, “I think they would have rather had the plane than me.”
anyone knows where can i watch the eastwind 517?
Pilots are heroes....
Shout out to the Japanese jumbo crew, they gave it their all
