- April 7th, 1994, a Federal Express DC-10 freighter was getting ready to leave the headquarters in Memphis. Unbeknownst to the pilots, Colloway a flight engineer had a bone to pick and was scheduled for disciplinary hearings the following day.
Shortly after takeoff, Colloway removed weapons from this case that he carefully selected. He had a plan and it involved killing three men and crashing the plane and wanted everything to look like an accident. Not long later, he attacked and inflicted grave injuries before the pilot started to fight back. The plane was put into a dive and then went through incredible gyrations as the co-pilot was immobilised by brain damage. The seriously injured co-pilot managed to miraculously land the plane.

@@Anonymous______________ ok
Any pilot who can fly a DC-10 like an F-16--even after suffering serious injuries--clearly has the right stuff.
It’s that adrenaline making people go ultra-instinct
Incredible!
I concur, Michael - these men would clearly love to be able to fly again, Calloway took that from them - he failed massively because he did not realize these three had strength than he thought. However, I believe that Our Lord Jesus gave the heroic trio extra to get back to Memphis. Yes, that plane was put through paces it was not meant to do, a Holy Hand guided them, guarded the crew, kept Calloway restrained. I pray they have overcome the resulting after effects of those horrific injuries. God will be with them always.
@@Calliope0954God could've crushed Calloway before any of this happened
He deserves to fly anything
These pilots are real legends. Haven't heard this kind of flying in the history of mankind. These guys needs a statue in my opinion. Imagine how many lives they saved on the ground.
search for attempted plane bombing in Brasilia on RUclips, you'll find something like that where the pilot saved everyone from an attempted terrorist act similar to what years later It would happen in New York. Fortunately in the case of Brazil, the pilot managed to avoid making the plane rotate through 360°, which is incredible for the dimensions of the plane that carried more than 100 people
They can Fly me anytime ‼️‼️‼️
True
there was no passengers in the flight
@@cleitonbatista6214 Or JAL123. Or that one United flight that lost all control surfaces and went down on short final when it stalled.
The flight crew are absolutely BADASS! These guys overcame extreme adversity, to not just save the plane, but to a much higher importance...to save each other's lives!! As a retired Combat veteran, I hold much respect for these three aviation professionals!
I think this is the best episode of Mayday they ever produced. An incredible story, full of harrowing danger, yet no one dies so there’s a real sense of victory to the ending of the story. The reenactment was very well done, and you really feel like you’re there with the pilots in their desperate battle for survival. These pilots were true heroes, and deserved every bit of that gold metal for heroism. One can’t help but feel deeply for the pilots having their careers ended through this. It’s so heartbreaking, Dave Saunders’ sad words at the end: “I miss it very much.” 😢
This is probably the most physical reenactment I've ever seen; the actors really had me at the edge of my seat. 👏
The suspense!! ❤
I knew the daughter of the the head mechanic at FedEx. Years later she knew EXACTLY what plane I was asking her about. Her father talked about it a lot.
Apparently it took over a million dollars of repairs to get it air worthy again.
They ended up converting it to a 2 seater (no flight engineer required).
The counter weights in the tail had broken off in the tail, damaging the aircraft skin. Rivets popped off too.
Plus there was blood EVERYWHERE. Ceiling, floor, under the floor, walls, in instruments (soaked thru), and it contaminated everything.
Yep. Plane still flies too.
The crew that fought back are beyond amazing, and saved many lives that day.
FedEx basically gave them tenure and jobs on the ground for life. They can’t fly due to the head trauma (one can fly a Cessna), but they are teachers and trainers.
After 9/11, the attacker is NEVER getting out of jail. Even Obama refused his pardon request.
Tbh attacker deserved sentence to death, dunno why they didn't do that
@@hariranormal5584 maybe because thats what he wanted, so they left him to rot.
He had the nerve to ask for a pardon?
I’m glad obama didn’t pardon him. Shocked, but glad. I wonder why they didn’t just scrap the aircraft with all that mess and money to repair it.
@@miriamsamaniego3335
Repairs were cheaper than buying a new or used plane.
This is the most incredible flying I have ever seen outside a military aircraft. This pilot has skills, and this plane was built to last. This is hands down my favorite episode ever.
AGREED !!!
ME THREE
You know not of what you speak...
@@cedarwest37 Why do people like you comment? Are you an attention starved troll? Go away.
Was thinking the same thing myself. Absolutely touching episode and sad to see they where never able to fly there plane again but happy they are alive and with there family so that's the most important part. Absolute heros they are, very well skilled and may god watch over them 🙏
The fact that Tucker pushed a DC-10, one of the most defective and accident prone aircraft of all time to near supersonic speeds to the point of the plane nearly ripping apart and saving the plane at the last minute is honestly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen a pilot do in any plane, other than Sully’s amazing landing on the Hudson.
(I do wanna state that the DC-10 isn’t the worst plane ever. It’s a good machine that has proven its worth! But it has a very infamous history that sadly will always be stuck with it. Even after it has redeemed itself more than once like in this video.)
uh... have you not seen the accidents the 747 has been involved in, buddy?
also, I'm pretty sure it was an MD-11
@@GiordanDiodato mate, I think you need to watch the video and read the description, as it literally says it’s was a DC-10. Plus, while the 747 has had its fair share of cool stories, it is not the subject of this video.
@@Cyber_Horse_Studios87 my personal choice were the Gimli glide and the late pilots of the JAL airlines 123 who tried their best to save their plane without any tail
these guys are definitely new additions to the list of coolest pilots for me
The 747 has a good safety record the most successful in history the most flight hours of any plane ever built
@@newzealandhoris4208 very true. Frankly it’s one of the most robust planes ever made. While the DC-10 is pretty much the complete opposite.
My heart broke when he said at the end "I miss it very much"
Rot in prison Calloway. You wanted to leave your family financially we off by leaving three other families in the same mess
That line was very sincere and from the heart. I know what he is talking about, and the line really hit home. Cheers.
And he put other black people in danger 😡 SHAME on him no no men not women
He'll never get out of prison. There is no parole in the Fed penal system.
@@adotintheshark4848 and thank god that it doesn't have one
It's even more heartbreaking when you realize in the beginning he said "You never know when you are going to get another chance" when asked if he wanted to fly the plane.
Props to the people that built that plane. That thing performed in ways it was never intended. Sturdy.
FedEx retired their last one this year.
The MD10 is/was a flying tank.
It is the Ford Crown Victoria of the skies.
The exact airframe involved in this incident is still operating to this day; N306FE, an MD-10.
@@charlesnicholson7539 what a amazing plane
You know that demons were involved in this.
Probably one of the most brutal episodes and events out of the entire Mayday series. Hats off to the 3 pilots that were able to restrain the co-worker and land the plane even after sustaining major injuries.
Too bad they could not have tied cal up with their neckties or such, shirt anything.out of Desperation comes invention. Combat.
@@sharoncassell9358 The ties may be breakaways - but even if they had been able to tie his hands, someone that enraged would have been easily able to break out of it.
@@sharoncassell9358I mean the whole time they were fighting on a plane moving in different directions so it would’ve probably not been the easiest
I feel so bad for these brave men who were robbed of their careers.🤕 It’s amazing that they were able to fight as much as they did with their injuries.
I've watched so many documentaries about this incident and it still fascinates me every time. It could honestly be a blockbuster film with no adjustments to the story.
It was like watching a movie - I was on the edge of my couch about ready to have a heart attack!
This should Definitely be a movie on the big screen!
Hollyweird wouldn't touch it, unless they make the attacker white, and the crew, or at least some of the crew, black, 😂 lol.

@@kevinmalone3210 🤣🤣 so true ! The true story doesn't fit well with the "progressive" narrative !
This man not only attempted to take their lives, and possibly others on the ground, he took their livelihoods, and their passion. Most pilots don’t just retire when they meet the age requirements, they instruct, teach within their companies, or some go back to corporate. This isn’t just a career for them, it is their passion.

This "man" is no man but a child.

That DC-10, N306FE, is still making flights for fedex to this day. What a machine.
Took many lives though
@@Mikeya85 That must me a historical experience
Incredible that it didn't sustaine unrepairable damage here.
@@LichaelMewisit's incredible that the flight crew's mental and physical well-being didn't sustain irreparable damage.
I hope they give the whole airplane an NDI. The stresses imposed on the airframe were beyond design parameters.
Right now there’s actually a major petition for FedEx to preserve the recently retired DC-10 involved in this incident, tail number N306FE. Let’s all pitch in and help keep this piece of aviation history alive and not share the fate of the Gimli Glider!

Brave men to be sure. What a story. Thank goodness they all survived.
The plane came very close to Mach 1 breaking the sound barrier. Flying this DC 10 like a fighter jet took an incredible amount of skill. Kudos to the crew!
The airspeed indicator was pinned at Mach .87 it's not inconceivable that they could've been going a lot faster.
No they couldnt, the dc 10 is a subsonic plane. If it got closer to the mach 1 the wings will break off the plane. It was amazing they didn't break off in 0.87 mach. Sub sonic planes can't go supersonic they just cant handle the stress
@@-JG-339 thats...not how that works, at all
@@starrynights467 i might have overdramatized it a little bit. But the plane will come a part. It simply can't handle the stress near mach 1. You can take flight Lauda Air Flight 004 accident. Its a good exmple to what happens to a subsonic plane when it gets near mach 1.
@@-JG-339 There's a DC-8 that begs to disagree.
Sad that those pilots couldn't get re-certified to fly, since they enjoyed it so much. They truly deserved the award they received for heroism (highest award that can be given to a civilian aviator). Also, that airplane is a hero in this story, too...it was definitely put through the wringer and came out on the other end like a champ (and as of September 2021, is still in service for FedEx, according to Wikipedia).
So 👍
Yes the plane is still active
The pilots survived but suffered life changing injuries, including brain injuries. Do you really want someone with brain damage flying a passenger jet? Don't make it seem like it was the incident itself that blackballed them from piloting again.
@@apointtomake1517 I think you're misunderstanding the comment.
This really makes sad reading for sure.
Very sad that the crew were not re-certified to fly due to injuries sustained.
They are still heroes and hope the company looks after them very well.

This story really touched me . The pilots we're really commandos . Fighting armed guy with plane technics was so awesome.
Man it’s good that the pilot had combat training as well. Had that been the original crew the would have been a different ending. A life saving coincidence.
Yes, the flight the attacker wanted to be on, had a woman pilot, so
I'd give the crew "no chance." You needed 2 strong heavy men to
subdue the man, and still it could have went the other way.
@@grantp4022 Right!
Karma said, "Not today."
@@grantp4022 not just 2 men. They had to rotate to get 3rd guy in to subdue him. He was a navy man top of his shape and trained in martial arts. He probably would have won if the pilot didn't start doing acrobatics.
They need to change the security rules involving the flight crew. No more free rides at the last minute, and especially, not in the cockpit. They need to be subjected to proper security checks as well. And double checks for maximum safety of the filght crew.

@@SIM2014 Roger THAT!
Pilots lose their medicals all the time, sadly. I lost mine 20 years ago and it still hurts. These guys put everything on the line.
@@dwightmansburden7722 Whether it happens all the time or not is irrelevant. This happened because a horrible person did it on purpose and it is sad.
That selfish person destroyed the careers of three brave, amazing men. And he diminished their health for the rest of their lives. I’m glad he got life with no chance of parole. He could’ve murdered hundreds of people on the ground.
I hope fedex changed their policy about allowing employees to hitch rides. And I hope they now use secure cockpit doors. The reason the carnage on 9-11-01 happened is because airlines and plane manufacturers fought for decades against installing secure cockpit doors citing cost. Compare the minuscule amount of money it would have cost to install secure cockpit doors to the $7 trillion we’ve spent on wars, a million people killed, the elimination of many freedoms we once had and the trillions in loses in the economy. Corporate greed caused the 9-11 attacks. If the planes that were used as weapons had secure cockpit doors there wouldn’t have been a 9/11 attack.
And sadly, not one executive in aircraft manufacturing or the airlines went to jail for their reckless disregard for safety or human life.
I worked for Boeing prior to 9/11 and I constantly implored they install secure cockpit doors to no avail. They chose money over human life and country.
It’s sad that on the upcoming 20th anniversary of that day that no one will mention the true reason why the attacks were so easily accomplished. No one in government or the media will mention the gross negligence of not having secure cockpit doors.

This is actually an amazing real life event. The doco itself better than a movie, but this story deserved to be made into a bloody good movie. It is sad the three fellas cannot fly anymore, but important thing is that they fought back and managed save everybody in the process. I would imagine they were generously compensated for what they managed to avoid and achieved through their amazing feat of courage. Only sad thing is that they cannot do what they love anymore, but I'm sure there is much more to life than being able to fly a plane.
It would never get made into a movie..it doesn't fit the leftist narrative..if the attacker were White and the pilots black, everyone would know about this, statues would be made etc

Have to give props to the actors who were used for this, as well as the people who tied down those pallets
The people who tied down the pallets weren't actors. That footage was from actual Fed Ex employees. It was spliced in the video.
@@kevinmalone3210 actually those pallets are latched to the floor on sturdy rails with metallic hooks (at least two per pallet, depending on ULD footprint), and those nets are also designed to hold up to 3G forces, or more. I did load master courses and practiced and later went into maintenance. For me is astonishing the 140 degrees roll, which in a modern Airbus is impossible due to the way the airplane is designed to filter these type of movements.
Those pallets are secured on a rail system with a number of hooks. They absolutely will not shift when secured properly. If they shift, or if they're rearranged (as happened in another crash, where the weight and balance weren't redone) it'll have devastating impact on weight and balance, possibly putting it at an irrecoverable, uncontrolled nose up or nose down.
I am always amazed by the actors in these films. If I didn't know they were actors, I would swear I was watching the real events!

True story... I was jumpseating on FEDEX 10 years ago, and it was first time on a DC10 (MD10), so I asked the captain if I could ride up front for a better view of the action.
He said "We will discuss it later..."
When I get out to the jet 30 minutes later, the FO meets me at the door and says "Captain wants you outside of the flight deck..." then he quietly mentioned "He knew the guys Auburn Calloway attacked."

Wow i cant believe they flew a DC10 like a fighter jet even with those injuries. That plane was durable and the pilot were skilled.
It's a testament to how our military pilots were trained back in the day. Even severely injured, they could still fight and fly.
It's durable in some cases and super fragile in others. Flight 232's DC-10 crashed because of a microscopic defect invisible to the naked eye in the aircraft aluminum. And yet here, the hydraulics just dgaf. That inconsistency is the reason DC-10s aren't used for passengers anymore.
@@slook7094
Re: United flight 232 - The microscopic defect was in one of the fan blades of the General Electric powerplant (engine) at the time of manufacture and grew over time with use. The powerplant was manufactured separately by GE and had nothing to do with the manufacture of the airframe by McDonnell Douglas. More rigorous inspections by United AL might have detected it.
God drove that plane🙌✈
@@sandiegodreamhome Actually, the defect was in the fan disk which is the central hub that the blades are attached to. It is a forging made out of Titanium and quite large for a Titanium piece. If the defect had just been in one blade the aircraft probably would have survived the failure without too much problem.
Fantastic story! What inner resolve and strength those 3 men had shown. Thankfully, the other crew exceeded their flying time by ONE MINUTE!! Or surely he would have overpowered them and successfully crashed the aircraft. Amazing!!

DC-10: A very problematic plane with over 50 accidents and incidents on record.
Also DC-10: Oh you need me to act like a fighter jet? I got you boss.
Bless this flight crew and that plane.
I was thinking this exact thing. The DC-10 is responsible for over 1200 deaths, but this particular 10 was build like Timex.
@@c.w.k.n.5117 They got better. Perhaps this was one of the later ones.
@@twistedyogert yes, DC-10-10 had constructional problems. Their plane was a DC-10-30
Flight 232 is the reason the DC-10 is no longer used for passenger flights. It's almost entirely used for cargo instead. The fact that the hydraulics held up under this kind of stress is incredible.
@@slook7094 Not really. It was the fact that the aviation market was moving towards more capable and fuel-efficient twinjets, helped by the advancements in engineering and technology. The DC-10, along with the other original widebody airliners, still served in the 90s and early 2000s, but are getting older and are gradually phased out. Northwest Airlines was the last time the DC-10 served as a passenger airliner in any major airlines back in 2007, and Biman Bangladesh was the last scheduled passenger flight operated by the DC-10, flown last February of 2014.
Although the DC-10s reputation is less than impressive, its role as a passenger airliner ended due to changing circumstances in the aviation industry.
Just my two cents.
It is incredible how much strength & conviction all four men had. To see Cromwell's anger be so powerful as to fend off three other men was terrifying. All four having to end their flying careers was such a waste of skill & experience, too. I am proud of how the crew managed to keep control of the plane afterall, possibly saving others.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this episode before! That is incredible flying and maneuvering, especially for a DC-10? Beyond impressed.
The hijacker is just insane. He had to change his will, and 'conviniently' jumpseat on the flight that crashed? Even if he did successfully crash the plane, this would have never worked. The insurance would have definitly been declined.
Fact:FedEx 705 and airfrance 8969 hijack inspired 911
Probably not declined even when investigated
@@surfside75 You don't know insurance companies do you? They will fight it tooth and nail until they are forced to pay any questionable insurance claim.
He's a totaL idiot. He never would have gotten a dime to his wife and kids. Totally pointless.
Yeah, he was depending on people to keep his secret ...
I love the way the Pilots fought for their lives and didn’t give up ( Thank God )
Omg I’m so glad to hear these remarkable pilots are alive and doing well. They are true heroes. 👍🏻♥️
Incredible piloting skill, the pilots were able to fly a commercial plane almost like a fighter jet while having otherwise fatal head injury.
And also the plane didn't break apart mid flight...

Wow those poor pilots were really put through it! What a sad story.
I was so amazed at the fact that even after getting injured the pilot could fly and land the plane as easy as as a toy plane in a kids hand.
Yeah it was
Yes! It's amazing what people can do when adrenaline and a will to live combine 👍
The plane holding up way past what's it's design limits is to me the most impressive part of this story.
The crew were amazing. But if that plane wasn't 100% perfect. It wouldn't matter how well the crew did.
This is an amazing story! I know what it’s like to fight for my life, and it’s crazy! It’s amazing that the pilots survived Colloway’s attack!
Just think of the hundreds of people who've received their packages blissfully unaware of the drama their packages went through.
Good thing package tracking apps weren't a thing back then. "Why is my package still in Memphis?"
I would hope that a ton of blood didn't get on any of them.
Probably a few things got broken.
I'd fly with these gentlemen anywhere, anytime! Salute! Prayers for the families.
Except for that black dude.

In the last 2weeks I have been binging on flight videos. To the point that I started to worry that my depression was taking me down a rabbit hole. It turns out that I am not the only one .Anyway these stories can be horrific,sad and yet uplifting. You appreciated everyday life and realize that things are not as bad as I make me feel. This particular story has got to be the most riveting and white knuckled video I have ever seen. Thank you for letting folks know about this story .God Bless all.
That’s weird I go down rabbit holes sometimes. I never thought it’s cuz of depression

What an amazing story of these pilots and their heroism. They are legends and probably saved a lot of lives as no one knows where that guy would have flown that plane.
I've read Dave Hirschman's book about this and I'd like to add that one of the real, unsung heroes of this was the captain of the previous day's flight. Calloway tried to get him to write the times down so that it appeared they were in their duty hours, but the captain refused, and wrote them down exactly as they were. Calloway was going to be the engineer on that flight, with the captain being mid-sized and a petite woman first officer. They would have been much easier to take down.
They'd be dead.
@@Vespyr_ And by virtue of not being on the plane, Dave, Jim, and Andy would have still flown for a while, but with whom? FedEx would have likely taken million-dollar losses afterwards and then gone into bankruptcy.
This was a demonic human
@@ivantheteribul One plane crash would not have put FedEx into bankruptcy.
@@werearethedreamteam3724 Ya don't know what the dude went through. Please don't reply. Please just consider the fact the video didn't tell his story.
Good thing the pilot and co pilot were ex Navy, they fought. Good for them!
I remember when this happened but this episode is so stunning in retelling their story. I knew it was bad, but not this brutal, nor do I remember hearing anything on the news about how incredibly skilled these men are
I'm genuinely pleased that the crew survived and landed the plane safely.
Wow this was well done. My heart rate is still going like crazy. I don’t know how this ended up in my feed but sure happy it did. New subscriber with notifications set to all. God bless that crew. I hope FedEx is taking care of them. They earned much more than workmen’s compensation. Saved the airplane, cargo and who knows how much more. Great episode. Thanks.
And the cargo was likely worth several $Million dollars as FedEx would ship a lot of High Tech equipment back and forth to San Jose. And this was during a time when we still manufactured tech equipment in the states.
They shoukd deserve medals and a statue of there own
Me too, I just happened upon this video and subscribed. Wow, such an amazing story.
The flight crew did an amazing job after all of them were severely injured, flying the plane, and being able to get that psycho under control.
This is the most horrifying yet inspirational story I can ever remember seeing. This crew went way above the call of duty, and it took a lot of courage. I'm glad they are ok. But I feel badly that they can't fly anymore.
WOW !! The recreators (actors) make this documentary edge-of-the seat intense.
That instructor pilot is the man for treating that plane like a toy.
I never imagined that they could go supersonic.
I cannot believe that the plane didn’t rip apart when he pulled out of that dive 😳
Light touch.
@@twistedyogert DC-8 was the first ever passenger plane to reach supersonic speed. So there is nothing unusual in DC10's ability to reach supersonic speed
Not to complain, but
"We want armed intervention"
The 'armed intervention':
One fireman that doesn't even have handcuffs
The rest of the guys could not get up the slippery slide….because it’s slippery by design (due to talcum powder) so it can allow for quick escapes.
They ended up stabbing the slide flat and getting ladders.
That one guy was smaller and nimbler so was able to be pulled up by the injured pilot.
@@equarg Yeah, and where are the cops. How are they armed? He going to brain him with an axe?
That might workout actually.
That’s what I said on the Wonder channel 😤
This guy was demonic controlled.
You forgot: Fireman who brought his own ladder. Modern teams would have been waiting on the top of mobile stairs as it was driven to the aircraft the second it stopped. Only then would the F-16 or F-22 be called off.
These Pilots are heroes.Inspite of extreme injuries they suffered from that insane man they still were able to subdued him. Thank God .
May God bless them forever and their family
An unbelievable video and Kudos to the pilots. DEFINETLY a great surgeon also.
These men were totally amazing! Their will to live was awesome! The fourth hero that day was that DC 10! None would have made it had the aircraft not withstood the beating it took. What a story!
So on point! I too was thinking that their will to live was the main weapon.Though the jump seater's will to die was strong too ...terrifyin, how human mind/emotions work 😖😖😖
They could make a movie out if it, but the perp will be made into a white guy, with one or more members of the crew being black, Chinese, or what have you, as long as it's another minority.
I once heard of a black male who hit a white guy in the head with a hammer in the motor pool. I was in a mechanized unit.
I could never hit someone in the head with a hammer under normal circumstances.

This made me cry out of sorrow and pride. What men they are. Rare breed. Lastly my father was that breed of man. I miss him and worship him to the end of time
This is the most stressful episode I have ever watched!!
I was just thinking the same thing...
Same here
Without a doubt.....
I felt that way too
Me too. It is close to a gore !
These 3 guys are true heroes......the fortitude it took to keep that plane in the air and land safely are beyond amazing!
As a former / retired "Rosenbalm" DC-8 captain, my hat goes off to the heroism of the crew. I remember the event very well.
That was the best crazy flying fight to the death I think is better than any movie ever will be. Great job to the good guys for making it, those are some awful injuries. Nothing but respect.
If a real Hollywood movie was made about this, it could be pretty good. They would just change the race of the perp, make him white, with one of the crew being black for political correctness.
@@kevinmalone3210 that would be disappointing. It’s important to remember history as it is, not as revised by future generations.
It's so crazy because I can relate to Jim Tucker a little bit. I always wanted to be a naval aviator and be a commercial pilot after I retired from the Navy. However, I had a brain aneurysm when I was in middle school, and a year after the surgery, I started having seizures. I was automatically disqualified. I was heartbroken. Jim had an amazing career, and it ended in such a horrific way. I can't even imagine how heartbroken he was.
In an instant, our lives can change.
*(My grandfather used to be an airforce pilot for the USSR lol. He flew Mig-17, and after he retired, he flew TU-154. In my opinion, pilots are true heroes.)*
Good luck to anyone who's trying to become a pilot. I hope you'll have a wonderful time being an aviator!

Fighter pilots are resilient, they're not born that way but they're rather hammered into (pun intended) massive respect
It is hard to fathom how evil someone can be…taking advantage of trust and good will. What a pig. Just a monster. Wow, he was a a martial arts expert. He misused every talent and opportunity he had to be a good person, and didn’t care about anyone. He sure picked the wrong guys! Super human feats by these heros.
The pig Calloway would never have been a pilot without affirmative action .
Dehumanization never helps.
Hats off to them for restraint, if I was connecting with that hammer I wouldn’t have stopped till he was a vegetable
I read he is still in prison now and should remain there the rest of his life. I guess his plan didn't work out too well!
i'm learning from youtube videos that when people in reality are shot - they don't just fall down - and when you clobber someone - they don't just topple over - tv and movies were lying to us all these years
@@johneyon5257 adrenaline rush!
@@DanielMartinez-iw7pl - good point - but it's possible to perform such actions without adrenaline - bullet impacts are focused and so won't necessarily have the force to knock someone off their feet - i recall the story of the Indian soldier Subedar Yadav (Kargil War - India vs Pakistan - 1999) - who survived a number of bullet wounds (some claim over a dozen but it is not known for sure) as he neutralized Pakistani bunker by himself - (yeah - that wasn't an good example - it was almost certainly adrenaline induced)
@@johneyon5257 There's a police officer in a Chicago suburb somewhere who told his story about why he carries 140 rounds on the job now. He was in a shootout with somebody and ended up hitting the guy with something like sixteen shots (as well as being shot several times and gravely wounded himself). Something like eight of the wounds he inflicted on the other guy were supposed to have been fatal, but they both made it to the hospital. One medical crew stabilized the officer while another tried to save the guy he shot. They kept on transfusing blood into the guy and the ER doc said, "We might as well stop. It's all just ending up on the floor anyway. Why did that cop have to shoot him so many times?"
If I had been there, I would have demanded that that ER doc see me out in the hallway, and he and I would have had a very voluble, mostly one-sided "conversation," and I may have even used not a few four-letter words (which, normally, is not a way I'm prone to express myself), and I would have said, "Because that's how many times it took for him to stay alive when the other guy was shooting at HIM, you Dumb@$$!"
Absoulutly amazing what they did. If this hav'nt been made into a movie, it should be.
who knew that delivering the mail could be so dangerous.
the engineer was so brave to hold the spare gun
Yes
If he was holding the spare gun then who was holding the other one??
I think Mayday should do special printings of their episodes autographed by survivors and hero's for charity ... these guys and the gimley guys I want on my wall
fully agree!
9:52 the flight engineer's head is bloody before he is ever attacked LOL It's an amazing story and a very touching episode. These men are heroes.
I noticed that, too. My heart goes out to these men, especially because they can no longer do what they love, which is flying, and I am grateful for their bravery and survival.
Came looking for this comment. The editor done fucked up 😆
Wow, this is an incredible story of bravery, flying skills, fast thinking, etc. I'm glad they made it.
Incredible story. I knew about it but never had imagined in such horror . Outstanding pilots and legendary Douglas aircraft strength. I flew DC3’s and sixes and can vouch for their indestructible build. I”ll never forget this story . Kudos to the crew !
Oh, so Calloway cares about his children and thought that having a murdering sociopath for a father would be good for them.
Psychopathy knows no bounds.
he did what he had to so he could survive to GET back home to his family
@@kj4ilk did you see the video? He would not get back home, he would suicide himself in a way that seemed like an accident so his family could get 2million dollars of life insurance.
@@joaomarcelo7708 Yeah, him getting killed, in a "accident", is the point of his ex-wife getting life insurance.
He planned on his family never finding out. That's why he tried to turn off the voice recorder.
WOW!!!! Favorite episode hands down!!! The courage of those three men the flying skills of the two pilots. It's a real damn shame they couldn't fly again.😢
As an aviation student , salute to those pilots such a hero.
“Get your foot off! You’re hurting me!” Poor guy
"I can't breathe" - SMH!
At this point he should've bashed the attacker's face in with the hammer.
He had some nerve complaining.
@@neil1030 he was preparing a "discrimination" lawsuit, LOL!
@@gorylatko as a black person, i confirm this is funny
60 seconds of flight time 24 hours prior determined the entire outcome of this.
Had the original crew not exceed that limit, he would have been able to do it.
What the aftermath of it would have been, we’ll thankfully never know. But that just shows how close we come on a daily baisis
all thanks to radiation measurements.... now if only they did this properly in Chernobyl it would still be not great, but not terrible either
This story was SO GOOD! It was so interesting. I hadn't heard about this incident when it happened. Excellently put together.
This is still my favourite Mayday episode
This aircraft (N306FE) is still flying to this day. Talk about a tough bird.
"I can't breathe!" Really? Did he actually say that?🤦♂️
ha ha ha ! yes !
I can't Breeve
We have Sully: Miracle on the Hudson for Captain Sully but what about this? It's storyline holds an immense potential to be a Blockbuster just not in US but all over the world!!
