      @@Col92019 I was in considerable more danger driving to and from the airport! In well over 22,000 flight hours I never had any life threatening emergencies. Situations like this are extremely rare occurrences! I can count on the fingers of one hand the pilots I have personally known over nearly 40 years that experienced anything like this for real. What you have to realize is incidents like this are so rare they make the news and scare the daylights out of people! More people will die in any given week in traffic accidents than will die from aircraft. Good thing automobiles don't carry 100+ people.

Based on the video it seems she had significant concerns about the flight controls, and only found out about the injured passenger late into the accident, at which point she expedited landing. As far as her decisions regarding speed and landing configuration go, it's a matter of opinion whether it was correct or not, but given her concerns about damage to the flight controls, it's understandable that she would default to her military training and understanding of the aircraft instead of written procedures. Hopefully my response here is not in vain...

    This one was particularly interesting! I think he pilots did an amazing job! I loved their ability to stay calm and decisively handle the situation.. none of the, "oh I think we can get away with it for a little longer" nonsensical attitude that I've seen from some of the pilots in previous videos. Captain Shults was so focused that she even made it a point to keep the airspeed as low as safely possible as to minimize damage to the airframe. I know that there are still plenty of naysayers out there about women being able to do tough jobs and for them, I say they need to watch this video! Hell, hearing the calm in her voice made me calm. Rest in peace to the woman who passed, but I definitely think that many more lives were saved by the pilots' quick thinking in that situation.. any longer at the higher altitude and airspeeds and potentially more people could have been sucked through a window had more windows become damaged. Truly excellent flying... And Allec, I know all of your videos take a substantial amount of work, but I suspect this one took even more than the 'usual' effort. We appreciate your hard work. Very well done!

      No disrespect to Captain Shults who did an amazing job in bringing the plane down safely but I think there are very few commercial pilots who after experiencing an explosion and fire and the complete loss of an engine on a two engine aircraft as well as a complete cabin depressurization that required the wearing of oxygen masks would be thinking "oh I think we can get away with it for a little longer".

Usually resulting in death. Those ones drive me crazy. Think about it, you're at 38,000 feet and you start smelling smoke.. as soon as ATC gives me the OK I'm bringing that plane down as quickly as it's structural limits will safely allow and finding a safe place to land immediately lol.

    My condolences to ALL the passengers and crew who had to witness this traumatizing event, and especially to the flight attendants who had to recover the body of Ms. Riordan back into the aircraft so that her loved ones could provide her with appropriate funerary services. PLEASE...for your own well-being...have your trauma treated by a professional with many years of experience treating accident trauma fatality traumas. You may THINK you're okay, but 5-6 months from now, you could very well become someone you no longer recognize.
    To the pilots who kept their cool, it's times like this when all are reminded of why your military training is so highly valued in the airline industry and why you are paid so very well in the cockpit of an aircraft that can take off and land itself. There is no algorithm for these types of incidents.
    To the loved ones of Ms. Riordan, I am so truly sorry for the loss of Jennifer in such an abrupt and traumatizing manner. On top of your grief, you will also experience the trauma of having to consider what she endured in her last seconds of life. Trauma creeps up on your brain slowly and gradually, so watch for signs that you are becoming hypervigilant in your daily lives. May your loving memories of Jennifer eventually become more frequent than your grief over her passing; it can be a very long process, but it does become easier over time.
    This truly was terrifying and traumatizing for everyone on that aircraft...

    Well done by the pilots, but there's something bugging me... Why didn't the flight attendants informed about the injured passenger earlier? They waited until the pilots asked? Couldn't they say "Hey guys, sorry to bother you, I know there's an engine failure you are dealing with, but a window broke and a passenger stormed out the plane through it, guess you should know"?

    • @delstanley1349
      @delstanley1349 3 года назад +14

      It's hard to say regarding the timing under the circumstances. The window broke immediately after the blown engine. With a broken window in a pressurized plane things happen fast, real fast to equalize the pressure. I understand other passengers were holding on to the woman as she was being sucked into the window. It would probably be a while before the flight attendants could even assess what was going on, it all happened so fast. It would probably be minutes before they knew what they were dealing with before they could even talk to the captain. Remember the cockpit had its own issues too. The ATCs repeatedly tried to get in contact with them and to no avail. They were preparing their oxygen mask microphones before they could respond. To anybody! Perhaps the attendants tried to but got no initial response. A "hold on" maybe. The situation in the cockpit had to be stabilized BEFORE they could do anything about what was happening in the cabin regardless of the emergency back there. All of these events were happening at the same time. Once the pilots were stabilized only THEN could they assess what had happened back there, a kind of "I'll call you, you don't call me" until I'm ready situation because there was little or nothing they could do at that time anyway but make the plane right. So I don't believe it was like the attendants were withholding critical info, they were waiting to inform the cockpit the first time they could reasonably be expected to under the circumstances when all hell was breaking loose. That's my take anyway.

      Well, it's more of the engine manufacturer's issue than that of the airline's. They were maintaining the engines in accordance with the FAA-approved manufacturer's technical data all along. GE engines (and CFM is a partnership including GE) have a history of 1st stage fan blade separations (CF6s and military F101s/F110s in particular) and their allowable damage and repair criteria is considerably more stringent than some other manufacturers because of this. As a senior mechanic I'm going to have to do some more digging to find the full accident report -- I don't work on the CFM56-7Bs at all, but still want to stay informed o what's going on in their world so we don't have problems like this in our part of the aircraft engine world.

I was surprised the pilots did not get an award or other recognition, at least I didn't see it mentioned.
    So many fatal crashes happen because the captain loses his shit when something goes wrong, and/or cannot communicate effectively with their co-pilot. It's critical pilots can keep their head in a crisis, because they only have a limited time to problem solve before the plane is unrecoverable.
