Cathay Pacific Emergency Landing: • Cathay Pacific Emergen...
What Caused Flight CX884 To Make An Emergency Landing
We were around half way into the flight when the captain announced we would have to make an emergency landing, it was at this point the crew began to give instructions on what we had to do. This included how to perform the brace position correctly and invited us removing the life jacket from under out seats and strapping it around us.
At one point a crew member comes over the PA and announces that we might have to make an emergency water ditch, meaning we could be forced to attempt a landing on the Pacific Ocean. Luckily this didn't happen and the pilot was abel to divert the plane to a Eareckson Air Station which is a remote military airbase located on Shemya, in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands.
At points during the emergency landing passengers can smell smoke throughout the plane making them think there could be a fire onboard the plane. From a press release later released by Cathay Pacific we found out that a cooling fan had failed in the control room below the cockpit and had caused several smoke detectors to be activated.

Smoke in the cockpit is the most serious emergency situation for pilots .
Apart from the wings falling off, I've heard that's also pretty bad.
+Jack Coggins They don't tend to fall off, it can be occasional that something gets caught in an engine, which then rips that sides wing of the plane off when the engine continues to try to run, but they don't fall off.
It was meant to be a small joke.
ASTLEYFAM Seb & Kieran - How occasional is your occasional? I would say your scenario is extremely rare and documented cases even more so?
YJeey - I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that a wing falling off would be a more serious emergency...
I bet that the real reason was that the plane was missing the left phalange.
TimmyBoy 😂😂
TimmyBoy lol
I heard they packed a bunch of them before they took off again.
There is no phalange!😂
HAHAHAHH! We love a good friends reference
It is great that you were calm enough to record all this. Great job, mate. All the best
Thanks +Shashi Srivastava
Wow, that must have been very scary. I see that in the end the aircraft was okay but that information wasn't available... You were a lot calmer that I would have been. :)
Thanks Darcy, I'm glad it was all fine in the end. Not knowing the problem until much later was one of the worst part.
+Darcy Whyte ikr, I would be freaking out
Darcy Whyte but he also got sime great content

i would be unconscious
Pilot was just smoking a joint and they walked in on them and they were like “oh no! smoke in the cockpit, this is an emergency, we should land I don’t know what’s happening here at all”
You are so fortunate that it was not more serious. Cooling fans have been known to take out entire airliners, and the fact that it was under the cockpit, could have rendered the pilots incapable of controlling the entire aircraft. THANK GOD SIR.

CAG2 haha
CAG2 hi. Cag
dont thank god, thank the pilots
Stop it with the god stuff already.. geez
Great video and it was great to see you safe and sound explaining what happened! Greetings from Canada.
Thanks David! I've actually just moved to Canada :)
Haha cool. Welcome! !
Wait Your From Canada One City At A Time?
Artemsamico arte em Biscuit No you are not "from" Canada You are a foreigner we allow to live here because we have terrible immigration policies you morons from other countries take advantage of.
You were not born here..you are what real Canadians call an "Import" and we do not want you here
Eh? Fellow Canadian here
So glad to see you back on the ground safely... thank you for the update!
amazing how everyone seemed so calm
Good stuff.. You have to stay calm in any emergency situation. Almost all ditchings are worse than dry belly landings and incur fatalities, if not from the crash, then from the ocean chill - particularly where you were. The best thing that can be done is to stay calm and think rationally and logically. Observe your surroundings to figure out your emergency exits and listen to any announcement the crew need to make, in order to maximise your chances of survival.
Sod that - raid the drinks trolly.
I can't imagine what was going through your mind while this was happening. You seemed so calm though. Well done, mate.
Yeah!
From the Island of Shemya we are glad you and all the other passengers made it safely to LA. :-)
Compensation of $300, what a joke.
there are guidelines of what airlines have to pay. They got the passengers to L.A. with a huge delay. And of course airlines want to reduce the amount of money they have to actually spend. Cuz if you give 300 passengers 300$ they have to spend $90.000 however if they would give everyone $1000 they would have to spend $300.000. Additionally cathay did everything they could to get the passengers to L.A. as soon as possible
***** Of course he would´ve got more if he would´ve been injured. But if you land in the water there is a high chance the aircraft just blows apart and you die. It´s pretty obvious that you get more money if you get injured than if you get to your desination delayed
I_Wear_Socks you do get compensation from airlines if you're not involved in a crash, if you're travelling within the EU, flying from or to an EU country, or flying with an airline which has a base in the EU, you get compensation for delays, emergency landings and everything in between.
MrNico1011 can I be one of them smartass people who love to jump in and correct you on these comments 😁when planes hit the water they either stay whole ( only sometimes ) or they break apart (usually ) but they never blow apart unless they have bombs, decompression , or similar 😁there I feel better now being a smartass becomes me.
any american flight would have probably billed for the extra stop and flotation vest.
I'd just be glad I am safe and sound. Those who complaint 300 isn't enough needs to remember that $3 million dollars doesn't mean anything if you are dead.
They put you on the SAME plane that you had just emergency landed. I would've hopped on on my TonTon and trucked it back home.
Midway Island is closer after 8.30 hour flight. Why Shemya ? Flat Earth!
cudos to CX for being such a good airline company that hires good pilots!
Oh my friend ... i really enjoy to look at that emergency landing ... was lovely and very romantic ...
Having seen 2 of your videos on this (and many more, I, too have seen some "hairy" flights, but also have survived many other inmmediately life threatening situations in my71 years.
I am a retired electronic technician in the Greater Montreal Canada area, but have had over 1 million Km on the road not counting various fly and drives in 3 languages and 3 countries, yet never had the chance to go overseas.
I admire your calm in a dangerous situation. I'too am good at when an emergency demands it, and that has saved my life many times and that of others.
I must admit, often I can't tell the difference between British and Aussie parlance, and as yours seems simply an educated style, much that makes other identifiable does not usually come from the most educated of us.
Good luck, and when somebody, having seen this finds themselves in a like situation, we might think "quid pro quo" and may they make the best of what they have witnessed.
Scary, none the less. Good that you are ok. BTW, I subscribed.
Not dying is priceless but getting only $300 compensation for the delay is worthless if it can only be used to fly on the same airline. What about missed connections, travel and hotel fees once they finally got to LA? That can be costly. Was that compensated? This is why I always buy travel/trip insurance.
Cathay Pacific is one of the better airlines in the world. I think they would have paid for a connection flight if he or any passenger may have missed. But still the airline did their job and that was to make sure everyone was safe. That is the pilot's job overall.
Some US Airlines were giving up to $1-2KUSD for being bumped from a flight!
@@kksd2 The law and regulations dictate how much an airline have to compensate under various circumstances. Passengers being bumped is entirely an airlines' fault, as such a thing only happens because of the airline's poor resource planning and the poor business practice of overbooking flights. The airline should be held liable for such mishaps.
An technical fault and having to do an emergency landings on the other hand isn't entirely the airline's fault, it happens all the times to even the best airlines. The airline would only be culpable for a technical fault if they have statistically significantly higher rate of technical faults than similar airlines due to poor maintenance.
Also, heavily penalizing Airlines who safely make an emergency landing would likely have the opposite effect on air safety, as pilots would essentially be pressured to push on in dangerous situations instead of calling for an emergency landing when they really should have.
In a safety-oriented culture, pilots are taught that it is better to overdo emergency landings when they don't really need it, than to not do it when they really should.
I actually live on the Unalaska Island (AKA Dutch Harbor) in the Aleutian Islands.
Not sure how Cathay Pacific get away with describing this as a 'precautionary diversion' - if they were entertaining the thought of ditching it was an emergency.
This would be a distressing situation for anyone, but especially for people who had children on the plane, it had to be terrifying. I think people deserved a lot more compensation than they got, just for the overwhelming fear it caused. I'll be there are at least some people on that plane who are done flying after that.
Is it my I pad or is it true that you have no subs because I just subscribed and interested in your videos and I think you should have more subs or my iPad is broken and not showing all your subs so if not I'm your first subscriber
😃😃😃😃
Hey +crazycow thanks for the sub :)
Nice videos bro. Will definitely subscribe.
As a few here have said smoke in the cockpit is a serious situation, captain of the aircraft would have declared an emergency and diverted the flight to land nearest suitable airfield great work by the flight crew.
Flights actually go over Alaska from Asia. (A circle route)
Tell me, when you go to sleep - do you dream? And, when you wake up, is it still as if you are asleep? You seem to have an audio problem - almost an extension of your incoherent personality, I guess. Turn the mike up, speak louder, put the mike closer to your mouth. Try something and above all, KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FRO M YOUR FACE WHEN SPEAKING TO AN AUDIENCE VIA YOUR CAMERA, OK.
I was one of the operating crew. We flew you to Anchorage and you guys were picked by another plane and set of crew, while we stayed 2 more nights in ANC. Flew back the same aircraft to HKG.
Cathay pacific has the best safety record in the industry
Did you get to keep the life jacket
It was actually Snakes on the plane, it was just coincidence Samuel L Jackson was in first class at the time.
Was onboard but in Business. I was freaking out doing the brace position
where you able to fly again after such frightening experience mate?
Luckily CX884 made a safe landing,passengers on the flight must have been worried about it,because in the cockpit,you said theres smoke,you can be the calmer man that I had ever seen,luckily Cathay Pacific had a good safety record.
Geeze, I've flown Cathay. I would have been thinking Swiss Air Flight 111. Fortunately for all souls on board it did not come to that.
It's nice they didn't tell u shit the whole time, and you got to find out only after their public statement...
DO you have a fear of flying now?
Wow this is crazy. The distance between Shemya and Anchorage is quite remarkable. How long was that second leg of the trip?? I think for me that would have been the most unsettling part of the trip. Kudos for your calm attitude!
This is the amazing part.Continue onwards.
The real problem was probably the pilots inability to understand the intricacies of microphone sensitivities... or the lack thereof.
KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR FACE WHEN TALKING TO VIEWERS.
I thought i knew english but with that freaking accent i understand shit
I flew on B-KPQ in december 2019. Crazy to think about what happened. I say your video the day before and I realized it was the same aircraft while I was onboard.
Was there any people at the first airbase?
VERY POOR sound quality. You're too far away
Seriously ... $300? That's it? I got $1400 when I was bumped off SW Airlines on an oversold flight. Rediculous of that airline (Cathy Pacific).
Wonderful. A $20 cooling fan could bring down an aircraft. Keep telling yourselves: fly is safe, flying is safe, flying is safe, flying is safe........
What do you do for six hours at Shemya? I would imagine there is probably less than 100 USAF personnel on that island.
Your calm demeanor is very impressive! I fly all the time, but the only emergency I've ever had was on a short flight from Philadelphia to Newburgh New York on a DH-8 prop. It was just a short connecting flight, the gear touched the 11,000 foot runway, and we aborted the landing because of lost differential braking on a slightly snowy surface. We circled for a while in whiteout conditions until the decision was made to return to Philadelphia. It takes a lot to make me nervous......but that sure did the trick!
And your video made me nervous as well!!!
Your lucky u didin't land in the sea cause all of you will sink and sharks will come soo the pilot that was driving knows what to do GOD BLESS.....
You looked really scared mate.... Abd to be quite frank... I wuld have been crapping my self too ..
I would be so scared
Hey man, thanks for sharing. Wow smoke in the skies is usually catastrophic, if not an inferno, incapacitating smoke to the flight deck. You are on lucky man. Incidentally, I have now subscribed to your channel now also :)
Thank goodness you were all ok! Flying back to the UK from Grenada in the Caribbean once on a VA flight we made it with no issues to the stopover (quick pick up of other passengers from Tobago). Then we were held on the aircraft for hours in incredible heat . They couldn't put the aircon on as engines were switched off. Lots of people passing out from the heat and having to be offloaded. Ambulances called etc. Then the pilot said we were finally ok to go, that there had been a problem with the plane which they had to sort out or on this transatlantic crossing we were all headed to a watery grave!!! Scared the hell out of me but quickly stopped any complaints on board!
Man... I wouldnt even have been okay to board on another plane after that!!!! I also saw your video of yourself in the plane... everybody onboard seemed to be pretty relaxed, i would have been crying like a baby and screaming I think
I jst happend upon this video was glad you recorded it i wondered how you got on . i watched your other with the Emergency landing and i really felt for you i pictured myself there and how i would have been feeling having to go thru an emergency landing not knowing if i would land safely and survive , so was good to see you are safe & sound.
smoke in the cabin - that's why you've seen them running without a word from the captan. Glad all went smooth after cheers
But why did the make u put your life jacket on, when u could divert somewhere?
Hey Thomas, the pilot was preparing the cabin for the worst case scenario incase we couldn't make it to an airport
When I first saw the video my brain tricked me into thinking that you were already landing in LA when they had the incident. The thought of literally being over the middle of the pacific with the thought of ditching would be terrifying. To even contemplate a ditch over the pacific the pilot would have to accept that the situation was so grave that the the high likelihood that that many people would die in a ditch was outweighed by the high likelihood that all people would die with continued flight.
Do you've any photos or videos of the Eareckson station? I assume you'd have been there till sunrise?
Were You Scared ?
I wish that never happens to anyone what a bad experience
how was your experience New and Fun ?
imagine being told you are taking off again on the same plane that you thought you were ditching in.
Glad everyone was safe!!!
The Aleutian Islands are Alaska. They are not near Alaska, they are Alaska.
Was the second airbase you went to was Elmendorf AFB?
No that was Anchorage
Nothing like being told you may be ditching in a pitch black cold sea.
Look, hong kong to LA doesn't HAVE ALASKA ON ITS PATH!
The eart is flat.
The Malaysia airline MH370 is the most serious incident ever
what happened to the life vests did you get to keep them or did the crew take them.
I bet it was snoop dogg the pilot and he was smoking weed inside the cab
and thats why Cathay pacific airways is one of the best airline in the world
100,000 viewer :)
It was Shemya AFB?
Hey Jame, yeah that's the one. Apologies my pronunciation is was off.
I want to visit this Al. A place he is talking about...
was surprised when i heard you landed in the illution islands
phew, I broke wind watching the emergency landing
You kept it together so well. They would have had a big problem with me,because I would have insisted that I get off and I wouldnt have got back on again! lol I would have been stranded there possibly,but there's no way I would have wanted to go back up in it and off again!!
Hey +QueenNoTeetha151 thanks, it's strange to look back on it. But you'd be surprised how composed everyone can be in situations like this, the crew really helped keep everything calm. I think there was probably a few people who would have preferred not to fly again on this plain but there wasn't much choice, plus we didn't find out how serious the problem was until we landed at an airport in Alaska after this.
AGAIN...I am just happy you are safe.
Your lucky you weren't on swissair 111
Ok,
I need to ask. Did you get religious?
So, did you get to keep the life vest?!?!?!
This is another case for the Flat Earth Map.
Was this a Boeing 777, or what type?
What's the name of the second island?
Hey +enjay we diverted to Shemya Airforce base then onto Anchorage afterwards.
When fans fail and cause smoke in our planes we just put on our oxygen masks and keep on flying
Half the pax masks don't work.
I really know what you were feeling... Well during my emergency landing I dind't put on lifejacket, that's because I was flying to Beijing from Paris and the plane was above Russia. In my case it was serious engine failure. The plane started shaking and sound strange. Thankfully both landings ended happily :)
Hey Krzysztof, that sounds terrifying. I'm glad you landed safely in the end!
+One City At A Time I'm also really glad, the touchdown was the hardest I've ever had, and I thought that tires had exploded. But we stopped at the runway and could calm down. Your situation wasn't also nice. But we both are alive that's the most important! :D
I can hardly hear this guy.
cooling fan?! bullocks!
How would you know? Are you an aircraft expert? No. So shut the hell up.
I am actually.
+Israel Amor you keep telling your self that. If u were u would be a bit more mature.
+Israel Amor you keep telling your self that. If u were u would be a bit more mature.
:) i am 38
The flight crew did very well.
god bless these pilots👨✈️
POST MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg im so scared the aorplane we are going to ride in cebu pacific plane OOOOoCFFff
You still alive? :)
Fly with TUI trust me
Please keep the videos going! I am a new flyer and am extremely terrified of planes. Do you fly a lot and does it affect you anymore when you fly?
felicia jackson the most dangerous part of flying is the trip to the airport
Actually you are more likely to die by getting struck by lighting getting into your car to drive to the airport than die in a plane crash
So relax and enjoy the flight :P
how sure are u about thAT//????????????????/i m super scared of flights
Worst thing on an airplane in flight is fire. Really nowhere to do. Second worst is water landings. Hasn't been done successfully in most cases. Passengers lucked out.I'm
Reminds me of swissair 111
Alaska is fun.
What was the name of the airbase you diverted to?
