      There's a lot to be said for the actual or perceived control that comes with operating the vehicle. Critical equipment malfunctions (although much more common in cars), fire, etc. are much easier to deal with on the ground, since you can stop immediately.

      Agree all my siblings plus my parents have separately been on mild to serious accidents the past 20 yrs. Fortunately no permanent harm to all 4. I think the perceived safety comes from the probability relative to frequency of driving. You can spend 3 hours a day driving and only be in one minor accident every 10 years. That makes car accidents feel less likely

    I'm part of my airline's Emergency Response Team specifically on the passenger verification team. We go over the passenger manifest and verify how many souls on board and who they were. This entails researching lifted tickets and reconciling them with the manifest and even talking to the airport agents who boarded the flight. The only incident I worked on was when the bomb exploded in the Brussels airport in 2016. We set up a team because the airline was checking in at the time and we had passengers at the terminal. Even though our aircraft wasn't targeted, we believed it the right thing to do and set up a full team including the Go Team. Since I was on the verification team, we looked at who was booked and bought tickets, who was checked in and who wasn't. At that point we literally played detectives trying to find these passengers. It was a very sad thing to know before anyone else that some of them were killed inthe explosion. We worked round the clock for 6 days. I'll never forget going to Mass on the Holy Saturday night and when the priest mentioned to remember the victims, it finally hit me and I broke down.
    We just had a drill the other day. It's chilling when you get a call, text, and email with THERE HAS BEEN AN AIRCRAFT INCIDENT.... and you wait for the follow up THIS IS ONLY A DRILL. Luckily that did come through b

So even though it is initially the more expensive routes when responding to an aircraft accident, SW can collect profits on that response thanks to the positive marketing it does for the image.

      What exactly do you mean by them not having the "luxury of power"? They're the largest LCC in both the United States and the world, they were the third largest airline overall in North America in 2020, they are world's largest operator of the Boeing 737, and their brand image, customer support, and influence on other airlines and sheer amount of market share they hold is very large and impressive. They got to all of this _because_ they treat their customers well (it's what they're known for), but they certainly have a lot of power within the industry. When you think about all of this, it makes you like them more because, knowing that a negative response following a deferral of blame and then discovering they were to blame would be less harsh upon them because of their previous reputation, they still went for the expensive solution which prioritized their image and customers. They really care about their people and maintaining the persona of the world's friendliest airline.

    I remember when somebody asked what happens to luggage after an accident, and it was explained while complex recovery operations do happen for sentimental possessions (even from the bottom of a river in one famous case), for most items where baggage is not trivial to recover the airline will just give them a brand new replacement for anything the passenger claims was in their possession within a reasonable value (clothes, cameras, sporting equipment etc). The 2-3 hundred dollars per passenger on average will likely dwarf any later settlement so in most cases it's not worth the airline's time and risk to reputation to quibble over the ownership of a few personal effects.

      This - Plus the fact I leave my bag unlocked for airside customs checks (Though I do apply tamper seals) - Is one reason why I keep the contents of my hold luggage below the claim levels given in the Athens convention. This way; If my bag is lost to an incident or otherwise mishandled (Mentioning no names, _British scAirways!_ 😉) the claim process is theoretically more straightforward, involves fewer steps, and increases the likelihood of compensation being obtained within a reasonable space of time. 👍
      Unlike in many airport programmes I've watched, where people have put the strangest assortments of things - Like multi-K dollar gaming laptops, high value goods¹, prescription medicine needed during the flight - In their hold bags... 🧳♦😲

      @@dieseldragon6756 Indeed, though the optics of a plane crash vs. lost or damaged luggage through less dramatic means does mean the airline is far more likely to enforce liability limits in the latter cases.
      I can sort of understand why people do those things, the alternative is having a courier deliver it and for high value items that can be nearly as expensive as the airline ticket, plus it takes longer so might have to be shipped weeks in advance (and you need somewhere to hold it for you if it does arrive before you get there) and of course it's out of sight for a much longer period.
      P.S. I think you mean the Montreal convention, Athens is for ships I believe.

      @@Croz89 Aye, I did wonder if I'd misquoted the applicable statute. I recall seeing it in carrier conditions of carriage (Primarily; Ryanair) but given most of my international travel is with Eurostar (Who fall under the CIV) I guess I'm used to different sets of rules. 🚄📜😇
      Personally, I tend to carry valuables on my person or in hand baggage - Not only so I can keep a personal eye on it, but it also makes customs checks and declarations easier to deal with - Remember; Between departure airside and arrival customs you're in a controlled environment where (If things are working properly) everybody is ID'd and recorded.
      It's also safer for electrical items and anything pressure sensitive, and mandatory (By air carriage regs) for anything containing a lithium battery. 🔋
      I still cannot understand some things people put in their checked bags, though. Extra meds makes sense (Assuming you've put enough for the flight and a few days baggage delay in your hand luggage) and perhaps bulky items that need customs declarations only (Cigarettes etc, remembering these will almost certainly lead to screening airside) but wads of cash, perishable items and things that are definitely *not* suitable for keeping in any storage unit (A good rule of thumb for what's OK in luggage) just blows my mind out of the water! 🤯

    Included in the 'once every three days', for 2019 as an example, 20-25% seemed to be injuries due to turbulence.
    I didn't find 'runway accidents account for more than 90%' in 2019 , unless perhaps you include turbulence on approach or departure, but I wouldn't think that counts as a runway accident. It certainly seemed to be more than half though, including things such as:
    a passenger fell off the stairs
    parked and slowly taxiing planes getting knocked by ground craft
    plane rolled forward during startup, hitting a light pole, with minor damage
    towbar breaking during pushback, causing plane damage
    + a lot of landing gear damage, and tailstrikes
    I think a lot of them wouldn't be thought of as aeroplane accidents by most people, even though they're defined that way.
    For 2019, controlled flight into terrain = 0, loss of control = 2, with 12 & 19 or 20 onboard fatalities. The latter plane being at max capacity, so perhaps not what most people think of as a large commercial aircraft.

    This was likely one of your most interesting videos! It's fascinating to see how doing the right thing somewhat aligns with corporate interests, to an extent ; while it's a bit more disappointing (but understandable I guess) that this is all still a numbers game and interests diverge over time "as the flaming pile of debris cools down". Nonetheless, it's great that you give insights into both ends of the equation objectively, without taking sides yourself, always inspiring people to reflect on the subject more deeply. Always a pleasure, keep the great things going and thanks again!

    Is there a source for the "one crash of a large passager airplane every three days" figure? It seems extremely high to me, unless "crash" has a very unusual definition.

    • @robertnorris8831
      @robertnorris8831 3 года назад +15

      He’s defining crash as incident, so that’s including when a baggage truck hits a plane at the gate, runway overruns, gear up landings etc... don’t take it too literally

    • @whocares4827
      @whocares4827 3 года назад +10

      Also upon Landing tires pop and explode all the time without people on board knowing but it does count as a crash since it wasn't fully safely landed on the runway.

    • @fish4017
      @fish4017 3 года назад +9

      I agree that a “crash” every 3 days seems high. Perhaps the word “incident” would be a better fit? In aviation emergencies are classified as an Alert I - A precautionary approach where a suspected emergency exists on an aircraft, but the nature of the emergency would not normally make the anticipated landing unsafe (open door indicator in the cockpit). Alert II - An actual aircraft emergency exists in flight, and an accident may well occur resulting in injuries and aircraft damage (gears stuck up/flap issue). Alert III - Signifies an actual aircraft accident has occurred (plane goes off of the runway). I’d be curious if all types of emergencies are considered crashes in this case.

    • @u0aol1

      Once every 3 days seem pretty low to me to be honest. There were 170.000 DAILY commercial flights in 2019, and apparently one in 200.000 flights crash. A crash once every 3 days would mean one crash every 500.000 flights, which is really low

    Incredibly good info. I love your channel so much, and this video is one of my favorites, because it plays to my interests. This was incredibly accurate and well presented with incredible information and was quite informative. I am a member of USAF CAP and have recently taken courses on many aspects of ES such as ICS and NIMS and this covered the commercial and airlines portion incredibly well. Just being nitpicky here, if you wanted to geek out more, a great note to add would be the Liaison Officers that would most likely be part of the Go-Team's communication unit that would be responsible for communicating to and from the airline and the airline's Go-Team to other organizations such as the NTSB, FAA, possibly FBI and/or CIA, local/state ES authorities, and possibly CAP as well as many other organizations. It is quite fascinating how they work together, and I think could even be it's own video. Again, absolutely excellent content, keep it up!

    That's crazy! I had no idea there were so many plane crashes, but it makes sense considering the volume of planes flying each day. Still safer than driving! I do wonder how the stats compare between flying commercially, riding on a train, driving a car, riding on a bus, maybe even commercial boat travel, and any other mode of transportation commonly used that I can't think of right now. Very interesting!

  • @boatlover1875
    @boatlover1875 3 года назад +1

    It goes even farther than that. I worked at a small airport that had express service for a major US airline. We had to keep a copy of the final passenger manifest and a copy of the flight release signed by the pilots for every departing flight for 24 hours in case something happened. This also included a copy of the weight and balance form. Finally, we had a small "go" kit with forms to get information from survivors if possible if an accident occurred at our station or nearby.

  • @yoidoretennshi777

    As I had worked at the airport for 19 years with a major airline, I understand very well what this video wanted to explain although fortunately I had never encountered such a tragedy where I had been working. However, I remember that one of my old colleagues had told me at that time about her " indirect" experience which had happened in 1970s...

    I used to fly SW all the time to the east coast, and after doing some research I figured out that I had ridden in the exact SW plane that lost the window. I may well have sat in the exact same seat as the woman who died - as I usually ended up somewhere near the middle of the plane looking at the engines.
    Now I will only sit in the very, very back.

    Makes me think back to my Marketing Policy class in 1990-91 when we had to revisit the Tylenol poisoning case and response as a case study. A well planned crisis response may cost a lot up front, but in the long term, it may be more beneficial to the company, especially with regards to damage control.

  • @Dr_Kenneth_Noisewater
    @Dr_Kenneth_Noisewater 3 года назад +2

    In the US, crashes are treated primarily as accidents to be learned from and are not typically investigated as crime scenes unless warranted based on circumstances. Many other countries treat crashes primarily as crime scenes and are investigated by criminal authorities with any learnings from the crash being secondary. The former is less emotionally satisfying, especially when gross negligence is involved, but ultimately better serves safety. The former provides the satisfaction of seeing airline pilots in handcuffs, but causes all parties to shut up and lawyer up, which doesn’t serve safety. So you seldom see carriers accept responsibility in those countries where criminal charges will be forthcoming.
    Also, when an airline does accept responsibility, their words are crafted carefully to apologize for the pain caused by the accident but almost never do they admit culpability or liability in a legal sense.
