When they recreated this in simulators, all the simulated passengers tore off their clothes and started fucking in the aisles, in the galley and the toilets and just all over the place :o
Yes, that is true. In fact, none of the crews who tried in the simulators got close to the airports. Truly a remarkable effort on the part of the flight crew.
I am in such admiration for the pilots who get us safely around the globe. They are all heroes, and I thank them here, because we do not the opportunity to shake their hand normally. Thank you very much.
Daphne Thurlow is in such admiration of her garbage men too. they risk so much to take her refuse away. they are real heroes and since she doesn’t view them as human.. she would never shake their hands so she does it here. thank you
@@Baseballbat95 Several incidents often happen in a cockpit which are not released in public so we can say quite a number of pilots are heroes. I mean if they got T-CAS warning they would just avoid a collision simply and also there was a Qantas flight which was about to crash after stalling but pilot noticed the mistake before something bad happened.It was autopilot error.
I agree, that this video is highly compelling, even though there is no spoken narration of the crash of United 232. Ironically, I just watched a documentary yesterday of this plane crash, on the TV series "Why Planes Crash" and it had full productions values, story line, narration, full computer animation and film clips. It was not a tenth as chilling as this unspoken video. Probably because this video put the viewer inside the plane and inside the minds of the flight crew. It's amazing that these pilots were able to bring this plane down at all. If they hadn't had the years of training and experience, the plane would have rolled over to the right, gone into a steep bank and augered into the ground nose first at a tremendous speed. There would have been no survivors in such a crash. This success of this flight was saving half the lives of the crew and passengers. It graphically shows that pilots are in the cockpit not to fly the plane, but to do what they can to save the lives of all on board when the plane can't fly or land safely.
I was in Sioux City when the plane landed or crashed, my wife was at the hospital and the hospital staff had prepared for such an emergency a couple of months before - they saved a lot of folks. The plane crew did a great job.
I know lap children needed to lie on the floor, whereas now we have the safety belt. I know one of the flight attendants who told people to put babies on the floor never forgave herself and campaigned all her life for child safety.
"Flight 232 you're cleared to land on any runway" Capt. Haynes "You want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?" lol! This pilot is unbelievable. That is remaining cool under pressure.
I heard Capt. Al Haynes talking to a group of local pilots and aviation enthusiasts at POU (Dutchess County Airport, Poughkeepsie, NY) where he unassumingly described the solving of an almost impossible problem using cooperation between the air crew working as a team to save half the passengers in what, to me, was the single greatest feat of pure excellent airmanship. He detailed how United, after this amazing piece of group airmanship, developed the first Cockpit Resources Program to train United crews how to maximize management of such impossible flight conditions. United was the first airline to do this. Most all others now formally train air crews maximize the available resources through working as a team to manage crisis.--Capt Haynes is my personal hero.
@@XalphYT The fact that he was able to pull that together in the midst of what was happening really speaks to his character. As a pilot, he must have known they were going to die. Pretty amazing.
Incredible video Allec! It is absolutely astonishing that anyone survived the crash. I was amazed at the frankness of the captain's warning/message to the passengers; he didn't mince any words. The captains and other pilots were heroes and I can't believe they returned to flying. RIP to those who perished.
The fan disk was 'missing' at the crash site and there was a large reward for finding it. Eventually a farmer and his wife found most of it (about a quarter was missing) and they refused the reward. It was when the fan blade was x--rayed they found the imperfection. The remains of the disk is displayed at McDonell Douglas headquartes.
Al Haynes and Denny Fitch, national heroes IMO. I don't give just anyone that honour but these 2 are more than deserving. Talk about flying under the worst conditions. Class Act guys enforcing proper CRM.
I had the pleasure of attending a dinner where Capt. Hayes was the guest speaker. When they showed the actual video, he turned away and couldn't watch it. He gave all thecredit to his flight attendants. A really great guy. He said that the cockpit in a DC-10 is like 60 feet off the ground and after the crash, it was level to his hip!
Unfortunately when a plane looses hydraulics or cables there is nearly no hope of landing. It is an incredibly hard thing to do and the pilots who get in these positions and keep the plane flying are incredible.
Yeh thats one of them. I can't remember the other one but it's on Allec Joshua Ibay channel where a terrorist involved in the World Trade Center bombings blew up the side of a 747 cutting control cables. However that one the Pilot's had some control of the Aircraft.
Andrew I believe there's now software on board newer planes that will calculate and adjust the thrust as if you are flying the plane normally. Iirc it was on a documentary about the plane that got shot by a missile but landed.
I cannot believe that after so many years of aviation, total loss of all hydraulics is possible. Triplicating them is little more than a joke, when the lines run side by side and their is no shut off to a ruptured line. The whole concept needs to be changed. With 3 pumps in different locations, separate layout of separate lines to each function back to the pumps and a shutoff valve to every line. Although this sounds very complex, it is not. Just more smaller pipes and less big ones. Once properly designed, they would be easier to install than the existing system and the total weight of pipelines being only slightly (if at all) increased. It should not involve significant increased production costs. Despite all the increases in technology, some aspects of aircraft design seem to be stuck in a time warp. PS, I am a chartered design engineer (retired). Although I have no experience in aircraft design, good engineering practice is the same, whatever the application. It was the same sort of stupidity that caused ALL of the nuclear power station disasters.
This air tragedy is tastefully done with proper dignity. How harrowing for the survivors and tremendous sorrow for the loss of passengers and their families and friends. I didn't have dry eyes at the ending of this one. I am by no means a watcher or looker on highways and streets of car accidents. But this was very compelling. Kudos to whomever put this together. Thank you.
For all it's rough edges, this is hands-down the most effective, accurate and undeniably tense portrayal of UA 232 I've ever seen. This was an aeronautical feat that is still widely regarded as simply impossible.
I remember this tragic accident...now in retrospect...im amazed at the crews ability to do what they did. Im a 30 yr plus heavy equipment operator..I can appreciate hand / eye / coordination of controls. I am personally amazed how they handled the air craft with just engines alone .I also had great sorrow for the fear of the passengers.
The fact that the crew was able to even get the plane to an airport is amazing almost on par with the appollo 13 return trip. Amazing what a cool mind and some very smart people can do under pressure. Landing in Hudson was also a pretty sharp, quick, and well executed recovery from a catastrophic problem. We need to appreciate the well trained pilots and traffic controllers of this country.
I remember from another video that the nose section and cockpit broke off and the pilots were calling from the windows. All strapped in but stuck. Also they ended up in a cornfield and later in the search for survivors they found two boys still sitting strapped into their seats that were upright. The boys were alive. A reward was offered for finding the missing fan blade and it was eventually found in a farmers field.
I remember watching the news in CA when this was happening.They followed it from first report to the airport in Sioux City.Hospitals prepared for causalities and locals lined up to donate blood.The press was waiting for the plane to land.I watched the crash live on tv. It cartwheeled on the runway and into the cornfield.Heartbreaking because it looked like they all died.But news reports followed telling how many survived.It was a miracle.I was very impressed watching this video and hearing what was going on inside the cockpit.Thank you for posting.
I remember this crash vividly, remember watching it on TV as a teenager. When I watch this video and am reminded more people survived than died, I just shake my head. It's still so unbelievable....
I’ve seen this before. They tried so hard. So intense watching this even if so long ago, still willing for more to survive. Thank God some did survive. God bless the pilots and crew. May those that passed rest in peace. Thank you for the great job you do in putting these valuable videos together for us.
I was on a Northwest flight back in 1989, a DC-10 traveling from LA to Minneapolis, which suffered the exact same fan disk failure in engine two. We were lucky because the debris did not sever the hydraulic lines. We made an emergency landing in Denver. The pilot got a standing ovation. The entire tail section of the plane looked like it had been riddled with shotgun blasts.
I was hired as an A&P mechanic by United two weeks prior to this incident and spent the next 15 years as a mechanic there. We learned a lot about this type of failure in the ensuing years but the most important is that closer, more precise inspections of the fan rotors, particularly on these General Electric CFM-6 engines, are essential during the regularly scheduled "A" checks. (As an aside, it was suspected that after 9/11/2001 United cried poverty and blamed excessive maintenance costs. The FAA signed off on increasing the flight hours between "A" checks from every 400 hours to every 500 hours.) When the hairline crack in the heavy fan disc, which was spinning at thousands of revolutions per minute, finally let go it really did sever all three hydraulic lines. With no one-way check valves the fluid simply poured out. Very well organized video.
@@shermankelly9062 the left wing didn't stall. The right wing dipped, and with no ailerons, they put full thrust on 3 to raise the wing back up, but unfortunately, the engine did not spool up soon enough, and the wing caught the ground, and broke off. The left wing was still flying, and caused it to roll over on it's back, and cartwheel. Had it not been for that, good chance it would of just over ran the runway into the corn, shear the gear off, and slid to a stop. Heart breaking that the wing dropped at the last minute, as you said though.
One year, 13 day old me was on that exact plane flying the same route the day before. My luggage got lost and was sent on United 232 the next day. My mom says she got my luggage 3 weeks later. It was burnt but the stuff inside was okay. This video hits a bit harder knowing that.
Wow. I flew into Iowa a day after this crash. The Des Moines Register was full of the story. I remember my folks did not talk about it. I tried not to think about it. This is the first time seeing this video. I watched it thinking of my brother who is now a pilot. I am truly in awe of the intelligence and courage and concentration it takes just to fly a plane let alone go through something like this. May God bless all those involved. RIP all those who perished.
Great video with lots of dignity. I have recently flown dc-10 as an air force kc-10 tanker. Never thought anything of it, i guess I just trust the pilot and the plane maintenance. It was a fun flight. From Mcguire afb to Yuma airport. 12 hours flight with two fighters refueling along the way.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Captain Al Haynes. In 1998, he lectured on "preparedness and training", and their role in the management and survival with regards to the crash of UAL 232. At least one-third of that lecture referenced the stellar response by emergency services, the citizenry of Sioux City as a whole, and their factoring into the "unexpectedly high" survival rate of the crash.
I was the Maintenance Manager at a local Hospital in Sioux City. The day the crash occurred, I was on vacation at home when the phone rang announcing a Mass Casualty alert. I put the vacation on hold and went to the Hospital and took charge of my department. A day I will never forget.
I was active duty Navy and flew that day on Delta from Jacksonville (JAX) to Hawaii (HNL) via Atlanta (ATL) to Los Angeles (LAX) and on to HNL. Wasn't a good day for our trip either. Was supposed to fly non-stop on an L1011-500 from ATL. The aircraft had maintenance issues took a two hour delay wound up on a L1011-200. We landed in LAX took off, had a landing gear that did not fully retract dumped fuel and returned to LAX. The plane we were supposed to originally be on came in from Dallas so got on it. We heard about flight 232 in LAX. I taught classes for Embry Riddle in Hawaii and Washington State, we had CAPT Al Haines come and talk to classes on several occasions. That crew did an excellent job just getting that airplane on the ground on an airport.
Had the chance to meet Captain Haynes and thanked him for this. He has always been a personal hero of mine, not just for what he did, but what he and the crew contributed to make flying safer. They set an example that day. We are still learning to follow it. And when faced with something supposedly impossible. you can say "TwoThreeTwo Heavy did more with less, so what are you bitching about?"
I had just started at America West July 1 that year and was in PHX attending new hire ground Ops training (actually I was shopping in the company store) the exact moment the TV in the store cut to a live feed of the crash. America West (HP) served SUX at the time - as did three other carriers. But it was a VERY small field station for us - we had 12 employees, and really there were a total of maybe 60 airline employees between all four carriers. As it happened, three months after the crash I was back in PHX representing DCA in a systemwide CSR council meeting when I happened to be sitting next to the CSR representing SUX right there at the hotel pool. Of course the moment she introduced herself and mentioned where she worked EVERYONE within earshot came to where she was sitting, peppering her with questions about that day. For the next three or four hours (I lost track) she told us in extraordinary detail THE most harrowing story of everything she saw, did, and felt........from the moment she grabbed her still wet jumpsuit from the dryer because the everyone got a phone call to come to the airport immediately........ to how they all stood on the eerily silent ramp in their company jumpsuits (even the station secretary), knowing something terrible was about to happen but not having a clue just how awful it was going to be....... watching, hearing, smelling the -10 as it cartwheeled in flames, hurling itself and everything in it all over the airport and adjacent cornfields.... running (running!) across the ramp toward the burning wreckage strewn across the active runway (the kind of insane thing that only appears in an airline employee’s fever-induced bizarro dream)...... feeling they couldn’t run fast enough...everything in slow motion....all the while not knowing exactly what they were going to find once they got there...... this particular employee Suzanne (aka “shortcake”) was assigned to help run the makeshift survivors center for those passengers with only minor injuries (believe it or not there were quite a few who walked, dazed, from the wreckage)..... she said there was a lot that she saw but couldn’t fully process at that moment (which was a good thing) because it enabled her to keep her wits about here and away from completely freaking out. To this day I remember every single thing she told us about what it was like to be there as it happened. They say the airline industry is one big family, regardless of who you work for. When someone in the family suffers a tragedy, everyone feels it. That day was when I realized that statement was absolutely true.
This is still an amazing feat of flying by the pilots, even if they still crashed. What they did is the same as driving a speeding car with no brake or steering wheel, its amazing there were survivors.
65k + flight hours for these pilots on the cabin, plus a DC10 instructor. What an incredible job they did it is amazing that they could guide the plane that close to the airport with thrust in 2 of the 3 engines only. Heroes.
Personally not a fan of this type of simulator reconstruction, that said this did justice to the situation and accurately represented the situation as I recall it from watching the TV version. Nice job!
What I also commend is his plain speaking about the whole incident that is ensuing, he doesn't steer away or try to lie to his passengers. Al tells them straight and prepares them for the inevitable
Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos. I'm a retired 747 Capt. and have knowledge of many of them. Often airline training departments use accidents as training tools. How about doing Air Transat 236, the Airbus that did a dead stick landing in the Azores at Lajes Air Base.
God bless Denny Fitch and Cpt Haynes. They did everything they could in an impossible landing. Thank-you for your service Captain Kevin. One pilot to another.
I live in the region where this flight originated. Seeing the footage of the barbaric touchdown gives me chills every time. First heard about it nearing the 25th anniversary. Shout out to the pilots for doing the best they could given the worst of circumstances.
Well done! I had watched this on '30 secconds from disaster' or a similar series, but I was still hooked on your video. Replaying it within a flight simulator with the real footage at the end is a great accomplishment in editing and made it very compelling. The silent commentary strengthened has a sobering effect. Thank you very much!
Search youtube...there are some good interviews with the passengers and they recount the experience. Most credit the experience of the crew for their lives. Sadly, there was a young girl who was saved from the wreckage by another passenger on this plane that committed suicide. Very tragic.
Awesome job on Captain Al Haynes and Denny Fitch much love and respect to both of them.. RIP... Danny Fitch off-duty DC-10 captain was doing the throttles for Al Haynes
My Cousin and her 3 children survived This plane crash she was able to get two of her children out of the body of the plane they were in and went back in to free her son John. . both died from inhaling the smoke , So many lives where changed from this plane crash and changes made with the design of this plane. Sadly miss my cousin Ruth and her son John
There is a DC10 perched at Exposition State Park. I bicycle under it when I visit the museum. I will remember what the crew and captain did, the existential laughs, and thank God I am alive and my disabled son, bikes with me like speed freaks down Figuerora. Thank you for making this video, my son's middle name is Joshua. May God be with you and fly along side you!
It's a shame not everyone survived, my condolences to those who lost their loved ones, and much respect for those pilots having done everything they could given the circumstances.
Let's not overlook the actions of Capitan Fitch who had studied what happened with Japan Flight 123 and knew the tricks the pilots had used to keep the plane aloft. Haynes was reported to take much of the credit in public appearances without thanking Fitch but Fitch kept the plane flying. Even at the end, Haynes was yelling left, which is exactly what the plane could no longer do. RIP to both men - everyone would have died without their collaboration.
As a DOD employee who reworks jet engine parts on a daily basis, This will never happen on my watch. It is so important for proper maintenance and inspections, which is always happening where I work. There are just too many lives @ stake to take any shortcuts.
RIP Captain Al Haynes (and Finch), you will always be remembered for saving over a hundred people. Rest in peace to the ones who weren't so fortunate and their families as well.
The DC-10 had its share of problems when it first came out but they were quickly remedied and it became one of the best heavy planes. Many are still flying today. Some are being used as air tankers fighting forest fires. In the late 70s - early 80s, I flew DC-7 tankers. It takes an incredibly tough plane for tanker service, the turbulence around fires is unbelievable.
I WAS ON THIS FLIGHT SITTING JUST IN FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT WING ON THE RIGHT SIDE.. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS ONE THAT DAY...I REALLY THOUGHT THERE WAS NO CHANCE...I REMEMBER THINKING "WELL,THIS IS IT".. You ain't getting out of this one...how wrong I was....
WOW... Thank you for sharing. I'm very glad you survived! What was that initial "BANG" like when the fan disk let loose???!! I would love to hear more about your experience if you are up for sharing it.
Amazing they made it to the city, or airport, let alone so close & lined up with a runway. Fitch saved them all, at the last second he saw their rate of descent was 'not survivable' and firewalled the throttles.
Great job. I watched the original documentary about this flight, including the intervening of Denny Fitch. It's one of my all-time favorite air crash documentaries. Thanks for taking the time to recreate this incident.
My oldest son flew United and they always took great care of him. He always flew by him self to as his mom and I were divorced.. was just under 4 years old to, It was only a hour and 30 minute flight, My ex rules and mine were simple, a parent at the landing before he took off and the parent when taking off from stayed there till he was in the others hands..Worked out pretty good. I really like and watch all your videos Allec. The best out here.
Timmay & Dogg - Think of the flight hours in his logbook by the time he graduates high school! I could barely drive a train before I turned seven. Ignore Crazy Carol Hutchinson. I call her "Humorless Hutch".
I hope wasting an hour and a half waiting at an airport like an idiot helped make you and your ex feel better for putting your son through all your bull shit. Whatever helps you sleep. If I may say so, keep the kid at the house of the parent who is more well suited to raise a kid, and have the other parent get on a fuckin plane once in a while to visit him. Right?? I dont know you but I can tell youre a douche bag.
+Dogg9 I think the inferrence was that his son's passion for flying began at age 4 as he was flying in jets as a passenger at that age. The piloting came later.
I'm not kidding, but my 8th period Science teacher is Alfred Haynes' niece. She stated how she called him Al when she was younger because she couldn't pronounce Alfred. I decided to look up United Flight 232 and Jesus Christ it's real! Edit: Great Uncle** sorry bout' that
"Valves have been added into DC-10's hydraulic lines so if a rupture occurs, the damaged part could be sealed" Only DC-10s? Or were the DC-10s the only commercial jets without this feature?
You would have had a better chance at trying to steer a car with no arms going down a congested freeway in Los Angeles than these brave souls did flying an airplane without any controls....incredible that they we're actually able to make it to AN AIRPORT! In that condition amazes me. God bless them.
I was lucky enough to here Captain Haynes give a talk about this incident! They were coming in fast, but everything was looking pretty good, until the last few seconds the right wing started to dip. The crew had no time to bring it up, and when it dig into the ground it caused the plane to cartwheel and break apart! Captain Haynes emphasized that the Emergency plan book should always be checked. He stated that even though there may not be a solution to your problem, it is still a good starting point that potentially will help you create your own solution. Very inspirational story! He showed photos of the cockpit, a tangled pile of metal with him stuck in the center. The Fire Department had to cut him out! Ironically the Fire Department had just finished training for a crash landing at at this airport a few days earlier!
Captain Haynes passed away today at age 87. May he rest in peace.
112 souls at least to greet him.
Just read about him.
Brave Man with great sense of humor........RIP Captain
Rest In Peace Captain.
You are a hero.
F
Rest in peace captain
Here because Captain Haynes passed. Because of the actions of these heroes, thousands of people are alive today that otherwise wouldn't be. RIP.
I had the honor of meeting and speaking with capt. Haines years ago at an FAA flight safety seminar. What a great guy and superb pilot.
I suspect those old white-hair guys are the safest. This guy looks a lot like Chesley Sullenburger , the pilot that landed in the river .

When they recreated this in simulators, the plane crashed every time. Testament to the pilots and engineer that prevented a total loss.
I mean the plane still crashed though
The plane did crash though, just not as bad as it could have been.
It's not that it crashed, it's that the other crews lost the plane in a couple of minutes (IIRC). They certainly never made it to the runway.

This is going to be worse than anything you have been through before - This phrase from Hayes is just incredible.

Yeh thats one of them. I can't remember the other one but it's on Allec Joshua Ibay channel where a terrorist involved in the World Trade Center bombings blew up the side of a 747 cutting control cables. However that one the Pilot's had some control of the Aircraft.

Ross TheNinja Yeah that was the government researching it... Still not here.
I cannot believe that after so many years of aviation, total loss of all hydraulics is possible. Triplicating them is little more than a joke, when the lines run side by side and their is no shut off to a ruptured line.
The whole concept needs to be changed. With 3 pumps in different locations, separate layout of separate lines to each function back to the pumps and a shutoff valve to every line.
Although this sounds very complex, it is not. Just more smaller pipes and less big ones. Once properly designed, they would be easier to install than the existing system and the total weight of pipelines being only slightly (if at all) increased. It should not involve significant increased production costs.

PS, I am a chartered design engineer (retired). Although I have no experience in aircraft design, good engineering practice is the same, whatever the application. It was the same sort of stupidity that caused ALL of the nuclear power station disasters.
This air tragedy is tastefully done with proper dignity. How harrowing for the survivors and tremendous sorrow for the loss of passengers and their families and friends. I didn't have dry eyes at the ending of this one. I am by no means a watcher or looker on highways and streets of car accidents. But this was very compelling. Kudos to whomever put this together. Thank you.
For all it's rough edges, this is hands-down the most effective, accurate and undeniably tense portrayal of UA 232 I've ever seen. This was an aeronautical feat that is still widely regarded as simply impossible.
I remember this tragic accident...now in retrospect...im amazed at the crews ability to do what they did. Im a 30 yr plus heavy equipment operator..I can appreciate hand / eye / coordination of controls. I am personally amazed how they handled the air craft with just engines alone .I also had great sorrow for the fear of the passengers.
The fact that the crew was able to even get the plane to an airport is amazing almost on par with the appollo 13 return trip.
Amazing what a cool mind and some very smart people can do under pressure. Landing in Hudson was also a pretty sharp, quick, and well executed recovery from a catastrophic problem. We need to appreciate the well trained pilots and traffic controllers of this country.
I'm in tears, pilots were so brave. RIP Captain Haynes
I remember from another video that the nose section and cockpit broke off and the pilots were calling from the windows. All strapped in but stuck. Also they ended up in a cornfield and later in the search for survivors they found two boys still sitting strapped into their seats that were upright. The boys were alive. A reward was offered for finding the missing fan blade and it was eventually found in a farmers field.
These pilots were the people you want piloting your flight in an emergency (or people of similar airmanship and skill/knowledge.
Riveting production. Watching how it played out helps us appreciate just how perilous this situation was.
Why all the dislikes? This video is amazing! Keep it up..
Haters will always be haters. These videos are about education and safety and saving lives.
I remember watching the news in CA when this was happening.They followed it from first report to the airport in Sioux City.Hospitals prepared for causalities and locals lined up to donate blood.The press was waiting for the plane to land.I watched the crash live on tv. It cartwheeled on the runway and into the cornfield.Heartbreaking because it looked like they all died.But news reports followed telling how many survived.It was a miracle.I was very impressed watching this video and hearing what was going on inside the cockpit.Thank you for posting.
This kind of choked me up for some reason. They did the best they could with what they had available.
Al Haynes is THE MAN! Denny Fitch, glad you were on board
I remember this crash vividly, remember watching it on TV as a teenager. When I watch this video and am reminded more people survived than died, I just shake my head. It's still so unbelievable....
One of the greatest Flight Crews ever, God Speed!
I’ve seen this before. They tried so hard. So intense watching this even if so long ago, still willing for more to survive. Thank God some did survive. God bless the pilots and crew. May those that passed rest in peace.
Thank you for the great job you do in putting these valuable videos together for us.
I was on a Northwest flight back in 1989, a DC-10 traveling from LA to Minneapolis, which suffered the exact same fan disk failure in engine two. We were lucky because the debris did not sever the hydraulic lines. We made an emergency landing in Denver. The pilot got a standing ovation. The entire tail section of the plane looked like it had been riddled with shotgun blasts.
I was hired as an A&P mechanic by United two weeks prior to this incident and spent the next 15 years as a mechanic there. We learned a lot about this type of failure in the ensuing years but the most important is that closer, more precise inspections of the fan rotors, particularly on these General Electric CFM-6 engines, are essential during the regularly scheduled "A" checks. (As an aside, it was suspected that after 9/11/2001 United cried poverty and blamed excessive maintenance costs. The FAA signed off on increasing the flight hours between "A" checks from every 400 hours to every 500 hours.) When the hairline crack in the heavy fan disc, which was spinning at thousands of revolutions per minute, finally let go it really did sever all three hydraulic lines. With no one-way check valves the fluid simply poured out.
Very well organized video.
Left wing stalled at the worst possible time Jim. Otherwise the outcome might have been a little better.
@@shermankelly9062 the left wing didn't stall.
The right wing dipped, and with no ailerons, they put full thrust on 3 to raise the wing back up, but unfortunately, the engine did not spool up soon enough, and the wing caught the ground, and broke off.
The left wing was still flying, and caused it to roll over on it's back, and cartwheel.
Had it not been for that, good chance it would of just over ran the runway into the corn, shear the gear off, and slid to a stop.
Heart breaking that the wing dropped at the last minute, as you said though.
@@alhanes5803 Thanks for the info Al.
@@shermankelly9062 👍
One year, 13 day old me was on that exact plane flying the same route the day before. My luggage got lost and was sent on United 232 the next day. My mom says she got my luggage 3 weeks later. It was burnt but the stuff inside was okay. This video hits a bit harder knowing that.

Wow. I flew into Iowa a day after this crash. The Des Moines Register was full of the story. I remember my folks did not talk about it. I tried not to think about it. This is the first time seeing this video. I watched it thinking of my brother who is now a pilot. I am truly in awe of the intelligence and courage and concentration it takes just to fly a plane let alone go through something like this. May God bless all those involved. RIP all those who perished.
Great video with lots of dignity.
I have recently flown dc-10 as an air force kc-10 tanker. Never thought anything of it, i guess I just trust the pilot and the plane maintenance. It was a fun flight. From Mcguire afb to Yuma airport. 12 hours flight with two fighters refueling along the way.
R.I.P. Captain Al Haynes. He died suddenly on Sunday, August 25, 2019 at the age of 87...
Incredible. Just incredible. Captain Sully and these pilots are the absolute cream of the crop.
I've read countless articles about this accident.......but this video had me on the edge of my seat!!!! Well done sir.
With the build up, I truly hoped this would have been another miracle on the hudson landing, so sad so many died. Well done to the amazing pilots.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Captain Al Haynes. In 1998, he lectured on "preparedness and training", and their role in the management and survival with regards to the crash of UAL 232. At least one-third of that lecture referenced the stellar response by emergency services, the citizenry of Sioux City as a whole, and their factoring into the "unexpectedly high" survival rate of the crash.
I was the Maintenance Manager at a local Hospital in Sioux City. The day the crash occurred, I was on vacation at home when the phone rang announcing a Mass Casualty alert. I put the vacation on hold and went to the Hospital and took charge of my department. A day I will never forget.
I was active duty Navy and flew that day on Delta from Jacksonville (JAX) to Hawaii (HNL) via Atlanta (ATL) to Los Angeles (LAX) and on to HNL. Wasn't a good day for our trip either. Was supposed to fly non-stop on an L1011-500 from ATL. The aircraft had maintenance issues took a two hour delay wound up on a L1011-200. We landed in LAX took off, had a landing gear that did not fully retract dumped fuel and returned to LAX. The plane we were supposed to originally be on came in from Dallas so got on it. We heard about flight 232 in LAX. I taught classes for Embry Riddle in Hawaii and Washington State, we had CAPT Al Haines come and talk to classes on several occasions. That crew did an excellent job just getting that airplane on the ground on an airport.
Had the chance to meet Captain Haynes and thanked him for this. He has always been a personal hero of mine, not just for what he did, but what he and the crew contributed to make flying safer. They set an example that day. We are still learning to follow it. And when faced with something supposedly impossible. you can say "TwoThreeTwo Heavy did more with less, so what are you bitching about?"
I had just started at America West July 1 that year and was in PHX attending new hire ground Ops training (actually I was shopping in the company store) the exact moment the TV in the store cut to a live feed of the crash. America West (HP) served SUX at the time - as did three other carriers. But it was a VERY small field station for us - we had 12 employees, and really there were a total of maybe 60 airline employees between all four carriers. As it happened, three months after the crash I was back in PHX representing DCA in a systemwide CSR council meeting when I happened to be sitting next to the CSR representing SUX right there at the hotel pool. Of course the moment she introduced herself and mentioned where she worked EVERYONE within earshot came to where she was sitting, peppering her with questions about that day. For the next three or four hours (I lost track) she told us in extraordinary detail THE most harrowing story of everything she saw, did, and felt........from the moment she grabbed her still wet jumpsuit from the dryer because the everyone got a phone call to come to the airport immediately........ to how they all stood on the eerily silent ramp in their company jumpsuits (even the station secretary), knowing something terrible was about to happen but not having a clue just how awful it was going to be....... watching, hearing, smelling the -10 as it cartwheeled in flames, hurling itself and everything in it all over the airport and adjacent cornfields.... running (running!) across the ramp toward the burning wreckage strewn across the active runway (the kind of insane thing that only appears in an airline employee’s fever-induced bizarro dream)...... feeling they couldn’t run fast enough...everything in slow motion....all the while not knowing exactly what they were going to find once they got there...... this particular employee Suzanne (aka “shortcake”) was assigned to help run the makeshift survivors center for those passengers with only minor injuries (believe it or not there were quite a few who walked, dazed, from the wreckage)..... she said there was a lot that she saw but couldn’t fully process at that moment (which was a good thing) because it enabled her to keep her wits about here and away from completely freaking out. To this day I remember every single thing she told us about what it was like to be there as it happened. They say the airline industry is one big family, regardless of who you work for. When someone in the family suffers a tragedy, everyone feels it. That day was when I realized that statement was absolutely true.
How about all the high flight hours of the various pilots. Impressive. Another good one Allec. Thanks!
When asked what he'd do different that day, he said.."I'd call in sick.."..lol what a charming hero...
I bet that beer never tasted so good. RIP to the lives lost and God bless those heroic pilots for saving the rest.
This is still an amazing feat of flying by the pilots, even if they still crashed. What they did is the same as driving a speeding car with no brake or steering wheel, its amazing there were survivors.
So true
At least they had their beer didn't they.
+JohnnyBoyGaming Why? They said it
I bet they did
Even if they had, I bet that would be long time after. They need to be mentally recovered and some people were dead.
Some did, yes, but 185 lived to see another day. Given the extremely horrible circumstances, that is definitely a win.
Unfortunately many of those 185 may wish they had died due to
terrible burns and other injuries.Much suffering.
65k + flight hours for these pilots on the cabin, plus a DC10 instructor. What an incredible job they did it is amazing that they could guide the plane that close to the airport with thrust in 2 of the 3 engines only. Heroes.
Personally not a fan of this type of simulator reconstruction, that said this did justice to the situation and accurately represented the situation as I recall it from watching the TV version. Nice job!
This is a brilliantly produced video. Text narration with no VO and the editing of the sim clips makes it absolutely riveting.
What I also commend is his plain speaking about the whole incident that is ensuing, he doesn't steer away or try to lie to his passengers. Al tells them straight and prepares them for the inevitable
Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos. I'm a retired 747 Capt. and have knowledge of many of them. Often airline training departments use accidents as training tools. How about doing Air Transat 236, the Airbus that did a dead stick landing in the Azores at Lajes Air Base.
when someone lies
Not sure what your statement is meant for.
+GamingGuy How do you know he's a liar?
chezbizo
God bless Denny Fitch and Cpt Haynes. They did everything they could in an impossible landing. Thank-you for your service Captain Kevin. One pilot to another.
I live in the region where this flight originated. Seeing the footage of the barbaric touchdown gives me chills every time. First heard about it nearing the 25th anniversary. Shout out to the pilots for doing the best they could given the worst of circumstances.
Such heroic efforts by a dedicated air crew!
Well done! I had watched this on '30 secconds from disaster' or a similar series, but I was still hooked on your video. Replaying it within a flight simulator with the real footage at the end is a great accomplishment in editing and made it very compelling. The silent commentary strengthened has a sobering effect. Thank you very much!
Dude, you do an amazing job with these videos. Very thorough!
Revisiting this one. Still amazed about what this guys did.
FMD! i was shitting myself just watching this. Imagine being a passenger on the plane. Terrifying.
Yeah. If you survived imagine the burns...
Search youtube...there are some good interviews with the passengers and they recount the experience. Most credit the experience of the crew for their lives. Sadly, there was a young girl who was saved from the wreckage by another passenger on this plane that committed suicide. Very tragic.
Yes, some were burned and injured badly, but amazingly, many passengers were completely unscathed.
Fuz Capp i was in Qantas 32 and it was scary
Awesome job on Captain Al Haynes and Denny Fitch much love and respect to both of them.. RIP... Danny Fitch off-duty DC-10 captain was doing the throttles for Al Haynes
Gone but not forgotten
RIP Captain Fitch. There are still aviation geeks that think you're a hero for doing as much as you did.
My Cousin and her 3 children survived This plane crash she was able to get two of her children out of the body of the plane they were in and went back in to free her son John. . both died from inhaling the smoke , So many lives where changed from this plane crash and changes made with the design of this plane.
Sadly miss my cousin Ruth and her son John
Wally P God bless them. So sorry.
I’m so sorry, heartbreaking 😔 RIP
There is a DC10 perched at Exposition State Park. I bicycle under it when I visit the museum. I will remember what the crew and captain did, the existential laughs, and thank God I am alive and my disabled son, bikes with me like speed freaks down Figuerora. Thank you for making this video, my son's middle name is Joshua. May God be with you and fly along side you!
Among your best so far. Keep up the good work.
Allec Joshua..... you are a credit to humanity, thanks man
Captain Haines had tremendous professional experience. I guess that this made him so outstanding.
It's a shame not everyone survived, my condolences to those who lost their loved ones, and much respect for those pilots having done everything they could given the circumstances.
good video, had me on edge
OMG YOUR EVERYWHERE ON ALLEC JOSHUA IBAY TO POPULARMMOS
+Yemin the lemon Bro, he's Clorox bleach. Clorox bleach gets into everything.
AND MR BEAST
+Yemin the lemon ikr
I love to drink you!!!!!!
Jeez - impossible to believe anybody walked away from that one. What amazing pilots.
I was dragged off this flight before it took off, thank goodness
NFLD_Raider • Keep misbehaving and you'll likely outlive everyone here. Then again, your life would be such a drag ... :-P
gomphrena lol
NFLD_Raider When were you really born then? If it was after the 19th of July in 1989, then it’s a lie.
NFLD_Raider pics or diddnt happen

Let's not overlook the actions of Capitan Fitch who had studied what happened with Japan Flight 123 and knew the tricks the pilots had used to keep the plane aloft. Haynes was reported to take much of the credit in public appearances without thanking Fitch but Fitch kept the plane flying. Even at the end, Haynes was yelling left, which is exactly what the plane could no longer do. RIP to both men - everyone would have died without their collaboration.
As a DOD employee who reworks jet engine parts on a daily basis, This will never happen on my watch.
It is so important for proper maintenance and inspections, which is always happening where I work.
There are just too many lives @ stake to take any shortcuts.
there were no short cutts
This is one that I never get tired of hearing about. What a story of HEROISM!!
Ironic that the rugged design of the DC 10 actually ended up saving lives in this situation
RIP Captain Al Haynes (and Finch), you will always be remembered for saving over a hundred people. Rest in peace to the ones who weren't so fortunate and their families as well.
DC-10- The Plane with cursed history.
"The plane with a cursed but remedied history"
if dc-10 is bad, and then they made a better one (md-11) why md-11 still got taken down?
the thug guy
The DC-10 is an amazing airliner. If not, then the L-1011 would have probably taken its spot, which never happened.
In my opinion, worst aircraft ever.
The DC-10 had its share of problems when it first came out but they were quickly remedied and it became one of the best heavy planes. Many are still flying today.
Some are being used as air tankers fighting forest fires. In the late 70s - early 80s, I flew DC-7 tankers. It takes an incredibly tough plane for tanker service, the turbulence around fires is unbelievable.
I watched this one on TV's "Mayday". It WAS amazing.
Yeah. The pilots were heroic.
I WAS ON THIS FLIGHT SITTING JUST IN FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT WING ON THE RIGHT SIDE..
I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS ONE THAT DAY...I REALLY THOUGHT THERE WAS NO CHANCE...I REMEMBER THINKING "WELL,THIS IS IT"..
You ain't getting out of this one...how wrong I was....
WOW... Thank you for sharing. I'm very glad you survived! What was that initial "BANG" like when the fan disk let loose???!!
I would love to hear more about your experience if you are up for sharing it.
This is an awesome video.
And a sad ending too.
Why all the dislikes?
WTF...
Amazing they made it to the city, or airport, let alone so close & lined up with a runway. Fitch saved them all, at the last second he saw their rate of descent was 'not survivable' and firewalled the throttles.
Treat people with respect, you never know when it's your time to go.
Most highly experienced pilots on the cockpit ... I love this Allec continue with your good work
Well done video! Very sad though! Thank God some people did survive!
Thank the pilots!
Great job. I watched the original documentary about this flight, including the intervening of Denny Fitch. It's one of my all-time favorite air crash documentaries. Thanks for taking the time to recreate this incident.
Pilots like these lead to today's safe aviation record
Allec, thank you so much for these making these videos.
My oldest son flew United and they always took great care of him. He always flew by him self to as his mom and I were divorced.. was just under 4 years old to, It was only a hour and 30 minute flight, My ex rules and mine were simple, a parent at the landing before he took off and the parent when taking off from stayed there till he was in the others hands..Worked out pretty good. I really like and watch all your videos Allec. The best out here.
+Timmay14a&Dogg9: The child was a passenger, not a pilot. Power up brain please.
Timmay & Dogg - Think of the flight hours in his logbook by the time he graduates high school! I could barely drive a train before I turned seven.
Ignore Crazy Carol Hutchinson. I call her "Humorless Hutch".
I hope wasting an hour and a half waiting at an airport like an idiot helped make you and your ex feel better for putting your son through all your bull shit. Whatever helps you sleep.
If I may say so, keep the kid at the house of the parent who is more well suited to raise a kid, and have the other parent get on a fuckin plane once in a while to visit him. Right??
I dont know you but I can tell youre a douche bag.
I know...really? From what part of Colorado where these posters?
+Dogg9 I think the inferrence was that his son's passion for flying began at age 4 as he was flying in jets as a passenger at that age. The piloting came later.
I'm not kidding, but my 8th period Science teacher is Alfred Haynes' niece. She stated how she called him Al when she was younger because she couldn't pronounce Alfred. I decided to look up United Flight 232 and Jesus Christ it's real!
Edit: Great Uncle** sorry bout' that
I’ve seen this video probably 6 times. Every time it’s a nail biter! Thanks for posting.
"Valves have been added into DC-10's hydraulic lines so if a rupture occurs, the damaged part could be sealed"
Only DC-10s? Or were the DC-10s the only commercial jets without this feature?
Probably other aircraft were fitted with the feature as well.
Yeah, I'd like to think so.
standard on the L1011 and it had four hyd systems
Steve C
I guess the engine at the back hit so many controls, rudder, stabiliser........
You would have had a better chance at trying to steer a car with no arms going down a congested freeway in Los Angeles than these brave souls did flying an airplane without any controls....incredible that they we're actually able to make it to AN AIRPORT! In that condition amazes me. God bless them.
I was lucky enough to here Captain Haynes give a talk about this incident! They were coming in fast, but everything was looking pretty good, until the last few seconds the right wing started to dip. The crew had no time to bring it up, and when it dig into the ground it caused the plane to cartwheel and break apart!
Captain Haynes emphasized that the Emergency plan book should always be checked. He stated that even though there may not be a solution to your problem, it is still a good starting point that potentially will help you create your own solution. Very inspirational story!
He showed photos of the cockpit, a tangled pile of metal with him stuck in the center. The Fire Department had to cut him out!
Ironically the Fire Department had just finished training for a crash landing at at this airport a few days earlier!
Oh how great he lived! Shit luck for all those kids though hey? Just glad some old men survived.

That's the way random luck works.
