Who else has been binge watching these here and there during Covid
I am
Me LOL! It’s addicting. I can’t stop watching. Also, did they say if anyone on this flight perished or got injured? I must have missed that part.
Yup
Me
Why you have to bring Covid into a flight video?
I can’t even imagine how much pressure crews around the world have to deal with everyday when it comes to being on time, saving fuel, etc... 😖
It's evil imho.
I suppose they write it off as collateral damage. Which is even more evil ...
Imagine driving and minding your business but then *a whole airplane crashes on your car*
I live in Chicago, moved here in '14. I had to drive down Cicero, which is the road it crashed onto, for work every day for 4 years. I remember telling my boss how freaked out I get every time a plane lands over my head. And I mean the runway is literally just beyond the sidewalk so when the planes land across 63rd and Cicero they are practically in the intersection with you. Always was a fear of mine they'd clip a traffic light or overshoot the runway if landing from the other side. She told me it happened before and this is must be the incident she was talking about. The runway is literally in the middle of everything. The video is actually very realistic if you watch when the plane lands it's literally houses and then the runway is on the other side of the street. Cicero aka (IL RT 50) obviously a major street, is just on the other side of the block.
Hey boss, comin in work late today because I crashed into a fucking jetliner.
JASODAShow dang why would someone want a house right under those planes... gotta be annoying and scary
Or even just in front of it. Seeing that thing coming towards to must have been so bizarre.
Ill take the airplane then
But for real though I’m so addicted to your videos it’s not healthy anymore
Yeet same
Sev Art me too
Right?
Me too
Upgrade. Go to Motocross crashes.
“Diverting would have caused missed connections and inconvenience for the passengers.”
I suppose overrunning a runway is a better option. I mean hey, at least you’re near the airport.
More like inconvenience for the airline
Bye bye 737
@@ericgu9036 it actually is still in action as they repaired it
Fluffy -Fluffy ya well hindsight is 20/20 bud
Those kinds of calls are hard to make. If it's doable, the computer simulator said it was, and if a reasonable pilot if put in a similar condition is capable then your own piloting abilities will be brought into question and possibly fired. Companies don't want to lose money. And they would have made it if they didn't forget to put down the reverse.
you forgot to put *"In memory of Joshua Woods, who died in the accident."*
Who was Joshua Woods; was he on-board SW Flight 1248, or on the ground?
@@josephstevens9888 He was on the ground. A 6 year old boy.
@@ILikeTuwtles I see. What a tragedy. Thank you for the response.
Thank you; I was thinking the same thing. I'm from the Chicago area, and my husband & I are actually part of SW Airlines Rapid Rewards Program, so we are very familiar with the not-so-great runways at Midway. I remember when this happened; it was actually on my little sister's 18th birthday. My heart broke when I found out that a child lost his life when the plane went off the runway on to Cicero Ave & struck the car in which he was sitting. 💔 My prayers are with him and with his family. Thank you for honoring his memory. ❤️
Yeah this video never even said if everyone survived, or how many died, just nothing. Plane crashed into the road and came to rest in the intersection, then the NTSB reasons for the crash. THE END.
nice video!
Passengers 98
Crew 5
Fatalities 1 (on ground)
Injuries 12 (9 on ground)
Survivors 103 (all on board aircraft)
lenny108 thank you
No expert here,but the delay in applying reverse thrust was the main
contributing factor in this particular accident.Hopefully no one was seriously injured.
Another great job by this channel👍!
Season 3 is HERE! ☺️
Amazing work, but there is an english title issue. "How 15 Seconds Could Have Prevented this Boeing 737 (from crashing)"
Just wondering why you didn't mention the casualties from the crash in the video?
@@timbrwolf1121 - I'm not sure from your comment what you're asking about because you say there is an "issue" with the title but you don't explain what the issue is. But, if you're thinking about the part: "How 15 Seconds Could Have Prevented ..." and are asking: "What was the 15 seconds that could have prevented the crash?"
Look at the video again, here: 06:57, and here: 07:08.
Both of the pilots forgot to engage the thrust reversers upon touchdown. The second officer noticed this sometime later and activated the thrust reversers 15 seconds after touchdown. Full deployment of the thrust reversers occured about 18 seconds after touchdown and about 500 ft from runway overrun. NTSB ruled the crash was a direct result of the delay in activating the thrust reversers.
So, the "15 seconds that could have prevented ..." means if the thrust reversers were activated 15 seconds earlier, the plane wouldn't have crashed.
@@GFlCh I corrected the issue in my comment it is in parentheses. I suppose I should have listed the original wording first for reference
Air Inter 148 please :-)
I remember driving home during this storm. A 1 hour commute turned into a 3.5 hour commute that day.
wow, 1 hour is long enough of a commute
Anyone else watching this and screaming in their heads - "USE THE F**KING THRUST REVERSERS!!!!" - ?
With all the darn auto this and auto that and technology, it's like pilots aren't piloting anymore. General observation from watching too many of these.
The brakes must have been on fire....
Nope. I am screaming why Midway Airport allowed that runway to be open and used with 8 inches of snow. Fair to poor? Bullshit. How about NIL? Give the crew the info and they likely divert somewhere else. Simple as that.
The 8 inches snow were in the surrounding areas.. not on the actual runway.
yes and I also scream in my head : use parachutes to slow down in emergencies!!! idiots!!
Too many pilots in a hurry to land the plane rather than taking their time and making sure they land the plane safely. It's more important to be late and land alive than to try to rush the landing and be dead.
The other end of the stick is just as dangerous....super careful captain landing at portland oregon....killed a bunch of people.
It’s an illness called « getthereitis » commonly : trying to land no matter what.
Landing in snow and cruddy braking with a TAILWIND? How is that EVER a good idea?
To be fair, this was more so the fault of the pilots for thinking that an "autobraking" system would do all the work for them (reverse thrust included). If the pilots had manually engaged the reverse thrust as soon as the wheels hit the ground, no accident would have occurred.
I'm not a pilot, but I have several friends who are. FlightChannel is, by far, the most compelling channel I know of that really puts "you" in the pilot seat, to get a clear story about what happened in these crash and emergency examples. Of course, now I'm completely addicted to binge watching these videos . . . gasp . . .
I didn't see the "Everyone survived" line!
I'd love to see it (or otherwise when there were casualties unfortunately).
That brings me a closure to each episode.
(Added) I found out a sad truth from comments below a 6-year old boy on the ground died from this accident. This should have been mentioned in the vid like you always do, TFC... RIP Joshua Woods.
Jason S I think maybe more overnight than international on FC’s part. Yes it should have been mentioned but I personally get from this is no one died on the plane itself. People can survive a plane crash. And changes are usually made after an investigation so there is less likely hood of this happening again.
Thankyou for adding the obvious, I too was wondering and hoping there were no fatalities , I thank-you also for the feedback very sad about the child that was killed ...
I was happy when I saw the airplane intact until I saw ur comment ,innocent soul may he Rest In Peace
dean winchester I was wondering too, now wish I hadn’t known as a have a young son. So sad
I'm sure his parents got paid
A little 6 year old boy die due to this terrible tragedy. I live in Chicago and saw then the streets were closed off. It was so sad.
Have always been fascinated about planes. Now addicted to TFC videos. Hate other long videos but can be glued to your channel for hours. Learning a lot too. Very good work!!! Always waiting for more videos. Thank you for making such videos. Beautifully done!!
A lot of unanswered questions: what happened to the pilots? Was the aircraft returned to service? I know there was one fatality on the ground, but it wasn't mentioned.
The aircraft returned to the service although the registered number changed from N471WN to N286WN
I am unsure what happened to the pilots though
@@pyeonghwa0115 why did they change the registration though?
@@Tzshchsjsjxijyo don’t know
@Peaceful Guide 평화로운가이드 they changed the registration for PR reasons. if the passengers who saw the crash on TV realized they were about to board a plane that had crashed and caused a fatality they would freak out and refuse to board. it's not the first time an airline has done that.
Reverse thrusters soon after landing would have been nice pilots. That's kind of a no brainer
We all know you would have landed the plane perfectly, but really it's easy to judge someone else's work from the safety of your computer. They had to make that decision in a snowstorm while utilizing an unfamiliar breaking system and pressure from the company to land at all costs.
Wyoing adventures bruh do you know how hard is it to fly a freaking plane if u would have fly the plane u would have crashed it in a sec
@@wyomingptt It doesn't state how many flight hours the pilot had, but he's 59 so lets assume many thousands, including hundreds or thousands of landings where he used reverse thrusters on dry and clear days, why it would have slipped his mind on a day where he absolutely needed it is beyond me.
It also doesn't state whether he was lying about it being stuck or whether it was his fault, but the co-pilot apparently didn't have any trouble.
Reversers commit the landing. Probably they didn't activate them until aborting the landing was no longer a viable option
Yeah bunch of incompetent pilots
Just another great example for how brilliant your videos, no movies, are. Keep that style!
Gust I b
Noticed that this happened exactly 33 years to the day after United Flight 553 crashed into several houses while approaching Midway's runway 31L in equally crapulent weather. 43 of 55 on the plane died, and somehow only two on the ground, even though several houses were destroyed and/or damaged. I have watched a great many of your videos recently - quarantine hobby - and always learn something new. Thank you for the time and effort. However, I am quite disappointed that you failed to include an "In memory of..." regarding the loss of life resulting from this crash.
"The options (diverting 10 min away) would have entailed considerable additional expense for southwest, as well as missed connections and significant inconvenience for the flight's passengers" I think it is safe to say that crashing entails an even greater expense to an airline and poses a greater inconvenience for passengers, especially if they would have died...and I'm pretty sure that they missed their connections anyway.
Right😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Easy to say when you’re not the one affected by it. I just drive buses and I go through some of this to keep people on time

I never knew the complexity of flying a plane and how the simplest error can end in death or injuries. Great content.
I retired from SWA 5 years before this accident. Been in and out of Midway more times than I can count. The NTSB is correct, when I was at SWA we never used the auto brake system. I have no idea how much training was involved when the airline did go that route! I do know how the system works, however, because the airline I flew for before being annexed by SWA did use the auto brake system. The procedure is use the thrust reverse as soon as the main gear touched down and the spoiler deploy. Auto brakes apply inversely to the amount of thrust reverse being used. The heavier the reverse thrust the less brake applied. As trust reverse is decreased below 80 knots the brakes become more effective. As I recall, even set at max, auto brake activation depends in some degree on the use of reverse thrust. As I recall, even set at max, auto brakes do not go to max at touchdown speeds, to prevent overheating. Which would explain why the crew determined braking was inadequate. It has been over 26 years since I last used the 737 auto brake system. The failure to use reverse thrust as recommended is at the heart of this accident.
I don't know anything about aviation but these videos are so fascinating. Keep them coming! 👍
Thanks man, I appreciate 😊
Yep!Thrust reversers should have been deployed immediately upon touchdown,especially in those conditions!
Top video channel👍!
Well done . . . the weather conditions are displayed much more realistically . . . looking forward to your next production, Thanks. Bob
The "psychological pressure to complete his assigned task" didn't prevent Sully from putting his plane down onto the Hudson.
Midway airport is in the middle if a neighborhood, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often..
yeah midway in good weather is shit but in a Chicago winter? fuck that go into ORD
I’ve been binge watching this channel and I don’t feel the need to get on a plane any time soon.
When I was in the United Ststes Air Force, my last 8 years was working for the Armed Forces Medical Examiners Office as a photographer and as autopsy tech. We would travel the world doing fatal Military aircraft accidents, U.S. citizens killed by terrorist and other murder investigations with the FBI, ATF and the State Department. The largest aircraft accident that I was involved with was in December of 1985 when an Arrow Air Stretch DC8 crashed in Gander, NewFoundland. 247 individuals were on board. The passengers were members of the 101 Airborne Division, stationed at Fort Campbell, KY. They were returning home after being deployed in the Sinai region on peace keeping duty. They left the Sinsi and traveled to Colon, Germany for a fuel stop. Also one member got off there to take leave. His brother was stationed in Germany at the time and he was authorized to take leave there. After leaving Germany, they arrived in Gander to refuel for there last leg of the trip to Kentucky. While at Gander, they were on the ground for approximately one and a half hours to refuel and replenish the food service etc. Of course after being away for a year, some called home talking to there wife, girl friends saying that they were in Canada and would be home in a few hours. Also in the gift store in the terminal Some of the troops bought the shirts that said, "I survived Gander, NewFoundland,"
During the refueling a light rain was falling and freezing to the aircraft and the crew refused deicing. Other factors adding up to the mishap was that the plane was overloaded with all of their equipment in the hold which also included their Medical and Dentsl records and when they estimated the weight of passengers they used a standard formula not taking in the fact that these where larger individuals and not a normal size person. So they were way off on their calculations. After everyone was seated back on board, the plane taxied out to the runway for take off. As they went down the runway and rotated they were already in trouble. The aircraft stalled and went down into a steep ravine hitting tail first where 5 passenger came out as the aircraft continued over a ridge exploded in flames killing everyone on board. The five who came out when the tail section broke away were the only ones
not consumed in the post crash fire. With everyone on board that continued over the ridge were burnt way beyond recognition. Making identification even worse was the majority of those on board the aircraft were aged 18 to 24. All the bodies where bagged by the RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted police and sent to Dover AFB, Deleware. There everyone was autopsied. Of course at the dental area, jaws and Maxillias were removed from the bodies and documented as any Dentist would do during an exam. Since all the dental records were also burnt up and gone, they had to contact Mom. and Dad and others to retrieve their pre-military medical and dental records along with any xrays on any thing that they were xrayed for. Now this was all done prior to DNA. Now days when everyone who goes into the military are swabbed so for cases like this and battle field ID.. it took us up to the end of March 1986 to the beginning of April to finally have all ID..What a horrible 4 months we all spent at Dover and I also spent the Month of January at the crash site. Thsnk God for Gortex because some days got below minus 50 degrees. My last big detail I did before returning was Desert Storm. We killed more of our own troops due to friendly fire then those killed in action by the enemy. During those years I was placed in some dangerous predicaments especially on aircraft accidents in the mountains deep valleys in water and at sea on ships. One time we had a helicopter that crashed on the fantail of a naval ship and when they flew us out to the ship which was still under way in the Mediterranean, we were powered down to the ship by the cable. You want to talk about having a tight asshole, that happened to all three of us. None of us ever D.C. one that before. And doing it in the ocean onto the deck of a moving ship, oh hell no. Then we had to stay on board the ship until it docked 2 days later in Sicily.
That's such an intriguing & interesting read...thank you for sharing! I can't imagine all the things you have seen & done in dealing with the aftermath of horrific accidents. It takes a truly special person to be able to do things like that. I genuinely appreciate your service to our country. Thank you for your sacrifice. Glad you made it back home safely.

Im really hoping that captain lost his job for trying to cover up his mistake resulting in a young boys death 😢
Both pilots lost their jobs
Most people would try and cover it up to be honest
The captain being 59 years old was months away from mandatory retirement at 60.
Mark B Fensler Imagine flying for so long only to have a accident just a few months before you retire
@@abandonedchannel281 Imagine only having 6 years of life. Frankly, the Captain's woes in this case are inconsequential.
8:50- "The captain claimed the reverser levers were stuck"......Yeah mate, and I'm Mary Poppins..;)
Thrust reverser have lockout logic to prevent them from being deployed in the air. If the aircraft weight on wheels sensors aren't sensing weight due to strut compression from a soft landing the thrust reversers will be locked out. The plane I fly has 3 criteria that have to be met I order for the thrust reversers to be deployed which is probably why the Captain could not get the thrust reversers out right away. You should probably stick to flying your umbrella Ms Poppins.
@@SasquatchTour In that case, the plane must have had a design fault that prevented the reversers deploying.
@@tungstenkid2271 if the first officer was able to get the thrust reversers deployed later during the rollout then the system was most likely working properly. If it wasn't it would be noted in the NTSB report. I haven't looked at the report so I have no idea if the system did or did not malfunction but many past runway excursions are due to soft touchdowns which prevent the thrust reversers from deploying for about 3 to 5 seconds after touchdown. Because of this crash short or contaminated runways require firm touchdowns at least from the operating manuals from the airlines I know of.
@@SasquatchTour Maybe there should be a manual switch to deploy the reversers rather than automated deployment.That way the captain or FO could hit the deploy button the instant the wheels touched..:)
@@tungstenkid2271 thrust reverser deployment is manual. The lockout is a mechanical device in the thrust levers prevent the pilots from inadvertently selecting reverse thrust in flight. The landing distance pilots use to calculate if the runway is legal to land on with the current conditions does not include thrust reverser performance to provide a built in margin in case they don't deploy or only one deploys which would compromise directional control on contaminated or wet runways.
Thanks for these videos. I struggle with a fear of flying, and somehow this is comforting, to understand how the plane is flown for better or for worse.
A young boy was Killed and others on the ground were injured;
The NTSB preliminary report determined that the aircraft touched down in the touchdown zone of the runway with 4,500 feet (1,400 m) of its 6,522-foot (1,988 m) length remaining; under the prevailing conditions of weather, wind, speed, and weight, the aircraft needed 5,300 feet (1,600 m) of runway to stop safely.[9]
A preliminary NTSB advisory says: "The flying pilot (Captain) stated that he could not get the reverse thrust levers out of the stowed position. The first officer, after several seconds, noticed that the thrust reversers were not deployed, and activated the reversers without a problem. Flight data recorder information reveals that the thrust reversers were not deployed until 18 seconds after touchdown, at which point there was only about 1,000 feet (300 m) of usable runway remaining."[7]
The 737 skidded during landing; subsequently, witnesses said the nosegear collapsed and the aircraft crashed into a barrier wall surrounding the airport, coming to rest on Central Avenue just south of the 55th Street intersection at the northwestern corner of the airport. The intersection was full of traffic, and the airplane hit at least three cars, killing a six-year-old boy named Joshua Woods, critically injuring five occupants of one car (two adults and three children), and seriously injuring four occupants of a second car. All were quickly taken to area hospitals. Three passengers from the aircraft were taken to hospitals with minor injuries. All told, twelve people were taken to hospitals after the incident. One other car hit was parked and unoccupied.[10]

. thank you for the info left unsaid by the producer. It was very fortunate there were no additional casualties in the street.
Midway is too short. They should have been diverted to O'hare where it is very much bigger. When I lived near, I remember that only small aircraft went to Midway because of sliding off the runways! Now they use it again for larger aircraft. Stupid! A preventable accident! GO TO O'HARE!!!!! greedy people! Thanks for the info. God bless
This is something that is normally missing from his videos is a text report of what happened (video is still very good)
yeah you just copied this from Wikipedia
@@hamzahabib5644 That's correct usually I reference this by saying " per Wikipedia "

i know this is an extreme conditions scenario, but i was flying on two different Southwest Airlines 737s from Detroit to Baltimore than Baltimore to Charlotte, and it’s kinda scary and humanizing how fragile our lives are and how 15 seconds can make you live or die. be humble.
you flying has nothing to do with this video.
Please bring the old music back! That's the essence of your channel. It's synonymous with your videos now. Please consider this.
people always say that but they never listen.
Yes!!!
Better yet, narrate the video.
You bugging
Manic piano at the end is annoying. As are the incessant ads which really ruin the flow of the films.
rIP peace young man I did not untill watching this video and reading the comments know there had been a ground death.You are remembered
After binging several episodes, it seems December is a bad month to fly. I wonder if someone made a list or graph showing if there are certain days, months or times where more happens than average. And if course the other way around.
Thanks for the GREAT videos! I particularly enjoyed the few with voice over narration. It improves the viewing quality on small screens
It's more the weather conditions than the time of year. Flying in the Northeast in the winter is a challenge, but it is normally perfect weather for flying in the South. On the other hand, summer flying in the South can be treacherous because of thunderstorms. Pilots have to be prepared for bad weather at any time of the year.
@@katazack thanks. Makes sense
starting season 3 with an absolutely amazing video, i see? i remember coming across your channel a long time ago, but then i stopped using that account, but thanks to youtube's recommendation system, i rediscovered it! also i really love how you're implementing more real-life clips of airplanes relative to the time period of the crash that is spotlighted in the video, keep up the great work 👍
To not mention the fatality caused by the crash is disrespectful to the victim and his family. The aircraft didn't just plow into "some cars." Pilot error killed a young child.
The dude made the video for your enjoyment and this is all you have to say?
sonador777 was it disrespectful or, perhaps, just overlooked? i'm not jumping on the "disrespect train" with you.
Maybe the family asked that he not mention it for some reason.
@@marer1000 If you think the only reason this video was made was for our enjoyment, you don't understand RUclips.
@@cannedheat300 I do enjoy these videos. But since most of the text was copied from Wikipedia, there's no way the video creator didn't know.
I was on the flight that landed at Midway just before this one did. My flight was the first to use the runway after it was reopened for snow removal and plowing. Why did you not mention the poor little boy who lost his life??? Your video is a historical record of what happened so future people in aviation can learn from this event. Please do not delete events and facts like that. Some people will get upset with you but it is real history and you are making a video about real history. I have watched many of your videos and I believe your are doing a huge service to help keep the aviation community safe. All and All I would say you are doing a good job. Thank you for the video.
Thank you. I enjoy these videos, but it’s really sad that the child’s death wasn’t mentioned. May he Rest In Peace. 😢💔
And whoever put a runway perpendicular to a busy highway is a genius!

once on deplaning at Midway I asked the pilot if this was always a "white knuckle landing", the answer was "yes"! When I was learning to fly, my instructor and I shot some touch'n goes at this airport one night in a Citabria, very easy, lotta fun!
Your channel keeps becoming better and better! 👏👌
YASSSS! SESON 3 IS HERE! YAY! Congrats TFC! Love the vids! Keep up the good work!

Why is there no mention of the fatality that occurred as a result of SWA flight 1248 failed landing ???
I love the thorough details of these videos! Keep up the good work!
I grew up near the south-side, I remember seeing this on TV.
Hearing the real story behind it is quite interesting. I feel bad for those pilots with the pressures to land.
Still, divergence to another airport is way less expensive than a crash.
Stunning, hyper-realistic graphics. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you!

The pilots chose to overrun a 737 into a road and having a kid _dead_ (RIP), over diverting to a safer airport or deploying thrust reversers...
Not sure how I missed this one? So well done again! Thank you for the great content!
In this case the first pilot stated he could not 'get the thrust reversers to deploy' for a while. His attempts however may not have started before 15 seconds had passed already after touch-down; based on the story we cannot tell with any certainty. The NTSB report stated the pilots were struggling too much with the plane's new 'auto-break-system' to pay due attention to the thrust reversers. According to this statement it is likely that the two pilots did not pay attention to deploying the thrust reversers until 15 seconds after touch-down, that then initially it was the captain who attempted to engage them only to find he had difficulty doing so, and that all in all it took another 3 seconds for the second pilot to actually get them engaged. Also the NTSB report stated both pilots were forced to work under considerable pressure which also went so far as to undermine their freedom to make accurate safety assessments, and also they were poorly trained and not informed sufficiently about the new system. Still they may have been at fault and they clearly should have shown better awareness of local conditions. It is a as if they were used to flying so routinely they completely forgot about this being a short runway. Seems they just didn't think they needed to spend a thought on the matter. That being a human glitch of the type we are all capable of, and although it actually SHOULD not be necessary, as we are all able to make mistakes and they may weigh heavily on the outcome in a case like this, and as it is better to be safe than sorry air traffic control of course COULD remind pilots (and maybe in hindsight should have reminded THESE pilots) that they are about to land on a (very) short runway AND that they should not forget to deploy the thrust reversers. Now I personally do not know much about the do's and dont's of avionic communication and I therefore wouldn't know if that would be considered an infringement onto the pilot's discretion though, or even would be thought of as offensive, or rude! Maybe if that would be the case, it should be considered to simply make it mandatory and integrated in protocol that in cases where there is above average risk involved, additional warnings should be relayed by the tower to planes that are about to land. Like in this case where a runway was involved that is much shorter than pilots might be used to based on their experiences ~especially under hazardous weather conditions.
Fantastic video once again! Keep up the good work 👍
It would be interesting to know more details. For example, what happened to the cockpit crew? In many of these videos where they survive, there's never any information about what happened to their jobs.
That's not really any of our business.
@@mehere8299 It would be nice to know.
@@haiqalzaki5113 definitely
@@mehere8299 baloney. Pilots are like doctors... post their stupidity for all to see..
I wonder what my cat Galileo would have made of these videos, she loved engine noises. She passed away in 2015 at the ripe old age of nearly 19(!), but I can imagine her sitting on my desk watching these.
Midway was built for DC3's a very long time ago. Very small airport completely surrounded by densely populated areas. Diagonal runways end at major street intersections. I am always nervous when landing there. Always aggressive braking and reversers every landing I experienced there. Was only place SWA flew in Chicago until recently. Glad they made improvements.
A minor correction to your title: "How 15 Seconds Could Have Prevented this Boeing 737 from Crashing".
Explanation - when moving toward a certain outcome use "to" - e.g "attempt to reach the goal"
When avoiding a certain outcome, use "from" - eg. "prevent from falling off".
Apart from this trivial mistake - congrats on the expert rendering and sound!
Im addicted to your channel, I've been watching all day, Your work is amazing.
Love this channel not in a morbid way! It always relaxes me and i could fall asleep to the engines. Thank you tfc for such great videos!
Yes, the sound of the engines is relaxing...UNTIL THE COMMERCIALS COME ON!!!
Your videos are SPECTACULAR! I’m enthralled by the flight “simulation” and you, at times, include the actual transmission from the cockpit. I fly Southwest every 3 months from DFW to Tulsa and never have had a problem. I’m blind and the staff and crew have ALWAYS treated me very well assisting me to and from the gate to and from the terminal.
I know when the aircraft employs the landing gear, the reverse thrusters as my hearing is heightened due to my lack of eyesight. When I heard FL 1248 I froze. That was a number I’ve flown recently ;not this flight). Flying is safer than even driving but I always get that pit in my stomach at takeoff and landing as how can a HUGE aircraft get lift to get off the ground and the pitch forward as you land. I know it’s aerodynamics.
Doesn’t make me scared to fly, I’ve always been in good hands not knowing if they are deadheading to Tulsa or if this is their 7th leg of the day.
Thank you for you amazing work. I’m addicted to these videos! How some planes make it and some don’t is beyond me. I’ll continue to fly SW as it has ALWAYS got me safely to my destination.
THANK YOU! ✈️🛫🛬
I'm sooo fascinated with planes and I wanna be a pilot
Or you can be an engineer and can design/make those planes.
@@gaming4life25 or be an aeronautics engineer and fly/test out those planes
Good luck m8
Same
Linda F but be careful don’t do the same
these videos make me more and more scared to fly :( but i cant stop watching them
Flying is still safer than driving.
drdremacdre3 : statistically the most dangerous part of flying is the drive to the airport...
@@hisxmark It's only safer because not as many planes in the air as cars on the ground.
@@jamesblunt1915 The statistics are based on miles traveled. But more fatalities are experienced on the way to the airport than in the actual flying.
hisxmark So you’re really going to compare a plane flying in the air at different height, and no planes around them for miles. Plus it’s on auto pilot 90% of a flight.To a car that could be surrounded by several hundred cars, all of whom are operated by people of varying degrees of skill. Let alone different degrees of awareness thanks to the cell phone. Sorry but I’m not buying those stats.
Always Great quality videos man
Did the same thing at ORD in a B727 in 30+ inches of snow. Except we slid sideways about 2/3 the way down the runway, causing the landing gear to collapse. We then did a 180 or so, went off the runway, through the perimeter fence and into a warehouse. Just bumps and bruises for the passengers, so they called it a fender-bender.
"I picked a bad day to stop sniffin' glue." actual CVR transcript of flight 1248.
Are you serious?
I've been binge watching these videos, and seems to me 99.9% of the time it's either human error/negligence that brings that these incidents occur. Sad >:0
HAL knew what was up:

I watch these videos every night they are well put together and I find them fascinating
This is my guilty pleasure. Your channel rocks !
Why do they have a highway off the end of the runway? That area should be flat, highways, no ditches, no trees, no buildings, nothing. All airports seem to have some BS off the end of the runway. At most they could have a fence to keep people out of the airport and runway, but make it a brake away fence. This would save a lot of lives and would be a simple change at a lot of airports. In Chicago they would need to build a tunnel or reroute the highway, but it still might be worth it. At least at airports in less dense areas they should do this, and at any new airports they should do this. A lot of more rural airports will have trees growing of the end of the runways. It would take a day to chop these down. So many planes slide off the runway, or taking off and landing clip the trees. Chop that crap down.
EDIT: It says at the end the NTSB recommends they clear 1000 feet at the end of the runway. Yeah. Good idea. It's to bad things like this have to happen before people get common sense.
Pretty simple! Midway is a 1930s airport brought kicking and screaming into the jet age! The city of Chicago built up around the airport over the decades. There are several airports like that. Burbank, CA is another.
There is no highway. it is a regular street.
Can you make a video of Concorde AF4590 Please?
luke thomas I don’t think there is a Concorde in P3D
Ik that crash lol 😂
@@blumac9801 there is from fslabs
Emrey Valentin it’s not funny! Over a hundred people died that day!!
iFlish I didn’t know that
I have no military experience, but landing at Midway, in my opinion, is as close to a carrier landing and takeoff as I ever want to get. I've flown in and out of Midway twice, both times on Southwest. In all the flights involved, the pilots got the wheels on the ground almost within the first 300 feet of runway, and used up almost every bit of it getting slowed enough to make the next to last or last taxiways off. On the second flight, it almost seemed like the pilots were on full reverse thrust even before the nose gear touched down. Definitely no room for error at that airport!
And these were on clear, sunny days (though the winds were dicey the second time around).
Pilots I've chatted with refer to this airport as the SS Midway.
@@gapdigital7774 A friend and I have morbidly taken to calling it "Midway Into The Intersection Airport."
I'm tryina play my 2k career and I can't stop watching these vids man .. kudos to quality content you have a subscriber in me
The famous last words before the crash from the pilot was.. “Well, there goes my career.”
That was a different Southwest Airlines runway overrun. That time, the aircraft was a B-737-300, and it took place at Hollywood Burbank Int’l Airport in Burbank, California.
I am back again after getting the notification....
Basic Flying Rules:
1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
2. Do not go near the edges of it.
3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there...
Here is what caused WN 1248 to crash at MDW:
1. WN 1248 was instructed to land in a tailwind instead of a headwind.
2. Braking action progressively deteriorated each 100 feet of Rwy 31C.
3. Thrust reverse must always be used when landing at MDW. There is no space for error at MDW.
4. Alternative approach/landing on Rwy 4R wasn't considered.
The pilot & ATC errors seem like basic fundamental errors to me.
Right, 12 knots over speed with tailwind and first half of runway the best.
Land in reverse direction or divert.
@@jmwSeattle Exactly!!! These are BASIC errors being made by people who should know better!!
A little boy was killed when that southwest plane hit a car on that street next to Midway airport. They didnt mention that, I wonder why.
Who didn't?
@@fbcaware8805 the people on the vid.
No mention of the 5-10 extra knots of speed they carried down short final that resulted in that 132-knot touchdown speed. It could have kept the aircraft short of the road...
8:48 Sounds like the captain was telling a whopper when saying he couldn't get the reverse thrusters out of the stowed position. The first officer had no problem once he realized that they weren't deployed.
I like the sign, "No Turn On Red." No turn on green apparently for awhile either.
in the videos I miss the information about survivors or non-survivors !!!

Poor information by not mentioning the casualties. That was the reason I watched this nonsense.
ANQ. VITORIA Teles Well a poor 6 year old boy died named Joshua Woods May he Rest In Peace.
I've watched so many of these videos that I know longer fly.
Mikah White are u serious
you "KNOW" longer fly?
Mikah White did you quit proper grammar also?
More chance of being killed driving to/from the Airport.
Do you drive?. Your chances are dying in a car wreck are far greater..:)
We live, we learn and we fly more safely. Greatings to the world from South Africa 🇿🇦
Love your channel on flight crash investigation! There is always a reason for a crash. Either mechanical or pilot error. I watch so many videos on RUclips that even a non-pilot such as myself knows how important it is to run the checklists at every stage of the flight where they are warranted. No excuse for avoiding this crash when checklists assure that the aircraft is properly configured for landing. The automatic breaking system is something that I am unfamiliar with so I will not comment.
09:23
Airline is worried about missed connections and inconvenience to passengers. Umm hello! The plane crashed anyway and caused way more problems.
Safety first please
Amazing intro man!!
F.Y.I. I checked Department of Motor Vehicles regulations and learned that at any street or highway intersection jet airliners have the right-of-way.
Oh look, White Castle at the end of the runway! I went to Chicago once, and as the Southwest lined up on the runway to take me home, I saw that White Castle peeking over the perimeter wall. I knew I forgot something! Not much I could do at that point though.
If I remember correctly someone on the ground died in a car that the plane hit.
Was the pilot fired? What happened to him?
I literally forgot today was friday and I was thinking: Why did TheFlightChannel upload a video today?
Your channel is an amaaazing ... and your content more amazing 🤙🏼
Did you guys hear of that Southwest plane that crashed arriving into Baltimore? It was WN4034 coming in for Rwy28 but mysteriously stalled just short of the runway and killed 4 people on the ground. It happened just last Sunday on the 17th. Everyone on board was killed, and it was the very first fatal crash in Southwest history.
