I side with the survivors of flight 52. The airport bosses demanding controllers to land 33 planes in that weather was irresponsible. Then having controllers pass planes off to other controllers repeatedly was also irresponsible. Priority means priority! Put first! Claiming they didn't state an emergency is a poor excuse to avoid blame. I hope the survivors and families of the dead were appropriately compensated. May the souls of the lost in both of these accidents rest in peace. 🙏🕊️
That crash has always bothered me since i first saw an episode (not sure if it was this exact one or another program) but like HOW?? How could they demand a certain number of planes land In dangerous weather? How in the world was that ever deemed an acceptable approach?! Flying is considered to be very safe, i often hear that driving in a car is more dangerous….but there are already so many things that can cause a catastrophic and deadly situation on a plane that are totally uncontrollable. For example, the delta flight that was slammed to the ground by the the microburst. Or fire caused by cargo that takes the plane down, no fault of the pilots. Totally uncontrollable things can happen. With all those things to potentially worry about, why would they take a controllable situation - they knew the weather was dangerous - delay the flight, people may get mad but guess what ? They’re alive. Why encourage pilots and ATCs to stress and worry about doing things as quick as possible in order to hit a quota?! That’s insane. They are making decisions that mean the difference between life and death even when it doesn’t seem like big decisions. If pilots are rushed and ATCs are over worked and not paying attention enough or simply not trained correctly, bad things are bound to happen!!!
The pilots didn't specifically say they were out of fuel. it's not on the ground controllers to monitor that. "Pan Pan" doesn't cut it when you're flying on empty. you say Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, fuel emergency. Every plane in the sky that night was running low. a Mayday call would've alerted to the ATC to the fact that "oh hell, this guy needs to get down now."
I won't say that the ATC handling didn't contribute...however, at the end of the day, it's on the pilots for poor communication and mishandling their fuel state.
I agree
@@Jw_617Flew from Los Angeles to Tulsa last week. A bunch of us missed our flight because of insanely long TSA lines lol and then they booked us to connect in Dallas, and onto Tulsa. Then our Dallas flight was canceled, and we had to take a different one, a few hours later. When we got to Dallas, they boarded 325 of us on this huge American Airlines jet. And, right before we were about to take off, we deplaned! They found something wrong and they had us get off. There was a lot of grumbling, but you best believe I thanked them all on the way out! I told everyone else, I would rather deplane on the ground, if it was all the same to them. Caught a red-eye to Tulsa and made it home safe 👍
I worked that crash - given the weather that night they are lucky that they only lost one - Esp with the airports right on the water
Strong images to see the despair and uncertainty of the loved ones waiting for a plane that would never come. 😕
Heartbreaking

I love that the captain uses real life language 😂 ... For real though, i really do appreciate it
Daniella's mother crushed me. The thought of your tiny one dying is unbearable. SO GLAD SHE LIVED!!!
How intrepid and wonderful were the rescue teams. Climbing up that huge mountain covered in vegetation in the dark.
That ATC being interviewed like he wasn't a contributing factor in this disaster.
A slight amount. The vast majority of blame is on the pilots. Even if they had flown the direct route, they would’ve been fine. The turn off course ultimately doomed them and that’s all pilot error.
I agree...disgusting
But the pilot was telling his copilot to tell them it is an emergency.
And he didn't. But...they did say low on fuel and that is an automatic emergency
I hope we can see Season 13 onwards of Mayday uploaded on Wonder.
this was absolutely the Towers error!!
I didn't understand what the ATC was saying. He should've explained the situation and then it probably would've made sense to the pilots. Also, in the interview, he's speaking in his native language; image what his English was like. 😢
how could the traffic controller leave during all this, i blame him!
Cascading Failure:
1. FAA Regulations and probably American Airlines corporate pressure nudging the pilots to go faster to not miss the next days flight
2. Colombian separatists blew up the radar station at Tulua
3. Miscommunication between the ATC and the pilot about Tulua waypoint
4. Choosing runway 19 forces them to rush
5. Typing in R for Rozo makes no sense, and the pilot picks the wrong waypoint… why it just says ‘R’ for multiple waypoints makes absolutely no sense and hopefully has changed…
6. The pilots don’t notice the sharp veer off to the left right away
7. The captain Tafuri not wanting to turn around and ascend to a safe altitude when they were already lost, is a cataclysmic error and is the most unforgivable in my opinion
8. Speedbrakes not lowered when trying to ascend
The thing is, not just 1 of these errors caused the crash, but each of them, compounds the problems, and multiplies the chaos...
I think the proper vernacular is "clusterfuck!"
@@jonathanbecker8935or "Pile of Swiss Cheese"
Wow that was intense and very sad negligence 😢
The planes in NYC SHOULD have been diverted. The FAA was at fault for not closing Kennedy at that time.
I second that!
The FAA doesn't have the authority to close an airport, so I don't see how they're at fault for not doing something they can't do anyway.
Odd, hasnt this pilot flown to Cali before? It's weird to me that he would so confidently punch in Cali directly and wipe out the waypoints when he's threading the needle between these mountains
The situation in the video is like a plane trying to navigate a maze of confusion, where even a slight miscommunication can lead to a catastrophic crash.
Jesus...also avoid flying into third world countries with no radar or night vision capable choppers. What a nighmare.
Thankfully now in 2023 there are almost no airports in even 3rd world countries to which any major airline will fly into that lacks modern radar tracking as well as modern weather monitors. This typically extends to limiting any flights from outside of the country & planes above a certain potential passenger load.
- Some of the riskiest areas are flights from point A to B *within* some areas of China, India, multiple African countries & multiple South American countries…especially if on smaller passenger planes belonging/operated by smaller local airlines. With the more rural the location equaling higher odds of outdated or limited/reduced technology…the same for the smaller the airline likely having poorer quality planes, equipment, technology &/or maintenance.
- Which even here in the US it’s important to remember that when it comes to flying…cheaper isn’t always better. As budget airlines have REPEATEDLY been proven to: cut corners in all aspects, pay employees less while often working them harder/longer, don’t have the best professionals in the industry applying and put profits over safety far more often than the standard & luxury airlines…even if they share a parent company. Saving a few bucks or even a few hundred means *absolutely nothing* if it costs you your life OR leaves you permanently disabled.😕🤷🏻♀️
Ur next
Pilot controlled flight into terrain. “Leading cause of flight accidents over the last 100 years, and still is”. So avoidable. Makes me angry. Makes me sick. Can’t pilots just make passenger safety their biggest priority? Geese! Stop the rush to accommodate airline schedules. Safety first!!!!!!
You do realized airline safety rules are designed with passenger safety at their core, right? They don’t follow standard procedure for fun, they follow it because it’ll keep people safe…
One word...ASCEND
@user-vj5dm7rf9s if you're lost you ascend!! No terrain up there!
1st Day on the job for flight controller, radar or no radar there is an approach to the airport regardless
Avianca crash should never have happened! FAA/ATC plus the flight crew communications were screwed. I sure hope all concerned did some MAJOR streamlining and communications instructions made more stringent.
The FAA nor the NTSB never Makes Mitakes, ask any one of them and they will confirm that!
One thing I have learned from these types f shows is to never RUSH to get anywhere. Rushing you only lead to death. You are rushing to death. Just take your time and get there when you get there...
MAN, this second episode is a NAIL-BITER, LoL! One of the most suspenseful episodes that I've seen!
This disaster happened 15 days after my birthday. (5 December 1995)
RIP EVEYONE😢😢
Every pilots dream is not to be on wonder
0:00-6:16 I love the introductions in these videos!🛫🛬💺😂👍📚🔜🛩️💺
While sitting at the gate for two hours. The pilots should have been checking and rechecking that they had programed the flight computer correctly. It's not as if tgey didn't have the time.
It was they changed it after, they had a miscommunication with someone who spoke broken English even though English is the universal flight language
I prefer the original long episodes
4 people. Wow. God was with them that night.
He certainly was. 😊
Even if....the results screen for just R, brings up all the waypoints starting with R...the one at the top of the list says 4° N latitude, which Cali Colombia area is in the S Southern Hemisphere ? He wasn't reading the list, trained but didn't focus that the desired waypoint only comes up when you type in all letters or more letters to narrow them down. I'm sure pilot knew geographic coordinates estimation, not sure of all the things overloading him.
Going direct the airport was a great idea, but they needed to climb. Climb like hell back to Minimum safe altitude. It's right depicted on the chart, or they could get it from the tower controller either way.
The Experts Strike again.
The hierarchy of the world is a food chain. The guy at the bottom is the guy who gets blamed.
A rude commercial break there I see.
Shyster company lawyers notwithstanding, the Avianca pilots had the ultimate responsibility not to fly the airplane out of fuel
Typing in just one more letter, R- O- ...the 'O' in ROZO, would have narrowed the computer results list for the waypoints and saved the day....weird.
The correct terminology is " we are declaring a fuel emergency and need to land immediately ".
If you're flying around making turns left and right and lost and you know there's mountains everywhere what the hell are you doing
I am appalled by the NYC incident. Why on Earth was the airport not closed?! Why were the planes not redirected to airports with safer weather conditions? After several planes had failed attempts to land, one would think that redirection would be priority. Yes, I said the magic word. I am sure with such long waits and holding patterns, other planes were in danger of running out of fuel as well.
One would think that horrible weather would make those people more concerned about safety, not lax.
No work agenda is worth lives. I hope and pray that things have been vastly changed and improved so that this does not happen again.

@@tsukibusYOURE SO RIGHT
Speed brakes! Damn.
ATC were 100% responsible for the crash.
I have yet to see an episode where the GPWS alerted the pilots in time to avert a crash into terrain. Why even have a system that does no good?
Because when it works the plane doesn't crash. Mayday doesn't make shows about planes that *don't* crash.
You took my answer!👍@@kellyalvarado6533
First rule of flying: fly the airplane first.
Mercedes mother saved her life without knowing it; an angel was guiding her I'd say
It wasn't her time to leave this earth.
@@motherofthreeb6337100 % agree with you.
Yes her time had not come to leave this world.
@@juliemanarin4127u think it’s time now ?
Priority does not mean an emergency. Avianca did not convey the urgency of their situation. There is plenty of blame to go around, but foremost is the plane's crew for never clearly declaring an emergency.
Didn't they say they were low on fuel? That is an emergency!
@@juliemanarin4127 Yes the real situation at that time tells you so, the plane was running of fuel and going to crash. the pilots may used the wrong word but their actions indicated it was emergency.
Exactly. I blame the co- pilot.
That was a real emergency. MAYDAY MAYDAY. Should be have been screaming on that throat😢
@@Hot_PlateVegetarianMealsMaybe so, but so is "We're running out of FUEL!"
Avianca should never have let a plane with a broken autopilot working! What a shame. And ALL pilots need to speak English well! Nobody should be flying if you can't speak English with correct airline language. Avianca should have been sued too...and yes running out of fuel is an emergency...period.
SEE.. Criales vr, American Airlines,Inc.
6:15:00-1:43:35 lol ❤😂😅😅!
How can they descend when they were confused of their waypoint and not known their position?
I was in that place,I just decided to jump
For the record, praying has a 0% success rate. But it gives you something to do in the midst of desperation.

It's everyone's fault for this plane crash and yes the polits should have checked everything out and 2 hours delay should have been checked out on the ground as well
Excellent documentary but advertisments every 2 mins makes it unwatchable
That pilot is one of the best? Ok. This is cvr transcripts. The pilot and copilot were goobers.
39:23 typical theist egocentrism! 159 people died.. BUT he SAVED ME, ME, ME! SMH!
Clearly their was a language barrier, the air traffic controller guy didn't even speak English in his interview. why blame the pilots.
Pilots might of spoke Spanish which was they were allowed to fly planes into Spanish speaking countries
strong avoidance that ( what they call the 3th world) means noting .. souls are just numbers
!!!!
Never fly in a 757. 747 is much more safer even though the technology is older. The pilots in 747 control the plain. And in 757 the computer controls the plain.
I have flown in both and never had an issue in either the 757 or the 747.
757 is not fly by wire...
and all the 747 have been upgraded to modern systems. theres no difference in "computer doing magic" between the two. and also its not safer as many accidents have been caused because the computer wasnt allowed to limit or correct pilot input
How could the pilots be so reticent about declaring a Mayday?
Mayday!!! mayday!!!!😢😢😢we have an emergency, the aircraft has run out of fuel!!!!@$^^&
And it's air control fault as well
What??!!! Control is the very reason this happened!!!
Ha ha lol
❤😂😅😅!

Why are cockpits so dark? How in the world can pilots read anything on the charts? Isn’t there an overhead light?
They said the F word 😮😅
Why does the tower did not informed pilots that they don't have a radar ?
it be of the reeson thay be mabee know before flight ov Plain to Airé-Póřť é
Experienced pilots crashed into a mountain and I’m supposed to get on a plane?
LOVE TO WATCH THESE‼️ WILL NEVER DIE ON ONE DOE ☝️ GUARANTEE YOU I WANT ✔️ CUZ I'LL NEVER FLY. DRIVE ONLY‼️ SAFELY☝️ 37 YEARS TO DATE AND NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH‼️ NO CRASHES NO WRECKS. NOT EVEN A SHOPPING CART DENT ✔️☝️
Why the man in the Tower not speak english in the interview?
First movie!
Second movie turn left turn right all the time with 5 different men!
But the drugsmugglers doing the last flight!
I'm supposed their family's had no insurance money?
We assume that the pilots didn’t speak Spanish?
Alright, who’s not dead!? Sound off!
Anyone ever notice that the bar for a miracle is exactly above however many people happen to die? Arrogant
Its complete pilot error.
1. How come captain is so casual when he is supposed to report at tulua and he did not bother to think why he missed tulua which was a waypoint in his flight plan. The pilot also knew tht atc cannot locate them as atc was asking pilot for distance from caly himself. Pilot should have extra cautious knowing that atc does not hv radar loc to help him.
2. second mistake..even when looking for rozo waypoint on flight computer, how can the captain be so careless to select a waypoint searching with the intial letter R assuming that it is RoZo. R can be starting letter for n number of places. Too careless captain.
The owners of the airport in NY should have all been put in jail. Don't blame the pilot. The dam controller's should have to tell all pilot's if they are making planes wait.
If was a family member I would have taken justice in my own hands.
I don't understand why pilots don't scream we are almost out of gas. Land me immediately! Why wait and hope? That's crazy to me. I'd be raising hell. Fire me if you like, but land me now! I would never be so polite with all the lives affected.
To you or to a child,the meaning of priority…………wrong example. You are supposed to use an international language of aviation.Just saying.Sorry for the losses.
Mayday mayday or emergency….message lost in translation. So sorry for the outcome. I’m trying to be objective and enfhatic by pointing to the misunderstanding by the piloting crew.
Lol yeah let’s not blame the terrorist/rebel morons that destroyed a radar relay that was a crucial check in on approach.
Just another reposted old video to get clicks. Ridiculous!
A terrible event, so sad, they thank ( god ) for their survival. Where the heck was this clown of a god in the first place. If he was there why let it happen. So sad.
PRIORITY and EMERGENCY are two different words in usage, and the pilots never alerted EMERGENCY they let down their passengers RIP.
Low fuel? Common sense here!
@@daylight8208 exactly! Low fuel is an automatic emergency!
Shame on JFK Airport & FAA for crashing that plane. Just another day at work and dead bodies on the ground. You make me sick.
The flight crew ran their plane out of fuel. Period.
Pilots "we are running out of fuel"
Controller "ok why don't you make the widest turn possible, also, transfer to this controller that I have given none of this information to"
Why do you keep posting the same video over and over again??
No new accidents? That is a good thing!
Ronald Reagan killed air traffic controllers union. The number of planes increased with fewer controllers.
What captain with his attitude and swearing was an accident looking to happen. No one I know of in forty years of airlines never used such filthy language.
The Avianca airline went down because of the Controller’s errors. Plain and simple. Yet they never accepted responsibility. Pathetic.
I don’t trust Avianca’s shyster company lawyer farther than I can throw him. He lies for a living to get his employer off the hook
The responsibility for not running your aircraft out of fuel rests with the flight crew. Period
Untrue, the crew of the plane never declared an emergency. There is plenty of blame to go around, but ineffective communication in deplorable weather conditions and a hazardous situation were key in causing the disaster.
@@djpalindromethey had two hours of fuel left when they reached nyc.
