- On June 12, 1972, the crew of American Airlines prepares its new aeroplane for a short flight to Buffalo, New York. The plane is one of the manufacturer's newest investments, and the two pilots don't have much experience with it. Just minutes after takeoff, the explosion tears a hole in the cabin. When a similar explosion occurs two years later at Turkish Airlines, investigators are baffled - the problem should have been solved two years ago.
What did the FAA miss when the first plane nearly crashed?
From Season 5 Episode 3 "Behind Closed Doors": June 12, 1972 - The crew of American Airlines flight 96 is preparing their brand new DC-10 for the short flight from Detroit, Michigan, to Buffalo, New York. A billion-dollar investment by manufacturer McDonnell Douglas, this plane is the latest advance in passenger jets.
Within minutes of take-off, an explosion rips a gaping hole in the cabin. The plane begins falling out of the sky and the pilots struggle to safely land the crippled aircraft.
As investigators search the damaged plane for clues, they quickly conclude that the design of the DC-10’s rear cargo door is to blame. The locking device is faulty.
Paris, France. March 3, 1974. It has been two years since the earlier incident, and more than 50 DC-10s are in the skies around the world. Turkish Airlines flight 981 is filled to capacity and ready to fly to London.
Just after 12:30pm, the plane lifts off and begins climbing. But when the aircraft reaches 11,000 feet, a huge explosion blows out the plane’s cargo door. The cabin floor collapses, damaging many of the hydraulic cables that allow pilots to control the plane.
The accident could have - and should have - been prevented. But why hadn’t the problem with the DC-10’s cargo door been fixed in the two years leading up to the crash?

What did the FAA miss when the first plane nearly crashed?
The NTSB makes "recommendations and suggestions" which the FAA failed to take seriously, and make the reengineering mandatory. It is unconscionable that they are allowed to accept a "gentleman's" handshake to keep the required changes out of the view of the public. The FAA should be held accountable.
@@MR2Davjohn FAA should have been named in the lawsuit. they were a direct contributing factor to the paris crash.
@@MR2Davjohn sadly the FAA is immune from lawsuits.
No, it’s not just you. Death is a fact of life. No one gets out alive, and we all have our time. I refuse to live my life in fear!
The FAA has a schizophrenic existence
I've been binge watching these plane disaster videos. My great grandfather was the captain of this flight, Bryce McCormick. I recently learned about this story from my family. It's interesting to watch a bunch of documentaries and stories about how he handled the disaster on flight and landed the plane safely.
Wow how cool great respect for grandad
Major respect! I read on here he recently died. I'm real sorry for your loss
Wow, you must be so proud. What a legacy he gave you.
You tell stories, did you not research his actual family? Go get therapy, YOU NEED IT. PATHETIC.
A pro Pilot!!!
a coffin falling out seems like a plot for a horror movie 😭😭 thats crazy
The last flight...

@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrraren't they the same ones implucated along with Boeing in recent failures?
4:14 TV Tropes: "The American Airlines Flight 96 incident where a cargo door blew out depicts the blowout occurring at the exact moment one of the flight attendants turns on the coffee machine. It gives the impression that DC-10s have coffee machines that double as a self-destruct."
Weird how they can lock in a coffee maker but not a cargo door.
WOW… What a super good pilot.
I wish there was a way that the pilots could have saved the second plane that they and we had yet to discover. Or maybe something or something that they could have turned to, but only spirituality can offer that when narcissists are determined to put profits before people.
I just love when a flaw is discovered in a plane with ZERO loss of life.
All the excitement,😄 none of the carnage and grief.😪
It’s unfortunate that even after the flaw was discovered, the plane still took the lives all of the passengers of a Turkish Airlines DC-10.
With the same cargo door decompression failure being the cause.
@@AbcdEf-lz6oe The near crash of Flight 96 sent a "this is your last warning!" message to MD and the FAA.
We met John nance in the 80’s when my wife was teaching preparedness classes is Silverdale Washington. We found him to be a very knowledgeable man and we have a lot of respect of him and his ability to analyze a situation and come up with a solution.

WTF is wrong with you people! I’m trying to watch a video on a flight crash and I come across this comment! No one gives a damn about your transgender and religion beliefs.
What a skilful pilot. He must have been rewarded.
My first fly was in a DC 6 when I was a baby.
My late mother took my sister and me from Mexico City to Ciudad Juárez.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who will keep flying on planes even though I watch these....
It's just you, lol. ❤
I actually find these reduce my anxiety. Takes a lot to take down a plane
I hope to die in an airplane.
Hasn’t happened yet.
Taking another trip to the Caribbean tomorrow 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🫣😆
I've still flown after watching these videos, just not immediately after watching them. Learning about the safety measures that have come from these accidents helps reduce my anxiety a little bit, but it breaks my heart that so many people died for aviation to be as safe as it is today.
Well, you might be suicidal. I think one would have to be to untrust their most prized possession, LIFE, to strangers and corporations that put PROFIT over people. Oh, your FAA or the NTSB are puppets to BIG business. Those planes should of been grounded till a new design had been tested and proven SAFE. Yep, they're still killing people, I think what happened with the 737 MAX is a fine example.
My Dad being an aircraft mechanic and aviation enthusiast has said the DC-10 was the result of the airlines putting pressure on commericial airline manufacturers to design and produce aircraft in a short amount of time.
That's BS. It's about cost cutting. Same for all US airliners.
@@chippyjohn1it's antisemitic to criticize corporate culture of cost cutting.
Yeah but even a simpleton like me can see the cargo door should be held tight by pressurization instead of fighting against pressurization.
The Lockheed L-1011 was a far better plane. Unfortunately the DC-10 beat it to the market because of a delay with the engine manufacturer.
Captain : We have a small problem..meanwhile there is a bigass hole in the back of the plane 😳
That was a great pilot in the first plane.
“Every woman wanted to hug him”
I think every man wanted to hug him as well! 😂
If my memory severs correct the 10 had a lot of problems over the years.
My brother who is 70 now and a aircraft fanatic, would not fly on the DC-10. I guess a younger civilian was smarter than McDonnell Douglas management.
I refused to fly them as well though I was forced a few times . Passenger perception is one reason many airlines quit flying them. I feel like they rushed this plane into production causing them to overlook a lot of potential problems.
Doors blowing out of a Douglas aircraft. Douglas merges with Boeing. Doors blowing out of a Boeing aircraft…. 🤔
My uncle and cousin are both pilots. They say this is the greatest flying ever under these circumstances. Bryce McCormick was excellent.
I had a professor who once refered to DC-model planes as "death causing"
DC = Death Cruiser
It's scary to think that my first flight on an airplane was a DC10 American Airlines flight to California for bootcamp. I guess some of the other things I flew on later were much scarier but, not because of pure negligent activity by a corporation we were meant to trust!
Who in their right mind would trust any corporation?
What a great video. I discovered this channel two days and am immediately hooked! Captain McCormick was a true hero who managed to fly and land the crippled plane in spite of the holes and lost rear hydraulics while saving everyone's life. Some of the other comments stated he passed away in a car accident. Rest in Peace, Captain McCormick.
I was on a DC 9 going down runway about to lift off when captain aborted takeoff and hit the brakes scaring the crap out of all of us. We got stopped and turned around and changed planes. All the captain said was we had a mechanical issue. We never were told what the problem was. For all know an engine may have fallen off or door blew open! Never got on another DC!
Lady’s and gentleman we have a small problem,don’t worry about that hole as long as u have your seatbelt on you won’t get sucked out the plane,thank u enjoy your flight
not just M-D - but Boeing had the same problem - resulting in the deaths of 9 people pulled out of United Airlines Flight 811 in 1989 - again it was a faulty cargo door locking mechanism - this was tested and therefore known before the F811 accident - again the FAA - and this time with the NTSB - covered for the manufacturer (Boeing) - again the ground crew was blamed - - it was the persistence of the parents of a New Zealand victim that forced those groups to admit to their own failures - there's a Mayday documentary on that incident on youtube
Not every fucking thing is a cover up.

@@JediOfTheRepublic No, it's every other thing that is a cover-up!!! ITS ALL ABOUT THE "BOTTOM LINE" $$$$$$$$$$
@@JediOfTheRepublic No not every fucking this -- but this one was.
I'm extremely sad to learn that Capt. Bryce McCormick died from a vehicle collision at the age of 77. Unbelievable.
Aww, that’s a sad and ironic way to die. 🙏 to his family. He was some bad azz pilot. I remember reading this in the Detroit News afterward as I was a 10 year old kid that typically only read headlines, I read it in entirety. I always watched planes overhead and we talked about that happening again.
@@5thdimension625 I don't even know anyone involved with the flight, but feel enormous sadness finding out he was severely injured, and died from a car collision? The thought that the other driver possibly insisted on the right of way with a 77 year old retired pilot who saved the plane, or any elderly person for that matter is beyond.........However I don't know the details?
@@Chris-gi9ch I googled and tried to share the details from his obituary but couldn’t. In the article it said he was a passenger in the vehicle his wife was driving and they turned into traffic and hit a car. He was fatally injured and his wife suffered serious injuries
@@5thdimension625 It's one of those things where you would have to be there? Or have the measurements? Still extremely sad, and ironic of his ultimate fate? I hope people reading my post will think and consider that the right of way is not worth taking the life of a human being! Especially an elderly person who may have served our country, or piloted a malfunctioning aircraft to safety? Extremely sad.
@@Chris-gi9ch One comforting thought is he lived 25 years longer than most pilots would have had anyone else been flying that plane. Nice to see the Sid elf folks who are interested in other parts of their story other than the plane they saved. These pilots had dish lives from my perspective and perhaps better known than most, know the value and fragility of life.
God bless captain Brice by insane good luck and skill flhe landed that plane with out a single fatality. Sadly the poor Turkish flight two years later was not so luck. So sad and tragic.
Bryce not Brice… respect the man’s name.

This is one of the accidents that really piss me off becaue there were so many opportunities to fix the problem once and for all! Complete carelessness on everyone's part. 😢
Pilots who flew DC-10's in the growing fleet must have known whether their planes were properly serviced or not and refuse to fly these planes. But it highlights the truth that the trust of the other maintenance folks was implicit. I suppose that they have to trust so much that orders to protect safety were always carried out to the satisfaction of all responsible, and that you could ALWAYS assume the the sacred trust that keeps us all on this earth was there always, not just mostly. Caring about each other that much is always needed, but it is a bond that is broken by narcissists.
im literally crying what a great pilot and co-pilot!!
I went to Paris a few months back. Before going, I thought about the monument outside Paris. I wish I would have gone to see it, but I didn’t know how far away it was from the city. If I ever go back, I’ll make an effort to go and see it. I want to remember the victims in my heart by taking a trip to their final resting place.
Hail hail to Bryce McCormick, pilot. Amazing.
There is no way I'd take my shoes off in a situation like this. If you crash and you can walk you'll have to cross twisted metal and stuff that's on fire. Why would you take off your shoes?
Flight attendants used to ask the ladies to remove their pointy shoes to avoid puncturing the floters ! Same with sharp objects
I too would never take my shoes off, at any time during the flight
The L1011 version was a joy to ride. It was a smooth ride, even through turbulence in the clouds. The bouncing and shaking wasn't as sharp as it was on other planes. Of course, that was after the cargo door disasters.
The L1011 was a Lockheed plane this is a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10

Newer is not always better. The older door locking design was tried and true.
My first time flying was 1976 wow,,I flew to Los Vegas,,didn't think of this stuff of crashing maybe because I was 21 yrs old,,we were drinking and smoking a great time,,on the way back we hit a snow storm now that was a rough flight,,I still fly
Sandra probably had the scariest moment of her life crossing that.
As someone who had a family member and close family friend work at M.D this saddens me so much
Wouldn't that be something walk out your back door only to find a coffin with a body inside that appears to have fell out of the sky. Needless to say that would make a fella scratch his head in confusion

The very 1st plane I ever flew on was a United DC-10 from O'Hare to San Diego when I was 17 back in 1976. I was so impressed with the plane at the time. I often wondered though if that plane was the same DC-10 United 232 that crashed in Sioux City in 1989...
There needs to be some kind of international law that any mechanical (or similar) safety issues that are discovered needs to be disclosed publicly to all companies
Amazing how many have died over the years for a simple fix that never got done.😭
I love falling asleep to these videos
The acting in these shows is always fantastic.
Could you imagine being one of the passengers in the seats that fell out of the bottom of the plane? Must have been absolutely terrifying.
Yeah, that would be terrifying falling out of a plane. Though, what happened to the passengers who stayed on the plane that died was pretty bad. 😨
Great airmanship!
take-off picture was of an MD-11, successor to DC-10
And this was before widespread use of CRM (crew resource management.)
I remember DC 10’s. I have been a passenger on them many times, apparently a very lucky passenger.
This was the flight referenced in the Paris DC10 crash. Both had the issue with the cargo door. This flight was able to be saved and no one died on this flight. Unfortunately because the issue was not corrected properly and it happened on the Paris flight in 1974. Unfortunately it was a worse issue and caused that plane to crash with all on board killed. Because the cargo door issue was not addressed from this flight, it wound up causing the Paris crash. McDonnell Douglas was sued for the Paris crash by the relatives of those who died.
Moral of the story - Never brew coffee on a plane, you may punch a hole in the cabin floor.
In all seriousness, awesome that everyone survived.
God bless all involved
An hysterical Captain does not inspire confidence, hence Captain speaking calmly. Last thing he needs is a cabin full of frantic unpredictable passengers.
40:00 Ugh, FAA, you exist for the people of the country, not for the rich companies looking to get out of doing things or trying to protect their reputation. Wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not
American pilots . Some of the world ' s BEST .
Imagine being in the middle of an air emergency and the flight attendants jack you for your shoes and jewelry
"Are those vintage Jordans? Sick, bro. I'm gonna need to take those for safety."
How is this even on your mind😂
I was in a near crash at Denver due to a microburst in 78 as a teen. I've flown since but not been on a plane since 87.
I used to work ramp for JetBlue. On the outward facing cargo doors on the A320 and E190 (I left before the A321 and A220) we were trained to close the door, close the main handle, and then check for 6 indicators along the bottom of the door to indicate the door was properly latched. The indicators were red and green, were not illuminated, and had to be viewed through small glass portals. In the pre-smartphone turned flashlight era, we all learned quickly to carry maglites if we wanted to properly confirm the door was closed. I get that electrical illumination has no failsafe, but I wish they had a single indicator with luminous paint…wishful thinking.
How do you NOT fix the door after the first incident? How were all the planes not grounded?
Money and greed
My father was a passenger on this flight.
The DC-10 was the biggest lemon ever to "fly".
I love the bass lines this series often uses.
This is not a miracle; this is way beyond a miracle. These pilots were genuine heros, WOW 😍
Flight 96 arriving at gate 11 gate 14 gate 20 gate 30 gate 36 gate 40 ... thankfully captain didn't have fish ... lmao 🤣
That wonderful man whose wife was killed hoped his wife was dead so she would not suffer where he could not save her as the loving and devoted man he was. Someday I will find someone like that for me!
I love this series
Wow that pilot has the skills to pay the bills good job sir amen God bless 🙏
I can't help thinking of the catastrophic cost of a DC10 taking off with only 67 people on board. What a waste of fuel! What a carbon footprint.
How come this crew wasn't NATIONAL HEROES??????? With movies, interviews and the whole works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!
Love 💕 narrators Voice so clear !!! ❤
I swear to God I will never trust a pilot when he says "we have a small problem". Actually, I was in a situation about two years ago where the pilot announced before the take off that we "had a small problem" so we would take off with a delay, then long story short about 20 minutes later everything died on the plane (engines, electricity, lights, even the PA system). It was 787-8, we eventually departed on a 787-9 that the airline brought from another city. I knew that pilots didn't "turn everything off" because they had mechanics come over and they were absolutely puzzled by the situation.
I was always frightened about flying on this aircraft . This huge engine mounted on the tailplane .
Miraculous! Of course I wasn't on the flight. But, I too want to HUG the cockpit crew and cabin crew.❤
Every time I fly I watch this on the airplane
And what was the reason the stewardess couldn't use the other isle but had to step over the hole in the isle that had a hole?
Because there was no other aisle.
Because the hole was too large for her step around it.
4:20 Apparently the coffee pots on the DC10 were just as troublesome.
I think, and hear me out…I may be mistaken but was the actor portraying the pilot on the French flight, the same actor who played Ramzi Yousef in the Philippine Airlines Flight 434 episode?
Yea
Those McDonnell Douglas executives and FAA officials who had that gentleman's agreement should have gone to jail for criminal negligence.
Those coffins are built to last!
I don’t get it. The B-17 had hardwired controls and the wires going to the rear of the plane were attached to a he inside of the roof. Those planes took immense damage and yet were controllable enough to make it back to base safely. I would say this is a big hint to rewire these airline controls and get them out of the floor and up where they are safer.
Aloha Airlines 243 lost the walls and entire roof of part of their plane. The floor is the strongest part of passenger planes.
Look at how wide those isles are! I’m pretty slim and I always feel like I have to do the sideways shuffle.
Who is the actress playing flight attendant Cydya Smith? She's absolutely GORGEOUS 😍
@@KennyMo80 frfr
It is incredible that a production company can be so ignorant. It is criminal, and the people in charge must be hold responsible. This includes the FAA who never followed up and made sure that production was changed.
The FAA hasn't changed.
It's a travesty to have a Miracle on the Hudson-style moment only for it to be sullied by greed rendering a total loss by a known problem, with a known solution! The six seats on that flight were occupied for god sakes! Can you fucking imagine 😱
I think at 42:46 there is a body being pulled out of the wreckage and you can see everything..
A "Gentleman's Agreement" between the FAA director and the head of Macdonald Douglas = $?, 000, 000.00 !!!
$?, 000,000 is much less than the cost to fix the problems.
Still going on today as 3 737 Maxis, all loaded with people, were piled up before anything was taken seriously such as, "Hay guys, we may have a problem here".
Especially ironic considering the main reason the 737 Max stuff happened was because McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing. Did anybody know McDonnell Douglas' massive screw-up with the DC-10? I can't believe anyone thought merging with them was a good idea.
"This is your captain speaking....." - for God's sake man, don't tell 'em that your out of coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in dc 8 in 1971 scary plane too
This Is the Captain.
We have a small problem.
Incredible air crisis management... great pilots
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.
What did the FAA miss when the first plane nearly crashed?
Their intelligence!
"The last thing you want is the public thinking there is an issue with your aircraft." Oh ok, my bad, I thought the last thing you'd want is your plane crashing and everybody on board dying. But what do I know ?
Wow, the coffin was a surprise.
American Airlines: 0 deaths
Turkish airlines: all dead
43:55-44:04 - Convair sold its commercial airframe operations to McDonnell Douglas in 1994 - twenty years after the Paris disaster, and two years before Boeing acquired MDC.
nothing gets sucked out, the pressure on the inside pushes things out.
the coffin was of great quality
I am still BAFFLED by the fact that MDC has a door blowout during TESTING.. and still chose to put this plane into service
Fixing a plane is horrific?
No, people dying is horrific!
Both of the people who conspired to hide the problem and delay fixing it should be in prison!
