In 1967, a rather shocking plane crash occurred in the United Kingdom that claimed the lives of 72 people. The term Fuel Starvation is attached to this accident. It’s a term that is pretty self-explanatory and Fuel Starvation could occur for many reasons and it’s not always as straight forward as a plane simply running out of fuel though that has happened. It can also refer to a scenario where the engines are not receiving the fuel they demand. The case of British midland Flight 542, the Stockport Air Disaster I would say falls into that sub category. This was case of fuel being present on the plane, yet engine flameout still occurred. So what happened here? Well to unpack this we need to back to 1967.

I would like to announce that from the beginning of June, we will be trying a new Upload Schedule. For further details I do talk about this in the outro of this video.
Basically the long and short of it is, I do want to make bigger and better videos for you all and the only way I can realistically and regularly bring the content I think is best is if I give myself more time. So I may need longer than 7 days which could spell the end of the regular Saturday uploads. I'll talk about it more in a community post soon.

FIRST REPLY YAY
End of an era! It's been a hell of a streak, consistency and quality is hard to achieve but you've done it!
I'm all in for longer videos, the weeklies are fun but honestly my favourites were always uploads that went over 30 minutes
hi, great video! like allways, I have a question, what flight simulator do you use?
Excited for everything you put out, I don't mind waiting a little longer for an interesting and more in-depth video!
I visited the crash site the day after it happened and the general feeling amongst everyone there was a sense of pure amazement that the wreckage was confined to a very small area between many buildings. The Captain deserves to be commended for his flying skills by choosing to nurse the stricken plane into a small grassy area.
Something so kind about you is that you actually listen to peoples request when I saw the community post this was one
The problem is that this GUY is a MALE that’s puts on makeup and dresses..! 🤮🤢
That captain was phenomenally brave to plan the safest possible crash
The crash was 500 yards away from my Grandmother’s house, where my Farther still lived, if that pilot hadn’t have crashed where he did, I might not be here! Great video as always keep up the good work 👍🏼
Well, glad you are here on earth.
talk about luck, its a miracle no innocent peace loving townspeople was neutralized in the tragedy.
It's nice you are here, make everyday count.
Well I wouldn't have missed ya..... Just kidding! That's actually a really neat story and now you have a video for historical prosperity to go with it 😎 Life is weird like that. If it weren't for the pilot's skills you actually and honesty might not be here today. Scary cool!
With the butterfly effect in play, you probably don’t even end up being here if the plane never crashed at all.
Considering how you managed to deliver consistent high quality content on a weekly schedule I can't wait to see what you'll manage to make when having all the time you need
I'm kinda sad to see the weeklies go away because by now it become part of my routine but I'm sure the change will be worth it
Hey Chloe,
Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me if you upload every Saturday or once every two weeks or once a month. You make amazing videos already, so I would be fascinated to see how good your videos will be when you can dedicate the time you want to them.
Well said! Couldn't agree more!!🎯🎯🎯🎯
Simp mode: ACTIVATED
I'm new here today and like this channel over others I've been on
Who is Chloe? It's clearly a guy.
@@KingBritish Chloe is the name of this RUclipsr. Whether Chloe is a guy or a girl is irrelevant. A name is a name.
What I find remarkable is the sense of memorialising that Stockport has. You can visit almost any part of Stockport these days and it looks like it has been hit by a plane. They really went above and beyond for that.
Lol
The amazing thing is how the damage always looks recent. They must put a lot of effort into maintenance to keep up the effect.
They even come to America and do it6 to some of our towns for us if we're not keeping up. I'd say they deserve a pint for their kindness 😁
@@P_RO_ Now THAT is commitment and solidarity! (lmaooooo)
😂😂😂
I think it NEEDS to be said, Chloe... OBJECTIVELY, I believe your relentless holding to the weekly scheduled uploads, and the consistency, not just in delivering on time, but in the shear quality in both the depth and detail of your research, but the care and quality of your graphics representing the events for visual aid as you narrate, has proven your efforts truly ARE entirely for the growth and progress of this channel and content in a directly FORWARD direction by any measure.
I believe you've done more than enough to buy some patience at our end as your loyal audience, and we should look forward to your uploads on practically any schedule you see fit. While it is kind of sad to see our routines every Saturday slip into the past, getting to bigger and better Episodes with the effort and skills that only YOU seem to provide so reliably makes that a small price to pay.
I, for one, simply look forward to the upgrades to content as you know you want to provide... not just in longer videos, but in more diversity in the disasters you explain in the future. I BELIEVE in you! ;o)
RIP to all those who perished in the Stockport air disaster.
Also, best of luck with the new upload schedule Chloe - it will be worth it.

Crikey ! This takes me back,I was 15 then,just come out of 9 O'clock Mass at St. Mary's up on the hill,heard the thump just as service ended,once outside saw the pall of smoke,ran to the site in ten minutes ! Year's later I worked as an Aerial Photographer for Airviews at Manchester Airport,me and the Boss often flew over the site on returning from a job.
Considering the exceptional videos you have released thus far, I cannot wait to see the videos when you have the necessary time to spare.
Really appreciate you listening to us viewers and keeping us posted. We are sad to see the weeklies go away, but that brings in the surprise element for us to await further content from you. :)
This is one that hits close to home.
You live in the Manchester area?
@@DisasterBreakdown ...could be a rather tasteless joke too
@@DisasterBreakdownyes.
@@alastormedialit isnt. I live in the area
You always put so much work into your videos, and I can hear the worry in your voice when you have to bring up a schedule change. Honestly, your quality is so high, I don't think anyone will truly mind the change in videos once they see the result of giving you that extra time you need.
You have done this weekly for 2 and a half years and never missed an upload even on Christmas, upon moving to a new place, and when ill. You have, by far, earned some breathing room and a chance to really take your work to a level you deem proper.
If it all doesn't work out like you hope, you can always return to weekly if it works better for you.
Take all the time you need. I love your content whenever it drops, and if its longer and more detailed them all the better. Thanks again.
Hi really enjoy your excellent channel Chloe, so informative and beautifully spoken.. My school friend John Standsfield and his parents sadly perished on that fateful day in June 1967. Keep up your good work, thank you Nick.
Decades ago, I saw a B/W documentary on the Stockport Air Disaster from BBC North (1968) that covered this crash. It was very well done, and it thorougly went through the details using eyewitness interviews and immediate post-crash footage. I noticed it is on RUclips now (under Stockport Air Disaster). Love Disaster Breakdown videos as well. Keep em coming.
This channel delivers excellent content; to gain (astonishingly) higher value, I'm more than pleased to wait a bit.
In relationship to the accident, it must have been completely horrifying to suddenly lose half your engines during the most crucial phase of flight. To remain cool and collected in those circumstances, well, that's nearly incredible.
It’s surprising that the Captain wasn’t blamed. I wonder if it had been a USA incident if he’d have been given the pass. Or, maybe authorities were more lenient in that era (?). Nice job with the video; the maps, simulated flight, real photos, etc. really help with understanding the whole incident. *Looking forward to your extended videos!
The pilot of the Ambassador in the Munich (footballer's) attempted take-off crash was blamed for icing and runway slush and never flew again.
How is it surprising? They were correct in not placing any of the blame on the Captain. It wasn’t his fault.The official report stated that it was a failure of communication on part of the manufacturer that was the major contributor to this crash since BOAC discovered the issue in 1953 and told Canadair about it but Canadair failed to tell anyone else about it or make any changes to their flight manuals.
It was just not enough of the pilots fault. They did the checklists, they had the levers they had. And it was 1967 & the pilots were ex-RAF. Without younger pilots coming through easily. Besides, this was when you bought life insurance at the airport. And… it’s Manchester 😏.
Ooh, air transat who used crossfeed inappropriately (although checklists were problematic). Similar, except modern planes fly better on less engines. Similar, probably more the pilots fault, don’t know if they flew again.
"It’s surprising that the Captain wasn’t blamed. "
True, and this disaster is a good example of first- and second stories:
The first story is "what happened and who is directly involved". The captain made a mistake and the plane crashed. A fool would put the pilot in jail.
The second story is about why the mistake happened. The pilot did not want to crash the plane, the plane was in perfect working order, so what caused the pilot to do this?
IN the second story we learn that the pilot thought he was doing the right thing but the plane did not show that things were wrong. The design of the cockpit was illogical, it's not normal that a gauge that is extremely important to the safety of the plane is not clearly visible from the seat of both pilots. it is also assenine that there is no low-fuel alarm and no automatic crossfeed in case of such an alarm. Keeping the engines running should be a priority in the design but apparently in this design the low-fuel gauge was seperate from the crossfeed so the plane thought it had fuel.. just not in the tank that was being used.
Does that mean we should lock up the designers? Again: no, because the threat of going to jail does not make *anybody* magically not ever make a mistake again. threat of punishment only prevents deliberate acts, it does nothing to prevent mistakes.
I follow so many different channels that I can't remember anyone's upload schedules. Which means every day is a lovely surprise to see who has a new video.
As a pilot, I can tell you that it often in your best interest to "develop amnesia" after a crash...
I'd wait as long as it takes for your videos, definitely worth the wait. Thank you for all you do and don't push yourself!
I had a conversation with a KC-97 flight engineer many years ago, he surprised me (a jet mechanic) when he explained in detail how dificult was to tell that you just lost an engine...(assuming is not a catastrophic failure) the RPM and oil pressure still there thanks to the windmill prop and for a while the cylinder head temp still normal, as is the fuel flow... they did many exercices on this. I can see this 2 tired pilots may have not noticed the 3 windmilling and slowing them down... if they had feather 3 they may have been able to climb in circles.
Actually the fuel flow doesn't stay the same at all. It is the one thing that indicates whether the engine is developing power. No power produced shows as no fuel flow.
The official enquiry didn't really exonerate the crew, but equally didn't hold them to account for some quite serious errors. The most critical being the non feathering of one of the dead engines. Put quite simply - none of the 4 engine piston airliners would stay airborne with a single engine unfeathered. The problem was that the Captain was totally occupied in wrestling with the controls, which left him with no capacity to control the other aspects of flight, what would be called CRM today.
It would be proven later that type of aircraft lost rudder authority in those circumstances as the speed dipped below 105 knots. It was found that with both Starboard engines out and correctly feathered they would've reached Ringway quite safely in 6 and a half minutes.
I love your channel Chloe. Changing the format to allow time to create longer and even more detailed content sounds brilliant to me. I can’t wait to see these new videos 👏👏👏
This is definitely part of my Saturday routine (although I’m watching on Sunday this week), but I’ve enjoyed your work for so long and if you think making fewer videos will open up new possibilities for making them even better, I’m ready to support that.
Thank you, great video
These videos are amazing, if you need more time to keep up this quality. PLEASE PLEASE take it. The amount of effort you put is insane im honestly surprised you managed to keep up the quality with weekly uploads like this.
Thank you so much for your efforts man. Keep up the good work!
Greetings and well-wishes from the US, Chloe! Your videos are eagerly anticipated and much enjoyed! I will look forward to them on whatever schedule works best for you. Thanks!
I really love your breakdown videos. I think the new upload schedule is a great idea, especially with the efficiency you’ve built up by being so consistent.
P.S. i hope you’ll have a video on the Gimli Glider one day! There’s plenty of info on it out there, and I have an aeronautical engineer father to answer my questions, your videos are absolutely favourite way to absorb this information.
The more chances i get to hear your PERFECT voice narrating these AWESOME vids, the better! So yeh bring ON the changes! this is something thats going to be so anticipated!
Great video Chloe. Always really enjoy your content. Hope your new schedule works out.
The new plans sound great because it will give you the ability to add a greater level of detail which will enhance the work that you have done to date.
On this accident, it is always a tragedy when lives are lost although the crew did save lives on the ground.
i think i'll miss my saturday routine of watching these videos with my lunch, the same way with any routine change, but what i want more than that is for you to be able to make work that you're proud of! i'm looking forward to what comes of it :)
great video, as always!
I’m from Stockport and worked in view of this crash site which is now a memorial….
Chloe, I think your videos only get better and better and the latest intro and outro scenes are top notch! I am confident that you will create new masterpieces for us humble watchers and I will have no problems waiting a few extra days to get your high quality content! I think I can speak for many of us that please don't worry, we will be here and we will be watching eagerly every upload!
Tbh, I even re-watch your content when I am bored. I always find new things to look at or listen to in your videos. Thankyou for being awesome.
Really liking ur vids, Chloe! Keep up the fantastic work and the fabulous content! I can only imagine the time and energy spent creating the content you do. So super props to you! And thank you from all of us. Stay safe everyone.
I love watching your videos while I eat breakfast on Saturday (I'm in the US so they come out Saturday morning for me) but I love your longer videos as well! I'll gladly trade off the weekly video for longer but less frequent ones if needed. Thanks for all the great vids, Chloe!
Another great video as a resident of Stockport this disaster is something ive been interested in and theres not a lot made about so this was very informative and thanks
Also good luck with new schedule and i be watching as i really enjoy your videos
As an airline pilot I love your videos they are amazing. Keep up the great work!!
I look forward to your videos every week, glad to have you on this platform :)
Thank you for all the video you made, take all your time to make the new high quality vide. I am excited.
I love the idea of getting longer videos. It will take the time it needs.
I hope you also take care of you. Theses videos are always so well done, I hope you won't get burned out.
I love your videos Chloe! Consistently great! There is a good documentary on youtube about this crash, l've watched it at least 5 times. I'm happy you covered it too
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos and I am really impressed by your presentation, including your gentle voice and clear explanations. Greetings from Scotland. 🙂
You have a natural gift for these type of video.
Not only is the level of detail impressive it is obvious you out in a huge amount of research and time ensuring the fact are correct.
On top of this you have superb delivery making even complicated cases easy to follow and understand.
Finally you voice is so good and engaging. Smooth, clear and calm!
I'm a great fan of yours!
Just found your channel and think it/you rock! Thank you for your time and effort - I'll leave the scheduling discussion to those w/out a backlog of previous vids to watch.
Cheers
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!!
so wonderfully produced and researched content, thank you!
Another amazing one Chloe this one slays
Thank you!
Jesssssh for longer videos! Even if it's at the expence of consistency I'm all for it. Can't wait! 😊
I love all of your videos!! take your time, Ill wait. I am enjoying these longer vids.
So interesting! Very good video and explained very well how the fuel starvation might have occurred.
I do appreciate your videos every Saturday, as I can tell you put in a massive amount of work into them. Thank you. I'll be sad to know that I won't see a new video from you every Saturday, starting in June, but at least you'll still be putting out content, when it's ready. BTW, kudos to you for never missing a Saturday.
Fascinating these accidents of yesterday with excellent accompanying graphics . Good luck with your future videos .
Thank you for sharing today I really like your videos I'm a big fan
i live just outside stockpot that i regularly walk down to it and passed the crash site many times. it nice to see a decently big channel cover it
I just found your channel, and besides some kind of interest in the disasters themselves, I have enjoyed the background and the history of the planes. Sadly, I know you have more than enough material for videos to last a lifetime.
We love longer videos! Your content is great. I think we all prefer to wait a little longer for a better video. Thank you so much! Keep it up!
Longer videos would be great, I love this channel and if we have to wait just a little bit longer for a higher quality video, I think that’s great.
Yours is an excellent channel, and is one I intend to continue watching, as your videos become available to view on You Tube. Keep up the good work..!
These are top notch productions. So glad I found this YT channel.
Thanks for the update. Onwards and upwards!
Great job mate, thank you.
I have just came across your channel. Great videos. I did not even know about this crash. Subscribed 👍
Another gem! Your upload consistency has been exemplary but please try out the new schedule if this makes you happier. Just as long as you keep making these brilliant videos.
I had forgotten there were so many killed in this accident. There is an audio of the communication somewhere and was scary.
This channel *ROCKS!*
Hey, i live in Stockport and know hope carr vey well and the memorial. It really is a crash that is remembered to this day in Stockport but seems no one else int he rest of the uk/world has heard about . @Disaster Breakdown if you want i can go grab a picture of the memorial so you can update the vid with it?
@Flyingturdbucket - I understand what you mean about your local disaster not being widely recognised or remembered by many people, which I am sure you feel is very disappointing, as it's part of your history.
Even though at the time of this accident I had no connection with Stockport (10 years later I worked for a short time in Wilmslow), somehow this event has always remained in my mind.
In 1967 I was 18 years old and had lived for a year in a YMCA in north London.
Only 8 months earlier had been the tragic Aberfan coal tip disaster in Wales which killed over 100 children and adults in and around a junior school. So these two disasters in many ways defined the first year of my new life in London, having been brought up in Scotland.
Nowadays I have long since retired and living in Spain. Times have changed, but I still think back to those particular sad memories of the mid-sixties.
Looking forward to the new videos Chloe. Enjoy making them as we'll enjoy watching them!
Super pumped for longer videos, you rock!
I have enjoyed the 10-20 minute videos because I watch them as I eat breakfast, but I'm with you for the longer duration videos! keep it up! as some people watch a movie on a Friday evening I may just tune in to a few documentaries here! thanks!
greetings from Bristol Chloe. thank u for the educational content. i love flying and understanding aviation is fascinating
Bestie, take all the time you need and want. Someone else said that they can't wait to see the quality when you have more time to work on these videos, and I second that. I'm excited to see where things go from here.
This is the definition of a hero. It is utterly ridiculous that controls that could down a plane would be hidden from view. As for Saturday uploads, I prefer to see your content whenever YOU think it is ready.
Take your time mate, i love your new type of content
Thanks for the great video chloe
Thank you for watching!
Looking forward to those longer videos. You do a great job!
Excellent video
Yay longer videos!!! I’ll be signing on as a patreon!!!!🎉🎉🎉
My grandma witnessed this crash as a little girl, she said to her mum (my nan) "mummy, i can see a plane about to crash!" My nan said (in a proper thick manchester accent) "dont be so bloody schewpid!" Then they both heard the sound of the impact.
My great grandad was one of the first to the crash site, he didnt tell what happened but he mentioned something along the lines of pulling what he thought was a body out of the wreckage, but it was only legs.
Thank you for making this.
As someone who loves aviation never heard of this one
I've been waiting 7 years for a perpetually delayed video game (System Shock remake) while it gets refined and polished. I can wait a while for added video quality from you. Take your time. To adapt a quote often attributed to Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, "A delayed [video] is eventually good, but a rushed [video] is forever bad."
I like the idea of longer videos on a different schedule. I’ll miss the weekly videos, but I feel you have good reasons to make the change. I look forward to your new content! 🎉❤🎉❤
Fantastic content
I was 7 years old and my mum and I were passing through Stockport about an hour after this crash, on our way from Reddish to visit my grandparents in Chorlton (changing buses in Mersey Square). My mother - an otherwise kind, smart and wonderful woman - somehow thought it would be a good idea to see what was going on. All I remember is shapes covered in blankets lying on the lawn of a low-rise block of flats, a request by loudspeaker for men to come help as stretcher bearers, and the tail of the aircraft looming over the top of a fence.
I love when creators announce that they’re going to give us better quality content like it’s a bad thing 😂 like bro, I can wait a bit longer for a better researched, higher quality product
I love this channel and I'd much rather wait a few weeks for quality content than have a creator burn out. The level of research you put in is amazing and I use your channel when talking to young creators to show how difficult subjects can be approached. Keep up the amazing work 👍
I'm amazed the pilot even found that bit of land let alone getting there and having no fatalities on the ground.
Harry Marlow was a very skilled pilot flying a crippled aircraft. That he managed to locate Hopes Carr among that urban sprawl was amazing, as was his skill in bringing such a complicated machine to a controlled crash! He never returned to flying for a variety of reasons but I believe what we now know as PTSD played its part.
The real blame lies in the poor layout of the crossfeed valve controls, not easy to operate when trying desperately to keep such a relatively primitive machine in the air to shape your approach.
There are other complex factors at play, but this was not a single-cause accident.
My parents and I flew G-ALHG back from Jersey a couple of months before this crash (my mum's first and last flight until 2008). I remember as the only kid of about 20 passengers, I got invited up to the flight deck. All the controls were worn and dials scratched, it just looked old. It was obvious the crew loved the old bus in the way they spoke about it.
I remember this well, living in Stockport alongside the approach path. I was due to go on a tour of St George's church steeple that day, but the Vicar was called to attend the accident.
The subsequent crash investigation became the industry standard, used for training future investigators.
I seem to remember a report that when one engine was starved of fuel, the instruments indicated a problem with the wrong engine, so the pilot was prompted to shut that one down instead of the correct one, thus losing both.
do whatever it takes to keep it thorough and accurate. so many get so much wrone. (running out of fuel is never called fuel starvation any more, it confuses issues; we only use fuel exhaustion for running dry and starvation infers fuel was on board). After two hours of burning fuel, the obvious question was why this ship couldn't fly on two mills running, even if both are on the same side. A windmilling prop could explain it and something was mentioned about it. What was the story there, because that was probably the last straw. It is a good decision to relese a product when it is complete, not when due.
You are one of (if not) the most informative and thor producers of this genre. I am certain that others have actually plagiarised your work! Anyway, I shall continue to be on the lookout for your well constructed videos. Richard D.
This is a great presentation and preservation of history. RIP to all.
However you choose to run the channel I'll be here looking forward to your videos. Hugs from Central Florida ❤
In 1957 my mother flew to Rio in a BOAC Argonaut. I watch her off from what was then London Airport North.
lived in Stockport for many years and remember the crash often thought about it when I passed the site. Good look with the new schedule look forward to the style
Take however long you want to make the kind of content you really want and I for one will be happy whenever you share them with us! Take care!
I love your channel and your accent 😊
I have read about this accident on social media.
I was13 then but I can't recall it in the news at the time.
Perhaps because we weren't exposed to that much news back then.
God Rest all who lost their lives in this disaster. 💐
