"bodies were falling from 11 miles away to the airport".
"we are having flight control problems".
They made good progress for the situation they were in though. They got within 2 miles of the airport.
I dont think the pilots knew bodies were falling
Гражданин Миша aye noice
The pilots are saying to the ATC's that their hydraulics are failing, and therefore the flight control systems, such as the ailerons, elevator, etc. They are not dismissing the bodies as a mere inconvenience, they are saying to ATC what they need to know in the time of emergency. Panicking and saying bodies are falling does not give the ATC an idea of how to respond with assistance.
Rude much
my grandad is an engineer at king Abdulaziz airport and he said he was working that day and he remembers seeing burning bodies falling out of the sky, he said he couldn't eat properly for 2 weeks and couldn't sleep properly for months after that
Well that sucks
Yea Boiii bullsht
Dangg
Must have been a traumatizing experience for your grandad
I been to the Abdul Aziz airport in Jeddah or Makkah, I went there to go to Egypt.
Honestly the most depressing plane accident in Smithsonian channel
Yeah. This crew was genuinely heroic. Had they made it back to the airport and at least saved the lives of the passenger who were still alive and not dead from the fire and were STILL IN THE AIRCRAFT i firmly believe the Airline Pilots Association would have given them the Gold Medal Award For Heroism like the crew of FedEx 705. Shame the airline they were employed by was a shambolically run catastrofuck. RIP to everyone on Nigerian Airways (Nationair) 2120.
:/
They almost made it
yes especially when u consider that the passengers are going home from a pilgrim :(
I would Like to be on flight 780
Flaming bodies dropping from the fuselage . . . in mid-air!? This is officially the worst thing I've heard of on this show.
Completely agree. I mean, death might have been imminent in many of these cases, but nothing yet topped this one.
Nick Hentschel well if thete is no fuselage left on the floor then there would be
just hope they dont hit your grandad's wooden shed
Agree. I thought I had misheard that and I repeated that part, only to be traumatized
Nick Hentschel p
Fire in the cabin is probably the most catastrophic event imaginable. When you can see the smoke you know you literally have only minutes to land....
Yigit Can
They can land anywhere if the pilot deems it necessary.... But they avoid landing inside volcanoes
+Yigit Can I think they can
+Yigit Can Planes have successfully, and albeit unsuccessfully, landed on water, levees, roadways, farm fields, etc. When you have no other choice what are you going to do?
+joshua Laine it can burn right thru
Certainly, the person opening the door would not survive the event (and adding oxygen to the fire, like when dropping the gear, is also fatal). Plus, the doors open to the outside - so, it can also -immediately- cause catastrophic damage to the aircraft (whether by flying-off and hitting something, or by deforming the fuselage at that point and so on).
Who else has been watching loads of these lately
Omg me I'm not going on another plane again lol 😂😂😂

Je me rend compte que les avions c’est dangereux
ME TOO
Hahah me
Imagine seeing a burnt body fall out of the sky and look up seeing a burning airplane mid flight
Yeeaahnah 😭
The Alaska air flight from Puerta Vallarta I don't remember the flight# It was in big trouble and was diverting to Los Angeles It made it to the coast. It's possible the passengers could see the airport or signs of the city and safety. Other pilots flying nearby witnessed in real time the plane flying up side down and then corkscrew to the ocean. One witness said solemnly 'there were real people inside that struggling plane'. That gave me chills. . planes in flight are so beautiful so if you ere ever to see one doing something abnormal you would take notice!!!!
Sounds scary😭😭😬😬😬
Small mistakes can cause a huge disasters .
Please , don't ignore .
Abdulrahman Saddah tru i agree with u
The Butterfly Effect
Definitely no kidding. One scrap of medal brought down the first supersonic airliner’s career, and destroyed a hotel in France.
stevemc 01 It’s amazing. Even a small microchip in one of the engine fan blades requires the plane to be delayed and to have it replaced.
If a small mistake can cause a huge one, then is the small mistake a huge mistake?
It's so sad, passengers are banging on the windows wanting to be safe on the ground, trying to breathe, being burnt alive. And exploding into pieces...

Airwipe it was painful to watch
For most, it was their first time flying as well.
Did you know, sometimes when a fire comes between the plane, for exampe (Nigeria Airways Flight 2120) Often everything gets destroyed and the people turn black. Isn't that freaky...?
And passengers falling off the plane
Love how after people watch these videos they automatically become a certified pilot.And head to the comment section to say completely stupid shit.I mean tell everyone about how this could have been handled differently.
I have never seen this type of comment before.
Thank YOU!
**Fire Warning** "The pilot does not know that there's a fire on the plane"
If they had known how bad things where at the back of their aircraft they'd probably died of fear right there. An on board fire is probably one of the most horrible things a flight crew can deal whit.
There were no smoke detector and sensors in wheel wells at that time.
@@MrJokkoma well check out air france flight 4950
@@andyelgangster5320 That was because the ATC radioed them that they had flames trailing behind them.

That was horrifying! Fire on board a airplane would be my worst nightmare. Those poor people, just can’t imagine the fear. RIP to all.
Truly a sad day. RIP to all souls on board.

This crew was heroic. They did absolutely everything they could to get back to the airport where help was waiting. They were less than 2 miles from Jeddah International when they crashed. If they been 700 to 1000 feet higher they could have made it. Thats the most heartbreaking thing. They were so close to emergency services and help. But they ran out of altitude.
Yeah, but ether if they had arrived at the airport , the plane wold crash in the runway, and even if the aircraft survived the impact, a lot of people onboard already would be dead, some of the even out off the aircraft.
Not really because the landing gear bay where the fire started was so heavily compromised so that when they lowered the gear it essentially melted and destroyed the remaining airframe
Imagine seeing runway but couldn't land😭😭
Absolutely heartbreaking.
You can always go around

Isaac Batz true
i farted
Yeah
My father was a flight engineer for Nationair at the time, and was working in the area at the time. For the better part of a day, we didn't know if he was alive or dead. I was so glad to hear his voice later on, telling me that he was alright, but sad to hear that he lost his best friend in the crash. Many lives lost terribly.
my heart was pounding the whole time
Same!!...Damn near a panic attack!...
I can't believe it……they were just 2 miles from the runway's paved surface but the aircraft ran out of altitude and options. It's really sad....and a crash was unpreventable. :(
the plane exploded
Deven T. This is realy story.
It wasn't really that they ran out of altitude. The plane was so heavily compromised by the wheel fire that win the pilots attempted to lower the landing gear, it destroyed the airframe.
it was preventable if the project manager allowed time to put air in the tires.
extremely sad
This is unthinkable to go through. Truly horrific. You either burn alive in a plane, jump out and fall to your death on fire, or sit there literally waiting to die into a crash and a ball of fire. Awful
I was hoping that they would make it. Broke my heart.
Who is binge watching these?
I do 24/7

My first introduction to Air Crash Investigation.
I have seen a half dozen of these aircraft fire incidents and they all end the same way. With everyone on board dead. Their should be a policy that as soon as fire is detected to land immediately. Don't go looking to dump fuel first. Don't go into a landing pattern. Don't even divert to the nearest airport. Land immediately. On a freeway, highway, waterway, river, stream, ocean, field, wherever!
So true.
Just watching this on the National Geographic (cable) channel (in Europe, Belgrade). How ridiculous is it that there aren't cameras monitoring the wheels, (critical) flight control surfaces and so on.
Today (and also in the recent past), we have the technology even for computers to be able to detect and report, show on a main screen (for example), any and all anomalies analysed. They had removed the flight engineer from the flight cabin, but how big of a mistake was this: to eliminate a redundant system. The role of this extra person could've easily been managed to become something else, a person to have control over various detection sensors, cameras...
Instead, there are (automated) fire suppression systems, smoke and heat detectors and so on. In this particular accident, had the tyre information been related to the flight crew: they would've known immediately, perhaps even prior to V1, how it's an aborted take-off.
Accidents will continue to happen in the future, due to the human factor, but *also* due to -unmanaged- automated systems (which fail). The false feeling of supremacy, which aircraft manufacturers hold, must be eliminated and design and manufacture _must_ go back to having double and/or triple redundancy systems. This is something that is crucial and critical - and the more that they come-away from this policy, the more people will die. It's as simple as that. ;-/
Ther was no time
i think dumping fuel is the safest thing to do first becuz if the fire reached in the tanks no one will survive
Fire Gamer Well there would still be plenty of fuel left to kill everyone no matter how much fuel they dump. But waiting to land and flying around dumping fuel while the plane is on fire is just plain dumb. Like I said. There are a bunch of videos on here where they wasted time dumping fuel or even trying to get to another airport, all the while everyone burned alive and finally the pilots too and the plane crashed. There are also videos where the pilots didn't waste time dumping fuel and landed immediately and everyone survived. Forget everything else. If you're on fire, land that fucker.
I think this was the most depressing plane accident documentary I have ever watched. I can't imagine the last moment for these poor people. Suffocating and banging on the windows as their ingulfed in flames. I wish they didn't have to suffer like that.
I feel so bad for everyone on board that flight it was doomed from the start
Awww
And it would have been avoided if they had maintained a couple of tyres properly. But they didn't because they were cutting corners to meet schedules. So the under-inflated tyres blew out on the runway and caught fire. When the landing gear retracted, the fire went into the plane and spread.
There was burning bodies were falling off aircraft like meteor showers.
Ye, but the hostess was suppose to put out the fire but she didn’t I finish the fire Ckeaning thingy (MY SPELLING AND ENGLISH >>>DOWN HILL)
sadiyo bulle The Fire was uncontrollable.
Half of the plane and an engine is on fire, passengers are falling out of the plane
“flight control problems”
Flight control problems means multiple things are failing
Ok Mr. Pilot
Yes well I think the pilots were trying to get the plane down on the ground, you know? So they could get help.
Why am I watching all these airplane disasters before taking a plane flight?
Me too !!! I don’t understand
Same... fml
Can this channel get 500 subscribers by 2020? To get you ready for the inevitable... of safely landing. Since airplanes are technically safer than cars.
Because so you know what to do in an emergency?
Trust me you don't want to watch the full video if you get emotional easily because I watched it and it said it was the passengers first time on a plane and they were very poor so it must have been awful for them. Also, when the plane crashed (the ATC didn't know that), the air traffic controller recieved a call from Saudi 738 (another plane near the airport) telling the ATC that flight 2120 had crashed in a desert near Runway 34C . The ATC was so shocked and I think he was actually crying and he sat back down in his chair emotionally. This really made me sad😭😭😭😭😭
Where did you watch the full episode? I’ve been trying to find it for a while
Me: i hate airplanes so much!

Ok let's get squirt away and see what we've got here. Wait
Is he secretly calling the fire trucks?
The pilos did not say fire in the cabin, the most dire situation of all.
They didn't know.
@@youarenotrogue They knew. A flight attendant told them that the cabin was filled with smoke
@@dragonage200 smoke dosent always equate to fire.
My understanding is they only knew there was smoke in the cabin, they didnt know the cabin was actually on fire
If I see a smoke in the plane il just say fuck this shit I'm out
how will you get out
Jump. Depressurizing the plane might also help calm the fire in fact. Well, aside from explosive decompression...
it would be impossible to open the doors at that height
But the emergency window exits?
don't exist
This. This was the one that put me off these kinds of reenactment shows
I felt the fear of the passengers
I'm sorry for relatives to know their family suffered in their final moments
I was in Jeddah working in a car maintenance workshop very close to Jeddah airport. I witnessed their last horrifying moments in this plane crash incident. The plane was on a go around back to the airport due to fire at the rear portion of the plane, some passengers jumped off the plane. As the plane descend for the landing approach to the runway, and as it passed above us, I clearly saw the cabin door was opened and some passengers are standing near the door, the fuselage started slightly to bend...as the plane passed the highway and airport perimeter fence, the plane apparently loss control and nose dive and hit the ground (a few meters from the runway) it exploded with a big flames of fire and a tick black mushroom like smoke..no passengers survived.
I remember this flight of Nation Air I was rejected by the airline as a flight attendant, thank god for that otherwise id have been dead. God knows what's best for us. Finally I got a job with Canadian Airlines, but fortunately not a FA anymore.
in 1986 i
was flt engineer on a c131. a master rod cyliner had a bearing failure which allowed the oil control ring the teavel beliw the cylinder skirt. with no oil control the cylinder was pumping oil into the exhaust and filling the augmentor tube with oil when we went to emergency check list we changed the throttle settings and the oil puddling in the augmentor lit off we had us a fire in the augmentor. the fire suppression in that area was a no go. flames were streaming from the rear of the augmentor and melting the flap. we were on a final so we put down as fast as possible. we did with minimum damage . but the damage was one flap, one engine, and several structural members in the nacelle. we were lucky. our aircrew was well trained in emergency proceedures.

😭😭 rest in peace. I was recently on emirates and they announced emergency I found urine running from my pants . this is why .😂😂😂
I have lost ALL FREAKIN BELIEF IN MY BODY THAT THIS HAPPENED. It's the most disturbing air disaster plus the second deadliest plane fire after that Saudia one. Let all spirits rest. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Much Equinox yes because on takeoff they hit something so it made the gear catch fire xd
@iiThesouthwest - Roblox And More! No, some of the rear tyres were under inflated, they overheated and blew out on takeoff, catching fire as they were dragged down the runway. The flight was doomed the instant the landing gear was retracted.
these breaks my heart but cant stop watching,
Who were just wining the whole time “Land in the water”
Tameem that wasn’t water that was sand
Water landings are only made when absolutely necessary, when the plane was crossing the lake on its approach back to the airport, the situation wasn’t absolute yet as the plane still was somewhat controllable. The pilots also weren’t aware of how bad the fire was.
@@somerandomguy4812 they could have ditched it
@@Mo16030 then how can The fire Off
mohsen Javaed
The pilots had no idea how bad the fire was when they were flying over the water. You gotta place yourself in the perspective of the pilots. Think of it like this: You have no idea that your plane is on fire and all you know is that it’s hard to control the plane. You are well aware of how difficult and risky water landings are. You know that if you attempt a water landing, chances will not be on your side as your plane is extremely difficult to control. You are also aware that the airport is only a couple more miles away. From that perspective which option is better: Land a plane with disabled controls into the ocean and hope that the plane somehow doesn’t break apart or do you decide to continue onto the airport that is only a couple minutes away? Chances are that any trained pilot would decide to continue onto the nearby airport if they could make it; it’s the safer option.
The systems were failing all over the place because the fire was destroying them as it spread through the plane.
Goodiesfanful
When I bring my mixtape on the plane.
it's been more than a day of watching these horrifying air crash videos.. thank you for feeding my vanity
My heart sunk. I guess I would still choose to travel by air than be on the sea and sink into water among sharks. That is the scariest thing ever to drown and be eaten by sharks :/
Hehehe
Okay ji
Don’t know what’s worse - being eaten by sharks or falling out of a plane while on fire.
Don't worry, planes are pretty safe. You most likely won't encounter one.
Plane can crash into shark infested water too. Look up ALM flight 780
that’s my worst nightmare, being trapped by a fire and barely being able to breathe and the fact that you can’t go anywhere. What’s so sad is that they almost managed to land the plane
That is so unfortunate. It made me feel so sad for them :'(
Yea:(
Love watching these with a speaker in the airport
I feel totally sick watching that .. it's truly terrifying RIP
To everyone affected xx
A situation like this is heartbreaking no matter your perspective; whether you are a pilot, flight attendant, passenger, air traffic controller, related to a victim or just a viewer. Imagine what it would be like on a burning plane that is slowly dissolving. You cannot breathe and you know you are doomed, you are just left to count down the last seconds of your life. My thoughts go to anyone involved ❤️

I can't imagine how it felt in the cabin of that flight
This episode is also titled "Desert Inferno" from Mayday season 11 episode 9. "Under Pressure" was the title given the episode by the Smithsonian channel and appeared as Season 3 Episode 7. I'm putting this comment here in case anyone else is confused about the 2 different names for the same episode like I was. 😏
how did the fire happen?
Flight Control Problems
Underinflated tires overheated on takeoff; the tire rubber got so hot it started a self-sustaining fire.
Underinflated tires that the mechanic noticed were below the minimum for flight dispatch. He tried to inflate them, but there was no nitrogen gas available. And as always seems to happen, the project manager for the flight didn't want a delay, and readied the plane for flight anyway.
My father told the story the story was when the plane takeoff than tire got fire than pilot press landing gear up so the fire spread plane than the landing gear down fire all to the plane and my father had seen the all situation
3:59 best part
Because the horror ended
Roberts Stašāns yep
True
Hats off for the pilot's try
Not here to assign blame or whatever, but I'm a pilot an genuinely curious as to their decision making.
They pilots knew there was a fire onboard, but how long more were they flying after receiving the information that the cabin was filled with smoke from the flight attendant? Seems like a pretty long time to me since the fire had so much time to burn through the fuselage and cabin floor.
So why didnt they just put the plane down in the desert? I know the desert floor isn't necessarily flat, but I would assume that there would at least be a patch wide and long enough and probably easier to get to than a runway in a plane with control issues
The aircraft took off with two flat tires that, due to friction, caught fire. The landing gear was raised and the fire burned into the cabin. The aircraft exploded prior to reaching the runway. As for the comment about opening the doors in flight, the forward doors on a 747 can be opened in flight to remove smoke if need be.
pilot says "we have flight control problems" then "ok turn left heading 080"
Also, the stress of the pilots must be so overwhelming
I feel so sorry poor people :( I can't watch this. Anymore
Honestly I would just think they would just explode when the plane first comes on fire
We are asked if we have flammable liquids and then all airlines provide high proof alcohol. Hmmmm if someone pours it all over the carpet, it would not be difficult to have free bbq very quickly
Richard Kelch That's why Saudi Arabian airlines don't crash as much.
;)) no alcohol served? Good idea
Richard Kelch the fire came from the landing gear of the aircraft, not from the inside
Medlock Jodengrad right,but I imagine it would spread a lot faster

Never heard of this flight as long as I’ve been watching these over the years. Only found out about it from another commenter on another air crash video. He was right, this one is just down right scary to watch, let alone think about. & I can honestly say I’ve never said that about any crash I’ve seen, even with body photos.
I have just returned from Manchester and it's funny all I thought about was all these videos of planescrashing

Plane: *starts burning*
Pilot: We ArE hAViNg fLiGhT cOnTrOl PrObLeMs
Yeah, that’s because when a plane is on fire, you won’t be able to control it bud.
i’m 4 years late but the pilots actually had no clue there was fire until they were 2 miles from the airport every alarms was going off the plane was becoming extremely difficult to control there was no hope for them the pilots did everything they could the moment they put the gear up into the undercarriage was the moment the plane was doomed
3:44 I think someone’s under there
Oliver L nobody there
Great I’m sitting here at my gate at MCO and this pops up on my suggestion 😂
Loss of flight controls is the worst for any pilot. The fact that they were only 2 miles away from the runway was pretty unfortuntely, but a testament to how hard the crew tried to save everyone.
So here is what happened. It was taking off when it hit something on the runway, with the landing gear becoming dislodged. It was actually under the fuel tank. It flew upwards, igniting the flames.
The explosion destroyed all hydraulics, which is why they can't turn. In the cabin, it took just a second for everyone to realize that the whole plane is on fire.
People left and right are choking to their deaths. Meanwhile, the pilots attempted to turn back. But they had no idea that the hydraulics were destroyed as they were attempting to land.
Just 2,000 feet from the ground,
the captain (or maybe first officer)
lowered the landing gear. Unfortunately, it ignited a spark. Just one little tiny spark blew up the whole plane. It ended up diving straight into the desert.
Thats not what happened lol
It's the cancrod
jpb0000
That’s not what happened. What actually happened is:
The DC-8 actually had under-inflated tires in the landing gear because Nation Air rushed through maintenance and didn’t fill up the tires to save time. The crew of the plane had no idea that the plane had under-inflated tires and took off as usual. Eventually the tires ran out of pressure and just dragged along the runway for several hundred meters, heating them up. When the pilots retracted the landing gears, they unknowingly put a severely overheated landing gear next to critical hydraulic lines and ventilation, leading to a massive fire and a failure in those systems. As the fire grew bigger, more pieces of the plane tore away with other functions such as ailerons failing as well. When the plane was just two miles from the runway, it finally became uncontrollable and crashed just 9,000ft from the runway. It was later determined that as soon as the pilots took off and retracted the landing gear as normal, they didn’t stand a chance. Everyone was doomed the instant they took off.
jpb0000 you should get a job at the daily mirror
