For the entire last quarter of the video I kept thinking, okay but surely the ground proximity will kick in at any time. And then you dropped the bomb that it wasn't even *required* to be installed?? That's insane.
In a way watching these videos can make you less scared of plane crashes, since most accidents need to have a lot of independent factors go wrong simultaneously for the aircraft to crash.
Not to mention it also train you, even as a passenger, what sort of cues and clues to look for and relay to cabin crew, thus breaking up a potential chain of events.
It's like when I was told to read "Left Behind" to see all the signs of the coming end times. The signs were so ludicrous and impossible to align (Oh, Israel becomes a world agricultural power and Russia's entire missile envoy fails?) that I went away totally unconverted. Am Yisrael Chai, I guess.
My jaw dropped at the time from 200 to end of recording. I'm no pilot, so hearing a 3000 ft per minute descent has me going "that ain't right, plane's not supposed to do that", but hearing the actual time from 200 to impact left me with my head in my hands. Brilliant video as always Edit: PEOPLE SURVIVED?!!
There's nothing inherently wrong or dangerous with a 3300 fpm descent (I've done that), as long as the airspeed is controlled. The problem was obviously that they descended at that rate, unknowingly, right into the ground. They needed an alert, some sort of backup that told them their descent rate was very abnormal.
@@Annii_Oakley_ It's not a standard descent rate at any altitude in civil aviation, particularly in passenger transport. Passengers get uncomfortable with such a steep deck angle, especially nose-down, and it limits what the flight attendants are able to do. (Imagine handling their service carts if the nose is angled down at a steep angle.) It also requires a lot more altitude just to level off. The really important issue is airspeed. That can build up very fast at steep descent angles, and in high-performance aircraft, it's hard to slow down. In my case it was really down to my flight instructor (a former Mig 21 fighter pilot in the Yugoslav air force) doing hood training with me - I wear a hood that obscures my vision outside the plane and close my eyes while he puts the plane in some weird attitude, then I open my eyes and use only the instruments to figure out what the plane is doing and recover from the situation. Once I opened my eyes and we were maybe 35-40 degrees nose-down and the wings were rolled about 80 degrees to the right (both aerobatic conditions, >30 deg nose up or down and >60 deg bank angle). I think our vertical speed was closer to 4 or 5000 fpm before I recovered from that one. It wasn't dangerous, just very surprising and not strictly legal without both of us wearing parachutes. Honestly, I was very good at that exercise, and I think my instructor wanted to give me a situation that might have tripped me up or defeated me, but I recovered just fine. I'm not an unusually skilled pilot, but that particular skill is something I did well. And we were pretty high up for training maneuvers in a Cessna - something like 7,000' AGL. You're right in that very high rates of descent become more of a concern when you are closer to the ground, especially in high performance aircraft, because of the extra time and altitude it takes to level off.
The tension waiting for the “two hundred” warning was pretty intense. I also said “what?” out loud at the revelation that there was no ground proximity warning system in place. Great video yet again!
The graphics in this episode are gorgeous, very well made! When the V/S FPA switch was explained, I immediately said to myself "Oh shit.." as it became very clear what happened next that would doom the plane. Excellent video as always!
Well worth the wait, Chloe! Can't wait for your next big project. Ever since you dove into the electrical heart of the Airbus A320 in your AirAisa Flight 8501 video, I was waiting to see if you'd cover this or Air France Flight 296Q. Stories like this will be a great preparation for when you cover U.S. Airways Flight 1549. Dry wings and smooth cruising!
I remember this incident as it was covered in an episode of Mayday. I like the way you covered it. You brought angles into the accident that Mayday, for whatever reason, left out. It actually clarifies the context for me. Keep up the great work, looking forward to your next "feature-length" drop. Cheers from Canada!
I think Mayday did a good job, but their focus on the dramatic annoys me to no end, and it's so much worse since, like, season 8-10, somewhere in there. When it was obviously a low-budget production with the same Canadian actors appearing in every episode, those were the good shows.
Its a typical case of developers thinking, theyre genius, but forgetting to have actual users (pilots). Im an accountant, its exactly the same problem with new accounting programs, they never ask any actual accountants, so its always full of things, that needs changing, once its in practical use. Only ofc in the case of accounting, ppls lives dont literally depend on it. I really dont understand, how nobody during the development of the plane remarked on the design of that display, not even the test pilots. I can only assume, that the test pilots were so into the schematics, that they didnt see the pitfalls for those, who didnt know the plane inside and out.
@@dfuher968believe me, the developers want nothing more but run their prototypes by actual users but the way development is structured means the engineers making the decisions are often far away removed from the end users, they ask for feedback, and nothing useful filters back down the chain to them
@@tommihommi1There are software development methodologies that have real users involved all the way through. The only reason to not do it that way is to save time and money, as usual.
Chloe, I have been watching you for a few years now and I just wanted to say nice one.!! You're very brave and your content is fantastic. I had to face friends and colleagues with my life choices and found it sometimes very hard, not knowing what people would think of me. Thank you for helping your corner of the world to be accepting of alternate views and ways of being, you are an inspiration to many I'm sure. Keep up the great work.
And another note: 3.3 degrees descent doesn’t mean 3.3 degrees nose down. It means that if you looked at the profile, the angle between the flight path and the ground would be 3.3. It doesn’t necessarily say anything about nose attitude.
@@dew9103 not really. The plane doesn’t fly exactly where the nose is pointing. Angle off attack is generally different from nose attitude and different from flight path angle. It’s hard to explain, but you can be descending if your nose is pointing up, and also climbing when your nose is pointing down(ish).
Someone more knowledgeable than me can correct tgis if need be, but I'm fairly certain that many aircraft are built with the wing chord angle NOT parallel to the fuselage angle. IE, nose dead level doesn't necessarily mean wings dead level.
Your videos kept me company during 'night shifts' caring for my newborn this spring, whether I was awake or catching a little sleep when I could. You are one of my favorite channels and I have seen every one of your videos (some several times). Cheers and thanks for doing what you do!
Perfect as ever Chloe, the more I learn about aircraft and aviation the more absolutely sure I am I could never have piloted one and the greater my admiration of those who can and do. ❤
Thanks for including that little “Terrain ahead! Pull up!” sound bite, as I would’ve really missed that if it weren’t in a “plane-crashing-into-mountain” video.
Just discovered your channel and been binge watching it for days... As far as I'm concerned, it's the best channel of its kind on youtube. My compliments!!! I have a suggestion for you to look into, the crash of Martinair flight 495 at Faro airport on December 21, 1992 that caused the loss of 56 lives, with over a 100 passengers seriously injured. This crash was a real shock in the Netherlands, especially because it happened so short after the El Al crash in Amsterdam...Martinair wasn't very forthcoming with compensation and owing up to pilot failure and it left a lot of Dutchies disillusioned with our once favourite charter airline as far as I can remember. Just a suggestion for you, please keep up the excellent work, Chloe!
Hi Chloe! An excellent addendum to your wonderful piece last year about the Park Slope Air Disaster of 1960. You just keep pumping out amazing episodes and blowing everyone’s minds- at least mine, most certainly! As usual, I can’t wait any for the next one!
At some point one can really hope that those in cockpit design actually speak to pilots before development. I know Lockheed do this with their fighter pilots. I do adore this channel and I really do appreciate the fact that you choose to release these videos when they are ready rather than having to get something up. The quality is far superior now.
I really like your style. I watch a lot of air disaster videos, and this is the first of yours I've seen, and I definitely like your ability to explain things so clearly. You ought to be a professor -- if you aren't already. You have a natural way of making things clear. Keep it up!
Great Video! I have really missed the best voice on YT. I havent watched one of your brilliant videos for a while, but I am happily doing so now, having some lunch before starting my shift at work.
Chloe your videos are always so interesting and the way you present your ideas is different than the other channels that cover similar materials. Keep up the great work!!
I absolutely LOVE your channel! While the subject matter is morbid & depressing, I find your “breakdowns” very interesting & informative. For some reason, I find air disasters terrifying & fascinating at the same time. And your voice is calming & comforting. My only complaint is that there aren’t MORE breakdown videos, lol. I’ve watched every one & some more than once. But, I know that an enormous amount of research & work goes into each one. I think I’m able to speak for most people when I say that we appreciate you. Best always. ❤👍🏻🤙🏻
disaster breakdown, here is a tip to getting aircraft models correct in future episodes, if the plane has or does not have winglets and u want it to have or not have winglets, press X to remove or add winglets. it literally works in any flight simulator i have played and i am certain it will work in X plane11 & 12 or microsoft flight simulator. (this works in some models like the a320 neo). you can also press X on some aircraft to start/end boarding processes or load/unloading cargo. (this only works in X plane 12)
I rarely get to these videos this quick. Today is my day. Another masterpiece. I learn more with each video. I love the explanation of weather issues. I will probably listen to this again after work as I miss things while working. It would be great if you could be my weather provider. I actually learn things when it's you.
Thank you for your intensely awesome skill in your videos. What's so incredible is that you produce these productions on top of your day job as a meteorologist at your local TV news station.
@@WobblesandBean I don't know the station nor town that she lives in, somewhere in the UK, I'd reckon. But on many of the weather-related crash videos of hers, she has done a terrific breakdown of the weather.
Really? It was all over Europe, when it happened, tho ofc thats over 30 years ago now, so u might be a little young for it (now I feel old, being a teenager at the time). But its also been featured in an episode of Mayday/Air Crash Investigation. Tho Chloe's version is even better!
@@dfuher968 Yeah this is absolutely a case that was before my time. I was born at the tail end of 1998, and though I live in Europe, for various reasons I wouldn't really have heard about disasters like this growing up or remember them. Honestly in general, much of the '00s and even the early 2010s is a blur to me. I also haven't watched/listened to that much material on this subject generally - I've long had a bad phobia of flying so for the longest time avoiding this subject (despite it being something I find fascinating and - perhaps morbidly - curious) was the way to go for me. Chloe's work is perhaps the main exposure I have to that kind of content, and I only started watching her stuff in the last few months.
I hope you get a big sponsor for your next video so that you can tour the areas where the plane took off, where it was supposed to go, and where it crashed. Those videos are cool.
It blows my mind that a ground proximity warning isn't considered strictly necessary for a plane... Anyways fantastic work as always Chloe! Happy to see you get sponsored!
The comment about circling ILS approach being valid and safe is not necessarily true. While it is valid, circling approaches are deemed too unsafe by most modern airlines’ SOPs. Even if it wasn’t, circling is a visual maneuver and doing it at night in a big hey that they expected to even have excessive energy on descent in is just a lot. And in the plane, if something is “a lot”, it eats into your safety margins.
I'm a sub .. love the channel. Want you to know that I realised today that I've not had any notifications of anything from this channel in a couple of months. I came to look you up to see you're OK.. used to RUclips unsubbing me from things ... but I'm still subbed just havnt been notified. Also .. I couldn't remember your channel name... so searched aviation channels... air crash.. plane accidents... you name it I tried it and didn't see anything of yours. The way I eventually found you was because I remembered you visiting new York to the scene of the old old crash ... not everyone has covered that accident... so o searched new York crash .. despite the obvious results... Google told me of the 1960 crash.. I searched RUclips for that 1960 crash and finally found a video by you. It should not be so hard to follow a channel that I like . I'm glad I found you .. and have some catching up to do. Love and regards ☕
Glad to see you back Chloë, I have missed your videos. I really enjoy the no-nonsense way you put your videos together and cover topics. Have you ever looked at Eastern Airlines Flight 212, that crashed into the ground short of the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States? It's an older one, but led to the rules around a sterile cockpit on approach.
I have 2 airline disaster channels. Mentor Pilot and this one both of them are excellent. I'm not a pilot but I find these stories so interesting and inspiring. Thank you for your work. 💯👍🇺🇸
I am so grateful you keep creating. This channel and your explanations make things so easy to understand and later relate to my writing. Thank you so much!
This video made my day! Always waiting with anticipation for the next DB video, can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much Chloe for this one, it really meant a lot to me!
Hi Chloe, I recently discovered this channel and I've been binge watching ever since! Love your informative, thoughtful approach to storytelling. Your videos are superb and I have to say, I'm completely hooked! Wondering if you've covered the crash of Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701 by chance?
Hi my friend. Hope all is well. Love your aircraft videos. Would you consider doing World Airways Flight 30, for Walter and Leo? Fits into your DC-10 portfolio a bit. That accident always freaked me out just because of the family members that were not found. Proposing to you before Mentor or Green Dot (you and the other two are the only are the only related channels I watch), as I really appreciate your work. Thanks for listening if you saw this message, and thanks for all your great videos.
I’ve been fascinated by air disasters for quite some time now, and while I do love researching independently and looking like a bit of a maniac at the local library, your videos are a phenomenal summary and explanation of events that I’ve yet to see replicated very often. I’m a science communicator, albeit for more biological machines rather than mechanical ones, and I have shown one of your videos to classes I’ve taught on communicating complex and sometimes distressing material in a way that’s easy for a wide range of skill sets and experience to understand. They thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope some of them follow my suggestion to subscribe. Thanks for all your hard work, and cheers from a fellow lgbtq+ person just trying to live in peace.
“This is future Chloe talking from the editors office” 5:26 … LET US BE AUTISTIC CHLOE!!!! She just KNOWS us far too well LMAOOOOO Also thanks again for always providing captioning on your videos, helps with my tism more than I could put into words, it’s genuinely really appreciated ❤
Even with a GPWS, the steep grade of a mountain slope might have prevented the system from giving an early enough warning prior to impact. What we have here is a clear lack of situational awareness. Even with both pilots having relatively little experience in the aircraft, how could neither have noticed that their vertical decent rate was set at 3300 fpm? Aviate, navigate, communicate, as another RUclips creator often says. During the setup for final approach, one pilot flies the aircraft while the other monitors the BASIC FLIGHT PARAMETERS and calls them out ! Altitude and rate of decent, airspeed, heading, state of flaps and landing gear, etc. The mistake made with the dual purpose display was an inexcusable rookie error that never should have happened with two sets of eyes and two pilots that had that many flight hours. An easily and totally preventable tragedy. Great job on the video and thx.
As a highly experienced something or other I have come to a conclusion. These air disasters are virtually never one single stuff up. In fact rarely two. It is a combination of three or more factors. The first is night - just low visibility. Then we have poor communication, aircraft fault / maintenance , pilot error, fatigue etc.
The revelation that the GPWS wasn't installed and NOT EVEN REQUIRED was quite shocking, because I'm so used to it being so ubiquitous, let alone on an Airbus!!
I’m currently unable to get more than a few steps (not fun for a former pilot) but seeing this appear today made my sleepless night worth it. It’s like I unknowingly waited all night and day for this. Thanks for another fantastic video Chloe, you’ve done a great job on it as always. The way the 200ft warning barely even finished the words prior to impact was truly daunting. I knew enough about Airbus cockpit displays to see the direction this video was going and from the mention of the vertical speed/flight angle I instantly found myself saying “oh gods no, please say they didn’t”, but I knew the nature of this Disaster Breakdown was going to end only one way. Nothing could have prepared me for how fast that impact occurred whilst listening to the CVR though. The fact that there were any survivors was the next most shocking and amazing aspect.

I was thinking I would hear that the GPWS was there, but switched off since the plane was in landing configuration.
Me too 😢
@Sashazur yes what a disaster when they shut off their possibly only warning of danger. That has to be against the rules now.
I'm pretty sure that with the gear down the goes doesn't go off as the computer thinks the aircraft is landing.
I had the exact same experience. My jaw actually dropped when Chloe said the plane didn't have one.

disaster breakdown, here is a tip to getting aircraft models correct in future episodes, if the plane has or does not have winglets and u want it to have or not have winglets, press X to remove or add winglets. it literally works in any flight simulator i have played and i am certain it will work in X plane11 & 12 or microsoft flight simulator. (this works in some models like the a320 neo).
you can also press X on some aircraft to start/end boarding processes or load/unloading cargo.
(this only works in X plane 12)
Hey Chloe, thanks a lot for your well presented documentary with excellent visual aids and succinct narrative.
Looking forward to the next, Chloe. Enjoyed this one as much as your preceding works. Keep it up.👍
I rarely get to these videos this quick. Today is my day. Another masterpiece. I learn more with each video. I love the explanation of weather issues. I will probably listen to this again after work as I miss things while working. It would be great if you could be my weather provider. I actually learn things when it's you.
Grandpa, Disaster Breakdown finally uploaded a NEW VIDEO！
Thank you for your intensely awesome skill in your videos.
What's so incredible is that you produce these productions on top of your day job as a meteorologist at your local TV news station.
Does she have any of her news segments online? I'd love to see her cover the weather.
I didn't know this. That explains the excellent meteorological in several of her videos!
@@WobblesandBean I don't know the station nor town that she lives in, somewhere in the UK, I'd reckon.
But on many of the weather-related crash videos of hers, she has done a terrific breakdown of the weather.
So great to get another vid from you! I love your channel, my favorite among aircraft disaster formats, and great narration, thank you!!
This is one I haven't heard of before I believe. You learn something new every day - always always stoked for a new vid from ya
Really? It was all over Europe, when it happened, tho ofc thats over 30 years ago now, so u might be a little young for it (now I feel old, being a teenager at the time). But its also been featured in an episode of Mayday/Air Crash Investigation. Tho Chloe's version is even better!
@@dfuher968 Yeah this is absolutely a case that was before my time. I was born at the tail end of 1998, and though I live in Europe, for various reasons I wouldn't really have heard about disasters like this growing up or remember them. Honestly in general, much of the '00s and even the early 2010s is a blur to me.
I also haven't watched/listened to that much material on this subject generally - I've long had a bad phobia of flying so for the longest time avoiding this subject (despite it being something I find fascinating and - perhaps morbidly - curious) was the way to go for me.
Chloe's work is perhaps the main exposure I have to that kind of content, and I only started watching her stuff in the last few months.
EXCELLENT documentary. Great narration. A+ Keep up the good work! Subscribed, and I look forward to more of your documentaries.
I hope you get a big sponsor for your next video so that you can tour the areas where the plane took off, where it was supposed to go, and where it crashed. Those videos are cool.
Awesome vid Chloe! I'm happy and sad - happy that I got a great new video to watch 🙂, and sad that I gotta wait like another month to see you again. 😞
It blows my mind that a ground proximity warning isn't considered strictly necessary for a plane...
Anyways fantastic work as always Chloe! Happy to see you get sponsored!
The comment about circling ILS approach being valid and safe is not necessarily true. While it is valid, circling approaches are deemed too unsafe by most modern airlines’ SOPs. Even if it wasn’t, circling is a visual maneuver and doing it at night in a big hey that they expected to even have excessive energy on descent in is just a lot. And in the plane, if something is “a lot”, it eats into your safety margins.
Chloe your videos are so informative and edutaining! So glad I opened YT to catch a fresh release. Keep on keepin on!
Thank you so much!
I love the word edutaining!
She’s slowing down now sadly the sub count has gone up
Thanks for being a human. Those bot voices are annoying.
I'm a sub .. love the channel. Want you to know that I realised today that I've not had any notifications of anything from this channel in a couple of months. I came to look you up to see you're OK.. used to RUclips unsubbing me from things ... but I'm still subbed just havnt been notified. Also .. I couldn't remember your channel name... so searched aviation channels... air crash.. plane accidents... you name it I tried it and didn't see anything of yours. The way I eventually found you was because I remembered you visiting new York to the scene of the old old crash ... not everyone has covered that accident... so o searched new York crash .. despite the obvious results... Google told me of the 1960 crash.. I searched RUclips for that 1960 crash and finally found a video by you. It should not be so hard to follow a channel that I like . I'm glad I found you .. and have some catching up to do. Love and regards ☕
Thanks for another interesting video!
You rock, Chloe! Thanks for bringing difficult events to us all with respect and class.
Thank you so much!
Glad to see you back Chloë, I have missed your videos. I really enjoy the no-nonsense way you put your videos together and cover topics.
Have you ever looked at Eastern Airlines Flight 212, that crashed into the ground short of the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States? It's an older one, but led to the rules around a sterile cockpit on approach.
Love this channel. Great work
You have the most soothing pleasant voice! I love the content and appreciate your in depth research! Thanks for the great video.
I’ve been watching you nonstop for days. My husband thinks I’m crazy. Yayyyyy, for a new video! ❤
Great job, Chloe!
Good job Chloe, thanks again.
I have 2 airline disaster channels. Mentor Pilot and this one both of them are excellent. I'm not a pilot but I find these stories so interesting and inspiring. Thank you for your work. 💯👍🇺🇸
I am so grateful you keep creating. This channel and your explanations make things so easy to understand and later relate to my writing. Thank you so much!
This video made my day! Always waiting with anticipation for the next DB video, can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much Chloe for this one, it really meant a lot to me!
Very good story telling and explanations! As always! Thank you very much for your great work!
Your work is amazing and it speaks for itself. Thank you for giving these flights the full respect and truth they deserve.
long time fan here. great video!
What an intro! Better than we see in movies
Hi Chloe, I recently discovered this channel and I've been binge watching ever since! Love your informative, thoughtful approach to storytelling. Your videos are superb and I have to say, I'm completely hooked! Wondering if you've covered the crash of Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701 by chance?
Also, your videos introduced me to the music of Gavin Luke, so thank you!
I LOVE you and your fantastic channel.
This is Air Disasters quality great job! I can tell you put a lot of effort into these videos.
Once again another outstanding video. Thank you.
Great video as usual. I did find the music distracting at times. But this is an accident I knew little about. Very well explained.
Hi my friend. Hope all is well.
Love your aircraft videos.
Would you consider doing World Airways Flight 30, for Walter and Leo? Fits into your DC-10 portfolio a bit.
That accident always freaked me out just because of the family members that were not found.
Proposing to you before Mentor or Green Dot (you and the other two are the only are the only related channels I watch), as I really appreciate your work. Thanks for listening if you saw this message, and thanks for all your great videos.
Yay my favorite new RUclipsr
Brilliant video as always
Let's gooooo Chloe is here!!! Love your videos, so well done!
I’ve been fascinated by air disasters for quite some time now, and while I do love researching independently and looking like a bit of a maniac at the local library, your videos are a phenomenal summary and explanation of events that I’ve yet to see replicated very often. I’m a science communicator, albeit for more biological machines rather than mechanical ones, and I have shown one of your videos to classes I’ve taught on communicating complex and sometimes distressing material in a way that’s easy for a wide range of skill sets and experience to understand. They thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope some of them follow my suggestion to subscribe. Thanks for all your hard work, and cheers from a fellow lgbtq+ person just trying to live in peace.
“This is future Chloe talking from the editors office” 5:26
… LET US BE AUTISTIC CHLOE!!!! She just KNOWS us far too well LMAOOOOO
Also thanks again for always providing captioning on your videos, helps with my tism more than I could put into words, it’s genuinely really appreciated ❤
Great to listen to while studying for my trigonometry exam! Except your videos are so engaging I find myself sometimes distracted! 😂
You’ve developed a great knowledge. Thanks for another video.
Thank you for this, Chloe! Absolutely infuriating that the GPWS wasn't mandatory on this aircraft
I’m with you on this. Literally the stupidest thing ever.
Even with a GPWS, the steep grade of a mountain slope might have prevented the system from giving an early enough warning prior to impact. What we have here is a clear lack of situational awareness. Even with both pilots having relatively little experience in the aircraft, how could neither have noticed that their vertical decent rate was set at 3300 fpm? Aviate, navigate, communicate, as another RUclips creator often says. During the setup for final approach, one pilot flies the aircraft while the other monitors the BASIC FLIGHT PARAMETERS and calls them out ! Altitude and rate of decent, airspeed, heading, state of flaps and landing gear, etc. The mistake made with the dual purpose display was an inexcusable rookie error that never should have happened with two sets of eyes and two pilots that had that many flight hours. An easily and totally preventable tragedy. Great job on the video and thx.
That 200 to end so instantly was chilling 😢
Honestly, this kind of content is my favourite. Very interesting and generally shows how safe flying is.
Don't understand how so many people can comment on a video which is 30 minutes long... only a few minutes after it was uploaded!
Did those commenting actually view the whole video?
@@mtm4athey might be patrons they get early access
@@jaki8739 - Oh that's a good point - thank you. There had to be a reason!
@@mtm4a(hint)
As a highly experienced something or other I have come to a conclusion. These air disasters are virtually never one single stuff up. In fact rarely two. It is a combination of three or more factors. The first is night - just low visibility. Then we have poor communication, aircraft fault / maintenance , pilot error, fatigue etc.
Absolute masterpiece as always Chloe!
thank you for the high quality episode!!!
I can't believe you still don't have more subscribers! Amazing, detailed content every time and interesting information! Love your channel! 🩷👏🏽👏🏽
The revelation that the GPWS wasn't installed and NOT EVEN REQUIRED was quite shocking, because I'm so used to it being so ubiquitous, let alone on an Airbus!!
I really appreciate your crash explanations. Thank you so much!
your vids are great and done with compassion for the victims.
I’m currently unable to get more than a few steps (not fun for a former pilot) but seeing this appear today made my sleepless night worth it. It’s like I unknowingly waited all night and day for this. Thanks for another fantastic video Chloe, you’ve done a great job on it as always.
The way the 200ft warning barely even finished the words prior to impact was truly daunting. I knew enough about Airbus cockpit displays to see the direction this video was going and from the mention of the vertical speed/flight angle I instantly found myself saying “oh gods no, please say they didn’t”, but I knew the nature of this Disaster Breakdown was going to end only one way. Nothing could have prepared me for how fast that impact occurred whilst listening to the CVR though. The fact that there were any survivors was the next most shocking and amazing aspect.
Your channel is one of the few that I truly look forward to new videos from. Thanks for another great video, Chloe!
Amazing video. Thank you, Chloe. ❤
Thanks for the video, some many things could have save them but at the time, it wasn't implemented
