    This video was made with a significant reference to Curious Pilot's video on the same subject - www.youtube.com/@CuriousPilot90
    While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy in recreating the scenes, complete precision may not be achievable. An Airbus A320 is used in the animations due to simulator limitations.

      Just a small niggle: Nobody says "Runway nineteen" or "Runway twenty-eight". "Runway one-nine" and "runway two-eight" respectively.

    I always feel a sense of relief and happiness that everyone survived, and it's always because of the incredible skill and professionalism of the crew! I'm always impressed with the Captain's performance and the helpful input of his copilot or vice versa. It seems most of these survival emergencies are achieved with the help of the entire CREW in the cockpit!

      I work on those same engines you would be surprised how many times I seen that oring installed incorrectly. Honestly it’s a stupid design that allows to much room for incorrect installation. The thing is the mechanic should realize it’s not correctly installed because after the drain plug is torqued it will squish the green back up seal out. It should be obvious something is wrong but I’ve seen it like that many times. There are 2 orings on that drain plug a regular oring and a green back up oring the regular black oring just sits in the drain plug recess but people but people install it in a groove on the drain plug where it looks like an oring would go. Like i said it’s a stupid design it’s the only time I’ve ever seen an arrangement like that on any filter plug. Better to keep it simple.

      IMO what has been happening with Boeing is an American tragedy. They were one of our greatest, if not the THE greatest, companies our nation has ever produced. They represented what America was capable of to the rest of the world. And now they represent the WORST of what America has to offer...greed, fraud, corruption, putting short term profits ahead of safety, and possibly ever murder? Yeah...save money by opening a factory where there is a shortage of the skilled labor required to build aircraft. Outsource as much as possible to whoever happens to be the cheapest. Give in to the airlines who demanded a 60 year old aircraft be fitted with engines much bigger than it was originally designed for, but at the same time flies the same as before so they don't need to spend money on pilot training. Perform Jedi mind tricks on the FAA to get them to certify your Frankenstein of an aircraft. It's all disgusting! If you can't build a quality aircraft, then I am sure Airbus will be happy to do so. Game Over!

    Thanks for the video, the mistake was the Airbus design error and not the mechanics. Also Airbus has flaws in their ECAM, too little too late.
