  • On August 21, 1995, Flight ASA 529 took off from Atlanta, Georgia, headed for Gulfport, Mississippi. Shortly after take-off there was a loud thud, followed by a continual thumping noise. The 26 Passengers on board could see that one of the four propeller blades was now just a stub and the mangled mass of the engine was glued to the left wing. The plane was now effectively flying on one wing!
    What caused propeller failure?

    Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 2 Episode 2 "A Wounded Bird": Captain Ed Gannaway and First Officer Matt Warmerdam were unaware of what had happened. They couldn’t see what the passengers could see and were desperately trying to wrestle control of the damaged aircraft. The plane was losing altitude at an alarming rate. A quiet panic was spreading through the cabin. The Flight Attendant, Robin Fetch, closed all the window blinds. One passenger scribbled a farewell note to her children.

    The guy interviewed about his conversation with the flight attendant should at least give her credit for trying to keep passengers calm. What was she supposed to tell them? We're all gonna die. Give the poor woman credit for hanging in there and being brave.

    When the farmer couldn't talk anymore...the grief and sorrow was palpable.

    All those neighbours and rescue workers seem like the salt of the earth. Would love to live in a community like that.

    That ER doctor is very empathetic. I want him attending me if I'm ever in an accident

    I once burnt my hand while cooking. It was easily the most pain I've felt in my life, and that was just a 2nd degree burn on half of one hand. I can't imagine the pain of having 90% of your skin burnt. I hope they rest in peace.

    Dr Bobby Mitchell taking the time to tell the corpse of the captain that he is a hero is truly remarkable and so touching. It made me well up when he talked of having done that.

    So heartbreaking. I love the compassion of the emergency room doctor and everyone's compassion.

    This was, for me, the most moving of the series. I wanted to hug all the people in this episode. They just seemed like really good people who experienced an incredibly terrifying tragedy.

    The moment captain Ed wiped the tears of the health worker was extremely touching 😢

    I love the story of the man reuniting with ex wife and family. A lot of people say they change from traumatic events but he truly did. They all seem to appreciate life and look at it as fragile in a new way. It’s sad that it takes these types of things to make us realize these things but these people are good examples of how we all should try to live.

    The attention to detail is, as always, phenomenal. Technical to makeup and prosthetics, every moment is covered in a way that draws us into each episode, putting us on that flight to better understand what happened to the aircraft, the crew, and the passengers.

    Great job to the crew and to the emergency personnel. The firefighter who said no I won't tell Amy you will have to actually brought tears. I'm from Georgia and lived approximately 20 miles from there when this happened. God Bless everyone affected by this tragedy

  • @foveauxbear

    I normally don't tear up but the graphic description of the burned passengers, the pilot dying, the man saying tell my wife I love her. So much sorrow, horror, and physical devastation. It just got me.

    Both moving and saddening... and those words are inadequate. The professionalism of the crew stands out. Very sorry to hear Robin was permanently affected such that she never returned to that work. Her concern for the passengers and even the medical team members stands out. That's the kind of people you want crewing your aircraft.
