    Here at Disaster Breakdown we have looked at a lot of different transporting disasters, spanning decades. And when it comes to those accidents that are a bit more unbelievable, this one probably takes the cake. The story behind this air disaster from 2010, when I first read about it, I was personally stunned to find out that this was even real. A small propeller commuter plane was making a routine landing where it suddenly pitched forward and dove into the ground. The pilots seemingly losing control of their plane unexpectedly. The accident killed most people on board. The reason behind this sudden loss of control will leave you baffled.

      It didn't. It was in something that was put in the baggage area and escaped at just the wrong time. Apparently the baggage area is open to the cabin. If the passengers had just stood on their seats instead of rushing forward, they would have survived.

    ...I'm reminded of a Florida Man story. A Florida man tried to rob a Wendy's restaurant by throwing an alligator in the drive-thru window.
    Alligators are less insanely aggressive than crocodiles though, and the poor 4 foot gator hid under a table in the work area while the staff freaked out.
    It was later caught and set free in a wildlife preserve.
    The would-be robber was caught, but not released.

    I remember reading about this crash in regional news as I happened to be in that part of the world at the time. It caused quite a stir as the pilot was also a British national. Even back then the 'crocodile on a plane' headline was so bizarre the more credible news outlets in the region asked for the black box recordings to be made public before they could run with the story. which to my knowledge never happened. RIP to all the passengers and the croc that lost their lives from this disaster.

      I dont think the crocodile could have been killed. It says they tracked it, how does anyone track a croc. Very little chance of the original one being found again. Ofcourse if they held it in some cage, they could do it. But that just doesn't make any sense. Imagine a plane crash site with a free crocodile, would any rescuers come and say "lets pick up this crocodile, it may turn out to be an important piece of evidence." Most likely the croc just walked away from the crash site to the nearest river/jungle.

      Sad thing is given there is a rampant illegal Wildlife trade going on, it seems it was only ever meant for death. So when you think about it, its alternative fates would've been:
      - Being killed with most of the passengers ( I can't imagine even a Croc would normally be able to survive such a crash at both the speed and angle of that crash, fire or no fire)
      - End up not in a crash but carried off to be killed for its skin and meat.
      There really was no happy ending in this roulette wheel of chaos.

      I know I'm flogging a dead horse, but Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket(thanks to The Onion for that), but even thinking of it now, it still sounds bonkers and something right out of The Onion!!!!!!! The whole thing is documented, but how does a pilot flying that low and slow even begin to recover control of the aircraft?!!!! How would you even train for a contingency such as that severe a change in "cg"?
      I only ever got to PPL so I'm really curious if anyone out there has had really high-level training for scenarios like this(clearly "cg" issues, not crocodiles)?

    • @beenaplumber8379
      @beenaplumber8379 7 месяцев назад

      @@palindrome1959 Inflight CG issues come up in cargo flights, and cargo pilots probably have more training in that regard. Inflight cargo shifting can be deadly. I also have a PPL, and I got my part 121 dispatch license long ago. I didn't work as a dispatcher for long, but I did all that training. The training is the same as the ground school for an airline transport pilot. When I released flights (737s), I did all the weight & balance manually, so I've had some training beyond PPL.
      It's not uncommon for all passengers to move to the front or the rear of the plane in an inflight emergency, such as a fire in the back or... hijackers in the front. Pilots can manage this without difficulty because they are generally at cruise speed. They can trim for the new balance condition and keep their speed up to maintain adequate airflow over the elevators.
      This plane had several problems (aside from the obvious). They were on approach, so they were flying at a lower airspeed, so their elevators might not have had enough down force to correct the condition. (You know how the controls are less effective at lower speeds.) There might not have been enough time to adjust the pitch trim, and even if they had, they still need elevators with enough force to overcome the change in balance. They were at low altitude, which means very little time to make adjustments. And they were fully loaded. You might remember from your own training that as you get closer to maximum gross weight, the fore and aft tolerances for CG get smaller and smaller.
      Sudden load changes on takeoff and approach are awful. There's a video of a cargo 747 taking off. Its load shifted aft, and its nose went straight up. Then it stalled and crashed in flames. That's not too different from what happened in this flight - sudden and severe load shift during low & slow flight. There's not much the crew can do.

    I can actually believe this story 100%. My first time in DRC, while in a taxi to my hotel, a hawker knocked on my window while we were stuck in traffic. He was holding a tortoise and was asking if I could buy it. Perplexed, I turned to the cab driver and asked if people there keep tortoises for pets and he told me, "no, he's selling it to you so that you can go home with it and slaughter it for meat". So I guess the guy would have fetched some good dollars selling the crocodile for meat.

      I dont think thats even possible. The plane ticket cost would be way too high. Only possible scenario is that he was planning to sell the crocodile alive. Probably as an exotic pet, or a zoo attraction. Otherwise he could have just killed it first before putting into a bag. Anyway, as with all such countries including mine, truth hardly ever comes out. The level of administrative obstruction to it is just too high. If the truth ever comes out, it does so inspite of the system, rather than due to the system.

So, in theory, if say 50 people (10-20% of the total passenger count of a Boeing 747) walked to the front section of a large airplane (B747) during takeoff, it would struggle to get off the ground? Or would the weight of the people be negligible compared to the weight of a larger plane?

At the last minuet, a number of college students aboard the aircraft panicked, and rushed to the extreme rear of the aircraft in hopes of surviving a possible crash, (they had been told the tail section of an airliner was the safest place to be in a crash). The sudden change of CG made the aircraft handle much different than it had handled just prior to touchdown, and the plane stalled, turning a route emergency landing into a crash. As a result, several passengers needlessly lost their lives.

    You’re right - this is the strangest reason for a plane crash it almost makes me want to check the date to make sure it’s not April 1st. It’s a pity the owner of the beast couldn’t have quickly tied a bandage or a belt round its snout or grabbed its tail and yanked it back into the large baggage section of the plane. I guess it must have been sedated initially and this wore off too soon. I suppose the passengers didn’t know how important the centre of gravity was, particularly at that stage of the flight. This would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic. I’m sorry the crocodile was killed in such a horrific way and not taken to a sanctuary or released back into the wild. That flight could have used Steve Irwin being on it!
