On September 15th, 2006, an EasyJet Airbus A319 en route from Alicante in Spain to Bristol in the UK, suffered a dramatic failure over North-West France. The pilots of the aircraft were effectively flying blind, as they tried to understand what had gone wrong. Would they be able to make it to an airport before their situation deteriorated? And what else would go wrong before they could restore function to their plane's systems? This video explores the events of this day, and the important safety lessons which resulted.

What didn't these pilots have a satellite phone? I have watched utube pilots and they say they have a satellite phone.
@@killer-gaming you are a utube expert 🤣
I don’t know how you are doing it but honestly your content has been amazing to watch.
I thought you came out so strong and yet I still find myself impressed. Every single new post is better than the last.
I’m truly proud to say I support you on Patreon. 💯👏🙌
(Seriously I have driven my friends crazy how often I send them a link, they did not ask for. Not sorry. 🤷♀️😂✈️)
@@jbrubin8274 Thank you JB! Really appreciate your support 🙏
U missed this part I found elsewhere: When the crew attempted to shut the engines down, they continued to run until the fire handles were pulled. (also just subbed. good work!)
The thing in this episode that blew my mind is that the runway in Bristol was dry.
😂😂
I can relate, I live in the Pacific Northwest 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Oh My. You people!!
Well, they had one piece of luck go their way, at least.
😂😂😂
this is a crazy story I've never heard about. The electrical failure, the near miss prevented by ATC on gut instinct, the lack of radios, the fear of being shot down if they deviate, and a crew that managed the situation well with their limited Airbus experience. These were great pilots.
These two Pilots deserve a medal for what they went through
Yes they kept going, kept a cool head and worked through this nerve wracking scenario. 🙂👍
I don't know... I think I'd want to have a fighter come up alongside me in that situation. Just have to figure out how to say 'no electrical power' with hand signals. At least then you get someone who can communicate with the ground on your side.
@@cherokee43v6 If you don't know the hand signals, just write ELEC on a big piece of paper and show to the fighters.
@Siegfried Alemeir You have absolutely no understanding of how modern air traffic control works. Civilian ATC does not use radar. It is a radio transponder system. They do not ping radar signals off of the skin of your airplane, they ping a radio signal off of your plane's internal transmitter. If you're not transmitting, then they cannot see you.
Military radar is different, but it won't know what dot is what on the screen unless they have tracked it from origin or are in communication with it.
That first officer wasn't suffering from hypoxia.. It was a clear panic attack. Poor him, the captain knew this and that is why he said they don't need the masks because he was clearly feeling fine in comparison with his colleague
...
(*PS: For all the people below associating panic attacks to lack of courage, or virility, or whatever... let me clarify you something - in the face of a life threatening situation, the first officer body went instinctively into "fight or flight" mode. One of the many physiological reactions associated with it is the intake of extra Oxygen to be used to fight or to run away (flight). Since the first officer could not do any of the 2 because he was too busy sitting down and handflying an entire aircraft, the extra Oxygen went unused for its purpose so he ended up hyperventilating, causing dizziness, ect. which in result turned into a panic attack.
So the panic attack was just a byproduct of the unability to use the extra Oxygen, not necessarily due to lack of courage.
Hope that clarifies 😉 )
tragic side effect of the Ts and Qs influencing society
@@MrPaxio what?! Does the T and Q just mean what I think it does? What does that have to do with panic attacks?
Exactly
It's not everyday you handfly an approach from FL320
@@swiftay12 What the hell are you both talking about? What is the T and what is the Q? Dare to clarify, please?
@@aviationfan2637 Not only that.. It's not every day that you handfly an entire airplane with plenty of people's lives + yours on the line. It's not every day that you handfly an airplane that is in complete electrical failure. All the odds were against them and they made it. Quite remarkable, I have seen planes crash for much less! The first officer's panic attack was only the most natural thing to happen in such circumstances.
I am absolutely astounded that the ATC just stood up and clocked out as this was happening. Incredible
It is the French 😂
James, that atc needs fired, flogged, boiled in oil and then givin a good talking to.
@@aljack1979 hahahah
@@aljack1979 12 - 2pm lunch break without fail.
Smoke break
These pilots did a tremendous job. Listening to these stories taught me that when things of technical nature go wrong, human nature can make it a hundred times worse. The two men in the cockpit that day did every single thing right, despite the absolutely dire circumstances. Amazing!
Bro really just said out loud in English “should I decrease my altitude by a couple hundred feet or risk killing everyone” a very hard decision 🗿
Its crazy it reminds me of the 2002 Incident above Bodensee sadly where two planes collided because they were not listenign to TCAS but instead to a overwhelmed ATC on the ground which was working with limited equpment due to maintenance.
@@johnair1 The ATC then got murdered for something that was not his fault.
Your content just keeps getting more exceptional. The graphics are now incredibly lifelike, the attention to detail, such as close-ups of the panel switches, are amazing and now you're even including the correct cabin colours and aircraft model too, including such details as the EasyJet adverts on the seatbacks! Keep up the incredible work!
I'm delighted you appreciated all the details! We put a lot of effort into making these accurate ❤️
@@dylandettorre6583 it's not entirely fair to compare the two. The one thing I don't really feel interested in is the immense technical details that is written up or talked about that I think most people have no clue what he is talking about. GD talks about technical stuff, but cares to make it understandable for most. As is very much appreciated from me at least. So thank you GDA 🥰
@@Fluffy-Fluffy that’s a fair point I’ll delete my comment
@@dylandettorre6583 that's nice of you to do ☺️. I am not Totally fair either by saying Green Dot "cares about to explain the technical stuff". I don't think it's about caring so that was a little low blow by myself.
@@GreenDotAviation Just breaking into animating, myself... AND I can promise you "THE DEVIL is in the details." is VERY VERY TRUE...
In the interest of self-improvement, I've been out to scrounge through just about as much diversity in animated content as I can get my eyeballs on... AND I'm looking more and more "as an animator" and less and less as "rando in the audience"... AND I noticed a LOT just in the last week or so...
Call it "morbid curiosity" and it's a bit "off color"... BUT as a clear example of something in the details I can't unsee, I happened on a snippet of animated PORN and the female had no... erm... Female parts. No nipples, and NO VAG'! There was a big open and empty patch of real estate, skin-colored and everything... I KNOW where those parts are supposed to be... but they just... weren't there...
Now, granted... (and those who know, know)... For what she was doing at the time, it wasn't 100% necessary to have a vag'... BUT... it still kinda completely ruined the whole point. I even look back at myself, like... What difference could it make? In the scenario at hand, it's ONLY a bit of a slit with a little pink fringe. What do I really care??? BUT apparently, my brain can't let it go. She was ILL EQUIPPED to be sexy... as a female... and I can't unsee it.
SO while you're certainly not building porn'... No question. There isn't an exact parallel... BUT for every pixel worth of detail that you DO put into your work, I can promise you, audience MEMBERS (as in plural, and probably not a small plural) are GOING to appreciate it. Getting those right, is all part of "selling the shot" just as much as clean audio... That might well be "the hell of animating", whether I'm doing it with glorified cyber-puppets in Blender, or someone else is screen-shotting a video game or simulator... OR you've got some other clever suite for specialized output to make videos.
It may not essentially require the detail(s) in question to sell the shot at a minimal, but the better job you CAN do, the better you'll be recognized and remembered by your audience for it. You CAN have faith in that. ;o)
Those pilots did a great job. They were calm and didn't panic and everyone lived.
Funnily enough the pilot flying suffered a panic attack hence feeling code and dizzy. His instinctive fight or flight mode had kicked in. Steered it well enough nonetheless and thankfully they came out unscrapped
Hehe, instinctive flight mode.
@@eysankAnd how do you know that?
An extra detail from the report:
Bristol ATC first became aware of the emergency traffic inbound at 1110 hrs when they were called by ATC at West Drayton, who advised that EZY6074 was over the south coast of England in a descent, but not in radio contact.
Bristol ATC took action to notify all the responsible authorities to ensure the airport was prepared to accept the emergency aircraft. A full emergency was declared by the airport at 1116 hrs. All air traffic movements at Bristol Airport were suspended as the aircraft approached. When the aircraft was established on final approach, the tower controller broadcasted blind transmissions giving landing clearance and surface wind information.
Wow this was INTENSE!! I don't have enough words to describe how glued I was to this story, the graphics, the narration, the suspense, absolutely stellar work!!
And these pilots needs a raise, a medal, a promotion and to be named and hailed as the heroes they are! This is a Sully achievement!!
Getting safely down on the ground without any of your passengers or crew harmed, is the best feeling in the world for any truly dedicated pilot. Although a plaque, a pay bonus and a free vacation is never a bad thing.

Exact thought I had
sit down son
6 minutes 10 commercials. I take it they lived. bye
too many ads in this vid wtf
Why, no explanation? If you don't like ads then get RUclips Premium!
These pilots just couldn't catch a break. They tried everything and each time it didn't work. Incredible decision making in the end by them. Oh, and fantastic video once again
Some badass manual flying skills by the first officer ✌️💯🤘
My man hand flew a A319 from 320 onto a short runway with no clearance
Well done gentleman ❤️🤘✌️💯
These kind of stories really do give you an immense sense of respect for pilots. keeping their absolute cool through such a scary situation. hats off
These kind of stories make me worried about how computers take over our lives in all areas of life. There have been more and more unfixable system failures reported recently. Mainly Airbus but with The 737 Max, Boeing is joining our dependance on AI tech.
@@miguelkamal256Flying's never been safer
I find it incredible that it was ever thought acceptable for both radios to be powered from the same bus.
And 3/4 of the cockpit. With no checklist to fix it although $$$$ talks. It 'should' have worked
@@Jabarri74 3/4 of the cockpit are not powered by the same bus. There is more than 2 Bus’s but how they power each other is what was the problem. Pressing the alternate feed would have restored most items but for some reason it didn’t work.
I’d also expect the captains instruments, left VHF/ILS/transponder to all be powered from the (hot) battery bus so that they are always powered, at least whilst the battery lasts.
@@EdOeuna that would not be for very long if that was the case. It’s far more important for flight control computers and hydraulic pumps to be operating so the aircraft is still controllable rather than radios
@@tomstravels520 - minimum of 10 minutes on the 777. Enough to get things sorted out. Not having a second source for the transponder and radios is very strange on the Airbus. I’ve seen it a few times in the sim, with a generator failure and associated bus tie failure. They have to fail them both because of the redundancy of the 777.
the fact you kept the audio near-silent the entire video (except for the expected noises) really conveys the existential terror that the pilots faced in this situation.
The crew deserved a medal. Absolutely amazing effort.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@tavishgupta6789 You'd rather have the medals handed to killers than heroes?
@@Morbing_Time oh wow i donnot remember commenting that. must be my insensitive brother because he was watching videos on my phone last month 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️.
19 seconds of collision is so, so close, ATC did amazing
I'm curious as to why he wasn't providing additional seperation between the aircrafts once the transponder target was lost. RVSM 1000 feet of seperation is not allowed without all targets using active transponders.
Well they did and they did not. Having two aircraft on crossing flight paths cleared to the same altitude in the first place is a big no-no.
@@Anders127 True but it is all happening so fast, I'm not sure ATC had time to think about that. Priority is to do something. 500ft is still better than 0 !
@@SDRaaz I don't understand your comment. This is called lateral separation... 😂😂
Wow..good decision from the French controller to have American plane go lower..it could have gone either way
I was at the hold at BRS, waiting to fly to Scotland in our ERJ-145 that day- I was the Capt. We waited, and after about ten minutes, the Easy appeared and landed without a word on the radio. Hats off guys!
What an odd experience it must have been for all involved! Thanks for sharing
Yet a video on your channel states you were 12 years old in 2009?
@@Frank787-9 Isn't it normal to be a captain while being 9 years old?
@@Frank787-9 I was a bird ( a crow, to be exact) flying near to the airport when this occurred - truly an intense experience!
@@Frank787-9 Dont you have a flyable cardboard box at home??
I'm surprised nobody has made a Movie about this....This video was exceptional...The narration was Fantastic... Hats off to the Green Dot Aviation Team.....
These pilots earned their pay plus a big bonus! Great content, as ever.
It's really time to say that you are such a great story teller, both in speaking clearly and slow as well as how you do the visualization.
Best regards from a retired FI(A) at EDDH/EDHE - and I'm pretty sure your are on the way to become a very good pilot too 🙂
Delighted you enjoyed it and thank you so much for the kind words ❤️
@GDA: are you training to be a pilot? I did not know this for some reason, even though I have watched all your videos!
What an experience it would be to step on a plane some day and be welcomed by your calming and very familiar voice!
I'd be sure I'd be safe as you would know better than anybody else what NOT to do in certain circumstances.
Best wishes in your career!
@@PJay-wy5fx Thank you for the kind words :) I am training to be a pilot too yes, working on my PPL at the moment.
He's Irish..got the gift of the gab🤣😂
His voice made it so much better .".example like when Morgan Freeman narrator voice ".
I have two sons, one graduating this year as a pilot (is also CFI) in hopes of becoming a commercial airline pilot. The other is a sophomore with an ATC major. Watching these channels, and listening to my sons stories (especially the CFI pilot) has given me so much respect for ALL in aviation and he is flying just small airplanes at present. The ATC, the pilots, and the flight attendants are just an amazing team. Good job an telling this story and to all out there in those aircraft, thank you!!!

@@AverageAlien you can be the richest person and still not be able to do it, let that sink in… he did a great job has a father
Be quiet bro ur like 💀
@averagealien Ikr? Just single engine solo certification is 10k USD, here. I had to stop flight school to save money after I completed my 400 dollar written course. I've been saving for 3 years and am only now with enough money to continue. I wish OP was my dad!
Hundreds may die but my shift is over so yeah, best of luck everyone… walks away!💀
Air traffic controller moment
Outstanding commentary and episode.
I was on a flight from LA to Kailua Kona. We abruptly dropped 3000 (so we all found out later on the news) Capt apologized and explained it as an unexpected event. He knew more and didn't want everyone to panic. I was seated at the very aft next to the aft Stew area. If they knew, they showed no emotion either. Although we had been instructed to remain seated and belted, that was about it. An hour later I looked out my window and saw two fighters tailing us. Something was really wrong but the entire crew maintained professionalism and composure. I leaned around the bulkhead and asked. No one answered so I wrote it down on a napkin and threw it at them. They read it and the next directive was for everyone to close the window shades. Plane landed fine in Ohau (wrong island but much larger rescue operations) and everyone on board got a voucher good for two years. I never really found out what happened but I'm sure we had a sudden hydraulic loss and they had to fight that beast in. I thanked the Capt while disembarking and he looked warn out but came out to see if anyone was hurt. He laughed when he saw me in full dress blues (USAF) "Please on your next fight with us Major, don't throw your trash at my crew" Outstanding
Hats off to the captain for excellent airmanship. Even in this tense situation, he didn't lose his mind and handled things cautiously and professionally 🫡🫡
And also, lovely narration, to the point without any added bs 👍🏻
What a fascinating incident! Never heard about this before, truly dramatic and terrifying.
@@finlayclarke2685 huh?

as a video editor and avgeek, I just want to recognise what an amazing job you guys doing producing such high quality videos. I know sometimes it may seem like no one notices these things but using the apporiate models and going that extra mile in post production pays off. very well done guys, keep it up.
I'm really glad you noticed the details! We put lots of effort into getting them right 🙏
@@GreenDotAviation😅
Legitimately one of the most well produced RUclips channels I’ve ever seen
@@GreenDotAviation 😮
I definitely notice, which is one of the reasons why this is my favorite RUclips air disasters channel.
Outstanding work from the Green Dot Aviation team. I was literally holding my breath on how the events would pan out. Great story telling and graphics, nothing but praise for the whole team. I'm so glad everything worked out in the end and a bit surprised that no fighter jets were called to assess the situation either in France or the UK.
I am sharing the same thoughts, great channel.
There are signals that you can give to the fighter jets to say your radios are not working and there are things you do like copying their movements (rocking their wings) to note that you are complying with them. Good that it didn't get to that though.
@@iitzfizz They already squawked an emergency code. At that point surely it would have been wise to send a jet up to help guide them not knowing what their issue was and assessing the situation. Without doing so they had to rely on pure luck
So was I!
The French would have surrendered to the passenger plane.
If any other colleague finds imself in a situation such as this, remeber: You always carry at least one ELT onboard!! (On the 757 I fly we even carry two). It runs on its own battery for at least 48h on 121.5/243 Mhz or 24h on 406.025 SARSAT. Best advice I've ever got for com failure
I'm no pilot whats an ELT?
@@Jabarri74 The Emergency Locator Transmitter is basically a handheld walkie talkie which transmitts on most emergency frequencies. It is usually used for ditching on large bodies of water or remote areas to provide means of communication with rescue services. But it also works in flight and can be used in case the planes radios fail for whatever reason
I'm so thankful the pilots were able to land this plane safely and all souls aboard were safe.
I was totally gripped by the excellent way that you presented this story. Congratulations to the excellent pilots who did a great job of bringing the plane home.
Well done the flight crew. Just Brilliant!
Eeeeee finally! I’d just finished binge watching every single video on this channel 😭
I hope that first officer and captain got a reward for their fantastic efforts. So many others would have overloaded themselves and caused an accident but they made every single right call there was given their circumstances. And God the stress that the first officer must have been feeling as he had to fly the plane the entire time by hand must have been terrifying especially seeing as he had to either put his trust into the captain or rely on his own thoughts and decided to devote trust into the captain is wild to me. Wherever they are now I really do wish them the best.
The way the flight deck crew worked together is amazing
Thanks for the well made video
I know the aviation incident space on RUclips is quite congested but I always look forward to your videos a bit more than the others. The storytelling and depiction of events is brilliant, keep up the great work
I watch them all I don't care, I always make sure to watch Green Dot ones asap
Keep this
Yeah he's my favourite
There are signals that you can give to the fighter jets to say your radios are not working and there are things you do like copying their movements (rocking their wings) to note that you are complying with them.
Great video as usual btw, have flown EZY lots of times :) Great airline!
Hijackers can easily pretend to comply with the fighter jets though..
@@DancingDeity yes but they dont follow up.. they will not chase the fighter jet..
Great video! An excellent example of good CRM.
The "clunking" noise when there was a power interruption were the flight deck door strikers that cycle open/closed very quickly. They are loud and you hear it each time you disconnect ground power.
Thank you for your continually brilliant and informative videos! Incidentally the A319 involved was sold to United Airlines in USA in 2021
Ah I wasn’t aware of that, cheers!
I've not worked on avionics for about 2 decades, but latching and momentary switches were a thing on Boeings up to the 777 when I stopped being hands on.
I was also screaming squawk 7600 and drop the rat quite early on in your video. Bench tech not a pilot but I know if fighters come up to say hi then they'll have a look initially then you wobble your wings and follow them. Quite possibly to Stansted. Shooting down wasn't really an option but I get that fear.
If it had been Ryanair then it's different, the pilot is duty bound to try to sell scratch cards to the military jets first and they'd just shoot them down as a response.
I lost it at "if fighters come up to say hi" as if it's something chill that happens every day.
@@mkjirak Fighters have been used to help guide stricken aircraft down, they have the speed to intercept, that's their job.
This is spectacular. Your level of detail is breathtaking. I work in a totally different industry. Sound Engineering. Switches....'momentary, latchless, illuminated switches'. When the power supply fails to the bulb or LED light, the 'STATUS / POSITION' of the switch is impossible to determine. Annoying and problematic in my industry. In Aviation : you had me squirming. Platinum content, Sir. 😊♥️
Thanks for the kind words ❤
Don't "SIR" me! The names Shirley!
*rocker switches* , labelled.
Even if the click-engagement is faulty, and the lights don't work, on and off positions are permanently unambiguous.
"If it ain't busted, don't fix it."
First I was wondering if it really needs a 32 minutes long video about this incident. But quickly I got hooked watching it. 10:55 gave me goose bumps.
Never expected EasyJet to experience something like this!
It's very nice to see the quality improve over time! Thank you for providing fuel for my special interest of aviation.
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 😄
Nice nice
Excellent airmanship from both pilots. Well done, gentlemen.
KUDOS to this pilot team!!! Worked amazingly together and saved many lives!!
Outstanding performance of flying by the captain and first officer.
Amazing attempts, CRM and brainstorming at resolving their issues.
This kept me at the edge of my seat 😶. Nice video as always, The intro part looked pretty cool! Well done🎉
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nicee niceeeee
Sometimes we just run out of words or language support when the work is exceptionally awesome. Man hats off to you. I don’t have any suitable words to describe how I feel when I watch your videos…please continue this for us. many thanks
These two pilots deserve supreme recognition for their actions that day….a clear & logical approach to what was a very difficult situation.👍
Your content just keeps improving! Keep it up!! 👏
Thank you 🙏That's what we're aiming for
Spectacular work! Everyone should be proud of themselves. This is one of my favorite channels ❤
I was in the flight to return from my vacations, we were all looking at ourselves when we saw the american airlines jet on our right at such close distance ! But the flight crew did a fantastic job at making everyone feel comfortable. The landing was pretty smooth and we were all so reliefed when we landed !
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮wow, wow, so you still remember this incident even though it happened in 2006.
Great quality from this channel! Thank you. I also want to give gratitude to the crew and to the ATC for handling this hellish nightmare. I was kinda expecting at the end of this video that the two pilots should have been given an award or recognition of some sort.
Whew! That was a nail-biter pretty much all the way through! Intense! Thanks for putting up this video, this was an incident with which I was not previously familiar. Looking forward to more of your content. Cheers from Canada!
Glad you enjoyed it! Much more on the way ✈️❤️
What an amazing story,pilots and atc did an amazing job with 0 comunication
And another amazing video by you..😀
Thank you so much 😀
Wow, really well done on this one! It's rare for me to come across a commercial aviation story I haven't heard, but this was one, and you told it exceptionally well. Great pacing. I could really feel the pilots' bewilderment. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
This was so exciting to watch, the narration, the visuals, the attention to detail everything was so good. I wouldn't mind if videos of yours get longer! Good job Green Dot Aviation dude.
Watching your videos you do such an excellent job at building the suspense as to the outcome. It's like watching a murder-mystery, but with aviation as the genre. Please never stop what your doing.
I've never herd of this incident before. Ty for bringing it to all of us in such a professional manner Your the best on youtube with facts and your voice! keep up the great work!
I can't think of a single button on a 737 that would become ambiguous in such a circumstance. However, I think a 777 has overhead panel buttons that (at least) were like this.
I've read over 2000 pages of 737-800 documentation and have over a 1000 hours on the PMDG 737-800.
That might sound a bit silly, but for a frustrated pilot it's actually exhilarating AND makes these videos so immersive.
First time this channel has appeared in my feed. 100% new subscriber. Great stuff!
My gosh, this video has shaken my confidence in Airbus!
Your videos are always incredibly done, had me on the edge of my seat!
Glad you like them! ✈️
The CRM was excellent. One thing the captain did was to confirm that the aircraft was flying in 'alternate law' which means that some of the flight protections were in degraded mode.
Also, thank you for the extra level of depth. I'd watched another channel that covered this incident and the near miss incident wasn't covered at all so thank you for that. This makes for a more serious incident overall.
I was not expecting my whole body to be shaking when listening to this video, I can’t imagine how tense the situation would have been for everyone onboard
Another FANTASTIC edge of your seat nail biting episode. Your content is just as good or better than anything a major studio can produce. Job well done‼️
One of your best yet. Make you wonder could Mh370 suffered similar fate with electric bus faults..
It appears that the 777 is wired differently to the Airbus, so it should never happen like this, but never does happen in aviation…
I was thinking the same.
This actually made my heart race and my blood pressure rise 😮 I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until I exhaled when the landing gear came down LOL
As an aviation nerd, I've watched hundreds of YT videos covering a spectrum of military & civilian aviation incidents from close calls to crashes. This is the first video that truly terrified me!
What an amazing story. It was so well-told, so clear, so engaging. Thank you very much! ❤
Absolutely 💯 % excellent account of this astonishing incident. Lessons learned. Thank you for this brilliant video.
I fell in love with your videos as soon as I discovered your channel, man your content is phenomenal. All the time whenever I watch one of your videos I'll share the stories you cover with my friends and family cause you make these topics so interesting and easily digestible. Great work man ❤
Thanks so much, glad you're liking them ❤
This is so wonderfully done, and I actually watched a video about this exact situation right before this one and this video is definitely more detailed. And I like the fact that you're talking. It's very hard to watch these types of videos on other channels when I have to read all the words on the screen
been binging your channel for days, soooo good. love your voice. I always tear up at the weirdest moment with your videos, like ATC declaring full emergency on airport on instinct, absolute professional right there.
As always another GREAT detailed video, my thanks to the entire team!
You know..... you manage to make this a thrilling dramatic story without overdoing it.
I realy was stuck to my chair wondering what was going on and how it would end.
Then again... i just don't like Airbus... to many cases of 'software does that for you'
Great job !
Absolute edge of the seat kind of episode. Excellent work man
Love your Sound Design mate!
I’m an audio engineer myself and I know how much time it takes to get it all clean without feeling empty- good job man
Thanks for this! Glad you think it works, I put a lot of thought into it :)
This was your best video yet! You're a great storyteller. Keep it up!
You are now one of the top aviation channels! Soo well produced and researched. Thank you👏👏👏
How good this this guy though really at making these videos. The videos are unbelievable and his knowledge is impeccable and his voice is just perfect for this.
Always great seeing a new video from you! Thanks for all the content you bring out!
Glad you're enjoying it! Much more to come ✈️
thanks pilot and everyone involved saving one plane , bless to you all
Great video and helped me understand the problem. Hope the crew were congratulated on excellent work. Sounds like they made all the right calls, in spite of no radio.
Had me sat on the edge of my seat! Fantastic content on your videos, thank you.
This is a very good video, I think one of the best you have ever made on this channel. Hats off. Also glad the plane landed safely, significant performance by the pilots and clear thinking under huge pressure, also having flown this aircraft not many hours i their careers.
Watch the previous episode of the UPS cargo plane and tell us which one you like better.
This is an incredible story I've never heard before! Those pilots did an unbelievable job with all the odds against them, and the teamwork between them with their very limited flight hours on the Airbus was phenomenal. Also the various ATC controllers were outstanding in helping even when they couldn't get in contact with them, from the guy getting the American plane to descend with seconds to spare to the tower at Bristol closing the airport and getting all the services out to keep the plane safe once they could see it was on its planned flight path and under control.
The story of this flight has just joined a short list that includes the Gimli Glider, Taca 110, United 232 and the Miracle on the Hudson as one of my all-time favourite stories of airmanship against the odds. I hope that easyJet realises just how amazing these two pilots are. For a budget airline, there is a reason easyJet are one of the best.
Congratulations on the channel, it has now become my top go to source. Keep up the good work!
This is my favorite aviation disaster channel.
Great video! Wow this had me on the edge of my seat! I had never heard of this incident before! So glad they landed safely in the end and that the mid-air collision was avoided!
Watching this only hours after flying into Bristol, interesting to know it has one of the shortest runways in the UK. Wonderful team work.
marvellous video. the pilots and all concerned including air traffic controllers did a fantastic job. i was living in spain at this time with family using easyjet flights to bristol and did not know about this. i am very relieved all were safe
Nice tale, did not know about that. And excellent storytelling!
If I remember correctly, US Navy removed much of the touchscreens from the newest ships and replaced them with traditional buttons.
The classic switch button where you can see the state is pretty neat invention, for some applications it's better than cool and fancy modern inventions :)
Best Aviation channel on YT! I am really interested in your opinion on the Air France 447 crash. Hopefully that one is on your list of future videos.also, I'd like to Thank you for covering tragedy respectfully. For people who have lost loved ones in terrible accidents it can be a very sensitive subject.
That was a good video & one that had my full attention . Thank goodness they were able to land safely . Well done to the pilots . Everyone was very lucky the matter was resolved safely .
One of the best aircraft incident explenation videos I've ever seen. Thanks!
Fantastic job telling this amazing story! The narrative and detail of your video is exceptional. Those pilots and air traffic controllers did an outstanding job in a very stressful situation. I am so impressed.
