    I was on that Logan air flight. It was due to land in shetland, there was a flash that lit up the cabin of the plane in blue. Then we plummeted. A man a few rows behind me had a panic attack and after we leveled off the air hostess came and tried to comfort him. There were lots of people very shaken.
    I remember the hostess giving out little sweets and drinks trying to calm people down.
    It seamed like quite a while before we got an announcement from the captain, he said that we had been struck by lighting and the plane was in full working order. The reason we decended was to get clear of turbulent air and avoid further lightning strikes and as a precautionary measure we'd return to Aberdeen.
    It was only after we landed in Aberdeen we were told how serious the situation was. Every passenger was taken off the plane, we never went through the normal arrival gate instead we we're taken to an air lounge in the airport and waited there until the captain and co pilot came and addressed us all personally and told us what had happened. They told us the reason for returning to Aberdeen was because the aircraft was hit by lightning It would need to be inspected before being able to fly again and it was easier to have that inspection done in Aberdeen than in shetland.
    We were all given good accommodation for the night and flew to shetland the next morning.
    It was 5 days later when I read in the local news paper what had actually happened and that the decent we had made in the aircraft wasn't actually planned.
    Funny thing is my mother was waiting in the car at sumburugh airport to pick me up. At sumburugh airport you have to drive over the runway to get to the airport and there are gates that close when a plane is arriving/departing to stop vehicles short of the runway. My mum was stopped at these gates and watched the plane get struck on final approach then dive. She thought we were going to crash. It was 2 hours later before we landed in Aberdeen and I could call her. This happened a few years ago now and seeing this video, which I didn't know even had this flight on has made me realise just how lucky we were! Really didn't expect to see this, I had to re-watch it to make sure I heard the details right, caught me totally by surprise seeing this.

      Yeah, their brakes were indeed faulty, reason why it took long to take off because the brakes on left wheel were still locked, that could be the reason why they were dragged and plane dragged a little to the left. Then, after landing gear was retracted, the overheated brake wheel melt the hydraulic line causing the liquid to drip onto the brake wheel and caught fire. The alarm in cockpit for overheat did light up, but after some time it switched off because the fire disabled it. Yeah, they tried to almost land, but it banked to the left, then crashed on runway, wing 1st then upside down.

      I'm from Atlanta too. We left on the plane from Atlanta to Miami, Florida to say our final goodbyes to my sister who had cancer. About 30 minutes before landing the plane took a straight nose dive, we had our seatbelts on due to pilot telling us turbulence ahead. That was a real scary moment. Once landed everyone eerily got out of their seats and off the plane in complete silence. I think we were still in shock about but the pilots never said a word about what happen as to why the nose dive. We did fly back in a couple of weeks but afterwards I never flew again. I'll never forget that experience.

      Appreciate that. He should have been mentioned for that. I’ve watched so many of these I’ve really thought about what I’d do…and I am convinced helping others keeps your mind off your own fear and combined with adrenaline puts you in the mindset to concentrate. Then again, it can be a weakness like in this case. I guess it comes down to could you live with yourself if you saved yourself? I think most of us could, though survivor’s guilt would be something we’d probably live with forever. But I don’t feel like every person should be expected to help strangers at their own life’s expense.
      As a teacher I’ve been in several unannounced lockdowns, none of which involved a shooter thank god and knock on wood, but if we aren’t given prior notice we know it’s not a drill. I become a robot, focused on my main objective which is to make sure the kids have an escape route and if they do not that they are hidden, quiet, and that I am beside the door with my IAD (improvised art device) ready to buy them time. I don’t care what I have it’s nothing against an AR, but if im quick enough I can I jure them before they get me giving my students a chance. I taught middle school for 9 years and now teach high school….while they are still kids it’s a little easier knowing they’re mostly able to think a little more reasonably and im confident there’s be at least one that would step up once im down to help direct things. So I’ve felt that actual terror (I’d rather be in a plane crash to ge honest, where the lives of 30 kids don’t rest on me, someone with the reflexes and athletic prowess of a banana slug. It’s awful because I may not be nurturing but I am fiercely protective and god help anyone coming for my students, but at the same time god help me because the likelihood I am able to do much of anything is small. After that flash of “oh my god” I immediately within a second have all attention on students, making sure they are doing what they need to do, and once they’re in place im beside the door. It’s that focus which actually calms me down. I don’t get upset until after it’s over, and even then I have kids with me and I need to appear in control of myself for their sakes. And all of that helps me think clearly and run through scenarios in my head. Im convinced that if there were a chance for us to live that would be why. Fear induced tunnel vision. Im hoping I could do the same in this situation.

There are some cases where the cause of the crash is not known and that's disclosed within the documentary.

    I was on a plane that was landing in Bozeman, Montana, and suddenly we went from final approach to rapid accent with nothing but land out the windows on one side and sky the other. You could feel the force of the acceleration keeping you in your seat.
    We leveled out and the pilot comes on the intercom and goes "hi folks, this is your captain (captain name here, can't remember now) speaking." And then something about how we had to abort because a void passed in front of us on the radar and they lost sight of us. Then he closes with "at no time were we in any danger."
    I was in a window-seat on the "nothing but sky side."

    James Polehinke, the first officer, suffered serious injuries, including multiple broken bones, a collapsed lung and severe bleeding. Lexington-Fayette and airport police officers pulled Polehinke out of the wreckage. He underwent surgery for his injuries, including an amputation of his left leg that confined him to a wheelchair. Doctors later determined that Polehinke had suffered brain damage and had no memory of the crash or the events leading up to it.[25][26][27][28] In May 2012, Polehinke filed a lawsuit against the airport and the company that designed the runway and taxi lights.[29]
    The estates or families of 21 of the 47 passengers filed lawsuits against Polehinke. In response, Polehinke's attorney William E. Johnson raised the possibility of contributory negligence on the part of the passengers. When asked by the plaintiffs' attorney David Royse, who criticized the statements, to explain what that meant, Johnson replied that the passengers "should have been aware of the dangerous conditions that existed in that there had been considerable media coverage about the necessity of improving runway conditions at the airport."[30] At the time when Johnson submitted the contributory negligence defense, he had not yet been able to speak to Polehinke. By the time that newspapers reported on the court documents, Johnson said that he had already informed Royse that he would withdraw the argument.[31]

    • @Monicaerikarita

      I won’t know unless it happens, but I envision some initial terror, then myself making sure those around me are doing what they need to do (I am calmer and much better in those situations if I go into teacher mode and don’t pay attention to myself), then if that point comes where I can look at a flight attendant’s face and see we’re probably not going to make it I want to sit back, close my eyes, and just do my breathing exercises while I think about good things. I think being resigned to fate might be weirdly calming.
      I watch a lot of these so I’ve thought about it.
      If we got on the ground and I’m still alive I’d hope my adrenaline would help me find a hole and exit. If I were able I’d help strangers. My weakness would be kids…I specifically choose to teach the older ones, but even though I’m NOT nurturing by nature I am fiercely protective and that would impede survival for me as I could not bear to leave a kid that appears alone or I’m trouble. But that’s ok with me, my mindset of “kids come first period” at least means if something happens to me, the kids can live. In the US we have to think about that with ever increasing shootings, and unlike my colleagues I don’t have a partner or my own kids at home so that choice is easy for me and ingrained in me now.
      Dunno, feel like everyone kind of does better if they have something to concentrate on that can take full attention, so helping others (not saying at your own expense, but if it’s an option) probably would help most of us think straight and pay more attention. Then if you do make it to the ground you’re already in that mindset and with your adrenaline combined with clear thinking, it’s still possible to make it.

A similar crash where the pilots are too high during the approach and then at the last seconds were way to low. They didn't make it but they could if they go around a few seconds earlier.

    I had to look up the UPS to Birmingham because I didn’t remember hearing about it, and thought if it almost went down over I20/59 that close surely it would make the news.
    Looking at a map of BHM, runway 18/36 coming in from the north would out it over highway 79 close to Tarrant. So I’m guessing that was the “busy highway”. Not an accurate statement I can assure you.
    From the south you’re RIGHT next to that interstate and I’ve definitely watched a gridlock of cars in my many times in and out of BHM. I don’t really remember clocking 79.
    As for hills/embankments we’re in the Appalachian foothills, so our mountains are just rolling hills to anyone out west, but the area itself is almost never flat. Kind of amazed they were even able to engineer enough of it for an airport. I haven’t paid attention as a passenger but my guess would be there may very well be a large hill on approach, large enough to cause issues at that height.
    It literally has one terminal with three concourses. It’s small. Technically it has customs, but aside from the 1% flying private, I can’t imagine what international traffic it gets. I actively choose to book international flights straight out of ATL and get a ride there because that 30 minute plane ride for the convenience of not driving adds a stupid amount to the ticket (at least it used to, I haven’t been out of the country in a few years).
    Fair guess at night there’s not much traffic at all besides freight when it comes to heavys. You’d be able to see that from 79 I’m willing to bet. Can’t believe it wasn’t major news.

    IDEA: A barrier net or something that assists disaster aircrafts landing. Aircrafts with either gear issues, braking issues, low fuel or control issues. This could be similar to the assist system for aircrafts on carriers.

      Totally agree. Why isn’t there something at the end of runways that would help a plane stop without blowing up lol.

      Ah, no. Aircraft landing on aircraft carriers are halted by means of the tail hook which catches
      on cables stretched across the deck. There are four of them attached to hydraulic pulley systems. The aim, ideally, is to hook the third cable and it is a true skill to bring that aircraft in at the precisely correct angle to catch that third cable. The other physical barriers seen around the flight deck are primarily there to prevent personnel from being blown off the deck. I cannot even conceive of any way of fitting such a system to commercial aircraft but there are, in fact, physical barriers available (sort of like those collapsible barriers you see on the interstates) which can be used to absorb an impact and prevent a disaster if a plane overshoots the end of the runway. Even those are pretty expensive and most airports do not employ them, I suppose such incidents are too rare to justify such measures and most runways don’t end at the edge of very hazardous terrain.
      Just an added note, landing on carriers is a specific skill accomplished by the most skilled pilots on the planet. That was a vastly simplified description. They actually land with their aircraft at full power because they need to be fully prepared to take off again if they miss and do it in severely cramped environment of the flight deck.

    Just wondering ... would having the equivalent of a _Dash Cam_ on the aircraft be practical and/or useful in analyzing accidents?

    During covid i was flying dubai to india amritsir airport, gone through very bad time, luckily me and all the passengers are alive today, landing in bad weather how plane was shaking how plane went down without pilot control, luckily pilot controled plane ✈ still that fear in deep my heart, now i am fearing to travel by plane, i can feel the fear 😨 how its feel when jet gets out of control, while all these emergency situations we always see our death in eyes,

      just make sure you don't get hit by a bus.. because statistically that is more probable

      They are auto now but can be operated manually if they are in op. They help keep the pitch balanced a cording to weight position to keep balance for level flight.
