This is a welcome diversion from airline passenger/freight incidents/accidents. The graphics continue to improve. Superb!
Graphics are from MS Flight Simulator so is what it is :)
A different kind of failure, small 'plane, short flight, few passengers. beautiful location... but still ended in tragedy. Masterfully recounted TFC! 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video - well done. You had me going for a while - I was thinking "ran out of fuel" then "pilot got drunk during lunch break" but then it turns out to be CO poisoning - wow. Glad I have a CO detector in my aircraft - too many crashes that seem to be related to CO poisoning. My detector was about $100 and it beeps very loudly when it sees CO. Seems like very cheap insurance.
Same - it's the silent killer. The way this video is put together is very clever & hits the point about CO home harder
I am absolutely amazed at how closely the graphics in these videos resembles the real thing.
This is a nice change of pace from the huge airliner accidents.
You should do a recreation of the plane crash in Iowa that killed the pilot, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens; or the plane crash in the Bahamas that killed R&B star Aaliyah, her entourage, and the pilot in 2001.
I know those have already been covered by other channels but I'd like to see your interpretation on those two notable tragedies.
"The Day the Music Died."
Always appreciate your videos. So well done. Since I lived in Sydney for 6 years, what stood out to me in the cityscape of the plane flying over the Sydney Opera House was that the Sydney Harbour Bridge was missing. There was a bridge, but it was nothing like the Sydney Harbor Bridge (commonly called there "The Coat Hanger"), one of the most distinctive parts of Sydney Harbor and world famous. So that was a bit of a miss on this video. Again, I enjoy your videos and the way you share these events. That's why this significant miss stood out to me. Thanks again for your work!
It is a video about a plane crash, not the terrain below it.
It would be like leaving out the Golden Gate Bridge
Living in Miami, we could fly Chalk's Air Service to Bimini. The aircraft was a very old DeHaviland Otter. Alot of folks would come and go to shop or sail or whatever. The last time I flew to Bimini, I have to admit I was fearful. I knew that the maintenance wasn't great and they had major issues finding parts. This is before the crash out of Miami. Thank God it was a real quick trip. I have never been a fearful flyer, but something felt off about the plane. Luckily, I got to sail back to Miami.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is truly insidious. I am kind of amazed that they were so careless about the pilot's and passenger's safety.
Great job on this. Thank you Flight Channel.
Why in the f**k did you even get on the plane?
Damn, the graphics and editing are great. I've been watching your videos for 2-3 years, and this is one of my favorites.
Love the Sydney Opera House. Where is the Sydney Harbour bridge though?
Anyway, great video as always.
Very sad.
Can't believe the notifications in checking for exhaust leaks, and having CO detectors, is only an 'advisory'!
OMG!
Please put the harbor bridge in.
I can't take any more of these comments.
Be sure sure count every rivet or these people will let you know you missed one.
Surprised no one mentioned you forgot to add the fish in the sea.
Sorry, harbour.
I'm an American. We do not put U's were they do not belong.
In Florida, we spell it "harber."@@MrYfrank14
Tragic. Two families wiped out and two generations. RIP.
How very sad. When they were first showing how he suddenly changed the direction I thought he sounded disoriented. I was thinking the alcohol, but instead CO poisoning. Hopefully his passengers weren't terrified when they crashed. RIP 6 souls lost. Thank you for another great presentation.
Unless they already passed out, how could the passengers not be terrified?
@@deepthinker999 I was thinking that perhaps they were drowsy and disoriented by the CO, too. That's why "hopefully".
The passengers had probably already died before the plane had crashed
They died? It seems they was not too high above the water before they crashed. You would think someone would had survived that
There are a lot of Beavers in service here in SE Alaska, primarily used for sightseeing by tourists. We seem to get a crash about every other year in one of them.
We, meaning you?
In 2019 I was up in one in Kenora Ont. for 40 minutes, with a family from China. I was in the other front seat. They weighed everything. Gorgeous islands in the lakes there. Billionaires come up from Texas.
32 years ago I went up in a Cessna 182 floater at Priest Lake Idaho.
Then way back in 1978 I rented a car to the north shore where they had glider rides. LOL Pilot was a 27 yo girl and another 33 yo lady squished beside me in the back seat. She was a beginner pilot as well. Look ma NO engine and hugging the cliffs. LOL.
Why would anyone fly a 50-year old plane? H no
@@jtc1964x Every B52 is that age. LOL. Still carrying bombs.
@@GordoGamblerBut with B52s you can be sure, that they will be very well maintained.
Good video and a not an accident I’d heard about. Interesting and well presented. The plane did seem to be rather old to still be in service.
Great video. Lesson #1: Anyone operating a single-engine plane must take meticulous care of the engine, fuel and exhaust system, whether a piston engine or turboprop or jet engine. That's your ticket home and you have no backup. Making sure you don't poison yourself or your passengers with CO is very important. #2. Unlike a plane equipped only for land operation, a float plane operating along a river with rising terrain and narrowing width does have a very safe way to reverse course - not by turning steeply, however. The pilot can land in the water, taxi 180 degrees around, ad take off again. This will eat substantial fuel, because a water takeoff requires power and time to get into the air, but as long as you are not short on fuel, you will be fine. Lastly, a route like this is not good for night flying unless you have the proper night vision equipment.
#2 is all well and good and obvious to any experienced pilot such as in this case, but CO poisoning affects the brain and causes loss of cognitive ability. #3 - this wasn't a night flight, so what's your point?
The scenery is absolutely stunning.Nice👌
It is fake
@@K1OIKbro thinks were 3 😂
Outstanding graphics with investigation results are a winner.
Incredible life like graphics and animation! well done ... Love this channel.
What happened to the Sydney Harbour Bridge? Arch superstructure and pillions missing :)
Got moved to Shanghai. LOL.
@@GordoGambler Hahaha!😊
Thank you for an informative and involving video presentation. I appreciate the fact that you do not rush the video, especially the sub-titles making the presentation seem like a sprint and so rushed that the video's information cannot be appreciated (such as AJI is doing these days and has for awhile). Although commenting on this, he seems to make subsequent videos seem even more rushed. Please keep your videos going at a relaxed pace so that we can appreciate the presentation; you're doing a great job! Thank you!
Great video. May all the victims rest in peace 🙏 Thank you very much TFC. 😊
This was an exceptionally well-done video. Especially the scenery and sound effects. The water, specifically.
Question: did I miss something, did anyone survive?
I don't believe so, no.
No one survived, not even the harbour bridge in this animation.
At the very end of the video, it mentions being in memory of the 6 people who lost their lives
So?@@judgedee7956
@@judgedee7956You must be a very fast reader.
Did they raise the plane, rebuild it AGAIN, and keep on using it?
This accident brings to mind the loss of several RAAF Beaufort bombers in WW2. The cause was later established to be a faulty cockpit heater that leaked carbon monoxide into the cockpit, thereby incapacitating the pilot. Time moves on, but the hazard remains.
A FedEx 757 had to make a gear up landing on Chattanooga Tennessee some time ago, can you to a video on that?
😅😅
@@loveyboo uh how is that funny?
It'll buff right out. The Gimli Glider flew for 20 more years. LOL.
Hard to believe they’d cheap out on such an inexpensive safety item, but if I’ve learned anything it’s that these charter plane outfits always run on the ragged financial edge. I’d never fly them simply because maintenance (or lack thereof) is such a big part of their “discretionary” budget.
In my opinion, carbon monoxide detectors should be mandatory in buildings and transportation methods in as many countries as possible. In the state I live in, it has been required by law for more than a decade for residential buildings, such as apartments and houses, to have carbon monoxide alarms.
you have a co detector in your car then too, right captain hindsight? surely you couldnt have missed that? right?
@@markheinle6319You're not as smart as you think you are writing that. There are multiple safety mechanism present in vehicle manufacturing and in state inspections (those that have them) that detect exhaust leaks. Any vehicle that has exhaust leaks has to have them sealed before they can go back out on the road. It has only gotten better too in vehicles that have modern automatic climate control units. The reason why cheap handheld carbon monoxide detectors are not mandated in cars is because they cannot handle the heat inside the cabins of vehicles during summer temperatures and fail. The ones recommended in the safety bulletin in Australia would have to be the ones rated for high temperatures due to the climate.
@@DarkFilmDirector right so you dont have a co monitor in your car. i hear ya
Surely they could afford a $20 CO detector. I think it’s reckless for commercial aircraft this old to not have a CO detector.
Is it the first plane in history to have killed people in multiple crashes?
I’ve heard of many crashes due to CO buildup in cabins. It’s especially sad when it’s so cheap to install a CO detector. Apparently too many people would rather lose a $500,000 airplane and all of the crew and passengers than spend a few bucks for a CO detector.
Why not also cycle in fresh air?
If you got the world update for Australia the harbour bridge would’ve been there
Anything of that age is susceptible to CO leaks.... engines, HVAC, the list goes on.
Especially after being rebuilt after being destroyed.
I’m also amazed at how many planes crash because pitot tubes are designed so terribly.
Also old cars?
Absolutely excellent video! Well done!
Always had an active CO detector in my vehicle when I was in the Army.
and you have one in your car right?
@@markheinle6319 no need to
@@markheinle6319Is this your obsession? Cars are continually ventilated, independent of the heating and ventilation system. It's also extremely unusual for exhaust gases to pass into the passenger compartment at levels where CO would be an issue, or undetected because of the smell of other exhaust gases.
Why not?! People get stranded in their vehicles all the time in the winter. They can sit there, unknowing that the snow is building over their exhaust pipe and they haven't a clue they're being slowly poisoned to death. Good plan Army Man and thank you!
It’s sad that a $20 CO detector could’ve prevented this crash and saved people’s lives. Why aren’t all commercial aircraft equipped with CO detectors, especially on older aircraft that were designed with fewer standards and regulations to protect pilots and passengers?
Beautiful graphics
I agree 100 percent. The water sound effects are particularly well-done and realistic.
The Sydney Harbor Bridge was missing. One of the worlds most recognisable and iconic structures was not featured. A big miss. Like Paris without the Eifel Tower.
Very sad
Wow, that was an unexpected twist. I kept wondering why he wouldn't have simply landed and performed a 180-deg taxi turn.
At 1:53, the Sydney Opera House is in the correct place. Unfortunately, the adjacent Sydney Harbour Bridge arch is missing; the bridge has become a low-level bridge which would prevent all shipping.
Very sad. I live in Sydney and know those areas well
I've watched a lot of the videos on this channel, which are sad, but for some reason this one feels sadder... 🤔
If you look down directly under the throttle mixture controls, there's a yellow oil cap you can click to eliminate that rattling cap sound in the cockpit
Great video, how amazing there were NO survivors because the plane was so small and the speed was limited and it landed in (soft ?) water.
Those electronic warning systems are super cheap. No excuse not to have one installed.
Wing stall from lack of air speed at low altitude is a death knell.
Hey, nice video🎉a
The aircraft had been destroyed in a previous accident but repaired. Red flag right there. But the irony of the rego designation.... VH-NOO 😭😭
All happened because missing bolts caused carbon monoxide gas to leak out of the engine and the opened door allowed the gas to enter and consume the cockpit which incapacitated everyone on board
At first I wondered if the passengers wanted a sightseeing tour up that dead end valley, but CO incapacitation makes a lot more sense.
“1 minute ago” also nice video i love your videos.
First things first, super sad, scary, and frustrating that this happened. Second things second, I have to wonder what the song is at the end of the video, SoundHound won't register it.
hard to believe that the CO2 got so high. Sad to see this problem.
@terryhughes7349: If I remember correctly: according to the Periodic Table for chemicals, CO2 is Carbon Dioxide, which is what we exhale when breathing, while CO is Carbon Monoxide, the result of incomplete combustion also known as a " silent killer " . Both can cause problems however a concentration of CO, Carbon Monoxide, is far more dangerous especially in a confined space.
Lesson learned. Over, and over, and over. Stay away from operations such as these if you value your life.
Very Well Said.
Sea plane operations?
The effects of carbon monoxide are truly insidious. They come on slowly, and can be easily go unnoticed until sadly… it’s too late. Much like the effects of hypoxia at altitude. The only practical difference being that our hemoglobin in a way ‘prefers’ CO over oxygen. If you catch yourself experiencing the effects of CO exposure and correct the issue - removing yourself from the exposure - it can take an entire day or more to clear your blood of the carbon monoxide. When CO bonds with our hemoglobin, practically speaking, it is reluctant to release that bond. Even when you breathe 100% oxygen. CO bonds extremely strongly compared to oxygen. It’s one of the ‘oddities’ of our human biology.
Incredibly sad story. And also sad to have lost another De Havilland Beaver. The history of the Beaver is utterly amazing, and if anyone isn’t aware of it they would have a fun time learning about it. It’s a wonderful and storied airplane that is adored by those lucky enough to have flown in one. Just ask Harrison Ford.
It should be an industry standard that all aircraft, whether commercial or not, have reliable CO detection sensors, and have them annually inspected if not biannually. They’re relatively inexpensive, especially when you consider the consequences of NOT having them onboard when, as in this incident, they might’ve saved lives.
Another GREAT video, TFC! 👍🏼
(Edit/Additional): I would go so far as to say ALL aircraft, whether piston-powered or jet-powered of any variety, should carry CO detection sensors. Carbon monoxide is also a byproduct of combustion in jet engines if I’m not mistaken. It’s likely much less a possibility of exposure in jet engine aircraft, but it’s not an impossibility. The cost of such sensors vs the cost of a tragedy… personally, I’d spend the money.
Very sad for all involved. At least they got to have a lovely last lunch.
Do we have any reason to assume that the lunch was lovely?
Could you do voice overs? I think it would be great.
Dig the music, sad story.
A disaster way to end 2017 aviation.
2018 was a crazy chaotic year for aviation with plenty of great stories, but also with sad aviation disaster.
Could the pilot have landed in Jerusalem Bay had he been cognizant of the climbing terrain elevation? Or did they reach a point of no return?
With as much experience that pilot had I’m sure he could’ve landed had he not been incapacitated. CO poisoning would probably be similar to hypoxia. At NASA/JSC I got to experience simulated cabin blowout at 40,000 feet. The trainers didn’t say when the simulated blowout occurred. I had two safety trainers next to me. They gave me a test at the beginning. The questions were simple, like what’s 2+2. I kept writing answers to the questions on the paper. Then all of a sudden I felt a mask being put on my face. After a few breaths of oxygen I looked at the answers I put on the test and they were like, 3-2 = 45. I had a feeling of euphoria while taking the test. I was definitely impaired. And I was close to passing out. This is what happened to the golfer Paine Stewart’s plane.
I’m sure the pilot of this plane had no idea how incapacitated he was. And is so sad everyone had to die just because they didn’t have a cheap CO detector.
Looks to me like he turned right into Cowan Bay but continued in a 360 and headed up Jerusalem Bay, I imagine al of those small inlets along the bays look very similar.
Sad.
Just a question, what game do you use in these videos
what happened to the Harbour Bridge????
Typical Hollywood movie. Changed the facts to protect the guilty. LOL.
Can you consider remaking a video of Japan air lines flight 123?🤔
A 54 yr old aircraft! The kind you would expect to see in Alaska hauling hunters. I wonder why a new helicopter wasn't available. The plane wasn't very well maintained if their were holes between the engine compartment and passenger compartment. Why have inoperable equipment handy? It's not like it would be used. Condolences for the families.
Yes, but completely rebuilt in 1996.
Clearly the pilot had fish for dinner…
Sad crash
Flying into Jerusalem Bay is a sure way to get to the promised land it seems. I wonder if anyone repaired this plane again and it still flies, waiting...
CO mostly makes you very tired in big amounts. Small amounts are no big deal. Ask auto mechanics. Auto shops are always CO polluted. Dont know why the decision to go to that place but that airplane was not heavy loaded and could climb over those 200 meter hills easily. The big mistake was in the way he did the 180 turnback. Too steep and maybe with not enough Lift Flaps used. You need to use about 15-20 degrees of flaps with a power on turnback. He stalled by bad turnback made. A commercial pilot that cant do turnback maneuvers? Yes.. many cant.
Another bad turnback accident. Better Learn that maneuver. There are 2 kinds. Teardrop Turnback and Hook Shaped Turnback. I learned them in 1999. Besides used on GRM they are used also on Box Canyon Turnbacks and EFATO Turnbacks too. 3 places to do turnbacks well or die if done bad. It is a fun maneuver after you learn them.
As a Sydneysider, it pisses me off that the simulator can't replicate our Harbor Bridge and most of my city! : /
did everyone die? How come no more tallies of who lives and who dies?
Theflightchannel please make a video of what happened to Philippine Airlines
Has something happened to Phillippine Airlines?
@@AA-le9ls yes on Nov 21 2019 pal 113 was going from Los angeles to manila and it had an engine failure and the other one is philippine 434 was going from manila to Tokyo then the plane exploded and landed at naha airport
Good video but Sydney Harbour Bridge doesn't look like that! 2:21
Sad
Kinda looks like the global freightways livery from FSX
kinda?
@@K1OIKGetting weaker every video, Burt. Gotta up your game.
I'd have to say that - 'aeronautically' speaking - that '26 kilometers' is too far short to what the actual distance would seem to be....
viz:
Seems to be more in the realm of '20 minutes @ 3 miles per minute' = 6o nautical miles, as the crow flies......
$15 for an electronic CO detector
very sad, I would not fly in an old plane like that. Just too many what ifs and unknowns about the history of the plane and the current status and the skill level of the pilot etc, I could go on and on. So many times tourist just jump on board these "last minute" tourist activities , "oh look honey, that ought to be fun, wanna do it"? heck yeah, why not....
it comes as an off the cuff idea while not giving condideration to any of these debbie-downer thoughts like me LOL...Im just too cautious.
If it were a late model aircraft,, Cessna etc. or something it might be different. Same thing goes for helicopter rentals and rides
Was this craft regulated or inspected? Don't know the procedure in Australia.
@@deepthinker999yes it's inspected but it's far more lenient for vintage craft.
Are also air balloon rides dangerous?
guy goes in for food and drink --- dude pounds four tequillla shots
haha wow.. i know.
Can it really take as much as 20 minutes to fly 26 km with a floatplane? Do planes of that kind fly only at 78 km/h? How are they able to stay airborne and avoid stalling in that case?
So we have an ancient airplane that was already in one major crash, a negligent pilot, and a broken exhaust? What else could have come out of this?
Shame on the owner / operator of these planes for NOT installing a high grade CO2 detector ....so avoidable 😢
I like how you make your thumb nails
Vocal Narration will be appropriated
It sounds like the idling time on the surface allowed CO to accumulate in a way it had not during flights. Isn't it a bit odd to keep a large aircraft engine running for 27 minutes merely to keep a dock free? Taxi away from the dock, shut down, toss out an anchor and wait.
Excellent Analysis & Comment.
I hope his passengers didnt notice anything wrong with him or the change of course. It would be best if they didnt.
DOORS TO AUSTOMATIC AND CROSS CHECK
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a fascinating one
There is no way in H I am getting on a 54 year old plane!
That map of Rose Bay and Cottage Point is nowhere near !
How sad. CO detectors are more important than smoke detectors. You can't see it or always smell it. The invisible, silent killer.
So, I have been watching your videos for quite some time, and here are some that i am requesting that you add.

True.
Not a very accurate depiction of Sydney Harbour, except the Opera house, no harbour bridge or fort Dennison, the city scape is crappola too.
DMMS stall ?
You never made it clear that the 5 people he dropped off were the ones he picked up?? So did these 5 people he picked up at the beginning of the video die in the crash? Can you make this clearer next time? Thank you.
Where’d the Harbour Bridge go? 😂
Well, that'll certainly ruin your vacation.
Your life or a co2 detector. Sad for all on board
I'm going tomorrow to go out & buy a carbon monoxide detector warning meter for my family's house.
THIS WAS A TERRIBLE INCIDENT THAT NEED NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE AIRCRAFT WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED PURE AND SIMPLE.
