@@ILoveLucy21. Tenerife is the world's deadliest plane crash in commercial aviation and in mainly. But Flight 540 was the first crash involving a Boeing 747.
What about the South African Airways Helderberg that crashed off Mauritius due to a fire on board. That was also a Boeing 747 but the SP(Combo version)
In National crash, the heavy army cars where tied with straps, according to their weights. But the man who did it, didn't knew that is maximum strength of each strap is possible ONLY if they are being used vertical. So, in fact, he should have used more straps for each military car, because straps where not vertical. So in fact, it was lack of proper training of the personnel handling the loading of the aircraft.

6:09 "that the morning sun was blinding the cockpit crew and thus hampered color perception" Except that they were taking off on Runway 24, to the southwest, and the rising sun was behind them and just a little to the left. Maybe, maybe that hit the captain's panel and hampered him, but the first officer and flight engineer shouldn't have been affected at all.
Yeah but the CL step was executed on the taxi in the reciprocal direction so they were facing NE when the step was executed. Still should have been caught when they turned around and took the active
That's aviation, where the tiniest error can (and often does) have deadly consequences. Unfortunately humans are fallible - we can mitigate it to an extent with procedures and checklists, but those (being written and carried out by humans) can be fallible, too.
So Tragic, 🙏 for all. So Sad. 😔 Our son is studying to become a commercial pilot. It's his long life dream. He is 37 year's old. He has 3 more year's of study to complete. I live in fear for his life. 💔
The loading master should've properly secured the army vehicle in the right position, but he put the straps in the wrong place which causes it to snap easily and the vehicle hit the bulkhead and jammed the jackscrew
out of all 747 crashes why I only remember NCR102?? the dashcam really showed that the stall made the plane stop in air and how hard it fell. RIP to crew in NCR102 and also 59 in Lufthansa!! 🙏
Good question, but the TOWS didn't become mandatory until 1978, and included an aural warning. The crew testified they had a green light on configuration but it was not proven or disproven.
It looks like TOWS became mandatory under Part 25 in March, 1978. This airliner had a visual system of green light for pilot and flight engineer, not aural, but the crew's testimony about the green light could not be proven or disproven.
Planes don't fly on angle of attack. Leading edge slats thicken the wing and bounce the airflow higher creating a vacuum or shockwave above it. They're crucial.
I thought that, as well. LOL. I googled and saw that he survived the crash. Perhaps the photo was taken shortly after he was removed from the plane? Maybe he suffered a shoulder or upper arm injury.

I just want to say for people who are saying why are you reloading uploads... in order for him to do these plane crash incidents.. the story the research the investigation from NTB .. that takes time years maybe one year... some Cases are not public. So I'm thinking doing a simulator is takes time and research on why this happenened and what cause this crash.. you have to take that into play
This guy’s job isn’t to investigate what happened on a flight. His job is to summarize it and explain what happened. Yes, he has to do the simulations, but he has a simulator at home. It takes nowhere near a year. For example, Mentour pilot puts out a video every couple of weeks, on top of his regular job at Ryanair.
We aren't sure, there have been dozens if not hundreds of comments about it with crickets from the channel. A lot of speculation is that the original creator of the channel sold it and whoever has it now is just doing poorly done reruns
English is the only language of aviation. That does not preclude random exceptions. Ground crews have been known to have problems with English markings on aircraft.
I wonder why when faced with obvious degraded climb performance why do they not push up the power to 100 percent immediately ? They had a lower calculated power setting during take of for weight and runway length as well as density altitude. Slam those throttles to the stops.
I am not sure but I think that the 2nd crash could have been avoided if 1 round of check would have been performed during refueling, just to make sure that everything is in the same place and nothing is broken.
@@xtremepowersports4329 Full throttle puts way more stress on the plane. Takeoffs are calculated for (typically) 80% power. If something goes wrong, you still have some throttle to power out of it. The second plane crashed because the load shifted and the plane's control system was damaged. No way to power out of that, sadly.
@@69eddieD yeah. I was thinking more about the first crash. Also it brings me back to the air Florida flight 90 crash. Why didn’t they give it full throttle?
@@xtremepowersports4329 On that flight the icing problems would have likely prevailed over increased thrust. The panic of both pilots made immediate evasive action unlikely.
I could never be a pilot. Not in a million years. One mistake, just one small mistake and everyone is dead. I don't even understand what's being said on their radios. They use all these codes that I don't understand. I am not sure that I could ever learn them all. I have never even flown on a plane. But here's the thing, I live by Harry Reid airport.

I Can't Image The Look The People In That Van Had When That Plane Went Down In Front Of Them😳😳😳
Possibility four (crash one) one of the crew members was color-blind and failed to disclose it.
Ground effect is more increased lift than increased drag.
"...reduced aerodynamic drag..." is what they wrote
People looked alot older back in the day check out them pilots in their 50s. They look about 90
No botox or fillers like present times. Natural is better.
