Good to see that all survived. Thank you for the great video. Love your channel. I appreciate when passengers and crew survive a difficult problem, and shows the professionalism of the flight crew. Keep up the great work. Your channel is one of my favorite on RUclips.

Harry, well put and thank you for it.

No spoil here, the video says at the beginning, "Miracle" I took that to mean good news for the passengers and crew.
Um I am from HK and after that accident the crew was grounded
Reason is with one engine idle thrust being unusable they didn't divert
The pilot is a hero. As far as I know he asked dispatch to turn back when the problem first showed up but dispatch denied as they did not want to have delay. Later near to Hong Kong dispatch told the pilot to "ditch" the plane in the water. Fortunately he did not follow and landed the plane at 10 Knots over the highest landing speed Airbus ever tried. A hero flew that plane!
Yeah, IDK why companies dont put a bigger emphasis on safety, flight worthiness and other 'money saving' things that prevent the plane from crashing. Seems like a plane going down, with the loss of 150+ people, 2 trained flight crew+Flight Attendants(which the company had to have put money into to train), along with the loss of a plane, would cost alot more than a maintenance delay.
Gotta love human error huh and for that I don't trust humans as far as I can throw them..
were are the dream team They’re call shortcuts to attend more immediate problems arising in real time.
Lucky I am not that pilot. I would come out of plane straight to dispatch and smack him/her in the nose. That would be most satisfying
The dispatch and the captain made highly questionable decisions that could have killed all the passengers on board. With erroneous and fluctuating engine instruments indications, fuel contamination should be suspected and a turn back is the only option. The pilot in command should follow his first decision to turn back and not allow dispatch to usurp his authority.
Always a breath of fresh air when you do a video where everything turns out okay and everybody survives =D
@ Jonathan Price Are you an aviation enthusiast too (I am)? enjoy your videos! :)
Aviation is my true passion ❤️
Nice to know, do you play any flight sims?
Nah but I have my real pilots license lol
Cool, nice! What type?
If I were a pilot I would hear, "terrain, pull up- pull up" in my sleep. I don't think I'd sleep very well.
It’s not that scary.... It’s just an aural warning.
@@davidfauler6406 I find aural warnings to be pretty scary. I get spooked when earthquake alarms go off in Japan
@@davidfauler6406 It's an aural warning that was sounded on most airliners that crashed, minutes prior to that.
It’s just a warning.. It’s like your morning alarm. It wants you to do something, which in the case of the morning alarm, is getting out of bed. If you don’t, well you’re probably gonna have a huge problem depending on what day it is. Same thing with the “pull up” warning. It’s just telling you to pull up, and if you can’t or don’t.. Well, you have a huge problem regardless of what day it is.
@@davidfauler6406 Most "Pull Up" warnings that i have seen in these videos have resulted in crashes.
Ohh ..That moment of happiness when seeing "Everyone Survived"
Is your life so borring ?
@@pendejoculo2581 why...
@@anasuk7773 People survie and die everyday, everywhere. Just consider the thousands of people dying on the roads, millions of smokers dying in their beds...and you feel a "moment of happiness" for 200 people avoiding an air crash years ago...just because an air crash is spectacular...I know, I am a bitter man.
@@pendejoculo2581 No...you are not bitter...you are right...but I am happy that at least this little people have survived....not everything is in our control....but we can look at the bright side of everything..
Having met both of these fine pilots and flown with the First Officer many times I can attest to the professionalism of both, without the teamwork and capability of both crew members this could very likely have been a great tragedy.
@scott bakula he could’ve been a pilot so don’t assume
You most definitely are a fortunate individual to be in the company of such great men.
Cathay Pacific has great pilots. I flew them SFO to Hong Kong in 2008, there was a storm in HK, the captain made the safety first decision to divert to Taipei. I know someone on another airline from Manila to Hong Kong around the same we were scheduled to arrive, she told me she’d never been on a more harrowing flight and landing. On our flight we spent an hour on the tarmac in Taipei, the storm seemed to have passed in Hong Kong and the captain announced we were heading back to Hong Kong if he deemed it safe to land we would, if not we’d come back to Taipei. We landed safely nearly eighteen hours after taking off from SFO. Very impressed by Cathay Pacific.
Best two words ever: “Everyone survives.” Those pilots were true heroes!!
Even the aircraft survived. A good fuel change and off it goes !
The Peculiarity of your videos are that they have never failed to EXPLAIN things in detail.... Congrats Dude!Keep it up!
Thanks man! I really appreciated your comment!! 😊😊
Spherical particles of what?
He didn't explain the nature of those spherical particles... so he actually nullified your comment on this very video...
@@Manusoftarhiba Exactly: were the particles ceramic paint additives? Lubricant? Abrasives/polish?
The contaminant seems to be Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) spheres as detailed on page 138 of the Civil Aviation Departments documentation.
www.cad.gov.hk/reports/2%20Final%20Report%20-%20CX%20780%202013%2007%20web%20access%20compliant.pdf
SAP spheres apparently are also sold as a novelty, AKA Aqua Beads.
CX pilots are one of the best in the world. Flew with them once from Kuala Lumpur to HKG. The pilot landed the A333 smoothly during typhoon
They ended and let Cathay Dragon to continue
sorry but a typhoon,what,really,im now shocked
This is nothing called a A333, it's A330-300.
I thought when the warnings came on for low terrain pull up, “ thank god the pilots can still shut the automatic controls off and fly the damn airplane”.
@@Isaac-ny1qt No its still in service.
it's such a breath of fresh air seeing a video where the flight crew didn't act like idiots and actually remain calm and follow protocol. the end result was excellent! no fatalities or injuries! bravo to the flight crew!
What a beautiful ending to what otherwise could have cost the lives of more than 300 people. The pilots worked together to get their crippled jet safely on the ground without one single injury. I hope that they were recognized for their skills and ability to remain calm under extreme pressure to get it right the first time. Bravo.
My relative was in this plane, all passenger was using life jacket when pilot declare emergency as a preparation if the plane failed to land on the runway. Btw Cathay give a compensation to all passenger due to this accident.
Glad to hear that your relative made it out safely. Did they say if everyone was calm or if they were all screaming? I just hope that the contractor that did the work on the fueling system got a serious fine!
Woah glad to hear that your relative is still alive.
how did you react when you first heard the news?
Dan Farrar everyone is praying. After this accident Cathay change this route to SUB - CGK - HKG. Transit at CGK just for refueling purpose. After total inspection for fuel pipe system on SUB this route resume to normal SUB - HKG.
JJ Wilson I fell surprise but I thank to GOD every one was survive. If I’m not wrong Cathay refund all ticket fare to all passengers plus they gave additional Cathay Voucher for making future reservation on Cathay flights.
Do you know what is the best part in your videos is when you say All PASSENGERS SURVIVED ❤❤❤
This really was a miracle, good job pilots
Great job re-creating this incident
Oh my God...
I got pinned by my favourite Aviation RUclipsr
😃😁
Truly amazing job by both of these pilots. Such a relief to see the "Everyone survived" at the end of a reconstruction!!
I clap loudly whenever there is a happy ending, I am a frequent flyer and every time the plane lands safely I pray and thank the awesome professionalism of the pilots and all crew members.
I like your channel a lot! On this one the pilot was a hero. He landed the plane at 10 knots over the maximum landing speed ever tested by the manufacturer of the plane. And that at this awkward imbalance of engine power. What you did not mention is that the company cathay told the pilot to ditch the plane in the water....he fortunately declined and executed this heroic landing.
I actually watched a more detailed special of this on Discovery and they found the spheres destroyed the very filters in the refill depot. They were designed to protect against this type of potential hazard. And they redesigned the filters to be more tough at withstanding spheres. The issue was not with the plane.
I wonder what would happen if this was Kai Tak! Imagine a stall warning with Bank Angle and Too Low Terrain! The Kai Tak Heart-Attack attack would be a real one!
Intellectual Hazard*/_\* :)
Emergency Landing at Kai Tak would be a disaster
Intellectual Hazard*/_\* hhx
Let's not even our imaginations to think of that. Rather focus on "Everyone Survives".
LoL do you guys even know Kai Tak stopped operation in the late 19's
Just subscribed! Your videos are seriously NEXT LEVEL. The quality is amazing and they keep me at the edge of my seat, keep up the good work!
Ow another great . Well done to let we know the incident. Good to see all are survived
We always look forward to your video productions. I marvel at the complexity of air travel . . . . . Thanks, Bob
ok, I know the automated little man yelling at the pilot is necessary, but when I hear him say those things it gives me such anxiety
Me too! It seems to always portend utter catastrophe.
I still haven’t figured out why the low terrain warning was happening. They were a little high and a little fast on the approach with the number 2 engine stuck at 74% throttle. Maybe it’s normal for Hong Kong approach?
Kevin, I think it was due to air speed
Marla Robinson, Pilots, I'm sure you've noticed are a different breed than "regular" people. Due to extensive training and hours of flight, they get into their head space and are cool as cucumbers. They have to block out all the anxiety and things that would drive us crazy. Perfect example is Capt. Sully.
+BlissBoo - Agree, but that doesn't mean that all these warnings don't rattle pilots, especially when systems are failing and the plane is not operating correctly/normally (like automated systems during pitot tube blockages, among other things).
Wow! I'm new on your channel and your videos really make me put in the situation shown. Really well done!
Greetings!
you do something most youtubers don't do, you tell the story, most of them don't do that, they just give a demonstration, you tell the full exact story
Thank you for your time we all appreciate it 👍👍👍💜💜💜💛💛💚💚💙💙❤❤
Great video! The quality is truly amazing!
Ohhh! i still remember this emergency situation of CX 780 SUB-HKG, in CX MNL we're all prepared and monitoring this flight since the aircraft will be passing by within MNL airspace. From time to time we're receiving a telex messages about the flight CX 780. Thank goodness everyone is okay, around 50+ are injured and some of the passengers were taken to the hospital.
R.TAN.陳罗伟 you forgot to mention: during slide evacuation
Note: B-LAF (F-WWYC / MSN 855) is an A330-342 or A330-343X, and delivered in August 2007 with Premium Economy Class. The aircraft on CX780 was B-HLL (F-WWKG / MSN 244), delivered in November 1998, later leased to Arena Aviation Capital (formerly DVB Bank) in July 2011 and transferred to Dragonair in April 2012. The seats of the aircraft were changed to fixed-shell seats one year later. In November 2016, the company was renamed to Cathay Dragon, and was repainted to the new livery in 2017.
I seriously have goosebumps while watching this. But for the cool heads in the cockpit it could have ended in ways I don’t want to think about. They really are heroes.
yet another awesome recreation from the man himself!
Another great video. I like the successful emergency landings as much as the accidents. Shows how pilots are truly amazing at what they can do in extreme situations. Thanks again!
Second video of everyone surviving that I've watched of yours. It's actually refreshing and it's very informative. You really make it understandable and relatable. You have a gift.
I remember when this happened, I was plane spotting and all the plane spotters stopped and watched as the A330 was coming in way too fast, my dad knew the copilot and the fire chief, they landed without flaps though
You have putted out so much dedication into making these videos, and you never had failed to please everyone. Amazing work TheFlightChannel
Plus, we are just 2k away from 400k!! :DD
Thank you very very much man!! 😊😊😊
“Putted” ????
@@annalynnzinnph.d.5337 it is a word
@@Crabz49 - No. The word is “put”. “You have put out so much . . .” Is the proper English.
Wow! Makes ya wonder if other aircraft were contaminated and had a > similar outcome!
In the hands of some Arab or Taiwanese ex-military Chinese pilots?
My thoughts also.
I watched this with tears in my eyes. What an awesomely calm, brave pilot and crew. The emotions must have been immense when touch down was achieved. Thankyou for your brilliant work, bringing this information to us. I have hit that bell! And done everything else necessary to support your channel.
I'm glad that these pilots were very professional in handling this crisis
I love this video! Keep the work
I was surprised when I saw this video, I requested this a long time ago and I can't believe you really did a video on it. I am the 3131 view. Great job!
Yea
Met and flew with both of these chaps when I worked for CX. Not only are they both absolute gents, but they also exemplify why pilots should still be treated with a great deal of respect and paid well above the minimal standards today's airlines are trying to implement. It always worries me to think whether guys like this are packing in aviation because of the substandard contracts and working conditions that are offered.
Make no bones, they could have easily crashed and killed everybody and we'd still have no real criticism for them given the circumstances. What they pulled off is an absolute masterpiece of aviation. Far more complicated and of greater difficulty than that of Sully in my opinion (taking nothing away from his feat of course).
They both had no idea what was happening. They both thought they were going to die, yet they fought that damn thing in all the way using the basic hand flying skills from their previous backgrounds.
Heroes. Deserving of much greater recognition.
EDIT: I note that the video does not show the steep turns they were carrying out to try to slow down the aircraft. It was how some of the passengers realised just how serious the situation was.
No joke I’ve been binge watching your channel since last night and I’m obsessed!!! These videos are so good, educational, and informative!! Keep it up man props to you, you deserve way more subscribers!!!
Omg how do u concentrate when so many things are screaming at you for attention 😂
Nakshatra 2020 i would have a panic attack and get so angry like SHUTUP PLEASE WE KNOW 😭😂😂
Crew situation awareness and many many years of training
If you have a lot of kids, that would be good practice
there is a button in the cockpit that can turn the sound off if they get too annoying
You deserve a RUclips award for your videos. Awesome video once again
Thank you so much for responded to my earlier request. You're excellent!
I enjoyed the video, amazing job as always! Your writing has also improved a lot -- you were doing so well (no typos at all) until the very last sentence :D
Thanks The Flight channel for uploading interesting videos love your channel..
Thanks a lot, I appreciate!! 😊😊😊
I truly appreciate the hard work you put into your videos. Each of them brings me to the edge of my chair as I watch them. Keep up the great work.
You sure do a great job with these. Just when I think I’ve seen about every aircraft incident or accident you post another one. Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately this may seem a little morbid with some of these accidents, but as a professional pilot they still are fascinating...especially with your video work. Good work and thanks again! Keep em coming.
Awesome video, as usual. Thank you, TheFlightChannel. Everyone survived which is the best line I read. 🙏
LOVE ITT KEEP IT UPP BROOO #ALMOST400K
That was fun! Reminded me of Airport 69, Concorde adventure. Thank God that all souls returned.
It was "Airport '79".
Excellent report and congrats on 400k subs. Well on your way to 1 mill, can't wait to see that happen. Thank you again for sharing.
Wow! Your almost at 400,000 subscribers!! Keep going! Your channel is awesome Keep going with you awesome videos!
Another great video that I love! Keep it up!!
Wow a new video!!!! As always beautiful
The captain showed tremendous understanding of his plane's capabilities and systems.
Great that everything ended well. No casualties. Well done to the flight crew. Great video.
Kudos to the pilot. A well trained and professional pilots you've got there.
For anybody wondering, this is the Blackbox Simulations widebody a330:)
Watching the Flight Channel during the pandemic 🤦🏻♀️.
Trying to find only survivable crashes at this time.
Amazing channel. 💛
I hope the pilots received superior airmanship awards. They stayed cool under immense pressure and did everything right. As a result of their tremendous abilities, everyone (and the plane) survived. Great video with a great outcome. Well done!
They already had one: the Polaris award.
Cool and professional flight crew, great to see - I love happy endings. So many of these stories end in tragedy, I find myself going "come on come on" to the flight crew each time I watch these vids, which is often. Btw, I wonder who dislikes these vids and why, there's nothing in nature so strange as people.
Great video as always✊🏾💯
Thanks! 😊
Fantastic airmanship. I really enjoy TFC videos. Very informative and no "Made for TV" unnecessary drama!
It's been so long and another awesome video as always
Love your video. Keep it up :)
#50,btw I come from Hong Kong so I enjoyed this one very much:D
Thank you for this nice video! Great that all survived! You make the best plane videos in youtube!
Amazing video
I was waiting for this to happen and it did. Keep up the good work :)
I love the ones that say "everyone on board survive"
Always been fascinated with ✈ as a kid. All your vids are amazing
What is a vid?
What a great story! The pilots on flight 780 did a really good job. It’s great to see everybody survived.
I like this channel because sometimes they survive. Most channels only show incidents where the plane crashes and people die. With this channel, if you haven't heard about the specific incident already, then you don't know if they will make it or not.
The captain and co-pilot did a great job.
Awesome Video as always 😄
Love your videos. So much detail and really interesting to watch. Good job!
Well done to these amazing pilots for staying calm and under full control of the aircraft.
So 50 views and 66 likes. Just shows how amazing you really are.
KittyKladyKathy Sry curious what your pic is from? I love it lol. Love these vids too agree they do amazing😊
@@robincharles7057 no, it's ok. Actually, I literally found it on Google when I was searching, "rainbow cartoon cute kitty", lol.
Yt is just drunk again.
You are addicting. That is, I believe, in part because they appear (from a layman's point of view) to be well done. Keep up the good work.
Love your work/passion/video productions, they are some of the best!🙏👍🇺🇸
Love it when the passengers get off safely! Thank you for the upload
Great video. Appreciation goes to the crew and the manufacturers of the plane...great technology combined with exceptional human intervention therein saved the day.
Samuel Sempala Great technology?????...........what are you , .stupid
Looks like fantastic technology to me. Maybe looking in wrong direction for “stupid”. Grab a mirror.
Amazing! Keep doing it. Love it
911 jet crash
Great video! Keep up the amazing work that you do putting these together
Great work mate. Yet again another awesome video.
TheFlightChannel
Excellent video as always. I love happy endings like many others do. Great job by the crew.
I have a question. Do you know if any other planed that were refueled at the airport received some of the same contaminated fuel? Also what exactly was the contamination?
Thanks again friend. You even have one of the best comment sections too!
P06n
" everyone survived " im crying 😭😭
Why
I'm not sure, I congratulated you, but congratulations on 400k subs.. well deserved, my man! This channel is one of best. So informative, with a good graphic. I've said.. how cool, all the detailed info condensed down to a 15 min.. mini doc, instead of hour. Not saying those air disaster shows aren't great, with award winning, academy award acting, but this is nice, when you don't have an hour. Nice 👍 job!! Keep it up.
I'm glad it all ended safely! Lovely job once again!
HAPPY 400K SUBS 😊😊😊
Thanks man!!!
No probs!
Here for you every time!
Good job:-), can u do LOT Polish Airlines Flight 16 next?💓, Luv u boii

Great work here. I have no knowledge of the profession. But am very impressed with the pros in the cockpit and the cabin, that keep things flowing
I just cant believe the quality its so good! Well done you should be pround!
I forgot there was a video every Friday.
I'm so embarassment, i'm sorry for Juanda Intl Airport that is my country (Indonesia)..
I love your channel 💞
Kizaki Dwiky Don't feel too embarrassed, sir, wherever humans are in control of things, mistakes occur...Indonesia, France, USA, Egypt and every other place.
: ) there is another video where a cockpit window came off mid-flight, due to maintenance error. that was in the UK. there are a lot of things that could go wrong.
@@billolsen4360 who we are? Human, what are we doing? Mistakes 😖 but if not human error, the destiny are changes accident will not happen 😞
@@MrSimondaniel3 thanks for inspiration dude.. this is what human do, mistakes..
And this circumstance will likely continue for the foreseeable future. All we can do is be sure to honor the victims of our mistakes by learning from them and not repeating them.
Congratulations on 400K!
Misread the title, thought the plane was going to explode on impact, didn’t know I was holding my breath but I literally screamed relief when it said they landed safely and everyone survived. Thank God
Please do the newest incident the Miracle in clark airport in the Philippines one engine ejected
