It always amazes me that any pilot can understand what ATC is saying at all.
Agreed!
You develop an ear for it pretty quickly when that's your chosen profession!
It’s easier with that headset
I used to liken understanding certain ATC speak to trying to read a doctors handwriting. Although I should also say that as comm's equipment has got better, the transmissions are so much easier to understand - and I don't just mean the aircraft to atc chatter, i mean the scanners and recording devices as well.
@@seanlonergan7489 there's a few professionals that still need a bit of work tho. Such as - and i will hazard a guess you know what's coming! - certain Air China pilots/crews. God bless them. Im certain they have incredible pilots but they do get a bit of grief online. Have you watched any of their videos on RUclips?
Hope you're good man.
First Officer: Captain, we're getting compressor stalls in the right engine.
Captain: Those elementary students are going to pay for this....
4 teachers who got doused in kerosene are suing the shit out of Delta. I hope they win a lot!
@@michaelscott5653 OMG WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?
It was surprising to hear the captain reply "negative" to the ATC when asked about the fuel dump. Really hope the flight crew was cited for this!
Got scared after initial wrong decision and then dumped on final approach. Could have even comunucated desire to dump and delayed appoach and dumped correctly. At least they didnt have a failure landing full of fuel
Isn't there a checklist for fuel dumping from a 777?
I'm surprised they didn't ask for vectors over the ocean for a safe dump
Me too! Me too! It makes me BOOMER MAD!!! Grrrr!!! SAD!
Imagine playing with your friends in the play ground then all of a sudden, everyone gets soaked in jet fuel
"hey guys look at my lighter"
I'll be thinking money and lawsuit
LOL
@@jessicawashington5832 Yeah, THAT'S what is needed -- ANOTHER lawsuit. The ambulance chasers will make a ton of money and the people who were dumped on will get eno0ugh to buy the kids some new clothes.
By the time the kids go to tell the teacher the jet fuel has already evaporated then the poor kids get in trouble for making up stories
ATC: hey uh, do you need to dump fuel over the ocean or something at a high altitude?
delta 89: nah, i'm feeling particularly spiteful of the greater los angeles area today
I had no idea that this happened. They pretty much flew over my house dumping fuel but I guess I wasn't outside for the free kerosene shower.
@@bugdrvr they were over 5000 feet at one point so it didn't matter but below that was where the problem happened
Please prosecute...
You can land overweight. Depending how much the landing weight was and the type of touchdown, it could be a simple inspection.
Oh, when planes do land overweight, they tend to overheat their brakes. They taxi off the active and set their brakes which causes the wheels to over heat, that cause a fuse to melt and that causes flat tires. And when the airplane looses more than one tire per axil, you have to get a special Rhino jack which is hard to find. And you are working on a taxiway to change all those flat tires, and you may not have enough wheels in stock and you have to go borrow wheels from other carriers. Yep, been there.
Finally a story that doesn't end in death
Just cancer and other injuries
Imagine you being out having a barbeque and suddenly jet fuel starts raining down
😆😆Ring place,Rong time😆
omg I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
Saves money on charcoal lighter fluid, bout the same consistency anyhoo😜
You need no oil for barbecue so it's perfect ;)
You are funny
I watched these videos all day yesterday, all last night until the wee hours of the morning, and after waking up this morning, I started watching again, into the afternoon today. These are so well put together. I love that you use Flight Simulator to give us a feel of things going on. You don't narrate - instead you allow us to become immersed in the drama. You include talk between the controllers and the flight crew. You include the information about date, time, location, flight duration, age of plane, captain and f/o. You include details about the investigation results, and you inform us how many died. Then, you add in that beautiful music - I never tire of hearing it. I don't subscribe to many channels - I literally have 10 subscriptions, and I've been on RUclips since 2006. This is one of my favorite channels now, and is on my subscribe list. Amazing work!
I agree. This channel is amazing and very well produced. I too love that they caption it instead of narrate it. It kind of keeps the respect for any victims of these incidents and guarantees the content is produced with respect, taste, and class. While also being riveting and educational. Big kudos to the people behind this channel! 👏
I do the same thing
Same. Binge watch.
help i can't stop
These videos are addictive. 🤦🏻♀️
"..And they'd have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids!"
cue spooky scooby doo music lol
Omg no 😭🤚 bye-
ZOINKS!
Jinkies!
LMAO!
I read about this incident in the news when it happened and I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks to TFC for filling in the details in an always interesting way.
Yeah, it's one of those moments that got lost in the haze of 2020.
Agreed
I am always in awe of how beautifully these videos are rendered. Stunning.
Actually, all of his videos aren't even renders. They are actually recreated on a flight simulator called X-Plane 11, which not only shows how powerful computers are these days but also how well he recreates them with great detail.
@@imanavgeekdontjudge5714 when I saw no hands on the controls in the cockpit I knew it was some kind of simulation. But I love the clarity.

A one time exposure while unpleasant, doesn't have a long lasting physical or neurological effects. Nonetheless, the pilots should have been more mindful especially if it wasn't an absolute emergency. My reasoning for their dump over population would be that they didn't want to take a chance of going out over water, just in case it became a sudden emergency.
@@BillAnt yeah .. that doesn't excuse what they did .. hope company find and pilots lost licensing!
As a retired ATC ( and ATC tower supervisor), I always hated it when 'secrets' (fuel dump, etc.) where being withheld from me. They could have easily dumped that fuel at 8000 feet, but rather chose to spray it all over LA county at a low altitude. I only wonder what else they were keeping from ATC, as it all sounds a bit suspicious to me. Even if the flight crew hadn't requested equipment at the runway, I would have made the call (and did many times) to get it out there. If there are any former or current ATC's out there, you all know that if your gut say something ain't right, it probably ain't right.
What really gets me though is all of these conspiracy theorists who think that this was intentional, and that planes are making chemtrails on purpose for mind control. I always find it hilarious when these people who know nothing about aviation start spouting their theories. also which airport were you ATC for? Just curious.
Hack Fabrication I’m not ATC, but have been talking to y’all for over 50 years. I am a multi engine instrument rated commercial pilot with several ratings and an A&P., Air Forced trained beginning in 1968. I too think something else was happening and caused the urgency to step up a few notches on top of the engine shut down. It took 10 days to get the aircraft back in service. An engine change can be done in one day. An FAA report I read said they found metal in the back of the engine so I’m pretty sure it was changed. The tone in the voice of who ever was talking to ATC, I figure it was mostly the copilot, changed after the engine shut down. I have not been able to find a final report on the FAA’s or the NTSB’s web site. The report I did read was from 3 days after the event and said they would take a few weeks to complete the investigation. That report was a response to three congresswomen from CA who wrote a letter asking a lot of questions.
@@billmorris2613 They shutdown the right engine altogether rofl. I don't know about you and I'm not a pilot but I dont wanna be circling around the ocean to dump fuel with just one engine.
Jes Chr I am a commercial pilot for over 50 years and would not want to stay airborne on one engine in a twin engine aircraft any longer than absolutely necessary. When I was in the Air Force we were required to land ASAP if we had to shut down an engine when state side. The requirement was different in a combat zone.
@@jeschr3462 Thanks goodness you aren't a pilot and you clearly don't watch aviation disasters regularly b/c all commercial jets are designed to fly on a single engine and all commercial pilots are supposed to be trained to fly on 1 engine.
oh god that was this year?? 2020 has been a long outrageous one....
Yeah, I've learned awhile ago never will I ask "what next!" when something happens!
Vlade PFC obviously because they aren’t nearly flying as much
@@ohbitxc9793 oh true that
Nice going pilots
Media is too busy overrating covid to cover this story apparently
Imagine being at school doing normal things then suddenly your covered in jet fuel.... thanks mr pilot that made my day soo much better
@nono4564 Accidental?
Huh huh huh damn it pilot. 😂😂😂
@@RusskiPancake ....it’s a joke
@@peytonw5870 look at what I said earlier
@@RusskiPancake ?? it was sarcasm which makes it a joke
I just can’t believe those well trained and experienced pilots can make such a thing like that.
They were being selfish.
They did the proper thing with the major failure, but it is a head scratcher with the continued fuel dump below 5K and over populated area! I just don't know all facts to make a judgement!
@@ChancetheCanine the procedure was correct but the actions in how they did it were completely idiotic.. the controller asked multiple times if they were going to dump fuel, they said absolutely nothing. the flight was also over water before this all started, the controller could of vectored them to dump fuel safely over the ocean at 8k ft and kept them closer to the airport if there were any major issues that forced them to land sooner.
A true pilot is one who can fly while plane is in distress. This pilot seemed to just want to get on the ground with necessities an after thought.
@jetsfan2351
One can be trained and trained but when the SHTF all sense of calm goes out the window and "arms flail and oh my God what should I do" reaction takes over.
Love how people are actually defending the pilots here for dumping fuel wherever. As a pilot myself, I fail to see any urgent need in this situation to dump fuel at low altitudes above LA. ATC even asked if they need to dump fuel while over the water and the pilots declined. They never told ATC they were dumping fuel to begin with. Engine had a compressor stall, although serious, not serious enough to wait until final to dump fuel.
Exactly, they were impatient, which a lot of you guys like to do that. Shut number 2 down, go into a pattern over the ocean, and make an upwind final, no need for a downwind landing. What is it, another 20 minutes. A triple 7 should have no problems on 1 engine and they'll move around whoever to get you into rotation when you're ready. A lot of poor decisions. I only have a PPL w/ IFR btw
Exactly!!
If you were a pilot, you wouldn’t be armchair quarterbacking another pilots choices when you weren’t there and only know what you saw on RUclips. So sit down and stfu and stick to video games
If it isn't an emergency to not have a reliable engine what is an emergency? The pilots first responsibilities are the lives of the passengers. If my flight lost an engine the situation could get worse. I just want the passengers on the ground safely as soon as possible before something else breaks.
@@jcraigshelton why are you so upset? I wasn’t there but there is plenty of facts on this. They dumped fuel without advising ATC and even telling them they didn’t need to dump fuel. So they dumped fuel at a very low altitude causing injuries. If they felt the need to dump fuel, that’s understandable, however not advising ATC and then dump fuel on schools is a poor decision made by the PIC.
Having a smoke break outside when suddenly your doused in aviation fuel.......
get rekt smokers
lol
And you go kaboom
@@thisaccounthasbeensuspended actually good news, jet fuel doesn’t ignite on contact with a flame
Lol
I’d love to hear the pilots reasoning for dumping fuel like that when they were specifically asked by the atc guy working their flight “did you need to hold to dump fuel” and he acknowledged no!! They both need to be reprimanded for this and delta will be fined obviously and or sued
exactly and no more.
he was scared that the other engine fail so he did that ...its stupid thing but he justify himself that he landed the plane safely at least saving his live
If I was ATC, I would be thinking "so, you just left here like 5 minutes ago in a huge plane with enough fuel to go to freaking CHINA, and now you want to land back here and you don't want to dump fuel?? Uh... riiiight. WTF?"
@@Cultural_Supremacist
he probably think the same but atc cant refuse pilot land request specially in emergency if do he probably will charged with manslahter if the plane crashed ... the pilots hold full responsability of their decisions even if they like to crash land on the runway
@@Cultural_Supremacist Planes can land overweight. Requires an inspection. But that isn't a huge issue when maintenance have to change an engine anyway.
This is just insane. Did the crew somehow think they could get away with dumping fuel at low altitude over a populated area... without anyone noticing?!
@Slomofogo Oh sweet I just had avocado toast for breakfast I also had no idea these pilots did this.
@Mike Kabakov They had plenty of opportunity to dump the fuel away from populated areas, and deliberately chose not to. They then hid their actions from ATC. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
So what? they didn't die!
They did and got away with it.
The instrument panel should display checklists for certain situations. If you hit the fuel dump button, it should ask you are you above 5000ft, yes/no? Can you see school children below, yes/no?
ATC: 'you don't need to hold to dump fuel or anything?'
Delta 89: 'No, we'll just take a giant sky piss all over some school kids'
😂🤣😂🤣
Then the poor kids get in trouble for smelling like they have been trying to light a cigarette
No one actually said that, so that is a fake quote.
Must be the fashion nowadays to make quotes up.
@@dtz1000 that there, was sarcasm my dude
@@dtz1000 r/whoosh

The channel is great and doesn't need click bait. The engine shot some flame but never burst into flames. I realize it ended safely and wasn't the standard fare of "ends in crash" but keep your reputation as a great channel intact and just keep the quality of content driving the views.
i don’t know about you, but i was expecting a crash here. glad everyone was mostly safe
Hope for the best
At least there were 0 fatalities.
The jury may still be out on that. We don’t know the effects on the kids right now. Let’s hope years from now they dont come down with lung cancer 😔
An engine stall is hardly a reason for fatalities. They happen regularly !!

A better title would be “Plane dumps fuel over several schools, causing a major emergency team response.”

Yeah. Much better.
At least it is less important than having a plane skidding of a runway endangering hundreds of lives and costing thousands of dollars of damage (although it is still better to dump fuel over uninhabited areas)
Come on people... we all know well if YOU were on that flight, you wouldn’t give a crap what was done in order to get the plane back down safely... a few dozen people splashed with avgas is better than a plane crash! 🤯😤
@@thomass1620 That still doesn't justify what pilots did wtf..
They had been ASKED to dump the fuel while still on top of ocean multiple times but they ignored that option, the pilots are experienced which is why what they did here is unacceptable because not even amateur pilots would do something like this..
Good pilots also respect the ground under them!! Unless they are in situation while it's out of their control, which is not in this case..
I grew up in the LA suburbs right next to LAX and spent a lot of my childhood on Dockweiler Beach with departing planes flying over our heads out over the ocean. Why the flight crew would decline to dump fuel over the ocean, the absolutely perfect spot, and instead dump it over densely populated areas is beyond me. It's absolutely senseless.
Agreed.
Or at least be at 5000 feet or above so it vaporizes.

During a compressor stall there are several "bursts" of flame. The more important issue is the injuries to those on the ground because of the stupidity of the pilots. "Clickbait BS?" Pleeeease...

@@preciousnic1974 The plane doesn't 'burst into flames' and the engine doesn't 'burst into flames' either... it is akin to backfiring. It isn't as dangerous as it seems. Also, the plane could operate on 1 engine, albeit at a lower altitude and lower maximum speed. Granted, at the start of the journey, it is unwise to undergo the journey with 1 engine... They should've tried a few things to problem solve.

You're right, they should'nt have dumped fuel and possibly crashed on landing ?
It's better than killing school kids along with on board lives.
@@robmcmullan5732 They could have easily dumped fuel over the ocean or at a much higher altitude, there was absolutely no chance of it crashing if they did that as the left engine was perfectly fine.
Another pilots wannabe who knows all
As soon as I saw that it was heading back towards LAX, I was like "Ohhhhhh it's THAT flight"
As someone who's been doused with jet fuel on the job it's not a pleasant experience. It burns and itches the skin and the smell takes a very long time to get out. I feel it for the persons on the ground especially those kids. The pilots could have easily stayed offshore and dumped the required fuel needed especially if they had the issue under control. Absolutely ridiculous!!!
Agreed. Those airliners are designed to fly on one engine within a safe envelope. Very poor piloting.
300 peoples lives or an uncomfortable feeling that is temporary?
Not nice, but better than risking immolation of passengers.
WUVS! No lives or unnecessary risk to people on the ground? The B777 can fly for hours on one engine. Check it’s E-TOPS. The pilots did a whole lot of wrong here, it’s a standard emergency.

When this first happen I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt that they needed to quickly dump fuel because they where in an extream situation. No, just carelessness. They where already over water and up high, they should have started dumping as soon as they knew they where heading back.

Don't forget, ATC double- (or triple-) checked with the pilots about dumping fuel over the ocean. Pilots should've said yes AND told ATC.

@@donraptor6156 I don't understand your point. There was no danger of crashing. That plane will fly on one engine all day. They could have dumped at over 5000 feet over the water and affected no one. Instead, they chose to break rules and SOP and drop fuel on children.
Alan Peterson haha exactly
Would you feel different if your family was on board?
I actually live in that area and was around when that happened. I was walking around the area heading to do errands and felt like a weird liquid and I thought it was water till its smell. I ran undercover of a tree in the area scared of what it was and it wasn’t until later when I learned that it was jet fuel and that we were sprayed under. The school most affected in the area was Park Elementary who had kids outside. The kids got medical attention. Delta gave some medical help for those affected for some weeks but our community was angry during our town meeting about the incident. The fact that the pilots lied and dropped fuel on our community makes me pissed at the fact that they decided to drop dangerous liquids like if there wasn’t a community under where they dropped it.
The crew should have subsequently lined up against a wall and been hosed down by jet fuel by affected citizens, and also fired from their jobs and have had to pay the medical bills of those affected
" It's Los Angeles, nobody will notice"
Depraved indifference

Having flown into LAX several times, that brown cloud layer between 3000 & 15000 ft is your first clue how disgusting the place is and nobody gives a shit about pollution.
loool true
Martin Sloan. You're correct. L.A. and ALL of California is a garbage dump anyway.
I enjoy all of your videos, but I have to say I really like the addition of the passenger's PoV from inside the plane. I don't recall seeing it before. Thank you for all the work you do making these videos for us to enjoy!
I used to work for a very large company that did maintenance and repairs on just about every commercial plane out there, if people saw some of the things they did to cut corners it would scare the shit out of them every time they stepped on a plane. That was yrs ago, I hope it's better now. Anyway, I love these videos, it's a really great job putting them together this way. It must be a alot of work.
It’s no different now. Every business in the world cuts corners because they are relying on humans to do things right every time. While unlikely that a major airline would direct that corners be cut, some of the people that do the work will always cut corners for a myriad of reasons. The tech is tired, lazy, disgruntled, incompetent, incorrectly trained, not feeling well, thinks they know a better way, doesn’t have the exact part needed, and on and on with reasons why. It happens every day in every industry, and the only reason most of these screw ups don’t result in catastrophes is because most industries are not working on life and death issues, and when they are it usually requires a series of events to come together to result in a disaster, not just one singular cause.

For those that are asking the same question I had after watching this, "What happened to the pilots?" the answer is the FAA is still presumably still investigating. I would hope that the pilots would be somehow reprimanded for dumping fuel over land.
The answer is "presumably"? Wow Tom, thanks for this "fact". lol
Seems pilot panicked and all his focus was on landing the plane quickly.
fjm1061 true.
That's what I thought. Stressed and tunnel visioned as opposed to intentionally cavalier attitude.
@@catherineolivia1 Honestly I would have kept dumping over land UNTIL 5000 ft (it's still safe because it evaporates), then stop. The plane still could have made a successful landing in my opinion.
He got the plane down safely. What if he lost the other engine for the same reason? The idea that he had all day is an assumption.
I think both pilots were dumbasses. Esp how the co pilot was talking to controllers...
This video was absolutely amazing! All the visuals made me feel like I was experiencing what was going on. Tysm for this!!
Why didn't they dump fuel immediately when they were over the ocean ?
The pilots sound like they don't know what to do, or they are distracted.
This doesn't sound like a normal problem they have trained for.
They are not answering ATC
Something is going on in the cockpit that is taking their attention
With the engine off they should have control over the situation and not be so distracted.
they were doing it. y know. mile high club
They sounded stoned haha
And dump it at 5000 or higher where it evaporates. Nah lets just dump it onto a CHILDREN's elementary school and over housing.
@@SWIFTO_SCYTHE couldnt they activate the auto destruct?
Yea just thank god not both engines failed otherwise they'll make like a statue with the attitude then they would have Crashed at the school.
I love your channel so much!! The details you give and the amazing simulations are unlike anything I'e seen anywhere else :) Keep up the great work!!
Would have been nice to know what happened in the aftermath, what was the pilots’ excuse, were they disciplined, did anybody sue the airline, etc. Also you should’ve added some screaming from inside the cabin when the flames appeared. J/K, TFC!
😄
i agree, random screaming passenger sounds would really spice these up a notch
Dangerously close to "clickbait"
What do you mean?! It’s not even close to click bait!
@@VLG105 Not really. The engine really got into flames not like the thumbnail, but still it got into flammes. And the bursting is correct. He just didn’t specify what burst into flammes.
Yeah. I was expecting something like the Blue Panaroma flight 1504.
@@crashbandicoot4everr he already did a vid in Blue Panorama flight 1504 I think. It was a B767 right?
@@qisenwang370 Yes he did. He always does great re-creations but his titles are sometimes click-baity.
Yes for the flames on your logo👏👏👏👏 I love it!!
TFC..... I can't express enough how much I appreciate how you've grown throughout the years. I joined TFC during S2, and your skills and talents is truly remarkable!! Thank you for providing such amazing quality of work on each and every video!!
It's a blessing that everyone survived!! I'm not too happy about the ones on the ground who were effected by the crew dumping fuel over populated area, but at least there were no fatalities. When I saw Delta, I was holding my breathe because I only fly with them. Glad everyone survived!!

I kinda liked the title because I was expecting a crash but then was pleasantly surprised that they all made it.
Whenever my mom tells me not to be scared to fly, I just show her all these videos! 😃
You shouldnt be. Occurrences like these are rare and flying is very safe.
I've been on hundreds of flights and am still here!
That flight did not endanger the passengers. Hello!!
Scared of what? Everyone landed safely without incident.
You may also tell her the statistics of you dying in an airplane crash!
Very well done video. The Captain did not have an immediate emergency and could have easily remained over the Pacific dumping fuel at altitude. Very serious mental lapse by two supposedly qualified and experienced pilots. Inexcusable, really.
Hitting 6 schools with one fuel dump has to be a record.
What I vividly remember from this emergency landing was that moment you mentioned at 11:54, I saw a video of it on Twitter. Pretty sure a lot of kids got sick from that, really upsetting.
Had my coffee ready was just waiting the notification, I’ll sit and enjoy thanks
Really you have coffee at 7:00 in the evening
Aviation Facts Explained and more uh- you know there is time difference right-
@@Democracyyy there's something called a time zone
It was a joke I tried to trick you
@@Democracyyy yeah like rn at my time zone it’s the morning (9:30)
The ATC was probably thinking, "You did say you are flying heavy right? And you don't need to dump fuel?" I've watched enough videos on the channel to know when flying heavy, you can not land properly with all that fuel.
The simulation software is just amazing!
it sure is - last year when i had time I filled up terabytes of external HDD's by running some kind of map scan over every part of the country and having photo representations of everything (then they have something that gives it 3d modeling) 8 TB worth of stuff and it made xplane 11 look amazing. I could fly over and see my own house, and fly 500 miles north with a small plane to get an idea of what my holiday drive was going to be like, essentially seeing every detail and house on the way in high res. They even had a pay airport which had the exact interior of O'Hair airport. Manhattan, every building completely detailed exterior and 3d modeled. This reply is making me want to find all those hard drives and start playing this addictive simulator I had to put away last year bc it was seriously taking precedence over real life. Now that life isn't so real - why not? Thanks for talking me into this - Rodger with your observation and The Flight Channel with these highly highly detailed videos I am also addicted to.
Hey no one cares if ur first , we're in here for the vid
@evo sagara if they say “first” I wish they will die in real life and not deserve peace and deserve hell as their place! 😡
First world problems

im 38,644th. does that count for anything ?!

Bursting into flames really means, taking off, flying for an hour, landing at the origina airport and not on fire. Got it.
Pilots were totally irresponsible and should have been sacked
They are responsible for the lives aboard!
Don Raptor and what about the lives on the ground. They totally ignored the rules for fuel dumping and they injured people on the ground due to their irresponsibility
Yeah, they probably got fired and had to go to American.
Thanks for this video, I've always wondered what would happen if fuel was dumped over inhabited land instead of the sea, as they usually do in your videos. This flight crew deserves a heavy penalty for endangering public health so recklessly!!
They can dump overland but only at high altitude so it disperses and breaks into tiny molecules
Delta airlines should be fined heavily for being this irresponsible and suspend the pilot and FO for 30 days without pay for intentionally dumping fuel at low altitude and harming the health of innocent bystanders. A very Callous and irresponsible behavior on the part of these men.
Title of the video should be : Pilots dump fuel on couple of schools and kids and get away with it 👍🏻
Didn't really get away with it
How was he assposed to know he was over schools? He had to do what he had to do to get the plane down.
@@moderndissident5930 They were over water and high enough for the fuel to not reach the ground, but chose to dump fuel only after they were low and over land where they would drench whoever is below them. That's not what they 'had to do'.
"No severe injuries reported. News at 11"
They just wanted to land without delays as they were scared. It's understandable.
I actually saw this happen and emediatly said to my self wtf are they doing are they really dumping fule at this altitude
*Fuel
@@rhuttrho88 so “emediatly” didn’t do it for you? Lol
Well you clearly weren't at one of the schools judging by your awful spelling!
Stop lying.
@@richardgorton5630 English probably isn't his first language
Caryl, here. I have flown delta for my entire adult life. I still trust them with my life and the lives of the people i love. Delta has always taken me home.
@3:27 I like the view from the cabin with just enough scratches, dirt, smudges, and glare on the window to make it look very realistic. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Those scenes look so real, I thought maybe they WERE actual videos from the incident!
I’ve watched and listened to several aircraft emergencies and I have to say this is one of the worst. The crew handled this very poorly and luckily no one was seriously hurt.
They did the job, but they were in a big hurry, hence the fuel dumping. Did they thik the other engine would fail soon?
so the two remaining unanswered questions are; What was the captains rationale for dumping fuel so low over a populated area & what punishment (if any) was metered on them for not following the fuel dumping regulations?
Ohh so they were the ones who dumped the fuel over Los Angeles? I remember now
East or west "the flight channel is best " please post a video on thai airways
Already done
corny
Game name
I think the pilot was really spooked by the engine trouble and just wanted to get back to LAX asap; didn't want to spend time flying to safe zones to dump fuel.
Imagine if the mothers of those kids were karens:
*"I TOLD YA CHEMTRAILS WERE REAL"*
or if the kids were smokers
I don't know if chemtrails are real or not but it's rather rude of you to call anyone who has an opinion that differs from the official narrative a karen.
@@danielpavlick5006 of course chemtrails aren't real. Literally everyone knows that.
I thought Karen's were leftie types?
Yh chin
They are real asshole
Good thing none of those elementary kids were sneaking a smoke.
I lived in Elk Grove Village IL and my condo parking lot was a great place for commercial planes landing at O'Hare to dump excess fuel. Most of it atomized because of altitude of planes relative to normal pre-landing altitude - but my windshield and hood always got plenty of non-harmful fuel deposits from the never ending air traffic landing at O'Hare. Its good for your spleen...
I can only think the crew got rattled and didn't want to wait, but seems like they handled everything else really well. Odd.
I think they forgot they were dumping.
This was a very clickbaity title, TFC and RUclips has been cracking down on that. Furthermore, you're better than that, TFC. Great video as usual, but be better next time. As soon as I saw the date I knew something was off because, well, a plane flying out of LAX bursting into flames would've made worldwide news.
He didn't mention what specifically burst into flames in the title. The engine did burst into flames, not misleading at all.
What were the pilots thinking?? As they had regained control of the engine the 'emergency' was not critical enough to dump fuel at low altitude and over populated areas.
TFC your recreation of these aviation events are outstanding. Thanks!
It is very important to know what caused the engine failure and foremost, why the crew disregarded all rules for fuel dumping.
Hope the final investigation reports, findings and the action taken report will be published.
Still await the investigation report and findings of the PIA crash in Karachi and IA crash in Kochi.
PIA is pilot error, we already know, there's nothing to add in it
The Aircraft Aviation yes but while initial reports have been released including pilot error as a reason the final reports can take over a year to release for air accidents.
@@YEETMAN-dt9mb I totally understand you, but the main cause is certain, ya know what I'm talking about?
@@V1Fleetz That's the verdict but the black box, the voice recorder and the investigation will definitely reveal what transpired, the sequence of events that led to the conclusion that it was a pilot error.
The sequence of events question the ability of the pilot as in this case of fuel dumping in populated area.
@@sushilkumarsaraf4399 lol the CVR and FDR have already been seen, we know everything and the"sequence of events"
such a huge relieve that there’s no crash etc but I feel sorry for that fuel piss😌💦🙄🙏🏿 I like how they communicate each other it is like a bedtime story ˜😬ₕₑ ˜😅ₕₑ ˜😛ₕₑ without the ‘scarry’ parts of course🥲 amazing video as always althou I am completely zero about aviation, I do love these kind of contents💕
This gives the new meaning of the term ** Making It Rain" 🌧️
Not heard that one?
10:10 beautiful sound that I listen when I am out of my house, from right to left
This is pretty interesting. As a aircraft propulsion engineer, I found this to be a pretty good description of what happened. I assume the fuel dump below FL 5000 was caused by 'fog of war' stress.
Below 5 million feet?
Disagree. Pilots pushed back on initial approach instructions, so they could have extra time, but were vague as why. I'd have thrown the book at them.
A couple of years ago, The Atlanta system was down and all inbound aircraft were diverted ,or retuned to their point of departure. I was in a car driving up to Seattle and noticed a boeing 717 on final into Tacoma dumping fuel . It was an alarming sight ,but after hearing about the Atlanta computer outage I wondered how many other aircraft were dumping over populated flight paths.
every time that engine blow happens my muscles tighten. i'm in that fight or flight mode...
Was there any disciplinary action for the crew that made this dangerous fuel dump over populated areas that injured many children?
Good question.
This is insane, my family has been living across the river from LaGuardia Airport in NYC for about 50 years, its aviation space at very low altitudes and we have neverrr experienced anything like this. Fuel dumping over land? Nuts
Insane situation. Read about it in the news when it happened and I expected some kind of explanation that the plane had reasons to dump like this because of serious trouble. However, nothing like this. Just complete inadequacy.
