no ones talking about the flight engineer. critically injured right in the beginning on the verge of death, and yet held down the attacker down the entire time. more than half dead and yet saved the plane from being taken over. amazing.
so amazing actually. so much respect for him and the co pilot and pilot for cooperating greatly even after their severe injuries.
adrenaline probably. really crazy what the human body can do
@@pinkpugginz
You sure got that right.
That fight or flight adrenaline pushes through your body like a tsunami. That the possibility of flight is rendered impossible, the fight response would become intense.
The only thing I can reference to prove the incredible strength adrenaline causes is the mother, who's son was working on his car in the garage. The jack somehow collapsed and the entire weight of the car was crushing his chest to his thighs.
His mom had stepped out there and saw her son trapped. She screamed, a neighbor across the street in his own garage saw what was going on and started to run over. Just as he reached their driveway he saw the mom lift the car up and off her son. He knew what he needed to do and raced in and pulled the woman's son from under the car mom was holding up.
He got him out and mom had to let go.
Her son has some internal injuries, nearly all his ribs were cracked or broken, one of his hips was broken, add his upper thigh was broken. He survived but healing was lengthy.
As for mom; she didn't get out unscathed. Ligaments we're torn in her elbow, and shoulder. Muscles in her other arm and pectoral muscles were pulled severely. In her left hand cartilage, and bones broke from the compression, and tendons were damaged.
She healed but had lingering problems with her left hand.
She'd do it again though, I guarantee it. No parent would not try to save their kid.
Oh yeah, her son was 30, she was 55!
You got it so right man.
Of course he is an other hero with pilot all are hero's.
Thank you God they are a life .bless a life
He's definitely a miracle
The fact the captain was able to safely land a plane that was overweight while being severly injuried and without his glasses is incredible.
Overweight, Injured, no glasses, and over speed limit.
@@Jake-cy7to that man’s a legend
even the co pilot did amazing maneuver !!!
And not to mention the damage done to the aircraft during the attack
The fact that a fellow coworker made it on the plane with weapons is just mind blowing. These aircrafts are worth millions one would think the airlines would have thought about this scenario possibly unfolding. One things for sure I bet they have heightened security for everyone boarding a plane now even the crew. Sad that it took an incident like this to make changes.
The amount of rage that threatened to boil over in my mind when Calloway screamed "get your foot off me, you're hurting me!" after having bludgeoned all three crew members to the brink of death with no remorse.. I have no words. Grateful for everyone else in this story who were alert, did their jobs right and even went above and beyond to make sure the plane landed as safely as possible with no lethality.
I know..insane..Oh REALLY..IAM HURTING YOU...OOH SO SORRY...I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME....YOU GOT A BE KIDDING..SELFISHNESS TO THE MAX...HE STILL ONLY CARED ABOUT HIMSELF..
Same here!
They all do that when they are being arrested.
Honestly, i think it was just a desperate act of manipulation to find a chance to overpower them more so than him actually feeling hurt and saying that in response
Just as disgusting either way though
Calloway was a legend in his own mind....never had the mentality to handle being a pilot....
Wow, this is like straight out of a movie. The 2 persons battling the bad guy in the back, risking their lifes, while the person in the cockpit is doing insane stunts including almost turning the airplane on its back. I'm so glad everyone survived and the airplane managed to withstand those manuvers.
I wish it WAS a movie. 😊
I started watching this with the intention of playing fortnite and I ended up exiting FN.
The part that hurt me the most is that three passionate and heroic pilots couldn’t fly anymore after this incident .. it pretty much ended their flying career 😞
ikr :(
It's better than being dead. They sustained work related injuries. FedEx is covering for their disabilities. 👍🏾
@@FranciscoPerez74 nah they shouldnt have gone thru that to begin with. Hope FedEx gave them huge compensation since they couldnt work anymore
@@cozyfire13 FedEx probably gave them vouchers to send 3 packages for free.
Right
6th grade teacher: when you have an adrenaline rush it's called a "fight or flight" response.
Pilots: We choose both.
Wow this comment is so fly I jumped out of my jump seat!!
Underrated lmao
Yeah it’s most definitely fight and flight 😂 pilots don’t act like most people during stressful situations
Brilliant!
😂😂
49:35 You can clearly see and hear the sadness in which he speaks about something that was taken away from him. It's a shame they could never fly again. 🙁
But I'm really happy they managed to not only survive this incident but also recover from serious brain injuries. I've seen people not fully recover from much less, when it comes head trauma, so I'm glad they were able to.
The captain is 1 of the best pilots I've ever seen. He flew a jumbo jet as if it was a fighter jet in a war. I hate he went through this but he saved so many lives. ✈🇺🇸
He saved 3, excluding the hijacker.
Not to mention any lives on the ground had the plane crashed.
he only saved 3
@@walkwest3 and how many lives have you saved?
Uhhh, a lot! Especially in bedwars!
This is an example of a pilot who didn't just learn to fly a plane but thoroughly understood everything about flying and the machine he was in. Also what a testament to hiring ex-military pilots.
Also to the people that built this plane.
@@AromaBlue and the mechanics who kept it fine tuned
Bravo!my three hero’s!
This pilot was not only ex military, but an ex military fighter pilot.
Throughout the maneuvers, I was marveling that the cargo stayed in place.
Horrible person. Taking away these three innocent men's passion, and severely injuring them while trying to take their life. Disgusting.
Exactly
His wife drove him to do it. What kind of person is she?
@@keepingup2952 Then they’re both horrible. Doesn’t make him less horrible, he still tried to do it and was gonna go through with it. I see where he’s coming from but man that’s a CRAZY solution to things.
I have to play devil’s advocate here just a bit. First, let me make it very clear that I’m extremely sorry for what those pilots endured and as a result, what they’ve lost forever. I cried watching them at the very end. However, Mr. Calloway had a mental illness that kept him from having the ability to cope with life’s tragedies that most people handle just fine. He also suffered great loss, albeit due to his own actions, nevertheless with lifelong horrible consequences. What kind of relationship do you think he has with his children as a result of what he did? They also suffered
@@chriscooper7642 lets not whitewash and minimize this monster. He planned n knew what he was doing
theres no telling how many lives were saved. these men are real life superheroes.
I think it's only cargo...and 2 pilots and 2 engineers..they all survived
@@kirabogloria2187 if that plane crashed where the attacker intended it to, it could have exploded and killed many people at the landing pad. it says so in the video…
they saved themselves. the attacker wasn't going to crash it into civilians he just wanted to die and get insurance money.
“Get your foot off, you’re hurting me” he deserves that pain and more for what he was attempting to do all so he could provide for his family and even at this point did he really think that with this mass murder-suicide that they’d still get the money from his insurance?
He wasn't as smart as he thought.he was.Fred Smith
He disabled the audio recorder so that they wouldn't know but he was to dumb to think they would call maintenance to fix it.
Should have stepped on his b$$$s.!!!!
🥀🇺🇸🥀
My thoughts
Exactly
🇺🇸🥀🇺🇸
That’s the unanswered question: would they have granted the insurance money, or would they have figured out what happened. Even without the CVR the spear gun might have seemed suspicious?
So just to secure his children's future, he was going to leave other children without their fathers. What a nasty horrible selfish piece of work.
he was innocent
@@jaylockwood5030 how so ?
Tunnel vision and a bit of narcisism. Think his first target was his old crew, with a woman at the helm. What would have happened if the crew hadn´t been changed?
@@raquellofstedt9713 you would have done the same
@@jaylockwood5030 Bye troll
Tucker is a real G, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a pilot say he was using the plane as a weapon against his attackers. That’s just badass
He’s like Harrison Ford, a true warrior. God was with that flight!
I've heard of using a plane as a weapon, but not like how he did it.
that flight data recorder should be in a museum if they got a recording of Tucker’s flying! 🤩 legendary!
Tucker is a coward. He could have easily got the airplane flying straight and level, set it on auto-pilot and then joined the party at the back. But he used the aircraft to keep them away from him. He was really thinking about himself.It was a flight or fight response - 2 pilots were in a fight response, and he was in a "flight" response.
@@pizzaplanettruck9761 9/11
The cockpit crew showed more heroism than I have ever seen even in a fictional story. True heroes!
You can hear Dave Sanders struggling to talk at many points in his interview. It’s terrible that the three of them were never able to fly again but they saved the lives of all the workers in the FedEx hub.
That bad guy is a monster, horrible person. Good he’s rotting in jail. You wanting to end your life that’s your business, BUT to harm others around you or taking their lives also is NOT acceptable!
He should get a life sentence in jail
@@Blockguy-md8cn 46:43
Glad he's locked up thought he may have got off a insanity plea thank you Jesus .
Yea……he is in there for life.
Especially what happened after 9/11.
Even Obama declined give him a presidential pardon!
and whines because they were hurting him!
Everyone's talking about the people. No one going to realize how well that plane held up? Performing evasive maneuvers meant for a fighter jet and tires holding up during landing. The engineers/maintainance workers need a raise.
The pilots got fired which is really sad because if they didnt do their actions the plane would have crashed
@@hasanhaitham276 They didnt get fired, the real reason is that they 3 got severe injuries that they are not capable of flying anymore
@@hasanhaitham276 they didnt get fired.... they arent physically capable of flying anymore. one of them probably has permanet brain damage
@@lemondrop8265 permanent brain damage huh? Seems like we have the same thing in common
@Dustin Kramer did you miss the joke?
You three deserve the awards. Also thank you for your service gentlemen. I appreciate what you did for federal express. You saved a bunch of lives. Congrats.
I know everyone is giving that flight crew much deserved respect for their heroism, but can we also give a moment of respect for the aircraft for its performance in this event? And in the aftermath McDonnell Douglas actually met with Tucker for a debriefing for how he was able to handle that DC-10 without losing the aircraft because he handled the majority of the flying during the attack.
gotta give the maintence crew a their much deserved respect
It's nothing short of a miracle that a plane notorious for so many problems survived such an incident.
FedEx Flight 705 was the DC-10's ultimate redemption story. After so many crashes from losing cargo doors, hydraulics, engines, etc. in the 70's and 80's. The DC-10, with all of the lessons learned from the past, performed beyond what it's designed to do and saved countless lives.
@@dynasty0019The DC-10: It’s life was a turbulent ride, but the landing was beautiful
@@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness To be fair, the crash of American Airlines 191 was caused by improper maintenance, not a design flaw.
Saddest thing, All three of them were never Class 1 medically cleared to fly again. This part is the worst thing that can happen to a Pilot.
That’s sad because he took that from them
What does that mean
@@phr3ui559 When you become a pilot, you are given a medical certificate Class 1, 2, or 3. If your medical status changes, your certificate class will likely lower, putting your career in jeopardy.
@@aviatorchannel8256 sheiiit
@@phr3ui559 They basically had to change careers and financially were put into complete shambles. Glad not 1 rich wallet packed government official did not bother to help at all. Probably why the hijacker flipped out to begin with. The stress and lack of appreciation. We are all human.
It's unfortunate that Calloway took away their careers in a selfish act, but given that it's possible he would've crashed the plane into the terminal, those three pilots sacrificed their careers to save dozens, if it not hundreds of lives.
3500 work there during the day and 7000 at night.
T said attempted murder and the men talking about the stuff is them well besides call away he’s rotting in jail
@Ethan Aasen They suffered massive head trauma. Most high-profile jobs requiring you to operate heavy machinery and where you're responsible for the safety of other people have strict regulations on mental health.
For example if you have a history of epilepsy, you can't get a pilot's license, even if you're on medication. The risk is too high.
Commercial airline pilots must maintain a spotless mental health record.
Its incredibly selfish of Calloway such a coward. The three crew members are truly heros and I just glad they were able to stay alive.
Hell to Calloway
I am personal friends with his son. The man is a great guy, loving husband/father and has a solid career. What his father did was completely nuts.
We are not our parents mistakes. I’m glad to hear his son is such a great human being and wonderful father.
Wow
What career? Is it related to aviation?
@@alfredfreedomjones5105 yes. He's an instructor.
@@HeinzGuderian_ thanks for responding! Best of luck to him 🍀
Watching the pilot casually talking about how he had the airplane TURNED OVER IN THE AIR just blows my mind.
That was brilliant flying. The plane held it together. "Get off, you're hurting me!" Heck, I'd be kicking the heck out of him
Really, it's not as though they were in their clear, mental thinking.
The amazing thing is that the DC-10 involved in this incident is 36 years old now and still flying for FEDEX to this day.
@@AviationNut They NEVER were dangerous, just rushed into production initially.
This incident among others is why I'll forever die on the hill that the DC-10's reputation was undeserved. The cargo door got fixed, and the incidents that it's been involved in since have been through no fault of its own (maintenance, terrorist attacks, bad piloting, etc.)
@@htos1av
Where did i say the DC-10 was dangerous?. The DC-10 became a great workhorse and tough aircraft, it's one of my favorite aircraft.
I will never complain if FedEx loses or delays my package ever again.
ok
Right!?😂
Or if there’s a delay or traces of blood (they tried to clean it).
Exactly lol 🤣🤣
The odds of this happening are like 1 in a million.
Oh my gosh how was he able to move the plane like that???! That’s insane, what a skilled pilot and thank god the plane held up
This particular plane also suffered a cargo fire not long ago. But she survived (again). What a tank.
It’s abhorrent this man tried to take their lives, but it’s a travesty he took their livelihood. What an amazing story of three true professionals.
Severely, no doubt they're set for life, but damn, I'd want to have my own airplane(always have) still.
I could not agree more. Seems that everyone lost that day. It sounds like he may not have managed to take their lives, but he killed their spirit and passion.
@@freddapelter8332 no he didn’t
The insurance company would have investigate aftermath and discover it was suspicious what he did prior to the plane crash and not pay a dime......
pardon....
Pilot asked for armed intervention. Only one paramedic enters the plane without handcuffs lol
And dude was firefighter too. So much for the traffic controller’s “roger that”
I was expecting a SWAT team.
Sanders did say they had it under control.
@@pizzaplanettruck9761 I'd still expect an armed presence after attempted hijacking but maybe that's just me.
@@pizzaplanettruck9761 no doesn’t matter. When the term hijacking has been uttered on board an airplane. You gotta expect at least some type of law enforcement to show up before the paramedics and firemen.

One things for sure I bet they have heightened security for everyone boarding a plane now even the crew. Sad that it took an incident like this to make changes.
To the three men, the engineering and build quality of that plane, well done. What a hell of a challenge to overcome, disappointing but perfectly understandable as to why they won't fly again, absolute legends.
Those pilots saved a 50 million dollar plane and potentially an entire FedEx hub. I hope they were given more from the company then an "award"
Well it was insured so…. Probably not
@@allstarmark12345 yeah .. all ships and planes are insured before they start operating.
In india , it's compulsory even for cars..
We cannot drive legally without insurance .
It's more than 50 million
@@divyanshsingh3231 Same in many of the US states. I believe there's a couple that don't require it, but for instance if I buy a car with cash (versus a loan) I only need one type of insurance that protects other people, whether injured on the ground or have property damage or in a car. Meanwhile there is a second type that you normally need if you do a lease or buy a car on a loan. I need to carry it for $100,000, even though my car was worth $35,000 brand new.
It's simply to make sure you can't drive off after an accident, and the other coverage is to protect your car. But if I cancel my insurance (all of it, or just the part that protects other people) then the state is notified. If I don't turn in my license plates too, taking the car off the road, I get charged like $8 a day for going uninsured. And I believe after a while it'll even require a new registration.
@@Cris-em9tn What @Divyansh is referring to is the same thing you are talking about. It’s called 3rd party insurance here. The first party insurance is not mandatory. So, it’s not necessary to insure your vehicles.
Wow the end where the captain says, "I really miss flying" broke me down I tears, I swear to God
For what it’s worth Jim Tucker did eventually take up recreational flying again.
Same
This is why FedEx is the best shipping company because even when they have attempted hijacking and murder, they can still deliver your package
Those 3 pilots are HEROES. Actors whose potraying them are also excellent.
The actors were excellent 👍💯. Felt like I was there
@@TheLavennovell yeah it seems very realistic
@@TheLavennovell yeah true

He leaves a suicide note for his ex wife and expects them to get the life insurance? Doesn’t seem so bright…
Certainly a bright man earlier in his life, seems mental illness/career rage/homicidal tendencies replaced that
What ya think shes gonna do with that money, as a flight engineer he should have had a reasonable salary to support his family, tellz me she was nuthin but a gold digger and he did that for absolutely nothing. He has one hell of an honorable past but he basically un did everything good he achieved by doing what he did.
@@jakstorm3180 wow. Somebody got burned. Let’s stick to the facts. The reason he was triggered to do what he did was because he was likely going to get fired for forging how many flight hours he had. He was going to get fired. And if you paid attention, there are two contradicting stories on why he did it. One story is that he wanted to give the life insurance TO HIS KIDS (so I don’t know why you are bringing the wife into this) and the other story is that he did it so he could crash the plane into the fedex building. Yes. There are evil people out there, ex wives, family coworkers etc. It’s what you do about it that counts.
@@jilpok1074 Did you listen at all? They weren't being supported enough in his eyes because the wife probably was living beyond her means. So that's why he wanted to die so that more money could go to the family.
He was not a professional escrow and was more seeking revenge on his employer
Right now there’s actually a major petition for FedEx to preserve the recently retired DC-10 involved in this incident, tail number N306FE. Let’s all pitch in and help keep this piece of aviation history alive and not share the fate of the Gimli Glider!
For me there’s nothing better than cozying up under the blankets and watching these documentaries with my headphones on. Very grateful to have such quality content!
This is better than any Hollywood movie.
I agree with you 100%
Reality is often stranger than fiction
Hell yeah!
💯
Ye same
During his trial, Calloway attempted to invoke an insanity defense, but was found guilty of multiple charges, including attempted murder, attempted air piracy, and interference with flight crew operations. He received two consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole.
Good riddance… 😡
Am glad he lived to feel the punishment. If he was dead he wouldn't have felt nothing. He had to suffer to pay.
The Air Piracy one was reduced but he’s still going to be in prison for life.
I hope he really does stay there because sociopaths like him never change.
good, he should stay in prison, and never to leave it. if he ended up having parole or something else, he should never be in any aircraft (small or jumbo)
None of these man were selfish, none of them protected their own interest. All their interests were shared:to protect each other. The decision to let the captain fly the plane all while knowing that the other two who stays behind will be even more badly injured. Yet they just sacrificed in order for things to run as accordingly... such brave brave men
Just knowing this actually happened at all is mind blowing! There is not enough money or awards that could express the heroism that these pilots displayed. So happy they all survived. This was truly action packed and scary! I wonder if the people who received the packages from that flight know what happened in transit? ✈️
Yeah, me too. Curious to know as well if they did know what happened to that flight is very tragic.
Upset Member of the Public:
Hello is this FedEx Complaints?
FedEx Complaints: Yes it is... How can i assist you?
Upset member of the Public: Well my package arrived today in a very disheveled state and there appears to be blood all over it! I'm most upset by the unprofessionalism at FedEx not to mention that the package was meant to arrive a few days ago.
FedEx: "Well Mame now let me see... Oh yes! Your package was probably on one of our planes that had an attempted takeover...All three pilots were attacked and suffered severe head wounds as a disgruntled employee hit them over the head with a hammer whilst they were flying. They lost quite a lot of blood and were momentarily knocked out! They then managed to fight with their attacker for about 30 minutes whilst being hit a few more times whilst they wrestled with him. So yes there probably was a fair amount of blood splatter in that particular flight mame. And the package was most likely damaged as the plane was being placed into extreme g-force manoeuvres to help subdue the attacker.
We're sorry for any inconvenience or momentary trauma this may have caused you.
Member of the Public: "Oh my!" I guess that explains it Okay,Thank you!
"You're hurting me" Is that real? Did he really say that? If so, it should go down as one of the most absurd and utterly comtemptible cries of self-entitlement ever made.
I died laughing at that line. It’s out of this world ridiculous
I've seen firsthand so many people try to attack someone and then whine like that when they're slightly inconvenienced. I'm sure it's just the documentary but far from the realm of possibility.
@@nater567 yeah I think they just added that line
Yorick Jenkins You're absolutely right.
These videos are made from testimony and recordings, so yea, he really said that
The pilots instinctive decision to use the aircraft to his advantage, from his military training, that was exceptional.
That was really witty of them!!
Not necessarily. It could've been the worst decision to fly it like a fighter jet. If you remember, this airplane was falling apart because of the crazy speeds it wasn't designed to handle. So in lieu of stable hand-to-hand combat and the uncertain risk that entails, he could've sent them all to certain death by playing fighter pilot in a cargo plane.
can someone explain to me why when he realized he needed to dump the fuel he couldn't just put it on autopilot. isnt that the point of AUTOPILOT
@@ohh2752 I think its because he is already maneuvering the plane for landing(going down).. auto pilot can be use when you are flying normally with height stable from the ground.
@@fugie1215 ohh makes sense thank u !
What these three airmen accomplished is beyond incredible. It's amazing that they're all alive & and incredibly sad that they could not continue to do what they live for. The last part of this documentary just breaks my heart when they admit how much they miss flying....😢😢😢💔
They need to make a movie about this amazing story. These guys are living legends.
Tucker's fast thinking after being viciously assaulted is just extraordinary...the kind of thing you only hear about in Hollywood films, made real. What an amazingly brave, tenacious crew! Glad Calloway will never see the outside of a jail cell: such incredibly depraved disregard for the lives of fellow pilots.
He'll never see this either. I was in Federal prison and they don't give you cell TV's like they do in state prisons. Kind of a shame, because just acting this out looked exhausting. I'd imagine the director kept saying "I didn't say cut! Keep fighting!"

The pilots of flight 705 were true heroes fighting off Caloway. Despite the injuries inflicted on them, they managed to save the plane, as well as many lives at the FedEx Hub.
I worked for FedEx and it was because of this guy is the reason why FedEx discontinued the jump seat program which allows any FedEx employees to fly for free anywhere FedEx goes smh I hated him for this.
Wow. I did not know that little fact.
Sucks that one SOB (not racist, just stating he tried to murder 3 co-workers and crash a jet) can ruin everything for everyone else.
Those 3 pilots are real hero’s in my book. Hear FedEx is making sure to take care of them. They have ground jobs (like teaching) and are ok financially.
@@equarg it isn’t being racist when someone of color commits a crime that endangers others and you point them out unless of course you start calling him racist names. But yea he ruined it for other FedEx employees because we were enjoying the luxury of flying for free.

This is one of the most moving accounts of strength, fortitude, LOSS (for all) and what the Pilots and Engineer did to keep that plane in their control, and what they most likely prevented (awful devastation by Calloway) is a testament to those men and their character.
These three men are absolutely amazing. I'm just in awe that they were able to land safely.
The acting in this is so good, i cant believe how well done this is, i have no complaints.
Indeed! Also in 24:28 the vibe is serious but I find it cool and funny.🤣
@@shelbycameros923 @10:40 LOL LOL LOL
@@gambittodd for real i was like, did he hit his head before takeoff or something? Thats alot of blood
This is better than movie acting.
11:00 blood on his head before he even gets hit LOL
This is by far my favorite episode. These men are tough as NAILS! First, the second officer does (what they call) impossible maneuvers to help his crew, Then the pilot completes a CRAZY landing _without his glasses_ AND _with blood running into his eyes!_ People say there are no longer heroes. If anyone says that I'm showing them this video! These three men are MY heros.
Edit: Every time I have a bad day I come and watch this video, and its like my problems are a grain of sand compared to what they went through. I hope you guys know that you're still my heroes!
That’s what you call a smooth operator
@@RiceReaper nice
Very good quote and true
Heroes No 1 definitely
I feel the EXACT same way!! God Bless these extraordinary people!!!!
Lord have mercy. I've been on the edge of my seat the whole time. Glad all three are okay.
They turned that huge plane into their weapon...treated it like a fighter jet....Dammm this is single handedly the most amazing thing I've watched on this channel....I mean have you seen how he rotated that plane and then the landing???
Everybody gangsta till DC-10 starts going air show mode
???????
What does that mean?
@@Esmsage flying maneuvers
And the fact that all of these maneuvers are nearly exceeding the limit of DC-10
I think Tucker was trying to crash the plane because he was thinking he was going to die and the Captain and the engineer then he changed his mind hearing them screaming to stop the dive....
Dude changes his last will and testament, leaves it on his bed, writes a note to his ex-wife, and has to ask special permission to be on this particular flight, and he thought people were just gonna believe the crash was an accident? There's no way the life insurance would have been paid out in full.
Yeah, there’s a few inconsistencies with the theories put forth. I read through trial transcripts trying to figure out what the actual motive and plan was, but he didn’t share. He plead not guilty. Had a good legal argument too, but the Judge wasn’t going to let poorly written law get in his way.
@@mikemck4796 legal argument? How?
@@urmichandak1110 Some laws are just worded poorly, and trial courts are supposed to uphold the letter of the law.
It’s been a couple years so the exact phrasing might be off, but here’s the jist.
The big charge he had was a hijacking/piracy charge.
Part of the requirement for the charge was that he “take control, or attempt to take control of the plane.”
His lawyer argued all evidence and testimony points towards him never attempting to take actual control of the plane. Testimony showed he had the opportunity to do so, but never did. He simply beat the pilots.
The prosecution said they believed he intended to eventually crash the plane, but admitted there was no evidence he ever went for the controls, or directed the pilots to do anything with the plane.
The judge ended up ruling that while he didn’t try to control the plane directly, by attempting to stop the pilots from controlling the plane, by extension was taking control. So the judge allowed the charge to stand.
The problem is that’s clearly bad logic. If that were true, the idiots pointing laser lights at planes attempting to hit pilots eyes could be argued to be hijacking the plane.
People who act up, forcing the pilots to deviate from their route would be hijacking the plane.
It was one of those situations where we all know what he did should be illegal, but the laws at written are pretty bad.
Law regarding the sky is fairly new, and there are not a ton of incidents to test and shape the laws, so you run into technicalities like that.
Within the last few years some companies have started covering suicides. But you can’t add that clause to your policy today and off yourself tomorrow. You have to have an active policy for x amount of time.
@@mikemck4796 intentionally trying to disrupt the pilots flight, with the intent to cause the plane to crash, on board, should be what's classified as hijacking
All three of those men are absolute Chads. Mad respect to their composure, tenacity, and teamwork 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this really touched......that last sentences of those 3 people made me burst out of tears..."missing flying soo much"
Wow. These men were robbed of their piloting careers. All because a selfish man had a suicide/insurance fraud related mission. Thank you for spoiling his mission. And thank you for keeping him alive to forever think about his failure.
I cannot even begin to imagine what they went through. They saved so many people. They are true heros. Absolutely astounding how they pulled through this without allowing the attacker to take over.
On a side note, this documentary is incredibly well done as usual. I hope Wonder never stops putting these out.
The show is actually called Mayday (Air Crash Investigation). You can see this in the opening and see Mayday Season 3 Episode 3 in the video title. Look that up if you want to see more of the episodes in which many are not yet out on this channel.
I agree but how did they save so many people? It was a cargo flight.
@@veliki_dlek The ending of this documentary actually talked about how the hijacker might crush the plane to the headquarter of the company, if he did have full control of it, as a revenge. (Just a possibility but very chilling!)
@@veliki_dlek Crashing in the middle of a city?
Outstanding Performance and work surviving and taking control over the attacker gentlemen. What y'all showed was bravery to the extreme. I am very happy that y'all survived that horrible experience.
I mean just wow! I almost have no words. Just so proud of these 3 heroic men. They did exceptionally well considering the situation they've been dealt
I am absolutely awestruck by the sheer bravery, resilience and heroism of that flight crew. To survive this calamity, and then to have justice meted out is no small feat. How appalling that this saga was due to one delusional person's warped attempt to obtain financial gain. Thankfully everyone survived, and the perpetrator is incarcerated for the rest of his life. You think you've seen and heard everything there is, until you hear of a cataclysm like this. It keeps you humble. Please be safe out there.
Not at all pitying him because what Calloway did was idiotic beyond all compromise, but his motive for financial gain wasn’t necessarily for himself, but for his children in order to secure their future through funding for higher education.
There are much better and much more sane and logical means of doing so, but given Calloway’s history, he likely wouldn’t have known and probably carried so much rage against his now-former employers, that he ended up resorting to such an act of attempted air piracy and homicide.
I feel sad for Sanders and his crew as they were damaged so badly in the incident, both physically and mentally, to the point where they can’t return to commercial flying (not too sure on recreational flight but it’s probably not possible besides certain conditions) but their act of airmanship in order to survive was nothing short of astonishing.
It is horrifying to think that there are a lot of people who would and will do this to someone/something, I hope you stay safe as well.

Thanks for checking that out. I think I understood it better when it was in chinese.
@@StrangeHappening-iu4fu There are plenty of holes in his plan, to be honest.
They are Hero’s. FEDEX should not allow anyone on their planes without security checks. The same as regular passengers. Also the cockpit door should always be locked.
When will they ever learn? Lock the cockpit.
He was a FEDEX worker at that time....
@@e30kitty Still should have been locked out of the cockpit, he might have been a flight engineer, but he wasn't flight crew on that flight, he was a passenger.
@@bower31 This happened before 9/11, no one was locking cockpits in 1994
Most cargo planes today don’t have cockpit doors at all because usually it’s just the flight crew and the relief pilots on long hauls.
Extraordinary pilots and heros. I wish you guys the best of luck and good health. Very touched to be able to see you guys got interviewed
This video is just amazing. No other word for it. Glad that these men triumphed!
A really touching story. Almost wanted to cry in the end, so sad that those heroic pilots can't fly no more. :(
I agree.
They got the highest award in aviation history and they fucken deserves it
Respect sirs / amazing gentlemen
I actually did not get sad in the end, because the fact they all three survived after being hammered and hurt by a martials arts fighter is just amazing!
@@EddynsonDuque aaaa1
Noprob.. but They are Safe and ALive... In Front
These pilots are absolute heroes, working as a team to save each other, and probably untold numbers of people on the ground, possibly Fedex or other structures, etc. Just incredible to survive this cowardly ambush attack, attempted murder and attempted suicide.
It is so sad that these men can no longer fly. I hope they and their families were well taken care of by Fedex.
The pilots should absolutely be allowed to fly again, but only as co-pilots, so the captain or pilot would be able to help if they had a seizure or something
can someone explain to me why when he realized he needed to dump the fuel he couldn't just put it on autopilot. isnt that the point of AUTOPILOT
@@ohh2752 The plane was in an unstable state, low altitude, not flying steadily. Autopilot wouldn't work at that point because it can't calculate something as complex as the situation at hand.
@@fbi1319 thanks
This documentary touched my heart. All my respect to the pilots. I honor them deeply.
The fact that the 3 crew members are still alive and perfectly fine after so many years is super amazing.
Well idk about "perfectly" fine...
The fact that Peterson didn’t suspect Calloway messing with the controls is just proof of how he couldn’t think anything bad of this man. Tucker’s just badass my god, epic guy. Sanders, a brave man. All of them, I respect them so so much and they all deserve hugs
"Stop you're hurting me!"
Yeah let's just ignore the fact that you injured those 3 men severely

My god this is absolutely crazy. Watching this gave me insane anxiety. Those men are absolute heroes.
It's surprising - planes that are in rollovers or in extreme angles are usually the planes that are stalling and about to crash. The crew was able to control these extreme plane rotations without going into a stall!
And with serious, critical injuries that could easily have been fatal, too! These guys - that co-pilot especially - are just beyond amazing given their circumstances.
I’m shocked it didn’t break apart
True 👍
And that it was flying on idol the majority of the time when you would think a plane that size needs speed to get out of those maneuvers?? Someone was watching over them for sure.
It's a significant feat of airmanship walking the razor's edge and pushing the limits of the DC-10 to the verge and keeping it controllable at the same time. Especially walking that narrow line whilst having a severe head injury and only really able to effectively move his left side.
The saddest part was the 3 pilots not being able to fly for the rest of their lives
They may have to struggling for keeping basic Heath too. Monster bad guy! They should hammer bad guy's head good!
I just hope tucker and the rest of them still get paid a huge paycheck for doing whatever they please
Commercially, they could still fly a small passenger plane
In a way he did kill them because to most pilots flying *is* life. (One of my cousins is a pilot.) I'm glad he's rotting in jail.
They may have been allowed to fly under a recreational flights though so I hope they would be
"Yeah, you know, the problem with flying upside-down is that the damn windows are too small"
These pilots not only saved their own lives but potentially the lives of many. They are heros.
Plane is being hijacked...
Pilot "I got this!"
*does a barrel roll*
In a DC 10!!
Yeah that pilot is incredible he helped to save his other crewmembers lives while being severely injured and barely able to hold consciousness.
The DC-10 itself is it's own hero in it's right. It stuck together for it's crew under forces that normally would tear it apart. It went through maneuvers it wasn't not built to do, yet stuck together where it mattered the most. A lot of damaged happened to it both inside and out, but she held on.
The Lord kept it together.
That aircraft is still flying to this day for FedEx. Except the cockpit has been upgraded LCD screens and now it's only flown by a crew of 2 the flight engineer is not needed anymore, since the cockpit upgrade, since the upgrade the aircraft is called MD-10, instead of DC-10.
@@Faji9r No it didn't, the plane kept it together.
@@maxxdahl6062 you mean the super glue they use?
@@hunterbear2421 I'd trust that before I would "god"
Major kudos to the flight team. Incredible bravery and determination, above and beyond any expectations. They deserved their medals a hundred times over. So sad they aren't able to fly anymore. Yet, they are heroes, through and through.
Thank goodness for the quick thinking, team work, and for two of the three, the military experience, because without any of those, this might have ended very differently.
All because he didn’t had money? Glad the plane landed, and he got to prison.
Respect to the 3 men.
To kill 3 people and probably even more on the ground is pure evil just for money... Seriously what was he thinking??? What's with the families of the other people who also need their husband/father... He gave zero fs about that... F him...
@@RequiemDream obama blessed the 3 men
What he did was stupid but you are misrepresenting his motives. He did it to secure his children's future because I assume if he died on a company plane and he was successful at killing the crew so nobody else would know what he did, the company would have paid out his family a large sum of money most likely. Then life insurance, etc. If he got fired from Fedex, it would be all gone. So its not because he did not have money. Flight engineers get paid very well.
There's a whole back-story of what led up to his scheme. Calloway had done a couple of high-profile stupid moves at FedEx, including one where he'd impersonated another pilot and embarrassed the founder and CEO on a company-wide broadcast. That led to the top brass looking at him very closely, and found out a few lies on his resume. He was going to get questioned and most likely canned the next day, and this was a scheme to both strike back at FedEx (by doing a 9-11 on their main Memphis hub), while making sure his kids would get life insurance money by making the whole thing look like an accident. A Memphis reporter wrote a book called "Hijacked: the true story of the heroes of flight 705" that goes into what led up to the incident. Afterward, FedEx wanted the incident kept quiet, so they dumped a few million into getting that plane back in the air as soon as possible, even though they ended up rebuilding all of the flight control surfaces.
Howlong did he get sentenced
I'm confused. Calloway tried his best to make it look like an unexplained airplane crash, yet left all kinds of evidence at home to make it look like murder.
The mind of criminals.....
He graduated from Stanford too ?
i think it was more of a mental illness type situation, as it probably only started to impact him later in life
He wanted to commit suicide becuase he wanted his kids and wife to have a. Getter life they also got divorced
He probably assumed his family would not tell authorities once they found the notes.
@@Enchant314 yes that why he got life in prison. "NOOOO IT WAS MUH MENTAL ILLNESS" "you are free now" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I am watching this while my heart pumps so fast 😞 i cant believe.
thank God is with them 🙏🏼
All three of them are heroes. The co pilot and a captain are amazing.
Thanks for the re-enactment. It was tremendously life like and almost like everything happening before my eyes! Kudos to the real pilots and the actors too.
kiind of makes you wonder what they even do in hollywood. obviously not acting. THIS IS ACTING.
The actor Phillip Jarrett playing Auburn Calloway on air crash investigation fight for your life was on the that Steven Seagal movie exit wounds that be why Steven Seagal knows that actor
That big, toothy smile at 46:41 enraged me. He almost killed three men, left each one with a permanent disability, without salaries and the ability to continue in their profession and sheer enjoyment of flying airplanes.
It made me absolutely furious, he made their life hell and then he has the sheer audacity.
To me it looks like he's crying and not smiling...

@@ewjiml don't think you are the only one
DAMN!!! Just when I thought my life was tough. I was glued to this episode! Freaking amazing what these guys did!
Crazy how the plane ✈️ stayed together during the maneuvers the pilot did and the crew worked together to fight the bad guy after being attacked.
It's ironic that Calloway writes that he would prefer to die on a date, time, place of his own chosing since he was attempting to take that away from his fellow crew members and anyone on the ground that would have been killed
He’s a psychopath, he has zero empathy for those he tried to kill.
He turned Devilish.....!
Yeah, I mean we would all like to chose, but chose to take three people (at least depending on where they crashed) with you? That´s just a%% h¤7&ry.
Oh my goodness..this is just so sad.
But what extraordinary quick thinking. My hat off to these three men.
