  • American Airlines Flight 965 carrying 164 passengers and crew to Cali, Colombia from Miami is running late. Two experienced pilots push the state-of-the-art Boeing 757 to make up for lost time. While descending into the Cali airport, a mechanical voice alerts the crew that the plane is off course and headed for a mountain. The crew tries to pull up, but the plane crashes.
    What were the factors that contributed to the tragic crash of American Airlines Flight 965 during the busy holiday season in 1995?
    Mayday: Air Disaster - From Season 2 Episode 4 "Lost!": December, 1995 - It’s the Holiday Season, and the skies are full. Airlines are straining to keep on schedule. Harried and frayed passengers, anxious to get home, are only serving to ratchet up the tension. In the middle of it all is American Airlines Flight 965. The plane is carrying 164 passengers and crew en route to Cali, Columbia from Miami. The plane is late, held on the tarmac in Miami for two hours, and the mood on board and in the cockpit is not one of Christmas cheer. To make up for lost time, two of American Airline’s most experienced pilots are pushing the plane to the limit.

    Any time a controller goes on break or leaves their station, a supervisor should be available to take over. Having a controller try and watch two screens is just begging for trouble, especially with all the repair work being done.

    My understanding is that if an ATC says anything that contradicts TCAS, you now say "Negative. TCAS climb.", or whatever TCAS tells you to do. That should have been the rule from the very beginning, yet even after several near misses (you almost always have a bunch of these before a crash happens) they just didn't get it. ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO NEAR MISSES!

The accident happened in 2002 and he was murdered in 2004, but he left his job due to the accident and didn't speak publicly about the accident in two years. His employer, Skyguide, spoke on his behalf, but I'm sure people wanted to hear his version of events since he was the controller on duty. People might of taken his silence the wrong way. People may of wanted to hear his version since he was there. Skyguide tried to protect him and people wanted to hear from him.

    • @SaltExarch
      @SaltExarch 6 месяцев назад +3

      The biggest factor in this crash (outside of poor ATC resources) was the confusion of whether to follow ATC instructions or automated instructions from the planes' system. In this situation the primary controller was dealing with inadequate equipment and limited communication, but if he had been working as normal, he could've diverted the flights himself. If the second air traffic controller assumed the first controller wasn't doing his job and pitched in, he could've easily only added to the confusion by giving a conflicting instruction to the pilots. There's reason there are laws and regulations against interfering with someone else's job, especially if it's safety critical.

    And the fact that this was totally avoidable only if both planes kept their distance based on TCAS or if the ATC office had more staff or if the planes had simple delayed their departure by only a few minutes. Damn.

    What is so UNFAIR is the SLACKER who took more than twice the allotted break time and left the one controller working alone was never held responsible for dereliction of duty. Had HE returned on time, this accident would never have happened. The sole controller was doing his best to cover both desks and has called out to the slacker telling him he was needed.

      The noise of planes at 10 pm forced ATC to close runway 14 to prevent sounds which pilots were familiar with. The supervisor left early and left a new ATC alone on pm shift to run the place. An accident occured due to pilot error they say but it was more than that. Same type of breakdown in the system.

    A flight instructor I know tells a story, with enough variations this had to have been a common occurrence, of flying with a student, ATC tells them to turn a certain way, student turns, flight instructor looks and sees a giant cloud in that direction, flight instructor tells ATC "unable", student has an aneurism, ATC calmly issues alternate directions. Cue a conversation about how following ATC is good, but the pilot flies the airplane. It's a good lesson. They drill "listen to ATC!" so much that a reminder "ATC is human, you have eyes, you know things ATC does not" is a good thing.

      Mindboggling that the russians trusted a tca only instead of tcas even though they should have known that when the tcas on the other plane also goes for descending they are screwed. Sadly ATC and Russians failed and the russians shoud have known better bc if you do a worst scenario run in the head a professional pilot should always come to the conclusion that the ATC can make an error and the demand is similiar to the other airplanes tcas which means eventhough TCAS tells you the rigth thing the pilot ignores it and follows the orders of the ATC.

    [ flight 2937 ]. I know night shift teams monitoring critical infrastructure and they are often understaffed. This is true here too, as some investigating parties listed in their findings. With repairs and maintenance in parallel and two active workstations to monitor, there must be more than two people. It should simply be forbidden that there is only one guy while the second person does his ( mandatory ) breaks. There must be a third (standby) person on location ( that gets fully paid ) and two more must be in standby that get at least a partly salary for standby service. It is a joke if understaffed night teams have to handle trivial requests ("Forgot my passwords") or have to handle maintenance jobs in parallel ("Patch this cluster and restart it ...").

    Nielsen, who had lived in Switzerland since 1995, spotted the intruder, went outside and asked what he wanted. His children accompanied him into the garden as well, but his wife tried to call them back; she was still inside when she heard a "kind of scream".

    This is actually almost impossible, but it still happens. If one plane would have taken off only 2 seconds later or earlier, if one has had just a little more headwind….so many factors and still they met at this time and place while taking actions to avoid it. I cannot wrap my head around this. What a tragedy.

    Well it's the wrong title, but they built a very nice memorial in the small town in Russia for the deceased children. If each pilot would have continued to fallow tcas instructions they would have been okay. R.I.P

      Ufa has a population of over 1 million 100 thousand - it's not a small town...

      @@skyedog24 Yes - the size of that town is irrelevant in this case, but I thought that I mention it, as when someone publishes a story - they should have all the facts straight. Yes - I know this story very well - watched various documentaries about that tragic event and the aftermath. Peter -the air traffic controller should not have died - it wasn't his fault... He was already devastated by this accident and if the victim's husband did let him live - that would most likely be a bigger punishment for him - than being assassinated. So many beautiful souls lost in a flash.
