- Bad weather can turn an ordinary flight into a fight for survival. And the right information and equipment - both on the ground and in the air - can mean the difference between life and death. In December 2008 the United States was battered by a series of fierce storms.
Which episodes of Mayday: Air Disaster do you remember that included bad weather that contributed to air disasters?
From Season 2 Episode 2 "Cruel Skies": Cruel Skies brings viewers inside the U-S Aviation Weather Center in Kansas City Missouri throughout the worst of those storms to see how forecasts are made, how information is passed on to pilots, and how planes are diverted around the most dangerous weather. Cruel Skies also revisits four pivotal aviation disasters and near-misses that have taught the industry how to get planes in the air safely.

Southern Storm, about the crash of Southern Air flight 242
Delta 191
Delta 191 (MIcroburst), Southern Storm (SAL 242)
this channel has shown me that pilots and flight crews are EPIC
Yes indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking..we've seem to overcome that problem and managed to start all the engines.
I can only imagine the awsome joy they must've felt at that moment.
Not as much as stopping, tho.
Good bless Sadia for here help and compassion she gave to the survivors,
I have been in a DC-9, TWA, taking off from LIT. Weather was awful. Hit massive hail during climb out. Sounded just like what this is showing.
i got chills, its a terrible story and rest in peace to everone who died in that crash
i also love this channel
The AA 1420 crash was partly the fault of American Airlines part as according to this the pilots were pushed to fly this (known as get-there-itis) and caused the crew to make many mistakes. The captain seemed totally unaware of things and it was the first officer walking him thru it and was still a disaster especially when the captain said that he didn't know where they were.
In the 1980s I never heard of a microburst until these plane crashes due to one. Thank goodness for Doppler radar which is still with us now. Southern 242 happened just one week after the Tenerife disaster. It probably made some people think twice about flying.
Flight attendant Cathy Lemoine-Cooper passed away in June 2020 (age 69)
This episode was sooo good. It ended up making me feel safe and warm and well-cared-for. The people who take care of our safety in the sky are just like present-day HEROES serving all of us. Thank you! 😇
That's true. I think of all those small propeller planes I had to take in the winter to get around to my job responsibilities in Wyoming and I'm astounded we never had a crash.
SNOW IN TEXAS
Your welcome
Some sort of abort and maintain should be called out instead of a microburst
Would u fly again after this though?
The dents in those fuel tanks from DL191 are still there and I saw them every time I landed on runway 17C at DFW
4 scenes of air disaster
4:09 1. Southern Airways Flight 242 🇺🇸
18:55 2. Delta Airlines Flight 191 🇺🇸
27:43 3. American Airlines Flight 1420 🇺🇸
38:21 4. British Airways Flight 9 🇬🇧
Thank you. This was really kind of you to break down each event by timestamp. Stay safe, and have a great day!
Note to self: NEVER, EVER get on a flight labeled 191. American Airlines 191 is the worst single craft crash in US, I think...now you have Delta 191, too.
NOPE.
Open field like the one pilot said was the best choice. Landing on any highway or roadway your probably not going to be able to stop the aircraft before you impact something that is going to breach the wings and cause a explosion.
Thinking of the Southern incident, it reminds me of one of the worst flights i encountered in 1980 in a B 727 over Africa - The weather radar equipment on aircraft prior to HD color resolution must have been quite tricky in order to maneuver or properly detect thunderstorms - I recall on my night flight over Africa that we hit some activity and the pilots even admitted over the PA that they got "surprised" by the weather and were to take action avoiding the cells which somehow didnt really work out and our plane got tossed around in the night - It was very scary and took about 30 minutes until we were out of the worst.
45:32 Flight Engineer Barry Freeman: I can't believe it Engines 1 and 2 both back online
Excellent. I had never seen this one. Love Greg Feith.
43:55 THIS is the reserved Brit.
Keep calm and carry on.
no matter how bad you like to travel do not travel in bad weather and you will live to laugh about it soon.
Same with driving. Technically cars are more then capable of traveling safely in moderate rain downpours or in light snow showers as frequently done in areas where it snows very often, depending on the driver and tires and vehicle itself. but anything more heavy or risky. Like torrential rain [gully washer], hail, freezing rain, white out conditions, blinding fog. Things of that nature. Then your safest bet is don't drive if you don't have to, or pull off somewhere and wait it out. Sometimes calling in late for work due to weather, can save your life.
Better safe than sorry
Passengers always blow up when flights are cancelled. But they should keep in mind that airports and airlines want money, so the least they wanna do is cancel a flight. When they do it, their doing it for everyone's safety.
I like this series
Thank you
I don't want to fly in bad weather. A delay is best as a passenger.
I live in a snow state. I AVOID driving in shite weather and I was BORN in a snow state, so I know how. I hate it so much. I AVOID it.
This is basically a recap of all the episodes already seen/available on RUclips.
Would someone with more aviation knowledge than me be able to tell me if flying lower helps when dealing with a bad storm? I know the accident is from 1977 and much has changed, but I also know storms are still dangerous for airplanes.
In a mature thunderstorm it doesn't matter what altitude you fly at. That thing could be touching the tropopause (which is how they get their signature anvil shape) while also being only a few hundred feet above the ground. Inside a thunderstorm you'll find not only a ton of precipitation, but also vertical winds. A big cell with 3000 ft/min winds up or down in not unheard of. Just think of it as a giant column, you have to go around it. General rule of thumb is to stay at least 20 nautical miles away from the storm and to never fly under the anvil (hail loves to fall from the anvil).
Flying lower during a thunderstorm is a bad thing. If you lose control of the aircraft during a storm, the lower you are, the less time you have before you hit ground.
@@joshntn37111 That makes sense. Thank you for explaining.
@@bendriscoll302 I get what you're saying. Thank you for the answer.
Taking off in THAT weather?
Um, NO. If you dont wanna drive in it. You shouldn't FLY in it.
At 18:18 the DC9's nose wheel is invisible..
World it be possible That you make Video of the paninternational 112 flight where the plane crash on a Highway in Hamburg, germany after both Turbine Explodes? It was in 1971
Better to deal with the sigments and to compliment risk getting fired and arrested for several years for negligence if the plane goes down,
aye I'm an Aussie in KC
We are no longer able to view your videos in Mexico.. Can you turn it back on so we can? Thanks
*DC-9 = Death Coffin Nine.*
How many people watch w it in their chest and then it drops onto your face?
In the first crash, why did he want to land on a highway?
No choice. They had no engines. So all they had was their glide distance. And since they were at a low altitude, they likely didn't get much distance and thus time to find something better.
At 11:00 the nerd with his little narration sounded so phony, so contrived....looking for that Greg Feith level notoriety
Jason sudeikis did his best
Pity that passangers do not know anything about how industry is experimenting with their lives. To bad to say, we have learned so much. They will never know enough, nevertheless they don't mind to admut fully, how dangerouse flying is. Big businesd. Occasional lves do not matter to them.
This is not unique to aviation. Many advancements in medicine & technologies came off the backs & suffering of those that came before us.
Cathay parfic 780
Southern airways fight 242
Hmm i sense a lie, said no pilot wants to fly into a thunderstorm. I shall bring up the hurricane chasers and them diving into the eye
Apples & Oranges.
Pilots who are responsible for their paying passengers don’t want to fly into them.
@@AkronRain69fair point
Having patrick bateman's lawyer flying the airplane is not good
Kenya airways fight 507
Man that was a long intro

How the english language has evolved, now we say dead engines and everybody accepts, my cellphone is dead, lol was it ever living?
The changing ecology and climate are surely going to complicate air travel exponentially. Especially considering electrinic communications etc on aircraft are not keeping pace with science. The MH370 disaster is only one example after which no changes have been made.
eeeee mer gen cee

Pilots faukt gad gw just toik the feild not a freeway probably would hv saved more ppl sad shame rip
The DC9 is nod made for this meteo condition. The pilots are not true pilots, they are a children in their mind. Why must fly in this meteo condition, it is very important, pushing, etc.? When the meteo is not agreable it means stop flying. The passagers can wait for a good meteo. Rushing means brokes the job. A lot of airplanes in USA in the sky, it is not acceptable, exageration, it is not normal, etc.
Well that is a crash, this is why I dont fly, you have pay me to put my life in danger. If we were meant to fly god would have given us wings.
Too many informercials during this video

Greed money money money gambling with precious human lives- shame on you!
Bad weather is the worst enemy to an aircraft- however the greedy owners want money money money-
Sadly,
The last 5 videos on this channel are just compilations of previous videos. Running out of content to licence and re-upload?
Ha . I guess that they ran out of air disasters. Not so many lately .
Just make a compilation of old videos and pretend it's a new video. The sheep won't notice
