And you forget to mention that both pilots received the Polaris Award, which is the highest honour associated with civil aviation awarded by IFALPA. It is presented to airline crews in recognition for acts of exceptional airmanship, heroic action, or a combination of these two attributes.
That’s only ever awarded to union members
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 so these pilots were Union members, right?? Or are you contradicting Warren P? They certainly deserved the award.
This is an example of why I am terrified to fly! So many things can get messed up. Usually maintenance related. The fuel was full of spherical particles because proper procedure wasn't followed after completion of construction!
@@shannonrutledge8872 There are bigger idiots on the road not following "procedures"... if you become aware of the hundreds of millions of people that travel by air and the miniscule chance of being on a plane with these issues, you'd be way more afraid of driving to the grocery store than flying to Hong Kong.
They were flying this plane like they were putting on their shoes!
And breathe. Didn't even realise I was holding my breath.
Damn! You are right! Me too!
Me tooooo
Yup
Me too. This was so well done, I held my breath and was pressing brakes for the plane to stop. LOL !!
skibi bop mm dada
After watching previous TheFlightChannel videos where you hear "Too low terrain" and "Pull up", I automatically got the sweats!
Those warnings were due to speed.
The plane was so fast that it's system judged that plane is reaching low altitude while flying. It didn't know that pilot's are trying to land.
@@Dumpy332 thank you for answering that. I was wondering why they got thise alarms while landing. So scary...
Nightmares!
Definitely the creepiest alarms 💀 😂
When “pull up” is finally a remotely good thing to hear
*you will never land if you never hear it
@theflightchannel if they had landing gear out...why did they get the pull up warning?
@@theoriginaltroll388 maybe air incidents don’t even exist, not even Flight 1549! Maybe!
@@artyjaycayairlines idk what you mean, but that was a honest question I just got into aviation recently and I wanted to know
@@theoriginaltroll388 my guess is that because it was overspeeding it was telling them to pull up... dont know though
Merry Christmas to all watching
@Noahscopee999 Merry Christmas to you
You too
You Too :D
You too)))
You too man
Still smoother than most of my landings with a keyboard and mouse in MS Flight Simulator 2020.
Will that run with 8gb ram on windows laptop?
Can't believe that I saw Tay Zonday in here
ha
here before someone says it
Tay Zonday youre an Aviation fan?????
Ah, yes, Smithsonian called their documentary on this incident "Deadly Descent"...but, like, nobody died...
Yeah it's still deadly accident if captain Pierre was in control
my thougts exactly
"Superabsorbent Polymer Particles of Doom!"
@@WG55 much better title 😂
@@WG55 Is that like Bounty the quicker picker upper??? lol,,,,,,,, Merry Christmas!
I can only imagine that the two pilots remained as calm as possible to focus on landing that plane. I thought surely they would slam fatally onto the runways tip. Apparently, they were skilled and w bit lucky maybe.
They were in fact very skilled and lucky. .......And don't call me Shirley! Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
Looks like skilled, they needed the full runway length and ignored the "too low" warnings to do that. Using flaps at too higher speed was also a risk.
@@jbenthere627 you're a karen
Skill ? Calm? Normal for the type of Captains Cathay employ. It's what they're paid for. Well done !
Part of the story was that the fuel filters on the fuel trucks were the source of the SAP particles - the fuel system at Juanda was contaminated with *salt water.* Fresh water's absorbed by the filter normally and all is well. Salt water, it turned out, reacted directly with the filter matrix and caused the fuel filter to *collapse,* leading to massive particle release. The whole AIRPORT'S fuel system had been made unusable and they had to basically pitch all their fuel and flush the pipes completely.
Since then the fuel filters have been redesigned so that there are salt-water resistant ones for seaside airports, or anywhere where salt water may be an issue.
@Patty Homes agreed
I read in other crash video that aircrafts have something called as "Fuel Quantity Indication System". Not sure why did it not detect contamination right after it was fuelled up.
@@atuldpatil Perhaps the clue is in the name? Does a "Fuel Quantity Indication System" also double up as a "Fuel Quality Indication System"? I don't know, but I would guess probably not.
@@nomdaploom Right. That's nice catch. I misinterpreted it for quality. My bad actually. Tysm.
I read the report, and I got the impression that the salt water caused the polymer filter media to form a gel within the filter which was then extruded under pressure through the solid filter media, thereby forming the small particles. The investigators were able to replicate the results in a lab. I could be mistaken though.
Well done Pilots!!! I wonder when the passengers realised there was a problem? Seasoned travellers must have wondered why the plane was landing so fast.
And with little to no flaps and with the spoilers already extended before touchdown (for pax with view of the wing)
People would've realised as soon as the engines went down. Cause God its a lot quiet when they turn off
@@pixelate9980 ... But the engines were not turned off until after stopping on the runway.
@@adb012 I meant when the engines were at idle mid-flight they generate much less noise compared to when they were producing thrust (or being operated at near 100%)
@@pixelate9980 In every flight the 2 engines are idled or almost idled for the descent from cruise atitude.
This is what I call “A Christmas Miracle!” Merry Christmas Eve to all, and hands up to you Flight Channel! ❤️
Thanks for ruining the video Murry Christmas!
This is not a Christmas Miracle this happened along time ago The owner of the trailer it’s made video and a different time after it happened
@@futfhifak4930 Obviously I'm talking about a miracle story being uploaded on Christmas Eve. You're welcome 😉
Merry Christmas Eve to you too🎉
@@mapleleafaviation304 Hopefully most people know how you meant it🙂
I'm notice at "The Investigation discovered that not all procedures had been followed... " OMG in Indonesia. I remembered how the plane crash like Adam Air, Air Asia, Lion Air, and others..
Those local indonesia airlines are crooks airlines except for Garuda Indonesia. To travel locally just always use Garuda.
Air Asia actually belong to Malaysia.
Adam Air ceased to exist.
Yep that sounds like Indonesia alright
Sriwijaya Airlines also
Watching this after 10 years of it happening. Saluting the pilots for their superb actions and airmanship in handling and landing the behemoth.
Didn't the video say this happened only 10 years ago?
@@KelseyDunlevy Apologies! Yes! Will edit. Thank you.
@@kpn574 you bet! What a story, though! Those pilots are extremely skilled. I Googled the captain, but couldn't read the full article about the story because it's a subscription service. The Wikipedia entry will have to do!
Aussies mate what do you expect were cool calm collected
@@caitlinprideaux782 Now I really wanna hear them interviewed about what happened lol
I remember watching this a year ago, glad everyone survived
Yeah same with me
yeah, same
yeah, didnt he already make a video about this incident?
@@MultiSniper38 Yep, He did!
Credit to the pilots.
To quote Luccas:"Fortunately, no one was injured."
I think it would be "Luckily, no one was injured".
Also... “Lucaas” I believe
@@jeffdrum5541 Yes
Was this plane the only one that received contaminated fuel at that airport? Or were other planes also affected by it (possibly with less serious consequences)?
I was thinking about the same question!
It was probaly the first who used the first load from the new pipeline, by filling the truck and then the plane the pipes where flushed almost clean
@@Jack-Fleming That makes sense.
It’s the illegal culture of Indonesians refuelling company. Even ships bunkering in jakarta port are being mixed with sludge oil.
@@Jack-Fleming That could indeed make sense. Unless it was a central pipeline which goes to multiple places.
GPWS: TOO LOW TERRAIN
Captain: “We don’t care about the -bank angle- gpws
Blue Panorama 1504? 😂
@@crashbandicoot4everr yes
LOL I remember that one.
Me in FS2020 when approaching Haneda, Tokyo:
Then proceeds to end the flight JAL 123-style.
@Cedric Ye. That was a great line from that Italian pilot, flying the plane back to the airport as one side was on fire!! He was turning sharp, when the audio warning came on "Bank Angle! Bank Angle!" Being in a very stressful, serious situation, the pilot said to his co-pilot "We don't care about Bank angle!" Someone commented that on the actual audio, the Captian said "F**k the Bank angle". Everyone should watch that video!! Excellent pilot skills!!!
LOL I was just watching your LOT airlines video and this showed up in my notifications! You always make great videos!! I even recommend your channel to all my friends and they love it!

Engine: YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOUR NOT MY REAL DAD *extreme fast sound intensified*
I get concerned if I'll be able to make it home if I get a "Check Engine" light on my car and the engine starts running rough. The worst that could happen is that I might have to walk home or get a ride, instead of worrying about falling out of the sky.
My car has the check engine light on and I just pretend I don't see it. It's worked for me so far.
Imagine going through that landing at night!!! Speed Speed, Too Low Terrain, Pull Up...
Landing at that airport isn't particularly relaxing at the best of times. I wonder what was going through the heads of the passengers.
It already happened, search Aeroperu flight 603, you can listen the whole cockpit conversation.
Captain : *Puts Engine On Idle*
Engine : *I'm Not Gonna Pretend Like I Didn't See That*
Engine: YOUR NOT MY REAL DAD *spools up*
This one genuinely had me at the edge of my seat and holding my breath. What an incredible example of CRM and airmanship.
Everyone survived! Yes!
Kudos for the crew, they handled it greatly!
A story with a lucky ending was just right for today.
I passed by a few new channels starting the same theme you're in , but you truly stand tall and high amongst them…
There are a few stars blinking, but you're the brightest!!!
It seems that pilots kept calm and did everything correctly. Good work! On some other flights (e.g. AF447) the pilots go full on panic mode the second the autopilot disengages and crash the plane.
I know 2020 has been a difficult year for all of us, but I'm very thankful for all your efforts during this time and I appreciate all the videos you gave in 2020. It has been an absolute pleasure taking this journey with you, and I am giving you Caribbean Blessings to you & your family during the Christmas Season.
Emergency "pull up, pull up" - video stops and I see a google ad!
Congratulations to the real crew that actually landed the aircraft and also congratulations to the person playing the flight simulator who recreated it
Keep up the good work, The Flight Channel! I've been watching your videos 2 years ago, at the age of 11,
and THIS is what inspired me to love aviation and want to become a pilot someday! Hope the pandemic can leave soon and the industry can recover to pre-Covid levels!
Great Video! Keep Making Videos Like This On The Future! Keep It Up!
This is the first time I’ve heard/seen a “Pull Up” with nothing to pull up from on TFC! The fact that they came to a complete stop over 300 M from the end of the runway is proof that it seemed to be an erroneous warning! Thank God everyone was safe! Merry Christmas to all!!
it was due to the planes speed, the plane was considered too fast for landing so it thought it was still flying hence the terrain warning
Happy Holidays TFC! We appreciate the uploads on the break!
These are exactly the pilots you want flying your plane when confronted with impending disaster. It was refreshing to see such excellent pilots maneuver through this crisis successfully after watching so many who were not up to the task. Beautifully executed!
Like the BA crew that flew through the volcano, which choked up all 4 of the 747s engines to a stop, kept all those people alive, and they could barely see out the media blasted windscreen come landing time !!
This was so close to when I was born ;-;
The Flight Channel I have no idea how you can do this great job
I love these videos tho
Btw merry Christmas to all ;D
Another superb video. There’s a lot of subliminal content that really makes it all so good. One thing, IMO, is the consistency and simplicity of the introductory information presented. Another thing is the absence of any spoken commentary; our own imaginations and calculations are allowed to run riot. Next, the pace of the information keeps us on the edge of our seats but gives us time to work stuff out and anticipate, hopefully, the pilots’ decisions.
Like one commenter said, “I didn’t realise I had stopped breathing until they landed safely. “What was that engine going to do next?”
Whew!
So well done sir!
Agree 100% , especially the no narration . Reading it kind of puts us on the plane and every one reading will also experience their very own rollercoaster .
I mean, I disagree, I think narration would add to it if done correctly, but it is very well presented. I especially like the way the ECAM messages are presented
I guess, for me at least, getting all the INPUTS from the “plane” and the text seems to mimic ACTUALLY being in that cockpit and having to DECIDE, promptly, what ACTIONS are needed.
Whereas, a narration, I feel, would tend to simulate a more passive sense of interaction.
Having said that it would be great to experiment and see how it works.
@@Musikur He tried narration , it was horrible , even he knew it and stopped it after subscribers complained . There's a reason this channel has grown and lack of narration is one of them. There are plenty of channels who do narration , so you can go there.
Your channel is my favorite! Happy whatever end-of-year holidays you observe, and I know I speak for all of us when I say we look forward to another year of your amazing videos.
TheFlightChannel Thank you for showing us all the content uploaded on your channel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
-Love from Singapore
Great job by the pilots, mix this failure with a less competent crew and the result could have been so much worse.
superb video as always...thankfully, this time, the crew was above standard!
Australian pilots are some of the best trained in the world.

Engine: YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOUR NOT MY REAL DAD *Goes fast*
H.A.L.: Dave, I cannot do that Dave.

What happens with the passengers in stories like this -- what are they told, and when? If it is known, perhaps that could be added to the videos.
Thanks again for this outstanding video. We must be more aware of everything and double check. Have a blessed and safe Thursday. Shalom

Thanks for another great video TheFlightChannel 👍👍
BRO You missed "Everyone Survived :)" :/
It seems like there is a steady, constant disregard for standard procedure all the time, somewhere in the world, in the airline industry. Whether it's laying new fuel infrastructure here in Juanda, or pilots being too tired and chatty like in Buffalo, NY. It's just a matter of whether or not that lack of procedure leads to disaster. I know what they say, "it's the safest way to travel", but this channel has made fear flying.
The opposite is true.
Merry Christmas to all ! very nice video to see and both pilot done good job !!!
Nice work on these!
If that airplane was Ryanair, maybe landing gear will collapse....
The A330 is a butter bird though

9:16 EGPWS - Too low Terrain....
10:10 Again EGPWS - Too low Terrain, Pull up !!!!
Meanwhile Pilot - What the f**k !!! Are you kidding me ?? We are landing on Airport.
It's because the flight computer can't tell that the pilot's are trying to land cause the plane is way over the normal approach speed for landing. It's going 100 knots faster than normal
uhmm, sorry but i just cant laugh since i know too much about the airplanes to understand thats not how GPWS works...
(long story short) it's basically a computer that's made out of humans with a algorithm. It's supposed to at certain speed along side information from the pitot tubes and the sensor trying to know how the situation is. Hard to explain. But it can sort of tell if the airplane is in a certain situation where pull up is needed to prevent the current situation. The computer noticed that the airplane was exceeding the speed limit at a low altitude. It probably thought it would crash into the ocean as the pilots due to the hgih speed had to push down on the yokes a little bit to get down. That made the computer think for a few seconds that it was gonna crash. Which explains "pull up" when at 170 ft.
Also, since the airplane wasnt on a ILS landing it probably didnt know it was really landing.. and also that's why it didnt say "glide slope" or "zink rate" and istead said "too low terrain" because when on ILS its basically connected to the runway ILS guide which guides the auto pilot down...
As soon as you said spherical particles, I knew exactly what went wrong.
For anyone that is interested, the fuel line was close to salt water during their construction and was contaminated when salt water entered the fuel supply. The plane was fueled by a pump that was pulling from this supply. The filter in that pump was compromised by the salt and it released an absorbent from the filter into the fuel lines of the plane.
Another great job, Merry Christmas.
Flight crew are hero's to put that back on the ground in one piece.
indonesian airport is bad. ive watched the nat geo. the issue is the fuel is contaminated with salt from nearby sea due to the contruction. they didnt follow sop
Sir you always create great videos for aviation lover's ,once again thank you
Merry Christmas everyone! Another great video!
1st Christmas cheer as everyone was safe! Merry Christmas everyone.
I use this airline to fly to HK a lot. Had me on edge there for a while, like so many of your other videos.
Great job again.
Thanks TFC 🙌🏻
merry christmas THEFLIGHTCHANNEL
Great video - really enjoyed it. Hats off to the pilots for their amazing cool control of the situation. This could have been a disaster.
Like the Taiwanese ATR that had an engine failure after takeoff, and they proceeded to switch off the GOOD engine !!

I watched with bated breath. So glad that they managed to land safely. Nothing like a good "everybody survived" when watching such a video on Christmas Eve.
Terrific video, pleased no one was hurt. The pilots did a marvellous job!
Another solid video. Have a couple suggestions for future videos. The Uberlingen Mid-Air Collision (Not sure of the year), and The Engine loss/Save of STS-51F (Challenger Space Shuttle loses and engine). Keep up the great work!!!
