williamthethespian can or could you imagine landing a 747 with only two engines. Kuddos to the crew !! Well done. Also dealing with a decompression, the ability to bring the craft safely to airport.

All in 14 mins !

Why? Is it impossible to land the queen of the sky with just 2 engines?

@@pK-zb4dk No, and it's something that you train for. However, it can be a handful.

And a surviving passenger said it was one of the smoothest landings he'd ever been in! They were expecting a rough landing after the explosion, but it ended up like butter.

do you mean a true LEGEND OF AVIATION?

⁠Exactly!!! Mentioning no names..😊

Lol because he's white?

@@Blast6926 Your as funny as gastro enteritis. LOL??

@@sonjadidyk-tn4cc Obviously. The pilot and crew did very well irrespective of gender or LGBTQ identities. The comment was well meant. You and I might have phrased it differently but don't be so nitpicky.

During that time I did a lot of travel to Asia from the US and it was believed that the United Air Lines flight crews were the best in the industry.

Emergency procedures are hammered in from the first time pilots fly a plane, all through training, and periodic training through their companies. It becomes second nature, and when the poo hits the fan, the training kicks in and takes over, as does your need to preserve your life, as well as any people behind you. Pilots all know they are likely making life or death decisions, and that if they don't remain calm and collected, they can easily make mistakes and worsen the situation. When your are properly prepared for these things, you would be surprised how easily they come

This is why you want a male pilot. Testosterone gives men tunnel vision allowing them to focus on tasks under extremely stressful situations.

The pilots are trained to stay calm in situations like these. It allows them to focus and stay alert. The same is done in many other career fields.

​@@Lara__Croftactually you can train females to also assess the situation and stay calm, it just takes training. For example if you were to stick a random male in there who has no flight experience, they would probably panic as well.

There was a documentary about this on NZ tv some years ago. The father was a mechanical engineer and he did his own research and fought real hard to get the manufacturer to accept the real cause of that door failure.

how could they know that? and what if he got caught on something in the engine and screamed in terror until he broke loose?

He hit the engine at 750kmh @@godoftheinterwebz

I agree 100% 👍

and dont forget " no narration " ... love that part. this is a superb channel.

I know nothing about aviation but my late partner gained his pilots licence quite late in life . There is so much you have to learn so I appreciate everything a pilot does.. I love this channel and the music is so haunting .. regards!!

Me, too. No experience or much interest in aviation, but this channel is engrossing.

Naa... the narration doesn't make sense, sorry. better watch channels done by actual pilots. Plenty of those around.

Ahh it's working. Why fix something that isn't broken lol

"There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix that works."

you know that how?

@@K1OIK because a crack big enough to rip off the entire tail end of the plane would be pretty easy to spot

@@enochianwolf tell me about your experience with your x-ray eyes.

So did McDonnell Douglas. Cargo doors on jumbo jets gave many manufacturers fits for a long time.

Well, the repair was....Made In China!!

🤣@@MrMajikman1

Complete and utter lack of care. People have been programmed to beLIEve that money is valuable when it is only a means of monetization, or control, for a period of time, which it represents. The greed factor is great among many and when you do the math it is actually even more telling of evil at its roots. If a 747 cost $100 million let's say (back in the nineties when the plane was originally purchased) but carried an average of 300 passengers per flight and accumulated 20,000 flights with an average ticket price of $500 per leg that would be $3 billion in revenue. Let's say that operating costs were half of that the airline still earned $1.5 billion over that one plane's life cycle prior to the catastrophic incident. That's just 1 plane. Makes you wonder how much money these people need to make them feel OK before they depart for hell. Can't take it with ya! Had to just finish the totality of the overall concept that doing the repair properly may have cost $500,000 but that would have eaten into the $1.5 billion profit wayyyyyy too much, right? A $50,000 repair makes wayyyyyy more sense when you need that extra $450,000 for your new bathroom on your 3rd yacht (to make you feel OK of course before you go to hell for an eternity).

I try to use "defenestration" as much as I can get away with using it.

Did you mean for your comment to be pernicious?

I thought the same thing I haven't heard one pilot get nervous, I would scream.If you remember the pilot whose plane in n y sucked in Canadian geese,all said in a clam matter I'm Gona land on the Hudson,the controller said what,another pilot said he's landing on the Hudson!.So professional!

China Airlines is actually a Taiwanese airlines. Taiwan's official name is "Republic of China" and has had very cozy relation with US

(Republic of china is taiwan)

@@dk0767 Thankyou, I did not know that!

I would have expected the _insurers_ to have insisted on independent review of the quality of the repair. I'll bet Orient Airways (or whatever they are called) were really glad this didn't happen a week later; and started reviewing whether it is a good idea to buy 22 year old planes with a history of structural damage.

You're a sweet guy.

And?

He's remastering the old content

The first one with the cargo door is reupload as well.

Yeah they both are

this channel becomes a deja vu! Re-upload content

I have a bad memory so it was like seeing it for the first time! lol

It’s basically the original UA811 video but remastered with the newer text formatting. He’s been doing this for a while. Same with CI611.

reupload

How many people perish you didn’t say

only 1 (the pilot)@@mariejohnson9665

He's remastering the older content in higher quality

@@sbj97 I'm not sure that you quite understand what's involved in remastering.

@@hughbiggins4339 So are you gonna bitch and moan about reuploads all day?

Reposted.

That’s precisely what he means here; “penultimate” was the exact word used in the wiki description of Capt. Cronin and Flight 811. So close to retirement, and then this happens. Fortunately, he landed the plane and saved most of the passengers, survived and lived himself to 81, interesting coincidence there. (RIP to those who perished, though.)

Ohh that's a good question. There needs to be something like Carfax for planes.

No they are not. Source: I’m an AMT ( aircraft maintenance technician).

PLEASE dont go to work when you are pissed off and upset, JUST SAYING!@@paulu7751

All official records in the form of Major Repairs or Alterations, registrations, etc, that are recorded with the FAA are public records. Actual maintenance logs maintained by the operators are their property, so seeing those would require a court order if they refused. They would be full of gobbledy-gook you would never understand. Aviation terminology is almost a dialect of its own. Just one example would be the term "stall." Everybody thinks that means the engine quit. NO. It basically means the wing got too slow to keep flying and experienced aerodynamic stall.

​@@paulu7751 We're mechanics, Dude. That's what my FAA license calls me. Doesn't matter what we call ourselves to make ourselves feel better- Machinists, Technicians, Engineers, Gods... ...when the suits and skirts who make all the rules see us getting our hands and noses dirty, we are grease monkeys to them and nothing will ever change that. It won't get us any more respect or pay. Occupational titles really mean nothing to them. Be proud within yourself at your distinct skills. I am. 42 years. Mechanic- Airframe, Powerplant. Inspection Authorization. Private Pilot SEL. Commercial Pilot SEL.

They are often unseen and there is a way to X-ray unseen damage to metal parts

YES really it seems like we are the only ones that care .....

Yeah man I literally learned so much about aviation and incidents through this channel while it was growing but now it literally feels bad that all new videos are just re uploads

Learn to appreciate guys

Agree, unsubscribing.

bruh theyve done literally every air disaster cant do any more unless they make fictional videos but then youd REEEE about that too, cant win with some people

They dodged a bullet by a day....

Gang gang

Nah bro im here 17 mins later lol

It has. I thought it looked familiar.

Both of them have.@@KevboKev

Both of them have.

Many times as well

At the altitude that they were, not likely.

I certainly hope not. Regarding United 811, some speculate that at least one ejected passenger went in the engine.

Test it out for yourself

They would be, it takes time to go unconscious and by FL200 you would be conscious anyway. The Campbells mentioned they were relieved their Son went into the engine rather then endure the entire fall.

Low oxygen and super freezing at that alltitude

the tail was floating behind the plane as both parts were at their maximum gforce accelleration rate in free fall

I think the giant, gaping hole in the plane would take up most of their attention. Maybe hearing the voice of the captain being so calm would calm them down a bit, but I don't know. I've never flown in a plane that had a big, gaping hole.

WTF are vids?

What about the China Air flight? Didn't it fall apart mid-air?

Maybe "break up" wasn't the best wording. Maybe "broke apart."

Thank you, my thoughts entirely!

@@lunayoshi: Even "broke apart" is too much of an exaggeration.

For the passengers murdered by BOEING, it may as well have been a break up. Go ask them.

Yeah, and the fact that the family(s) had to put up such a fight to get it corrected is infuriating.

You are living proof of the old adage, some people will complain about anything.

@@jimdavis6833 or maybe i just worked in the business of presenting ideas.

I was just thinking I'd seen this previously but thought it was a couple of years ago. So maybe what you saw was a reupload? Either that or I saw it on another channel.
