Thank you Jaun for showing respect to the woman who tragically passed away on this flight.

Just read entire com, CVR. She did an amazing job not fully realizing what was wrong until on the ground. Thank God she (and FO) had the experience to make good decisions, despite scrapping checklists. To much going on. We all learn it early on -- Fly the Airplane, Fly the Airplane, Fly the Airplane. If necessary, fly it all the way through the crash sequence.

If you ever decide to hang up the wings, I'll bet the NTSB would love to get someone such as you on staff Juan. A 'hobby' becomes work type of thing. Hmmm Excellent, fact filled report here. Thanks 👍👍

Excellent explanation from an experienced and knowledgeable pilot.

Thank you Juan for this clear and easily understandable summary of the extremely detailed and technical NTSB investigation report. I'm continually amazed at how much the NTSB can "reverse engineer" a disaster. When you said that they found that the blade failed at the 6 o'clock position, I was blown away. Anyway, thanks again for your no-nonsense reporting!

Hi Juan, I’m a licensed engineer with an Australian airline. We’ve been carrying out fan blade re-lubes for a long time. It started in the 80’s on CF6 type engines on A300B4 aircraft in an attempt to alleviate odd N1 vibrations that intermittently plagued these engines. Very often, these inspections are carried out during overnight service where time to complete the job is an obvious factor. There is a lot of work to do. The blades can be removed in about 30 to 45 minutes. However, after removal they must be cleaned and inspected before re-lubing can be done. This is what takes all the time. It takes 10 minutes to wash each blade in denatured alcohol plus another 5 minutes to inspect. That’s 240 minutes plus 120 minutes. In addition, the fan disk must also be washed and inspected. When all is satisfactory, we re-lube the dovetails and the fan disk with two coats of spray molybdenum disulphide lubricant and wait for it to dry. It’s very easy to see how this simple procedure can quickly become a ‘rush job’ with the fan being reassembled almost as they’re waiting to tow the aircraft back on line. The tendency is to rush parts of the job: cleaning is not carried out properly making inspection more difficult. In short, it is easy to see how cracks that are potentially visible to the naked eye can be missed.

She was the right captain to have on that flight at that time. Her experience as a Naval fighter pilot was a great asset to have in this situation. If you go to the Flight Channel and search for SWA 1380 you will see a flight simulation of what happened and hear the radio transmission. Condolences to the family of the passenger that died.

Good job by the crew. They flew the jet, no panic.

Wow, what an amazing report Juan. This is one of your best ever. By the way if by chance you can't pass your medical, I'm damned sure that AIM would hire you as a curriculum advisor immediately. You are really good at this. What surprised me about this whole thing was that the stewardi, gave up their jump seats, the wing lost hydraulics, and the captain focused on keeping control. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. All of these people are heroes! As a physics nut, and an aviation enthusiast and former controller, with a son in pilot training, thank you sir! I love these subjects, and you do a great job at it! Take care!

Juan, your best one yet. Kudos to this fine crew again, the flaps 5 call and speed was a great call on their part. Max brakes will stop a 700 at 180 knots in Philly no problem. Professionals in the cockpit, and Juan to communicate clearly just why that matters. Great video!

Another very informative video! Great job!. I am an AMT and have performed that blade lube on the CFM several times, although it has been years since the last lube I've been involved with. The process was done by removing all fan blades, laying them out on a large workbench, removing the old lube with alcohol, reapplying three coats of Dri-Moly lube from a spray can. Lube was applied to the dovetail of each blade, the spacer, and retainer. The blades then are reinstalled back into the engine in the same order as removed. An engine run is performed to check vibration before the next flight. This work was done on a routine "B" check overnight, one engine at a time. A visual inspection was accomplished but no NDT was involved.

Heartfelt video, especially near the end -- our condolences to Jennifer Riordan's family. Kudos to the crew for doing all they could to land safely. Thx for the detailed explanation, Juan. Take good care!

The level of detail in your videos continues to impress me. Also I keep learning how amazing the flight crew is on your average airliner. And, the unsung heroes are the cabin crew. Excellent video!

“…speed is life.” Excellent.

Love it Juan. Great information. As the former ALPA Air Safety Chairman for my airline, you should wind up at the NTSB or start your own consulting company. I know John Cox from USAirways did this.

Thank you for the link to the transcript. Quite a moment when the Captain mutters, ''Heavenly Father.' The crew deserves praise for a job very well done!

Lubricant is very thick grey lubricant of graphite grease so once they are removed they have to be stored in a specific sequence so that once they are reinstalled and run they will meet the vibration limits. This paste prior to inspecting the blades have to be thoroughly cleaned, then inspected then lubed again and installed lots of work.

Another "home run" Mr Juan!! You keep knocking them out of the park one after another!! Always learning tons of cool aviation stuff from your great videos!! Muchas gracias!!

Thanks again Juan for your fine reports like this. So much more than what I can find elsewhere.

As a product designer, I'm stunned at the image of people with the mask only over their mouth and not their nose. Note to the designers of these systems: All you have to do is add a small nose-shaped indentation in the rim of the cup and that will automatically tell people to cover their nose. Yes, you'll have to redesign the mould. Yes, the mould will be slightly more expensive. Yes, people WILL use the oxygen mask correctly as a result.

GREAT Video! Lots of interesting detail. Fabulous job as always Juan.

Great to have honest reporting, that in itself carries a great respect, keep it up and have a Merry Christmas.

Easily one of your best videos. Thank you! This video pushed me over the patreon cliff. See you there.

Juan, thanks for taking a complex topic of great importance and explaining it in clear, understandable terms. The graphics also help to see where the parts are located and to see the damage after knowing where everything fits together. Great job as always. Thanks!! - Dean from Minnesota

Thanks, Juan. I always appreciate your thoroughness and how you make it easy to understand.

Much respect to the crew!!!!! Thank you for all your training !

Thank You Juan for such a detailed and professional explanation. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

I listened to this vlog first, watched it second. Excellent work Juan. Thank you.

Nice touch at the end. Very respectful.

You my friend, are a class act! No BS, straight to the point reporting as usual. Many thanks Juan for your contribution to this industry.

Excellent video Juan!! Thank you for your research and preparation to present this video. Great work!

As usual, you add to my list of skills to help keep myself calm during an emergency and trust the flight professionals, fore and aft, to do whatever can be done to get us all on the ground safely. You are still contributing a lot to the industry, even during your furlow. Thanks.

Maestro, your videos are like a symphony of tecnical details and logic. Bravo.

Excellent report Juan. You have a great talent for analyzing these events and relaying the facts to those of us who know nothing about the mechanics of jet engines, but are willing to listen.

Another well thought out explanation of the events, thank you for your hard work Juan. RIP Jennifer Riordan, bless her Family

Thank you, Juan for this update. Condolences to the family of Jennifer Riordan.

Congrats on such a fabulous upday Juan...so much information presented so a layman can understand. Thanks for that. So sad this woman lost her life...RIP

excellent thorough review Juan. Thank you for your time and diligence in reporting

Thanks Juan for the excellent report on the NTSB report. It's great info and from a commercial pilot's perspective.

Thanks Juan for the great explanation and expert insights into a complex and difficult accident. I appreciate the way you make this information accessible to those of us who aren’t professional airline aviators.

I learned so much from your report. Thank you for the context you provided and carefully described for each of the multiple and simultaneous emergencies. I can only react with enormous respect for the crew, the engineers and crafts persons who design and manufacture the parts, and having your level head, practical experience and voice that broadens our view and understanding.

You do an excellent job of explaining everything, thank you.

Thank you for another amazing report. Main stream media just can’t dedicate such time to an amazing report. Nor would they find it news worthy. But you do and that’s why we appreciate the time you put into sharing and educating all of us....

Thanks Juan, for making the complicated a little easier to understand.

An excellent, informative, and respectful analysis of this tragic event. It's truly a pleasure, even in these circumstances, to be able to listen to a consummate professional go through this analysis, thanks Juan.

Very well done Juan... and it's good to be reminded of the professionalism of all our pilots, especially USN & USAF (I'm watching this on a challenging day -12/6/19)

Extraordinary report! It is amazing how much one learns. And the emotional tribute to the crew and to the unfortunate passenger. Congratulations Juan.

Awesome report and informative context! Thank you, Juan...

Juan, Thank you so much for that video! Your explanations and attention to details were excellent. I appreciate your thoroughness, knowledge, and professionalism in these matters. God bless Paul (in MA)

I worked for SWA from 1983 until 2009 and everyday I wish I was still there.

Wow, Juan you have such a passion for this industry and we are all safer for it! Thank you!

I was totally captivated by your explanation of the NTSB findings. An excellent tutorial. I hold an A&P certificate.

Again just an excellent explanation of a very involved issue. You just amaze me with your ability to explain very technical issues in a manner most every one can understand. Keep up the good work. Thanks

Juan, this is a great presentation. Thank you, brother.

Excellent overview of the entire incident keep up the good work and thank you for your insite.

When the fan hits the stuff

Thanks Juan, we’ve all heard the ATC communication aboard this flight and saw the aftermath of the destruction. Today I have a much better understanding of the horror in the cockpit. The crew did a great job, considering the totality of the failures and the lack of time to comprehend them. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, Juan. Your experience, knowledge, and dedication in all the work you put into this channel are a great service to aviation. You dig in and explain so that we may try to follow and understand. With deep appreciation from a pilot with a shortened career, who follows your schedules and inquiries, /romain (Continental Airline, 1966-1981, Captain and Check Airman, 1977-1981; Sr. Pilot, USAF, SD and Cal.ANG, 1957-1971)

When the defecation hits the rotating oscillator....you want a Naval Aviator or Air Force Pilot in the pointy end!

Once again Warren your Report is Qualified and concise . Thank you so much .

Great explanation of the NTSB findings Juan. The crew did a great job given the multiple problems that they were faced with they got the plane down quickly and choosing a fast landing rather than extending unknown stuff into the wind on an aircraft that was displaying wonky handling was a good call given the long runway. Anyway, thanks Juan for the as always detailed briefing from a pilot's point of view, way more informative than a reporter with no airline knowledge.

As always, thank you for your clear, concise, no nonsense explanations. We appreciate the effort you obviously put into these reports and the respect for the victims. We’re praying for your return to excellent health!

Juan a superb report. Fascinating and as always with detailed explanations given by someone with pertinent expertise on the subject. Well done.

Thanks again Juan for an informative report.

Great explanation Juan. It is amazing what we know compared to what there is yet to learn. Sometimes tragically.

Excellent and thorough analysis and explanation of the events and data. Thank you.

Thank you Juan for your passion and tribute to Jennifer, who lost her life. It's easy to "just do your job". I know my friends and relatives who pilot are like you. Airline pilots are still a breed apart for the most part and I am thankful every time I fly.

Thank you Juan! I greatly appreciate your thorough explanations!

Juan, I'm not a pilot nor am I involved in air travel. I just wanted to say your presentation is so spot-on that I enjoy listing to you. You are a treasure! YT should feature you and your presentations as an example of how to correctly deliver content.

Juan your an awesome pilot... And a great educator... thanks for giving us the straight scoop... I fly alot on both 737 NG and Airbus 319 to 321 series as well as a few SD80 and MD80 and B717aircraft. Also regularly... fly on board Embraer 175 and CRJ thanks for the information... and the respect for the woman that was hurt... you are the best thing on youtube for all what you do

Thanks for the in-depth explanation of this event. It was a lot more complicated than I had realized. My compliments and admiration to the flight crew, in their handling of the situation. Makes me, worried about future flights with the pilot shortages and the low time aircrew coming on line. I am afraid that not only inexperienced, but they don't fully understand what they are doing.

I always know I can get the straight scoop on any aircraft incident here. Thanks Juan.

Thanks for sharing again. You are truly amazing with your explanations. Great respect for your talents. ❤️👍👍

Outstanding video sir and much respect ! Stay safe sir.

I have zero aviation experience yet I find your explanations so easy to understand. I pray that every commercial pilot I fly with has the depth of caring and knowledge that you have Juan! You are doing a fantastic job and I think you should be considered for a NTSB chairperson!

Excellent Report Juan ! ..............Thank You

Another informative and fascinating account of a very serious aircraft incident. Thanks Juan.

The amount of research, testing and resulting complexity of airliners never cease to amaze. It's sad that these masterpieces of engineering are often taken for granted. I'm really impressed by your to-the-point delivery and content quality. Even if your clips were 1 hour long, they'd seem too short.

Super explanation! Thanks Juan!

Thank you for the excellent analysis.

Outstanding Juan.

A detailed report that even a layman can understand. Good work, Juan.

Thank you Juan, well done.

Super run down of this event Juan, very detailed.

Brilliant explanation, so well explained. Juan, if you ever get the time to write, a book from you would be a 'must have'. There would be a lesson in it for everyone.

LOL "Stuff hits the fan"... literally I see what you did there. Great video Juan, as usual !!

Flight crew earned their corn that day and some. Great report as always JB.

Another brilliant presentation.👍🏻

Well done Juan. Thank you again.

Great reporting Juan !!!!

Great report with kindness and respect for all. Those passengers won the lotto with that Captain and Copilot.

wow very detailed description of events , thank you AS an A&P in training I will study harder to get it right the first time.

I continue to enjoy your factual, in depth, low-fluff style of reporting.

Thanks Juan for being a straight up class act.

Your thorough and yet,concise , explanations that methodically describe a situation makes even the least informed observer fully understand the event and consequences. When you mentioned the loss of seating, I immediately thought of my son in law’s S U V which has extra seats in the rear that fold up from the floor fully equipped with seat harnesses. I’ imagining this setup in the aisle of a jetliner.when folded away they are invisible and are part of the floor. Cheers from an aviation Tragic who has had far too little flying experiences to talk about. 👍😷😷😷🇦🇺🇺🇸

I bet Juan has got an emergency checklist on the fridge door for getting the kids to the school bus on a snowy morning.

Great work Juan.

Mr. Brown is like an honorary NTSB communicator. Love the content!

Amazing video great source of information for active crew members thank!!!

Your rock! Thank you for sharing.....your insight is spot on.
