That's an awful way to die... I wish the best to all the victims' families

I personally think the creepiest part is that this happened in 1996. Shit sounds like something that would happen in the 1960's/'70s when the 747 was brand new

A headless plane is literally the scariest thing ever

The fact that the plane had enough power to keep going even with the vacuum pressure it was dealing with after the front rips off blows my mind. And Rip to all the souls

In the book "A higher call" the author, Adam Macos, writes about it and that he nearly was on that plane. The flight number was TWA 800.

Imagine being in the back for a few seconds after front fell off

Fun fact: the 737 that he mentioned was the same exact 737 that was involved in the incident of Eastwind airlines flight 517, the only difference was the callsign, which was Eastwind airlines flight 507

The thing is there was another crash called TWA 800 in 1964. They decided not to retire the number and keep using it until another crash happened....

What makes this even sadder is there was a group of high school students on this flight going on a field trip to France.

That would have been absolutely terrifying for those people. It’s like your 2 biggest fears. Dying in a plane crash and dying in a fire… simultaneously.

Fun fact: my dad used to have a hanger in Calverton, Long Island, and the US government took it during the investigation and pieced the aircraft back together there. Pretty cool, huh?

The plane breaking up would have caused such a sudden deceleration that most if not all passengers on board would have been dead in an instant.

In my opinion one of the most terrifying crashes ever

An absolute tragedy. Let’s hope the souls onboard didn’t have much time to process the panic and the pain. RIP

Now I know how the movie final destination was made

I thought the two crashed 747 planes was the 3rd deadliest because more than 400 deaths

Just imagine your having a normal flight then all of a sudden your whole plane begins to have major turbulence and thuds, your whole cockpit view than transitions to spinning in circles realizing you just detached from your whole plane. Its a pretty terrifying moment the pilots had before impact on the ocean.

Imagine seeing a headless plane in the sky

Wow, what a tragedy. RIP to all the passengers.

RIP to everyone who died on board and my condolences to the families of the people on the plane🙏

The initial explosion was so powerful it snapped the necks of all but 19 passengers. They were the lucky ones who didn’t have to experience 2 fireballs in the cabin and getting sucked out of the plane.

The last video you watch before getting on a plane...

I remember this. Flight 800. My uncle was fishing out on the bay and saw it explode. He said, as well as many others, that something flew over head a moment before the explosion. Leading many to believe it was shot down.

It happened because an air hostess failed to recognise one of the passengers. This resulted in a delay and since the air conditioning unit is placed below of the fuel tanks they managed to evaporate the fuel. Then a spark managed to blow up the plane

TWA Flight 800... One of the most infamous crashes in aviation history, second only to 9/11. The name alone still sends chills down the spine. Despite paying no attention to the news at the time (I was nine), even I remember hearing about it a lot. It took many years for them to figure out what happened and theories abounded in the meantime.

RIP to the TWA800. My condolences to all of the passenger's/crew's families

Tragic. Deepest condolences to the victims’ families

It took around 10 years to fully investigate this crash

I can barely imaging how scared the people must have felt on that flight.

Please cover the crash of National Airlines flight 102. Love your content btw!

Fun fact:They actually used footage of the crash for the horror movie movie final destination 1

Day 4 of asking for Spain air 5022

Not many people talk abt TWA 800 and its nice to see someone who actually talks about it in 2023

For those who don’t know,this is the infamous flight 800

This flight haunts me: a young EMT’s sister was a on her first international flight as a flight attendant. He was a really good guy, and he quietly quit and moved away. Part of the group of French students were on one of my tours on Liberty Island. I cried for them all, because most of us interacted with that school group. I can only hope it was quick.

lets pray for all TWA passanger rest in peace😔😔😔 EDIT:thank you guys for 105 likes and rest in piece twa 800 you are queen of the sky

They also had a segment in the first Final Destination movie which took place on TWA flight 800.

RIP may those souls be in a good place after this tragedy and i wish well for the families of them.

TWA 800 may all rest in peace😔

TWA 800’s calling was ‘lifeguard’ because it was carrying an organ for transplant. Unfortunately, it did not make it. Edit: It was carrying a cornea

What is very interesting about this plane crash is that the main conflict in Final Destination is inspired by this flight, as it also took off from John F Kennedy airport and was on its way to France, and had the same mechanical issue.

bro actually saved enough for headless thats crazy

A small circuit costs many many lives. Size doesn't matter is sometimes tragic RIP

Could you do Korean Air Flight 007? It looks like a good topic to talk about.

I remember this very specifically. I was 16 years old at the time. My friends and I were hanging out in the beach after hours when a few of us noticed a flash in the sky, followed several minutes later by a distant orange glow to the east. We wouldn’t find out until the next day that we witnessed the crash of TWA 800. The orange glow was the remaining fuel burning on the surface of the ocean. Luckily for recovery teams the following days were very calm as far as wind and wave action goes. Crazy thing was the first final destination move was scheduled to be released a few weeks after this event. If you haven’t seen it a flight with students on it headed for France explodes shortly after takeoff from JFK. The movie was eventually released some four or five years later.

Imagine just chilling in a plane watching a movie or smth and just seeing the front fall of

"god bless him" - other pilots

"which story do you like me to cover next" - give us some time to process this maybe?

Imagine you're just 3-11 yrs old, and you survive on a plane but your parents don't. How traumatising.

My uncle was on this flight as one of the flight attendants and the last time I talked to him was before he left in flight 800

You know if the plane cockpit is detached and still flying for 10 seconds uncontrolable before plunging into the sea Just pray 🥺 🙏 And hope you will rest comfortable on the clouds

Can you cover Air France 447?

It's terrifying to think that this wasn't that long ago. My dad could have been on this flight. My older sister was born that year, part of my family could have been on this flight and the rest wouldn't have even been born. Crazy

If you want to watch the plane crash animation it is TWA flight 800

ive heard about this many times, its sad to think about because of the passengers that died during this. i wish the best to every victim’s families. 🙏

Everybody on the ground reported seeing a missile fired from the ground. This was the end of TWA.

Even more scary… you could see the seats of the dead passengers in the first clips

Imagine you hear an explosion and then you see fire coming to the place your seated in you would probably die in seconds and you would be burnt

Rip to the people on That PWA

My ex wife's cousin was a pilot with TWA at that time. He and I had a lengthy conversation about this crash. He had flown that plane many times. It was one of the first 747s made by Boeing. We talked about fuel etc. Jet fuel is basically kerosene. Think of a kerosene lamp the flame is right above the fuel. It never explodes. One other point he made was that TWA employees couldn't get within 3 blocks of the warehouse where the wreckage was reassembled. Word at TWA that a missile shotdown the plane.

Wow you are very smart guy knowing a lot and also rip to the people who died in these crashes

This guy is going to make me travel anxious 😂

The air Force C5 Galaxy I crewed, had a nitrogen system that filled the empty space in the fuel system (called eulage) and made it impossible to start a fire in the tanks. It also extinguished fires in other areas.

It’s largely believed that it may have been intentionally or accidentally shot down by a navy ship. I don’t remember all the details, but it’s pretty convincing if you look into it

RIP, to all the souls on the plane. I hope the familes are doing a better.

They tried to blame that accident on the ground crew in Athens, saying the plane wasn't "checked" properly....it's route was from jfk-paris-athens and repeat

Front cockpit: I'm outta here meanwhile, the rest of the body:it's a scratch

" and the caption of the 737" Isn't he flying 747

Fatalities: 230 Survivors: 0

That was truly a Final Destination accident 😢

“A explosion so powerful that it split the 747 in half” i think you need glasses💀

Rip 747 a beautiful time😭

If I remember correctly, what also contributed to the short circuits was the fact the plane was on the tarmac with the engines running for a long time because of a delay and it was a very hot day in Atlantic US..

This accident inspired the film Final Destination. A high school French class is going on a trip to Paris, but the airplane exploded after takeoff. Man, a single spark ignited the center wing fuel tank as it was overheated because the air conditioner was on for hours before takeoff. Just imagining what was going through the passengers' minds after the explosion, knowing their imminent fate, makes my skin shiver.

That had to have been terrifying just going up missing the front of the plane and then flipping

My great grandfather was Captain Howard Thomas Mann who worked for TWA and was the crash flight investigator for this flight (TWA flight 800) and was also a retired pilot and engineer. He was hushed by the FBI at his home in Long Island. Sadly he is no longer with us but he knew the truth of what happened. It was in fact an outside impact explosion likely being a ballistics missile.

the cockpit wal like : nah bro, we need to have a shower

I remember this when I was only 11 in 1996. When you’re that young things are even more tragic to you for some reason 😢

Rip to all the people who died on boarding my condolences to the people on the plane , I wish all the best to the victim’s family 😢🕊

I love the 747 to death, it is my favorite aircraft. It is my dream aircraft to fly. To see it in this fashion makes me really sad. Rest in peace to the crew and passengers aboard this flight ❤.

Please do this. The Tenerife Airport Disaster occurred on March 27, 1977, when two Boeing 747 passenger jets collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport) on the Spanish island of Tenerife. The collision occurred when KLM Flight 4805 initiated its takeoff run while Pan Am Flight 1736 was still on the runway. The impact and resulting fire killed everyone on board KLM 4805 and most of the occupants of Pan Am 1736, with only 61 survivors in the front section of the aircraft. With 583 fatalities, the disaster is the deadliest plane incident ever

They had that *Columbia* experience

Imagine waking up in the morning to read plane crashes for money ……..

First

When your in the back of the plane and realise your now the captain as the front part has been ripped off

That plane got shot down by accident during a military exercise

The French club on flight 800 that inspired the first Final Destination movie, was from a town only about an hour from my home town. It was such a huge deal locally. Several of the teachers at my high-school knew the teachers on board.

Man has been telling so many stories of air travel accidents that I’m pretty sure he scared someone into never flying again or at all

This was the infamous CIA cartoon trying to tell people including experienced pilots, Air Force vets that they didn’t see a missile hit this plane.

Fun fact: There were to other planets crashes before this that also had the call sign “TWA 800”. TWA simply refused to stop using the call sign

We all know the deadliest crash…

Thanks to your channel, im never flying again

Another reason to go flying wearing a suit - a WINGSUIT!

This incident was based off of the 2000 movie "Final Destination"

Praying for the Victims and I hope that this never happens to anyone else again🙏❤️

Its so heartbreaking when something like this happens and its not even their fault.. Also I'd like you to do a quick short of flight 102

Man the first frame of that plane I identified it. There's a pretty big conspiracy that the plane was accidently shot down by the military. You don't hear it much online but the locals talk about it.

Flight 800, I remember that as a kid, some sad stuff.

This Is insane. I was 6 years old and we missed this Flight for Just like 15/20 minutes and my mom was like yelling at me why did It take you so Long to get ready. Then when She Heard what happened and She started huging me and thanking me for being late. Man i'm Always late for everything. But this One time saved our Lives. We were going to Paris for One month and then to Rome in Italy to visit family. Also the Flight we took to paris caught Fire but It was a very small Fire on board, i Remember seeing the Fire.. I still Remember this story. I got hit by a motorcycle two days ago and i'm in bed with a broken leg and It happened in a split second. But i Will recover, i'm Just here wondering how strange Destiny is.. Rip: to everyone that Lost their Life in this tragic Flight and condolences to those that Lost a loved one, sorry for your loss.

May they rest in peace😢
