What are the most outrageous things you could accuse a pilot or even an airline of doing? Whatever you choose, I can almost guarantee that it will appear in this story at some point. It is a horrifying account of how every possible safety barrier can be breached if training, CRM, maintenance and general common sense are not used. Stay tuned.

I had a flight into an airport that was closed ( i didnt know until after ), before the flight a young pilot got on the plane before boarding and then left with another older pilot to show up, when we landed an offduty stewardess was freaking out that we just landed in a foot of snow, the drive home that night was less than 10 mph and waht normally took an hour took 4-5 hours.

Hejsan. As a native speaker of Russian, I have just listened to the conversation between the ATC and Flight 821. Oh, man, you can distinctly hear, when the first officer is talking, and when the captain pitches in. Because he just can’t piece the two words together. And moreover, up until the very end the ceptain seems to be totally oblivious to what’s going on. He just mutters the same old “Going down to 600. Flight 821” without any sign of worry. Only 10 seconds after the last such “confirmation” you can hear someone cursing and screaming - and then Flight 821 became silent (on the ATC frequency). It’s so-so sad :(

I grew up in Arkhangelsk (which is the town where the Aeroflot-Nord headquarters were) in the airport area, and had friends and even relatives working at Aeroflot-Nord. When I heard of the accident, I immediately went to check if there was anyone I knew on the plane. And yes, one of the crew was a childhood friend of mine. That was such a shock to me, she was so young!

I learned how to fly when I was just a teenager, and I am 70 now but still remember how I had to drill myself over and over again about the Attitude Indicator, realizing at the time that the BIG MISTAKE that could be made would be in trying to Control to Correct the HORIZON instead of controlling to MATCH the Plane to the Horizon indication... the difference between Life and Death. My Instructor did put me through some HOOD Time for Instrument Flight, and, yeah, all my homework paid off and my Instructor was pleased. But, yes, that is one Instrument where Intuition can be exactly Wrong, that is, the very opposite of CORRECT.

The pilot asked for a tea from the cabin crew member just so he could try to show them "he's the boss" and they're below him. He was probably thinking "how dare they tell me how to fly this plane" when they reminded the pilot to turn the seatbelt light on so he had to show he's the big boss by requesting they serve him some tea. Clearly a superiority complex thing going on. I doubt he actually fancied a cuppa at that time.

I listened to CVR once again after watching this report. And I can assure you that you would have been 1000x times more horrified if you understood Russian. You mentioned about captain being intoxicated only at the end of the video, but from the voice tone of captain and consecutive actions and communication it sounded that all this situation happened exactly because of the attitude the pilot had due to being drunk. It can clearly heard from the expression of captain that he was annoyed not only by some unexpected flight plan or aircraft behavior but he was not very happy about just doing regular tasks. This sentence was his final approach briefing. "When we will be on that f **king marker...we will need to do that f**king gear down and other sh*t"..And when it all started he just felt he is not in condition and mood to do anything so he told FO to handle literally everything.

My family at the time lived in a house nearby railroad from Perm to Yekaterinburg. Only the river divided our house from railroad. And we became accustomed to the noises of railroad, even during the night. And that night we could'nt sleep at all. The silence was very unnerving as the sign, that something terrible has happened. At the morning we learned of the accident

What can you expect from a culture that teaches corruption and stupidity are qualities? They have no concept of responsibility, no idea what education is... they exist solely to be commanded by some lunatic midget and they know only brutality. Having seen years of similar crap before from them, this video is not even registering on my "surprised-o-meter". Theirs isn't a society, it's a post society, a weird experiment on what happens when low intelligence creatures that aren't exactly homo-sapiens-sapiens inherit technology. After it's all said and done, there's going to be books written on this.

As a beginner pilot (~100 hr) I have consumed maybe a dozen of your videos on your various channels now, and while all I am flying presently are largely “low performance” general aviation airplanes (single-engine, 200hp or less, service ceilings no higher than ~14000ft, etc) learning from the mistakes of other pilots helps to make me a safer pilot. Of course there are moments where I feel competent enough to “push” the aircraft, especially with my instructor friend next to me, but knowing how quickly the situation can unravel serves to keep me a humble and obedient-and SAFE- pilot as i continue learning on my journey. Thank you again for your detailed, patient, informative videos.

It is a case of complete unfamiliarity, not complete lack of skill. They were used to an aircraft that was almost all manual, switching to aircraft with a very smart and complicated automated systems. So they had no idea of layers and layers of automatic controls, how they engage and what they do, making them baffled for what the aircraft is doing. And everything is just written in gibberish. Try imagine getting into a car with automatic transmission for a first time after a lifetime of driving manual, but much, much worse and on a morning after a party.

Yeah, as a teenager, Microsoft sent a copy of Flight Simulator to our computer lab, likely in an attempt to get them to buy some educational course to go with it. (This was back in the days of Windows 95.) We students, of course, were happy to play with it, but we quickly discovered that, with no instruction about how fly a commercial jet (or what "flaps" were), landing one was virtually impossible. It took a great many tries before the most patient of us managed to even come close to a safe landing, but then we ran into what seemed like an impossible brick wall. If we landed at flying speed, we'd overshoot the runway and end up in the wheat fields. If we lowered speed, we'd stall and crash. I managed one of the best landings of anyone, but I kinda cheated by touching down WAY before the airport and rolling over the runway... and then into the ditch beside the runway, but who's counting? XD

I felt sorry for that FO at the end, with all his weaknesses and lack of proper training, he REALLY did his best to try and put things in order. He was quick to notice and correct his mistakes, but he was being tested to his limits . He KNEW that the Captain was drunk and useless. You ever seen that point drunk people get where all they just want to do is argue with everyone at the bar? I think that's the point the captain was at, he didn't care at all about flying the plane, No, all he wanted was to argue with the ground controller, who in his drunken state, he felt was denying them landing clearance. That point where the FO told him to "just take it!", this Captain sounds like he was already dozing off or asleep at that point and hence his surprised " I can't do it either" response. This was a very unfortunate and sad event.

I have just discovered your videos! I went on my first Orion flight age 5 in 1979. From that moment I wanted to be an Air Hostess. I was sat with my dad. I learned years later my mum sat rows and rows away because she had a fear of flying. (Her first flight was in the 1960s to Spain. I’ve only learned recently how lucky my family were going abroad back then) I applied to fly for Britannia in the 1994 when I was 20…then found out I was pregnant. For years I’ve dreamed of plane crashes where I live (I also live a few streets away from Blackpool airport Uk) I think this was my dream of being a flight attendant being dashed. Your mini documentaries are awesome! They don’t put me off flying. No pilot (unless very unstable) wants to have an accident. I appreciate your videos and find them super interesting. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the extensive video, well done. In the early 90‘s I was a training pilot on the 737-300 training crew members from the now defunct East German airline Interflug. While all very good aviators, it was sometimes very frustrating trying to get a 50 year old Cpt that was used to flying all steam gauges on an Antonov to convert over to digital, working with an FMC, conversing in english with ATC as well as navigation. Most worked extremely hard in order to convert but some just couldn’t manage the overload.

As soon as I heard the word "unhinged" to describe the pilot's behaviour, my first thought was "that is someone that shouldn't be in a cockpit." The statement "do it all yourself," was another statement that proved that. In a high stress, team environment, it is important to keep a cool head and communicate effectively with your colleagues. Over 10 years ago, I remember a night very vividly where I was in this situation of a high-stress team environment where the high stress developed very quickly. Fortunately it was in a job where the consequences of a stuff up was nowhere near as serious as a pilot flying an airplane. If I stuffed up in my situation, McDonald's customers would have to wait longer for their food. So between 2009-2011 I worked at the busiest McDonalds in Australia. It was on the major freeway between Sydney and Newcastle. Monday nights were the quiet nights, so they were the nights where you'd train new staff while having a skeleton staff in the kitchen. So on this Monday night, there was a trainee, myself, two people on the main assembly line and one person on the grill. As a relatively experienced staff member, I was asked to train the kid on fried. About 2 hours into my shift, the manager comes out into the kitchen and says that 3 buses of 50 people each (so 150 people) had arrived. So I was asked to open up and man the second assembly line while also helping the kid on fried. I remember that the order screen would show 4 orders at once, and then there's be a +x (x being a number) to represent the orders not showing on the screen. I remember that my screen got up to +18 at one point. That's a night I'll never forget because it taught me that in those situations where communication is important, just keep a cool head and communicate with your team.

From time to time I flew with a regional airline in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. (now defunct) called Cascade, though it was better known locally as Crashcade. On one trip from Seattle to Spokane I was seated directly behind the pilot (It was a 14-seat plane.) Across the aisle was another pilot deadheading to Spokane. He leaned over, looked at the altimeter, and asked the pilot if we were lower than the altimeter read. The pilot banged on the altimeter and the indicator needle flipped down. The deadheading pilot said, "That looks better."

Not related to this video, but I used to regularly fly with Aeroflot from Moscow to Tokyo. On one occasion, we boarded at Moscow, and sat there for probably half an hour, then to door opened and on walked a 'maintenance engineer'. The guy was in filthy overalls, with a cigarette in his mouth and a hand carried tool bag. I swear, he looked like a pound shop Super Mario character. Anyway, he casually walked down the centre aisle, kicked the worn out carpet out of the way, opened a flap in the floor, got a hammer out of his bag and started hitting something through the hole in the floor. He obviously decided that he'd hit it enough, so got up, closed the flap, kicked the carpet back and shuffled off of the plane. Then we took off. To this day, I've no idea why I just sat there rather than getting off of the plane.

I was on a Westjet flight out of Edmonton about 2004. We took off in the evening and must have sucked a goose down the starboard engine because it began to lose bits of itself and the whole fuselage shook. The cabin crew looked out the window to confirm that the motor was a) on fire and b) losing bits. So they shut it down. That pilot when he came on the PA? Well, first, he yawned. Then he said, with a small chuckle as he started, "Folks, we're going to head back. Yes, we've lost an engine. Now I could fly this Boing all the way to Vancouver International on one engine, but they tell me I shouldn't. So, we're going to go back. We train a lot for these things and I can land this plane easily with one motor. So, keep your seatbelts buckled and we'll be on the ground in a minute." Well, he brought us in easy as you please. Not even a bump on the landing. Just set it down with firetrucks racing along beside us and pulled up someplace mid tarmac at Edmonton International. An hour later we commandeered a different Westjet flight (likely stranding a hundred people who would have gone to Moose Jaw or someplace like that) and took their plane to Vancouver. Westjet wanted us on our way ASAP, before we could talk to the press or anyone else, so we made it in almost on time. That pilot knew how to handle asymmetric thrust.

When was this that this guy flew with Aeroflot and what was the reason his experience was bad? The reason I am asking is because if it was in the 90s, I would not be surprised as the whole country was in a free fall at that time and things were barely functioning. But even then the main issues were related to the equipment and maintenance, not drunk or bad pilots. And this whole story, by the way, is completely (but skillfully) fabricated. In reality it was a failed terrorist attack aimed at a huge oil refinery where the plane overtaken by the terrorists was headed. The plane had to be shot down by the local military to prevent many more deaths and the destruction of half the city.

@@krzysztofiwan4901 Aeroflot is totally fine nowadays. And by “fine” I mean it operates as a normal airline should. I fly with them 4-5 times a year, never saw a drunk pilot. Also, keep in mind this wasn’t really Aeroflot, it was “Aeroflot Nord”, one of the smaller regional subsidiaries. The next day after this crash Aeroflot suspended their operations until the end of investigation, then banned them from using “Aeroflot” trade name by not renewing their contract with them, and basically did everything to disassociate Aeroflot brand from that company and that crash (which is understandable…). I believe that regional airline either went bankrupt soon afterwards or was restructured/rebranded.

I remember watching the same episode on Air Crash Investigation when I was below 15 years of age. They just concluded that the accident was a result of pilot confusion because of flying Soviet style aircraft for a long period of time... Your analysis has way more depth than that episode and now I am old enough to also understand the Physics behind maintaining altitude and speed and thrust in an aircraft... Your analysis really made me sweat as it had so much to cover and really and also put the viewer in the shoes of the pilots... THANKS FOR THIS ANALYSIS

There were serious mechanical problems with the planes. 3. The pilots hated us because we were American and were torturing us. I remember desperately hoping it was number 3.

As this was Soviet Union/Russia, being drunk and careless was *very* common. This means either your reason 1 or reason 2 applied, probably both. Reason 2 maybe caused by drunk and careless mechanics, systematic theft of valuable material and tools, and/or misappropriation of funds by the bosses. All being quite pervasive in USSR/Russia. Your potential reason 3 doesn't explain why the same mess applied to flights with their nationals. Even if hatred played a part, the irresponsibility of any kind of intentional abuse might well be attributed to reason 1. EDIT: USSR/Russia had and still has some very good engineers and many technically skilled people, and obviously there are many people who are neither drunk nor careless nor corrupt. We shouldn't forget this.

Unfortunately, years later another crash of the same type in another airline but with equally 'well' trained crew showed that even a go-around is a complex and tricky manouver. Nobody was drunk there, they have recognized the situation early, initiated a go around but were not capable of completing it and another 50 lives were taken away. So, unawareness of this crew was not due to the fact the captain was drunk. It was an effect of Dunning-Kruger in it's finest. They knew so little they didn't realize they are not capable to be pilots of 737 in general.

Petty much when you said he asked for the cup of tea, I concluded he was suffering from chronic alcoholism. The kind where you start and end every single day with a few drinks. And probably drinks throughout the day. You don't even have to be drunk to act drunk all the time. Or more specifically, you're just unhinged and always make irrational decisions. I used to be that guy, and considered myself "high functioning" because my colleagues and family all let me get away with it. They just (myself included) thought I was always unhinged and angry and irrational. Even days I didn't drink most of the day (probably more unhinged on the sober days due to withdrawals). Had to have a drink in my hand everywhere I went. Not surprised the captain was found to be drunk at the end. First officer sounded sober. It's very hard to say anything to these kind of alcoholics, and their ability to perform most tasks just reinforces the feeling that you're "high functioning" (there is no such thing). I can't even picture myself like that these days. I don't even have the same body I had back then.

As it was "Russian" and landing on a US Airbase, the Aircraft was "lead" to the offload site by several US "Agencies".

I did work for a while as an external adviser for a Gazprom subsidiaries to improve performance safety and procedures and in 3 years I barely managed to change anything. Higher ups don't care and any problem found is taken as an personal attack as it blemishes their records, middle management is only interested in climbing up and corrupt as hell and the normal workers and constantly anything to cut their work short even if it means risking their own health.

Flight went smooth and uneventful, but the landing was a nightmare to me. As soon as the wheels touched ground, the fuselage was violently shaking and distorting, like waves going across the walls, top lights breaking and pieces of the ceiling covers breaking off and falling onto the passengers a few rows in front of me. All I could think was "this thing is breaking apart into a million pieces!" When finally the aircraft came to a halt, that complete shocked silence in the cabin.

Anyway, this video is great at showing just how crucial all the little things can be. A whole big string of "If only..."s. Starting with task delegation differences on tupolevs and boeings, going on with a few breakers on improperly working systems, the problems with old dogs and teaching them completely new things, the negligence of accumulating stress in the grunts by the chiefs and the cursed ways of dealing with that stress so horridly common in ex-SU... Great work, thanks. That case was a big wake-up call and some of the crap going on in the system was fixed... Somewhat. It's actually been pleasant to fly on major russian carriers in the last 10 years before the war. I knew some of the pilots working for aeroflot, s7, transaero when they still were around - nice, professional, sky-loving folk. Now some of them are in China, some of them are trying to land a job in European or South American carriers, some of them are stuck on decaying planes trying to overcome obviously worsening condition of everything. Just wait for some of the upcoming crashes covered as a terrorist actions instead of actually acknowledging the problem. I love our great leader. Same as I love some of the comments, though. Sometimes it seems to me like the consensus is that all the russians must go and commit to mass self-death actions. These pesky drunk killer reds ain't worth anything good. Yall do get that there's like at least 140 million of different people only characterized by the actions of worst of them and there's actually some decent folk in that mass? Nevermind, gotta go get drunk and get someone dead. Cheers.

This was the craziest story I’ve heard thus yet. It actually made me say out loud “wtf bruh” multiple times, and then just sit in silence when it was over.

This happened in my hometown back in 2008. The whole city was shocked as it was the biggest tragedy people saw to that day. Rumors started spreading quickly, that plane was hijacked and put down with missiles, as our city has large oil refinery which likely could be the target. A lot of fake witnesses claimed they saw a flash in the skies that night and/or plane burning while flying. I believe a lot of people believe this theory till this day. I read the whole report in russian but not a lot of people believed that pilots simply could be that confused by the instruments. This video gave a new perspective for what has happened, including the history of Aeroflot Nord (which was bankrupted shortly after the crash), so thanks a lot!

Вы в курсе, что это был террористический акт? И что пилоты пожертвовали жизнью 88 людей, чтобы спасти Пермь . Даже многие пермяки подтвердят, что видели в небе горящий самолёт. Вечная память 🕯️

@@raerohan4241 It happened in my country and in the city of my friend. Also, the crew was completely from my city. I've read all the details of the crash and the version about the drunk pilot doesn't add up. There were no craters, the plane was already on fire, there was a military general on board...So much evidence, but they don't believe me.

As someone born in the USSR and having also lived in Russia in the 90s, I long ago noticed that many Russians just love those mystical conspiracy theories. It's a bit like with Blacks in the US and Africans, who believe in all kinds of voodoo. There's always some dramatic conspiracy to explain away lack of competence, stupidity, and recklessness. Sergey Brin once called Russia “Nigeria with snow,” and I agree.

I don't know anything about flying but it seems to me that the most important part of computer assist is to absolutely step in when bonehead things are being commanded instead of just trying to cover them up and adjust for them secretly. It should automatically warn when incongruencies are detected - such the thrust mismatch - not just secretly adjust for it at the yoke and allow the incongruencies to go on unannounced AND pile up on each other. It seems that there would be a warning that the speed was too low for the flap angle, or that their approach was off by KILOMETERS as well as being WAY too high. It would seems that a computer could do the necessary adjustments and inputs better than the humans can once the targeted destination airport / runway was input. Basically it seems like all the autopilot did was cover all their mistakes until it was too late to discover and unravel all of them...

Just remember that computers and code are still made by human beings and there's nothing worse than when those malfunction. Removing the pilots ability to control their aircraft has caused many crashes in its time
