I grew up in San Francisco and worked for Lockheed ground support at SFO in the '80s. This is an excellent video that shows the Bay Area just as it is. The big problem in the '70s was that the new, heavy 747s stressed out the runways, which were landfill done around WWII. They constantly required repairs, but the problem wasn't being solved. Millions were spent after this near-tragedy to deeply reinforce the runways.

@@rstidman I’m thinking the accident report is incomplete or fishy. Having the flaps set up at 40 degrees instead of 20 should have guaranteed that the plane got off in time. Much more lift was generated. The controllers screwed up, according to the report, so I’m not clear on exactly why you think it was the pilot's suicide attempt.

@@riverwildcat1 The aircraft would have lifted in time had it rotated earlier (i.e. at a slower speed). However the pilot was waiting for it to reach the incorrect and too high VR speed and so held it on the ground until it was too far down the runway to clear the obsticles. Using a higher flap setting means that while it can be rotated earlier and with slower (and so steeper) climb-out, the accelleration during the takeoff roll is lower (more drag).

On June 24, 1982, a British Airways 747 flying at 32,000 ft. to Jakarta, Indonesia, Flight 009, experienced St. Elmo's Fire over the whole fuselage, and in minutes, the front windshield was almost opaque and all four engines quit. They couldn't see on radar that a dry volcanic ash cloud had risen higher than they were, and it had sandblasted everything outside, and choked the engines with volcanic grit. All they had for power was the auxiliary power unit and the onboard batteries. Soon they passed through the cloud and miraculously restarted three of the four engines. They landed safely with no casualties. Talk about great pilot training! And fantastically well engineered turbofan engines.

The 747 was an amazing aircraft. Triple redundancy. Very buoyant for all it's weight and mass. It didn't want to fall out of the sky like other aircraft. The landing attested to the skill of the captain. One issue however on the 747 was the location of various input switches. The were reversed on the 747 as opposed to the 707, which pilots upgraded from. This incident, in my opinion is more of a communication problem as to the overall condition of the runways. Pilots should have personally notified via bulletins or otherwise. This is where it all began. Remember pilots lives are just important to themselves as are the passengers and aircraft. They don't want to die.

That landing, with a heavily damaged plane still carrying 60% of its fuel load, could easily have ended up like the Asiana flight that hit the same ALS mounting apparatus on the same runway, 40-odd years later. The crew messed up big time in calculating the takeoff speeds and flap settings but at least they (somewhat) redeemed themselves by getting everyone back down in more or less one piece, and also somehow avoiding a hull loss.

To me, it was a very educational video and it taught me how flap settings and proper flight calculations can mean the difference between life and death. When the runways changed the crew didn’t recalculate the takeoff parameters and because of that the 747 had to make a very scary emergency landing. While the crew was responsible for this incident, I do commend them, especially the Captain for landing the plane without things going from bad to horrifically worse. Excellent video

We studied this accident when I went through flight attendant training with Western Airlines in 1977.

I was a distant witness to the circling of the aircraft from Stanford University, Palo Alto. A light aircraft flew in formation with the accident aircraft for quite a few circles. This was for the purpose of damage inspection. It's hard to say what the pilots could have done differently with different observed degrees of damage. So the aircraft did not just circle out at sea, it also circled passing over Palo Alto.

One of the injured had a partial amputation of the foot and unless the physicians on board happened to be carrying a couple of syringes of morphine with them, the injured had no relief.

I always had fear to heights, of course that meant getting on a plane was a terrifying thing to me, in my life i only have travel in a plane 5 times and i still have fear to it. But these videos are fascinating to me, learning so much about the technical aspects of flying makes me see it with another eyes, the amount of work that pilots and crew members do is immense and of course you expect them to perform their duties flawlessly because people's lives are involved, but you can see that sometimes, human errors are inevitable. Cheers from Spain and keep up the good work!

I was living in Oakland at the time of this accident. It seems that when the F/O discovered that 28L was closed, and that the first 1,000 feet of runway 01R was closed, they should have immediately re-calculated their takeoff parameters. Since 28L was closed there was no indication of whether takeoffs were being allowed on 28R, which is considerably longer than 1R, and requested that runway if possible. Runway 28R is over 10,000 ft long.

I too was wondering why 28R is not mentioned as an alternative.

@@premkudva but the FO did request the tower on his own volition if they could take off from runway 28 R. It was the captain who insisted to take off on the closed runway 28 F, and finally the tower told them to take off from runway 01R, stating there would be enough space on the runway for them to take off. At this point there was a communication confusion between the pilots and the tower and the pilots understood that they had an extra 1000 feet of runway 01R to take off bringing the total takeoff distance to 9500 ft instead of the correct distance of 8500 ft.
