I wish this channel did more of these happy-ending videos rather than the disasters. They're uplifting not only because everyone survives but also because of the skill of the pilots.

I agree so totally, and my entire comment is dedicated to our thinking on this.

Agreed, sir.

@@nobody7817 I totally get where you're coming from. I wonder sometimes if going back toa third active member of crew would make a difference, in the old way that an 'engineer' would monitor systems, but that's countered by the difficulty of three people communicating during a dire emergency. I think there is a test bed of sorts, but it's on the ground. The EV vehicle has so much fewer moving parts, and though it could be another decade until enough data is available to see if fewer parts makes systems simpler and last longer, that would always be my guess. Fewer moving parts, fewer systems. I believe in simplify, but I respect when it comes to flight, there's so many variables in physics alone, let alone the mechanics of keeping a massive airliner in the sky. The only real comparison is the ocean liner. It never went well at all, but when you look at the cruise ship of today (putting illnesses onboard aside) the modern ship does have an amazing safety record in the last 30yrs, with fewer major disasters than ever.

@@nobody7817 I have driven coaches and they have 10 dials too much, but you look on a fight deck and think, are you serious?!?! I get why they have to have a sterile environment at times. They also need 6 eyes each.

Just as there will always be problems that exceed the capacity of organic lo-tech.

Yeh, definitely deserves a Blue Peter badge!

Naw he just understands how fight works

Remember, the Pilot 👨🏻‍✈️ has a wife and kids waiting for him at home too🙋🏽‍♀️✈️

Its me flying this plane in Jumbo Jet Flight Simulator

@@donnarupert4926 The crazy thing is that his only child, a teenage son, had just passed away a year prior to this incident.

Bro, so true....but there's more There was a really cute couple that had NEVER met, until the pilots asked everyone to move forward, then they were seatmates - and it was true love at first sight....married in a month ! Ha Hallmark movie plot....

and a trijet which allows the crew to control the pitch by adjusting the thrust of the engines

SOME OF THE BEST .

@@johnsmith-rs2vk imagine having the column full forward and still heading towards a stall.

@@BREADCRUMB Check out BE .548 . Trident crash heathrow 1972 .

@@johnsmith-rs2vk yep gotta check it out. I made a video on BA38 if you’re interested. If you want to check it out and give me feedback I would really appreciate it 😉

@@BREADCRUMB It was the Trident crash at Heathrow in 1972 BE 548 KZfaq

I grew up around the time of the Tri planes. I have always thought the same. The De Havilliand Comet, and then the Tri planes that were designed during the 1960's seemed so ahead of their time.

The Lockheed trijet was truly a marvel of its time. Definitely one of the most beautiful and advanced planes ever built

L-1011 tri-star

She was! I flew to France round-trip on a L-1011 Tri Star and the flight was incredible! Then my mum and I flew to Detroit on a 747. The 747 was a very nice plane but I still liked the L-1011 Tri Star best.

@@harrietharlow9929 Were they as loud as they say they were? When I flew on a 747-200, I expected so much more, but they more like an Elephant proficient in ballet. Not at all the huge, powerful machine I expected.

Yes! Whenever I tell people about this channel they always ask if watching these videos makes me more nervous to fly, and I always reply that it actually makes me _less_ nervous. It’s comforting seeing all the new safety procedures that are put in place after each incident.

@@SessVlogs are u a pilot?

@@inc0gnit011 No? Why would you think that 😅

@@inc0gnit011 hey you! Remove that hair!

@@SessVlogs just by ur comment I thought so.

I was a vendor for one of the shipyards and got a tour on the USS Constellation. Sad to see her decommissioned. Her and the USS Kittyhawk.

Definitely one of Lockheeds long line of beautiful aircraft. My favorite airliner and a great cargo hauler too.

my fave plane too..flew on Delta L1011s many times from San Francisco to Atlanta and back..

I was a mechanic for TWA. By far my favorite aircraft. Still to this day ! Nothing flew as good as the Tri-Star

1969: when returning from my 3rd Armored Division station of duty in Frankfurt Germany we flew an L1011 stretch back to Philadelphia... it being Easter weekend when we stopped for fuel in Northern Ireland and in Bangor Maine the terminals were closed .. so no stretch breaks during refueling... And there was not one empty seat! Thirteen hours total ... families with small children 👶 babies crying ... I really felt bad for the dear moms doing their best 😊 to care for them. All in all .. an uneventful great flight.... By comparison... my next flight from Baltimore to LAX .. an all nighter was a 707 with just 11 passengers... two middle-aged couples and 7 single guys and 7 stewardesses ... so let your imaginations figure out that 7 hour flight ✈️... okay 👌 🎃😎

@@StarPartners if that isn't already a movie, it should be

All you need to get out of a sticky situation is a pilot who flew F4's during WW2, and a plane with a third, tail-mounted engine like Lockheed L-1011.

Work the problem. Don't make things worse by guessing

@@feliceconte123 😅

@@feliceconte123 *LOL*

I wonder how the cabin crew communicated their order to the passengers for moving them to the front of the plane. Free Business seats for everyone? Or were they honest and told them it was necessary to survive? 🤔

I believe most passengers would have sensed something unusual in a pitch-up of that degree. Then, when the crew asks everyone to move forward, all doubt would have ceased.

@@selftrue670 ya I can see that, however I’m certain they did not know the dire situation, the crew would have denied that info.

@@jlm2044 that would be a good thing to know. I wonder what the handbook says about a situation like that. You would think an airline company would have a policy on just these matters. And the more I think about it I’m starting to think they would have tool them something because then the people would be able prepare for a crash landing and people would be better suited to assist after because they know what happen and not shocked it happened.

They would have definitely knew something was wrong based on their flight. No doubt. I would have orderd

I mean, in WWII biplane bombers and jet fighters co-existed. Swordfish bombers were still sinking U-Boats into 1945.

We went from the Wright Brothers to the Moon in less than 70 years. It's amazing what a country can do when everyone agrees and sets their mind to something.

@@User31129 *world not country. U are glorifying United States Of America

@@space0015 I agree. Unfortunately, far too many Americans know nothing about the rest of the world. In many fields we are light years ahead of the US.

@@User31129 You mean it's amazing what a country does when it poaches engineers from other nations.

@@mongo4511 Ouch! That's rough. And inaccurate, of course.

@@selftrue670 well ?

No. So many WWII pilots got lost and never returned to base. Their deaths are merely considered less of a tragedy because it was war.

But on the whole humans make more mistakes than computers.

Flying a jet without either a computer or a flight engineer is almost impossible.

I'm an airline pilot and I guarantee you I know how to fly - just saying.

@@winstonchurchill3597 How is that relevant to this conversation?

Especially in that Delta livery

Douglas DC-10 cargo door.

Re the DC-10 fiasco, the flight authorities should have pulled out all the stops in 1972 but chose instead to allow McD to take its time with those critical hull mods (like the pressure-equalising vents in the cabin floor whose installation might have averted the 1974 Paris disaster).

Yup I remember I also was close by. The bums living in the shrubs on the side of the 8 fwy ran up and started to loot and pull rings, jewelry and wallets from the body parts !

@@CatDaddySteve Wow Steven I had not heard that. Pretty sick ! I guess So Cal has ALWAYS had a homeless problem. I visited back in 2016 and recall in the Mission Valley Riverbed there was a sizeable encampment.

I remember seeing the smoke from Grossmont College that day, blowing to the west, because there was a Santa Ana. And, is no one going to mention the fact that at the time of this video's incident, the airport was known as Lindbergh Field, not San Diego Airport? 🤨

@@CatDaddySteve I knew a SD County Sheriff- he arrested a guy with pieces of jawbone and teeth in his pockets. The guy was going to melt the gold or silver fillings and sell the metal.

And I remember flying into O'Hare from San Diego (via LAX) on 5/25/1979, in an AA DC-10, and having to circle the field for a very long time before we could land. We didn't find out why until after we landed, and then had to drive past the still smoking wreckage on the way out. That would have been our flight back a week later. As it was, we did fly an AA DC-10 back, as they hadn't been grounded yet. We hit a little wake turbulence just after take off, and there were more than a few *very* worried looks in the cabin.

These videos are genuinely high quality.

Yes, no contest, for me!

Who pulls back on the throttles when you are about to stall? Thats normally when you want full power.

@@robertdoell4321 that’s true but there was other mechanical problems. The pilot’s experience kicked in and over rode the “add more power” thus saving everyone’s life.

@@todd5082 I was thinking he should I just did not expect him to do what I was thinking. Kinda outa the box

@@robertdoell4321 I totally agree.

I was wondering the same thing!!

I am as well asking that

Peanut butter as well

Ps and marmite!

So weird that a plane designed by Lockheed Martin is being used by Northrop Grumman lol

The key is understanding what makes an aircraft fly--and what makes it not fly. Button pushing and gauge watching are important, but time and time again, the pilots who save the day are the ones that fully understand aerodynamics.

I’ve always loved the L1011. Typical lovely design of a Lockheed aircraft. It got a bad rap over the years but it definitely was a workhorse.

Exactly; fly by wire, die by wire !

Right. The half-operative elevator breakdown is such a highly unusual incident that it couldn't have realistically been anticipated. Even now it's extremely unlikely. However, pilots in WWII actually were training for extreme breakdowns due to combat. Cannon, flak explosions, and machine gun damage were a real possibility every time they took off. Check out the KZfaq videos of B-17 bombers returning from missions over Germany, Japan, and Italy from 1941 to '45. Entire rudders, elevators, and wing sections were blown away, yet the pilots somehow managed to fly home.

I am grateful that the pilot rarely ever wins. It is the reason that air travel is safer today than it ever has been, but don't worry, even when automation slashes the number of road deaths by several magnitudes there will be idiot dinosaurs just like you saying how it was much safer when you could just drive your car home from a bar after 8 beers.

What an idiotic, and made up comment. I was flying in planes in the 70s. Never once were we asked to move to the front of an aircraft, with low occupancy. And passengers as test pilots??? WTF?

A beauty AND a beast!

Of course! He is a Marine!

@@nobody7817 Yep, and I guarantee you his combat experience is what made all the difference in this situation. If it had been a civil pilot with no real experience with such nerve-wracking situations of real feats of aviation, the outcome would've been so much worse.

"for once"?

@@cameron8679 well not necessarily worse with a civilian pilot but his experience certainly came into play.

@@chendaforest well, you've got two choices: someone whose been in a dangerous adrenaline dump situation at 20,000 feet cause they did it during the war, or someone who just had experience flying civil aircraft during peacetime. I know which one I'm gonna choose!

If it happens i would be really happy. I would go in a long haul flight with NokAir and watch The plane with funny NokAir livery and a creepy smile in the nose of the Plane.

Remain calm keep ur seat belts on pray
