My confidence in Boeing erodes with every new Green Dot video

I think it is about time Boeing included a "Your engine has fallen off" and "your door plug has fallen off" warning lights.

".....There is no instrument that tells you if your engines fall off....." LOL. Priceless commentary. Well played, sir.

The first officer on this flight was a childhood friend and my neighbour, it's chilling to hear his voice on this video.

I'm amazed how calm that last radio call was. Just professionalism until the end

In the Netherlands we all know this incident as the Bijlmer ramp. young or old, native or none native, everyone in our country is formiliar with this horror incident. One of the darkest days in the dutch aviation history. 43 people who didnt survive and hundreds upon hunderds of people traumatized for the rest of their life's. I have no direct involvement with this crash, i live no where near amsterdam, but everytime i hear the last atc traffic of this flight i get chills all over my body. We will not forget, Rest in peace to all involved.

RIP to those fine aviators, they fought a hopeless battle to the end and never gave up. Even the final radio call wasn’t panicked . Respect to El Al for their excellent pilots and training. RIP to those on the ground.

I worked for Qantas engineering in the mid 1990s and remember doing the engine strut mods after the El Al crash, they were done in conjunction with a aircraft D check. A lot of the structure inside the wings had to be modified and strengthened as well as on the struts themselves. 🇦🇺

Wow. Throughout the video I thought this was going to be a miracle story. Cant believe it went so wrong. I hope the crew and passenger are resting in peace, knowing their sacrifice made such a huge change to the safety of the industry for us all.

Ah yes, late evening watching green dot aviation. doesn't get better then this.

There's a bit more to this. The defects were due to cutting corners on routine engine maintenance, causing pressure on the joint it wasn't designed for - the engines were not removed and supported properly to save time.

"In a few short minutes they would be lined up to depart. While we wait..." and then goes into the ad 😂

Imagine being someone on the ground looking at the falling aircraft... Must have been such a horrifying scene

GOING DOWN!! GOING DOWN!! Sent chills down my spine

OMG !!! Why do i keep watching these when i find them so very upsetting. RIP all who die because of plane crashes.😢😢

I always get emotional on these accidents, but it’s just this sadness feeling, even on “closer to home” accidents like AF447 and TAM3054 (being born in Brazil), but this one, when he mentioned crashing over an ELEVEN story building, I really couldn’t hold my tears. Thank you for covering this accident, Green Dot. My sympathies to the Dutch and the involved people. 🖤

One thing I learned from 737 simulators - never allow to airspeed decrease too much - no matter how much failures. When I see measured AOA higher than 5 deg., then I have heart attack every time. Its better to overrun runway than stall and crash.

This is the one channel I’ll drop EVERYTHING i’m doing just to watch

I was 11 years old, standing in the kitchen of our elderly house. My fathers girlfriend, (not my mother), had her parents over, and it was just a normal day. My father was a volunteer firefighter. And at a moment, his pager went off, and he received the call that the divers section of our town's station were called out to Amsterdam, due to a crashed airplane. I am 43 years old now, but I remember it like it happened yesterday.

So often, these stories end with a highway or river or field... The way I lurched when you said the words "eleven-story apartment building." That's horrific.

I was looking for a documentary on this crash for the last 2 weeks but couldn’t find a decent high quality one, now I have thanks man

My friend's father was a colleague of this crew and we were just talking about this tragedy as he attended a memorial event. Thank you for covering this.

After the pilot said we're going down, you can't imagine how terrifying that cockpit view must have been 😢

If it’s Boeing I ain’t going.

Never believed I would live just a kilometre away from the crash site and be watching a video about it. Thank you again for a great coverage of this tragic accident.

I remember my Grandpa (who also loves aviation) telling me about this incident. Such a tragic event RIP to all who died

This has to be the most under-appreciated channel on KZfaq. The quality of your videos is improving so much every time, and it’s a genuine pleasure to watch each one.

"And theres no instrument to tell you that your engine has fallen off"... hahaha OMG that's better than SNL

This intro is literally the best channel intro I've ever saw. It looks stunning

So good to see you back my brother. Hope the pilot training is going well and thank you for all you do with these amazing videos.

The calmness of those pilots in the moment of such adversity always blows my mind away, even seconds away, knowing a sure death was, pretty calmly say..." going down...going down"...WOW!

BOEING’s new slogan: “We’ll get you there….well, most of the time anyways.” Or: “All our flights end on the surface, guaranteed!”

A couple of corrections / additions: unlike you stated, the plane was actually struggling to climb. This was noticed by ATC who remarked on this: "hij klimt voor geen meter". It has been suggested the plane was taking off beyond MTOW, possibly due to undeclared / illegal cargo. This in turn could have exacerbated the fuse pins' cracking. Also, the runway choice by the crew was indeed curious, but it would allow the plane to stay within El Al's restricted area at Schiphol; again, possibly related to the supposedly illegal military cargo. Finally the plane became uncontrollable due the inoperative slats on the damaged wing while they did extend on the other wing. On the cockpit audio you can hear Captain Fuchs asking for the slats to be retracted again but by then it was too late.

Thanks for the clear transcript and high-quality graphics on only which can only be described as a horrific tale of events. I'm hooked to stay on this channel. I used to watch Air Crash Investigation and Seconds From Disaster about aviation accidents when I was involved in aviation, now there's Green Dot Aviation! Congrats to all involved!

Thank you so much for this! I knew the incident from an old Mayday episode, but your format and calming voice lives up to this tragedy so much more. Best aviation channel by far for me on KZfaq!

De Bijlmerramp is the Netherlands worst aircraft incident. My uncle was in Bijlmer at the moment, and told me the ground shook at the moment of impact.

Hey, Green Dot. I saw a chart of the most successful aviation channels and there among Mentour Pilot and a few other heavy hitters was Green Dot Aviation. Congratulations.

During a private pilot’s lesson we lost our rpms at 500 feet it dropped down to 1500 rpms my instructor Jim Vest took control and turned that Beechcraft sundowner around right over the tops of the pine trees and landed it safely mad respect Jim thanks for saving my life!!

I really like the new style and formatting on this video, looks so much better and professional, keep up the great work!

Man I love this channel

Since 1970 1,575 747's were built. 64 had crashed. 3,746 people died. 4.1% failure rate. Production ended in 2023. Since the FAA had sent out a warning regarding the pin fatigue prior to this crash why hadn't the airline inspected these pins?

I came straight to your channel immediately after I saw all the Boeing stuff. I’ve been going back through all your old videos and the foreshadowing is crazy😭

I'm Gobsmacked. Even your advertisements are brilliant. What a voice.

Thank you so much for your videos Green dot. You are my absolute #1 favourite channel on the entirety of KZfaq. Also I highly commend your music choices in this video, subtle yet appropriately dramatic. (I'm a musician/composer and I'm rather picky about things like this). Thank you again very much

I can only imagine the horror on the pilots' minds when they realized they lost the remaining control of the aircraft.

I found this channel a few days ago through a rabbit hole coming from Brick Immortar and I can’t stop watching. Good work 🌟

Love the documentaries keep it up

"We're going down, we're going down" Heartbreaking

3:56 they’re a 747 Classic and a A350. Also, REALLY good video @GreenDotAviation I learned new things and i had no problems understanding the incident. Very well done and keep it up

Another amazing video. Thanks!

The quality of your videos consistently gets better and better, not that they weren’t good to begin with but clearly you’ve been constantly improving!

FINALLY! I subscribed to your channel last month, expecting a video to come not long after... and well, here we are.

idk how they can stay so calm and just radio "going down" instead of screaming their heads off

Another excellent video the opening genuinely gave me chills. Great job as always !!

The way Kelsey talks about 747 engine failures I'm surprised they even diverted

Great video once again, man! I like the way of storytelling and keeping it to the point. You might want to include "Bijlmerramp" in the title or description of the video; Could give a viewer-boost.

As I watched this video, I imagined what it must have been like to see this plane from the ground as it fell from the sky. Seems like an awfully traumatic thing to witness. On a side note, this channel seems to get better with each upload. This video was excellent and well worth the wait.

I actually visited the crash site on a trip to Amsterdam. It was at night and it was really terrifying. Although it’s been many years now, the feeling of death laid lurking while the cold winds of the winter blew. I was like the only person walking there and there were no lights at all.

Love your videos! Keep it coming.

Actually the ultimate solution was the design and implementation of the Dual Side Brace (DSB) fitting. The strut mod program in the 90s on the 747 was one of the largest mod programs ever.

I love this channel. I also won’t be flying ever again unless absolutely necessary.

I will never fly with a Boeing again. When greed comes before safety, i am out.

Great video, great production. Subscribed.

The quality of these videos couldn’t get any better!

I hate it when two 747 engines fall of my aeroplane, it's so inconvenient and happens too often.

3:53 this is an Airbus a350, the one before was a combi Boeing 747-300 as it was the last old variant of Boeing to rely on analogical cockpit, as viewed by the captain's adi is an LCD

I remember seeing the "Seconds from Disaster" episode about this accident many years ago (around 2008) when I was only a small child. It was incredibly interesting to see two of the engines just "fall off," and even more fascinating learning many years later what exactly caused that to happen. Still, though, rest in peace all who died in the crash of El Al Flight 1862.

So sad, that crew worked so hard and had achieved miracles up to the end.

Wake up babe, a new Green Dot video just dropped!

I’m glad you explained how they fixed this problem 😅

What amazing picturisation it felt like I'm watching a movie. Just so good to see that u have achieved excellent video making technique. Congrats 👏👏

imagine those kids who were home alone and when their parents come they realise that a fucking plane crashed in it

Fuse pins are meant to be the weak point, so a damaged engine can tear itself off the wing without damaging the wing itself. My recollection - the inboard engine was replaced using a forklift instead of the proper lifting cradle. The lifting cradle would have put all mounting point in the right places, but with a forlkift, you'd put one pin in place then adjust the engine to put a second in place, etc. This procedure overstressed some of the pins. The design of the pins is such that the rear one should go first, then the side pins, leaving the front pin last. If the engine was stopped, this pin would break and the engine fall away, if under power, the engine would swing around vertically on the front pin and be thrown safely over the top of the wing. But the damaged pins were included the inboard pin. When it went, together with, I think the front pin, the engine pivoted around the side pin, throwing it outwards, where it collided with the outboard engine and the wing structure.

Love your videos man

I really love that you add ATC recordings in the video, do it more! :D

Boeing knew but did nothing. Imagine that. 🙄

Very sad. This is very similar to American flight 191, almost exactly the same failure.

Your new graphics style is on point! 🤌

I remember this tragic accident happening some years ago. A really gripping video.

Ooh a new video has come! It means Green Dot has completed his flying tests 😻

Bone freezing last ATC call. May the pilots and everyone else rest in peace.

What a terribly sad story, all those poor people in their apartments dying from a jet crashing into their complex, something you'd never expect to happen, and the brave pilots who did everything they could to get the plane landed, may God rest their souls in heaven.

love your videos!!!

Waited so long for this video

I've never been this early for a video before

Literally my jaw dropped when the animation shows the engine fall off

This reminds me a lot of QF32. I wonder if things could have been different in this accident, but have huge respect for the pilots who did everything they could to keep this plane in the air.

Hearing the name Israel after recent happenings 😐

Guys please leave your soothing intro theme with no voice over and great voice work content with no music backround. The videos are fantastic.

I love this channel, there’s not a single episode that I have not watched ❤

They were so close. What a tragic loss.

I remember there was possible speculation (from what I remember, been a long time since last watch it) that Israel was receiving some explosives or weapons on this flight. Can't remember what channel though.

They didn't hire enough strong and empowered diverse women at Boeing. They need to work harder at their DEI quotas, it's the only way to fix this.

Was waiting on this one!

"How could the plane simply fall apart in the sky?" "It's a Boeing." "Oh, gotcha. How could the plane even get off the ground?"

Very good video just you did a mistake it Ben gurion airport in PALESTINE NOT ISRAEL

Great animations, and I loved how you added the KLM A310 into it.

The suspense has ejected my adrenaline right off the roof ufffffff. I really was praying and still hoped for a miracle to happen . May GOD bless their souls .

I feel Bad for the people from netherland. For the Israeli aviators i don't feel Bad.
