In the latter half of the 20th century, the Boeing 747 became the most iconic plane in the skies. With its four engines and distinctive upper deck, the plane could fly several thousands of kilometers on a single load of fuel and carry over 350 passengers, depending on the seating arrangement. The plane was incredibly popular with airlines and the general flying public alike, national flag carrier airlines from all over the world wanted one of these planes in their fleets. Despite its admiration though, the 747 would have many fatal accidents over its years of service. In this video we’re going to examine the first of these disasters. Lufthansa Flight 540.

thank you. I was there in Nairobi on that morning and remember the huge cloud of black smoke rising about a mile from where I was staying, didn't find out until a couple of hours later that it was the Lufthansa crash. There was a call for urgent blood donations on the radio and I remember going to the main hospital and giving them a pint. Over the years I have mentioned this disaster to many people and have rarely ran into anyone who has even heard of it.

It’s also Africa and as an African-American living in the states they seldom show news reports of other countries problems especially in Africa and other Black or African communities. It’s sad but unless we research and bring media attention to it these things don’t get on the news unless a white person specifically from the states was on board or involved then it would have been major news.

My father worked for KLM Nairobi at the time and had already left for work. He had an old WWII receiver with which we could catch the Tower and I used to tune in when I wasn't at school. I can't remember now the sequence of events in the Tower but I remember calling my father at the office to tell him. Terrible business.

I know it's an old thread, but the wings on an airliner are subject to flap fairly regularly just because the plane (I guess?) wants a stretch or something... Having had a seat or two over the wing (and the accompanied briefing for over-wing exits) watching just how much they flap was only unsettling the first couple times... nothing an in-flight beer didn't fix, though. ;o)

@brendonmoorhouse5118 Жыл бұрын

A few comments: 1) the aircraft hit an airport access road near the end of the runway, ripping off the rear section of the jet. The remaining fuselage spun 180 degrees so that ended up facing back towards the airport and setting fire to the left wing. 2) The engines did not need to be shut down - they had ripped off their mountings. 3) Flames did not initially enter the body of the aircraft. This happened after nearly all of the mobile passengers had left the aircraft, although there is evidence that some trapped people died in the fire. 4) No-one saw the pilot/co-pilot helping to evacuate passengers. The main people doing this were the steward and stewardess at the exit in front of the main wing section on the right of the aircraft. The only other working exit was over the main wing on the right. Tom Scott (the steward by the door) specifically discounted seeing the pilot helping and as he was by the main functioning exit, he would have known if he was being helped. I don't know of anyone that claims to have been helped out of the jet by the pilot/co-pilot.

It's interesting that despite the 747 having several serious incidents it never seemed to inherit the same reputation as like the DC-9. IDK what the numbers are in terms of deaths per flight or whatever but still, rather than being called the "death plane" like the DC-9 the 747 is an icon

I did not bring up the occupation of those two nations in my reply because I was thinking of the current situation in Ukraine. However, I see and acknowledge the fact that the United States has acted much like Russia - unfortunately, we went into countries that nobody in the world theater seemed to care about. We have also discussed how the same thing has happened to many African countries, and absolutely nobody else in the world gets involved or seems to care. Unfortunately, it seems as though a people’s worth (in the eyes of powerful countries) seems to depend upon whether they are a western nation and - horrifically - on the color of its peoples’ skin. It is not right, not at all. While I still support the people of Ukraine during this unprovoked invasion, I also see and stand with the people of Afghanistan, who are suffering from the war we precipitated there and our sudden withdrawal, and the people of Iraq, who are still dealing with the conflict that has ravaged their nation. War is always terrible - and often meaningless. I am so sorry if it has touched anyone you love, or a nation you live in and take pride in.

Do airline manufacturers design cockpits (ergonomics, function, etc) with no external inputs or do they gather external groups of pilots to give their suggestions for the most intuitive and functional operation within a cockpit? It seems so many designs are either lacking or poorly done that they are the result of only internal personnel. If only internal personnel were used ‘group think’ could take over or one dominant person could have too much influence over design. During design stages at NASA we had extensive brainstorming sessions with a variety of people with different areas of expertise inputing their ideas.

@@None-zc5vg they can be reassigned as often as you want (I think). Of course the aircraft which had the registration before has to either leave service or change registration but other than that it shouldn’t be much of an issue. Lufthansa did that with many aircraft families already, other airlines as well. The first letter of the registration code is prescribed and depends on the aircraft, the rest can pretty much be chosen by the airline and how they like it to be!

Yes, "iconic" is apropôs for the 747. "The Queen of the Skies" -- singularly responsible for the term "Jumbo Jet" and thumbing its 41-Section at Airbus's extravagant failure, the A-380. Just the right size, no new airports required! (duh!) The 777 *ALWAYS* had the folding wing as part of its design. I helped create videos of that feature when it was known as the "767-X" (kudos to the geniuses at Boeing's model department!!)

@JIMJAMSC 2 жыл бұрын

As much money at stake in accidents, the airline's reputation and overall horror, hiring a outside trained set of eyes similar to the numerous carrier deck checks would pay for itself easily. I remember a MD-80 crashed on t/o and icing on the wing was the cause. Here in Columbia SC, middle of summer on 100 degree days I would place a ladder at the root of the wing. Then visually look for ice. Then a crew member went up , looked and then ran his hand across the surface. Mandatory. Eventually the practice stopped but no more MD-80 icing accidents on t/o.

Of course it would be, that was just another indication of the pilots mistakes/stupidity. If I'm piloting a plane on takeoff and it's not accelerating and it's losing altitude, I'm going to be pushing on those throttle levers so hard it would bend them. Even if I thought they were already at full throttle. And that pilot knew they were not. Something was said about them worried about a vibration. What in heavens name are you more concerned about, damaging an engine or crashing! That plane was not even fully loaded. It could have powered its way right out, even in a incorrect takeoff configuration.

Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die. My heart goes out to every single Ukrainian and Russian soldier who has been hurt because of this, we don’t need war we need peace 😔

A combination of errors by air traffic control, pilots, and bird strike. The issue regarding Boeing design seems like a red herring.

Difficult choice: go to full power and risk engine damage or crash and burn? Let me see 🤔.

The flight crew thought that there had been a bird strike on an engine because of the vibration. I am told that increasing power could result in the engine fragmenting. They had around 2-3 seconds to try to figure out what had gone wrong - they had set the leading edge slats correctly, but were unaware of the lack of power to them, and at that time Boeing had no adequate warning system in place to tell them despite the same issue having arisen a number of times before.
