So difficult to watch. My husband’s mother was on Turkish Air 981 on 3rd of March, 1974- the 50 year anniversary just passed 2 weeks ago. She was British, returning from Istanbul on British Airways, but was diverted to this flight due to the strike. My husband was 17, & had 2 brothers 14 & 20. Their father had remarried & was not involved in their lives. They didn’t know she was on this flight, & the 14 year old was excited to have volunteered to take the tube to meet her flight. There was no crisis management or protocols in those days. Her BA flight said cancelled but there was mayhem & confusion at the airport in London. The brothers collectively figured out she was on the plane that had crashed. My husband & his older brother went to an air hanger in Orly, France, to look at bodies & parts of bodies to see if they could identify their mother, which they could not. There were aisles of tables set up with passengers belongings & they took what they identified as their mother’s. Not just the loss, but the aftermath had a profound impact on these 3 boys lives. The youngest ultimately, in an indirect manner, lost his life as a result. My husband says not a day goes by he doesn’t relive that day. In tragedies like this, most people who haven’t experienced anything similar, focus on the tragic loss of life…but most tragic are the loved ones left behind.

GE fired my husband because he refused to take 'engineering shortcuts'. Those shortcuts' killed people. He grieved to death. Now i grieve.

These corporate suits should be in prison for decades.

the same corporate environment that created the dc 10 also created the 737 max

The 'run of the mill' design engineers put their heart and soul into the job. It is the senior management and finance side of the industry who cause the most problems.

"Boeing learned their lesson..." Um, about that....

The "Pilots got lucky" is both true and wildly giving those pilots less credit than they deserved when they had to fight their DC9 back to the ground. They had to literally pull those cables free with just their own strength. They sawed through the thing crimping the cables. It was insane.

I am not afraid of flying, I am afraid of suddenly hitting the ground

One minute your chilling in your seat...the next you are hurtling through the air towards the earth..what a way to go man 😔

49:00 and here we are,40-60 years later having the same issues as when it all started,doors blown at mid air,tires falling off on takeoff,pilot and copilots napping while driving 😮‍💨

These are not the results of engineering errors. These are the results of corporate errors...

Twa 800, the moment they mentioned the teenagers, it hurt. Those teenagers, my mothers friend, her best friend, died that day. She can't talk about it 30 years later. She's still hellbent that her friends were victims of terrorism and I don't blame her

Being a Technical Airline Investigator must require amazing experience, education and street sense. Incredible people.

It is amazing that they can reconstruct planes from wreckage.

You can't predict the unpredictable but you can anticipate the unexpected and plan around that.

Don't know much about airplanes engineering, but it's 😢to hear all these people lost their life.

TWA 800...what a horrible tragedy! 😢

23:41 recently Boeing airliner had its door fly off mid air. Recently media undercover journalists interviewed engineers working in Boeing, who said they didn’t trust flying with Boeing aircraft. That is huge.

I'm surprised it didn't include Swissair 111. That was a horrific error in design

I have closed these "Hold 5" doors hundreds of times. The system is to press a lever until the door closes.Then keep closing the door until a small indicator light turns off. Then the pull a large lever down to close the latch. But If the door is not fully closed, I wonder if it is displayed in the cockpit!

So tragic, especially when crashes are avoidable. The only comfort is that changes were made that will save lives in future. My heart goes out to the loved ones of all those who died in these avoidable crashes. Also, kudos to the pilots of the British Triple 7 who landed their plane and all lives saved.

This is just heartbreaking to watch... ❤❤❤

TWA 800: NOT the FBI's most shining moment. 🙄😠

I flew on a few DC-10s back in the day, luckily enough for my family and I the cargo door never blew off the side of the plane...

The Turkish Airlines flight was in 1974, 50 years ago. The TWA flight was in 1996, 28 years ago. Sensational video titles (people falling from planes😮) with content from half a century ago for clickbaiting.

Seems like they should build the planes with whatever they built those voice recorders out of, those boxes survive everything every time the planes crash.

I keep on seeing this stories about tragedies and weird stuff happening in planes it makes me not want to fly at all ever.

Reminded me the story about the flight of United Airlines 811. The same problem with the laggedg door and the door construction looked similar

The wreckage was so fragmented that it was difficult to determine whether any parts of the aircraft were missing before it crashed. Post-crash fire were small because there were few large pieces of the aircraft left intact to burn. Of the 346 passengers and crew on board, only 188 bodies were identifiable (40 of which were identified visually), with rescue teams recovering some 20,000 body fragments in all.

"A boom in air travel", poor choice of words.

And this is why I keep my feet firmly on the ground, I'll never set foot in a plane. Famous line from the Mummy Returns: Why can't you people ever keep your feet on the ground?

Could you imagine walking out your front door to leave for work and there's a row of seats with bodies strapped in and it's in the upright position facing the street? And there's nothing unusual all around your house and I don't know about the plane accident.

I have always found it strange that no one has ever been found to be accountable.

PLEASE when making these type of sensational videos and films stop adding such unpleasant noise competing with the narrator's voice. Listeners do not need to be wanged out with such unpleasant loud and background noise.

Corporate Greed is not Engineering Error

Very sad disaster to the families who lost lives. Almighty rest their souls in internal peace.

Boeing whistleblower did NOT kill himself.

TWA800 was shot down.

Excellent doc like always

Boeing- "The New McDonnel Douglas"

Why is the Ice Pilots advert three times the volume of the documentary?...it's annoying.

WATCHING THESE AIR DISASTERS, I AM COMMITTED NEVER TO TAKE ANOTHER PLANE.

Flt 800 was shot down by the US Navy by accident.

wow Tripple 7 Safety history is remarkable...13 years without a single accident up to 2008, and still the 2008 accident, no lives were lost...extraordinary!.

What gets me is sometimes it's a small thing that brings the plane down. Might be where a mechanic doesn't put the washer on, so the bolt will drop.

The best. Way to avoid dying in an aircraft crash is to not fly !

“The crash of TW Flight 800, initially suspected as terrorism, is revealed to be due to a cargo door blowing open mid-flight, leading to cabin depressurization and loss of control.” What???

Excellent documentary. Thank you.

People have to remember, this video is about design failures. The one constant in aircraft accidents, is that AIRCREW ERROR has ALWAYS been the highest reason for crashes, by far. So, this video, is a drop in the ocean. The worst accident in history, Tenerife, was aircrew error.

Brand New Brand New Mayday! Enjoy watching, but Truly scared to Fly anymore. 😨 Just goes to show, Life is precious.❤

It also amazes me why the flight and voice recorders are not made to float when there is a crash or inflate a large baloon to indicate their location more easily.

When aeroplanes explode mid air, especially over an ocean, it amazes me that any body parts get found.😢

"It's caused by some sort of a bomb, obviously". FBI spokesman. 👎

I was on holiday on long Island when this happened and i remember not being allowed to go near the beach. It was cordoned off because of the crash. Rip 😢😢

Flight 800-several Navy pilots with war experience were on the ground, and reported that they saw a missile trail rise up and strike the plane, most witnesses were ignored, or discounted. It was a missile, probably an accident, not terrorists. Read the book. Complete whitewash of this tragedy.

the first few flights I took as a child were all on DC10 Airplanes, after the crashed had happened. I never gave it a second thought. 👍👍 Great video

Excellent investigation and narration...

the title seems to be wrong lol

I remember when flying in a DC10, was risky.. 😕

I used to work doing weight and balance for eastern airlines. Figuring out where to put cargo, bags, amount of fuel for flight for round trip on short haul flights, wind direction , runway, flaps settings and centre of gravity. My favourite was airbus airplanes. Always made sure my numbers were correct before releasing the flight. Used to get American flight from Chicago to handle it while on the ground. It was a big hassle to work those flights. They were DC10.

(In a dramatic voice) ~ Engineering Error ~

Beautifully done documentary

I found that very interesting, it’s 8n credible how they put these huge plane jigsaws together - especially the planes that burst into flames. thank you.

OMG how many adverts are you going to stick in these things KZfaq... worse than free to air tv. I should have counted them. crazy.

What about the door and the wheel that fell off

Happy New year WeMol

Inadequate maintenance is NOT an engineering error.

These individual crashes are horrific and the loss of life incalculable, but when you think of the who knows how many millions of passengers who’ve been safely flown from the beginning of civilian flights, the total numbers of people killed pale in comparison.

There is No passenger falling out of a plane. No idea why this is in the title.

WONDER You must change the title; this content is not about Turkish Airlines. The current headline is damaging Turkish Airlines' reputation!

Changes in air safety is offen written in the blood of those who DIED.

Don't you check the door even if it closes?🤔🤔

If it's not Jonathan Aris, I'm not watching.

It's amazing that a streak from the ocean is completely buried, and so is the fact that airline voltage doesn't reach a temperature that could ignite fuel. I was living a few hours away when this happened, and lifetime pilots were calling into major radio stations outraged saying this could not have happened.

Who in their right mind would run electrical wires through a fuel tank?

"The need to make money" - Well, some money? Yes. But not the greedy kind of money that everyone has been after for a long time, almost everywhere in every company in the world. Lives should be worth more than greed

1:37 at New York's JFK International Airport on July 17th, 1996 TWA Flight 800 is preparing for departure from New York to Paris, but the flight has been deploy one of the passengers are checked bags but not yet boarded

Makes one feel all warm and fuzzy about trusting any planes

RIP John Barett

The DC10 the engine fell of due the mounting cracks. The blame was put on the airline but they didn’t say why. Were the mountings supposed to be checked for cracks but weren’t?

Emter the Boeing 737 Max...

I flew with my family in a DC10 from NZ to Singapore in 1971. I guess we were all lucky to make it out alive.

I prayed for the victims of some airplane disasters that their souls rest in peace, and still we pray 🙏 for a safety flight ✈️ for traveller in our aviation’s industry for protection .

Unfortunately because of all of the failures, that is why our science of flight is so much safer today than it ever has been. It’s only going to get better until the next time. Then they learn again.

Require passenger aircraft cargo doors to be like the exit doors. Have Cargo planes be able to secure the cockpit cabin with a safety system if you have to have a outward type door system!

I was electrician more than 25 years ago & this message will not be nothing new for you,but from time to time is good to remember the basics. In electromotor winding we use the silicone wire's(we called it's S/F wires) silicone isolation is soft& we put over its glas isolating buzzer to protect the wire of mechanical damage.Both isolation exposed in open fire don't burns,goes in dust but don't burns. In house installation exist the rule: low voltage,signalization,indicating instalation ( telphone,antenna.....) must be away from power instalation minimum 10 centimeters because the electromagnetic field in power wires has influence on signal in signalization wires.

We all heard about the Boing shortcuts from that whistleblower who recently made "suicide"!

Oh My....😢

Watching airplane !crashes it appears that more lives are lost than in car crashes!!!

The rearranging 1975 part was f**ckin funny! I remember 1975 the exact same way. Now look. Quite a big difference. Mayday and your writing on this one is Super awesomeness! The past was a crazy place. The seventies were just getting started..

I will never forget this crash. I was sleeping and I saw myself jumping from a plane with two children into water that was filled with sneakers and teddy bears, I glanced to my left and I saw the US navy ships, my daddy's ships. It was a flash dream, I will never forget it. I called my mom at 2am and I told what I saw, she told me to be quiet (I don't think she believed my experience) she said, if something does happen they will come to you for answers. I went to bed. 9am the next morning mom called and asked me to ck the news. It really did happen

Recently boeing door also blown off in same instance

Why are they using an Airbus cockpit to depict a 777’s?

This sorta reminds me of what happened on the Boeing when the emergency door came off during flight. Those people were very lucky they didn't up in a tragic situation like this. Just horrible tragic event. I feel so sorry for the families of these passengers and flight crew.

I remember a sense of dread whenever you found out the plane you were scheduled to be on was a DC 10.

The most devastating indictment of the slipshod engineering of the DC-10 I’ve seen yet. The DC-10 not only had an inherently unsafe cargo door, but MD violated every precept of redundancy and fail-safe design. A single point of failure resulted in catastrophic loss. No pressure vents to prevent the floor collapse during explosive decompression. No check valves to prevent hydraulic fluid loss. Positioning fluid lines and control cables such that they can all be severed at one go by shrapnel. A totally unairworthy shitbox that should never have been certified to fly. The DC-10 apologists continue to blame the baggage handler or bad maintenance when the truth is staring them in the face.

This headline is absolutely confounding and trying to hurt Turkish Airlines, which happens to have an excellent record. You should make the headlines like "Engineering Errors in Aviation History".

Tuned in for the thumbnail about the Turkish Airlines flight outta hee

I heard 3 distinctive "BOOMS" that fatal night.I thought someone was shooting off fireworks at the beach.Little did I know it was Flight 800 blowing up. RIP to all Souls on board that night.😢🙏

DC-10’s were like the Ford Pinto 😳
