A Pilot Is Stunned to Find Out How Low His Plane Actually Is 😧 Air Disasters | Smithsonian Channel
Ойын-сауық
August 14, 2013: A last-minute runway switch and a non-responsive autopilot convinces the pilot of UPS 1354 to land the plane himself. Suddenly, he realizes just how close to the ground he is-but it’s too late.

The chances of getting in a plane crasy is 0.00000009% out of 1 million, don’t be nervous you will be fine, ATC watch’s every step you take, pilots is trained and flight attendants are trained in any situations. I’m working on to become a pilot for UPS.
2:32 The way she says "Oh my god!" is very heartbreaking, I almost fainted.
Going into BHM they always left us high and slam dunked us. This happened consistently to us and when this accident happened I felt that was part of this crews unstabilized approach. The captain also failed a checkride due to poor no precision approach performance.

There are two shows I used to watch all the time as a kid after school: "Dogfights", and "Air Crash Investigation". The former has the same CGI creations, as they analysis historical air battles and each plane's manoeuvres. The latter is, well, what's in this video. Both of them are fantastic watches, even if their visual effects are painfully outdated by today's standards. That all being said, I believe they're restarting Air Crash Investigation!
I would hate to be working the OD&D desk that day!
I love the reconstruction.
The lesson here is don't try and salvage a bad approach, go around and set it up again. Getting behind the airplane in instrument meteorological conditions (in the clouds) is a recipe for disaster. Very tragic.
I honestly did not know Birmingham had an airport, or that UPS flew planes from my hometown to there.
There goes my express packages up in flames
I don’t why I keep watching there some interesting about solving plane crashes
R.I.P To these 2 Pilots from the UPS 1354 Crash. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That’s really sad cries
My understanding is when something says the landing is dangerouse if you have the ability to safely stay in the air you immediately abort the landing.

it was a false reading by the autopilot showing on the screen their altitude so the pilots manually descend the plane not knowing how close they already were im not blaming airbus for this mistake it was a malfunction

I wonder what would a driver think of a airbus 300 10meters above their head
I'm from KY and Louisville is right down the road
I did not like playing since I watch videos like this😭😭😭
thats where my box is
everyone knows how ups delivers
2:25 geez drivers must've been in for a show on the road below the plane there.
2:23 POV: You are eating at a road restaurant and a plane casualy pass up to close of the ground
When the female pilot heard Notice to airmen she was like 👁👄👁
The cameraman really catching eveythings
Sorry, your Amazon package can't be deliver this Thursday because it crashed landed somewhere near Alabama. We will try to deliver it tom.... you know what never minddd.
Where’s the rest of the story?
First time seeing an airbus crash on this channel 😂
Why the hell didnt the warning system kick in a lot earlier, saying they are too low... It began nano secs before the first treetop was hit... And where was ATC???
Smithson can keep the 💃 outro in their main channel but in the aviation one keep it dark 🖤
Average day at UPS:
This episode just aired and I am shocked that the plane had two runways activated at the same time without warning. We started to land on two runways at the same time and the plane was like "ok". The signals should have screamed loudly that something is wrong.

plane was preparing saws to cut in half for landing?
If the rate of decent was slower and if it wasn’t tilted it might have had at least a higher chance of surviving the impact

Have you ever been in a car wreck of anykind, even with minor damage and low speeds like 30mph; you could experience back and neck pain for days or weeks after. Now imagine sitting in an aluminum tube as it crashes at speeds of 100+ mph, look at all the damage to the front end of the plane.. blunt force trauma will certainly kill you in a crash like this even if the plane is somewhat intact.
2:32 most dramatic oh my god I've ever heard in this show.
I guess they forgot to put the landing gear on
I think that’s why my package is late
