Everyone lived. Lives are more important than machinery. What might have happened 'if' is only conjecture.
Pilots only have seconds to make such decisions. It’s always easy in retrospect to critique. Blessings.

Critiquing is the whole point of accident investigations if there's any pilot error. Which there is about 75 % of the time.

That wasn't my point.Read my comment again. I gave no opinion about that particular incident and what the pilot should or should not have done. I'm not an expert in that area. Accident investigators ARE. My point was that since pilot error is a factor in about 75 % of aircraft incidents/accidents, critiquing is valid. It often leads to recommendations about how pilots should handle specific situations. It can, and has, lead to changes in emergency check lists. And changes in pilot training.

It seems the pilot decision was correct. If both engines didn't fail one does.

This is a perfect example why flight attendants are trained to prepare for an unexpected emergency for EVERY take-off and EVERY landing. Why do passengers resent that? It boggles my mind!
What a smart Captain. Thank God for him. 😊
with so few seconds left to take the correct action... a voice alert stating "left turbine failing", or both or right one only, etc might come in handy instead of having to rely upon gathering all the information necessary when you are in a hurry in such a stressful situation ...

and / or the computer saying... statistical data recommends '... continue to take off', so as to take a bit of responsibility off from the pilots shoulders when you are too close to the ground and no time left almost... (if they have more time and or altitude they can decide to override the computer if they knew better...)

Guys….. 1970. No audible warnings on commercial jet aircraft. Certainly no computer systems

R.I.P.
Working with what he believed he had (2 failed engines), I can't fault the captain's decision to put it back down. There was, however, a breakdown of SOPs. When the left engine failed, the captain was the pilot monitoring. Since they were past V1 (and V2) the PF should have maintained directional control and climbed out no slower than V2 and the captain (PM) should've assessed the problem and began to work it at a safe altitude. That didn't happen, however, and thankfully there was no fire and no fatalities. There are a lot of airports where that wouldn't have been the outcome. PS As an airline pilot, I had my one and only engine failure (a catastrophic failure) on take while departing KPHL. (RWY 27L)
Thanks for actually showing simulations of the incidents. Most other channels don’t.
You all do an awesome job at recreating and the visuals are top notch !! This has become one of my top favorite channels ✨️✨️👍👍
If I was on that flight I would consider that crew hero's, there was not time to figure out the entire situation, so give them a break ffs.......everyone lived everyone went home!!! Sometimes thinking out of the box and using instincts is the better way!

I'm very happy you're alive to tell the story
As long as no-one was hurt everything else is secondary. You have seconds to react. You don't have all the information you need. The pilot did what he had to work with and good job.
One minute detail is in error. The video indicates the year is 1970 but, UAL didn’t adopt the Saul Bass livery until 1974. It’s okay though.

I was just about ready to make a comment on that when I read your statement. I think Saul Bass was starting to be applied in 1974

It is possible that the aircraft in the reconstruction did not have the livery used by the accident aircraft, they used the “Saul Bass” livery instead as a replacement for the “Stars and Bars” livery

you make great videos.
This gives a striking resemblance to U.S airways flight that basically crashed the same way in Philadelphia In March 13 2014
This happened 54cyears ago and the title of the video makes it seem like NOW. Despicable click bait.

You sound like someone who hates flowers, fresh air and little children. And it's BAIT.
Excellent video as always. However the scheme in 1970 for United was blue and red, maybe the Friendship livery? The one used in video was introduced in the latter half of the 70’s.

I didn't think anybody else had seen that movie. The pier was supposed to be taken away, but the contractors went on a hunting trip. Thus the pier caused a fatal air crash. Decent film.
No aviation experience, but it might be time to install cameras so pilots can see the engines and wings.
United Airlines flight 611 crashes on takeoff at Philadelphia Airport. There, I corrected it for you.
Excellent video! Nice work!
The particular United "Tulip" livery design on this aircraft in this video is incorrect for the time period of 1970. In 1970, United was still using their iconic "Friendship" livery, not this one.
As United Airlines did not yet have the tulip logo in 1970, this video must have been shot at least 4 or more years later. United's 1970 logo was the red, White & blue 4 star friendship logo.

This video was a computer simulation and often many of the details will not match reality.
Look at that Ford Maverick!
What simulator are you using?
You can hear the GPWS warning in your simulation, but this wasn't active until late 1974. They wouldn't have the whop whop pull-up notice. 🤔
My understanding is the Captain was fired but eventually regained his job in arbitration.

This aircraft is 63 years old so if the video was uploaded one day ago ?? Where did you get the video from
United didn’t have the large titles in 1970.
So, if you were certified to fly this 737 you are certified to fly the current models without further training?

Boeing tried that with the 737 MAX with horrible results and much loss of life.
Boeing blames everything on others!!!
This is either AI or ancient because United Airlines do not fly 737s anymore plus these are their old colors from over a decade ago.

You should not believe everything you see or hear. But is was likely a "reasonable" replay of what happened using a computerized flight simulator. In the 1970s nobody had cell phones with cameras in them. Thus real videos of such dramatic events are usually not available.

Yeah, DEI made the engine fail. Panic likely made the pilot fail. Mistakes are often gender- neutral.
