God Bless your family Sir

A handful of pilots paid the tuition for the rest of us who followed. We learned from those men.

This happened almost 39 years ago. 08/02/1985. I remember that day. Sad day for aviation history

I lived in Dallas when this happened. I remember the headlines were "Delta Go Around" from the controller. I didn't realize you could hear it on the CVR tape at the end

Sitting at the end of 17R awaiting takeoff clearance, the Captain asked me if there was anything in our flight manual dealing with approaching tornadoes. What we were actually looking at coming down the approach corridor just before the accident was the microburst itself looking exactly like any pictures you’ve seen. Back in 1985, there was very little windshear training, and very little if any knowledge of microbursts or the effects of. Fortunately, since then, the training of microbursts encounters and avoidance has evolved and hopefully we will never see a 191 crash ever again.

I feel for those pilots. Especially when they realized at full thrust they were dropping like a rock. They basically got pushed into the ground. I have flown on a Delta l1011 in and out of DFW. It is an awesome piece of engineering.

Every time I listen to this type of audio it gives me chills 😢

They sounded so calm even when they were losing control of the plane.

Poor guy passed away on his birthday.

I was at the Irving Mall in the parking lot on the south side ... listening to a new car stereo I had just put in .... I was watching the small storm ..it looked very intense for it's size .... apparently it was Minutes after the crash a huge cloud of smoke was visible so I turned on the radio and started hearing the reports Many years later I was living in Colorado near Aspen .... while driving to work through a section of tall pine trees outside of town - a microburst hit ...there was no intense storm just wind coming straight down //must have been at least 80 mph wind gusts ...About 20 pine trees were blown down within a quarter mile of me .... scared the living shit outta me ..several trees were blocking the road so I walked back to the house where I was renting a room and got a chainsaw so I could drive back home..... never forget that one

The second officers eyes looks scary and its staring at your soul💀

Was at DFW at the time - on my way to a wedding in Bartlesville.

If you are career professional pilot you've faced the decision to go around in this situation sooner or roll the dice and continue. Most of the time we've won that gamble, every now and then.....failure. Of course micro-burst recovery training has helped a lot. There but for the grace of God go I....

My 25 year old neighbor was on this flight RIP D

Yes, plane crashes seemed to happen regularly into the 1990s. They're not nearly as frequent now.

I live in Southern California and remember when this crash happened. I didn't know too much about microbursts then. 1985.

Good vid

WINDSHEAR! WINDSHEAR! WINDSHEAR! 😱

Very sad, and very unavoidable at the time.

Procedures and technology is different today. Today's Pilots train in simulators in this exact scenario. They tell me it was survivable and the plane could have easily flown through it if the FO had TOGA or firewalled the throttles earlier instead of trying to continue the approach. Read the NTSB report, says the same thing. Today we know better and train better.

dude the crew looks like from Mandela catalogue😵

At that time, very little was known about windshear, much less have any detection devices in the cockpit. In fact, this was the very accident that prompted research into the phenomenon, which eventually gave us windshear warning devices in the cockpit, and windshear detection on radar

No. Only if they had the training. The accepted procedure now is to increase pitch until stick shaker and do not change configuration. they didnt know that back then. Also, no matter how valiant your effort, there are situations where the aircraft cannot over come the microburst. Best is to avoid.

When you hear the engine power come up they should have left it up and went around. Instead they reduced power and lost the bird. Aviation learned a lot out of this accident. They didn’t die in vain. Microbursts are very dangerous.

It could have been avoided possibly if the Captain went the original path he was assigned. He requested another approach because he saw a storm on his original path into DFW. However that's a possibility we'll never know in our lifetimes.

While it was listed as pilot error, I saw a youtube clip that one of the investigators kept on after the investigation was closed to exonerate the pilots. My old neighbor was a FA for Delta and really feared bad weather. She said she would often bid flights with this captain as he would not knowingly fly into bad weather. in fact, if you listen to the ATC communications while he was just getting to Dallas, he requested a deviation around weather.
