These mistakes are rare. You can fly with your eyes closed & wake up there. I see some people fall asleep before takeoff. I'm a window watcher and fly often. I find it exhilarating fun. I dont particularly love rollercoasters though even though they are on the ground somewhat. I flew to Las Vegas and got on one upside down ride. It was scary because I had never tried it before. Ill go again. But no plane ever felt like that plus you are inside in a plane. Try a short flight first to test the waters flutters. If you don't like it do not go back. My first trip was over water to Bermuda in 1973. Then whenever I could get off work. To puerto Rico then California Minneapolis Texas for military training on guess what? Planes F104 AD10 F15. Then cargo C141. With C130 next door in 1980. Then flight classes in Cessna 150. Then back to Las Vegas Hawaii & Florida & home to NY USA. Start local. Then expand. You'll see a lot of what you've been missing. Its fun. I never flew as a kid. I was 20. Now 69. Only watched planes land at JFK at 6 years of age.

When the lightbulb failed, I feel like that was enough reason to go around. Two people in the cockpit were completely out of the loop there, in a critical phase of flight.

@@stevenspilly The issue was that the captain was trying to fly a speed that works with flaps 20 with flaps 10. When you extend flaps you don't just increase drag you do the flaps primary function, increase lift at low speed. If the aircraft was in the correct configuration, the glideslope would likely have been maintained due to the additional lift generated by flaps 20. However, instead of this, the pilot noticed he was going too fast and slowed with flaps 10. less lift, same speed, same pitch resulted in a greater sink rate and hey ho, the 747 did forestry work.

I'd be interested to know if the pilots of the two aircraft were ex-military. Going through the records, researchers found some issues inherent with ex-military pilots who later become civilian pilots. Apparently, when emergencies develop, such pilots can be prone to defer to their military training, and try to deal with it 'on their own' as if they were in the cockpit of a fighter plane - and so not utilising the help of the other civilian crew, and even ignoring the help of co-pilots, etc. There's extra training suggested for ex-military pilots because of this. Does anyone know if this military-to-civilian conversion-issue was a factor in either of these incidents?

On commercial aircraft, the turbofan engines are very resistant. They are designed to withstand foreign object damage (FOD) and continue to run to achieve optimum performance. Back in the early 90s, as a mechanic, I was called out to inspect an engine on a US Air 737-300 regarding a bird strike. It did quite a bit of damage to the C-1 fan section and the core compressor. The pilot was there also telling me during take off , he had injested a large bird and noticed his number 2 engine parameters all went down and came back to up to normal operating parameters. He told me that he wanted to continue on but thought the best of it and return to the airport. I couldn't believe it as I looked at the heavily damaged engine. My hats off to the pilots.

Yes I would like to see a vidio of the near miss at Nairobi, and I really like watching your channel as it's so informative.

The MINI-ACI registration is such a nice detail

The best computer generated video I have seen to date. Narration is easy to understand and well spoken. I have one comment: you spoke of the near miss at Nairobi. In point of fact, it was a near collision.

GREAT JOB...WELL DONE!

Yeah we want a video on Nairobi incident... we'd love that..!!!! #flysafe

Also a stunning testament to the strength of the 747

The CRM in this case was top at some points. However I think the mishap was obvious and should they made a double check they would have caught that mistake. I am up for all possible videos of yours.

One of our C-130's had a bird strike like this. Unfortunately, the bird was sitting in a tree when it happened.

These morons hit a deer on takeoff from Ft Campbell, Kentucky, and then flew across the Atlantic Ocean. The right wheelwell was destroyed.

@@rickbanet4830 The aircrew was grounded. There's no way in hell they should've continued on, knowing they had hit a deer on takeoff. It took us 3 days to repair all the damage to that wheelwell. When it landed there was cooked meat in the brake pads, guts everywhere, and a frozen rack of ribs on the rear wall!! Yummy!!

British Airways was formed from BOAC, BEA and two regional airlines in 1974. BOAD was a fairly short-lived, transitional structure of BA's operations

I should add this accident occurred in 1976, the graphics in this video gives the impression it could be much more recent!

Another vid upload yessss!

It was called BOAC. British Overseas Airline Company. It may have been Corporation, but it certainly wasn't Division.

Thanks for the story! As I know Asia, it was not customary for anyone to have any insurances in 1976.. so yes poor guy. The guy in Washington State who lost his almost new car to a flying lump of dead whale was however insured.

Actually it was Florence oregon. It's amazing no one was hurt in that. Maybe he could do a mini disaster video on that. It does involve a flying whale right?

Yes of course I want to see a video about the near-miss at Nairobi!

I really enjoy your videos!

I'm a simple man, I see MACI post, I grab popcorn and watch

Great vlog as always! There has also been airplane accidents in Scandinavia too. In 1970/71 a Malev plane crashed short rwy 22 and landed in the drink. The rwy at Gøteborg Torslanda managed to get to two NB DC-6s w/o due to hard landings. This was in the late 60s. A DC-8 landed in the drink in 1969 at LAX due to a burned out light. Heard it before? A russian TU-154 CFIT at LYR/ENSB.

Awesome to be flown around by a marginally competent captain.

That's why situational awareness is absolute. And redundant backup. And always double x triple check. As a truck driver there is always situations available that want to destroy your world. We must be always vigilant. But show's just how robust the Boeing 747 truly is..!! Maybe that's why its Airforce One!!

Now I'm not saying it's their fault here, but the first should not have just let it go when the cpt asked for flaps 25. Yes, question then and ask "From 10?" And if you got no response, tap their shoulder coz they clearly for tunnel vision and say "Dude, are you sure from flaps 10?" Then the cpt will snap out of it as say "Yes, I thought we were at 20 already, gimme 10 and add spoilers, we need to slow down"

He also should've been watching the altitude, and speed. It sounds like the first officer was off in his own little world not paying any attention to where they were in the approach and the state of the aircraft which he was supposed to be doing. In a normal approach the pilot flying is able to focus heavily on the landing because the pilot monitoring is supposed to be checking their work, can still blame the captain some, but the FO should take the most blame IMO because he was ignoring his primary duties.

I've flown Flt 888 dozens of times in a 747-400 but different airline (PEK-SFO). In any case, great video. I hadn't heard of this incident. BTW. Check the audio at 5:20 and 5:50. seems contradictory about the Flt Engineer's thoughts about hitting / not hitting the ground.

I’m amazed that after hitting the tress, the B747 still flew to land. Kudos!

The airline was not BOAD, it was BOAC as shown in the thumbnail of the video. BOAC stood for British Overseas Airways Corporation and it was British government owned. Another British government owned airline was BEA which stood for British European Airways. The names of these airlines explain what they did with BEA doing short haul flights around the UK and Europe while BOAC did all the long haul stuff. Eventually the British government amalgamated the two airlines creating British Airways or BA as it is known. BA was eventually sold off by the British government and is now part of the International Airlines group. Thank you for an interesting and informative video.
