The captain's name was Ingemar Berglund. He was my father. He started his career in the 50’s, flying as fighter pilot for ten years in the Swedish airforce. Since then working mostly as a cargo captain anywhere but in Sweden, preferring the Boeing 707, so he knew the jet well. I think it was his long military service flying jet fighters that gave him the instincts and cool headedness to land Transair 671 in one piece. For this feat he and the crew were awarded a RAF medal from the Queen of England. My father passed away from heart disease in May 2010. I am happy for this video that give recognition to me father’s accomplishment. Thank you. //Per Berglund

Your father seems like he was a great man. Serving his country and continuing to be a pilot afterwards he was able to safely land instead of crashing which may have killed many people. But in general I think it's great that the creator of this gave recognition to the crew. I want to let you know that your dad has to be waiting for you on the other side.

How wonderful!

I don’t remember the name of the Captain however, I have flown with the First Officer who was on the Trans Air flight as above his name is First Officer Martin Emery and he lives less than ten miles from London Gatwick airport. In a countryside English town in Surrey England. For his privacy I’m not going to mention which town. Martin has always been an aviation enthusiast if my memory serves me correctly he completed his first solo aged 16 years old and was the youngest Boeing707 pilot at the young age of 21 years old. Martin was a B707 test pilot and flew for the famous Freddy Laker CEO of Laker Airways Emery amassed around 17,000 flying hours total flying time and was rated on the B707 and the DC-10 aircraft he was active in his own private flying and owned several private aircraft owning a single engine French tale dragger and a couple of check built twin engine aircraft. I knew Martin Emery as a colleague and friend before and after the incident. I have been told the full story first hand from Martin and the re is a lot more to the story than has been told in the short documentary above. The Captain was the handling pilot but after the insistent was unable to hold the aircraft from rolling onto its back. It was the first officer who managed to save the aircraft from rolling on to its back. The aircraft was managed in the turns by throttling the remaining engines on the port wing in order to turn the aircraft which continually wanted to roll on to its back. Another point not mentioned was that when the insistent happened it was in cloud at flight level 290 and was climbing to flight level 330. The crew could see the sun coming through the thin lairs of clouds when the incident took place. The aircraft fell 8,000feet before they managed to bring the aircraft under a level of control. Crew on board to the best of my recollection was a total of five crew members The Captain, F/O, Flt/Eng Flt Loadmaster & Flt Mechanic ( ground engineer) flying with the aircraft Martin Emery is still around but has retired from Comercial flying today. But he can be found around local GA airfields in the local area.

That’s true. Martin Emerson was in the crew. After landing they drank each a full bottle of Scotch and then passed out. My father, Ingemar and Martin got severely drunk before falling asleep. Totally understandable under the conditions. The day after expertise flyed in from USA and Boeing, interrogating the crew about the incident. Both captain Ingemar Berglund and co pilot Emerson were in a severe hangover, yet the new information was placed in the new hand book. This crew set a new standard.

I was a university student at the time on an Erasmus exchange year with the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam - my student residence was actually just to the south of the city - the nearest tram stop was van Boshuizenstraat I remember it well to this day. That was maybe 5km from Bijlmer which was a rough area with big blocks of flats built in the 60s and by the early 90s (when I was there 93-95) was run down, poor, full of Moroccan immigrants, riddled with crime - not a place you would go and indeed neither did I - but a shock nonetheless to wake up one morning and find out a 707 had contacted terrain in that next door district... even me - a sheltered History of Art student enjoying the opulent pictures and other treasures by famous sons of Holland from the 16th and 17th Century - felt the atmosphere change for a while in an otherwise happy-go-lucky kinda place. It seemed cataclysmic at the time and certainly the front pages depicted scenes with which we are today more familiar with thanks to Russian activities in Ukraine 30 years later.....

One reason it’s not a well known incident is this 707 was a cargo airplane. No passengers. No one died. Even the freight on board survived, was recovered and delivered to its customers. But the plane was a write off. Also, the plane landed on a military base and was generally not accessible by the public.

Nice to hear about an incident where everything was done right

This story is yet another exhibit in why we still need two pilots today. It doesn't matter how much automation and system consolidation you have, two humans working together is always going to be helpful instead of one pilot being alone with dozens or hundreds of pax potentially fighting the computers.

That's a great point. But being as modern aircraft have "glass cockpits", everything that a Flight Engineer did can now by done faster by either the Capt or FO. All those screens that normally show heading, weather, airspeed, altitude and other basic functions, can go very deep into every system on the plane pretty much by scrolling thru the screens by just pushing buttons. For instance, when they check flight control surfaces, no one is looking at them on the outside to confirm anything. It just pops up on the flight control surfaces screen: check rudder, ailerons, flaps/slats, elevator..they just move the control surface and it shows them on screen what positions they are in, % of movement etc. I think you have the gist of what I'm saying.😁 Any of the actions you mentioned that the FE performed, can now be done by the two pilots and they change multiple things at once bc each pilots screen can do the same things separately if need be. The only thing about all this modern stuff is...These Airlines need to train their pilots on how to operate ALL the functions that these can perform before they ever get their ass in a pilots seat. A lot of airlines put students through their flight academies and throw them behind a yoke and let the Capt train them!! What if the Capt has had a charmed career or fast track promotion and never operated these systems? I'm just one guy who has the opinion that...a lot of preventable tragedies could've had positive results if they weren't just trained to take off, land, and set the autopilot.

@@patrickmollohan3082 Look up the term 'Children of the Magenta'. An AA chief pilot coined this at the end of the 1990s as flight decks became computerized and pilot training became less about 'aviate, navigate, communicate' and more about computer readouts. If you look at the bad 'third world' crashes, you see a lot of this. Also sites like 'You can see ATC' and VASAviation have recorded ATC incidents where one pilot is incapacitated and the other has to bring in the aircraft. The workload is tremendous on landing and ATC has to work extra hard to help that pilot. Easy to do in less busy airports like SYR...not so easy at LGA or EWR.

Thanks, I was unaware of this story, great job by the crew and resource management, and great video.

It's so seldomly that you hear about incidents where things went wrong but nobody died, where crew training and mechanical fail-safes work to get the plane onto the ground in one piece, where all the safety measures in aviation actually work as intended. Of course, it's always the cases where something went horribly wrong that causes a major accident, it makes it seem like a small mistake is all it takes to make a plane crash when in reality these incidences are rare, and often and often it takes many small mistakes coming together that lead to an accident. So thank you for digging up cases that nobody knows about.

At 1:17 when you say the cockpit was drenched in sound, that had some serious punch! I really loved that phrasing. Keep up the awesome work :)

Good God - never knew about this until now - thank you for the upload.

Flight 671 crew were very lucky they were near French Air Force Base 125 Istres when the engines loss occurred. Istres has got the longest runway in Europe (5000 m) and was qualified as a Space Shuttle Transoceanic Abort Landing site. As BA 125 Istres operates French refuelling tanker aircrafts KC135F and Airbus A330MRTT, the firefighters are on high alert 24/7. Double luck.

Nice video! Lots of best pilots never cited or appreciated for their Herculean Efforts. Nov '94? in G.R. MI NW Air Jet sitting still in sky flying Westerly just N. of I-96. Had driven thru G.R. just ahead of terrific storm and encountered bottom of terrible windshear swatting heavily loaded State Hwy Pickup into pvt bouncing up having picked up 25MPH to 85, then saw jet on approach. No traffic (everyone else smarter than me) so lit beacon, flashers, headlights, hung out window pointing at Capt. while swerving using both lanes and both shoulders. All of sudden jet went full throttle-picked up gear-put out more flaps-picked up nose slightly, then plummeted straight down like elevator to hell. I glanced backwards and saw jet disappear into woods with huge smoke, but several seconds later plane rose up out of woods having somehow dodged bullet. Glad, returned to sanity, but halfway to Lansing 2nd NW Airliner approaching flying W. way below minimums to N. of I-96. I thought "Oh No...not another one!", as Capt waggled wings gently while pushing piece of paper back & forth across side window, so realized this was the same insane Pilot saying "Thanks!", I flashed beacon, waved, & that was end of that. In Nov 96, after rescuing heart attacked Dad and Mom in Indiana driving them down to Tampa near winter home, I was marooned at TPA overnight waiting for Detroit SW Flight. Went to Pilots Lounge w/$5.92 ordering burger spl for $5 & sat down. Pair of SW Pilots & NW Pilots perched at next table & SW Capt wanted info on dangerous windshear for his 1st Ofcr from NW Capt. who began tale of G.R. incident. He paused as didn't remember which order applied emer measures. Me not being afraid of too pretty much offered "You went full throttles up, gear up, add flaps, picked up nose slightly, and disappeared straight down". Capt big guy so stood up, glowered over their table, snarling "And just how would you know that?" Responded "I'm the ahole in the orange MDOT pickup you mentioned...here, I've got I.D. to prove it"! Handed I.D. across, Capt eyed, voice broke, then said searchin' for you long time....would you like to join us at our table? Told him had ordered burger so he said "You look like a T-Bone man to me...we'll donate burger to someone that needs it." I wrote out all the details I knew on a nice hard stock paper dinner napkin, signed it, the 4 Pilots witnessed my signature. Lucky only worker back from lunch at 1PM when call came in for Project Mgr, so said no can do, but can have him phone upon return. He said "Is Erwin Schmidt there", and I thought I was fired, but he just wanted me to speak with NTSB Investigator. Investigator nice guy, had copy of "The Napkin" across his lap, and I was quizzed for details. He said Capt had no defense as both CVR and FDR failed as detour to Lansing and back over 30 minutes long, data lost, so my eye witness detailed account was needed to straighten things out. Everything checked out so he stated Capt would get over $300,000 back as on his nickel had to pay for retraining, flight tests, etc for each type NW flew, plus would get whatever wages he lost over last couple years as well. This differed with NW Air, FAA, NTSB, and GRPD's original sentences for his actions that day. Turned out because of steep plummet, when plane pulled out, it racked everything in/on it really good. Capt had no COM with Cabin as Flight Attendants all injured as had been doing last minute seatbelt checks so jammed into ceiling, & pullout had jammed them into floor. Radios out so no COM with tower, he had to fly somewhere, so looked around to vacant sky and chose to stay low and head back towards Lansing to check for existence of State Hwy Truck finding me on way back to G.R. 1st Ofcr sheltered in place whimpering as thought he was dead, Capt on own so gave himself landing clearance in G.R. pulling up to correct gate. Still no COM with Tower, Cabin, or 1st Ofcr, so could hear NW Staff apparently tending to injured and deplaning passengers. Finally Staff came after 1st Ofcr hauling him off on stretcher and when plane's systems finally shut down, Capt was truly alone. At top of ramp he scooted down that little staircase for late luggage etc, and glanced back at wings and they sagged instead of that snappy upright Vee. Capt noticed some things sticking out of plane's belly, was trying to pull one of the tree limbs out when GRPD Ofcr. slapped cuffs on him stating he was under arrest for tampering with evidence and leaving the scene of the accident. Capt was hauled upstairs into terminal, marched past many of his passengers and others, ending up at the FAA Office. FAA Ofcl asked GRPD Ofcr to remove cuffs and he was sat down with 4 Grand Inquisitors asking him all kinds of questions, most of which he had no answer for. On further review plane had 5 breaks in wing spar, metal on wings stretched the heck out, plus cabin and much of electrical system pretty torn up. If Capt's initial reaction had taken place 1/100th of a second later, it would have been a disaster as they would not have been able to charge him!! Anyways...that's how they treat the best, ballsiest, and most conscience pilot, at least in Michigan. Even though wind shear like nearly ate planeload of passengers was not possible there, after Denver, G.R. got one of the 1st Doppler Radar sites in the nation! Wasn't that lucky!!

This accident is eerily similar to the El-Al cargo crash of a 747 after takeoff 🛫 from Amsterdam Schipol, which I believe happened almost 7 months later nearly to the DAY!! The #3 engine broke away due to fatigue cracking & hit the #4 engine causing it to break away as well. Unfortunately that crew wasn't as lucky. Only a few miles from the runway while on final, the aircraft stalled, rolled over, & slammed through a massive apartment complex, killing all 3 crew & many more on the ground...so this crew was EXTREMELY lucky.

@@jiyushugi1085 I'm not saying they weren't highly skilled...but they were lucky because that incident happened at nearly cruising altitude while the El-Al pilots experienced it just a few min after takeoff. Being at an altitude where the pilots could have time to diagnose the problem with thousands of ft of altitude to resolve the problem vs being at 7,500ft is well, pure luck. That's what I'm sayin' is all.

As mentioned in the video, El Al 1862 suffered the same fate. But the crew never knew they had lost both engines on the right wing. They managed to maintain control over the 747 as they tried to return to Schiphol Airport. But when they extended the flaps and slats to prepare for landing, the plane veered out of control, rolled hard to the right and slammed into a large apartment complex. The flaps and slats on the right wing were partially inoperable or torn off when the engines went, also taking the hydraulics needed to operate the flaps on the outer part of the right wing.

Right. Read about the incident on March 31 1993 when Evergreen 46E, a 747-121 (N473EV), lost one engine climbing out of Anchorage. With the other engines at full power they barely made it back to land. All the engine out procedures presume nothing else happens, like the engine doesn't smash the leading edge flat on its way out thus leaving you with a speed brake where the wing should be.

What I love about your channel as well as « Aerospace » and « TheFlightChannel » is that you cover pretty much unknown landings that were literally _tours de force_ ! Thanks to you I got to hear about the Olympic Airlines Flight above Athens in 1978 that almost ended up in disaster! It’s a shame popular shows like ACI and Seconds from Disaster don’t cover them as many people can learn a lot from these great feats!

Capt. Ingemar Berglund performed like a hero under crushing pressure. Not taking away from Capt. Berglund's remarkable feat in safely landing this otherwise doomed aircraft, but the entire flight crew were heroes. They were shining examples of flawless teamwork and exemplary CRM. Each man did their job with amazing skill under unbelievable pressure. Much respect to the late Captain Berglund, First Officer Martin Emery, and Flight Engineer Terry Boone!

As usual you did such a great job with explaining and with graphics. I think we would all agree that this crew was outstanding and that this story should be more know. Thanks for bringing it to light.

Superb captain.!He was trained well - wrong time to be panicking.

I wondered how #3 could impact #4, but then I remembered. It's a jet. It kept producing thrust momentarily. It jumped ahead of the plane and veered to the right.

It only needed to go sideways and back. These engines are heavy too, so it doesn't take much differential speed to provide a massive impact and wipe out the other engine.

Oh, it does. Note in that diagram that engines are mounted on shear pins (like a fuse) on purpose - better have an engine fall off the plane than shake apart the whole wing, if something goes horribly wrong. Except sometimes what goes wrong is simply the shear pin itself...

If you want suggestions of accidents to cover, take a look at first air 6560, tarom 371 and air inter 148. They are all pretty interesting and the last two seem right out of a final destination movie

An amazing team of guys. Calm and utterly professional.

By the sound of it the crew just took it in their stride like many airforce pilots they react very quickly and remain calm under pressure. They probably thought this was just part of the job. Amazing and wonderful story of heroism in my opinion. Nice to see a good ending on plane accident vids.

Fascinating case worthy of a longer vid and even Air Crash Investigation on Discovery. Case study for all pilots in airmanship.

I remember reading about this in an aviation magazine in the 90's. From memory the fire became a real big problem on approach. (Crew basically realised they only had one chance at the approach and landing.) I knew at the time the crew had achieved something remarkable getting themselves on the ground without injuries.

@cageordie

Right. They knew they had fire and couldn't trust the flaps, so more speed was required, and then there's the engine out control speed, so they had to be fast on landing. If they'd dumped full flaps like the simulations shows they'd have rolled over and died.

Amazing video! I never heard of this one before.

Awesome flight & crew. Cheers!

Excellent video about an excellent crew!!! With so pilots and crew doing the wrong things, nice to see tragedy averted.

191 was horrible and goes down as worst US lifes lost to accident. I lived 10 miles from site. If the pilots kept speed up the could've avoided stalling wing, but had no way knowing flaps dropped from hydraulic failure, let alone knowing engine dropped.

Dear pilots and crew. We don’t know who you are but big thumbs up and well done for this amazing feat of skill and courage. May you all be blessed 💖

That was a really good video mate ,

I read of this incident in the RAF Flight Safety magazine "Air Clues" many years ago. Many years later, I searched in vain for details of the incident after recounting the detail (as far as I could remember) to a pilot friend of mine. I could find no mention of the incident, nor could I manage to get hold of the relevant copy of "Air Clues". So glad to finally find this video - many thanks indeed.

I met an Airbus delivery pilot about 30 years ago, and got a tour of a new 320. He went through the flight controls, and then pointed to a small knob in the center: that knob turned on the autopilot and he explained that the plane could fly itself, including taxiing to and from the gate (if the airport was configured to support it). This pilot explained that modern passenger airplanes did not need pilots to fly them because of all the systems and redundancies in place - pilots were employed to ensure that passengers felt safe by seeing humans actually flying the plane. However, when I pointed out that experienced, well trained pilots could arrive at a unique solution to a problem by “instinct” rather than through an algorithm, he admitted that humans still held an advantage in that department, and that in a crisis split second decisions could be the difference between success and disaster... This example just confirms this: a computer would be like “DAFUQ??!!! WE ARE DEAD!”

@@ianchandley I think you were either misled or this wasn't true. Airbus did their autonomous taxi tests last year. It has not been performed commercially once. Also all current commercial aircraft do not take off on their own and 99% of flights do not land on autopilot. Autopilot is reserved for low visibility operations and has distinct wind limitations.

Mini ACI, another EXCELLENT reconstruction and investigation of a 'lost' incident. You have come a long way in a short time. 🌷🌹And kudos to the other commenters who have provided the names of the flight crew and more of the history for Mini. 🎁 This incident should be better known as an example of piloting skill and CRM. (I also believe a 3 person cockpit came in REAL handy!)

Great narration! 😀😀😀 Great story!

From the Wikipedia article on Istres-Le Tubé Air Force Base: "On 31 March 1992, a Boeing 707 of Kabo Air, a Nigerian company, made an emergency landing at Istres after engines 3 and 4 had separated from the wing in turbulence at 35,000 feet. The aircraft performed a flapless, downwind landing with a touch-down speed of nearly 200 knots and the right wing on fire from the pouring fuel. The gear failed and the aircraft slid off the far end of the runway, but the crew of five survived and the cargo was saved. The incident brought to light severe deficiencies in Kabo Air's operations - the aircraft had passed mandatory maintenance and was overloaded." The article says Kabo Air, not Transair, but there's no doubt it's the same accident. There are three references, one of them the report in French from the BEA, and they all say it was Transair.

World Airnews magazine had an article on the incident many years ago, including pictures. I have no idea what date however.

Great job indeed! And luck also. You always need luck: El Al had the same kind of problem in Amsterdam but couldn't make it although the pilots were good as well. I was a test pilot in Istres and I can tell you that it's very rare to land on RWY 15 due to strong North wind most of the time. When you see the photos of the damage on the plane in the BEA report, it's not sure that they could have flown a complete pattern to land on RWY 33. God was on their side ...
