What No One Is Saying About Korea's Deadliest Plane Crash!

Jeju Air Flight 2216 was moments away from landing when something went terribly wrong. The pilots declared mayday and said they hit a bird. The aircraft touched down just 4 minutes later without the landing gear or flaps extended. They slid off the end of the runway and crashed, killing 179 of 181 people onboard the plane.

There's just no excuse for what happened and in this video I'm going to share the truth about what really happened and what no one is saying about this terrible disaster!

This was an absolutely horrific tragedy but it's a miracle 2 flight attendants survived! My heart and prayers go out to the victims and their families and my hope is the aviation community is able to learn from this to prevent future mishaps. If you want to learn about the 10 DEADLIEST Pilot Mistakes in Aviation History, then be sure to watch this video next

Retired 747 Captain here - You echo my thoughts exactly.
A *very* strange and seemingly unnecessary crash.

[RetiredPilot]

I had a bird strike (actually a goose ) on take off of a fully loaded 737-200 cargo aircraft. The weather was 200 feet overcast and 1/2 mile vis. Initially it compressor stalled and we lost some systems. We would have had a very hard time climbing out on one engine. The engine did not catch fire and remained running by reducing the power to about 50%. I was a training captain and was checking out another Captain who was new to the 737. His job was to fly the aircraft, mine was to manage the problem and work out a game plan. With 1 and 1/2 engines were were able to return to the airport and do a minimums approach and landing.
A couple of things in our favour, good training, CRM and two experienced pilots. One thing I had always stressed is not to shut down an
engine that is still working and we needed that partial engine that night.
After landing we inspected the engine and it was unbelievable that an engine with that much damage still produced some power.

I know nothing about flying or planes but you explain plane stuff perfectly and I understand everything you say. And you're very kind and compassionate.

Thank you for your professionalism on this video, pointing out other items I didn't think of. I am a Pilot myself, however, WE ALWAYS learn from others. I wish that CONCRETE barrier was not there. BTW, thank you for your service, I believe you were USAF flying F15E. Bobby USN Aviation.

With close to 10k hours on B737 I think this is the best explanation of the situation with the facts available at this moment, well done Hoover

[autoscape]

No one could ever accuse you of being rash or judgmental Hoover. You are a real pro. Looking forwarding to your analysis when more information is available. Outstanding work as usual.

[coolvi]

Possibly the most comprehensive video without jumping to any conclusion so far. Love the fact you extensively speak of the RSA.

[jamescoghlan]

Factual, objective, respectful. Your stuff is always watchable because you inform in a way novices can understand whilst avoiding sensationalism.

[Vanisle-cat]

You always acknowledge the lives lost and pain suffered in these videos, which is what makes it possible for me to watch them and learn, even though I'm "only" a passenger on planes. Thank you.

[matthewhill]

The pain of 179 souls lost is unimaginable. A very touchy topic few would dare approach but you have absolutely nailed it. Critical thinking and observations made with the right mix of respect and sensitivity backed by a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for your insight and rest in peace to those lost.

[robertoswalt]

Thank you for making an intentional effort to separate speculation from truth. You are someone I can trust because you don’t resort to hyperbole, or gimmicks to attract viewers and I appreciate that.

[lownow]

When this happened, one of my first thoughts was what Hoover would have to say about it. Didn't expect an off-schedule video though so thanks Hoover for giving us your always rational, expert and compassionate perspective in such a timely fashion.

Retired 737 Captain here. Your debrief was very good and considered all the issues. Accidents like this usually occur with the failure of three or more items. This one is no different with potential airport issues regarding birds and dirt barriers, normal airline procedures (eg. land if on approach and experience an engine failure (this may not have been the airline's policy)), pilot training standards and experience levels plus possible aircraft systems failure which may have a maintenance component. This was a terrible tragedy. The accident investigation will discover the reason why and as has happened throughout aviation history any lessons learnt will be added to pilot training and procedures to improve safety.

I've been flying for 24 years and I will never forget my first instructor for PPL saying, don't risk going around if the landing is a safer choice.

[bradshea]

Great job Hoover. Very informative and respectful. RIP to all lost in the tragedy.

[sidserv]

I am a retired B-1B, C-130, KC-135, A10, F-16, F-15C/D/E/SJ maintainer. When I first saw this and they said bird strike, my first thought after the bird strike they got over task saturated and changed checklists and didn't complete the landing checklist. I have a feeling that this one is going to be interesting when the black boxes are read.

[twogunrider]

Decision making and human factor in this kind of situations is actually the most important part.
impulsive and emotional decisions can bring you to a moment where you forget even the simple basics.

It's always easier to sit at home and saying what they should have done or could have done better.

It takes a lot of training, studing and practice to stay calm, analize fast, precise and bring the right decision.
On the other hand it is the routine that also brings a pilot to not thinking about the worse case.

I am talking in general, not specific for this accident.

It is a pleasure watching your videos Hoover. We can learn a lot from you.

Thank you.

You always approach the subject with respect. Top notch work.

Just a picky observation... a flight between two different countries - Thailand and Korea - is NOT a domestic flight.
