A Landing at a Windy Japanese Airport Goes Horribly Wrong 😱 Air Disasters | Smithsonian Channel

Despite the blustery conditions, the pilots of FedEx Flight 80 appear relaxed and even jovial as they bring the plane down at Narita Airport on March 23, 2009. Seconds later, the plane is in flames and both pilots are dead.

SANG-CHI started with such humble beginnings. He didn't know he was a measly ATC Controller before he discovered his true power.

[SLR]

After he escaped from his father, Shang Chi started his job as ATC in Japan and then a car parker in USA.

[bunkyd]

I can’t believe Shang-Chi invented airports.

[joecrammond]

in case anyone is wondering, the co-pilot was late in flaring which caused the plane to bounce, overreacted and pushed the nose down causing the plane to crash

[zatchbell]

Totally blown away seeing Simu here. Such a “small” role and he acted it like a “big” one. As the venerable Konstantin Stanislavski said, “there are no small parts, only small actors.”

[KamuzXDriver]

Sangchi made it far. First working at Kims convenience, then ATC, then a super hero now

[aerospaceengineering]

Who clicked this video seeing SANG-CHI in thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣

[Interdictiondeltawing]

Fact: the guy who played ATC controller played as Shang chi

[novadyaomah]

P.O.V: You recognized ATC as Shang Chi

The tower definitely can save the plane with 10 rings

From Wikipedia: The accident was attributed by the JTSB to a series of "porpoising oscillations" that developed during touchdown, [22]: 97  following a high sink rate during the final approach. The first officer executed a late flare, in which sink rate was not suppressed until the plane was nearly on the runway, but which also would minimize "float" that might carry the plane further down the runway and reduce its safe stopping distance, or carry it off the centerline in the existing crosswinds. This high touchdown sink rate, coupled with large nose-up inputs, caused the first bounce. A large nose-down input was applied, causing a touchdown on the nose gear. This deviates from approved procedures for the MD-11 during a bounce, which specifies the pilot is to hold a pitch angle of 7.5 deg and use thrust to adjust the descent rate. The plane bounced off this second touchdown, pitching upward. The large control inputs by the first officer resulted in a hard touchdown on the main landing gear. This final touchdown was hard enough (1200 fpm) to cause the left wing to fail as the left main landing gear transferred force up into the wing, exceeding its design limit. The JTSB report suggested the fire might have been averted if the landing gear fuse pin had failed as designed, but that much of the touchdown force was horizontal to the pin rather than vertical, keeping it intact. The report also cited the crew's use of autothrottle during landing despite gusty wind conditions.

I was an addict of *Air Crash Investigation* documentaries. I still watch but in moderation, hope to take a flight early next year, I don't want to freak out imagining my plane landing upside-down. This talented narrator has a great voice.

"2 people are dead"
Smithsonian outro: 🕺🕺💃💃

Nice! Glad Simu Liu just showed that all the small roles can add up to the big ones. He also showed that when you are acting you can be cast into any role and it does not matter what your background is so long as the director thinks you fit the bill.

[cyrus]

I didn’t know sang chi was such a good atc

[ariefhf]

So basically he works at car rentals then move to become atc crew before finally decide to become a super hero

[nathancard]

Those poor pilots. They did everything they could to save their airplane when it was dangerously rolling. May their souls rest in peace😭☮✌

2:23 Shang-Chi and the emergency alert Rings

[smoofsg]

I guess after Shang Chi witness this crash, he decided to do something less stressful in NYC, parking cars.

[gabesrobin]

Pretty smart putting this back out there with Simu as the thumbnail. Lol
