Pilots Flying Blind! | Air Crash Investigation

On the 13th of April, 2013 a two months old Boeing 737-800 from Lion Air crashed into the sea only a few hundred meters away from the international airport in Bali.
Aircraft investigators were quickly on the site and what they found out is what we will be discussing in this weeks video about famous Aviation accidents and incidents.

The production value on this video is better than the vast majority of TV documentaries, at this point I'd say that your videos are good enough to be on TV.

Perhaps a side gig for a little extra cash? 🤑 😁

Seriously though Petter, these videos just keep getting better and better. You and your production team should be very proud 👍

[amicaaranearum]

What I like about your accident investigation series:
1. You present the facts in a way that can be understood without a background in aviation or engineering.
2. You're not overly dramatic. (The facts are sufficiently dramatic on their own.)
3. The sections are timestamped (even the sponsorship).

[vtpanda]

Regarding your note at the end of the video, I'm reminded of a flight I was on into Dulles years ago. As we were coming in to land, I looked out of the window and thought to myself, "wow, it looks like we're going too fast as compared to normal." About five seconds later, the pilot gunned the engines and did a go-around. After we landed safely, the pilot went on the PA and said, "sorry about that. I didn't like how we were coming in, so we decided to go around and do it again." Honestly, that made me feel a lot better about flying because the pilot clearly recognized that there was a problem, and was able to fix it without issue.

If anybody deserves 1 million subscribers it's you man. After watching a ton of your videos its clear you're consistently perfecting your craft. Thank you for taking the time to create this content.

[nomadgigi]

I'm a retired grandma with no connection to aviation, and still find your views on communication very applicable to daily life. So thank you. I've watched a lot of your videos recently and find them facinating. I've always loved flying and first flew round the world in 1961 as a child. I also had two brothers-in-law who were pilots.

[VFleetz]

This guy's content really went to a different level

[chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

CRM again, a young pilot not challenging a vastly experienced pilot. Especially in the part of the World he is from there is a culture of not questioning the senior male. Really love the way you explain it, love the graphics, love the layman talk. Brilliant Channel and another first rate presentation. Thank you.

[stevenosimpson]

I have no connection with the aviation industry but I always used to enjoy watching Air Crash Investigation on National Geographic.
I descovered your channel about a month ago These are so much better. Facts and explanation without all the gumph.
Great production values. Clear discussions

You are absolutely right, I am an uneasy flyer and people tell me I am crazy to watch stuff like this but I actually gained a lot of trust towards airplanes (I'm now more afraid of pilots haha). People confuse aviophobia with acrophobia. Being scared of flying has much more to do with being completely out of control and laying your life entirely in the hands of another person/machine. So learning how a plane and/or flight crew operates helps enormously. Thanks a lot for your efforts and great work!

[codygerard]

What I've learned from these last few videos: Always go around on an unstabilized approach, no matter what.

[frankszanto]

As an engineer in the rail industry I do learn a lot from your videos - and especially your point that when one person is feeling that things are not right, that they need to clearly express this. Deferring to experience is a real problem.

[theAessaya]

In all honesty, I've always found your videos to be really accessible to normal people, while also carrying a lot of detail to keep enthusiasts interested as well. But these accident report videos are a wholly different level. They are truly a whole head above the rest, including those with huge budgets backed by major cable companies. Thank you!

Hope you have an absolutely fantastic day!

[nightblizzard]

I’m a retired professor who taught in the humanities. I love learning, and I really enjoy how you teach. The lessons you draw from these incidents are quite applicable to other professions and even life itself: communication, group dynamics, quality control, the dangers of assuming, and how a competent, team approach can overcome seemingly impossible odds. I’ve also learned to appreciate how professional and vital the cabin crew is. They save lives.

[gwauk]

I never realised that I had an interest in the technical aspects of commercial flight until I found this channel. I love the content and the quality is unreal. Thanks Petter 👍

[Halcyon]

I'm not a pilot but I'm a safety committee member at the warehouse I work at, and your words at the end really resonate with me. If I may paraphrase, "If you feel something is wrong or incorrect, speak up." That's why I watch videos like this, and other videos in other fields that are disaster/safety related. Even in our relatively low stakes work of moving boxes from point A to point B, there's still a lot of lessons on how issues can crop up and how we as individuals and team members need to be able to handle and tackle situations. Plus I think this stuff is interesting as hell!

[bobbrewer]

“Maybe you are an aviation geek but you don’t know it yet”

That was me before I found your channel, Petter!

I spend a lot of time at my local airport, as a ground transport driver, and in the time between jobs, I would look at the flights coming in and research the planes operating the flights.

That led me to videos on YouTube, which lead to a suggestion of one of your videos, then I watched more and more!

Once again, Petter, this is a fantastic and informative video. Bravo my friend.

I am a pharmacist within a uk hospital in a management position and I can say these have helped me a lot with root cause analysis in incidents

[telespork]

I got into these videos specifically because of my anxiety when I fly. Love to travel, terrified of flying. It has really helped. Like you said, knowing the amount of things that have to happen for a crash to take place somehow calms that fear a bit. Thank you for making it so easy to understand! Take care.

[ellenduebrynjulfsen]

And that’s why I Watch all your videos. I learn so mutch. And every incident makes it safer. And I learn to speak up when things are wrong.

[sheldoniusRex]

These accident investigation recaps are seriously top notch content. Especially when you talk about the human factors which lead to failure. These situations are universal and addressing them is really a service to all of us who are responsible for other's safety, no matter what industry we are in.
