An Unbelievable Mistake (Paninternational Flight 112) - DISASTER BREAKDOWN

Paninternational Flight 112 crashed just moments after take-off from Hamburg Germany. Both engines had failed due to the plane's water tank being filled incorrectly. With little altitude and little time the flight crew had little choice on where to put the plane down, opting for an German Autobahn. On this occasion the plane crashed into an overpass and erupted into flames killing 22 people.

I know this video is shorter than other, there are a couple of bigger videos in the works to come out over the next couple of weeks. If you did find this video interesting be sure to subscribe as there are new videos every Saturday!

This accident is harrowing but the fact that the one pilot went on to get in another crash and die that way after surviving I couldn't imagine...

Frankly, ad-libbing a crash landing on a highway and losing only 1/6th of the passengers on board is either extremely lucky or good flying, or both. This is similar to the commercial plane that crash landed in Iowa without any controls and wound up in a ball of flames. Although many were killed, a decent number survived and the pilots were praised for their ability to get the plane down and save half the passengers. A pity these pilots were not so lauded. It wasn't their fault the plane they piloted had engine trouble.

I feel like there is literally no circumstance in which “this is supposed to contain water but instead contains jet fuel” is going to result in anything other than a disaster. Hats off to the quick thinking & great flying of the pilots, though; that seems a minimal loss of life for an accident of this type.

Wow the pilots managed to save a surprising amount of people, it's crazy. I'm glad for the ones who lived and obviously RIP for the ones who didn't.

Kind of a miracle that only 22 people lost their lives, definitely could have ended much worse

[generalkenobi]

22 people died in this crash and that's a tragedy, but holy smoke, this could have been so, SO much worse. Those pilots were heroes. They handled that crisis extraordinarily well.

This accident has gone under the radar, so well done for bringing it up. I watch too many videos on aircraft crashes, first time I saw this account.

[univibe]

No one on the ground was injured or killed?? If not that in itself is amazing!

[Elfe]

It is sad that the First Officer passed away later, it seemed like it was not her time to go yet. RIP for the people who didnt make it. I'm always sad to see those things happen because of a mistake when it could be easily avoided.

Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to your videos every week :)

I've lived in Hamburg for 25 years and the A7 is part my daily work route passing the crash site. I've never heard of this airplane crash until now. Great content, M8.

[grapeshot]

Yeah it is like that Southern Airlines flight that tried to land the plane on a two-lane highway in Georgia. It didn't end so well.

Why in the world would ANYBODY put kerosene in a water container and not mark it in big bold print? What numbskulls!

[lucidityZ]

I was completely unaware of this incident. Thanks for teaching me something new today.

im impressed at the digging you did for this one, im kinda similarly obsessed with plane incidents so usually when a video comes out im like "oh THIS one, " but this is one I only kinda vaguely remember hearing about and you did a lot of digging. good good shit. 🥰

My dad was a witness of this crash and it has facinated me since he first told me about it! Amazing video!

[Operngeist]

I'm from Germany and I've never heard of this accident (granted, it was 2 decades before I was born but still). I knew about the possibility of an Autobahn being used/converted to a landing strip in WWII but I never knew something like that actually happened. Is it known if anyone on the ground got injured? From the simulation, it looked like they were landing on the breakdown lane. Great job on digging up these unknown cases!

[Escorpio]

I wouldn't call that a mistake, but pure incompetence.

[planenboom]

I'm gonna say it. You're the best aviation channel I know of. Continue your great work!

[holotori_senior_admin_teno]

Well, only 2 days after finding this channel I have now watched every single video. Some more than once. Very well done videos. 👏
