The Mystery of Flight 404 - DISASTER BREAKDOWN (Pakistan International Airlines Flight 404)

On August 25th 1989, a passenger plane belonging to Pakistan International Airlines departed from the Northern Town of Gilgit. Less than ten minutes later, it disappeared never to be seen again.
No wreckage has ever been found and presumably all 54 people on board the aircraft were killed.

This really helps pass time. Makes me never want to fly again, well time to catch my flight.

This is one of the best flight crash channels online. I have autism and am hyperfixated on them. These videos make everything so easily understandabld

[megyskermike]

Your channel is going to grow wildly soon. You're a lot better than most doing it (in terms of voice, info, and general production quality).

I find it remarkable that the plane has never been found on terrain: I can understand a plane lost in the vast oceans, but on terra firma, even in remote mountains it seems crazy.

I've been binging this channel for a couple of weeks, which is weird because I have anxiety when it comes to riding airplanes. But your objective, easy-to-understand explanations (even for me who doesn't know anything about planes!), the laying out of facts without too much drama, and the clear narration is almost cathartic and actually make me feel less anxious about riding planes. Maybe because I am learning about how these things work and what can go wrong with them (and how often that happens). So thank you so much for making and regularly updating this channel! I'm patiently waiting for more 'disaster averted' ones, though ^^;;

Lmao in reference to flying into a mountain -

“it’s not something pilots normally do”

Hahaha yeah I sure hope not

I'd love to hear more about the captain's flight incident on the 747.

[kaweenaaaaa]

i've been fixated on mh370 for so many years no (i remember watching it all unfold) and i never thought that there would be ANOTHER, earlier instance of a plan just vanishing. thank you for another great video! i always look forward to your uploads! :)

You’re simply amazing! Churning out videos no matter what’s going on in your personal life. This is quite the mystery…thanks for a great video about this flight.

[sambecker]

Damn. Imagine being demoted from a 742 to a F27.

I think PIA has a history of landing without landing gear. Even a recent one. I think they should have "is the landing gear down?" Painted on the walls of the cockpit.

I can hear the conversation.."Can you spot Flight 404?" "No, that Fokker isn't on my radar".

[hamakaze]

I highly doubt the shootdown theory, it's too far of a distance for that plane to travel in that time and remain undetected and out of radio contact.

However, I find the most likely theory to be that it went off course due to pilot error and crashed in an area, probably an area so unlikely that nobody thought to check there.

Love the content, really thorough and well written and explained. Also off topic here but a missing plane having flight number 404 is hilarious to me.

[judymotto]

Great video sir! Look forward to more .I'll probably go back and binge watch your channel today it's a rainy day here .have a safe weekend!

[blindehthegamer]

I love all these videos, Chloe! Keep it up! And if you are taking suggestions, I think the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crash might be an interesting video to tackle.

If a pilot proves himself to be unworthy of his position; landing a 747 with the gear up, don't be surprised if he makes another brilliant move at some point

[jimmypappas]

This explains why the internet now uses 404 not found, pretty cool

[mrjayjay]

I can’t stop watching this stuff, so informative.

[vectrex]

Another great breakdown. You deserve way more subscribers given the quality of the content you put out
