El Al Flight 1862 - Crash Animation 2

El Al Flight 1862, a cargo Boeing 747-200 plane, was a flight between New York City to Tel Aviv with a stopover in Amsterdam on October 4, 1992. In total, there were 4 people on board, one of them being a passenger.

The Crash:
The leg between New York City and Amsterdam was uneventful, with the exception of three issues that were noticed: fluctuations in the autopilot speed regulation, problems with the radio and problems with an electrical generator on engine #3. The plane landed at Amsterdam at 2:31pm. The flight then was planned to leave at 5:30pm but was delayed until 6:20pm. After taking off from Amsterdam, the flight was directed to turn towards it's heading. At 6:27pm, the plane was flying over a lake near the city when the 3rd engine on the plane seperated from the jet, damaged the flaps and hit engine #4 tearing that engine from the wing as well. The pilots made a mayday call to ATC. They tried to return to the airport, but on their way back, the airplane lost control and started to nose-dive. The jet then crashed into a residental complex, killing all 4 people on board, plus another 39 people in the building. The crash was caused by metal fatigue in the mounting pins, which came loose in flight causing the detachment of the engine.

Wow just imagine sitting in your apartment watching tv and then next thing you know you're dead. That's so tragic and messed up.

I saw the entire recreation of this "crash" on the Smithsonian Channel. Just horrific. . .crashing into that apartment complex. Thank you for sharing.

Just for information, the plane lost control because the engine damadged the flats and on final approach they used the flaps. Only the left flats came out and so it went down.

I was in really close by when I saw it falling out of the sky rip to all of those people who lost their lives that night

The crash in real life was much more worse than you see in the animation...in real life it crashed in a nose dive position straight through the roof...rip to all that parished

[LololRede]

Its sad that an entire siblings died while parents were out

[angelagreenlaw]

The Engine was noddy trying to tell us something 0:37

[Koronuru]

The building was cut in half and didn't fall down. In fact it was repaired and is still in use today. Now let that sink in.

This crash reminds me of American Airlines flight 77 which crashed into The Pentagon in Washington DC. The main difference however was that El Al flight 1862 was a freak accident and wasn't intentionally flown into the building whereas American Airlines flight 77 was hijacked by terrorists and deliberately flown into the pentagon.

rip to all 4 peoples on board and 43 peoples in the flat

My dad was there during the crash!! He was living almost a kilometer away from the crash and he heard it and he ran to the crash site!!! SO MY DAD WAS THERE DURING THE CRASH!!

Let this be a lesson to parents never leave your kids in the apartment when the plane is about to crash

The position of the plane's impact at 1:09 in Seconds From Disaster animation was very likely inaccurate. The Dutch Investigators found that the plane's final position at the moment of impact wasn't an impact on the side of the building, then an explosion. It was most likely a nose dive impact into the roof from above and then an explosion. There is a picture on Wikipedia from the investigation that shows this likely final position of the aircraft at the moment of impact.

My mother and father have seen the crash

[WhyamIhere-jl]

the amount of lives lost is horrible RIP. But let me say this animation has 2 things more accurate than the aci Animation. #1: Livery, Correct livery. It had a plain blue tail and only cargo written on it. #2:Cockpit, You can see the steam gauges and old gyroscope attitude indicator.

[mvalkyrie]

Good one!
Btw this reminds me of AA77
