The 737 MAX, the most recent and advanced version of Boeing’s trusted airliner, rendered almost uncontrollable just minutes after takeoff.

You might think you know the story of Lion Air flight 610… but there’s something you HAVEN’T been told!

In today’s video, I will take you through a FULL breakdown of what actually went wrong on this infamous flight. There are some complex explanations in here but stay with me, it will be worth it.

These deserve to be aired on primetime TV, production is far far better than anything I've seen on. It's factually correct too! Great job Petter!

My lyft driver yesterday told me he’s beginning his training as a commercial pilot soon. I got to geek out about this channel to him and about how helpful it’s been to me from the passenger/general educational side. I hope he checks it out.

I've never seen any science or documentary videos like these. You've set a bar so high I find it hard to put into words. The level of respect and sensitivity to the people involved, the lack of exploitation of tragedy, the skill of making science understandable yet fully accurate, and the engagement with the audience. I hope others will learn from you. I'm able to let my kids watch these and know they are going to learn science, respect, and not develop fears.
Thank you.

As a software engineer, it never ceases to amaze me how, albeit in a much lower severity level, of course, a lot of the factors that contribute to these accidents can be correlated with incidents in my field of work: design flaws, environmental factors, under-training, poor communication, deviation normalization, confirmation bias, subtle incapacitation, the Swiss cheese model, you name it. I can say your videos really help me to be better at my job by knowing these factors and trying my best to overcome them as they arise. Thanks a lot!

I have a short attention span and typically struggle to watch videos over 10 minutes or so, but when I see a Mentour video that's over an hour long, I know I can eagerly and attentively watch the whole thing in one sitting.

During lectures when my professor shares his screen I can see his YouTube and it’s often paused on a mentour pilot video

[jacobmoriancumer]

I want you to know I actually use these videos for leadership training at my job at a steel mill. It may not seem related, but I've found major benefits discussing CRM style leadership with my people, and I have seen benefits to it. Thank you from America!

Man, You beat yourself with this video. As an ex cameraman, tv&media bussines man, congrats to how you and team present this. Watch all of yours Pilot stories, and hope so, can not wait for another. Wish you all the best in new year, clear sky and more great videos. All the best from Serbian guy, from Luxembourg.

This reminds me of an old programming joke.
A programmer, a systems analyst, and an hardware engineer are car-sharing to get to work. During the commute the brakes on the car fail. The driver manages to stop the car before it crashes and the three colleagues get out to discuss what to do next. The hardware engineer says "We should tear down the braking system, find the fault, and fix it." The systems analyst disagrees and says "No, we should diagnose the issue using the maintenance manual. Once we know what could be causing the failure, we can go right to the correct system and fix it!" The programmer listens in horror and says "Look the car is clearly not showing any problems right now. Let's just get back in and drive to see if the problem reoccurs."

You dropped this just as I'm about to board a 10 hour flight. I don't care, I downloaded it to watch during the flight!

[JesusLozanoHorrillo]

Thank you! As an airspace engineer, pilot and aircraft accident investigator… is great how you have treated this: factual, clear, impartial and precise….Thanks and waiting to the next video. Congrats on this great work

I know there has been a lot of debate around MCAS. Personally, I think it's unforgiveable that such a central flight control system wasn't documented for pilots.

[TJasienski]

Although the fault on the side of Boeing is now clear, it’s still shocking to me that the obviously broken plane was allowed to take off. While MCAS is the common cause for JT610 and ET602, still the systemic problem of ignoring and incorrectly repairing malfuctions is a common factor for JT610 and SJ182.

This guy is an airline captain, but still does this intense research for us. What a pilot!

3:32 ‘airbus 737-900 er’ cracked me up. Great content

[ekaramdani]

Thanks for covering this one
This crash is *very* personal to me as the aircraft destination is to my hometown(yes, my Howmetown is Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belituung)
And some of the passengers are peoples that my parents personally know

[hawkercommentates]

I work in Cyber Security, and see a lot of similarities between how we are supposed to handle CRM type issues during incidents. I have definitely improved my professional capabilities when it comes to incident response coordination and communication from watching your videos.
One of the major issues we see in my field is people assuming another party knows what they are referencing with unspecific communication, similar to in this incident, although thankfully none have been serious enough to cost people their lives in my career.

Thank you from Denmark for the great content!

[thewontoncon]

Considering you got criticism (and to an extent rightly so) every time you had a betterhelp sponsorship, I think more thanks should be given to you now that you no longer take sponsorships from them.

[iceprincessone]

As a former stewardess for Icelandair for many years without any serious incidents I find your videos terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. It is like looking at horror movie and not being able to stop looking. I love your calm voice and Norwegian accent. Thank your for all your hard work on this.

[abduibnmohamed]

The Ethiopian one crashed about 100 miles off of where I live and the fact that it could've been prevented both times pisses me off
