It’s every pilot’s nightmare–and on January 8, 1989, it happened on Midlands Flight 92 as both of its engines seemingly failed at the same time. Minutes later, the plane slammed into an embankment next to a highway.

I thought the title said: What Happens when Both Engines fall on a Passenger? Easy: they're dead... but you have to have a special kind of luck to have 2 engines fall on top of you.

I've seen this in seconds from disaster, but mayday discovers 2 additional flaws on this plane, the passenger seat design and their brace positions. True they did turn off the wrong engine similar to Transasia flight 235, but in midland flight 92's case, several people died because the floors on some passengers seats weren't strong enough to withstand the impact and some weren't able to brace the impact and suffered serious injuries from loose seats.

I was on a plane about six years ago where both engines failed. Thankfully it happened on the runway and mere minutes before we were cleared for take off! But to have it happen in the air and then this?! 😰 I cannot imagine the terror the passengers and Pilots felt. It was a miracle there were even survivors from this terrible accident. RIP Everyone who was killed.

some passengers noticed the fire on the left engine but never told the crew that they turned off the wrong engine. so for me it's not fully pilot's fault because the displays were new so they struggle to read the information.

Title is wrong - both engines did not fail. Pilots switched the wrong one off = it crashed = people died. Title needs correcting.

The pilots think that the right engine failed so they shut down the right engine but in reality it's the left engine that has the problem because the left engine fan blade broke and the engine started choking. When the pilots apply power to the left engine that's when they realize the left engine is the real problem not the right engine and the pilots tried to restart the right engine but they're out of time and the crash was inevitable.

As a British person, I'm shocked to see that the 737's planes produced a boneshaking rattle throughout the cabin. It's truly chilling and makes my hair stand up from my head!!

imagine driving to the airport in a taxi, then watching this plane land, and then you just watch it crash into the hill.

I saw it before season of British midland 🇬🇧 92, after cruising altitude 35 thousand feet, after takeoff 🛫 in the flight ✈️ there’s a surge number 2 engine and number 1 engine struggling to attempt to landing and it’s too late to land, few people are alive but many there injured 🤕 including captain crew👨‍✈️ is broken spine. (British 🇬🇧 Government are preparing to investigate 🔬 plane ✈️ crash 💥)

The honest question is. The investigation part highlight after shutting off Engine 2 (The Wrong Engine) due to different readings confusing the pilots compared to the older 737's the plane was stable... The answer was Why?

I mean it's understandable that increasing Engine One (The Burning Engine) would causing the vibrations. But why after turning off engine 2 the plane was normal that is what I'm trying to ask while the investigation part of the video not published (As of 27/9/22)

Is this an old episode?

Because i am pretty sure this situation is a good situation to call for pan pan at least (when one engine is gone)

Remind me to never get on another plane unless it has 3 engines minimum

The pilots didn't realise the mistake they made by saying it is the right engine that is burning instead of the actual engine that was burning was the left
