Five Lego Plane Crashes based off true stories featuring slow motion shots, realistic plane models and facts and figures. ✈️

Don't worry, I didn't lose any Lego pieces.

✈️WHY DID THESE DISASTERS OCCUR?
Air Florida Flight 90 struggled to climb and collided with a bridge over the Potomac immediately after takeoff. This was due to the pilots failing to de-ice the engines properly in the snowy weather.

Alaska Airlines Flight 261 experienced a malfunction with the horizontal stabilizer which made the plane pitch down uncontrollably. The plane's second dive caused it to violently impact the ocean, making survival impossible for all souls onboard. The plane flew inverted before impact, this was an action of the heroic pilots trying anything to keep the plane from diving.

Japan Airlines Flight 123 experience an explosion soon after takeoff due to the aft pressure bulkhead failing. Incorrect repairs after a tail strike seven years prior caused it to weaken. The blast damaged vital instruments and the tail detached, making the 747SR almost uncontrollable. The startled pilots heroically kept the plane in the air for half an hour. #jal123

Air France 447 was providing false speed readings for the pilots due to some instruments freezing. Not knowing what speed they were at, they incorrectly pitched the plane upwards, causing the speed to reduce and the plane was sent into an unrecoverable stall over the Atlantic. #af447

The Tenerife Airport Disaster occured due to a KLM 747 taking off without permission, colliding with a fully loaded PAN AM. Both planes were diverted to this airport and weather conditions were extremely misty, making it too late for the KLM to abort the takeoff once the PAN AM was in sight.

Rest In Peace to all people lost in these disasters.
Lessons learned following these disasters have made aviation much safer for us today.

Yes, I know there are many mistakes in this video, so I highly recommend my newer recreation videos which are 10x higher quality 🔥

[cameronsdoodlessaveukraine]

These were so beautifully done. Rest in peace to the people who died.

[Frosted]

I can only imagine how hard it must have been to find all those pieces after the Japan 123 one

[LeoGTX]

This actually made me understand the gravity of the situation more than normal plane crash videos and analysis! Good job.

[kartoffelbro]

damn, i cant imagine how hard it was setting up all the cameras and getting the shots, very well done.

[supsnail]

*Which crashes should I recreate next?* ✈️
Also, sorry that I couldn't recreate the upper floor on the 747s, but there are two 747s in Part 2 so I recommend seeing it!!!
Plus, more real crash information is in the description if you're interested ;)
RIP to those lost, this video is dedicated to them.

“Stalling! We’re falling!”
“We’re going down, Larry!”
“I know!”

[1:46]
“You feel that?”
“Yeah, gimme a sec…this is a bi###.”
“Is it?”
“Yep.”
_“That plane has just started to do a big huge plunge.”_
_”Yeah sir ah… I concur, he’s uh definitely in a nose down position, descending quite rapidly.”_
“Mayday!”
“Push and roll, push and roll…..ok we’re inverted, and now we’re gonna get it…”
_”Plane is inverted, sir.”_
_”SkyWest 5154, you still have eyes on him, sir?”_
_”He’s in sight, he’s definitely out of control.”_
“Push, push, push….push the blue side up.”
“I’m pushing.”
“Ok now let’s kick rudder, left rudder, left rudder.”
“I can’t reach it.”
“Ok right rudder, right rudder…”
“Are we flying? We’re flying, we’re flying, tell ‘em what we’re doing.”
“Ok let me get—“
“Gotta get it over again…at least upside down we’re flying…”
_”Yeah, he’s inverted.”_
“Speed brakes!”
“Got it.”
“Here we go…….”
_”And he just hit the water.”_
_”Ah, yes sir, …he ah…he…hit the water. He’s uh down.”_

[3:17]
“Power! Increment the flaps—“
“Flap up, flap up, flap up, flap up, flap up!”
“Flaps up?”
“Yep.”
“Power! Power! Flaps!”
“I’m trying!”
“We’re gonna stall! Nose up! Nose up! Power!”
_”Sink rate! Whoop whoop pull up! Whoop whoop pull up!”_
“It’s the end….”

[ 4:12 ]
“What the hell are you doing?”
“We’ve lost control of the aircraft. We don’t understand, we’ve tried everything!”
“What do you think? What should we do? ….Climb…climb…climb….”
“But I’ve been pulling all the way up for a while!”
“No no no! Don’t climb!”
“Descend then….Gimme the controls. Gimme the controls!”
_”Sink rate! Sink rate!”_
“Damn it, we’re gonna crash!”
“Ten degrees nose down….”

[ 5:50 ]
“Is he not clear then?”
“What did you say?”
“Is he not clear, the Pan American?”
“Oh yes.”
“There he is. Goddamn that son-of-a-bi### is coming straight at us!”
“Get off! Get off! Get off!”

It has to be hell trying to find the pieces after the crashes. I give my respect

[daroth]

A PLANE HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY!

[cacworld]

If you look closely, at 4:50 the man with yellow clothes might know what's going to happen...

[silleeehj]

the fact that this dude spends his time building lego planes just to crash them is crazy (KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK WITH THE SATISFYING CRASHES!!!)

[aarontheaviationaddict]

Some things wrong with the Tenerife reenactment here:

1. The two planes didn’t taxi to the terminal apron, but parked on the taxiway just short of the runway, Pan Am 1736 parked right behind KLM 4805. The apron was so full of planes, that all later incoming aircraft were forced to park on the taxiway.

2. No, both planes didn’t line up on opposite ends of the runway facing each other. In reality, the Pan Am lined up behind the KLM, and both taxied in the same direction along the runway. After reaching the end of the runway, the KLM aircraft made a 180 turn, facing in the opposite direction of the Pan Am, which was still taxiing down the runway.

I just can’t imagine how long it took to pick up all the pieces whenever the planes crashed, especially the one in the pond😂 but still, RIP EVERYONE ON THESE FLIGHTS. As they say, pilots don’t die, they just fly higher.

[zmbktty]

imagine living nextdoor and seeing your neighbour throwing planes at bridges and stuff

[Dylan]

Fun fact:50 people survived the crash of JAL 123 but sadly the rescue mission was delayed because they thought no one would survive the crash.

[detectivecotton]

I’m a pilot in training, I like Lego videos, YouTube really just recommended a video that combines both interests LMAO great video was not expecting to get recommended recreated Lego plane crash videos

[jaden]

Let’s take a moment to realize all of these plane crashes are real, and that the people lives have been lost and that we should never forget people even if we don’t know them❤️

[Skelevon_gaming]

Bro took brace for impact to a whole new level 💀

[kingdraco]

the cockpit recordings of air florida 90 was literally "WERE GOING DOWN LARRY" (first officer) "I KNO- *impact*"
