There’s always a relief when a person from the specific plane does a interview

It's scary the way I am getting addicted to plane crash videos

The crew of the Loganair flight are angels. I especially enjoyed the first officer. Her quick thinking is most likely what saved all those lives. Gotta love when first officers get a chance to shine! 👍🏽

I was on that Logan air flight. It was due to land in shetland, there was a flash that lit up the cabin of the plane in blue. Then we plummeted. A man a few rows behind me had a panic attack and after we leveled off the air hostess came and tried to comfort him. There were lots of people very shaken.
I remember the hostess giving out little sweets and drinks trying to calm people down.
It seamed like quite a while before we got an announcement from the captain, he said that we had been struck by lighting and the plane was in full working order. The reason we decended was to get clear of turbulent air and avoid further lightning strikes and as a precautionary measure we'd return to Aberdeen.
It was only after we landed in Aberdeen we were told how serious the situation was. Every passenger was taken off the plane, we never went through the normal arrival gate instead we we're taken to an air lounge in the airport and waited there until the captain and co pilot came and addressed us all personally and told us what had happened. They told us the reason for returning to Aberdeen was because the aircraft was hit by lightning It would need to be inspected before being able to fly again and it was easier to have that inspection done in Aberdeen than in shetland.
We were all given good accommodation for the night and flew to shetland the next morning.
It was 5 days later when I read in the local news paper what had actually happened and that the decent we had made in the aircraft wasn't actually planned.
Funny thing is my mother was waiting in the car at sumburugh airport to pick me up. At sumburugh airport you have to drive over the runway to get to the airport and there are gates that close when a plane is arriving/departing to stop vehicles short of the runway. My mum was stopped at these gates and watched the plane get struck on final approach then dive. She thought we were going to crash. It was 2 hours later before we landed in Aberdeen and I could call her. This happened a few years ago now and seeing this video, which I didn't know even had this flight on has made me realise just how lucky we were! Really didn't expect to see this, I had to re-watch it to make sure I heard the details right, caught me totally by surprise seeing this.

That Loganair plane was just seven seconds from striking the sea when a glitch caused the autopilot that they were fighting to disconnect. They were really lucky.

Air Disasters has some of the best visual effects of any documentary and many other shows. The artists working with the computer graphics department are amazing. Also the acting for the scene recreation is also excellent. Very high production values in the series.

47 passengers but only a single flight attendant, that's got to be a living nightmare to deal with and right on the edge of the FAA's limit of 1 flight attendant for every 50 passengers, poor flight attendant. :(

[williammoulds]

I was a passenger on a plane in which we took off from Atlanta, then returned back due the pilot detecting a small crack located in their window. The captain was amazing, briefing us every step of the way. When we landed everyone starting clapping!

[Dontdatefeminist]

I've been a flight attendant for 30 years, I feel so blessed to not experience one situation! 🙏

[EdgyShooter]

Coming home and finding that a plane has destroyed yourself must be a unique experience

[kimmi]

this is one of the best docuseries ever...it really encapsulates the human experience in a way that fiction can't really do bc it's not real

[EdgyShooter]

Important note about the three passengers who died on flight 703:
Two passengers were trapped in the tail and a third passenger Reginald John Dixon, desperately tried to help free them, unfortunately a flash fire broke out and critically burned him. He died in hospital two weeks later

42:44 "Haha, ya got me good investigator Ranjeep, now let's see the *real* flight path."




"...sir, that *is* the flight path."

[Soffity]

"It was important to find out if the captain had control of his plane". Plane narrowly misses hitting the control tower….

Imagine if u looked out ur window to see a plane crash into ur neighbour's house

[blonderoast]

I was on a plane that was landing in Bozeman, Montana, and suddenly we went from final approach to rapid accent with nothing but land out the windows on one side and sky the other. You could feel the force of the acceleration keeping you in your seat.

We leveled out and the pilot comes on the intercom and goes "hi folks, this is your captain (captain name here, can't remember now) speaking." And then something about how we had to abort because a void passed in front of us on the radar and they lost sight of us. Then he closes with "at no time were we in any danger."

I was in a window-seat on the "nothing but sky side."

Edot: and, yes, darn good captain.

0:14 “Did I hit something!?”
*yes: The poor trees*

Like a wise man once said: "If the Smithsonian crew are on board your plane, Get off the plane immediately".

[stoneworx]

every time i see a lion air incident, i feel so lucky to be alive. never never again unless the plane is equipped with eject seats

[scottthomas]

These air disasters are just heart breaking. Feel for every single person on board who lost there life's 😪
