This Fatal Crash Didn’t Leave Investigators Any Clues 🔎 Air Disasters | Smithsonian Channel

A well-maintained plane, favorable weather and an experienced pilot present no likely explanations for the November 29, 2013 crash of Mozambique 470. Investigators have no choice but to dig deeper.

They ended up ruling it as deliberate, the pilot had several cruel twists of fate which had driven him suicidal. He set the autopilot for a steadied descent in order to kill himself and (sadly) others.

LAM Mozambique actually had a policy that could’ve prevented this. It’s called the two person rule where if one of the pilots has to leave the cockpit for a certain amount of time, a flight attendant will come in and watch over until the other pilot returns. It’s just that on that day, it wasn’t being followed. Germanwings, on the other hand, didn’t have such a policy and that allowed the same thing to happen: one pilot locking out the other, putting in some inputs, and letting the autopilot crash the plane onto the ground.

Even tho I know I’ll be left off with a cliff hanger, I still click ASAP!

Co pilot: I'll be going to the bathroom, so would you mind taking over?
Capt. Fernandez: Sure, no problem 🙂. *turns head after seeing co pilot left the cockpit "
Capt. Fernandez: "locking the cockpit door, setting to 592 feet, plane begins descending fast, then 😞 while normal breathing.
Co pilot: *feels the locked door*, Huh? Captain? Are you OK? Please open the door. *Knocks the door repeatedly*
Capt. Fernandez: 😞
GPWS: Too low terrain, Pull up.

Well, captain santos was suffering. But still, gives him no right to kill other 32 people. He could have done the same that richard russell (the guy who crashed the horizon Q400 in 2018).

Rest In Peace all the victims of this crash

Just a comment on the subtitles- the captain's surname was Fernandes, not Fernandez (this is the Spanish spelling)

We gonna ignore the fact that they’re at 250 knots at 500 feet 😂😂

I like the anouncer he speaks very clearly.

Summary :One of the pilots deliberately crashed the plane when the other pilot was outside the cockpit .

Similar to a Germanwings

Nice but please upload the entire video not just a teaser

Why's it so hard to find the full damn episodes? Like just put full episode here: [Insert Link] in the description. It's not hard.

Very sad to see that all passengers on board died because of Captain Fernandez's suicide. He is trying to face all of this bad stuffs in his life like his wife's divorce, son's death and his daughter's Hospital issue. He can't face them. I am heartbroken about this accident :(

RIP to all on board who diedm

Your videos should be tailored made to 8:59 seconds for better visualizations

I get that they're trying to post up teaser videos to get people to watch the full thing on the Smithsonian Channel... But seriously:
"This fatal crash didn't leave investigators any clues".
...
Okay? I'm assuming to be shown SOMETHING that piques my interest in the video then, at least HINTING towards something that MIGHT give them a clue that they'll reveal in the full episode... But no.
This entire 'teaser' video is:
'Could it have been poor maintenance? ... No.'
'Was it perhaps something to do with the weather? ... Nuh-Uh.'
'BUT, could this have been the fault of a poorly trained pilot? ... Nope.'
'Investigators have exausted all available avenues.'
...
That's it.
Not an 'Is it possible that this could have been done deliberately...?' cliffhanger or anything?
It just tells us that they checked all the basics and found nothing. The end.
...
That doesn't make me want to go watch the full episode at all. If I didn't go google the crash, I would simply assume that: 'huh, I guess they couldn't figure it out and that's the end.'

they should have investigated the pilot's health records. one could have had a heart attack or seizure or something like that

[Migz]

What happened is the pilot suicide bc all of his family are desd

Set timer voice recorder in the information recorded in the video stops, ???

[jakenolan]

Am I the only one who saw the speed at 250 at gear up?
