  • What amazes me is that there voices didn't have a tone of fear. At the very end, when he says "I know!" is one of frustration...Wow... superb pilots.

  • "We're going down, Larry."

    "I know!"

    That's so sad, there was a just split second between that exchange of dialogue and the explosion noise...and in that split second they both must of had frightening thoughts running through their heads...a split second to say goodbye to the world and prepare themselves. :( R.I.P. Hope they internally made peace with the world.

  • If only they had firewalled the engines.

  • Lol

  • @choriso00

    lol?

    dude...

  • @choriso00 How is this funny?

  • the co pilot sounds like Gomer Pyle

  • @ststephens97

    He flew like Gomer Pyle too. Morons like these are why I avoid air travel. So sad these people entrusted their lives with two 30 something bumbling hicks, like these two "pilots".

  • @glennbeckfan10 Hey you fuck. People died on this flight. You want to put all the blame on the pilots? Accidents don't happen for one reason in particular. There are many factors involved that all coalesce. There was an icing issue on the plane that aided in the crash. I would love to see you try and fly a plane when it's almost completely aerodynamically impossible to fly. Have some fucking respect for christ sakes.

  • @dratelectasis

    Did I solicit your opinion ? you foul-mouthed prole. What does 'accidents don't happen for one reason in particular' mean? There was an icing issue that these morons failed to address or recognize. They made multiple mistakes, and an intelligent person can tell from the multiple errors they made and from how dumb they sound on this tape that these pilots were incompetent morons.

  • People need to do some research BEFORE they post. The pilots used reverse thrusters to get away form the gate. That in turn SUCKED snow and ice into the engine and guess what happened next??

  • the impact in the end is just so horrific.

  • For those who say the crew was blameless, they were far from it.

    1)They used reverse thrust to get out of the gate because the town vehicle couldn't get traction

    2)After waiting for almost an hour in line they choose NOT to return for de-icing.

    3)They didn't activate the engine anti-ice system.

    4)While waiting to take off they lined up behind another plane so the exhaust would de-ice them, this was against flight manual recommendations and actually caused the place to ice up more.

  • the failure to operate the plane's engine anti-icing system caused exactly what could be expected to happen: the engine pressure ratio (EPR) thrust indicators provided false high readings. While the pilots thought they had throttled up to the correct takeoff EPR of 2.04, the actual EPR was only 1.70.

    Those pilots killed all those people because they didn't follow procedures

  • Fucking idiot pilots.

  • @SuttonSantiniPaulo the plane wasn't properly de-iced prior to takeoff. It wasn't their fault.

  • @chicago6584 Actually, it was at least partially pilot error. The pilots opted to do a power back during a snow strorm which caused snow to get sucked in the engines that froze up vital parts in the engine which in turn reduced thrust capacity upon takeoff.

  • @chicago6584

    Its the responsibility of the pilot in command to make sure the aircraft is prepared and safe to fly. Ultimately it was the pilots fault.

  • Ouch. This one hurts. The BOOOOOOMMM at the end...

  • both of their last words RIP

  • Would have been much better with subtitles

  • "We´re going down, Larry!"

    " I KNOW IT!"

    Boom

  • rip baby

  • there was a newborn baby on the plane:( may they all RIP

  • Could they even imagine that their voices as they die are now heard by people all over the world through there stereo systems hooked to their computers?

  • Sounds like an explosion to me

  • I think the explsion voice is like a bomb

  • popcorn = stickshacker. wikipedia.

  • why are they making popcorn at a time like this?

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth LOL...you sick fuck...LOL

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth

    i just couldnt stop laughing at this comment XD

    you are a bastard

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth as evil as ur comment is lol

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth that's the stick shaker.

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth at the time of this crash it was tradition to pop the corn for the in-flight film in the cockpit, incidentally the scheduled film for that flight was airplane!... have you ever been in a cockpit before?

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth Oh, god... I totally shouldn't have laughed at this, but I did. Great comment.

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth its the sound of the stick-shaker (an instrument that warns that the plane is in danger of stalling) in the background

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth

    The sound your hearing is the stick shaker. A stick shaker is a mechanical device to rapidly and noisily vibrate the control yoke (the "stick") of an aircraft to warn the pilot of an imminent stall.

  • @Battle4MiddleEarth Not cool.

  • why are they making popcorn?

  • wow...amazing how loud those stickshakers are oO flew a 777 in a simulator (the big one, on wich the pilots are trained) and they are easly overheard because of the computer shouting "stall, stall, stall". I think that must have been the 737 itself, shaking like hell...

  • omg.....

  • Is there any similar event like Flight 90?

  • @rivetgun2000

    It does ? This confused popping sound ? OK. Just give me a link. I´ll check it out....

  • @Slaterator: Apologies. Meant to direct this reply to AirCanada55555A (replied 3 wks ago).

  • I watch these videos to make sure i keep my head in gear. This is my worst nightmare, not the sounds or the crashes, but fellow pilots losing their life doing the job we love, but more importantly, It is a job with risk, the passengers that die never reach their destination, at least they will be at peace and remembered, as will the poor pilots. god speed.

  • not sure what all these idiots are talking about BUT the pilot used reverse thrusters in ice and snow. The gauges messed up and the co-pilot can be heard telling him "that's not right" in reference to the readings he was seeing at the time. The sound at the end is the plane crashing into the bridge/river. You bafoons should do a little research before you get on here and make yourselves look like fools.

  • Sorry, what was it at the end? English is not my native... 'hang on'?

  • @moroz23

    The last words recorded were the captain saying "I know it" reffering to the statement of the copilot before who said "Larry we´re going down Larry". (Larry is the forename of the pilot)

  • I remember watching the rescue efforts unfold on live TV. I recall one man on the river bank jumping in to save that flight attendant. She was fighting the whole time. Blinded by the fuel and frozen her instinct was just to swim. I remember her paddling her arms instinctively. They tried to get her to hold on to the life ring hanging out of the helicopter but she was just too cold. Then that man jumped in and helped her. That guy was a hero! She lived. Talk about the will to live.

  • What's the distortion in the last 20 seconds or so that sounds like popcorn?

  • @HarvestmanMan probably the stick shaker

  • @cameraboy546: probably the stick shaker.

    JM: In this case....this was a case where these pilots took their aircraft for granted....and us mechanics are the ones who give them that feeling. For the most part, millions of flight operations take place every year and that is because we give them relatively VERY reliable machines. The thought that it ain't gonna make it, just doesn't occure to them because it's rare. They are only human, they have to undergo extensive training in the simulator.

  • @HarvestmanMan

    I don´t know what this popping sound is. The quality of the tape were described to be "good" in the final accident report. It sounds to me like damages on the tape foil.

  • @Slaterator The popping sound that you hear at the end of the tape is that of the aircraft. You can look up the entire report and get all of the factual information, bit by bit. As you can imagine, several pages long. This is haunting because my whole fifth grade class was brought into a separate room to watch the LIVE footage of the survivors' rescue at the 14th street bridge (Potomac River) in Washington, DC. I was only an 11-yr-old and, now, age 40, but it is eerily fresh in my mind.

  • @aichausa

    I heave the accident report here and therefore the cvr-transcript too. But there is no refer in it to the "popping sound". The only thing is the sound of the stickshaker which starts at 16:00:39 and continues to the end of the recording. But the stickshaker does not sound like what can be heard. So the question is which system or what else creates that weird sound. Yes, it was a sad and moving tragedy. I was about 3 years old at the time of the accident. So I learned about it later.

  • @Slaterator I don't know re: the popping sound other than what can be heard in the overall aircraft. The exact source is certainly not the video, but something else. This, I am sure of, because I've listened to the Black Box recording on other Palm90 videos. These other videos have focused more on the weather. The planes preceding Palm90 were able to maintain even in heavy snow conditions, placing combined but more emphasis on pilot error. I detected a basic NTSB report error never corrected.

  • @aichausa

    I guess that the mysterious "popping sound" is most probably a damage to the tape foil. I don´t know any aircraft system, which creates such a sound even if it is malfunctioning. I agree It is not an effect on the video because I also know several other audio/video sources which heave the same sound too. In my opinion it was more then one pilot error which at least led to the haunting catastrophy. Maybe other factors were contributing. What basic error in the report do you mean ?

  • @Slaterator

    That noise is the stick shaker. In aircrafts, when there's a mechanical error, the control yoke of the aircraft vibrates noisily to signify a mechanical malfunction.

  • @RipYourSpineOut

    Sorry but I don´t think so. I know how and when a stickshaker works and I heard the sound it creates during a test on the ground. It is more a constant mechanical sound which is much faster. I would be very surprised to be wrong. The sound in the vid is -in my personal opinion- not the stickshaker. By the way, this system does not warn about a mechanical malfunction. It warns about an imminent stall or deepstall condition of the aircraft.

  • Sound effects at the end I suspect.

  • haunting

  • 0:28: "That's not right" (speaking of reduced power output from the engines)

  • No sterile cockpit...

  • @rolfen Seeing as they were talking about flying the aircraft, it was sterile.

  • Were going down! I KNOW!!!

  • Lenny Skutnik is a real hero for jumping in that icy water while the rescue people stood and watched those people freezing to death. I will never forget the first time I saw the footage of that.

  • @leafyP the real hero was the man in the water (arnold something) who kept passing the life rafts from the helicopters off to other survivors. his selflessness saved three or four people, while lenny skutnik saved one person. i agree that he is a hero though. Arnold was just a bigger one. he died saving those people btw

  • @Terra7595 Arland Williams Jr.

  • WTF!

    Stop putting explosion sounds in the ends of these videos! Its not funny!

  • @Computergeew

    This is the original record from the CVR. The sound heard is not an explosion. It is the plane hitting a bridge before breaking apart and going into the river. The recorders stopped after the broke up.

  • @Slaterator I hear the same sound on most of his videos, of something exploding.

    Idk i guess

  • @Computergeew

    All I can say is that I heard the tape years before YT started from serious sources. And the sound is the same. So I´am pretty sure that it was not added to this vid. Right now I haven´t checked his vid´s so maybe he took the sound out of this vid to put it into other one´s. I don´t know.

  • @Slaterator Whats that popping sound at the end of the recordings, and I agree with you, that is the sound of the planes wings I think that hit the bridge and believe it or not decapitated some drivers.

  • @AirCanadaA55555A

    Yes, four people died in their cars when they were hit by the plane. There were a traffic jam due to the bad weather (heavy snowing) so they were simply stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time. Realy sad. I don´t know what this popping sound is. The quality of the tape were described to be "good" in the final accident report. It sounds to me like damages on the tape foil.

  • @Slaterator Oh. Heard the JAL 123 CVR?

  • must also mention the Civilians Roger Olian and Lenny Skutnik, as well the Cost Guard pilots for risking their lives to save the survivors. God bless and your families too

  • @KKALFAKIS Actually it was the US Park Police helicopter that came to the rescue. Used to work on their electronics gear. Check here for other vid showing these brave lads. watch?v=ASBb-oMT5EU

  • God bless the hero "Arland D. Williams Jr. "

  • Also what alot of people don't realize is the plane was deiced (unproperly), but so were the other planes that took off as well. Not to mention after the deicing they sat in line for almost an hour on to get on the runway behind 16 other planes. I think had they not sat for so long they may have made it.

    Sadly, this crash helped to change policies and other preventive steps have been employed. Such as, deicing on the runway shortly before take off instead of at the gate.

  • HAHAHAHA

  • @dhide14 fuck off!!!

  • @dhide14 for real how is that funny?

  • this video is the unique....that show...and made us listen the real soundo of IMPACT AIRPLANE IN WATER(iceriver)

  • When in dought gas it! screw the trust readings and fly the airplane,full throttle might have prevented this accident" Push it up, way up" is what you will hear in the dallas microburst accident. these guys should have done the same.

  • @ThePolyweave Would you rather die faster, or stall out and cause pure full ledged PANIC?

  • @RobertTheVlogger You're not familiar with this accident .Faulty trust readings due to iceing of a sensor told the pilots to set the takeoff power to less than what was needed.Thats why you hear the f.o saying" push it up ,way up" because at that point they knew the power settings were too low. If you want to comment on aviation accidents get your shit straight.

  • @ThePolyweave Your a douche, look up the accident lmfao.

  • Respond to this video...5 people survived. 

  • Air Florida crashes in the snow and ice ...

  • I couldnt make out a single word

  • it wouldn't of crashed had Chuck Norris been flying it.

  • thats freaky hearing it crash

  • what happened pls ?

  • @superfly181

    You don't use reverse engines before take off in winter conditions to back away from the gate...when you do, it pushes hot jet air towards the front of the plane andcan shoot a cloud of slush onto the wings and into the engine inlets and freeze those over...thus false readings during take off.

  • @Kiraly30 holy shit...that was actually a well informed comment and 100% correct.Thats exceedingly rare on YT...kudos.Engine thrust is measured by the diffential between the front and rear pressure sensors within the engine.A clogged front sensor would give you a faulty thrust reading (higher than actual)

  • @FoulOwl Thanks!  I appreciate the comments!

  • @FoulOwl It was the combination of the pilot having the engine defrost switch to the off position, when it should have been on and snow on the wings that caused the accident.

    The thrust sensors were blocked with ice, but the cockpit airspeed instrument was reading 220 which is the right speed for take off, but the plane was travelling at only 170. This combined with the ice on the wings caused the planes nose to rise and the plane didn't have enough power to lift so it came down.

  • @nuttymanyelismate thanks for the reply.Yeah,I didnt know the exact cause of the crash,but I knew we had discussed a similar problem in A&P concerning faulty trust readings due to iced pressure sensors.I wasnt aware they were getting faulty airspeed readings as well.Damn that pilot must have really fucked this bird up on the ramp.Tx.

  • @FoulOwl You're welcome FoulOwl. Another cause which added to the crash was, the de-icer hose head had the wrong nozzle fitted. It was set to 2 parts. Instead of 4parts, I don't exactly what parts refer to, but as you can easily work out it was only delivering half the de-icer needed to keep the wings cleared.

  • @nuttymanyelismate By the way, the only reason i know all this is i watched it on Nat-geo this morning. a programme called seconds from disaster.

  • this is heart breaking.....rip

  • This weekend I went home for my 20 yr class reunion and thought about this. I grew up with the two sons of the co-pilot on this recording shouting to Larry. He is buried in our home town. (RIP Roger.....) He did warn the pilot to deice many times before take-off. Sadly, Roger wasn't even schedueled to fly that morning.

    Ironically, the two sons are now and have been pilots for major airlines and I would fly with them any day..... I still remember as if it was yesterday.

  • @hollywoodmd72: I watched the live footage of the survivors' rescue that day along with my fifth grade class. I remember how eery it was. I remember the person of question passing off the rope from the rescue mission to the others. He died shortly thereafter. I remember the woman in the river, fighting to save her life and swimming frantically. I was only 11 and stunned at this horrific scenery. I am 40, now. God Bless their father, Roger. He definitely knew what he was doing. RIP AirFlorida90.

  • Comment removed

  • to here "we're going down Larry!" and then to here the crash it's shocking and sad

  • Its a damm pity there is not a way to measure air speed by taking measurements in front and in back of the engines, just to gain some redundency and have the computers use DME also. These kinds of accidents really should never happen. Ridic

  • @krmcgannon  no try 5 people

  • Holy shit.

  • "were going down larry" the guy says in a normal voice "I KNOW!" Larry says in a scared voice

  • did anyone survive?

  • @TheGoldStandard2075 Google it.

  • @TheGoldStandard2075

    5 I believe.

  • @TheGoldStandard2075 five survived four passengers and one flight attendant.

  • sad to think how bad those pilots fucked up......no ice experience, probly embry riddle grads.....

  • were going down larry!

    i know!

    BOOOM!

  • this is why we crm :)

  • esta grabacion es pura mentira, el vuelo de air florida hubieron muchos sobrevivientes, el avion cayo a un canal, en este audio se oye una explosion, air florida no estallo, numero dos: no se oye en el cockpit ninguna alarma de warning, ni danger, alarmas de sonido como de proximacion a tierra, pull-up, ni nada por el estilo, asi que este audio es para que lo crea un idiota.

  • @porn1978 mother fucker you ass and you bitch fucking mother, hablo en el idioma que me salga del forro de mis cojones so maricon.

  • @porn1978 you are the rat, i speak english and spanish, los 2 idiomas, alla tu que solo speak english y no tienes la capacidad de other idioma stupid, yo me doy el lujo como muchos otros de hablar el idioma que nos de la gana, puta eres tu, tu madre y toda tu generacion.

  • @yarvet72 ....after ur done babbling, u can come mow my grass.

  • @porn1978, since your profile reveals that you are an American, please shut the hell up and stop giving our country a bad reputation by insulting others. Unless you like being a rude blind, ignorant, selfish, heartless, and hateful immature bitch. thanks!

  • @StratMatt777 ...dude shut the fuck up fag and mind ur own beeswax...this country is already a piece of SHIT!

  • @porn1978 I know it is! Just wanted yervet72 to know we aren't all rude, you know?

  • @StratMatt777 ....oh okay!

  • @yarvet72 Shut the fuck up.

  • Bullshit this happened in the 80s it isn't like a video game . This is the actual recording. They've had it on many tv specials about this . It crashed because heat coming off the plane in front of theirs engine melted the ice and it refrozen on the back of the wings and caused the plane to pitch.

  • It is fake if it was reel you would hear a alarm tone sayin pull up pull up beep beep beep pull up pull up but there was no tone

  • @TheExtremeGreenBeans - I agree, you would have all kinds of stall warnings going off. Why can we hear them?

  • The story is quite real and there were a couple of different documentaries made about it..

    I could be wrong on this one but I believe this is actually parts of one of the documentaries strung together to sound like the cockpit voice recorder simply because I remember watching one of the documentaries not to long ago and I remember it sounding a lot like this post

  • @TheExtremeGreenBeans Google Air Florida Flight 90 and tell me how fake it is. It's not fake. This really happened on January 13, 1982.

  • @starwarsrebel2006 I was on the bridge coming out of DC when the plane went over and in. It wasn't fake.

  • @1rewd1 I know it's not fake. I was just telling TheExtremeGreenBeans that. I wasn't there but I saw it on the news when it happened.

  • @starwarsrebel2006 I was just backing you up, lol.

  • @1rewd1 Ok. Thanks for the backup, lol.

  • @1rewd1 so u saw the whole thing???

  • @TheExtremeGreenBeans you`re a fucking idiot.

  • Oh man....

  • как это грустно, печально, это тяжело слушать... но это убеждает меня помнить о том, что мы смертны, порой беззащитны перед роком... несчастные люди

  • thats one hell of a crash at the end

  • how was this able to come out in public? this is really terrible..

  • OMG it kinda disturbing when you hear the sound of the plane crashing..

  • Sad and RIP to victims, thoughts with thier families

  • Why does it sound like a jumpseater is smoking a bong throughout this crash?

  • That's the stick shaker warning the pilot of an impending stall.

  • @PIlotrcm, I think you are probably the one smoking a bong while you're watching this video...

  • That is not funny. Seventy eight people died in this crash and you think its funny? This is a very sad thing. What if it was your family that died that day, would you want other people to laugh at your loss? I dont think so. Think about that next time you go on making bonehaed posts about serious things you asshole.

  • @warhawk4545 Just let the idiots post away; unfortunately there's no law preventing people with low IQs from touching computers. Pity the life that lies ahead of them.

  • @PIlotrcm

    Coincidence?

  • thats the stick-shaker you dummy @PIlotrcm

    

  • BLUB BLUB...

  • I remember this crash like it was yesterday. It's weird this crash has been seen on the news recently. Just this morning,,last night I left the TV on,,I was awoken to the sound of the stick shaker.. Before I could open my eyes I heard the second officer say the readings didn't seem right and the Captain say otherwise and trump the concerned co-pilot. It was clear it was pilots failure and disregard.. Too complacent in the cockpit. Not enough experience..

  • My former kindergarten teacher was killed in that crash. My family had just moved from Maryland to NC, and news of the crash added to the disorientation.

  • I am deeply sorry about your kindergarten teacher. I loved my kindergarten teacher very much. A lot of irreplaceable people died on AF 90 that day. Hope you adjusted to NC and have a happy life now. That's undoubtedly what your kindergarten teacher would want.

  • How could this idiot be allowed to fly

  • OMG, the sound of the ending to that recording will haunt me for some time.

  • they sure are.

  • `we`re going down Larry`

    `I know`

    horrifying.

  • My father was on that flight. I was a 14 year old child and it was a horrible experience. I haven't heard the recorder until now.

  • You doing okay after hearing it, lawgirlable?

  • @lawgirlable So sorry to hear that. I just watched the story about that tragic day on the weather channel. So sad to think it could have been avoided. I would feel angry I guess...at least at first.

  • @lawgirlable I am so sorry about your father. I was 11 yrs old, living in the DC area, when my entire fifth grade class viewed the live footage of the survivors' rescue. I will never forget it. May your father rest in peace, Lawgirlable.

  • hey moe, we're going down.

  • @freqeist made me shiver a li

  • At 0:47 you can hear the stick shaker.

  • i dont belive she where there.. nop

  • My mom always used to tell me about this when i was a kid cause she was there...crazy

  • we're goin down Larry....

  • hey moe.
