The Tenerife Air Disaster - Part 1 - Air Crash Disasters

[kbs1212]

@PassiveSmoking If you listen closely you can hear the narrator say rarely does a crash happen due to ALL of these causes he mentions, not MORE THAN ONE of these causes. I dont know about you but I have never heard of a crash from terrorism, weather, mechanical malfunction, technical trouble and human error all combined into one accident.

[LaKravenStudios]

"When a hydraulic failure causes the engine to be torn from the plane" (about 2 mins in). This is backward! The engine breaking away from the plane damaged the hydraulics.

[Odin197188]

@rock3tcat=lost in his own little fantasy world! Poor thing.

[cobweb657]

At 2.01 it is Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 that crashed into Comoros Islands..

[airplanebuilderman]

I agree with passivesmokeing another weeor at 2:01 it was a 767 not a 757.

[MobiusSpy]

Wait, wouldn't recreating the accident be suicide?

[alSation81]

adding fake flames to a crash picture ... necessary??

[Chukwillard]

my last name is Bragg.

[PassiveSmoking]

Barely watched for 3 minutes and already alarm bells are ringing regarding the quality of the research put into this. The American Airlines crash was caused by a badly executed engine change cracking a support structure for the engine which led to a fatigue crack failure a few flights later, not "hydraulic failure", and the statement that plane crashes are rarely due to more than one cause is completely wrong. There are usually several contributing factors.

[XtremeConnor]

There was actually a more recent aviation disaster that occured on purpose. Thumbs up if you want to know.

[airlegoland]

Plus it was a Boeing 767 not 757 and you're getting alot wrong

[raynus1]

@1:34: It wasn't hydraulic failure that caused the engine to fall off of the AA DC-10, rather, it was incorrect procedures for engine removal that cracked the engine mount bolts, resulting in the engine coming off, which severed the hydraulic lines, which caused the slats to retract on the left wing, which caused a the left wing to stall, which caused the crash.

[matatanXtreme]

@raynus1 correct!!

[The6thSimpson]

Do major arlines and jumbo jets still fly to tenerife? I only see things like eayjet 737s and charter flights

[benmaestro]

Rubbish show. Repeats showing the same shocking pictures over and over again - with crappy false animated flames, rather than giving any propper analysis. Go watch real mayday/ACI instead. Don't trust people who confuse a 757 and a 767 to talk about aircraft.

[funthing1991]

fucking biatches can't you just tell what exactly happened already? why to spend 8 mins for stupid meaningful epic phrases maafucka?

[kevjay777]

2:17 "Terrorists" my ass. Well yes, "terrorist" but not Muslims ones. Illuminati ones. May they all burn in hell. And of course they will.

[ultracairo]

Los... palmas.... where the fuck is that?.... LAS palmas....

[oreskec]

why then you built a airport in place where is 24/7 a fog????

[cjpepper60]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo

[HellYeeeeaaaahhhh]

Its not a good idea to watch this shit when your going on holidays in a week.. to tenerife ..FML

[bubby963]

Entirely KLM captains fault. There could have been as many factors as you want, if the KLM pilot had actually checked he was clear to takeoff, and not just guessed, this wouldn't have happened.

[kyostim]

This has kept me avoiding Canarian islands and i think i will never go the Tenefire.

[thenairolf01]

one woman was not on board and saved her live.

[Golditz95]

So if the KLM hadn't caught on fire after crash landing back on the runway, there would've been survivors?

[daaanNederland]

incredible: Our sweet KLM

[mahesh1231]

Unfortune..sorry for the people impacted.

Coincidence.. Its the same day ..March 27th it happend.

:(

[whatis252264]

Oh, good grief - the AA DC-10 engine separation in Chicago was not caused by hydraulic failure. These folks must have a goatherder for a technical advisor.

[goldbergje]

@whatis252264 I'm glad someone caught that.

[michaeljehn]

This is a very informative documentary but I agree 100% with Rotpig. Adding animated fire and smoke effects to historical photographs is ridiculous--a gimmicky revisionist act. Silly reenactments and hokey digitally animated recreations are just as bad and have marred many an otherwise serious documentary piece.

[tjf4375]

@michaeljehn Even more tacky is that many of the photographs used are from the Nairobi Lufthansa 747 crash, not Tenerife. It really makes me angry that programme makers continue to make these stupid errors, instead of doing a little bit of research.

[raulox71]

Robert Bragg is 100% right when he says: "You have to calm down". I agree. Van Zanten was a bitch.

[Rotpig]

The animated photos look totally FUCKED.

[NightCrimson]

fatalswoop1, yet Airbuses rules still, the Boeings are one of the most planes to crash in the world, whilst an Airbus isn't, even though there are more Boeings being used, the calculated number of Boeing crashes, outweighs the calculation of Airbuses crashed, even if the both plane were in a equal number of use. Europe's celebration re-initiated!

[2011LEGOFAN]

@NightCrimson You do not need to say that out loud. you keep your feelings to your self. you do not need to hurt other peoples feelings.

[Neno8403]

@NightCrimson In the last couple years, alone, there have been more significant Airbus crashes with loss of life, than Boeing crashes. Several A330 crashes which involved great loss of life. Looking at modern Boeing jetliners which includes the 737NG, 747-400 (sort of), 767-400ER, and 777, the 764ER has never suffered a crash and the 777 has only had one crash and that was a BA 777 at Heathrow. No one died. The 744 has crashed, none have been attributed to the plane its self. You're a dummy.

[bubby963]

@NightCrimson

The calculated number of Boeing crashes outweighs the calculation of airbus crashes? Did you just pull that of your ass? Haha yeah you did. Airbus is much worse than Boeing, and I am from the UK and hate USA, but Boeing makes much better planes, only has more crashes because THERE ARE MORE BOEING PLANES AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE LONGER. Also, most Boeing crashes due to pilot error, most airbus crashes are due to technical malfunctions ^^. P.S. the A380 IS UGLY

[NightCrimson]

@bubby963. Yeah, I get it. Anyway you're replying to a four month old comment that I don't even care about at all. If you must know, I did fabricate it, because, well, really I have no reason, it was just a wistful comment that I gave basically no effort into. Truthfully I don't care for planes really, so I can't identify what a A380 looks like, but I'll take your word for it, that it isn't a very attractive plane. You correct in your answer, oh well.

[ibea21]

@bubby963 I think you're true, though the A380 isn't really ugly. I like both companies equally, even though I've never been on an airbus.

[4freespeech]

See the wreckage from 0:37 to 0:43?

THAT is what would have been on the LAWN of the Pentagon

on 9-11 IF a plane had actually hit it, instead of a MISSILE

that just made a round hole.

[737747757767777787]

@ 1:58... its not a 757, the aircraft was actually a 767

[fatalswoop1]

That's because there are more Boeing plane in service than Airbus. Europe celebration fail.

[Aleixpb2]

@fatalswoop1 Because Boeing planes crash more often? Thats not a good reason. I've never been in a Boeing.

In Europe we ALWAYS use Airbus, it's more safety

[FixedNewsChannel]

@Aleixpb2 "It's more safety". What the fuck does that even mean? Should I take safety tips from someone who can't spell properly?

[Aleixpb2]

@FixedNewsChannel Ok, Shakespeare, it's more SAFE. Do you feel better? What a pedant... ¬¬ Everybody can make a mistake.

[Aleixpb2]

@FixedNewsChannel It's so funny that you correct my language skills... YOU american fool. If I make mistakes in English is because it's not my mother thongue. I speak 2 languages perfectly (Spanish and Catalan) and I'm learning English.

What about you? ONLY ENGLISH??? haahah how retarded...

[ClassicMusicOnly]

@fatalswoop1 That honestly doesn't mean anything. If the aircraft are safe enough the probability of them crashing is lowered automatically. Airbus has much less crashes because they entered the business when aircraft technology was developing extremely well. This increased safety standards which makes Airbus statistically more safe than Boeing. However, by now both are equally safe and great companies producing great planes. Its simply a matter of opinion.

[xlegendzx3]

@fatalswoop1 fail airbus is the pilot u won't fly a airbus the airbus wil fly the pilot thats, weak

[hamellious]

@fatalswoop1 nb that the boeings crash cuz the planes are versatile and easy to handle so pilots push to planes to limits and the terrorist always jack it cuz its so sexy not even Airbus can handle so yeah FUCK YOU AIRBUS

[rock3tcat]

@fatalswoop1

Boeing: 100 years of shit.

Airbus: 40 years of good but not great stuff.

Americans: semi mentally challenged patriotic failures

Me: LOL

[warierjoshboy]

I like how most plane crashes happen in boeings not airbuses Europe rules

[DBCBoy618]

The 1996 HIjacked Plane was a 767, not 757...

[Crosisborg]

The worst air disaster in aviation and it happens on the ground. Go figure

[Fangsout1]

@Crosisborg

The ground is the most dangerous place for a plane to be. Near it or on it.

[VictorPronosov]

"How did this happen?" KLM pilots? (next to russians they are)

[Tobizz3]

the flames moving in the pictures should be cut off, its not the natural picture anymore. RIP

[pilotdave1000]

now this is the best air crash disaster in history

[Christoo92]

The African water landing was done by a 767.

[mw2orblackops]

@Christoo92 i thought it was a 737

[kerimil]

OMG yet another horrible boeing crash

[9806mani]

I've been there. very nice place

[floatingzap]

Backing up comgeek24's comments, though what actually led to the crash was the uncommanded retraction of both slots and flaps as a result of severed hydraulic lines in the wing, caused when the number 1 engine parted company.

[Hendrex40]

OMG at 0:24 to 0:26 you can see the KLM cockpit ripped off the plane

worst crash ive seen

[kenan49]

what a shit dokumentation^^ in 1978 an md 80 crashed on 1:57 a 767 was hijacked ^^

[jakfuki]

And that black and white pic of the burning 747 on the ground was a Lufthansa plane that crashed on takeoff in Africa back in the seventies. That was one of, if not the, first loss of a 747.

[zamileo]

Przetłumaczy ktoś to na język polski...

[kerimil]

@zamileo

Ja ci przetłumacze - oglądałem tych filmów masę i seria mnie wkurwia. Przy każdym wypadku airbusa podkreślają jakieś 40 razy nazwe producenta i sugerują że coś nie tak z samolotem. Gdy podobny wypadek zdaży się boeingowi to nagle skupiają się na innych powodach katastrofy a nazwy producenta nie wymieniają. Filmik może fajny ale to amerykańska propaganda

[Joss2012]

There were to many coincidences for this accident, 1st Gran Canaria terrorist attack a bomb exploded, overcrowded runway, delays, radio signal not working, human error by the radio control, and weather.

[alphamone]

@Joss2012

uhhh, a number of those "coincidences" were DIRECTLY caused by the preceeding event, and the stuff with the radio is a fact of the way radio transmision works.

[thesolimanz]

UMMM

update the details for the Video

[comgeek24]

Um, I hate to be that guy, but the Chicago crash in 1979 (American Airlines Flight 191) happened because the engine broke off the wing due to shoddy maintenance procedures, not hydraulic failure, although the hydraulic failure WAS what caused the plane to go out of control and ultimately crash.

[nanomusic]

The Ethiopian Aircrash that was hijacked is a Boeing 767 not a Boeing 757

[TheTenchLOVER]

im scared of planes

[krugerfuchs]

@TheTenchLOVER flying is the safest form of transport if everyone does their job there should be no problem it's getting the likes of the faa to do things on safety instead of going for money hey when i get my pilot's licence i'll take you up and you can have a go if you want

[taketheredpillnow]

07:19 = On December 6, 1999, at about 8:35 p.m., United Airlines flight 1448, a Boeing 757, was involved in a runway incursion on runway 5 Right at Theodore Francis Green State Airport, near Providence, Rhode Island. At the time of the incident, it was dark and the reported visibility was one-quarter mile.

watch?v=qUDFY5qlTSA

[Sirwest299]

WHOA!

[Gaua1]

Why do these spanish tower controllers sound as if they were Mexican? English can be very different if it is Latin or Spanish from Spain. I`m Spanish and I think they could have been more careful with the reconstruction, surely Spanish english doesn't sound like that, and they physically look more like Mexican than like from the Canary islands. A negative point.

[alphamone]

@Gaua1

This show was made in the US (I think, I havent seen this particular documentary series), and most shows made there don't realy care about the differances between European Spanish and Latin American Spanish (In terms of language, culture and people). Mostly because there are way more latin american spanish people than european spanish people in the US.

[Gaua1]

@alphamone Yes, I think you're all right ... They don't care (or even not know know) the difference. I remember when I saw on TV a group of US students that were asked about where they thought Spain was in a map, and 94% of them located it somewhere under Mexico ...

[burnbabyapril]

Can anyone share more on this TV show itself?

It's called Most Deadly.

Was it a series? What channel was it on?

When was this aired?

Anyone? Poster?

[COLONEL961]

its on geographic channel,which is free on virgin just for the moment.the dutch captain got really pissed off,-he had a very long day,and he was itching to go home

[ka3boool2010]

Damn~ !! thnx man for da video

[Julzermin14]

holy fuck!
