Air Crash Investigation - The Crash of Flight 604 (HD) Full Episode

[underverser]

08:53 The captain is not trying to get his plane back on coarse, but tries to stabilize it to normal flight operation... ;)

[simontatt]

It seems that reluctance by a junior pilot to override a senior captain`s decisions will continue to be a cause or contributing cause of airline disasters. Younger, less experienced pilots need to be able to speak out and take over command in any critical situation if their input is likely to save the aircraft and those aboard. Also what is not discussed here is `Rudder Snap`. The tendency in some of the 737-300`s for the rudder to suddenly snap full left or full right, inexplicably.

[spacestevie2]

@simontatt "Rudder Snap" or rudder reversal, is a big bugaboo on the 737, but all the accidents have happened on the landing phase of the flight rather than the takeoff portion as this accident did. The rudder reversal was eventually traced to the rudder actuator being influenced by cold during flight.

[KILLUSALL92]

lol watching this makes me relay paranoid when i fly

[wham13456]

lame and fag wmo3 ip dp t900 heter aken

[argus46000]

I have seen so many of these investigations...It's funny that 99% of the findings include Pilot error, Pilot training, airline maintenence issues, extreme weather conditions and the ATC...MD, boeing and airbus manufactures are hardly blamed...

[aizad3755]

@argus46000 True. An aircraft is an extremely complex machine. It requires error free maintenance and flying in order to be a reliable means of transportation. The greatest commercial aircraft design blunder was perhaps the Comet jet aircraft.

[collegeman1988]

The fact that they didn't determine the exact cause of this plane crash is disturbing. It could happen again.

[doom996]

watching this on a plane is best way to troll.

[UltimatePredator100]

country! not state!!

[rsattahip]

It's amazing the extent the Americans will go through to protect Boeing from responsibility for a crash like this, they're just as biased as the Europeans with Airbus.

[VERGIS92]

@rsattahip Wrong, NTSB investigators are working in the interests of safety, improvement and making aircraft safer, if they had seen a proven mechanical failure, why would they hide it and risk 100s of more similar planes in service crashing? and there's no total competition between Boeing and Airbus, airlines are required by regulators to use both, neither one is allowed to dominate, and technology used is very similar

[jabbernaut52733]

at 34:41 data tells us that the nose pitched up, and the airspeed lowered. I'm not that smart on airplanes, but aren't these conditions capable of stalling the plane? If the plane turned to the right even slightly, the stall could increase the turn drastically, right?

I'm pretty sure there is a stall indicator on most planes. Could this be the broken electrical equipment noted earlier?

Just something to think about. Of course, there could be many problems with this theory.

[Pvjinflight]

@jabbernaut52733 Depends from speed that they had when nose pitched up.

Anyway still of course stall indicator failure would not have been ultimate cause for this accident. It doesnt seem anyway that they stalled but rather just banked and fell.

[sertox12345]

and again some who cant fly in charge

[TheLibertylobby]

Same thing happened in Pittsburgh n, indiana, japan

[Dosalt]

To question about deficiency in pilot training, there should be evidence to suggest it was indeed a pilot error. It's ridiculous how American investigators always take their plane's side.

It is very unlikely for three trained pilots to become disoriented at the same time, and even if it happened they will have time to correct it.

[looiedl]

@Dosalt ...Captains like this are the reason for modern crew resource management. The way you can hear him berating his first mate makes the crew timid and powerless to question his judgement. It's the same with Van Zanten. His selfish decision to refuel and rogue judgement cost hundreds their lives. The crew didn't become disoriented at the same time! The know-it-all captain did!

[Dosalt]

@looiedl That's all nonsence which make the cover-up story. Pilots are not there to intimidate each other or to become timid by other crew members. If your life is on your hands will you be timid (timid for what? I'm confused). my head hurts

[ColdClearNorth]

From my point of view they put too much emphasis on a possible disorientation of the pilot. Fact is: The plane banked righward and they could not fix the problem. This sounds very strange to me because banking rightward normally could have been easily corrected. There must have been a serious technical problem.

[Dosalt]

@ColdClearNorth American investigators trying to say "all three pilots went to sleep on the most critical moment on a flight - The take off ". Are you kidding me ? Read my other comment.

[glennjridge]

great quality. thanks for posting very interesting episode for a very sad event.

[michelleCZ]

@pharao707 and planes of well known companies dont crash? You should watch all episodes of this show ;-)

[soco13466]

There won't be as many tourists now in Egypt, now that the religious killjoys have taken over.

[rsx123]

Maybe left was Germany, and the french plane wanted to go away from it.

[Wykletypl]

So the captain was a former veteran of Egyptian Air Force... and he didn't know how to fly a passenger jet? Weird, cause military pilots have more training than civilian ones.

[Dorisequador]

Flying is safe  Just look..

[huvander]

Such a sad story.... RIP all those onboard ! Such a beautiful monument to rememeber the innocent souls ...

[MaxKoenig1]

@pharao707 Bullshit, every airline has to follow the safety regulations and every American Eagle pilot just did the same thing like a Swiss Air pilot.....

[Muneer0008]

i actually blame the captain for many reasons : disorientation could be happen to any pilot while he is flying the aircraft manualy he should of engage the auto pilot other ways he most trust his instrment HSI (horizontal situation indicator) that's the reason the factory made it ...! and the second thing the conversation between him and the co-pilot it shouldn't be done prior the flight .. there is houndred lifes of ppl in his hand he was careless by showing his stupid skils .. god bless us

[MsElamay]

i though there was no signal in airplane.how can the woman call her husband using her cellphone..weird

[looiedl]

Captain is a cocky beeach, just like van Zanten....

[imkoolkiller99]

why would they go that way there is much faster ways to get were they needed to go

[limonov01]

@pharao707 like air france?

[luckysod04]

I like how ACI uses the same cockpit insturment clusters for the close-ups.

[freebird20002012]

@pharao707

so called '3rd world' countries have much better airplanes than the west. eg: emirates is wayyy better than anything from US. so shut your high horses. US is becoming a 3rd world country lol

[GPMSharpCommand]

@freebird20002012 Well Emirates is a middle eastern airline which mainly operates in Dubai. Dubai is NOT a 3rd World country. I have been there, they all drive Ferrari's and Rolls Royce's because they made it rich in oil. But I do agree that US airlines aren't the best.

[ryan1111111555555555]

@freebird20002012 LOL you think Dubai is a 3rd world country, who are you? Bill gates??

[IToldHimNotToDoIt]

@ryan1111111555555555 according to the three worlds theory Dubai would be a third world country, according to others

[ryan1111111555555555]

@IToldHimNotToDoIt Well to be technical Dubai is just a city in the United Arab Emirates, and it depends what you mean by 3rd world, its not part of USA or the Federation of Russia then yes it would be 'third world' but as for economy and the general wealth of the country then No, its nowhere near third world.

[shahzad113]

@MissWooHoo1 Allah is everywhere...

[anddyx]

Not sure I believe this programme. Who on earth writes a postcard on holiday and then dosen't post it but takes it with them onto the plane. Were they going to hand deliver it or am I missing something here?

[AtheistBrit]

@anddyx I did that once when I bought a postcard but realised that by the time it reached home I would already be there. It's rare I suppose but does happen.

[saboter123]

why ask for the autopilot?????

[RJSyeah]

@pharao707 come on friend, this is a very ignorant comment. Every aircraft within commercial world regardless of whether it is a major airline or low budget and one are under very strict and extremely tight safety laws. They are always checked thoroughly and mistakes cannot be made. Look at Easyjet and Ryanair - perfect safety record..

[faithlao1]

where was superman ??? fuk allah !!

[faithlao1]

where is allah ? lol ...no such thing!!!!

[faithlao1]

@MissWooHoo1 where is allah ? lol ..no such thing !!!

[faithlao1]

where is allah ? lol ...no such thing

[ArnelGJandayan]

Dayummmmmmm!

[Thespechless1]

Stupid during crash people are calling their friends to say good bye silly-.-

[PhilipDK5800]

Any pilot should know NOT to engage AP when the aircraft is flying on it's side.

[aizad3755]

@MissWooHoo1 Good question. I think that an accident is really an accident- caused by someone messing up.

[vanillabeanduck]

Retard power!

[awadramy1]

IF IT AINT BOEING I AINT GOING...

[MrNotoriousaj]

44:00 The Egyptian investigators did not want to blame the pilot entirely because of his credentials, and the American investigators refused to blame the aircraft because it is American made, Boeing.

[sharppointy1]

Thank you VERY MUCH for presenting these investigations in HD. The look is 100 times better than the previously posted episodes.

[aizad3755]

@sharppointy1 Thanks. I am glad you like it

[aizad3755]

@sharppointy1 Thanks

[icearrow6]

@aizad3755

no, thank YOU!



[talkingpens]

@sharppointy1 Ill echo that statement!

[looiedl]

Greg Feith is the man!

[roggerfrogger2]

We really are a weird people, we drive and fly around at ridiculous speeds in our little tin boxes and it's completely normal

[aizad3755]

@roggerfrogger2 That is a very good observation. I suppose that if we drove and flew around in heavy bunker type contraptions, the G loading on our bodies due to sudden deceleration in an accident would still be enough to kill us. It is the speed that kills. The human brain and heart cannot withstand 100 G

[robertkrosl]

@aizad3755 i'm pretty sure that wasnt his point XD

[sparky47807]

@aizad3755 If properly restrained they can and do withstand that level of force. Otherwise race car drivers would never survive serious crashes. A fall from standing height in which one hits their head on an unyielding surface such as concrete or asphalt will impart approximately 300 g on the skull for a few tenths of a second. This was pointed out in a classic articles by Hugh DeHaven, one of the pioneers of crash survivability research.

Otherwise, your point is absolutely spot-on.

[KILLUSALL92]

@aizad3755 you can pass out at like 12G

[aizad3755]

@KILLUSALL92 Depends on the position you are sitting in. If you are lying almost horizontally, you may probably take 12G. In an aircraft, sitting upright and without pressure suit, even sustained 6G is likely to make you unconscious.

[JessicaTG2008]

@roggerfrogger2 I kinda thought the same way. I mean the average human is only 190 lbs (or less) but just to simply travel from point A to point B we use a mechanical machine that weighs more than 3000 lbs. That almost seems rediculous in terms of simply moving the average human in everyday life. I suppose thats the "bigger, faster, better" philosophy of human existance.

[RogueKnight12866]

There was no answers to be had in a mere eleven months, so those families should've shut their fat mouths, the damn idiots and left their stupid little protest outside that embassy. If not, it should've been crushed without mercy. Arrests, or worse methods.

[pbrew85]

The captin looks the same actor as "al batuti" on another ACI episode

[MrSunilgireesh]

Seems like this Air hostess works for several airline...

[JUFFAIR101]

i heard 737 has a lot of control problems?

[theblacksheep1000]

THANK YOU for U/L  these! Just subscribed!

[LetsGoFcukingMental]

@SlimeB0B ... ytf are they not made to float :/

[K131399]

i blame the wind

[ZephonTLucifer]

Egyptian arrogance - surprise surprise. 

[engrtito]

great crash..............:)

[Rayna0758]

RIGHT!!!!!!!! PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT IT LIES!!!!!! AIRLINE GOING BROKE!!!! CUTTING COSTS ON UNIMPORTANT SHIT!!!! LIKE PROPER MAINTENANCE!!! IMPROPER RECORD KEEPING THE RECORDS WENT DOWN WITH THE PLANE AS DID THE POOR ENGINEER.. OH THE AIRLINE WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AFTER THIS ACCIDENT JUST SO YOU KNOW!!!!!

[Dorisequador]

I love the fact they say nothings wrong with the plane the pilots were not trained well.

But their airlines when investigated found maintenace was not done as shcedualed and things were not fixed according to use. This is a huge problem.. they think parts last forever and when failing they change them.. You cannot do this ! Never ever. SO sad people lost their lives over this.

At least they were shut down.

[macgeek2004]

@matatanextreme

Don't be so ignorant. The Concorde was one of the safest aircraft IN HISTORY. In it's 40 _YEARS_ of service it only ever had *ONE* accident, and that accident wasn't even caused by a fault in the aircraft itself: it was caused because the Concorde had run over a piece of landing gear that had gone unnoticed that had fallen off a *DC-10* that had landed on that same runway IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the Concorde was told to use it to take off.

The tire kicked the sharp metal scrap into

[chynolito]

shocking shit

[mmkmmk22]

@pharao707 many luxury airlines had crashes over the past years !! it has nothing to do with paying a little bit less than other airlines , cause when u pay less you get less flight services such as food ,personal screens,...(etc) but u still fly the same aircrafts that many non low-cost airlines use's it .

[1991tomwarren]

How lucky must that bloke who changed tickets feel?

[electrohermit]

Military male macho attitude responsible for more deaths..... wow what a surprise.

[aizad3755]

@electrohermit Disoriented macho attitude!

[swaich1]

at 26:44 i thought why didnt they ask the ground engineer.................

[Supeyy]

@swaich1

well they said the engineer was also on the flight..so he was actually dead

[wasistdaswasdasist]

The behavior of the captain was very unprofessional- he was making fun of someone else in the cockpit.

I expect a captain to be more matter of fact.

[aizad3755]

@wasistdaswasdasist Absolutely correct.

[MsPucho21]

PERHAPS??? MF

[magellanmax]

Strange, since the ultimate cause of the crash could not be determined, everybody resorts to the most expected recourse- finger pointing.

[shukriahismail]

@magellanmax agree,finger pointing.indeed

[Baloney1011]

8:48 The artificial horizon shows that the plane is flying upside down!! BIG ERROR!!

[nextofkin99]

boeing 737 is worst palne ever made..... crap american planes........

[mcwolfus]

egos in the cockpit.

[aizad3755]

@mcwolfus Probably yes

[mcwolfus]

@aizad3755 Its amazing how one pilot pulled up in a stall in one crash I looked at.

[bvestationfan]

The only discount airline I would take is JetBlue

[noncents]

Cheers for the upload, great episode =)

[paulnbartley]

lack of training....faulty instruments found before flight and too late to fix.....dark unlit night with no horizon....owners keeping no service records....there is your chain of events that will cause the crash....game over

[1malakian]

whoa a whole episode cool!

[jeremyv11000]

I also blame the company for poor training and also the US didn't want to blame the plane because its american technology ( Boeing) and that would ruin our reputation

[aizad3755]

@jeremyv11000 There was nothing wrong with the aircraft. The crash was caused by pilot error alone.

[757american767]

@jeremyv11000 stop trying to be a backseat ntsb investigator

[matatanXtreme]

@jeremyv11000 Well the fact is that the US has been the only country that has ever grounded an aircraft fleet made in its own country, or example the DC-10 after theTurkish Airline crash and the MD-80 in year 2000 ( after air alaska crash ). Europe on the other hand allowed the comet, the A320, the concorde,ATR-42 to continue flying despite solid evidence of design flaws. get your facts straight.

[chibikawaiichris]

Excellent upload

[FridayNightization]

it's a 737 but when they show the passengers boarding they show a airbus

[aizad3755]

None. The advanced up-loader easily handles videos up to 1080p

[Chamath5]

@aizad3755 No the Normal uploader is better

[aizad3755]

Directly from youtube uploader

[ioannis21shum]

@aizad3755 Thanks very much for the help!!!!

[ioannis21shum]

@aizad3755 + did you need to take any step to upload it in HD?

[aizad3755]

I tried to upload it and it worked. I had never tried it before. I suppose that competition between social sites is making things better for us!

[ioannis21shum]

@aizad3755 thanks, for the quick respond, what program did you use to upload it?

[ioannis21shum]

How did you upload the full episode??????
