  • There's a mistake: air inter was not business passenger oriented, it was more comparable to a domestic easyjet-like carrier.

  • There were many causes why did this plane crash but only with lack of one particular cause the accident would ve never happened. I wonder...

  • Haven't these people heard of a train?

  • 0:03 Retarded scream XD

  • haha at 9:35 he yells merde which means shit in french....explain that editor lol

  • so a random 600 ft increase in att. is a emergency?

  • The captain had a plane up his ass even before the crash. He's so irritated.

  • 44:17 = Bill Murray

  • @Mecaham Haha thought the same thing.

  • @gorillachilla

    becuase the world uses a lot more American planes than a low quality russian planes

  • 0:44 - "Before investigators can begin searching for what caused the crash of Air Inter flight 148 they must first find the plane" ... Now there is a statement of the blinding obvious if ever there was one!!

  • A GPWS may have warned the crew of the steep descent they might have heard 'Sink Rate' of even more serious 'Whoop Whoop pull up'

  • apparently the last thing heard on the CVR was the radio altitude callout for 200 ft

    but a GPWS if it didn't prevent the crash it would at least warn the crew.

  • Isnt the french controller the co-pilot of the Turkish Airlines DC-10?

  • I never have trusted French pilots, and never will. Though there are not tons of fatalities in Air France crashes, they are freakin' record breakers when it comes to wrecking planes. I'm starting to feel like the aircraft manufacturers should hand all their aircrafts to French pilots for testing, because then they can be certain that even the biggest moron can pilot it, making it foolproof.

  • @Nariasan

    you should never trush russian pilots lol only american pilots

  • @Nariasan given AF's records, this is not surprising at all...

  • @Nariasan Not fair attack the French Pilots, there are bad pilots all over the world. Curiously, Air France have dubious "first" with Airbus aircraft (mostly bad luck). First fatal and hull loss on an A320 with the infamous tree landing. First hull loss on A340, the one burned to crisp and the other overran a runway, first fatal hull loss on A330. First hull loss on Concorde (not really an Airbus, but BAE once had Airbus shares)

  • @Nariasan It is because they fly airbuses... They give basically no manual control to the pilots, so when the computer messes up, freezes, or even unnoticeably glitches for a second, the plane is in the hands of a compromised system of circuit boards and hydraulic fluids. But yeah, I guess it is a bit more than that on the pilot's part.

  • That pilot Arnoux seriously looks like Bill Murray.

  • @bnwy47 A french ghostbuster!

  • It was also to do with mode confusion and the pilots using the wrong setting on the autopilot. There was a safety feature missing on Air Inter's A320s - the GPWS - which is why you don't hear "Too Low - Terrain" in the reconstruction. This omission was deliberate - the airline did not fit GPWS as it feared it would affect punctuality, and thus lose Air Inter business to SNCF's new TGV trains.

  • It was, due to an institutional lack of pilot training with the new Airbus 320, an obscure safety feature of that plane, and a sudden upwind. Everything was decided within half a second.

  • Stupid French!
