bad landing

[JeremyB787]

This is actually an air crash, ya should know that. The A320 was doing a low pass with the scheduled altitude of 100 feet, but the plane went down to 30 feet due to instrumental failure.

[360GamerJP]

he was doing an airshow flyby, got it wrong don't believe me? look at this type in air crash investigation pilot vs. plane

[kozmon0t]

how come the title says bad landing, and the description says bad takeoff?

I've flown lots of sims and I doubt most pilots would trust a computer at low altitude. Not with a plane. Chopper maybe.

[greata7x]

The map of this airport which was given to the pilot before didn't show the forest over there, that's why pilot couldnt avoid crushing. Pilots did just what they were programmed.

R.I.P. victims.

[damiano776]

i have seen this footage on aircraft crash investigation,it was a real crash with many lives lost

[pilotdynan]

@damiano776

not many lives but 2 lives lost, 

[Bluesbrothe]

Som call it landing, I'd call it a crash...

[deputy1952]

This wasn't a bad landing or even an attempted landing. It was an attempted fly-by for the press and other people on the ground. The new fly-by-wire and computer system thought the pilots were trying to land and would not let them go-around. The computer continued to try to land the plane as it had been programmed to. Needless to say, the software was re-written after this incident.

[mine74]

You see that the landing did not understand how or accident.

[jessecruzu]

BAD LANDING?! ITS A CRASH!!! CHANGE THE TITLE!

[squawstar]

This was a tradgic accident. Over 100 people died in it. It was also the first public flying of the a320. The pilots had programmed it to pull up later. Their maps did not show the large forest. It didnt have time to pull up

[pilotdynan]

@squawstar

there were 2 lives lost, the rest got out, but anyway it was a tragic accident

[pilotedeligne25]

this isn't bas takeoff ! This is a missed landing and 3 people died in this crash !

[undelete84]

I want to be flown by a computer... not!

[germanchocolate1982]

Need your tree trimmed or cut down? Call Air France. We'll take care of all your pruning needs!

[jokinen1582]

and i wonder why global warming is getting worse?

[chris5812341234]

ops aircraft manufactures just caused another forest fire

[tracyterry]

WEINIE-ROAST!!!

[dml5583]

was a computer really flying that plane???

[natsplit]

no, this video is bullshit.

it was the first FLY BY WIRE plane. (means a computer is correting the pilot inputs)

every plane today is fly by wire.

but the plane didn't crashed bcuz of the computer, the pilots forgot to enable an anti-stall system

[slaneyboi]

@natsplit Every plane today is not fly by wire, and fly by wire does not correct pilot inputs. Fly by wire makes everything easier to control as at high speeds the ailerons and elevators have shifted positions ever so slightly which can affect the airflow over the wings surfaces. And only airbuses like this one, are fly by wire, the Boeing 727, 737, 747 and 777 are not fly by wire.

[MrEthan0329]

@dml5583 it was they were testing new planes that were flown by computers...thats why they still use people

[HDMGDH]

@dml5583 yes it was... there was no person inside

[B767rules]

only 3 people died

[thyson412]

bääm voll in wald

bääm full in the woods

[G4nt3ng22]

oh my god !!! what happen with that plane ?

[Smalls9090]

uh, it crashed...

[jon09593]

it wasn't landing. they were showing off the new plane and the pilot was too low and couldn't pull up quick enough.

[trucesav]

IS NOT A BAD LANDING!

is an error in the cpu of the airplane, the pilot was land with autopilot, and this is an accident caused from cpu.

it was a test flight!

[HugelyBig]

In case you didn't notice, it CRASHED. In plowed into a bunch of trees, and fucking exploded. There was a big mushroom cloud and no survivors.

So, yeah, it was a BAD fucking landing (even though it was meant to be a takeoff).

[DominoFaz]

Actually only a few people died, even though it does look like a major crash. The plane was ruined (obviously.)

[HugelyBig]

Only a few people died because only a few people were in the plane. It was an airshow.

[slaneyboi]

@trucesav It was an airshow, and it was a take-off.

[escaperoute2]

Bad landing? I thought it happened at takeoff

[ludo0077]

it wasnt a computer, there ware 3 cabin crew member inside of it, it was for a show in france

RIP

[GriffieRex]

You're right. I remember that airshow.

[padizzle]

Except that they didn't die....

[HugelyBig]

Yes they did.

[padizzle]

No, there were three deaths among around 100 people on board. Youtube comments, especially on aviation related videos, have to be the most retarded bunch of fucking crackers in the world..

[HugelyBig]

And if you'd look beyond youtube you'd know that this was, in fact, during an airshow and that there were only 3 people aboard.

[MrEthan0329]

@padizzle true that

[mgiannelis]

This aircraft went on to being the safest in the world! There was nothing wrong with the aircraft. It was pilot error. 90% of all crashes are

[SoonersFan19]

uh i think it missed the runway. lol

[hairesonyourchest]

well that was a failure

[segajin]

this is auto landing system test gone wrong

[SoClosex]

Microsoft flight simulator, you disappoint me. xD

[sexylauren123]

If Computers Ever Come To Flying Planes Ill Never Get On One Again Id Trust A Human Way More Then A Poxy Chip

[DirtyThing20]

i agree with u..

[digiwolff]

i third this

[derekli04]

so do i

[pedroanumber123]

ya totaly

[ImNoTeMoJuStNeRdY]

the description sais bad take off but the title says bad landing

[jrcostarica]

On Sunday June 26, 1988, the airclub at the airfield of Mulhouse-Habsheim in Alsace/France had organized with Air France a low approach of a brand new Airbus A320 in landing configuration. Michel Asseline was the pilot in command of F-GFKC, Pierre Mazière was his first officer. 3 passengers died in the accident and about 50 were injured.  Search as Flight AF296

[AyDavey21]

Am i right that this was a test at a French airshow?

There wasn't anyone on this flight was there.....hopefully not!!!

[a1mint]

I was going to buy a nice little cottage in the forest...

[Tomtheflyboy]

YOU SEE HOW CRAP WINDOWS VISTA IS? lol

now that was an expensive crash, are companies still testing this idea?

[popaddict]

They should have gone with Ubuntu. :P

[Plamen2007]

@Tomtheflyboy actually yes, they were lol. Otherwise fly-by-wire wouldn't exist today :D

[Cr4zyD4n93]

roflmao

[cag0034]

Didn't take the time to read through many comments...but most are very f**king wrong. The computer/FWB/whatever you want to call it performed flawlessly. The pilot was supposed to perform the fly-by higher. He was attempting to demonstrate alpha-floor (stall protection.) However, that protection goes away in direct control law (basic control mode that allows landing), which is active below 200' agl (I think.) By the time he realized the plane wasn't going to recover on its own, it was too late.

[padizzle]

Haha, the most informed comment in here, and people probably will say you made up the term alpha floor. COMPUTERS AND CYBORGS ARE FLYIN!>!!:??!?!?!?!! OH NO

[dolly76sa]

what i heard about this vedio is,,,it was a test flight with no passenger BUT its real

[HIFKhockey90]

is that real?

[666Vredesbyrd]

yes crash d' Habsheim

[Moumou727]

Also known as "NINTENDO-JET"!! lol! a french pilot told me that even his 12 year son could fly it... what hapenned here is 100% pilot responsability...otherwise, it's a greqt plane...

[mbzfolife]

oh no oh no lol

[Obpd]

ha ha ha ha

[seanliamreid]

OMG this is funny

[Shockate]

GG computers ! u rock ! i would love that computer to fly Bush's plane :))

[Duky1994]

oh no oh no lol !

[2129261184]

This was a test, not an airshow, in which Aibus was going to show the public its A320.

What happens is that Airbus gave an oppurtunity to the "public" to go onbord the plane.

What happened is that the FBW system of the aircraft failed during the fly-by making the pilot unable to climb, it was a software error, not pilot error.

Airbus was also very irresponsible to allow passenger during a tast flight.

[666Vredesbyrd]

That'ss wrong it's Habsheim 's crash

check on web

[RochdaleHappyGilmore]

Your wires are crossed, this was a test to see if a plane could fly unmanned.

[Smoznizjev]

Actually, it wasn't. It was a fly-by at an airshow, with full crew and even passengers on board. 130 passengers, six crew. Three passengers died, and the cause was determined to be pilot error. You can look up the facts yourself by searching for 'Air France 296'. In fact, the one and ONLY reason some people keep saying the plane was 'unmanned' is this very 24-second video, and the poorly researched and plain wrong comment in it. So no, not unmanned. Unfortunately.

[RochdaleHappyGilmore]

Oh, well in that case my error, I remember seeing this video about 1 month or so ago and reading the description on it.

[LUCIMIL]

Off course there were passengers on board u pricks. It wasn't test flight. 296 passengers dead inc pilots. Is that test flight?

[AirmanCylon401]

Unfortunatly, it was being controlled by a computer program for a weedeater

[lokjeffrey]

actually there were people onboard this plane, but they survived amazingly

[latinpapi1]

Are you people retarded, at the end the guy says "flown by a computer"

[Smoznizjev]

Well, the guy is wrong. It had a full crew AND passengers on board. See my other reply here for details.

[2129261184]

If you knew anything about aviation you would know that planes are flown by computer today.

There is a system on modern planes called Fly-by-Wire which controls the aircraft, when the pilot moves the stick, a signal is sent throught the FBW to a central computer which then accepts or rejects the pilot control input, if it accepts the input the the hidraulic are moved and thus the aircraft can be flown.

In this case the FBW failed and that happened.

The narrator is referring to the FBW.

[tonks0013]

actually, you are totally wrong. Do not talk about Aviation unless you know what you are on about

[2129261184]

I do know what i´m talking about, make a search for Fly-by-Wire or just stay ignorant.

[raderrader3911]

you are a bumb ass they dont use fly by wire on civlilan aircraft only on b-2 and f-117 stealth bomersand other flying wings

[slaneyboi]

@raderrader3911 LMAO F-117 cant have fly by wire as it is too old and it wasnt even around back then, and it wouldnt need it as it flies too slow AND furthermore EVERY SINGLE AIRBUS AIRCRAFT HAS FLY BY WIRE

[joel709]

it was remote controlled

[tomaselvis]

The pilot and crew died due to computer malfunction. The computer was locked in landing mode and the pilot wanted rize. To bad.

R.I.P.

[HanGookBoi]

wow ur really stupid arent you.. this was an test to see if airplanes could fly unmanned.

[tomaselvis]

No, I watched the discovery channel about this crash. You call them stupid?

[tussisussi]

NO IT WAS NO!! PEOPLE ON BOARD

[wazzmastermax]

So the pilot's and publicity crew not classed as 'people'?

'No passengers' is not the same as 'no people' Of course there were people on board.

[varun1704]

u sure there were people on board?

[creez34]

WHOA

[FeathersMcGraw1]

Did the computer controlling the plane crash? or was it the plane?

[tussisussi]

now THATS A chainsaw hehe=P

wery sad to loose a such a nice plane

air france

[throttlelever]

They ran MS-DOS in the FMC ...

[martyallthatime1]

lol

[pannono]

it was a flyby at an airshow

[myadder]

I like how everybody on here has different views on what happened in the video :) If you listen to what the man says, it was "the first fully automated plane". Computer, not pilot, computer. Also, according to the title and description it was both a takeoff AND a landing. Frankly it looked like neither to me :)

[markeez23]

It was most likely Microsoft Vista That caused it. That guy in the back round was a microsoft investor saying he wasn't going to give money.

OH no OH no OH no!

[MuayThaiBoxing]

Bullshit. Nobody onboard at all. Just a software glitch. Air France do have an iffy record though...sorry to say.

[craigjohnson12345]

This was at the paris airshow. The plane was being flown by air france's star A320 pilot. He was supposed to be showing what the airbus could do. The report said he couldnt see the trees cause of the angle of the aircraft. The engines get choked by the trees and couldnt power up.

[787A380]

You're right. The altimeter wasn't working and the pilot reported that it read 100 ft when it was actually 30ft.

[slaneyboi]

@787A380 Did the pilot really say that did he? Out of the loudspeaker system on his coffin then?

[WEIRDCANDY]

lol

[totopasbo]

die in hell. lol

[McCowsh1t]

I saw the on Discovery Channel too.

The plane was taking off and 3 crews were killed. Subsequent investigation have found that the pilots might have been horseplaying and failed to ascend.

[Patiriktirik]

ouch wat a waste of money

[Hectorpilot911]

noo, this is the first attempt to landing in fully controlled machine, nobodoy are on the plane.

[bedshow]

what a noobie-ass computer -_-

[PlanesForLife]

hahaha, True

[bedshow]

looks like it stall

[dkorda]

RIP.. peepz

[Poke777]

The comments are fake !

And this was not a landing, and not a take off.

Just a low pass, for an Air Show.

And the engines have not responded when the pilot push the throttle for climbing.

3 deaths in the crash.

Was in France. In Alsace, in Hazbeim

[PlanesForLife]

WRONG.

[JMK853]

Must have used Linux

[aatredes]

No, no people were onboard.

[BritishAgent]

Incorrect. There were 136 people on board, and only 3 people died. Pilots were in the cockpit, but it's their job to monitor the Fly-By-Wire.

[AlatusLeo]

Yes, there were people aboard.

[slipknotrules303]

no there werent. it was a test flight.

[Smoznizjev]

Yes, there were, and no, it was not a test flight. 136 people on board, three died. Search for 'Air France 296' for details.

[aatredes]

I saw this on Discovery Channel; actually this jet was taking off not landing.....

[VicKiller94]

There is people inside the plane ???

[30hourpunch]

houston ! we have a problem

[TheGoodDevil7]

hahaahahahahaha that's funny

[eylshazuela]

LOL

[ProctoLogic]

works great

[cobralover88]

and thats why i wont let the computer fly lol

[jazzmelody]

i work in computers. Computers trend to "brake". LOL
