Real video of Crash MD82 Spanair Madrid !!

[Jetters234]

ouch

[MrDoodahdave]

I have seen this problem during my many years of flying the DC9/MD80 series. Most pilots visually check the flap/slat setting several times before takeoff. Some airlines teach the technique of pushing the throttles forward before take off to check for a configuration horn, and in this situation, they wouldn't get a warning horn because the airplane already thought it was in the air. Very sad situation.

[MrDoodahdave]

The original problem was that the nose strut was over-serviced and that switched the aircraft systems into "air" mode. The reason for the delay was that the Thrust Rating Indicator was showing an erroneous power setting because the Ram Air Temperature gauge was receiving heat (it only receives heat when in the air). The mechanic put the TRI on maintenance deferral without realizing the airplane was in air mode, and the take off configuration warning (flaps warning) only works in ground mode.

[KARABOUDJANUNO]

This is a real video taken at Barajas airport in Madrid, the reason for the accident was the desconnection of the flaps alarm, this caused a stall on the take off and the final crash on a small river near the ariport. Many casualties.

[ShihosPride1313]

The frames that are cut out seem odd.. .plus the fact that plane is going way to fast on takeoff

[airplanes66]

@ShihosPride1313 it is cctv footage not great quality

[nine11vid]

check the face in the smoke at 5 to 6 seconds

[piotreyjsky]

00:01 no comment give a normal video orginal.

[warjakeboy]

omg

[redlinerumble3]

omg

[QuikdrawlMcgraw]

speede up too looks like its 1500 mph

[Rostokouban]

incredible that some people survived...

[krirre]

i wonder if they had time to react or if they died really fast? sad to see

[Fastopen]

Seems to be several frames skipped, I dont know why, maybe these frames are under investigation, not for the general public.

[Funfisique]

American Crappy Plane at its best...

God Bless the Victims... Lawyers will bless Boeing as they will get 20% of the money this company will have to pay them...

If ain´t Airbus...ain´t crashing

[mbtkabjd]

thats just bone chilling to watch. horrible way to die

[Turkorican1978]

good god.. RIP

السبب الحقيقي للحادث هو عدم خروج الجنيحات"flaps"

[lonewolfintj]

The investigation showed that the pilots attempted to take off with flaps and slats set to 0 degrees. They apparently rushed through the checklists and didn't actually CHECK, resulting in the death of nearly every person on board. This was a clear case of involuntary manslaughter on the parts of both the pilot and the co-pilot. Fortunately, they gave themselves a self-inflicted death penalty, saving the need for a trial. Grade of pilots: F. Grade of video: C (jerky, blurry). Stars: 3

[UHF43]

@lonewolfintj That's a highly biased comment. The investigation also shows that there were other factors that had an important role in the fatal ending. First of all, you should know that the plane had a failure that delayed the take off for more than an hour. The technicians disabled some non-core circuits and set the plane to the "Minimum Equipment List ".

[UHF43]

Questions rised over they could have also disabled some other relay or actuator making the pilots believe that the flaps and slats were correctly set up. By that time, the pilots were already in a rush, because the flight was too late. That can explain that they didn't check the flaps and slats again - That's the pilots' only fault. But trying to take off with a wrong set up only explains that the aircraft wasn't able to ascend.

[UHF43]

The plane didn't crashed right after this failed attempt to take off. If you take a closer look at the video, you can see that it keeps sliding INTACT over the track until sec. 4, when it reaches an embankment and falls, then it explodes. I just can't understand why that embankment is there, so close to the track. It also complicated the rescue services work, that had a hard time trying to get to the injured people.

[ShokaLion]

@UHF43 To be completely fair though, by the time a plane reaches that embankment, it should be quite a way up in the air. At the end of the day, this was a plane crash. Criticizing the airport design because, a good four or five hundred feet beyond the runway there is an embankment is no different to complaining that it a mountain is there when a plane crashes into it. At the end of the day, the plane shouldn't have crashed. What it hits is irrelevant.

[UHF43]

Sorry, but I don't agree with you. Mountains are not man-made, airports are. The bad design of the airport lanes is obviously not the direct cause of the crash, but it worsened the effect of the crash since it difficulted the rescue of the victims. Cities sorrounded by mountains have always had troublesome airports, but this is not the case. They should have preview that the embankent was way too close to the track. It would have not prevented the crash, but It could have saved lives.

[ShokaLion]

@UHF43 All I mean is, how far do you take it? You can't cater for every eventuality. As long as the airport is safe for the extremes of take off and landing, that is sufficient. Anything outside those limits, and there's likely to be a disaster whatever happens. When you look at the speed this plane was travelling at when it left the runway, I can't imagine there'd have been much less of a disaster had the embankment not been there. If it'd stayed in one piece I'd have been very surprised.

[tircalina]

Casi cuarenta minutos tardaron en llegar las primeras ayudas ya que los servicios de emergencias no sabian como acceder a la zona. Quien sabe cuantas personas se podrian haber salvado si los pastos se hubieran apagado antes que los heridos murieran carbonizados.

[UHF43]

@tircalina Eso es porque el avión explotó al salirse de la pista y caer por el terraplén hasta un arroyo al que era casi imposible acceder. Sorprende que se permita construir un aeropuerto con semejantes alrededores agrestes, porque no hablamos de un avión que se cae a 2 kms del aeropuerto, sino de uno que se sale de pista y a menos de 200 m tiene un terraplén enorme que tuvo gran influencia en el fatal desenlace.

[guille8001500]

igual que hay accidentes de coches, los hay de aviones. Lo que me sorprende es que no hayan mas accidentes dado que los aviones tienen una cantidad increible de aparatos y dispositivos indispensables para el vuelo no pueden fallar. Respecto al combustible ya se han investigado compuestos para retardar la ignición y el posterior incendio que lo que más gente mata, pero no hay nada que hacer.

[lucas651651]

alomojor esque las compuertas de las maletas se la abrieron ys se pararon los motores.a mi me paso lo mismo solo que el avion gracias no despego.nos fgaltaba un pelin pas despegar y !!!pummm!! el avion se para.

[nepalikhancha93]

freaking retard. pilot jobs are to fly not to kill people. if pilots job is to kill people then when you fly on plane.. who flies the plane? ur grandpa? maybe you so poor didn't even fly in the plane once.

think before you say something

[MuerteQuerida]

Accidents happens. Is the only thing that you must know. Like cars, airplanes can suffer accident at any time, is fatal, but is a casuality.

[lonewolfintj]

Yes.

[fluffycheep]

Pilots did not extent the flaps on takeoff. It's as simple as that really. Unfortunately. And nothing to do with McDonnell Douglas or Boeing. Like a lot of plance crashes though, it is the fire and smoke that kill, not the impact. There has to be a way or somehow neutralising the fuel to make it not ignite. Terrible.

[FAlonso22]

Please shut up. The CLB MODE was activated during takeoff, which caused the error. In the cockpit recorder you can listen to the flaps checklist before takeoff. The problem was that the flaps didn't work and with CLM MODE on, the alarms didn't call off.

human error (clb mode) + mechanichal error (flaps didnt work)

[fluffycheep]

Hang on a second here amigo. Did the pilots extend the flaps or did they not extent the flaps? So there is a mistake then between man and machine. There was a breakdown somewhere along the chain of command and therefore the flaps of the MD82 failed to extend on takeoff. End of story. The pilots failed at the end of the

[tunkunrunk]

i agree ,airplane manufacturers have to find a way making plane not to burn so quickly .fuel tanks are into the wings and between them ,engine are near the floor and can hurt everything

[MuerteQuerida]

yeah! Maybe they can put a trunk or a over-roof box to put de AvGas... and engines... why they need engines, only delete it and... you will have the old chevy of your grandpa parking outside your home, but it is bigger....

If airplanes uses the wings as tanks is by a reason... ignorant

[alanamp]

uh! so sad RIP all the people who died :(

[elchito86]

i think thats not the real video this is FAKE!!

[DiegusMaximusMS]

that ain't fake at all

[tunkunrunk]

stupid guy ! it's not fake , the day your plane crashe you won't say it's fake

[lajjarna]

Sad :/

These things should not happen!

[pulsejet1]

Things will happen. A good quote from an NTSB investigator goes, "Gravity is constant and speed kills. The two of them together can be destructive."

Life is dangerous.

[whatevtube]

Why is there such a jump in the frames near the beginning?

This seems like normal video then sudden replacement of CG. What's with the jump?

[FRENCHGRIZZLY]

Yea, I looked the video frame by frame when re encoding and it realy miss frames... It's the video given to journalists.

[fluffycheep]

It does skip, you are right. My only thought on it must be that they cannot release the full footage until the investigation is complete. Fucking awful.

[Flow198812]

@whatevtube CG? you're watching too much TV. ever thought of the possibility that perhaps airport security cameras are not the best? it's not like in movies, where you see in high definition every detail of the explosion. this content was captured by a poor surveillance camera, wonder that one can even recognize ANYthing.

you can make a conspirancy out of everything, just like 911 ("the thing flying into the towers doesn't look like a plane! the videos were all manipulated!")

[whatevtube]

@Flow198812 I simply question the vast change in frame-rate.

[Bertonaldo]

fudeu

[lo898]

Terrible! My deepest simpathy to the families of the casaulities.
