Alaska Airlines Flight 261 ATC Recordings [Full Audio]

[ibdangler]

Good composure for the ATC considering the conditions. Not much one can do at that point. The pilots are heroes in my book. They did everything they could and were trying to even fly inverted. Such a tragedy but once again it put light on poor maintenance.

Today 12 years ago we remember those onboard who lost their lives aboard this flight.

January 31, 2000 - January 31, 2012

All from a lack of grease on the jackscrew for the elevator resulting in it stripping loose from the nut.

@dgl1962  Pretty much, very sad.

@weirdosack Lets hope he runs out of these up to 2011! Remember peoples lives were ended here!

@Helicopterpilot16 Good point their mate. I totally agree with you. I hope I do not upload anymore videos of air accidents. Lets hope that we learn from these mistakes so these are NOT repeated.

[Helicopterpilot16]

@FLT111 I just can't Imagine what the people in the cabin were going through.

[FLT111]

@Helicopterpilot16 It's best not to think. I hope that many of them were uncontious long before it hit. Probably would have been better so they dont see the end coming or experiencing horror in that final minute dive. I made a small documantry about this accident using flight simulator. If you have time check it out. just copy what im about to paste now and put:

Kindly regards FLT111

Very good! Thank you for the upload, greater quality, greater sound. I think Alaska Airlines MD-80 look so nice in that livery. But stuff those maintenance.

Thumbs up fi you think John Liotine Rules! He tried his best to save an accident like this happening, but the airline put him off his job -.-

Thanks for the upload very much, very good quality. Poor pilots poor passengers.. it just annoys me how maintenance could do something like this. I dont blame MD-80 just Alaska Airlines and their crummy maintenance!

Please upload more.
