@buckachiddy Actually, that would be the lateral or transverse axis around which the aircraft rotates its pitch.

Sad hate to see it

Failure due to control yolk locks not being checked {OFF) before takeoff...

Wow! Thanks!

@737boeing8 Yep, same airport. The east runway is still in operation and the decommissioned west runway was a dragstrip. The Gimli Glider 767 landed on the dragstrip.

Gimli---Same place that the infamous Gimli Glider landed at? Woah!

@pogachini This Caribou was a conversion to turboprop by NewCal Aviation. N400NC. It crashed in Gimli, Manitoba on August 27, 1992. Check out the other videos of this crash here, which are longer. Also, radials do not make that sound. Cheers.

Actually a little wrong in this case. This was a crash in 1992, the Caribou had been converted to turboprop & this was its first test flight. Stupidly the pilot in command failed to remove the control surface locks, thus had no elevator control .. A basic failure of preflight proceedures.
Here's the full video ... read the posters description.

Toober52, I agree with you.
What a bunch of jerks with the asinine coments. Don't some of these poor excuses for humans have a freaking life? Learn about what you are seeing, before making comments about a tragic incident, and saying something is fake.Also,learn something about how precious life is. IF and when you grow up, you will realize how absurd your comments are.
