de Havilland Beaver Plane Crash at Lake Hood (HD)

jep ^^

Huh, didn't even notice the sock.

Yeah that's the NTSB report..... From my observation, he should have kept the nose pointed into the wind. If you look at the windsock, it's clearly coming from the direction of the initial takeoff "roll"

I don't believe the tailwind, it's pretty obvious he was over gross....

I would have said overloaded, but rewatching it does look like a crosswind hits it. And if that was a quartering tailwind it could cause issues, although apparently wind didn't exceed 3 knots...

Either way, he should have aborted the takeoff - he had a ton of water to the right to do safely do that.

Was what you wrote speculation or from an official report? It sounds like the latter...

i mean pay without doing n learning shit

do people pay for the licenses???? wtf

dumb ass killed the poor Beaver

Jeeeeesus!!! HOW LUCKY WERE YOU!!!!

this would have 100,000,000 views if some1 died in it.

The private pilot was operating the floatplane under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. He received clearance to takeoff from the west waterway. The airplane was on step, gaining airspeed, and the takeoff run seemed normal to him. The airplane was nearing takeoff speed and proceeding directly down the waterway, when it encountered a right quartering tailwind gust that lifted up the right wing and float.
