Actually, it was not pilot error but a flight computer programming error...

Yep. And you are correct, the text is inaccurate in quite a few places actually.

@craig06ful whoopwhoop who are you oh i hope you were on one of the planes that hit the twin towers u queer kunt

[roachandraine]

i have reported aircrashinvest to google for the lies in this clip. i sugest everyone else who hates this bullshit do the same. from a proud New Zealander

[roachandraine]

Aircrashinvest your a wanka, The managment of AirNZ lied and covered up to truth at a royal commision of enquiry, and after all these years nobodys who like to think they are no-alls come up with this rubbish, even rananim3 is full of shit, it angers everyone in New Zealand who remember this dredful day that such inappropiate crap appears on utube.

The blame is shared between the Pilot in Command,the airline and the CAA.The Pilot flew below MSA using INS to make an approach to the Sound.The airline changed the coordinates of McMurdo the night before and didnt tell the crew.And the CAA allowed DC-10 pilots to go to Antarctica with no previous visit required and no whiteout briefing.I think CAA and Air NZ are most at fault but PIC must also be included in the reckoning as PIC must always know where he is when below MSA.

Not offensive. It was a computer recreation of an accident.

@AdamJLemon It was not pilot error, get your facts straight, it was a wrong flight path programmed into the plane. The mistake was not made by the pilots but by Air NZ

@Sickkboy78 Also, the plane departed for antarctica from Christchurch, not Auckland.

disgraceful . there are several books you may want to read on the subject of this accident. the enquireis have not finshed yet , as we ( staff , relatives & media ) wish to weed the REAL culprits out. this video is , as the others say , disrespectful , and offensive

Yuck. Cheap, nasty and obviously done in what, 1 hour on FSX? I wouldn't normally mind, but this is so ridiculous and uninformative that it is almost idiotic. Shame on you, this is very disrespectful and offensive to all the Erebus victims.
