Air Crash Investigation Ocean Landing Part 4

Air Crash Investigation MayDay Ocean Landing Part 1 out of 5. On 23 November 1996, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 (a Boeing 767) was forced to do a ditch after running out of fuel but the aircraft broke up as the wings hit the water, killing 125 people. The aircraft ran out of fuel because hijackers did not believe the pilots, that the aircraft did not have enough fuel to make it to the hijackers' planned location, Australia. The pilot was forced to, while battling the hijackers for control, ditch into the open ocean-past the African coast and too far from Madagascar-near a small island chain. Surprisingly, many people inflated their life jackets in panic while inside the aircraft, and did not survive because of this mistake.

@Dangthom

lol yes but this was a far larger aircraft, landing in choppier waters, and without any sophisticated instruments since power was lost when the engines failed

the hudson flight was more prepared and its captain didnt have hijackers breathing down his back

[iJustFlyDammit]

@MegaBluestarfish

lol good question

i got no good answer =D lool

[iJustFlyDammit]

@MolokoPlus1980

no doubt, its pretty rare for pilots to survive major crashes, what with their vulnerable position in the cockpit

[iJustFlyDammit]

@bvestationfan

LOL HILARIOUS

wouldnt even need to hijack it well it would be a funny hijacking to ask the pilot to fly u to where he was already going lol

but nah-the tickets were too expensive LOL =D

[iJustFlyDammit]

@BraeDoktor

but keep in mind the plane is already going slow from losing both engines and becoming a multi-ton glider

if he stalled it too high, it would become a stone and crash right down

plus flaps require engine power to move their motors so it isnt really a viable possibility on big jets

[iJustFlyDammit]

@KhongDaniel

omg i can imagine him getting beast mad and just going crazy about their stupid demand to go to Australia and like break all the glass gauges pointing out their is NOT ENOUGH FUEL lol

he got hijacked like three times before so he would know what to do lol

[bvestationfan]

smarter to just hijack a plane that was actually flying to Austrialia

[funnyguy1ize]

@Dangthom i was on that and i was 19

[grizzlybear1900]

This real passenger keeps laughing in his interview . It's very annoying !!! He doesn't have any respect for the lives lost and his own luck that he survived !! Idiot !!!

[MrSheepman646]

captain leul is a great pilot to say the least

[Nissan2506]

The plane that want to make an emergency landing on water should brake their plane.Turn APU on,flaps,to slower the plane.And MUST hit the TAIL FIRST,then the front.

[Nissan2506]

inflating life jacket inside plane=R.I.P

why?because u will lift up to plane's ceiling and trapped.u can't move anymore.

[mawga18]

@iJustFlyDammit ...I agree...I hate when people try to compare this landing with that of the plane that landed in the Hudson...they are 2 completely different scenarios.

[pre76dator]

oh they probably couldnt inflate the life jackets cause the plaine was still in motion so when the plane broke apart debris wouldve jabbed them causing them to deflate so they cant stay buoyant in the water

[Dangthom]

well that US airways flight that landed in the hudson had its engines below the flaps (A320) aircraft...
