Lucky they only lost one.
poor basterds
Boeing could have had life test the parts. This is were the money people have too stop trying too be aviation engineers!
Why is a 34 year old captain and a 57 year old with twice the hours first officer?
Another boeing!!!!! I'll bet the ceo (at that time) was real proud of his bonus!
Dan Air had a lot of crashes at that time. Can we have one of 1978 Sumburgh, UK Dan Air crash?
Lessons learned in blood. So unfortunate
Why do the always blame pilots first, how would you have time to trim when in landing and close to ground, how would they know what was happening anyways. Its all bollox. Thanks you.
The flight deck crew certainly had enough experience to have saved the plane if that had been possible. Appearances are they were doomed.
A pilots worst nightmare to be betrayed by the aircraft you are flying.
what 1 passengers
On crack sensitive critical parts…would pre assembly glass peening help resist crack precipition—even though the parts are 'soft' light alloy ?
How the hell is there only one passenger lol
This was definitely a hard lesson to swallow.
It is not uncommon in the field of aviation that the toughest lessons do come at a price.
Have Faith though. The Wright brothers took much for granted because very little was known… brush burns, broken bones and eventually even death would serve a greater cause. The need to advance our human curiosity by advancing human ingenuity and science.
Boeing airplanes are total shit.
Damn ,so close !
I had the amazing opportunity to stand right under the Presidential seal of the worlds most famous 707 Ronald Reagan’s Air Force -1.
Great video, I’ve subbed?
Could this structural failure have taken down the very flight that was lost with all that art about 2 million dollars worth of pictures paintings that went down without a trace right after takeoff might be interesting to see what the hour time on that plane was too and it was the same model
Name of add on
at first I thought this channel was a cheap copy-cat of TheFlightChannel, but 6-10 mins is more up my alley, and it seems more often updated and a lot of different accidents and incidents you cover. Keep it up! – Larry, NY (private pilot, former ATC stdnt
Gee I bet the First Officer was happy that the Captain was twenty years younger than him and had half the hours he had.
Wow that looks like very modern CGI though it isn’t
The text is straight up copied from Wikipedia word for word.
Thanks
Another brilliant stretched upgrade iteration at Boeing…
I have a run in my silk stockings. Need someone to buy me a new pair. Also will be giving nylon footjobs to the first 10 available to send me stockings
Well at least it was not fully loaded passenger jet that had to prove the point! God rest their souls.??
wow,.. just wow
Much of text is unreadable in many of these videos. Any way to fix This?
Dan
lol
the 707 is my favourite airliner
