1. DFW airport is a mess. I don't like driving around the airport, because if you take one wrong turn, you're lost. It's a huge, busy airport. But pilots and the airline companies need to consider people's lives over pushing to get some where. North Texas has violent storms and I would rather be late getting some where than not getting there at all.

2. Landing seems to be like climbing (summit fever) or wars, you get so committed to the false investment that you become hyperfocused on the goal even. Sometimes you should just abandon the attempt and do something else.

   41:07 they have to minimize it BECAUSE of the lawyers and people smell money. People want to cash in on tragedies. Whoever said "You can't put a price on life" never talked to a lawyer or a greedy plaintiff.

3. ✈️I agree..If you have to wait for better weather then wait…Whats wrong with people, always in such a hurry😉

4. It was behind schshedschule.

5. Captains have the sexist job in the world, it get's to their ego so fly with a married man although it would be interesting to ask the next captain of of a future flight is, as I'm boarding, I ask him if he's married. Men might not ask, so forget that idea.

6. 23:00 “the rain was horizontal” almost as if she was traveling close to 200 mph

7. The day people learn how to teleport, these companies are going down

8. if spoilers' job is to prevent the lift, failing to deploy the spoilers would have made the aircraft to lift again at such a high speed rather than crashing in.

9. Dog gone.

10. I flew into and out of fort worth during a trip from Washington state to Europe less than a month before this accident happened. I was 16 and my first flight essentially alone. I was with 3other kids and a teacher from my school on a field trip, but it's crazy to think of how close in time this was to my trip.

11. I watching this series of air crash tales to learn English.

12. IM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE OK, SPECIALLY AFTER THE JUICY CHECK SO STOP THE HYPOCRISY

13. Para cuando los documentales en español xd.

14. Entire video no one commented about the heacy fee that is charged by airports on airlines for delaying/cancelling the flight.
    No one talked about the fault of out dated equipments at airport.
    In the end airlines is a business and like everyone else they want to make money obviously not on anyone's life toll.
    But it should be airport and airline to blame not the Pilot who tries to do all to save the plane as they would also die if plane crashes

15. I don't know why I'm watching these non-stop when I have a flight in 4 days. Haha!

16. Surprisingly few people died in this accident, but still sas that 10 people died, may they rest in peace

17. Captain Bushman, "I hate droning around at night not knowing where I am " . Incredible. As an experienced pilot, this flight should've never ever left the ground knowing that there was severe weather in the forecast

18. Pilot thought he called flaps (he didn't). Co-pilot caught it. Co-pilot thought he called go-around (he didn't). Pilot failed to arm spoilers. Co-pilot failed to check that they set spoilers.

19. I flew in a lightening and thunderstorm over Fargo, North Dakota, I was super scared. In fact, I was so scared the knuckles on my hands were white.
    The person next to me was an off duty flight attendant. She looked at my hands and saw my knuckles were white. She nudged me and said you can hold my hand. I grabbed it for dear life. I think she saved me from a heart attack!

20. I still have the newspaper article of this crash with pictures.

21. Harrison Ford and Conan O’Brien?

22. I was on my way to my best friend’s wedding for which I was serving as best man and emcee. The plane almost landed three times, but the wind just proved too much of a danger, so they flew us back to our point of origin. Everyone on the plane was livid and snarky with the crew. I was the only person who thanked them at the gate for not jeopardizing our safety and making the responsible decision. The same windstorm put a very large tree through the garage of my friend’s in-laws. There’s no question the pilots made the right call. Finally, we took off just after midnight. I didn’t get in until 3:00 in the morning and had to be at the venue for 11:00. Whatever. I made it there alive.

23. I'm German so I don't know anything about the American plane industry, but have seen now 4 plane crash documentarys about American Airlines.

    And I've got the impression now that this company sucks.

    At first. One plane crashed because they teached there pilots to use the ruder aggressively, which broke the back wing of the plane which caused the crash.

    The second one they used a wrong/lazy mentanice practice which they used a forclife, to hold up the engine, which caused the mounting bracket to bend, so the engine broke off.

    On the third they used a plane type which had a lot of problems/crashes because it was badly constructed.

    And now the put lives in danger just to be on time, and put so pilots in dangerous races against weather.

    So for me this company seems like a joke.

24. My parents were on that flight. Their first anniversary trip without children. I read or watch something about it every year, looking at the photos of the crash, and thanking God they are still with me (now 87 years old).

25. 20:04 probably the greatest side eye in this entire series….

26. 23 years ago today rip

27. Stop flying slow. That's boring. Fly fast!!!!! Yeah,yeah!

28. Fly real fast,RIGHT NOW.

29. this guy cannot pronounce " SCHEDULE" we laugh every time, he never fails !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL

30. the mettallic paint of old airplanes (American Airlines) is amazing , better than the new generations

31. One time I was flying out of DFW where we took off in thunderstorm/tornado like weather and about 10 minutes into the flight, we actually turned around and went back to DFW because the pilot saw the weather only getting worse and didn't think it was safe to fly through. I'm sure he faced some serious flack from superiors but I was much happier to be crammed in an airport than falling out of the sky.

32. 50:59 Asking someone if they are "ok' may be done with the best of intentions, but I can understand why it would be frustrating after awhile. But his continued experience of symptoms of trauma really drives home how an event like this scars someone forever.

33. I DO NOT CARE WHO YOU ARE BUT A FAA EXAMINER STATED TO ME ONCE "BENNY VOSS", THAT LICENSE YOU HAVE IN YOUR POCKET IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A LICENSE TO LEARN TO FLY SAFELY. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO DIVERT OR GO AROUND IN BAD WEATHER. IF IT DOESNT FEEL RIGHT DO NOT DO IT. 20,000 HOURS LATER I STILL GO BY THAT RULE. REMEMBER IF YOU GET IN A PASSING LANE AND YOU SEE A MACK TRUCK COMING AT YOU GET BACK OVER..

34. I'd rather be on the ground during bad weather. 😰 I've been on flights during bad turbulence that left me sick to my stomach. 🤢 Better be safe then sorry and I don't much mind if we are delayed or have to a huge U to avoid the weather. Done that going into Akron-Canton. If weather is bad either don't take off or avert to another Airport. I know people may get angry but it's better to be safe and not risk lives!

35. the problem isn't the pilots, it's the regulations they have to follow, imagine if they were allowed to drift around the storm until it stopped storming, planes wouldn't be crashing, those pilots are trained to die following procedure or lose their license

36. This pilots spoilers failed he was panicked distracted so he didn’t power down or use reverse thrusters to help him stop the plane, no the tower should not have been so encouraging when they know the plane should not have landed so put the blame where it belongs on the co-pilot encouraging the pilot

37. Stop rushing or confusing the pilots slow down and get the job done right take precautions

38. The tower needs to get the plane above the thunder storm and move the air port to a place where there are less storms
