Two of Delta’s most experienced pilots are at the controls of the L-1011 Tristar, billed as one of the safest planes in the sky. The crew sees rain and lightning ahead, but decide to continue their approach. Once inside the storm the crew quickly discovers that the driving rain will be the least of their problems.
What systems were created to prevent such disassters in the future?
Mayday: Air Disaster – From Season 5 Episode 1 “Invisible Killer”: By the time the crew of Delta Airlines Flight 191 reached the threshold of Dallas Fort Worth Airport, they’d already diverted around 2 separate storms. They see rain and lightning up ahead, but fly on. Inside the storm, their plane is hit by powerful winds that slam the plane to the ground. 136 people die. The crash helps scientists overcome a notorious danger to airplanes.

What systems were created to prevent such disassters in the future?
Delta Airlines Flight 191 was playing Flight Simulator
Roughly the size of Manhattan… Everything is bigger in Texas
All these crashes how come we don’t know about
Pilot error.
The fact that people COULD see this from flight gates is really traumatizing..
Yo I landed in Arizona while it was 119 degrees… 101 ain’t got shi on that.
39:01 Conveniently on a meal break at the time. Wow.
😱 OMG!!! lord have mercy!!😢🤧 This is horrible!🤧wow!!🤧 I'm so sorry 😢
What a sad day this was.
SO SAD 😔 THAT THE PLANE CRASHED
SO SAD 😔 SINCERELY KATHLEEN CONE APOPKA FLORIDA.. SO SAD 😔
Such a majestic creature.
❤
The other plane must of been saying did we cause that ?
I always said that the easiest meteorological gig would be forecasting the gulf coast states because every single day is "It's hot, and it might rain."
"You add ten knots for mama and the kids"😂😂😂😂
DFW is actually not even close to the size of NYC it’s actually a lot smaller
Were people really allowed to smoke on planes in the 80s?
I believe that aviation itself is a small tool used for population control, as are viruses, war, pollution, a relaxation of crime control, ad nauseum. I saw a movie years ago that started out making fertilizer out of people when they reached a certain age. Maybe I shouldn't have said that…
Smoking saved his life see not to bad for you
at 4:43 to clip atc said RT 620
@4:46 ATC says to fly “Heading six-two-zero.” What???!
PLEASE GOD🙏🏼 SAVE EVERY ONE…
Wasn’t DFW just a stopover for Delta flight 191? If I remember, right, they were going to continue to another location.
Such a tragic accident. Thank God some people survived.
I have been with my dad in Texas on his business trip several times, and we used to drive through the state. It was amazing to see these fronts of thunderstorms crossing the prairie between Dallas and Houston. Really breathtaking actually. Unfortunately, they can also be extremely dangerous as we see here. May the victims of delta airlines flight 191 rest in peace, and, I know this happened about 40 years ago, but thoughts and prayers to everyone else involved.
I lived in Denton (just north of Dallas) at the time. I remember when the results were first published, the local media referred to it as a wind shear and not a microburst. They then corrected themselves about it.
Smoking saved that man’s life apparently.
Captain connor's had this approach absolutely wire… I got the feeling that he would have rather Have flown it himself. No offense to the first officer they all did A fantastic job Considering the fact that they did not get information they needed. Close in especially inside five miles to go connor's Might have just said I'll fly this one.
Major Kudos to the NASA pilots!
