- Investigators looking at the January 8, 2016 crash of West Air 294 know the plane’s IRU was faulty. But it doesn’t explain how a plane goes from level flying at 33,000 feet to a 600 mile/hour impact in just 80 seconds.

To the ppl who's never seen this series. If you watch it, it's gonna become an addiction.
Really very addicted.
Name of the channel for full episodes.
It already is
idk why we like seing people die from crashes
just got hooked, need help
No lie but they could seriously have a million subscribers if they uploaded whole episodes.
fr
bruh they litterally own the show if they did what's the point of buying the episode they wont make enough money and therefore the show would be closed due to failure
@@teabag9050 they earn more money from airing shows
W
they have a second channel with 3 million subscribers
Ironic that the aviator's golden rule of don't trust your senses trust the instruments was what ended up killing everyone this time :/
@Marc Chew different situations . This crash was really a bad one . Big time mechanical failure
That was back in the day when the instruments were Made in the U.S.A. 🇺🇸
i wouldve thought gravity would be enough to tell them that they're about to plummet into the ground.
@@lruy360ng if they sense that theyre falling they would think its a stall due to the nose being up.
There's also a rule to crosschek your instruments before making a decision. If only he had done that

Wouldn't the simple cockpit addition of a small globe filled halfway with easily visible liquid help pilots determine pitch and roll accurately?
No, because that doesn't actually indicate pitch and roll in a moving reference frame. A very similar device is used in small aircraft to indicate *slip*.
If you look carefully, however, you can see a backup vacuum-driven attitude indicator (with its own gyros) in the middle of the instrument panel, between the two pilots. It's shown with an almost completely brown aspect - ie. a steep dive. This is indeed what the aircraft was actually doing. It's intended for use when the "glass" instruments fail, perhaps due to an electric fault. If the pilots had cross-checked the "glass" instruments with the vacuum one, they'd have realised they were getting a false indication on the Captain's side and switched to the FO's.
@@Kromaatikse they didn't do it though. This was big time mechanical failure. It is possible that the second IRU was also faulty. But more likely the captain didn't understand what was going on and crashed the plane at high speed. Unfortunately that's the truth.
Physics arent so easy, Momentum and G force would make the water always look leveled, but honestly i dont know how to explain myself so i'll just show this video

Crazy how this happened.
Prayers go out to them
Don’t put questions to us. The reason we see your videos are for answers!
😂
Just clickbait
"Hit the ground with 600miles/hour" even if superman sits in that plane he will die
Insensitive
ofcourse he wouldnt die, he wouldn't be superman if he did. It's his outfit he needs to worry about
Yeah

Was surprised to see a stock image of my beautiful city before clicking on the video. R.I.P to the pilots

I have been on that plane many times and met both of the pilots multiple times since I work at the postalservice loading the plane with mail and parcels. It was sureal when we got the news the next morning that It had crashed and both pilots lost their lives.
Same here ! I used to work for westair and knew the co-pilot quite well. I couldn't believe it when I got the call 😔
Trust your instruments, until you shouldn’t
rest in peace for both of the pilots may there soul go to heaven and there familese move on and live a happy life
Wouldnt you feel that you’re literally going straight down and then inverted?
Not necessarily, in theory it would be possible to maintain 1g for the most part, but I'm not saying that is what happened. However, you would notice the pitch and airspeed information telling you that maybe your other instruments were wrong, but then the entire thing happened so fast you would hardly have time to thunk about it and figure out what was wrong.
Not necessarily, it’s quite possible for planes to “feel” like they’re flying normally, while in reality, the could be inverted, banked, pitching up, etc. This is why instruments are so important for flying in clouds and at night
@@boeing-ys7wr oh ok thx
I watched it on TV just now, and Smithsonian already uploaded it
I love aviation and this channel
How do you go from level at 33,000 feet to 1,000km per hour impact in 1 minute 20 second ? 😱
Tbf a F-4E phantom can accelerate that quickly from takeoff
I was hoping they'd tell me.
That alone shows how fast planes travel
They really putting emojis in titles about videos where people died lmao
Such a sad crash, the aircraft failed both the crew

The plane hit the ground so hard that every pice just tuned into shards after it hit
The most instant death in the history of instant deaths. Most passengers never knew it happened.
If I was an Investigator, I'd be confused too
this clips are addictive cant stop watching😊
This is getting scary with computers taking over. Bring back dial gauges!!!
All airliners have backup analog gauges. If there’s a power failure, or a disagreement, the pilots can revert to the old-fashioned way.
@@StickandGlider but this wasn't computer failure but an instrument failure. It was major one though
1:34 That backup attitude indicator must not have helped lol
Where can I see the full episode??
reminded me of flight 93 when it hit .
The resent Amazon 767 crash is the opposite of this. The pilot felt like the plane was pitching up and drove the plane into the ground.
It is called somograhic illusion or something like that . In 2016 there was another crash because of this in Russia.Basically the pilot thinks he is pitching up and pushes the plane in a dive . In fact he is flying straight .
It is not opposite . Both pilots crashed the planes in a dive. But while that was pilot mistake here it wasn't .
What I don't get is how the FDR is able to record the actual pitch but the instruments failed to record the actual pitch. Shouldn't the FDR and the instruments record the same pitch? Both use the same IRU.
How to watch the whole episode?
Please have full episode's
They have to remember that humans put those aircraft together and whatever human put together is subject to fail
What's the Season and Episode?
moral of incident sometimes machines can also be wrong and it can cause you really bad
Hits the ground 600mph
“It’s brighter here”
The air crash investigation episodes always get more views than the astronomy ones
Wait until we reach the age of interstellar space travel.
Only from those interested in plane crashes.
After watching the video I see that the pilots follow only gyroscope. But for some reason my mind says if they dive at that rate they would feel a very high g-force. For that reason they should have been able to realize they are diving!
I’ve seen this episode and this is not the first accident I’ve watched that not only resulted from pilot error, but from the drawbacks of continual advances in technology in aviation. Technology may help prevent a lot of accidents, but some of the drawbacks is the failure rate. It fails so rarely that pilots sometimes become mystified and some airlines have become complacent and are relying too much on the technology to fly the plane instead of the pilots whom they are supposed to train for all potential situations. And with all the knobs, gauges, and technology onboard, it is also becoming more difficult for pilots to find and solve problems in the cockpit.
Yeah, it might be prudent to reintroduce a third crew member in the cockpit because like you said, it’s getting to the point where it’s getting too much for two people to handle especially in a stressful situation.
@@spacemarinechaplain9367 Some planes have a Pilot, Co-Pilot and an Engineer in the cockpit. It may be time to bring that back into widespread practice.
The only part of your comment that is accurate is that airlines have over the last 20 years encouraged pilots to use more automation rather than hand flying which has to a degree de skilled them. There is no evidence that improvements in technology has led to increased systems or indication failures, in fact its the opposite. The amount of knobs, switches, buttons has vastly decreased over the past 2 decades due to glass cockpits and automated systems. In my 35 years as a B737, 767, 747 captain the only failure of note was having to shut down an engine because of a high oil temperature indication which turned out to be a thermocouple error/failure not an overheating engine oil scenario.
@@spacemarinechaplain9367 this crash was hardly a pilot error. The captain got major instrument failure . It was hard for him to know what to do in this situation. No pilot error here
@@kirilmihaylov1934 You and the Chaplain are both wrong. They had 3 ADIs in the cockpit. One took a shit, and had they crosschecked the two that agreed, this would have been a non-event. Totally pilot error and NOTHING to do with automation.
When you are falling you feel it right?
Mans literally said looks like im going for a swim
Last time a airplane was upside down 😂
Damn 600 mph😯
Plane: Crashes
Smithsonian Channel:(Happy Music) It's brighter here.
How do they mistake that do you not feel the G force and the feeling of free falling
It's almost like the pilot intentionally nosedived to the bitter end.
No one
Smithsonian : 😲
I have a question did it happen 3 days ago?
That first picture of Stockholm makes me miss it so much 🤐
Where you from? 🙂
I would like to see the New York midair collision as a future episode
You don’t feel it going which side up or down?
Wow it was great
How come the first officer wasn't reacting to anything?
It's shocking these planes actually do crash
FULL VIDEO PLEASE
We need some movie about that
Facebook
I’m not a pilot but can’t the pilots feel In momentum if the planes nose is up or low? Ya know when you are driving car? In a car when you feel your going to tip in one direction or the other you try to correct it.
Bruh how only 85 k subs
The altitude indicator shower it was descending
Dose any one know what happened to it
i think the sensors were kaboosed and the co pilot's IRU maybe faulty idk but if the sensor was showing false readings wouldn't the pilots know that they are level by looking at the horizon? let me know in the comments.
All the captain needed was a visible spirit level mounted to a flat surface… no second guessing.
Investigators in stockholm talking in american accent.keep going 🤭
Yeah, so they didn't felt that they're nose diving?
RIP 😔😔😔
Reminds me of KAL8509 except in the air.
i think pilots should also get a training and also pay attention to viberation also
yes
this could be a movie...
Pls do SJ182
@3.25: to the 5th grade investigator : plane goes 33,000 ft at 1000 km/hr in 1 second because it reaches Mach speed. Probably Mach 3.0
the callibration system was not working simple
🔥🔥
That was a bad one. The captain had no way of knowing what was going on
Upload the trigana air crash
When was that
Is it true that the software programmers and software design team are the ones that should be jailed or sacked over that amateur software system? When critical flight data is detected to have discrepancies between the two or more sets of measuring systems, then a very loud computer voice should have said on the cabin loudspeakers ------ 'warning - mismatch in pitch measurements ----- IRU1 likely to be in error, IRU2 likely to be functioning correctly - due to two out of three agreement condition'. And also have big red flashing lights to draw attention. And also - the little yellow 'PIT' indication on the screen should definitely have been programmed to remain on the screen. It should never have disappeared in any case. But also - one must admit that it's pretty stupid to have the little yellow 'PIT' light come up (even if if it did stay on permanently). It's better to have a big flashing PIT symbol (along with a loud but calm computer voice warning) - that also shows more information about which display panel or instrument had likely developed an issue. So basic common sense programming would have easily saved those two pilots.
Now I think I can fly a airplane by watching all episodes 😅
It cut off before we heard the mystery explained.
2:11 maybe he's thoughts his IRU was a faulty IRU (Maybe)
Placing 2 levels in the cockpit would have avoided this
Pilots need to stop being heavily dependent on flight instruments and more reliant on common sense.
True but their taught to always trust their flight instruments. So when in trouble such as this, what does one do?
They weren’t aware of a faulty IRU. They did what they should have done, pushing the he nose down.
They're trained to rely on their flight instruments. There are hundreds of crashes where the pilot relies on their common sense and disregards their instruments, as well as vice versa. John F Kennedy Jr died this way. Didn't trust his altimeter and virtual horizon and crashed his plane.
@@Leo-pu2nw I thought the pilots did what they should . This was major failure
Big crash there....
Edit it to its nightmare here
After much reflection have decided not to fly….especially if Smithsonian film crew is hanging around the airport.
What do you mean it’s brighter here?!?! Stop it with that jingle
united 232 plssss
Similar to Qantas 72 but it's a bad ending
How could a pilot mistake that
I wont fight any more

Aviation, Not a single video about September 11, nice going CZcams
Don't always trust your instruments.
Is it silly of me to ask you people who are tech minded , why the main flight computer did not immediately warn that he pitch of aircraft was critical nose down and cut in with over ride pull up and audio warning to get back to leve lflight at the same time?
Incomplete documentaries smh
Yeah they make these episodes for people to pay for them. The fact they post any content at all on YT is amazing, but if you want the full episodes then stop begging and pay for them.
It appears a cabin leak caused the loss of oxygen putting both pilots asleep and fell forward (limp) on the yoke. Down it went to the ground up-side down lickity split
KA-BOOM !
Have a flight today
Never Trust your instruments or your planes computer!
I already watched this as my first episode
