Here's another "Air Disaster" episode. This time the Northwest Airlines flight 85 accident. I spend so much time to create this kind of videos so please let me know if you would like to see more of these. If so, suggest me what air accident to recreate next. Thank You!
The Boeing 747 is arguably the safest jet on the planet. Talks of terminating this most beautiful of aircraft are being seriously made at Boeing. May the queen of the skies fly deep into the future, whether or not production is terminated soon. I am getting choked up just thinking of the possibility. Perhaps with the termination of the Airbus A380, orders for the venerable Boeing 747 may pick up again. This, however, is painfully doubtful.
@@DaveJOHAZ The only orders being made for the Boeing 747 line have been for freighters. This is why consideration for complete termination of the production of the Boeing 747 has been brought up by Boeing. It is my hopes complete termination of the Boeing 747 does not take place. It is from the time that Boeing made wise business decision and was ran by aviation engineers, not bankers.
Not really. The ATC is trying to get other aircraft out of the way. It wouldn't be much good to authorize a maneuver if it resulted in an aluminum shower.
Even though they weren’t trained for such a situation, they put their heads together, communicated, worked together as a team and saved lives. That’s admirable
Excellent job by the flight crew. Kept calm, assessed the situation, dealt with it accordingly by best course of action by not only going back to Alaska, but also informing ATC the plane is in a state of emergency a must be flown to FL140. Definitely hero material here.
I agree with you 1000% TDA. When the Captain declares a May Day and requests a lower altitude, ATC should and MUST work with the flight crew and give them what they request. As stated by TDA, ATC can clear the area, there are hundred of lives in jeopardy the captain must be responsible for. Good thing things went well for this flight.
When you're an emergency aircraft and have relayed a "Mayday"...YOU OWN whatever airspace you want. ATC does not "clear" you...YOU TELL ATC where you're going and what you need to do. THEY MUST do the work of clearing corridors, block altitudes...whatever. You deal with your actions on the ground but "upstairs"...ATC works for you. Period.
TakeDeadAim, I agree. I was trying to think how that refusal could be rationalized. I was hoping that was a momentary situation while they were clearing the airspace. One would hope that once an emergency was declared, especially a control issue, ATC would immediately endeavor to clear space ahead and below the aircraft. (I'm not a pilot or ATC)
@@ajb8841 No. A declaring of an emergency is an alias of Mayday. This means that they are to be treated as a Mayday aircraft where the are number 1 priority for every movement they make and/or request. From the FAA Chapter 39 Annex 1-17
Well done Captain John H. and First Officer Mike F. for your excellent work in landing this aircraft, as well as the flight attendants, and team at the Anchorage airport. You were all amazing and saved the lives of a lot of people :-)
Very glad for the safe landing, but it makes me sad that so many of these beautiful aircraft are being retired. There is none other than the "Queen of the Skies".
The 747 was the very first aircraft I ever flew on!! Flew on many other types of planes after, but never had one measure up to the 747! No wonder they are referred to as "Queen of the Skies"!!
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 'Queen of the Skies' is the nickname the 747-400 earned and will stay with her. Concorde were a whole other aeroplane all together. Phenomenally fast, and yes, a beautiful looking bird but was not given the 'Queen of the Skies' nickname, however much you may wish it.
Love how this channel shows the successful outcomes, not just the fatal accidents. I also like the technical explanations as I'm not an aviator. I learned a lot.
When children are brought up believing that they are not responsible for their actions and no reciprocation will take place for their poor performance in anything, they grow up being adults that believe they can do no wrong and just bluff their way through life until something like this happens. Then those that grew up believing they can do no wrong and nothing could ever happen to them wind up getting killed along with many around them. It can be seen in mundane things as well, such as driving. Driving is a skill that can not be underestimated or you can die and others around you can as well. Yet retarded people playing with cellular phones, disregarding all traffic laws, and getting aggressive with others on the road have become commonplace. Imagine one of these losers piloting your jetliner, or perhaps performing surgery on you. This is what happens when children are not punished for their bad deeds, when young.
@@indridcold8433 : Indeed. Currently, they are staging COVID-19 lockdown protests... This is why so much money is being poured into AI-controlled self-driving cars. We are approaching the point where the average human can't be trusted to drive safely.
@@timonsolus It is sad. The degeneration of the general public's intelligence is making it that these horrible autonomous vehicles will be necessary more than that they will be for lazy people. Once, I gave a day shift worker a ride home from work because I came in early for my night shift and her car was not starting. She watched me drive like I was working magic as I drove. Then she got the nerve to ask me what the thing in the middle I was moving all the time was and what the pedal on the edge was that I kept pushing. I told her it was a manual transmission equipped vehicle. She told me she never heard of it. Then she asked me about all the switches and I told he they were for lights, wipers, and the crank opened the window. She then said, "I rather not know any of this." That is the state of most people under 30 years of age. They rather employ willful ignorance than to make any mental effort for anything at all.
I never realized just how many plane crashes there are worldwide until i found this channel. AND just how many innocent people loose their lives due to stupid pilot errors!! Thank goodness there are a few who have good piloting skills.
Watching this gave me chills-that plane was built in Everett, WA. i worked at that Boeing plant, sending parts out to the planes being built on the line. We were all allowed to go put and watch that plane's test flight. What a proud moment in time. I remember the interior was a kind of burgandy and Boeing had a suit made for the Pres. of NW from the upholstery material. He came to the plant to take delivery at a ceremony we were all invited to attend, with refreshments, incl. cookies in the shape of the plane & key chains to match (i still have mine) where he was surprised with the suit, which he seemed to love. I have always wished I could say I worked on that plane. Now I am relieved that I did not. I would NOT have wanted to design or install that/those parts! The Presidential Air Force 1 was also built at Everett during the aprox. same time frame ( it may have been retired by now, also). No, I didn't actually work on it eitber! Whew!
The reason that part failed was because this was the first prototype 744 (first reg N661US) and therefor used for intensive test flights and resulted in fatigue of the material but you should know that if you REALLY worked there.
Well done the pilots and crew. They were faced with an unknown problem and did well to overcome the problems and land safely. Always sad to see a beautiful craft "Retired", so much dedicated workmanship to be torn apart. Thanks for the video, excellent presentation.
I would imagine the reason ATC at first denied their request to drop to 14k altitude was to give them time to clear the airspace. Since it was a very busy area, they may have needed to alert several other planes to the danger of what was happening so they could clear that altitude. I really don't think it was negligence on the part of the controller.
all videos are of high quality and display professionalism..... in this case, the pilots did a great job....in saving innumerable lives and landing the plane in one piece.
I somehow interrupted myself. But I was going to say that I've been watching your videos since miracle on the Hudson and I actually feel much more comfortable flying. I know if there is a way out of a situation, a pilot will find it. Kudos to all of you!
It's an all around happy ending! The flight crew's skill brought everyone back safe and today ship 6301 now resides at the Delta Flight Museum, a tribute to an outstanding flight crew! Excellent video!
This is a superb production in every way possible. It occurred to me during the beautiful “4K flight” of this beautiful airplane , that these machines are engineering marvels. What a safety record they have. Good experienced flight crews and mechanics who are experienced and follow procedure make flying today incredibly safe.
Im a pilot, and a soft field landing in a 747 would be something to behold. Congrats to the crew who were smart not to continue in case things progressively got worse. Amen!
Absolutely Stunning Work I can't get enough of your videos Just spent most of my day "binge" watching them.... Wonderful and interesting Thank you for your hard work brother....
This video kind of hits home. I have traveled on the same path about 6 yrs later than this episode. I've had the opportunity to travel to the Philippines, originating from Detroit to Nagoya with Northwest Airlines several times. Makes one appreciate the skills of the professionals flying the plane. Kudos to all those in the cockpit.
Once an aircraft declares any kind of emergency- ATC must clear airspace around that plane. As far as I know it’s like the only time the pilot has a say so over ATC. It’s ATC’s job to give the pilot clear airspace to get down as safe as possible.
The skill and maybe a bit of luck gave this crew a battling chance and it was a chance they took by the horns. Well done to the crew. Fantastic achievement to save everyone onboard.
Your excellent videos show us that they have great production and edition. The research work was very well done. Congratulations and continue to share your videos.
I was really expecting that others will appreciate pilots and guess what they are rewarded. They really did their best, even thi they don't know how to handle and never being trained for that, they did everything to save the flight! Good job buddies.
I loved how the first reaction was to disengage the autopilot. The second action was to acknowledge that there was a problem and the best course of action was to turn back. I've seen too many of these (wonderfully-done) videos to know that sometimes arrogance or corporate pressure to keep a schedule, comes into play with disastrous results.
7:39 "But if plane flies slower, the rudder will produce more yaw". I think it's the other way around. Plane requires more rudder input at slow speeds then at high speeds, therefore stuck rudder will cause less yaw at slower speed.
As someone who has knowledge on how to fly an aircraft, and has flown an aircraft many times, solo, I applaud the crew for their actions. A bad situation, didn't result in anyone getting hurt, or worse, killed.
Flight 85: We are an EMERGENCY plane and request to land on the nearest airfield ASAP! ATC: Yeah, well, we're busy, so you're gonna have to go somewhere else.
"I'm sorry, but we have too much traffic to let you descend even though you have an emergency in one of the largest planes ever built. Please call again. Thank you and have a nice day" Good thing I wasn't the pilot or I'd of flipped out on that controller. I think once I made it to the ground, I would've taxied right over to the tower and got out and punched that guy in the mouth Lol! What is wrong with people??!! Rant over. Great video.
James, i agree with you...to a point. The captain kept his cool, and that coolness of his, and that of other pilots handling emergencies, is what kept his plane from crashing and killing people. Still, I can't understand why in hell the ATC didn't initially approve his request and warn other aircraft in the air of the emergency situation with Flight 85.
Watching this I recalled the first 747 I ever saw, at the Anchorage airport. Watching it come in for a landing I knew I had just witnessed something so incredible .... that 'thing' was just too big and heavy to actually fly but there it was. A memory I will never forget ..... physics being completely defied that aftermoon.
Another great video by The Flight Channel. These pilots did an awesome job bringing in that aircraft in safely almost like it was routine for them, which of course it was not. Well deserved award.
Wrestling with a big plane must have been exhausting. I love to hear everyone is safe. I love to see when pilots apply physics. Too much left yaw? Compensate with engines.
Good job by the pilots. A couple comments about the text in the video, however. To fly at a lower altitude increases the effect of a wrongly turned rudder due to thicker air pushing against the rudder surface. But lower airspeed reduces the effect of a wrongly turned rudder due to lower velocity air pressure against the rudder surface. So when they went to lower altitudes, the rudder would not cause more problems as long as they reduced their speed by enough to [more than] compensate for the thicker air.
While watching this incident, my heart was pounding and my hands sweating until they landed! Like i was actually there! I can only imagine the stress the pilots, crew and PAX endured during this flight. So many that end up with bad outcomes. The crew are indeed heros and great CRM skills. That thumbnail with the wayward rudder says it all.
Though I have never flown, I don't believe the FAA allows the Captain of a passenger airliner to just say "we have an emergency" , unless a list of prerequisites have been met. So when a Cpt. does declare one, it means EVERYTHING else is secondary and this aircraft is priority 1. And if you need to clear the airspace then do it. Lots of weight on the shoulders of a passenger airline pilot, with all those precious lives sitting behind them,. But it must get many times heavier when something like this happens. That's an immense amount to handle.
The pilot handled this problem with skill and confidence. Great job and the entire crew saved many souls from potential disaster. Btw great job with the ATC , good call.
I love seeing success stories! Wow, awesome pilots!! Kudos to them. These videos are SO addicting! I have to use them as a reward to myself for getting my chores done. Makes me work quicker so I can sit down and enjoy them. Along with learning new things I never knew about. Thanks again for all the hard work putting these together. :)
Awesome video. Apart from minor grammatical errors, this channel is incredible! Also, the music transitions could be improved. P.S these are constructive criticisms. No hate.
If you haven't done the Gimli Glider, that would be slick. These videos are really elegant. Are you recreating these from general accounts of the events or are these run from the flight data recorder? Either way, it's these are impressive!
I've been binge-watching your vids and i'm commenting on this one cos it happened on my 8th birthday. Still a crash landing but i love the fact that it's a successful one. God speed! Love your videos!
Detroit is my home city, and Delta is replacing the 747-400's with the new A350's. Now I don't see the 747's going over my house anymore. Loved hearing the roar of those engines as the 747's were lined up to land at DTW.
Great video! I have spent so many times flying to Europe, Hong Kong and Hawaii from the USA and never did I think about the possibility that something like this could happen but now since I have been checking out these videos I am not so sure I ever want to fly again.
"not possible to virtually inspect that type of failure" - Did you mean visually? Also, you never explained why it took considerable physical effort to fly the plane? I'm confused by that one. Otherwise, great job :)
(this is belated but) I am assuming an airplane of this type uses a manual system of pressure inputs to the ailerons (physically moving them directly via hydraulics), thus, it took a considerable force of pushing (or turning) on the yoke to compensate the motion induced by the rudder.
It's not at all a major thing, but someone needs to double check the text for accuracy. Another amazing simulation! Well done, no one else even comes close to your quality!!!!
So many of these disasters happen because something fails and the pilots have to guess what. Why aren't planes equipped with cameras, so pilots can see what's going on out there? There should be cameras on the upper body and underneath, set up to give a panoramic view. They're pretty small now, and wouldn't create significant drag.
WilliamOccamensis. great idea! I'd submit that to Boeing! I believe tbe camera would need to be built into the body & would create no drag. those things are extremely small these days. Watching this gave me chills-that plane was built in Everett, WA. i worked at that Boeing plant, sending parts out to the planes being built on the line. We were all allowed to go put and watch that plane's test flight. What a proud moment in time. I remember the interior was a kind of burgandy and Boeing had a suit made for the Pres. of NW from the upholstery material.

The Presidential Air Force 1 was also built at Everett during the aprox. same time frame ( it may have been retired by now, also). No, I didn't actually work on it eitber! Whew!
Look for a promotional video of a Luftansa flight with an Airbus A-350. There are multiple fusilage mounted cameras focusing on the landing gear, engines, wings, and an overview from the top of the vertical stabilizer looking forward to the nose. It's pretty impressive. Don't know if that's an option or standard equipment on all new A-350's, but it looks like you can see almost every square inch of the aircraft! Not sure if you can see the rudder and its configuration, I'll have to look at it again. After this video, I can see how having real time views of all the control surfaces could make a huge difference during an emergency like this.
Often my late husband would wake up and suffer with a "rudder hardover". We would work it out and he fell back to sleep. BTW why would anyone take a flight from Detroit to Japan anyway?
Here's another "Air Disaster" episode. This time the Northwest Airlines flight 85 accident.

When ATC has the balls to deny a request to an emergency aircraft, and the pilot politely puts them in their place.

Not really. The ATC is trying to get other aircraft out of the way. It wouldn't be much good to authorize a maneuver if it resulted in an aluminum shower.

Watching this I recalled the first 747 I ever saw, at the Anchorage airport. Watching it come in for a landing I knew I had just witnessed something so incredible .... that 'thing' was just too big and heavy to actually fly but there it was. A memory I will never forget ..... physics being completely defied that aftermoon.
Another great video by The Flight Channel. These pilots did an awesome job bringing in that aircraft in safely almost like it was routine for them, which of course it was not. Well deserved award.
Why do these make me so emotional?
It's the music. It gets me too.
I remember seeing this one on Mayday Air Disasters. You’ve done a great job as always
He based it off of that
Your videos have improved considerably in the last 3 years.
Wrestling with a big plane must have been exhausting. I love to hear everyone is safe.
I love to see when pilots apply physics. Too much left yaw? Compensate with engines.
Good job by the pilots. A couple comments about the text in the video, however. To fly at a lower altitude increases the effect of a wrongly turned rudder due to thicker air pushing against the rudder surface. But lower airspeed reduces the effect of a wrongly turned rudder due to lower velocity air pressure against the rudder surface. So when they went to lower altitudes, the rudder would not cause more problems as long as they reduced their speed by enough to [more than] compensate for the thicker air.
I loved this. Once again, an entertaining and imformative video. A great video from my favourite channel! Keep doing what you're doing bro!
SmartMob Thank you very much bro!! I appreciate:)
TheFlightChannel :D No problem! It's true!
The pilots did an amazing job in bringing down a beast of an aircraft.
I keep forgetting that Northwest was the launch customer of the 747-400, that's why it is my favorite airline. Great video dude, keep it up!
Great video and what a splendid job those pilots did to wrestle the 747 back to Anchorage. That sudden bank must’ve been terrifying.
It was like I was watching the shortened version of Air Crash Investigation..
Without the stupid commercial breaks... I hate them.
Stimpy&Ren Not what I would call annoying
It’s not just the superb animation but the background sub titles and epilogue are making this addictive
While watching this incident, my heart was pounding and my hands sweating until they landed! Like i was actually there! I can only imagine the stress the pilots, crew and PAX endured during this flight. So many that end up with bad outcomes. The crew are indeed heros and great CRM skills. That thumbnail with the wayward rudder says it all.
Though I have never flown, I don't believe the FAA allows the Captain of a passenger airliner to just say "we have an emergency" , unless a list of prerequisites have been met. So when a Cpt. does declare one, it means EVERYTHING else is secondary and this aircraft is priority 1.
And if you need to clear the airspace then do it.
Lots of weight on the shoulders of a passenger airline pilot, with all those precious lives sitting behind them,.
But it must get many times heavier when something like this happens.
That's an immense amount to handle.
It feels like watching a movie 🍿! Great work now I have high expectations for you!
The pilot handled this problem with skill and confidence. Great job and the entire crew saved many souls from potential disaster. Btw great job with the ATC , good call.
The Flight Channel getting better and better.
That aircraft is at the Delta museum near Hartsfield Jackson airport and is on display.
Didn't know that, Thanks for the info!
Kudos to those captains and thank god everyone was ok it’s amazing how one glitch can screw up a whole flight
This is my favorite CZcams channel.
Five Stars. Period.
Fantastic pilots. That plane was extremely hard to control and they did it perfectly.
I love seeing success stories! Wow, awesome pilots!! Kudos to them. These videos are SO addicting! I have to use them as a reward to myself for getting my chores done. Makes me work quicker so I can sit down and enjoy them. Along with learning new things I never knew about. Thanks again for all the hard work putting these together. :)
This video is actually amazing as usual and im prety sure ive heard of this crash but now understand it more!
Prism of Random Thanks man!!!
I love it when no one dies. Amazing work as usual
Geat Story...
I was watching the video even without breathing. and was praying a safe landing.
Finally landed safe.
Awesome video. Apart from minor grammatical errors, this channel is incredible! Also, the music transitions could be improved.
P.S these are constructive criticisms. No hate.
Very well done. Enjoyed a lot. Particularly like the sound effects.
Went onto the aircraft involved yesterday at the delta flight museum in Atlanta. I applaud all the flight crew and pilots involved 👏
747.....a number which puts tears into my eyes.
Survivors ! Maybe make a playlist that features only crashes that have survivors. Even if its just one. My recommendation is the stolen Q400
If you haven't done the Gimli Glider, that would be slick. These videos are really elegant. Are you recreating these from general accounts of the events or are these run from the flight data recorder? Either way, it's these are impressive!
I've been binge-watching your vids and i'm commenting on this one cos it happened on my 8th birthday. Still a crash landing but i love the fact that it's a successful one. God speed! Love your videos!
watching this video in 2021, and let me say the efforts you put in your video from the very start is commendable. so proud of ur work.
The English subtitles have taken a big step back.
Amazing! Butter smooth landing as well!
Pilot leaves cockpit to rest. Plane immediately begins banking. Pilot returns to the cockpit. There is no rest for the weary.
I flew on this exact plane to Hawaii right before it’s retirement. Great plane and fun crew and ride
Great video keep up the good work✊🏾💯
Jason Dameus Thanks you so much man!
TheFlightChannel np man
Love the way you present your videos. Best simulation channel on CZcams. Please create more incidents. Waiting for it. 💖💖
Thank you!!!
TheFlightChannel You're welcome Sir!
You are rite.
Also the best Sub Titles, actually all readable,very well presented.
Detroit is my home city, and Delta is replacing the 747-400's with the new A350's. Now I don't see the 747's going over my house anymore. Loved hearing the roar of those engines as the 747's were lined up to land at DTW.
Very well done. If the rudder section failing could have been animated as well, it would have been even better.
Tower guy needs to be fired.
Your flight sim vids are amazing always like the videos
Great video! I have spent so many times flying to Europe, Hong Kong and Hawaii from the USA and never did I think about the possibility that something like this could happen but now since I have been checking out these videos I am not so sure I ever want to fly again.
Man's, I'm missing this airline for a long ago. Use to fly from SFO to Minneapolis every year on July 4.
"not possible to virtually inspect that type of failure" - Did you mean visually?
Also, you never explained why it took considerable physical effort to fly the plane? I'm confused by that one.
Otherwise, great job :)
(this is belated but) I am assuming an airplane of this type uses a manual system of pressure inputs to the ailerons (physically moving them directly via hydraulics), thus, it took a considerable force of pushing (or turning) on the yoke to compensate the motion induced by the rudder.
@@stanislavkostarnov2157 Golly, I see! Thank you for the explanation :)
That was an amazing video!
Cowfat Thank you so much man!
Northwest’s livery is so good
By the way amazing video
It's not at all a major thing, but someone needs to double check the text for accuracy. Another amazing simulation! Well done, no one else even comes close to your quality!!!!
Please do the levee landing, TACA Flight 110
So many of these disasters happen because something fails and the pilots have to guess what. Why aren't planes equipped with cameras, so pilots can see what's going on out there? There should be cameras on the upper body and underneath, set up to give a panoramic view. They're pretty small now, and wouldn't create significant drag.
WilliamOccamensis they do now on the tail you can see the whole plane from where the people sit
WilliamOccamensis. great idea! I'd submit that to Boeing! I believe tbe camera would need to be built into the body & would create no drag. those things are extremely small these days.
Watching this gave me chills-that plane was built in Everett, WA. i worked at that Boeing plant, sending parts out to the planes being built on the line. We were all allowed to go put and watch that plane's test flight. What a proud moment in time. I remember the interior was a kind of burgandy and Boeing had a suit made for the Pres. of NW from the upholstery material. He came to the plant to take delivery at a ceremony we were all invited to attend, with refreshments, incl. cookies in the shape of the plane & key chains to match (i still have mine) where he was surprised with the suit, which he seemed to love. I have always wished I could say I worked on that plane. Now I am relieved that I did not. I would NOT have wanted to design or install that/those parts!
The Presidential Air Force 1 was also built at Everett during the aprox. same time frame ( it may have been retired by now, also). No, I didn't actually work on it eitber! Whew!
WilliamOccamensis . 747-400, right?
Look for a promotional video of a Luftansa flight with an Airbus A-350. There are multiple fusilage mounted cameras focusing on the landing gear, engines, wings, and an overview from the top of the vertical stabilizer looking forward to the nose. It's pretty impressive. Don't know if that's an option or standard equipment on all new A-350's, but it looks like you can see almost every square inch of the aircraft! Not sure if you can see the rudder and its configuration, I'll have to look at it again. After this video, I can see how having real time views of all the control surfaces could make a huge difference during an emergency like this.
Please continue making these videos. They are fascinating to watch.
I’d like more episodes where EVERYONE SURVIVES.
at 5:29 the plane is in range for “achorage” atc radio
Perfect job.
Fun fact: This particular aircraft is on permanent exhibit at the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta, GA.
You really need an assertive pilot like that. So many crashes where the pilot wasn’t as definite.
Often my late husband would wake up and suffer with a "rudder hardover". We would work it out and he fell back to sleep.
BTW why would anyone take a flight from Detroit to Japan anyway?
That's very strange :
The first production Boeing 747-100 was in the crash at tenerifa
And the first Boeing 747-400 in this Emergency Landing
🤔
Luca 2512 7
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
And the second Boeing-100 is featured in the Pan Am Flight 845 video.
But how though? xD
The tenerife 747-100 (N736PA) was production number 11
I bet the passengers broke out in applause when they hit the tarmac.
A very wonderful save! Great pilots! Thank God!! Thank you TheFlightChannel!
