    Seconds after takeoff from London, both engines blow wide open on a British Airways Airbus A319. Terrified passengers look on in horror as fluid streaks from the exposed engines. The pilots declare an emergency, and turn back towards the airport immediately. But will they be able to make it back to the runway before time runs out? This is the story of British Airways flight 762.

    The presence of mind required to turn the plane at the last second to put the engine downwind from the cabin shows how immensely focused and will trained the captain was

    For those interested, the NEO engines do have sensors to give an ECAM alert if the cowl doors are not closed

    I prefer videos a lot where the plane makes it somehow. It’s just so much more interesting to see how pilots save an airplane than them failing at it.

    Ground staff heading to the wrong aircraft was literally shocking. It just made me feel forgetful in response to setting off on a job and forgetting after. Great vid as always!

    such an incredible story, the captain and FO are true heroes for landing the plane safely and you told it so well!

    The captain showed an amazing amount of competence and thoughtfulness on this one, right down to turning the plane at the end to put the burning engine downwind of the passengers.

    The 2 pilots were clutch. They handled it like true captain.

    You, Disaster Breakdown and Mentour are all competing for my favourite accident breakdown channel right now, you all bring such a unique angle even if it's the same accideny, it's great to see, keep it up!

    This is one of the best aviation channels on CZcams. Well researched and thorough. Clear and articulate. Excellent.

  • @lutimstrickshots9253

    The captain turning the plane at the last moment so that the wind blows the engine away from the passengers was just such a boss move.

  • @phildane7411

    The one thing missing from the lessons learned/improved procedures list was something to ensure engineers are working on the aircraft they think they are working on.

    Seriously man, the effort put into these videos is greatly appreciated. Even when I watch your videos about incidents or accidents I know well you bring up stuff I had no idea about. Fantastic work and please keep up the effort.

    Just want to say, that your channel is the best accident analysis one I’ve come across. Great job.

    I have a fresh experience of my own to add that leads me to talk to the FAA. During a flight, I noticed what appeared to be a crack in the engine cowling. Worried that it can come apart and damage the leading edge/horizontal stabilizer, after landing, I went to the cockpit and told the captain who freaked out, saying he hasnt spotted anything on the walkaround. Turns out the crack was in a place where one cant see on the walkaround which leaves a terrifying prospect of damage being missed due to being in a spot where a pilot cant see!
