The co-pilot in this story is the person who taught me how to fly, four years before the crash. A great pilot and teacher, and we flew together a few times after I received my license. This was his first commercial job after leaving flight instruction. It felt like every hair on my body stood up when I heard his name on the radio.
That’s so cool!
😭😭😞😞i don't have any words to say anything except these emojeeees
I can understand...😞 reading this also gave me goosebumps, he was a really great pilot may he rest in peace
So sad
I’m so sorry to hear that. When we hear about someone we know having died it brings home how vulnerable we all are and that none of us are immortal. The fact that bad luck always seems to happen to the really good people just makes it harder to bear.
This was so heartbreaking to watch. 😢 They were almost about to touch down at the runway but the wing failed at the final moment. Both the crew members were heroes and deserve salutations for their efforts.
f to pay respects f
Agreed. The pilots were about to successfully land the plane, but it could only get worse.🥺
@Rayeed Raihan yeah true

They were so close to saving everyone onboard.
Yeah
🥺 so close 🙏

i cant believe people still type this
@@TSW345 because its true
Disrestpectful joke! People died in that crash you ungreatful person!
@@IndonesiaMajapahitNDPCA I am not being ungrateful or disrespecting. I am not making fun of people dying at all. I'm upset that everyone on board died. This joke is no where near disrespecting.
This one hit hard, personally. I didn’t know any of the individuals involved, but I did know some pilots and admin staff from Propair, which is based in my home town of Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, and I have flown with the airline several times. They are all superb pilots; this poor crew had no way of knowing what was happening to their aircraft, and their luck simply ran out. RIP to them, and their passengers. 😢
I feel so bad for the pilots! They had ALMOST pulled off a successful Emergency Landing.😢
I was barely a teen when this happened. My father recounted it in details to me today. He was one of the influential people at Propair who dealt with the fallout after this. He never really spoke to me about this in details, 25 years later, he is still emotional about it and struggled to recount it to me. Mr Provencher was one of his best friends, I vaguely remember him on a personal level. From what I know, it was a brake failure in one of the landing gears, which caused friction on takeoff, and ultimately, heat buildup, when the wheel was drawn back in, it heated the compartment of the wheel up to catching fire, the fire spread into the wing, making it malleable, and it slowly bent the wing out of shape, causing the plane to roll to the side, until the wing became malleable enough to bend like that/break near the runway at Mirabel. I am fairly emotional right now watching this.
For those who recognize who me and my father are, he is doing well today, he retired, his health is fantastic and he is living some of the happiest years of his life as far as I can tell. ♥
1:44 she's so clam when saying "fire"
Yes a little too calm. I can say if it was a real life scenario it would involve screaming and fear not that voice.
This accident happened 2 hours away is tragic to always see loss of life in disasters like this may they rest in peace 🙏 ❤
Wait What? This crash happened on 18 June 1998 and this video is made yesterday
The real crash of 420 happened on 1998
@@minatimurmu9798 ohh my bad I wasn't paying attention to the date ❤
@@Lady_boom_bitch It's Okay
@@minatimurmu9798 thank you enjoy your beautiful day ❤ 😊
Finally fight number 420 isn’t just a meme
3:04 This part give me chills as the pilots prepare for an emergency landing and the stress in them as the planes landing gear does not come down and the plane starts banking to the left
"No one makes it out of the plane alive"
and then ☀️🎵🌹
Rip passengers and crew
The emoji in the title really takes the cake
Who else is addicted to these viedos😂😂😂
Me too
I just love the suspense in these videos
@@titancipher you’ve hit the nail on the head there. It *is* the suspense, followed by relief if everyone survives or a sad feeling if people die. You can often predict how a story turns out by the descriptions of the pilots. “In his career, he had 12,000 flight hours”. I pretty much know at that point that it won’t have a happy ending. They’re talking about the pilot in the past tense.
Mee
They were this close 👌 to touch down. But the damn wing had to detach literally at the last moment.
Thanks to this crash every metro pilot now knows how to recognize a tire fire and what to do. The metro doesn’t have two hydraulic systems. It has one. It has two pumps which supply both the flap system and the gear system. These people are wrong. Now when you get a tire fire you lower the gear to get the burning tire away from the wing spar and fuel tank. Then you get to live
And there is now an alarm in the wheel well that warns them.
This also wasn’t a tire fire. It was caused by overheated brakes.
I mean, from what I know, like, every company in canada sold their metro after this.
Powerranger is right, it was overheating brakes which set fire to the compartment, and it spread into the wing.
I have.. intimate knowledge of all of this mess.
I saw this earlier today on the National Geographic channel
Basically one of the pad things on the landing gear (I forgot the name) reached 1000 degrees and it was enough to set the hydraulic fluid on fire
Brakes
I saw it in Nat geo twice.
Ehh i don’t rly like National Geographic channel
What country are you watching nat geo. Because i did not see it.
India
They were close to landing safely, but the aircraft's intensive left bank flipped the aircraft and led to a horrific crash. I could feel the sense of sorrow, for they effortfully tried to bring everyone onboard to safety. Rest in peace.
The fire caused structural failure of the left wing
such unfortunate...
I would imagine the passengers were not as calm as this portrays. Probably some were crying out to God, and praying!
This incident was very traumatic and heartbreaking. May their souls rest in peace.
For all those who think the wing failed before landing it didn't it actually remained intact but the impact of landing without landing gear broke the weak wing apart.
….then how did it flip upside down?? Draw yourself a free-body diagram with the forces involved and show me how that would work
Have you ever seen the crash animation of United 232?
@@andym.s.5231 In this case the plane had enough speed to get airborne because it bounced on the ground, but it was such a little bounce even the FDR didn't record it. The plane was airborne again... But due to loss of lift fom the failed wing they flipped entirely and crashed
The crew never realized the severity of the fire, which had grown out of control and begun degrading the structural integrity of the left wing. This caused the crew to have severe difficulty in controlling the aircraft. The crew had to apply maximum aileron trim setting due to the reduction of the stiffness of the wing. The left wing then failed, buckling upwards, causing the aircraft to roll to the left through 90 degrees and crash, subsequently bursting into flames and killing everyone on board.
@@GoatzombieBubba This is accurate, the wing broke before the landing, because it had become malleable from the fire.
This was so sad rip to all that died
Rest in peace everyone onboard that plane
including my uncle :_(
@@harshijayatunga7994 Aww I’m so sorry!!
@@harshijayatunga7994 Oh no...
2 passengers initially survived but died soon afterwards rip
roblox man face
Well thanks a lot for letting us know the cause.
Wow these pilots were so brave!
Hate
But they died sadly :(
@@IndonesiaMajapahitNDPCA Everyone on board died
@@Arkensius1157 yeah
And the bright outro is still there.
that crash looks so survivable until the plane bursted into flames
RIP pilots and passengers
420 says it all... that plane was baked, high as a kite
Thought this was somewhere else my heart sank when I recognized Mirabelle
I like how the passenger who reported the engine is on fire isn’t shocked at all
Prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You should add analysis and investigation to these amazing videos.
That unexpected twist..
i love how its just sad then the happy outro plays
Imagine if your about to land and you think your safe but then all the sudden the wing just fell off
This channel really put the 😬 int the title
The crash didn't even look that bad , i was expecting at least most of them to have survived....
In the beginning the pilots were so calm
Soo sad rip
Even if they had shut down the engine they would have struggle to land .the hydraulics failure would have made it worse. So that's why they left the engine running on idle,!.R.I.P. for the brave pilot's and the passengers, 😥👍
This stuff interest me so much for some reason…
I never see a airplane land upside down
ayo your videos is making me scared of planes
Please do not use emojis in titles with such a sad and sensitive content…
Oh wow thats just north of where i live
When she said it was on fire, she had no emotions for it so u know that this isn’t real because they may have tried to recreate the real thing and she failed a bit lol
no shit
So sad
Just seconds before touchdown, the left wing snapped off. The plane rolled violently, and caused this inverted landing, the plane exploded afterwards, and nobody made it out alive. They were just seconds too late from living to tell the tale.
Rip
With a plane number of 420 what do u expect, its a hot box
wow
Why is so addictive ?
They dont have control I mean they didnt have hydraulics I wish they trim the right little sharp
finally a new video
Hello again

Why this channel never play it full
اول تعليق عربي من عراق الله يكون بعونهم ربي سترك
It’s a shame 420 had to blaze up at an inappropriate time.
Broke my heart..
Rolling left.."NOT NOW"
Me: please..please..a bit more but, when it tilted and rolled, my hopes went south. When I heard it landed in a "water" ditch...it felt like..wait, maybe the water would..but to hear, no one made it alive just deflates the heart 💔
Why the 😬 emoji though
I’m flying Metros now after a long career on other types, and I’m interested in learning more about this crash. Does anyone know what initially caused the high-temp condition? Was it an overheated brake? Was it a bleed air leak? Did the crew get a “Wing Overheat” warning light before they lost hydraulic fluid and pressure? If you have any info please post.
Dragging brakes caused them to overheat inside the wheel well and cause an inflight fire
The hydraulic system was also found to have contaminated fluid which has a lower ignition point compared to fresh fluid, accelerating the fire spread
So the engine itself was not on fire? It just happened to be in the vicinity of the gear well where the fire initiated.
@@chriscusick6890 There was no fire inside the engine according to the ACI episode. I think it looked like it came from the engine because the wheel well is underneath the engine.
A long standing problem of this particular metroliner was brake dragging. The left brakes were dragging during takeoff and overheated. Once inside the wheel well the overheated brakes melted the unprotected hydraulic lines. Hydraulic fluid is obviously very flammable and started a fire in the wheel well. The crew then got the warnings of no hydraulic fluid in 2 systems and then started having flight control problems, specifically the aircraft developing a tendency to roll to the left. This was caused by the wheel well fire starting to deform the shape of the left wing, causing a reduction in lift on the left side. Shortly after the crew got a left wing overheat warning which canceled itself after some 30 seconds. This was caused by the fire physically destroying the sensors that detect a wing overhear situation. Just after passengers in the cabin could see visible smoke and flames coming out the back of the engine, and this was confirmed by firefighters on the ground as they awaited the plane to land. The crew had no engine fire warning and no indications that there was a fire, apart from the passengers telling them so. They shut down the left engine. All this occurred as the wing continued to deteriorate, worsening the left-hand roll. Less than 5 seconds before touchdown, the left wing was too weak to support the weight of the aircraft and it buckled and fell off. The remaining right wing obviously caused the aircraft to roll all the way left and the plane landed upside down and the wheel well fire ignited fuel. Everyone on board died.
Everyone: *Serious Comments*
Me: Why is there no door for the cockpit?
they were close
Hey thy almost tried
This is time to get your parachute and just jump out
Sad😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤ 0:00
No one is alive did you say?
Istg if someone comments "ayo 420? 🤨"
3:30
Such a hot voice
Just too point it out but it’s flight 420💀☠💀
if they did trim super right, they would have survived but i guess the nose and right wheels have dropped i guess eh.
Watched the whole episode; everything went wrong here, one after the other, cant belief this really happened in such an order, how horrific, ended up landing on roof, just cause of a jammed Brake it turns out.
Too freaking short stories
Maybe they should have retrieved the landing gears just about touchdown
i think we like a bedrock plane
cool
baby
Why nobody is talking about the bizarre smiling emoji in the title?
Why they can't open exit doors at 2k ft, have people wear parachute.
Horrible 😭😭😭
Dude what the hell is wrong with the metroliner it does NOT like landing upright I guess
Omg
how many survived the crash
Go to 3:56.
I have all episodes of the season 16
Hi there mate, how would I be able to view those episodes
Video: plane crash
Smithsonian: ItS bRiGtEr HeRe
This is not hate I would just change that
Don't turn left pilot
*What's up with those stupid smilies 😬*
I wonder if they should have just tried to belly land the plane...
It wouldn't have made a difference. If anything the partial landing gear deployment increased their chances of making it as there was more drag on the right side of the plane, counteracting the left roll somewhat. They also lowered the gear manually and when you do that you can't retract the gear
Crash Crash
the people that were late were lucky
420 funny number
Propair ''420"
Oh man, THAT close! >< RIP to all.
:(
I was about to make a weed joke, then I watched to the end and realized everyone died
Not so funny......
Lmao
What caused the plane the issues with the plane . Did they find out ? .
the brakes on the leg gear were on during taxi and take off, causing them to heat up which resulted in the fire the passenger noticed, the fire weakened the wing before it broke up seconds from touchdown
CAN SOME ONE TELL ME HOW THEY FILM IT
This is just acting lol
