Just outside Turin, Italy there's a hill overlooking the city where a plane carrying players of the Torino football (soccer) team crashed in 1949. A memorial marks the site. It was a sudden and tragic loss, the team struggled to recover and still struggles today to an extent.
Also Italy were favourites to win the 1950 World Cup. But all their best players died in the crash, and they ended up getting eliminated in the group stage.

There was the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash that killed 16 players, in the middle of the playoffs. Even thinking about this tragedy hurts, but for those who don't know, in 2018, a team bus carrying the junior hockey team Humboldt Broncos, was hit by a semi, which killed 16 of the team's players.
Also the Swift Current Broncos crash of 1986, when four players died. And that team and those players suffered a second disaster at the same time, "coach" and sexual predator Graham James.
I'm surprised that the 1950 plane crash where almost the entire Soviet hockey team was killed, wasn't mentioned. Stalin's son, Vasily, was team manager (&was not on the plane), covered up the crash in efforts to hide it from his father. Vasily forced the team to fly in blizzard like conditions just so they'd keep playing. He immediately replaced the entire team and Stalin never noticed despite the goalie who was in net in their very 1st national game, Harijs Mellups, was killed. They beat East Germany 23-2 in that game.
You mentioned the exact reason why it would be unfit for this video. The team was replaced in isolation by its manager. The league that team played in had nothing to do with the process. This video was about contingency plans that sports leagues, not individual teams, have for if a team in that league loses numerous players.
The soviets have a pretty harrowing history with important people on planes, Not What You Think has a pretty good video on how they once lost an entire fleet's worth of Admirals in a plane crash.
Also: My alma mater Wichita State University lost half of their football team when a plane crashed in 1970 killing 31 people. The program never rebuilt, and to this day we have a football stadium without a team. This vacancy allowed Jason Sudeikis, who is from Kansas, to create a fictional team led by Ted Lasso before he started coaching the other kind of football.
As previously stated, it does see some use mostly for track and field games. Also I think some local elementary schools take advantage of it for their field days too
I wonder if the bye week has anything to do with this, also you got Thursday and Monday night games. Not too many chance for every NFL team to be traveling at the same time.
0:36 You forgot the mother of all sports related air disasters. When Torino FC's team died in 1949. Torino never recovered after that, and Italy who were favourites to win the world cup in 1950 got knocked out in the group stage.
3:35 - Was gonna call you out, then I remembered what channel this is and figured it was done on purpose. Cause we all know that rule 39 isn't rule 34.
The accident was near the end of the season, so they played the last few games with junior players and other players that didn't fly on that sad day... The following year, many of the other Brazilian league teams loaned them some players, and they signed lots of free agents as well... They however got relegated in 2021 and are still in the second division to this day, meaning they never fully recovered (in terms of sport)
I know of a stock trading company where two people work at any "desk", which basically means they together are responsible for certain groups of stocks. When the company goes on outings (which, with stock trading money, tend to be far away), they always go with two private jets. And from every single desk, one member goes on one jet, and the other goes on the other jet. So if one jet crashes, there's still someone who knows what needs to happen for every single desk.
That these plans don’t get executed in the US (and elsewhere) is really a testament to the safety of air travel. The US currently has something like a 100 million flight/13 year winning streak against fatal airline crashes.
To the point where most people don't even think about this stuff...I would have thought they'd have to scramble recruit, like players who missed the draft, just retired, etc. I'm guessing they have an actual plan so that the replacement team doesn't suck.
Man the Yaroslavl disaster still stings. It was tragic loss of life regardless, but strictly in terms of personal connection, my favorite NHL team lost one of its drafted players in that crash when he was playing for that team, and he was barely in his early 20s.
Everybody in the hockey world knew someone on that plane, people from eight countries (e.g. head coach Brad McCrimmon of Canada, Robert Deitrich of Germany). That made the disaster all the more horrible, but it also meant everyone understood each others' feelings.
All of this was probably caused by the copilot, who was a co-owner of the company and should not have been flying, having possible onset Parkinson’s disease. He was pushing on the brakes while the plane went down the runway.

there's a higher chance of accident on the road, but when it happens there is a low chance that everyone on the bus dies Plane crashes are unlikely but they usually kill everyone on board
In addition to what’s been said, how far are they travelling by coach and what kinds of roads do they travel? Do they make their own way to the hotel and only coach from the hotel to the ground?
@@louisazraels7072 I dunno, a coach crash that kills, say, 80% of the passengers isn't that rare, especially if it falls down an embankment or something.

My concern about the NFL's draft rules for the "disaster draft" is whether if expansion draft rules apply. The abridged version is that teams can choose who they protect, meaning expansion teams are limited with their options. While this obviously means the new team cannot form a "super team" when all players are available, the quality of the players available tend to be career backup players, practice squad fodder, or a former star that a team DESPERATELY wants to offload for whatever reason. If a team had lost players that were not exactly stars, this would not be an issue, but if a huge chunk of a team's loss are indeed core players, I can foresee the team simply forfeiting the season and just taking that 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft to build around (and sign available free agents). While I know the KHL is based in Russia and US rules does not apply, this was exactly the reason why Lokomotiv Yaroslavl chose to forfeit their season altogether after the disaster. Many of the players who perished were former NHLers or upcoming prospects, so even if the KHL strong-armed the other teams into a draft, there was no way of replacing the talent and experience lost. Hopefully, we never have to witness this scenario happen in North American sports.
The NHL plan allows only some of their best players to be protected, something like three of their six defencemen and six of twelve forwards. That may sound like subpar talent, but remember the Las Vegas Knights reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in their first season? GM George McPhee put together a six man defensive corps that were all fourth best on other teams' depth charts. Football is VERY different because everything is about set plays. Hockey, soccer, baseball and basketball (for the most part) can make do with playing on talent alone until they gel as a team and they learn the coach's specific plays.
Better yet, why not find a De Havilland Comet 1 for Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers to fly on, the only airliner that blows up without a bomb onboard, oh wait, they haven't been around since 1954.
Around the world few sports teams make a profit. The clubs keep playing because they're not just a company, they're the representatives of a community with their fans.
Didn't that infamous crash in the andes in the 70s involve most of an Uruguayan rugby team? What's their plan for players beeing eaten by other players?
I think they sort of had this discussion on Seinfeld when George was working as the Assistant to the Traveling Secretary (the office that books flights, hotels and arranges transportation to the stadium for road games (may also coordinate with visiting teams during home games if something goes wrong?) They were wondering the odds of a plane carrying an entire team just going down, considering the number of major franchises across the continent.
This reminds me of that incident where a ton of top ranking soviet military officials were all on a plane together that crashed. I don’t remember all the details, but from what I remember they were all in a super important military meeting with top leaders from the navy. The plane to leave after the meeting crashed and the soviets lost like almost all their admirals.
The Chapecoense crash from 2016 comes to mind. All bar two of the players died and only one of them ever played again and not for Chapecoense. Such a pointless accident caused by a chain of easily avoidable mistakes. I think the Brazilian CBF allowed them to sign up free agents and other teams loaned them players. Whether this was due to a pre approved plan or just ad hoc, I’m not sure. The accident happened at the end of the season so there was no immediate need to fulfill fixtures.
0:34 Thought you were going to mention the 1949 Superga tragedy, which killed all but 1 first team players + coach & manager of Italian football club Torino. At the time of the crash they were first in the league with 4 remaining matches; they were given the league title at the request of other clubs. The next season, all other clubs gave 1 of their players each (no article ever mentioned the logistics of "donated" player selection though). They were a top club prior to the tragedy but sadly never returned to their former glory up to now.
Footage on 1:59 is taken from a Russian football league. There are only amateur teams here. I played for the team in black helmets like 10 years ago. Number 5 on this video unfortunately passed away if I’m not mistaken
Regarding the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl crash, the team was dropped from the KHL for the season to allow it to regroup. It rejoined the KHL the following season. BTW, that crash claimed the lives of several former NHL players, including Lokomotiv coach Brad McCrimmon, assistant coaches Igor Korolev and Alexander “Potsie” Karpotsev, and veteran forward Pavol Demitra.
I'm surprised the teams don't have their own pools of talent that would get pulled in to offset some of the losses, vs everyone coming from other teams. I could see maybe a certain ratio of drafts from other league teams, considering they're at least trained to a competent level; but you'd think you would pull people from lower leagues to fill gaps as well.
Usually in these cases the other teams are allowed to protect X number of players from being drafted, or are required to submit a list of players eligible to be drafted from their current roster (usually with the caveat of those players having played a certain number of games for the team so that they can't weasel out by putting just garbage-level players who only qualify by technically being on the roster).
The replacements are almost certainly going to be so much worse due to skill and lack of practice. And it isn't like every team is affected by lower ability, only one team is affected by a mass casualty event.
not exactly as dire but similar, in high school if an entire team is laid up, with injuries or attendance, the school will look at the next team lower. one year so many players got injured, the school dragged out the middle school team to face off against a high school team for a game.
Kinda ironic but the Patriots B767 somewhat shown in the thumbnail had to divert to Jackson due to some kind of engine problems I believe. This was after the season and was being used for Military Charters at the time of the incident.
If he barely cares abt other sports, do u really think he has the patience to talk abt soccer? Specially with his American impression that soccer sucks
The munich air disaster was very sad, almost all the busby babes were killed. But the fact that one of the survivors, Sir Bobby Charlton still continued playing was insane.
Do a video on the theoretical logistics of NFL starting their own airline to transport players with the assumption they would dynamically share planes based on who is traveling for the games and where.
I’m confused so a NFL contracted Delta 767 goes down killing all on board, the entire team... The #1 draft pick from that years draft would be required to transfer to the deceased teams roster? Or does the deceased team get the next years #1 draft slot?
@@listen1st267 ahh, I hadn’t realised they had announced the package yet. I had assumed they would go the same way as their mlb offering, basically trying to get people to realise they can watch Apple TV
*News:* "A plane carrying the entire sports team has crashed with no survivors." *Most of the country:* "That's terrible. I wonder if Netflix has anything new this week." *Corporate America:* "No! This is terrible! My poor market cap!"
Surprised the airplane crash where most of the Brazilian team chapecoense died was not mentioned, even if that happened just before the final of the tournament they where in so the rival team just asked CONMEBOL to make chapecoense champions.
Maybe because there was no plan in that case, it was absolute chaos. A lot of good will gestures followed like the team was immune from league demotion for a while, a few teams offered players for no cost etc. But it was all scrambled together in the off season, definitely not something that was even considered beforehand. And South America soccer leagues operate much closer to a free market, not in the draft pools so popular in NA.
0:28 that MLS slander was out of pocket given that 2 million people watched this year's MLS Cup final between the Philadelphia Union and LAFC which is a pretty good draw in terms of ratings... Also I think the protocol is in place due to plane crashes that killed most of the Marshall University football team, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, 1992 Daytona 500 winner Davey Allison and 1992 Winston Cup Series champion Alan Kulwicki
In most countries teams normal travel by bus or train, it is mainly for international games or giant countries where the plane is the main way of transport.
Probably the closest call in any of the Big 4 leagues was on January 18, 1960, when the DC-3 carrying the then-Minneapolis Lakers got lost in a blizzard, ran out of fuel and crash-landed in an Iowa cornfield. No injuries.
1:24 Dang, he always finds a way to roast another person place or thing while talking about something. (Also I can't help but think he's probably doing another Jet Lag series while he was uploading this)
Chapecoense had most of their players killed when travelling to a final and the survivors went on the pitch in the stadium the final was happening but the game was never played
NRL Clubs have 35 players under their salary caps, they select a team of 17 from that for each game, individual players are trained in multiple roles, if something happens to the selected team, an alternative team can be ready to play that rounds game immediately. those players who want to be first pick for the alternative team often go to away games by alternative means at their own expense.
Random fact about the plane crash that killed some of the Cal Polly football team, is that John Madden was on the other plane that did not crash, but knowing that his teammates died in a crash convinced him to never fly again.

I think they sort of had this discussion on Seinfeld when George was working as the Assistant to the Traveling Secretary (the office that books flights, hotels and arranges transportation to the stadium for road games (may also coordinate with visiting teams during home games if something goes wrong?) They were wondering the odds of a plane carrying an entire team just going down, considering the number of major franchises across the continent.
00:27 shots fired. Sam you mad lad 🤣
That Texans joke about Mills was pretty spot on tbh
If he’d only said “Davis” instead of “David” lol
This reminds me of that incident where a ton of top ranking soviet military officials were all on a plane together that crashed. I don’t remember all the details, but from what I remember they were all in a super important military meeting with top leaders from the navy. The plane to leave after the meeting crashed and the soviets lost like almost all their admirals.
The Chapecoense crash from 2016 comes to mind. All bar two of the players died and only one of them ever played again and not for Chapecoense. Such a pointless accident caused by a chain of easily avoidable mistakes.
I think the Brazilian CBF allowed them to sign up free agents and other teams loaned them players. Whether this was due to a pre approved plan or just ad hoc, I’m not sure. The accident happened at the end of the season so there was no immediate need to fulfill fixtures.
As a fan of the University of Virginia Football Team, I can’t decide if the timing of this video is really good or really bad.
DAVIS Mills not David Mills. Excited to see this in the next mistake video.
0:34 Thought you were going to mention the 1949 Superga tragedy, which killed all but 1 first team players + coach & manager of Italian football club Torino.
At the time of the crash they were first in the league with 4 remaining matches; they were given the league title at the request of other clubs. The next season, all other clubs gave 1 of their players each (no article ever mentioned the logistics of "donated" player selection though). They were a top club prior to the tragedy but sadly never returned to their former glory up to now.
After the buccaneers, won their first game coach John McKay was quoted
"Three to four plane crashes and were in the playoffs"
Footage on 1:59 is taken from a Russian football league. There are only amateur teams here. I played for the team in black helmets like 10 years ago. Number 5 on this video unfortunately passed away if I’m not mistaken
Today's fact: The first film with a $100 million budget was True Lies, which was made in 1994.
Cool, but did you know that Liberty Mutual will let you customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need?

Regarding the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl crash, the team was dropped from the KHL for the season to allow it to regroup. It rejoined the KHL the following season. BTW, that crash claimed the lives of several former NHL players, including Lokomotiv coach Brad McCrimmon, assistant coaches Igor Korolev and Alexander “Potsie” Karpotsev, and veteran forward Pavol Demitra.
4:11 was team hodge-podge any good? Or were they disbanded pretty quickly?
Feels so wrong to laugh out loud the whole time while listening to plane crashes and the plans if everyone on a team dies
someday we might die in some horrific plane crash that hai makes a video about.
I love soccer but the MLS dig was genius.
I'm only halfway through this video and it's the best video I've ever watched. 💯Pure GOLD!!!
We had it recently here in Brazil with the soccer team Chapecoense. There was no plan, the Teams made an arragement to help
Was the 2016 accident with the Chapecoense team from Brazil the most recent case? I had seen they lost most of their team.
Yeah the president may not know a lot about soda but his son knows a lot about coke
this video was funny, like some real chucklers, like sam my man i like what you did
As a Texans fan, I never thought HAI would make fun of my team
That MLS bit is cold 😂
Rude
that rainy day/raining NHL players line was dark as hell Sam lol
I'm surprised the teams don't have their own pools of talent that would get pulled in to offset some of the losses, vs everyone coming from other teams. I could see maybe a certain ratio of drafts from other league teams, considering they're at least trained to a competent level; but you'd think you would pull people from lower leagues to fill gaps as well.
What are the teams they’re allowed to steal players from? Can they do so without said teams’ consent? This seems like a conspiracy waiting to happen.
I too have many questions. Can they just take the best player from every team? If not, what is the rule?
Usually in these cases the other teams are allowed to protect X number of players from being drafted, or are required to submit a list of players eligible to be drafted from their current roster (usually with the caveat of those players having played a certain number of games for the team so that they can't weasel out by putting just garbage-level players who only qualify by technically being on the roster).
I feel like disaster contingency plans needs to be a full wendover video
The IRS Apocalypse Tax plan would be fun
4:05 wait what? I thought those places where just hypothetical
As a Texans fan, I literally cackled out loud at that Mills joke. Bruh...
So there isn’t a “The Replacements” scenario like the Washington Sentinels?
The replacements are almost certainly going to be so much worse due to skill and lack of practice. And it isn't like every team is affected by lower ability, only one team is affected by a mass casualty event.
@@megarockman But they Will Survive
1:30 Wrong, Biden knows all about SODAAAAAA
not exactly as dire but similar, in high school if an entire team is laid up, with injuries or attendance, the school will look at the next team lower.
one year so many players got injured, the school dragged out the middle school team to face off against a high school team for a game.
Kinda ironic but the Patriots B767 somewhat shown in the thumbnail had to divert to Jackson due to some kind of engine problems I believe. This was after the season and was being used for Military Charters at the time of the incident.
I'd love to watch the same video but with football (soccer) leagues
If he barely cares abt other sports, do u really think he has the patience to talk abt soccer? Specially with his American impression that soccer sucks
The question is how they get the secret recipe out of the heads the of president and vice-president when they leave office.
The munich air disaster was very sad, almost all the busby babes were killed. But the fact that one of the survivors, Sir Bobby Charlton still continued playing was insane.
Do a video on the theoretical logistics of NFL starting their own airline to transport players with the assumption they would dynamically share planes based on who is traveling for the games and where.
I think Biden knows a thing or two about soda
I lost it at the raining NHL players. I laughed so hard, then I felt like a piece of crap for it. There's my emotions used up for the day.
0:40 figured Marshall would come up
I’m confused so a NFL contracted Delta 767 goes down killing all on board, the entire team... The #1 draft pick from that years draft would be required to transfer to the deceased teams roster? Or does the deceased team get the next years #1 draft slot?
As a huge MLS fan, your joke was much appreciated 😂😂😂
I'm not a fan of the MLS signing a 10 year deal with Apple to watch the games 😢
Just out of curiosity, why are you not a fan of the Apple TV license?
@@tohfawalker159 I believe it is over priced. I preferred watching the matches on Paramount+ for cheaper
@@listen1st267 ahh, I hadn’t realised they had announced the package yet. I had assumed they would go the same way as their mlb offering, basically trying to get people to realise they can watch Apple TV
*News:* "A plane carrying the entire sports team has crashed with no survivors."
*Most of the country:* "That's terrible. I wonder if Netflix has anything new this week."
*Corporate America:* "No! This is terrible! My poor market cap!"
Great video.
Surprised the airplane crash where most of the Brazilian team chapecoense died was not mentioned, even if that happened just before the final of the tournament they where in so the rival team just asked CONMEBOL to make chapecoense champions.
Exactly I thought he was going to mention it also
Maybe because there was no plan in that case, it was absolute chaos. A lot of good will gestures followed like the team was immune from league demotion for a while, a few teams offered players for no cost etc. But it was all scrambled together in the off season, definitely not something that was even considered beforehand. And South America soccer leagues operate much closer to a free market, not in the draft pools so popular in NA.
Real gentlemen
0:28 that MLS slander was out of pocket given that 2 million people watched this year's MLS Cup final between the Philadelphia Union and LAFC which is a pretty good draw in terms of ratings... Also I think the protocol is in place due to plane crashes that killed most of the Marshall University football team, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, The Big Bopper, 1992 Daytona 500 winner Davey Allison and 1992 Winston Cup Series champion Alan Kulwicki
Yes, but the MLS sold its soul to Apple for the next ten years so....
In most countries teams normal travel by bus or train, it is mainly for international games or giant countries where the plane is the main way of transport.
Yeah in Europe where the countries are like the size of a US state Im pretty sure games in the same country don't need air travel.
Nice to hear this right before my flight
This sounds more like a plan than a contingency.
Ah yes, MUST (Manchester United Sports Team)
“Raining NHL players…” Damn, Sam!
Probably the closest call in any of the Big 4 leagues was on January 18, 1960, when the DC-3 carrying the then-Minneapolis Lakers got lost in a blizzard, ran out of fuel and crash-landed in an Iowa cornfield. No injuries.
This is the kind of video a beta makes.
Honestly thought the transition at 3:00 was going into the usual half as interesting video end ad
I was curious if you would bring up the lokomotiv disaster.
1:24 Dang, he always finds a way to roast another person place or thing while talking about something. (Also I can't help but think he's probably doing another Jet Lag series while he was uploading this)
Chapecoense had most of their players killed when travelling to a final and the survivors went on the pitch in the stadium the final was happening but the game was never played
That Davis Mills dig, had me howling.
NRL Clubs have 35 players under their salary caps, they select a team of 17 from that for each game, individual players are trained in multiple roles, if something happens to the selected team, an alternative team can be ready to play that rounds game immediately. those players who want to be first pick for the alternative team often go to away games by alternative means at their own expense.
"shakes on a plane" I see what you did there
the shade thrown at the mls is hilarious
Random fact about the plane crash that killed some of the Cal Polly football team, is that John Madden was on the other plane that did not crash, but knowing that his teammates died in a crash convinced him to never fly again.
