- It’s April 4, 1979 and TWA 841 has just dropped into an uncontrolled, upside-down dive. If the pilot doesn’t recover control soon, the blood draining from his head will cause him to lose his vision-a phenomenon known as ‘greying out.’

everyone acknowledging the pilots but props to the camera man for not blacking out while also being outside and insiide the plane all at oonce
Ahhh yes the classic cameraman joke
@@Sub-Zero757 mate I commented 6 months ago when it was funny. Sorry you’re behind the times
@@Sub-Zero757 clearly 19 people found it funny lol. Someone is just mad for no reason
No it’s because its an blender animation and they are overated as fuck
Cameraman broke the 4th wall maybe?
3:52 finally, a proper "It's Brighter Here"!
Unbelievable how lucky they were! Uncontrolled dive and nearly blacked out because of it only to recover, get the plane up, and successfully land. Thanks to them everyone survived. These guys deserve recognition for being able to sace everyone from certain death.
Amazing recovery.! That was very, very close. Salute to the pilots!

You're saluting the same pilots that got themselves into that situation in the first place.
@@RaisedLetter Nope, the investigators and the episode got it wrong. They suffered a lower rudder hardover and because of a fluttering aileron they were unable to prevent the plane from rolling into a dive. The only reason they recovered was because when they dropped the landing gear, the right gear overextended which caused a loss of System A hydraulics which centered the lower rudder and allowed them to recover. The No.7 slat came off because it was misaligned and didn't lock into its locking mechanism while the other slats did and with the loss of hydraulics had no redundancy to keep it retracted.
@@RaisedLetterwho cares
@@Mshi- you do obviously.
Impressive courage to pull the plane back up 👏
Producer: How realistic do you want this to be?
Smithsonian Channel: Yes.
Imagine the life of a pilot after seeing the DEATH with mare eyes....how valuable life is....
how quickly everything can change and sometimes you have no control over it.. Enjoy every second of life.
It's almost like he said "This is not going to be their grave much less mine!" And pulled off an idea so ridiculously desperate… it just might work. And thank all heavens above it worked.
@@elementxxrider The investigators and the episode are wrong. The pilots bore no wrongdoing, it was due to a lower rudder hardover.
according to the episode, the captain used an unauthorised procedure which involved spreading the flaps out whilst keeping the slats in to increase their speed but reduce fuel consumption, to do this he pulled a circuit breaker without the flight engineer's knowledge (he'd left the cockpit to use the toilet and return the food trays) and when he returned, the flight engineer pushed the circuit breaker back in, causing the slats to extend which at 39,000 is not good. the captain set the flaps back to 0 but a slat remained out, causing the roll to the right. heard accounts that this wasn't what happened but no idea what actually happened
Slat 7 remained extended due to a fault. By chance, due to the forces, that stucked slat finally broke off the wing, allowing the crew gain back control.
However, cpt gibson and his crew deny the fact that they used the unsanctioned procedure, and the cpt himself took that into his grave.
The cause of this upset was a yaw damper-induced lower rudder hardover.
There was practically 0 evidence to even suggest that any 727 pilot, let alone the TWA 841 pilots, had ever done this unauthorized procedure or were even aware of it at the time (the co-pilot Scott Kennedy testified in a 1983 documentary about TWA 841 that he had never heard of this procedure until 3 weeks after the flight). The NTSB conducted 118 simulator tests and they concluded that with the No. 7 slat extended at 39,000 feet the plane should have been completely controllable -- and the roll produced would be able to be easily overcome with aileron and rudder, not completely uncontrollable as in TWA 841 -- or the slat would have ripped off and everything would be fine. They even took a 727 up to 39,000 feet with the No. 7 slat fixed in the extended position and it was completely controllable. For the extension of the No. 7 slat to send the plane into an uncontrollable dive would require the pilots not doing anything for 17 seconds. Perhaps the biggest problem with Boeing and the NTSB's theory is that the latter's own tests concluded that the slat would have ripped off at no lower than 30,000 feet, not at 8,000 feet as in actuality.
Some TWA 841 passengers were actually taken up on test flights to determine if the vibrations of the flaps and slats being extended at 39,000 were the same vibrations as on TWA 841 and the answer by the passengers was no.
Airline pilot and author of the book Scapegoat, Emilio Corsetti, determined by closely analyzing TWA 841's FDR data that the profile and vibrations concluded that they suffered a yaw damper-induced lower rudder hardover (a 727 like the 747-400 has 2 rudders). After they recovered from the dive, the flight engineer reported the lower rudder yaw damper was inoperative and hydraulic fluid was leaking from the lower rudder after they landed but these two were almost instantly attributed to being a result of the high G-force pullout and no inspection for any pre-existing fault with the yaw damper was ever done. When the landing gear was lowered, the over-extension of the right main landing gear ruptured System A hydraulic system, which provided hydraulic pressure to the lower rudder and slats, caused the lower rudder the center, allowing the pilots to recover from the dive. The misalignment of the No. 7 slat resulted in it not locking into place and was held in place by hydraulic pressure and aerodynamic forces alone. With the hydraulic pressure for the No. 7 slat gone, it extended at roughly 8,000 feet and tore off almost immediately.

Right but in that situation and in cockpit our mind not work properly.
I’m pretty sure that what happened, but there’s also another video from Smithsonian about flight 841, but it’s the investigation. You could understand it there better.
@@EpicJoshua314 correct me if im wrong but an airliner china once crashed due to the yaw dampener being reactivated after a fault
On April 4, 1979, at or around 9:48 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (01:48 UTC), while flying over Saginaw, Michigan, the Boeing 727-31 airliner began a sharp, uncommanded roll to the right, and subsequently went into a spiral dive.
Me reading this comment at 9.48 pm
This has got to be the best emergency landing without hydraulics in these incidents
1:06
Notice the focus on Slat Seven. Nice foreshadowing.

Great pilot for sure. He did an amazing job
Wow!
That was close!
The dive looked eerily similar to Alaska Airlines Flight 261
TWA Flight 841 was a scheduled passenger flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, en route to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On April 4, 1979, at or at 9:48 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (01:48 UTC) while flying over Saginaw, Michigan, the Boeing 727-31 airliner began a sharp, hit uncommanded roll to the right, and subsequently went to a spiral dive. The pilots were able to regain control of the aircraft and made a successful emergency landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

I watched this episode with my brother 3 weeks ago, it was very interesting.

Pilot is a hero this clip but next xlip hes the one to blame for the plane losing control
Imagine without flaps
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.

Not for nothing, but in my opinion I'd want that captain on my plane. Holy hell, that plane should have crashed and he pulled it out of a death dive and landed it safely!! Amazing job!
The captain actually broke a lot of rules and he caused the roll over
@@lazydevs3075not really
That was his finest moment. Two of his less finer moments were setting slats to two degrees in cruise breaking them and causing the u commanded roll, and the second was covering up his ordering the flaps to be so set by erasing the cockpit voice recorder when back on the ground. See Wikipedia quoting the NTSB report.
This is called G-lock if a person is blacking out
That 727 did 6gs
Can you do twa 800-?
Guys, where is season 1 all episodes???
merry-go-round GO AROUND!!!!!!!😊
Do people that go thru such ever fly again
Some people will piss off the fta
If I See Smithsonian team near to airport,I will cancel my ticket and will go by train
Only find Team Wonder at station and cancelling that too
Who is doing the voice over? Nice voice❤
Plane Train world a damage rubber landing here 👏
One month after American 191 crashed
but it’s air crash investigation s22 but air disasters have been in national geographic gor disney+ please update for air disasters s23 also now as air crash investigation s23
His dicion cost lives no excuses
Oh my god
Complete darkness.... Can't see this video properly
And then they were hung out to dry by the FAA.
Nope, Trans World Airlines and ALPA, the pilots union, heavily defended the pilots and even awarded them a medal for their act of heroism. Most pilots who flew with the captain insisted that the investigators conclusions were wrong.
Running forward Troy until winter 2121 and take up take off on season one that's right go forward auntie fall down
Twa
I like planes
Is this a 727
The evidence shows this is what most likely happened. While cruising at 39,000 feet, the bolt to the outboard right aileron on a 13 year old 727 fractured, causing the aileron to free-float up (flutter) and create the high frequency vibration Captain Hoot Gibson reported. As the aileron floated up, the plane banked to the right and turned off its heading, the autopilot tried to correct for this by moving the control wheel left. Once the control wheel turned more than 10°, the spoilers on the left wing deployed to aid in roll control, creating the slight buffeting. With the plane turning right and the autopilot commanding a left turn, the 727 was in a cross-controlled position. The yaw damper rate gyro and or coupler sensed discrepant rudder inputs which resulted in a lower rudder hardover, causing the plane to yaw severely right. In this condition the left wing produced more lift as a result; on sweptback planes like the 727, a large sideslip angle produces a large rolling moment. Hoot disconnected the autopilot and applied opposite aileron and upper rudder, but with the lower rudder in the hardover position and limited roll control due to the right outboard aileron free-floating, Hoot’s control inputs were insufficient to prevent TWA 841 from going into an uncontrollable spiral dive.
Hello is there an email adress we can contact for business inquiries?
That Pilot Was Smart His Aircraft Was In A Spiriling Down and He Put The Gear down and regained control of the aircraft at 5,000 feet And Landing At 220 Knots Which Is 90 Knots Faster Than A Normal Landing Speed Of A 727 Which Is 127 Knots.

Probably not, cause he used an authorized procedure

Yes, Hoot did fly again. He flew the Space Shuttle five times.
Yes he did fly again. Trans World Airlines and ALPA, the pilots union, heavily defended the pilots and even awarded them a medal for their act of heroism. Most pilots who flew with the captain insisted that the investigators conclusions were wrong. He continued flying until 1989 as a 747 Captain.

@@jobypaul8572 yes
@@user-ul1hp8vp7y I think you need to see the psychiatrist.
I think the moon 🌙 saved them 🤔🤔🤔. Imagine a moonless night or had the moon 🌙 been behind them 🤔🤔🤔🤔
The most heroic thing they did was landing at Detroit, even without declaring May Day. Wonder what month was that 🤔🤔🤔
Perhaps very long time too…, because TWA sounds prehistoric 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Remind me of Flash air which managed to pull their plane out of a dive but because of moonless night, they crashed into the Red sea.
These pilots land like a shit dude 3:02
i mean if ur flying 90 knots faster for a safe landing then u will obviously have a damaged landing
