  • A Boeing 747 cargo aircraft crashes into two high-rise apartment complexes in Amsterdam, Netherlands, 13 minutes after takeoff. 13 years prior, an American Airlines DC-10 begins its takeoff from runway 32R at O'Hare International. During the takeoff roll, its left engine detaches from the wing, causing a loss of control. After the separation of the engine from the wing, passengers and crew will live 31 seconds of pure horror.

    The co-pilot on the El Al flight bravely and definitively declaring they were going down when he knew there was no chance of recovery is chilling and inspiring. He was a professional right to the end. The fact they kept control of an aircraft that was so mortally wounded for almost 5 minutes is a tribute to their skill and calm reasoning. I think they would have been devastated to know their plane killed so many on the ground. The crew of 191 had so little time to do anything especially flying an aircraft with degraded information and warning systems. I'm sure a pilot like Captain Lux could have saved his plane had he known about the stall condition. Both crashes are so sad.

    In the first incident, the Captain of the El Al flight recognized, too late, that he had no flaps on the right side. This is not easy to recognize. Other air crews have died from this. Contributing to this was El Al's failure to properly inspect the engine and pylon and replace fatigued components. On the other hand, in February of 1989, a United Airlines flight, 811, suffered a failure of a right side cargo door on a 747-100, which resulted in damage to the right wing's flaps and the loss of nine passengers. Captain David Cronin and copilot Greg Slader recognized the subtle asymmetry in lift and chose to deploy only the inboard flaps. This allowed them to return to Honolulu International and make a safe landing. It was an example of outstanding airmanship.

      On El Al Flight 1862, the video makes it appear that the flight engineer did not report the complete failure of the number 4 hydraulic system to the pilots. If the pilots had been given this information, they would have known that the outer wing trailing edge flaps would be inoperative.
      However, I'm not sure that the crew could have known about the failure of the right wing leading edge slats, which caused asymmetric lift on the aircraft.

    As I understand it, the American Airlines crash was caused by technicians installing the engine with a forklift, rather than the prescribed chain fall. The guy running the forklift rammed the engine into the pylon, causing a crack in the pylon that went unnoticed. This crack caused the pylon to fail and the engine to seperate. The technician later commited suicide before he could be tried in court.

      They were past their V1 speed, meaning the shouldn't abort unless the aircraft is no longer airworthy, and they didn't know the severity of the incident.

    • @theMoerster
      @theMoerster Před měsícem +12

      Assuming you're talking about Chicago. There is a point in takeoff called V1. That is the point at which the plane has reached a speed that means it can no longer be safely stopped on the runway. They must take off at that point no matter what. They had just passed V1 and so had to take off. Had the engine merely failed, they would have been fine and been able to save it. But it detached and damaged their slats and hydraulics. They would have had no way of knowing that. Either way, attempting to abort the takeoff at that point would have caused it to crash off the end of the runway. Taking off was the correct call...it was just not flyable based on the info the pilots had in this case.

    There is a detail missing from the second plane crash, it had a monitor installed in the front of the cabin, connected to a forward looking camera. It was meant to give the passengers a view usually only available to the pilots. 😑
    The engine fixpoint was damaged when they used a forklift to install a new engine. The forklift lacks the necessary fine control, they bumped the engine into the pylon, damaging the fixpoint. Using a forklift works much faster than the proper method, so profit above safety as usual.

      Just to let you know on how not to be very scared about flying and to give you some info about what you could do to get flying again;

      2. There is less than 1 in 11 *million* of a chance of you getting into a plane crash
      3. If an engine fails, or if something fails, the plane would almost certainly not crash. A plane can still fly with at least 1 engine running. If all engines are out, the aircraft can glide for a while.

      @@GabroPlayz in regard to the plane gliding with all engines out, I thought that would have been an option for the El Al plane as soon as it was found that steering hard left resulted in a right turn of the plane. That would tell me something was wrong with the bird and to try gliding if even for a bit to see if that resolved the issue. If that was the case, they could have restarted the two left engines and reset the flaps and continued to fly until they had to reduce speed again to land and then glide.

    I saw a lengthy documentary years ago about the Chicago crash ... it had said that when the engine came off, it cut power to the captain's controls leaving the copilot flying. Apparently a co pilot stick shaker was optional when the aircraft was ordered but was not requested. .. it was a long time since I watched it so my memory might not be right. Anybody else out there ever hear this? Would it have changed the outcome?

    Hindsight is 20/20, but if they had aborted the take-off as soon as they heard the loud bang (Chicago flight) it "might" have saved them, and at the very least increased the chances of survival. But then again, it probably took them 10 to 15 seconds just to access and grasp the gravity of the damage and loss of controls, and by then, it was simply too late to do much of anything.

    The DC-10 was the 737 Max of its day. Like earlier crashes, this crash was caused in part by poor design, the loss of hydraulics caused an incommanded retraction of the slats on one wing instead of them remaining in the safe position. Other than that the plane should have been recoverable.

    • @theMoerster
      @theMoerster Před měsícem +1

      There was nothing out of ordinary for the hydraulic design for 1979. This is in no way the fault of the aircraft. The crash was caused by lazy AA maintenance procedures that ran counter to the manufacturer instructions. DC10 had a better safety record than the 747 and most other widebody jets of its era. The only major design flaw was the cargo door that led to a crash, which would have been avoided if Turkish Airlines had followed a maintenance bulletin issued following an earlier incident. It continued flying into the 2020's with few incidents. It's bad reputation was never deserved otherwise.

      Actually I'd consider the MD-11 to be a closer equivalent to the 737 MAX, in that both aircraft were upgrades of a previous design (the DC-10 or the 737 NG) intended to improve fuel efficiency, but which introduced a dangerous deficiency in the handling.
      In the case of the MD-11 it was because the horizontal stabilizer was made too small, while in the case of the 737 MAX is was that the engines were mounted too far forward (due to their greater diameter).

    Lowering the flaps was a fatal mistake and could have been avoided, but perhaps it would not have helped. The pilots could have engaged the flight staff to help look out that side of the airplane. The PAX could also have said something, since they would have seen the engines departed. The point is that you don't try that with obvious damage on the airplane.
