    This was literally the best story-telling of this case that I’ve ever heard. The sheer amount of detail and plot twists blew my mind. Literally when I thought the story was over, and you said “But, this was not the end of the story for flight 401” and the moments I’ve heard after that sent chills down my spine. Bravo MrBallen, bravo!

    I am a retired airline pilot and we studied this accident at length. It resulted in training changes that ensured whenever there was a mechanical problem on board that the flying pilot would stay focused on only flying the aircraft and not get involved in troubleshooting the problem.

    My Dad was an aerospace engineer and his best friend at Lockheed was one of the engineers that worked on that planes design. Our family's were in New York and getting ready to go to Miami Florida. We were supposed to be on that flight. Earlier that day my brother was in a car accident and we had to change our plans. As kids we were very unhappy about missing the vacation. When we heard the news we were stunned to say the least and afraid to fly. I was only 9. The thought that I could have died haunted me all my life. Since then I have had 4 additional last minute changes that "saved/spared" my life. I'm so grateful for life's pivots that have spared my life.

      I’m a skeptic by nature…my dad is a hardline atheist and man of science, who’s never been shy about shooting down any of the paranormal or interesting conspiracies I’ve ever broached to him.
      Having said that…this case is quite unique. Of course, elements of it are probably embellished…but the sheer number of witnesses and reports is difficult to contend with.
      I’d be interested in knowing the validity of such claims as “they removed every one of the spare parts that had belonged to 401, and never gave an explanation.” Because I don’t imagine the brain trust at eastern airline would be happy about perfectly good mechanical parts suddenly being scrapped, and for presumably no reason.

      There was never any evidence that any crash parts were salvaged, and no one reported any ghost sightings until a reporter took a joke from a flight engineer too seriously. The flight engineer jokingly said he thought he saw the ghost of the dead flight engineer when checking the engines, and ghost on a plane made it to newspapers. The reason ghost sightings stopped getting reported is because people just forgot about the crash after a while, they were no longer paranoid. In the reports the ghost didn't tell anyone of a malfunction. The flight engineer heard a knocking sound in the hell hole, opened the door to check it, thought he saw a ghost in the darkness, checked it out and found a problem that could have caused a crash. People act like it's crazy for a malfunctioning engine part to make a knocking sound.

He went down to Miami to see the wreckage and there was still a burnt corps he said was stuck in the seat with his hands on the belt. My father was told that many of the seatbelts jammed locking the passengers in and trapping them to burn to death. The rest of his life he wouldn’t put one on b/c of the trauma of that image. He would always get choked up talking about it. Crazy to hear you speak of this! I have chills.

Irrelevant but I think that's why a lot of Ghosts are said to just wander aimlessly because that's how they felt when they died whereas these pilots felt like they had a duty. Not to go off on one.

Richard, frequently spoke of his experiences about the crash & his recovery. He said that while he was floating in the Everglades, he distinctly recalled seeing an apparition walking among the debris. He also said that he wasn’t certain if seeing this apparition was due to inhaled fuel fumes or it was really a ghost. Also, due to your military medic history, you may find it interesting that it was this disaster that CRM - Crew Resource Management & how we run codes, is based upon! I’m in the medical field & have worked closely with members of the aviation community that also teach ACLS/BLS.
    I am so thankful that Richard Micale, survived this crash. He actually saved my life & is the only reason I am here to comment on your video today! Richard, passed away many years ago.

      while im inclined to agree, i just want to say that (i've only gotten to the 'not alone' part) that the first story honestly makes a lot of sense. that bottom floor is cramped and already really spooky. and both the flight attendants were directed to go down there when asking where the other was... so naturally they were expecting to find someone down there. i think that was the reason they both had that "strong sense of not being alone." it's the fact that they were quite literally supposed to find someone down there, but didn't.
      idk, it just doesn't seem paranormal to me; just a kind of psychological thing since they were expecting to find someone but didn't.
      edit: i must admit, the second story is just absolutely intriguing, i don't think anything can explain it
      edit 2: from an article
      Among the general public, Eastern Air Lines flight 401 is best known not for its safety lessons, but for an alleged haunting which became one of the most widely shared urban legends to emerge from the aviation industry. According to the story, popularized by the 1976 pseudo-nonfiction novel Ghosts of Flight 401, Eastern Air Lines salvaged intact galley equipment from the wrecked airliner and installed it on another L-1011, after which passengers and crew began seeing lifelike apparitions of Bob Loft and Don Repo in the galley area. The story became so popular that Eastern Air Lines had to tell its employees to stop writing up ghost sightings in the flight logs. However, the actual origin of the sightings is much more prosaic. In fact, the story seems to have originated in a 1973 Flight Safety Foundation article about an engine failure on another Eastern Air Lines plane, which jokingly described the pilot “[thinking] he saw the ghost of Don Repo.” Someone took this attempt at humor too seriously, and the story spread from there, often being taken as canon, even though no one saw a ghost until after the story was published, nor was there any evidence that equipment from flight 401 was actually salvaged.
      TLDR: the logs were originated from an urban legend in a novel and it's believed that employees started to log these sightings as jokes as a reference to the novel; also the fact that there is no evidence that equipment from flight 401 was ever salvaged... kinda disappointed mrballen didn't mention this, but rather stated it as fact that material was salvaged

    • @brettjohnson5102
      @brettjohnson5102 Před 5 měsíci

      @fruitygranulizer540 You say "from a novel" in the tldr. To me, that makes it sound like it was taken from a work of fiction. I mean, at least it was from a non-fiction novel. Trust me, I know that doesn't really prove any of this really happened, but I'd like to think there's something to this. While I am interested in your findings, I kind of wish I wouldn't have read your reply. Only because it's fun to think it could have really happened the way Mr Ballen explained it. It's strange because when I think about the possibility of the paranormal, I am torn. On one hand, the idea of an afterlife in general seems preposterous. It doesn't really make sense to me. But I think it's a little, for lack of a better word, presumptuous to think that way. Mankind has, and will always, think they have everything all figured out. You can look back through history and see how many times we were completely wrong when we were so damn sure we were right. The Earth is flat. Everything, including the sun, orbits us. Galileo (following Copernicus' heliocentric theory)
      debunked that and was sentenced to life in prison (house arrest) for heresy. Scientists called galaxies nebulae before Edwin Hubbel used the standard candle of a type one-a supernovae to confirm that Andromeda is its own galexy. The list goes on, but my point is that just because we don't understand something and lack the technology and know how to prove it, that doesn't mean we should reject it as an impossibility.
      Sorry for the "novel." Brevity has never been my strongsuit. I just feel like a lot of us, myself included, are too close-minded for our own good. Speaking of novels, I kinda want to read that one you were talking about. The one that supposedly started this whole gem of a story.

      just as a PSA, all these stories come from the book "The Ghosts of Flight 401", written by a ufo kook haha, not a SINGLE part from 401 was installed on any other plane, thats not a thing that happens
      and its not a coincidence all his unverified claims cant be corroborated because the airline mysteriously removed all the logbooks every time hahaha, as if theyd care about these claims. people actually tracked down a lot of the people mentioned, who said none of this ever happened and the book was just sensationalizing and cashing in on the tragic plane crash.

    My dad was a WW2 decorated fighter pilot. (P-47 Thunderbolts.) He used to read a lot about everything, including the paranormal. By 1975, he had read the novel about Flight 401. That year I was 15. I remember Bohemian Rhapsody was a hit on the radio. That year we flew with my mom to Puerto Rico for a pilot's convention. Eastern Airlines. L-1011. From Richmond, Va, to Atlanta, Ga. then on to Puerto Rico. When we got to Atlanta, we saw our plane show up, and my dad whispered, oh $hit.
    I said "What?" He just said remember that plane #. So, I did, and quickly forgot about it. It was a perfect flight. Eastern Airlines were the best, and the L-1011 was a magnificent airplane. We sat by the wings, and I marveled over those giant Rolls Royce jet engines. I felt incredibly safe, until my dad mentioned we were flying right through The Bermuda Triangle!
    The flight was noneventful, although I have a million stories about that vacation. Like my dad getting locked out of the room in his underwear.
    We flew back home on Eastern, both L-1011s, and that was that.
    About a week later I remember my dad when he told me to remember that plane number, and I asked him about it. He just handed me his copy of "The Ghost of Flight 401". I read it, and I got the worst chills of my life. We literally flew on Plane #318 from Atlanta to Puerto Rico. Nothing weird happened, but this was after they removed all of the #401 parts.
    I swear this is all true.
    Thinking back on it now? It kind of freaks me out.

He's a perfectionist and would always inspect the plane that he was going to fly and would write up a report if he found any issues. Eastern threatened him several times about the write ups until they finally fired him and blacklisted him from the industry in which he couldn't get a job for over a decade. He would later get work doing private flights until he was approached by and currently works for the FAA as an aircraft safety inspector/investigator out of JFK. There were a lot of issues with that airline and it's no wonder they went out of business.

    I remember learning about this when I was a kid in the 90's, bc in 1978 they made a movie about it called "The Ghost of Flight 401." It came on the TV one evening and my dad was explaining everything as we watched it.
    A heartbreaking part I remember from the film is the Captain was alive but badly hurt, and as he was being carried he just cried asking "How many dead?! How many dead?! I'm so sorry.!" Then he died not long after.

    Dude, talk about storytelling at its finest! Our account of Not Alone had me breathing quietly and so tense and my heart was racing! It’s been a while since I’ve felt like that about a ghost story! Big props to you for telling with such respect & reverence, and clearly being so passionate about telling these stories! And thanks to the captain and engineer for keeping their new planes safe. ❤

    Both of my parents worked for Eastern for over twenty years, and were with the company when this unfortunate event occurred. Their home base (at that time) was MIA, the Miami International Airport. My mother, who was a flight attendant then, never did have an encounter but she told me one of her friends and fellow flight attendants saw flight engineer Repo on one of her flights after the crash. My father, who was a mechanic for Eastern, had no supernatural encounters though he no doubt worked on the planes with parts cannibalized from 401, as he specialized on the L1011. I have personally worked on an L1011 in a museum setting and it's a magnificent bird. It's a shame this tragedy ever occurred.
    I have a theory that the ghosts of those who failed to prevent the accident served as guardians for the fleet in the afterlife, as it is the responsibility of the crew to assure the safety of all souls onboard their aircraft. It seems to me as though they took this duty very seriously.

    I read this book, "The Ghost of Flight 401" many years ago. It's my favorite account of a haunting Ive ever read. These ghosts were protecting the flights they appeared on. On one occasion Don Repo appeared to flight staff and told them that there would never be another crash of an L1011. I highly recommend reading the book!

    I lived near the ‘glades when the plane went down. My dad went out to try to help. While out there, they witnessed others in airboats stripping watches and valuables off people who were still in the water. It was so disgusting. He said others who were out there trying to help, as dad and his friends were ran them off, beyond disgusted at humanity. The thought of that haunted me for a long time.

      If it wasn't, we wouldn't hear about the countless people since time immemorial who have acted in such a vile, greedy, base way. Speaking of which, your idea of justice for such individuals imo is more inhumane then the very act you are punishing them for...
