Altitude episode 13: Dealing with Emergencies: The story of BAW38
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- On 17 January 2008, flight BAW38 crash landed short of the runway at Heathrow Airport following a total loss of power to both engines. Remarkably there were no fatalities, but it remains the most serious commercial aircraft accident in the UK in recent years.
The fact that it did not end in tragedy is testament both to how incredibly safe modern aviation has become, and to the training and professionalism of all the individuals involved.
But what is it really like to be faced with an unfolding emergency? Can any amount of training equip someone with the skill, confidence, and courage to do what’s needed in the midst of a potential disaster?
Hear from two of the controllers in the tower that day about what would be the most memorable, pressurised and emotionally charged few minutes of their lives. Find out how events unfolded and the legacy the incident has had on their lives, careers and wider industry.
This is lovely to watch. I'm a pilot based at Gatwick and it's a privilege to know we are so looked after by such professionals in an emergency
Thank you to all the personnel who are so highly trained who bring in millions of aircraft safely each and every day. We forget about the tower....not because we think they are not important but because they don't bring attention upon themselves. They are the quiet specialists...who never brag.
Thank you so much....
Superb gents thank you very much. I’m an Aero Eng by degree and it gives me so much faith to hear you all speak about this incident; the level and impact of training you receive and the calm and professional way you handle incidents. The other thing is the way safety is just ingrained in you all and the ability and open cultur to speak about and take action from your lessons. Well done and thank you.
Such an amazing personal account from a really incredible group of professionals who clearly performed admirably in a very hostile situation, thanks so much for sharing. I’m an anaesthetist and I can really see how far medicine has to still come from a perspective of learning and growing after a critical incident. At least someone’s doing it right!
I enjoyed this interview. They have a great sense of humor. Had a chuckle here and there. Thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing this - was gutted when I wasn't able to make the livestream. I've listened to the clip of the accident on CZcams many times, always amazed by the professionalism.
Excellent chat, Ady, Adam & Greg. Thank you for sharing your experiences of the event. Some very good learning points to take away.
I can feel the intensity just watching.
I am currently doing my FISO validation at EGBO and have seen a test turn out there, having to deal with things so can relate to this.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and, more importantly, thank you for your invaluable professionalism.
Incredible view from ATCs side of the fence. Guys you were incredible. So level headed and calm. Trust the lifts not working on that day. Maybe Sods law at play there.
Excellent insights of day today at Heathrow Airport and how you all cope in the control tower. Thank you 🙌
So interesting, thank you for sharing your stories on this incident. Good to hear another perspective.
Genuinely interesting watching, was great to hear more of the communications after the crash (other than what previously leaked).
Thanks for sharing this it was very interesting 👍
Excellent stuff. Thanks for putting it up. Congrats to everyone for your professionalism.
so, there are no videos of the crash?? come onnn?? at Heathrow one of the busiest airport in the world??!!
such an interesting viewing!
I'd like to know what headset supervisor Adam is using in this chat. I'd assume an ATCO would be pretty exacting on this, and I'm dissatisfied with my Logitech H390!
