Spanair flight 5022 crash just moments after leaving the ground at Madrid Airport in 2008. The crash was a result of Pilot error and a quirk in the aircrafts systems. 154 people were killed in the crash of Spanair flight 5022.

make flight 90
Can you make a playlist of your videos?
You do a fantastic job of breaking things down for people that are unfamiliar with aircraft. I did notice one minor mistake, though. The weight on wheels (WOW) switch is not located on the NLG on this aircraft or any other. On this particular airframe there is a prox sensor on the LH MLG and a scissor switch on the RH MLG that signal weight on wheels. There are a multitude of reasons why it would be a bad idea to use the NLG to indicate WOW.
If you're ever unsure about anything mechanical or have any general questions about aircraft maintenance, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you out.
This is a great series. No actor reenactments, no false drama in the narrator's voice; just straight information.
Agreed!
Completely agree! l can't watch those over dramatized TV series style 'documentaries' anymore that drag on a case like this to 1 hour by repeating information & adding filler
agree, i hate watching those

John Johnson was a 45 year old llama farmer from Halifax with 3 children on the plane.
@@greggstrasser5791 lmao 💀💀💀
Crazy that even being so close to the ground, an accident like this still ends in the loss of so much life.
@Star Impressions agreed. There has been worse crashes at the end of the scheduled flight with more people surviving due to no fuel left in the plane hence no fire and smoke. I would say there’s been so many crashes where people have initially survived but perished due to fire and smoke.
@Singer Impressions Also speed. 200 km/h may not be very fast for a large plane, but it's still very, very fast for fragile meatbags like us.
@@mal2ksc still 124 mph that’s pretty quick to crash in anything
Stuff like this makes me wanna say "nope" to getting on commercial aircraft. One stupid mistake.... Fiery death.
@@alanluscombe8a553 so it was an instant death?
On that day, I flew with my family from Luxembourg to Gran Canaria. We arrived and took our luggage. Outside of the airport, where we wanted to take a taxi to get to the hotel, dozens of people were crying, sitting on the floor with their faces in their hands. We asked our taxi driver why those people were crying. He told us that they just heard of the plane crash minutes ago. We spent the first afternoon in the hotel not at the pool, but watching the Spanish news in our room.
Sad
Wow
So sad
Omg
I went to Spain this summer and the same day we arrived at Spain we turned on the news that a building had just fallen in Miami with around 100 fatalities, so we basically stayed all day watching the news and checking back home.
Unreal when systems like a takeoff warning are envisioned, engineered, and implemented into aircraft to prevent crashes - only to be disabled or damaged.
As is always the case, air crashes usually require two or more completely unrelated events to occur - as is the case here, but systems-wise this is still tragic.
When you advance those throttles and hear the warning, you immediately reject. Everyone would have been fine. 😭
This channel is criminally undersubscribed, excellent content!
Thank you for your kind comment.
I agree with this comment 💯!
😂😂😂 this comment is funny
Yes, as people keep saying, on every. single. video...
I agree!
So glad I discovered this channel, instead of just looking at poorly described text boxes
What do you mean by "poorly described text boxes."?
@@pollypockets508 like the flight channel. he/she explains stuff horribly and doesn't use voice
@@edwardmarcusgibson4034 He doesnt
You just hate him
@@edwardmarcusgibson4034 flight channel is better though
It's a different way of doing it...Alec Joshua Ibay and flight channel both do a fantastic job. Some people have annoying voices. Some people listen to this as an audio book but for me it's nothing without the visual and proper info is more important than anything
I've watched hundreds of air crash investigation videos. It's shocking how many crashes were caused by the flaps not being set properly. If you're sitting behind the wing, and you notice the flaps are retracted as you're about to take off, yell as loud as you can that the flaps are not set. You'll save everyone's life.
It’s because of comments like this people are afraid of flying. No, your yelling won’t work, but something called TOCWS would sound in the cockpit and alert the crew of possible deviation of proper takeoff configuration. So please, no lying and no sensationalism
@@radovicstefan Give it a rest, Karen.
@@radovicstefan How well did that system perform on this flight?
Maybe let them know somehow if you notice it while taxiing to the runway instead of during the takeoff roll. At least they have time to fix it then
@@radovicstefan TOWS didn't sound in this case. The poster is not wrong you know?
For some reason I feel like I learn more from your videos then actually high quality documents
Thank you I appreciate that
It's because disaster documentaries are usually unnecessarily sensationalized and turned into some sort of thriller.
What do you mean by "high quality documents", just main stream tv broadcasts ? Then the answer is simple, it's because they aren't high quality at all, why would you think that ? Media conglomerates are olichopolists, no real need to provide quality, just appeal to the broadest public. YT vids like this are made by people who genuinely appreciate the topic and as such make much higher quality content. Simple as that.
Your videos are short but still somehow better then 1 hour long documents,so keep up the amazing work
No filler! I wish everyone who makes factual videos would use this man as a role model.
I found this channel like month ago and I can't get enough. This channel is awesome, i just love the way he explains everything, even though I watched most of these on Air Crash Investigation he always has some new info about the crash that they didn't mention on the ACI episodes. He deserves way more subscribers i am sharing this channel with everyone I know. Excellent work man, stay safe and healthy. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us Aviation junkies.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment.
While any crash and loss of life is tragic, your analysis of why it happened gets the scientific part of my mind thinking about it.
A whole lot has to go right for a successful flight, but only one oversight and it's a bad day for everyone.
Thank you for your dedication to this endeavor. We all appreciate it.
I also flew Spanair to Tenerife one week later. I'll be honest. I was worried.
There were more people who survived, but died in the hospital
So you mean they “initially survived “
@@fluffy-fluffy5996 yes
:-(
what a pleasure to see you back again!!
for me, you're the founder of a new generation of airplane crash videos; professional, detailed and way better than the others.
please make videos about space shuttle disasters :)
All the best
I would absolutely love to do the Columbia Disaster. I believe there are resources for X-plane flight simulator for shuttles. I will have to have a look at that. At the moment I am trying to work through some popular requests. I will do that one though sometime.
This is one of my favorite air crash investigation flights
Watching these videos makes me think I ought to be very patient about delays when travelling. Many of them seem to happen because people are hurrying, trying to keep on schedule!
This video requires way more views. Excellent presentation!
Hello dear i am the only bread earner..
Kindly give me a favor by
Interesting thing to note: the captain of NWA flight 255’s name was John Maus. So in essence Dedmau5 lived and John Maus died on two very similar air crashes.
Of all the accidents I’ll never understand, forgetting to set the slats and flaps before take off rates #1 on my list. It’s just so fundamental.
"They had the idea to cool the probe with dry ice..."
Welp, that sure sounds like treating a symptom instead of the problem. At least it doesn't seem to have factored in to this one?
Your content Is well done! I've learned some things in your videos that weren't pointed out in Mayday or Seconds to Disaster. Disaster request. You should consider
Comair Flight 5191. Not many documentaries or media content on this tragic mistake.
I remember flying with Spanair with my parents some time in the early 90s, when I was around 7 or 8 years old. We returned from Gran Canaria, where we spent our summer vacation. As we were waiting to board, other passengers on our flight would joke how Spanair would be a subsidiary/successor of Spantax, an infamous Spanish airline that ceased operations in the late 80s after being involved in a series of accidents and incidents... I had the laughs on my side when one passenger remarked that "Spanair is the new Spantax - only every second plane survives..." and I replied "Well lucky us, the first one just left for Hamburg!"
I guess sarcasm has always been my second language... XD
@@Turmogo I'm sorry, I guess I should've put it in quotation marks as it was - like I wrote - what other passengers on that flight were calling it. I've just been a kid back then, without the interest in and knowledge of aviation and airlines that I have today, so for quite a while Spantax was "infamous" for me as a kid going on vacation... I didn't mean to insult anyone here or cause misunderstandings.
this is a repeat of Northwest Airlines flight 255. Even down to the same number of people who died on the plane (since NWA crash had two on the ground die as well)
I absolutely LOVE your videos! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Now I look forward to Saturdays even more. 💗
The Pilots forgot to recheck and reconfigure the plane for take off. They ass / umed they were ready. They were complacent , forgot to go thru their take off check list anew This is a large part of a lot of crashes like this. Another thing is when the pilot calls out the mechanic's crew to look at something, They turn off / on breakers and may forget to re set them. The Captain & 1st Officer need to go over the take off check list again. They forget to do this, thinking the "OK / all set" really means something, it does not, they have to do the full check list fresh. Time is money. What a shame.
I love your channel! You describe things so well and I can understand everything easily. Your simulations of the flight in (i think?) Flight sim help me visualize it even better. Keep up the good work!
RIP to the people who died in these accidents Spanair 5022 and Northwest 255 🙏🏽
actually at 2:40 its true deadmau5 was gonna board the flight i dunno if you have seen the h3 podcast with deadmau5 he was talkin about this incident
Good to hear you got your computer situation fixed, glad to have your videos back!
Always such good content! Thanks for the commitment.
I remember this day perfectly, my mother had scheduled this plane to travel to the canary islands, although she didn't liked the scheduled time,so she asked to the travel agency to change it if another flight appeared.
One week before,wr changed or flights and leaved Madrid only 1 hour before the accident
Thank you for condensing an hour's TV into just a few minutes, great work 👍🏼
Thank you so much for these videos! I find them fascinating and terrifying. I found this channel yesterday and have been flying through all the videos. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been on a tail strike takeoff in an MD 80! In the back row between the engines!
Ouch.
been binge watching this channel for the past week and i am loving it
A First Officer with 500 hours flying an RPT jet is ABSURD.
why
This channel is genuinely waaay better than most tv shows about air disasters.. More infos and better explanations. Keep up the amazimg work.
Man, imagine Deadmau5 dying in a Spanish plane crash. All the great music he's put out in the years after this accident would just not exist. Crazy to think about. Probably would have done way more damage to Spanair too
How do you forget to set flaps on a commercial plane...
Shout out to the people who legitimately thought malware took down a plane. You're part of the reason why we can't have nice things
Well done Anthony
Really well done, as usual.
Very well done. The video is relevant to each step of the narration, and the explanations are clear and complete.
Love your channel man and keep up the great work
A takeoff config issue on the same family of aircraft 30 years later…just absolutely amazing.
Great video! Love your channel 😀
you got to have 0 emotion to be a good pilot and make sure everything gets done b4 take off. And why put the flaps which is the most important thing for take off at the BOTTOM of a take off checklist???
This video is one of more of the most accurate that I have seen , but there are some things not mentioned or wrong:
One flight attendant survived , and kept flying with Spanair until the end of the company.
There was a bulletin which request to check the TOWS before each flight by the CREW , Spanair was doing it only the first flight of the day ( this was the second one)
In spanish media , they blamed about maintenance , saying that they disconnected the TOWS , but the C/B pulled to dispatch the inoperative temp sensor as not direct impact in the electrical source for the TOWS. Also the resolutions of the investigation indicates that , with the maintenance manual info and the MEL info , is not possible to relation the fault of the RAT/TAT with the TOWS.
As is shown in the video , they identify the "STALL" audio alert as an "engine stall" , and they lowered the power to the right engine , this is way the A/C banks to the right.
Those poor pilots. They were on the brink of losing their jobs and they ended up losing their lives. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Good video mate good content well done well put together
Excellent content.
this scenario must have been unsettling to those passengers who happened to know some things about planes. when you are sitting in the window seat near the wing and you know the plane uses flaps and slats during take-off and landing, imagine sitting there during the second attempt on the runway with none of that and engines powering up. i think i would have gotten up and kick the cockpit door in to tell the pilots to engage flaps and slats with terror in my voice.
this channel needs more subs
I vividly remember seeing this crash on the news. I was in Italy, on a trip with my family. This crash is what triggered my sister's fear of flying since we had to fly home that week :(
Excellent channel!
Live these Videos Chloe only found ur channel a month ago but getting through them great story telling
Oh wow, I didn't know a legend watched my videos!
Alright. Subbing. Really good stuff, man.
You need more subscribers! Your channel was randomly recommended to me and I'm on my fourth video now. You do such a good job. Can't wait to see future content from this channel!
Thank you. I am thrilled you like my content. There are new videos every Saturday
Love the channel!
Im glad deadmau5 wasnt on this flight.
New subscriber here. Excellent, well detailed video. Thanks.
You deserve more subs, if I’m gonna be honest when I first clicked on one of your videos I thought you would have 500k or more.
I am binge watching these videos today....well done 👍💯
Glad you like them!
@@DisasterBreakdown 💯
One of the best CZcams channels.
So Deadmau5 and the few people who missed there flight got lucky that day, sadly the ones on board weren't that lucky though
I'm a huge Deadmau5 fan. Just thinking of all of the songs he's made after 2008 that never would have been made makes my head hurt. Glad Joel missed his flight.
you are macking great videos thats intresting to watch
Deadmau5 missed this flight by like 1 minute, how crazy
I recall that it was before only a day or two from when I had to fly from Madrid then. It was really weird and scary at the airport... I knew enough about airplanes then to be happy to fly on Iberia's A320 back home as that plane was much more modern and Iberia pilots have a much better reputation. RIP.
It really amazes me how frequently this dude manages to post these great quality videos, keep up the great work my dude👍 edit: at the time of writing this comment i did not know she was transgender so that's why i said "dude", my bad.
Outstanding 👍

I gasped when I heard Deadmau5
Any plans for a video on TWA flight 800 soon? Love the videos
Another fantastic video! I think your viewership will explode soon. Thank you!
Watching this at the Airport waiting for my flight.
Writing pssydefect with two s makes it a wholly different kind of name xD
This is what I am talking about.
Everytime you call for trouble shooting they always assume you forgot to do the simple things
Competent people do not call for simple things that one can do on there own
Man do you have a lot of knowledge about aircraft and/or you do exceptional research.
You are the best at describing plane crashes keep up the great work🙏😃
This plane never should have been cleared for takeoff, there was clearly a problem with the plane itself, and if I was a passenger, as soon as it taxied back, I would have gotten off
I'm not saying that the pilot didn't make errors, however, he knew something was wrong when he kept it grounded :(
He grounded it because of a faulty sensor which like is described isn't make or break to abort the flight. But as a good pilot should, wanted it checked out to ensure safety of the flight. Unless the plane is brand new many planes have something INOP in them usually they're just comfort related items. Many pilots do a verification of their checklists during taxi or holding short to ensure a situation like this doesn't happen. After the plane starts rolling is when skill and technology goes out the window. By one the ground sensor not operating and two them not reacting properly to the stall warning. They should have either aborted take off (if they had enough runway) or lowered their pitch till they had enough airspeed. Of course this is all armchair quarterbacking. But from description of the video the reaction to the stall was not appropriate.
I did a lot of flying in the 80’s and 90’s, and due to the inordinate number of crashes due to improper wing configuration, I always kept my eye on the wing to make sure I was seeing what I was supposed to see.
i love your voice

Hello! Can you make a DISASTER BREAKDOWN video about Philippine Airlines flight 434? That would be really good! Also, you just earned a new sub!
Fun fact deadmau5 was supposed to be on this flight but was just slightly late
spanair sounds like a french person saying spanner
I was at the airport that day flying to Lisbon with Spanair. Didn't see it, but everyone heard the crash. It was traumatizing to say the least
I flew an IBERIA md-80... eww. I hate that plane and I will NEVER ever get into an older plane or a Boeing 737-8 MAX.
The 757s are old too but far better, I flew on them many times.
Thanks
the channel hasnt given a heart to you somehow so here is one ❤
Pre liking the videos at this point
What’s the flight simulator used at this video?
I use X-plane 11
This flight is eerie similar to NW Flight 255 36 years ago today (08/16/23), not configuring flaps after a long delay
MD-82 - the reason they called it the 82 was: for unreliable airspeed, (N1) 80% throttle, with 2 degrees nose up, will give 250 knots level flight.
MEL states you can fly without heating not when it is on all the time including on ground. Technician was pressured by pilots to find a usable MEL in orderer for them to be able to leave.
I'm continually amazed how systems designers perpetually design systems that can get in to invalid states, and leave identifying the invalid state and fixing issues or errors up to the user...
Granted, engineering is hard as hell, though it's just weird how many times a simple, proper status display (or good logging from the software developer's side) would have allowed the user/operator/pilot to properly analyze and diagnose the situation.
If the computer knew TOWS was supposed to be functional because the plane literally could not physically already be flying by either that stage of the flight or by other instruments, it could've warned them the plane was in an abnormal state for the takeoff phase just as TOWS should have warned them of the specific config issue.
Boeing, after seeing a bunch of these crash vids, seems to really suck at providing internal systems feedback or great info on _what exactly_ is causing the computers/systems to display the warnings. They try to recover from bad situations instead of _failing fast!_
I don't know how to provide a relatable example, but these sorts of things really feel like those situations in software engineering where the program is doing something just ... completely stupid, and it's not obvious why. You try a bunch of things and it's just... "broken". Then you dig in and find out it did something basic like it still thought it connected to the server, but didn't really, and your program is failing horribly to identify the invalid state and fail out to login or something.
In physical systems like planes/etc, "failing fast" basically just means don't do anything automatic if stuff is wack (unless of course it's specifically to mitigate exactly what is wack), and _tell the operator_ what is wack so they don't have to guess.
BTW the reason I'm mad at Boeing for this is because the moment you automate and put warnings on something, you take ownership of those events. Boeing implemented TOWS. TOWS gives pilots the (apparently false) sense that _they'd be warned_ if something was wrong. Their pilots were now relying on a system.
Yet that now functionally required system doesn't have a warning of its own if it's in a bad state? The plane doesn't have an alarm that their alarms were off?? Shame on Boeing. Complete user experience design failure again and again in these crashes.
(if there IS a clearly defined TOWS OFF signal, then there should be even more shame: If a critical warning system can be turned off, or worse, _turns itself off,_ the condition where it's off but still required should be a required critical alarm itself. It should be as critical as the most critical alarm it can turn off. It'd be like your car being able to turn off its park brake warning. If your vehicle can get in to the state where the brake is on but the warning light is off, don't be surprised if you get some calls from angry customers looking for new brake pads! Or uh... crash a few planes, in Boeing's case...)
Does anyone know the name of the musical piece used in the beginning
I like your videos, but...
2:19 - TLV airport. What's the connection between this airport and the video?
It is unforgivable for professional pilots to forget to deploy slats and flaps on a take-off. How the heck did this happen?
Make a video of Pulkovo 612
