  • For the 89 passengers aboard an early evening flight from John F Kennedy Airport to Minneapolis, TWA Flight 841 is like any other. Until at 9.30pm, less than halfway to their destination, catastrophe strikes. Suddenly, the plane rolls steeply to the right. With all his might, Captain Gibson struggles to bring the aircraft under control as with each passing second, thousands of feet in altitude are lost. Travelling at almost the speed of sound, the landing gear is lowered in an attempt to slow the plane down. It works, and an emergency landing is planned at Detroit. But the story doesn't end there...

    For anyone wondering about the sparks, they were due to the gear doors dragging on the runway.

      At least one of your wishes is received because the Sichuan 8633 incident is planned to be in the 23rd season. I think you already know from the info in Twitter.

    1:01 This filmmakers so desire to let us know that plane on the runway they ignore even logic: Detroit Airport is 645 ft over sea level so altimeter supposed to show 06:45

      Standard to reset cvrs then. Im not so sure if he lied or not the crew always maintained they didnt pull the slat breaker

    • @EpicJoshua314
      @EpicJoshua314 Před rokem

      Nope, they didn't lie, they told the truth. The investigators (and the episode) got it wrong: the pilots weren't messing around with the flaps and slats, they suffered a yaw damper-induced lower rudder hardover.

    This one always bothers me. For those not aware, this might be the single most badly researched episode of the show. They tell several blatant lies in order to present a theory of pilot action, and to lay a cloud over the pilots actions. But there most critical and compelling point is only true in the modern day. A Lie, the big one, that if the flight crew were still alive probably would have had the producers successfully sued for libel. "It isn't in any manual that they erase the CVR" WRONG!!! This was 1974. Not modern day 2023. In 1974 CVR's were a fairly new and extremely controversial thing. Airline budgets had been taking a hit in the 70's. And Middle Managers were using CVR's to essentially spy on Flight Crews in order to seek reasons to terminate the more expensive pilots. Yes it was a very dirty practice. And the Pilots were on the verge of striking over it. In order to counter this the Pilots UNION CONTRACTS MANDATED THAT THE CVR GETS ERASED WHEN THE PLANE MAKES IT TO THE GATE. Erasing the CVR was part of the normal shutdown procedure. In 1974 The CVR was only for the express purpose to determine what happened if the plane failed to safely complete its journey and end in tragedy. Otherwise it was dipping rather sharply into 4th and 5th amendment issues that the FAA had no good answer for. The Pilots were available for interview than the CVR was a legally questionable intrusion. It would be another 5 years before the Pilots Unions accepted that the CVR's were a beneficial safety element. And only after safeguards were put in place regarding the use of the data. Who could have access to it and under what circumstances? Workplace surveillance was still considered a questionable civil rights violation in the 70's. Not a normal business practice. ACI was looking at this incident through a modern filter.

      Is because of his skills that every person on that plan survived... Everyone can make a mistake, but few people can save a situation like that... Pathetic is that a person like you feels empowered to judge without even knowing...
