- It’s April 13, 2010, and the captain of Cathay Pacific Flight 780 is at a loss: both his engines have stalled - so how was the plane still approaching the runway over 100 miles faster than normal?
From the Series: Air Disasters: Deadly Descent bitly.com/2Zzen5a - Zábava
Both Pilots remained calm and everyone on board survived. I would trust these Pilots any day with my family.
I’m guessing they were in a simulator since it obviously wasn’t in real time.
grandpa 1 this video is a re-enactment
Unfortunately there are many different types of emergencies in every flight even the best and most skilled pilots would find themselves hopeless at some point.
Charles Robinson, no matter what, keep flying the ✈️ plane.
I was told that by a very experienced pilot 👨✈️.
Serriouly some pilot deserves extra respect
Let me preface by saying I am a commercial pilot. More than ever these days, we need the flight engineers back. Planes are more complex and are asked to do more complex things than ever before. Having a third set of eyes and problem-solving skills is crucial. Thank you for your time.
the co.s wouldn't stand for it... too much cost for manpower. in case you haven't notice there's a short of manpower for aviation...
AsHalt I’ve heard can’t be done all my career. Offer to shut them down.... and watch how the directors get things done. ;)
Jamesonthemoon he’s right. The world is actually running out of pilots. This is the reason i’ve decided to pursue aviation. I don’t think i can handle so much competition in any other sector. Hopefully one day i can successfully become a captain of a 777
Hii I am an astronaut 🤣💯
Mike G but that’s for every job
you start with nothing everywhere, unless you’re starting a really successful business
The one who recreated this scene deserves an applause. The sweat on pilots' face really got us nervous watching this video.
True great acting
Yeah actually
once i thought thats John Cena acting as pilot- -
They couldve shut down the engine that is out of control
@@wilsonfong4937 where though I can’t see him
For those wondering, the issue was contaminated fuel which made engines fail (if I remember well).
how come the engines were perfectly fine the whole flight and only malfunctioned when they were gonna land?
@@dude99844 becasue the contaminated particles of the fuel obstructed a valve, but they didn’t affect its reliability until there were plenty of them, which made the engine not to work properly (since the valve could barely move)
@@dude99844 the video is heavily edited. They were far off from landing when the engines initially failed and were expecting to crash into the ocean
74%❤
@@dude99844 The Fuel Got Contaminated With Water and Absorbent Gel/Substance
These pilots acted brilliantly. I can't imagine having to think under that kind of duress.
Ever thought about Surgeons?
@@DrGrapher I am sure it's stressful for surgeons at times, but these pilots were in a life and death situation.
Himanshu Gupta Surgeons go into an operation with every detail planned out, situations like these have no warning and very little time to act appropriately
@@williamhobbs4202 It's not always same... There are cases where a surgeons has to decide on spot...as the pilots did.. With unexpected finds sometimes and its all what you think at that time
@@GoodWillPrevail 😂 So a surgeon operating doesn't has life and death situation
This is a perfect video to watch 10 mins before taking a plane
😁😐 You better not Watch it..☺️
LOL
Yes because you know that the pilotsalways have a solution Even when there are two engines not working. :)
WHAT ABOUT THE VIRUS. People traveling right now because they don’t have the patience to stay home is an issue.
Yeah right
Didn’t knew that John Cena is such a good captain!
Underrated comment.
I don't see John Cena i only see an empty seat?
Yeah dude! He does look like John Cena 😅. The pilot
Hahahahaahahhaa
I dont see John Cena. Sorry.
My dream is to become a pilot,and I just want to thank these pilots for trying their best and successfully landing that bird. You guys deserve a thank you.
You know it’s a skit right
I do know this is just acting. The story is real. Thanks for checking :)
@@Matchstick014 -You’ll definitely become a pilot Grace. We need more women in aviation, so that would be such an amazing accomplishment. Go for it! 💕
2:03 The screen: Overspeed
Pilot: It’s overspeed
Narrator: It’s an overspeed warning
hmm I wonder what the issue is.. could it be.. OvErSpEeD?
I know it's not appropriate but i think the engines are overspeed

I had no idea
They inform controll room ..it's rule.
Finally an ending that didn’t end in disaster 🤷♀️

Ryanair: Dude we need to recruit this guy that was amazing
Lmao
Lol😂
Bro not all Ryanair landing are hard
Stop being meme
Well done to the Pilot !!
Everyone on that plane needs to count their blessings because both of the engines failed at the same time. Soooooo freaking crazy!!!
@Georgia Gal from Wikipedia...
Analysis of the engines found that their fuel systems were contaminated with spherical particles. The Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department’s Accident Investigation Division concluded that the accident was caused by these spherical particles.[8] The contaminated fuel, which contained SAP (Super Absorbent Polymers) spheres, introduced in the fuel system when the aircraft was fueled at Surabaya subsequently caused the loss of thrust control on both engines of the aircraft during approach to Hong Kong. These SAP spheres were used in the filter monitors installed in a fuelling dispenser at Juanda Airport.
It's like having both parachutes fail in you.
@@TommyTom21 Where can we watch the full episode?
That’s rare, probably a fuel issue or computer glitch
@@TommyTom21 was that the one with spheres residue in the fuel? Lucky it didnt happen in the middle of the flight..
Anyone noticed that the captain looked like John Cena?
He looks like the lead singer from imagine dragons
I did 😬
He looks like Matt Damon!
You can't see him!
ErvinLim TV Khon cents is a dam pilot
If every plane had these 2 pilots at the helm, not panicking, reading the gages right, not getting lost in space in fogs etc etc Wow we passengers wld be very blessed!
At one time during the 80’s , I was a military personnel passenger in a C-130 transport aircraft over the sky of USA , one of the 4 turboprop engines was shut down for whatever reason . The other 3 engines were running perfectly and the flight was just as smooth as with all 4 engines running . During WW2, there’s a story of a B-17 got 3 of it’s engines shot and still be able to make it back to base with only one functional engine . I love those old fashioned aircraft with 4 engines.

This episode is my favourite out of all 23 seasons. I was on the edge of my seat through the entire duration of this ❤
Every second in aviation matters, appreciate u guys for your calm
big hugs for the pilots🤗🤗🤗🤗
And the people on the plane but whatever
@George Sturdy They saved all passengers on board. They did everything right.
This is why I personally thank the pilot as I'm stepping off the plane
George Sturdy - If possible, why not? Everyone deserves credit for a job well done at some time.
Sure doesn’t hurt to thank anyone, even if they are ‘just’ doing their job.
@George Sturdy just because that's their job then you think you have right to belittle it?
It was caused by contaminated fuel. They left out that all eight tires blew and were on fire. Both pilot and first officer received awards for their skill at landing the plane.
Thanks for the info.
Why did the engine speed up though, when reduced to idle?
This is a very important part that they left out!
@@236Mars the tainted fuel jammed the valve that controls fuel
@@sphansel3257
Oh I get it
@@wernerempire after he reduced the engine 1 in idle he tried to try to increase thrust on engine 1 multiple times and he got engine 1 to 74 percent power then he reduced the engine to idle once the engine did its job but the engine still remained at 74 percent power
this is the best video you guys ever created
Great mastering by the crew and despite those failures .... that was a lucky day.
These pilots need to be recognized for their efforts...... and please dont tell me "its their job"! Because it is the duty of the airline and plane manufacturers to see that the plane is always in Great Condition.... hats off to these brave men
They are. both pilots received Polaris Award in 2014, which the award is the highest decoration associated with civil aviation, awarded by the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) to airline crews in recognition for acts of exceptional airmanship, heroic action or a combination of these two attributes.
But......its their job
It’s their job tho
Let me put this in to pespective for all the ignorant people.
Youre a welder and fabricator....Would you use a grinder to cut a piece of metal knowing full well that the disc is cracked?
What if youre a carpenter.... would you use a circular saw to cut through the wood with absolute certainty that the screw holding the blade was loose?

After playing Microsoft flight simulator I can in fact confirm this is a scary situation.

@@robotportachiavi2507 I understand that, lol. It was meant to be taken as a joke.
@@Daniel-zk4cc Playing Microsoft flight simulator in a Holiday Inn Express IS NO JOKE, sir. Well done.
Every time me and family go on holiday we actually use this airline and it’s sooo good. So didn’t expect this would happen
With 36 years of airline flying and just under 18,000 hours now 20 years behind me, watching this video compelled me to flick through my logbook and note the special entries recorded. Amongst the hundreds of entries recorded, including an engine/turbine failure in a B737-200 just after lift-off, there are 8 special entries recorded over 8 days in May 2013. I was the Training Captain for the Captain of this flight when he commenced his initial First Officer training on the A330. Well done Malcolm!
Engines went out from fuel contaminated by sea water for those wondering
Thanks. I was hoping for an explanation in the video.
How did it get contaminated?
Loser X there was construction on fuel tanks underground and somehow salt water got into them

We were safe ..but Gosh was I afraid. Glad I overcame my fears and I did it for dad.he passed at 47yrs old.but it was the thing tht meant so much to him tht I go with him and fly.
This is a great video to watch when I’m going to Texas tomorrow for spring break
Pilots of this flight: Calm, professional
Every other bad crash: AHHHHHHHHHH
I’m sure you would Ahhhhhhhhh 10x harder than them if you were a pilot lmao
Twin Fun 🤣
this wasnt a crash tho
I watched one of these and now they are all popping up in my recommended
Because you watch Smithsonian videos it's the youtube algorithm
.... The captain are sweating as u can see. This isn't an issue, they are trying to figure out how they gonna overcome this horrific iccident! Bt they seem very calm and contained despite their emotions being ripped off.... Hats off for these dudes
It’s pretty terrifying to land hard and fast like that. I was on a plane that lost the use of its flaps. I also learned very quickly why they are needed!
Wow. That’s terrifying Julie. When did this happen? Was this recent?
@@sabrina.natalie it certainly was. Words you never want to hear from the cockpit, “we have a bit of an emergency,” were said. Funny back story was this was the first time I’ve flown alone without family. Had a few days off college and decided to visit my brother. Flight was fine and it was about 30 minutes before landing that we were told about the issue. I had a stuffed animal with me that was a gift to my niece but it became my stress ball. I squeezes the stuffing out of that thing!The flight attendants had everyone get in brace position and we landed extremely hard and fast. I had some bruises from the seatbelt but I was fine. We had to remain on the runway and wait for the fire crew to hose down the wheels and plane. It was still at risk of catching flames. In the end we all made it to the terminal. I was never happier to be on the ground in one piece. I called home to let them know we landed. When I told them that we had an emergency landing, they laughed. Clearly they thought I was joking but I about cried. They quickly realized that I was serious. I can’t imagine being on a plane that has an even more serious problem. What I went through was minor in comparison to some of the other stories.
Pilots are like doctors who saves everyone!! Massive respects 😇

Risma Manullang yep
nah, u need the gears to be retracted, the planes on fire and at least one of the engines to fall of to get hired
Dr. Ducky how about everything just fell off
@@itsdanguo0519 that could work too
LOL
And imagine if those pilots had to do another flight afterwards...
*"This is your captain speaking. I almost died on my last flight!"*
lmao can we get an oscar for that one
The second worst thing you can hear a pilot say: "I almost died on my last flight and my wife left me after I converted to Islam.
Have an enjoyable flight!"
God bless the engineers that built this and the hero pilots that fly these. I am scared f heights and flying. Always get nervous. But glad to know that these things are as resilient as they are.
This just shows how unlikely plane crashes are and it just relives me how experienced the pilots are.
Edit: 88 likes jeez
How is it unlikely
Scoop latte orange rose Lacey planes are the most safest way of travel
@@avalacey7550 its unlikely to the point that driving daily is deadlier than flying a plane daily
You are more likely to die in a car crash than a plane
@Warren Daysorry my bad thats what im trying to say but it cam out the other way
Give that man a huge raise. He just saved all those people's lives.
This is one of the coldest emergency landings ever,Salute to the pilots who saved peoples lives
Their bravery, courage and wisdom will inspire the future generation pilots 👍
My dad told me if I was a pilot, and I panicked, I would crash the plane since of how scared I am.
They should have explained to us what happened.
Why an engine put on idle was still running at 70% power.
Bits were missing off the quick document. Later the pilot managed to get engine one back to 74 % as they were going to water ditch. The fuel was contaminated with particles, jamming the fuel metering valve, when throttle was pulled back, it jammed indefinitely at that setting.
steve N watch the actual episode
@@workonesabs Given its an airbus I assumed an ECU had gone bad.
Fuel contamination...
go watch the full ep
2:25 they are landing with over 20000 kg of fuel on board?!
Epix :D it’s called a heavy landing, and yes, long haul flights use a lot of fuel
@@harryfluellen Yes I know what is a heavy landing. Another weird thing is that they dont burn any fuel during the video..
In the beginning of the video: FOB 20040 KG
In the end of the video: FOB 20040 KG 😁
Epix :D then maybe you should word your sentences better
@Xotic Yeah, these recreations are not really good always and some of the animations are horrible but at least you get the idea of what happened.
Thats wrong in this animation.
It’s always nice to see a plane land safely on this show.
I would congratulate the pilots for being prepared for complex problems and a hard impact. Well done smithsonian!
I’m so relieved that they lived to tell the story. Scary situation!

I agree! With the addition of more computers to planes, we may see the need for two engineers in the future.
There is no way two pilots can mechanically fly the plane while also be accepted to problem solve .
Thank you to all those pilots working so hard for us to travel safely. And won’t give up the plane until the last second. :)
2:58 ryanair pilots: thats a rlly smooth landing
edit:tysm for the likes!
czcams.com/video/IcHTgEfyUZM/video.html
There should be some g force sensor directly affecting the pilot's salary negatively if it reads uncomfortable levels in normal/optimal conditions. Same goes for bus/taxi drivers. I'm sure they would learn very quick.
they actually make butter landings sometimes
They could not make a smooth landing because the aircraft was too fast to land smoothly. When he set engine 1 to idle the power went down the 1st time. But when Captain Waters recovered engine 1. It went to 74% N1. They would not have made it when that happened. This is how the pilots made it to Hong Kong. When the Captain Waters set engine 1 to idle it got stuck at 74% N1. This was the result of the overspeed warning. When they tried to land the GPWS system sounded. It was because the aircraft flew at 240 knots while landing. 100 knots faster than normal.
Honestly when I landed in Derry airport which is small on a Ryanair flight it was so rough I bounced slightly! Ironically this was on Friday the 13th.
This is the best example of confidence...www...did u see their act despite two engine failure? This is what we need.... All the passengers should be grateful to the pilots who saved the lives...great salute ,,,,,,
I’m from Hong Kong (which is where Cathay Pacific originated) I send respect to the pilots who saved this plane.
"The're a minute from touchdown" *ALARM SOUND*
"Then, another alert" Well guess someone who got a very bad days.
No way I could be a pilot.
Hats off to them, they're a certain breed
pilots are trained very harshly so that when a real emergency unfolds they are prepared to deal with it no matter how tough
I love how the pilots, didn't panic at first. I would trust these pilots.
Your vidoes are amazing keep up the good work
I was on a flight once where the pilots warned us that we needed to brace for impact that it was going to be an emergency landing. I see everyone here holding hands and praying, I blasted my music. If I was going out it was going to be to Sabaton
You should have been praying through Jesus Christ.

That amount of pressure, and still get the plane down safe.
Great pilots.
That's sometimes computerization is too unreliable. We need our own abilities, good job, Captain
This was caused by salt water and i believe some kind of aircraft cleaner (i may be mistaken) getting into the fuel due to a broken filter, which created a clog in the engine and particularly the part that allowed for controlling it. They where very lucky that the issue presented itself when it did as the pilots where already near land and the end of the flight, if it had occurred earlier in the middle of the flight who knows if the engines would have lasted. Incredible luck as well as incredible skill by the pilots for landing the plane at that high speed.
This is an original incident, it happened on April 13, 2010. The destination of Surabaya to Hongkong with flight number CX780, due to Avtur
Everyone knows already
The smoke coming out from the engines looks legit.

I like such pilots who don't panic and stay calm in such situations.
But how did the passengers onboard got to know there is an engine failure?
Well engine failure happen often than you expect. But the pilots never tell you what has gone wrong.
What?!?! Obviously the pilots told the passengers they were having an emergency landing. What you think the recreation is the real thing or what?
@@samscrib8719 it happened IRL for ur kind information sir
@@samscrib8719 and also listen, I'm a son of a pilot, now who knows more???
Yes- SO TRUE , I was on a flight as a passenger in 2016 , and hadn't been on an aircraft since 2001, during the flight I noticed the left engine on our 777 we were on suddenly the left engine was shaking and extra vibration accompanied by more droning from that engine was happening- straight away I figured that the airplanes left engine had been shut down and restarted mid flight In a "windmilling"start as there must of been a malfunction/engine stall at some stage...
this channel is a never ending rabbit hole
Great job ❤❤
