It’s always a good sign when they interview a passenger or pilot.

26:56 - The vast majority of people who were killed on the Ethiopian flight that crashed into the water, died because they inflated their lifejackets BEFORE they exited the plane. They became trapped inside the plane as it sunk and they drowned. If - by some infinitesimal odds - you are ever in a crash into water, remember to wait until you are completely out of the plane before inflating your lifejacket.

I always thank my pilots when leaving the plane. Just yesterday I thanked my Jet Blue pilots when we landed at JFK for the smoothest landing. We practically moonwalked down the runway. Didn't even feel the touch down. It's a big deal to fly hundreds of souls in a giant piece of metal in the air and get them down safely. ❤️

i noticed that everything that led up to this incident was as a result of a fear of not being on schedule, or fear of upsetting ones superiors at work. truly, if there was less focus on fast consumerism and we treated each other more like human beings rather than machines, these types of oversights would happen far less often. :(

I've seen so much of these documentaries that I think I can fly a boeing 747.
-
The acting in most of these air disaster episodes are brilliant. Makes you feel like you're on the flight. Crazy.
-
Captain Piché is now retired and a TV channel here aired a 20 years special about him and this story last year. They made him go into a simulator at the airport and re-created the conditions of the flight. He was still able to land the plane ! Since the accident, all aspiring pilots are obligated to train in these simulators with difficult conditions as these. I like the man, he’s really humble. This incident made his old demons come back (ie alcohol) but he got through it !

This is one of my favourites. This glide holds the world record for the longest distance glided with an airliner, with the pilots and crew being calm and professional after disaster struck, and no deaths. I mean, the feat is truly impressive, even if it is quite avoidable (similarly: the Gimli glider). It was also lucky, that it was not a night landing, and weather was relatively clear.
-
Those two pilots wearing sunglasses and preparing for an emergency landing at the break of dawn looked absolutely dope and heroic at the same time Massive respect to the pilots who did not give up and stayed calm till the every end.
-
How did I become hooked on watching these sad crashes for the past 2 days? 💁
-
Interesting how two of the most famous commercial airliners that landed safely without engines and without loss of life were both piloted by Canadians, both have the same initials, the same first name and both born in the same province, Quebec, Robert Piche from Air Transit Flight 236 and Robert Pearson from Air Canada Flight 143. Very strange if you ask me but also very cool.

“Do i think he’s a hero? No. Do i think he’s a hell of a pilot? Yes.” Love his attitude and honesty lol
-
“If we land a plane with half a plane full of fuel we will be crucified.” This is exactly why some plane accidents happened because of pressure on pilots to keep the schedule. So many lives could be saved if more leeway is given to safety first.
-
You can tell the first officer was good in math
-
What they keep forgetting is that the Ethiopian airliner pilots were in a physical fight with highjackers during that attempted landing. Things could have possibly turned out differently, plus the engine hit a reef.
-
I've been binging these episodes for about a week and it's good to finally see one where everybody survived!
-
“Cost to much to delay,” how many times has this type of thinking cost in human misery.
-
The actors portraying the pilots HAVE to have some sort of cockpit experience. They are always so convincing.
-
"Air Transat blamed the captain and Co - Pilot for fuel leak!!!" .. Absolute madness Had the company followed all maintenance procedures,Fuel wouldn't have leaked Kudos to the duo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 The passengers owe you their lives
-
If you want to know, Robert Piché is 70 today and Dirk De Jager is about to be 60. They are both alive and still living happily.
