Anyone else enjoy learning about plane crashes?

I wonder how long it takes to burn to death.
They probably used their oxygen masks too so they wont suffocate.

My favorite was the one that got shot down by Russian jets for flying into Russian airspace, back when the cold war was on. As I recall, the nav system or something malfunctioned so they thought they were flying just normal but actually went into Russian airspace, and despite attempts communication couldn't be made so eventually the Russians just shot it down.

Great show, here's a decent episode:

Jumbo Jets are very interesting,

I love watching these shows, was a while there I was watching a few episodes a day but the quality was always shit on youtube

just imagine you're on a nice country drive with your 10/10 hot gf who loves you very much and you see this as your hot loving gf screams OH MY FUCKING GOD

CAM-3 There's a fire?
CAM-4 Yeah
CAM-3 Well go put it out

I wonder if OSHA ever identified the airport and reprimanded them.

yeah i got moar typing them up now

They're pretty interesting. China Airlines Flight 006 is one that I find pretty fascinating.

Pretty impressive considering no one died and it was a 747.

thanks robot. very appreciated !

I learned about a lot of these crashes in a college course i took. Pretty crazy stuff. The Air France one is especially heartbreaking because based on the black box recordings it sounded like the captain figured out what was happening but by then it was too late and they were seconds from crashing. I think you can hear him say something like "Youve killed us!" Before the recording ends.

This happened at Bagram AFB in Afghanistan. My cousin was stationed there at the time.

IIRC correctly the mechanics had managed to wrongly eyeball the bolts multiple times, with the bolts getting further from the correct size each time.

I know someone who died in that first one you mentioned OP. they were on their way to their honeymoon

Good, dead normies are best normies.

>captain: "hey son come and sit in the captain's chair you can mess with the controls"
This might be one of the reasons why pilots are not allowed to let any passenger inside the cockpit during flight anymore, besides the terrorist concerns.

dam bro :(

flying is damn safe these days thanks to all the investigations at least

I got more greentexts

TWA Flight 800 (1996)
>747-100
>normal takeoff everything goes well
>fly for a few minutes
>plane suddenly explodes and rips apart

Imagine being in a descending plane with the pilot trying to breach open the cockpit door.

>Implying it wasn't the US Navy to blow it up

I remember a valuejet plane crash where a battery case caught fire in the cargo hold, which caused smoke to fill the cabin and the floor to start to melt, it crashed into the Everglades

Another one similar was an arrow air DC8 which caught fire when a fragment of metal caused a tire to catch on fire. The planes rear started giving out as bodies started falling through the flames as the plane descended. Eventually, the pilots released the landing gear giving the fire more oxygen to fuel it causing a massive fireball to engulf the plane

JAL123 is my personal plane crash topic

youtube.com/watch?v=Xfh9-ogUgSQ

Attached: JAL123.jpg (250x147, 15K)

According to the investigation that was either a missile or a wiring issue which cause the central fuel tank to explode

I am pretty sure that was a silk air flight where the captain committed suicide as a way to avoid debt

was already typing this up when you posted

Silk Air 175
>captain is a day trader
>didn't listen to Jow Forums and lost $1.2m in the stockmarket
>also has a 600k life insurance kicking in that very day

>captain makes some excuse to get FO out of the flight deck
>flicks off cockpit voice recorder
>soon as FO is out of the room, locks him out
>points plane at ground and guns engine
>FO presumably banging on the door trying to breach at this point
>plane disintegrates on impact

^ Also a good chance something similar happened to MH370. The transponder was disabled, something that had to be done deliberately. Likely candidates are hijack or intentional inputs by the pilots. But if it was hijacked, the pilots have plenty of ways to alter the outside world.

Moar greentexts?

WEITER WEITER INS VERDERBEN

JAL was fucked up yeah. Worst single plane accident in history.

You have to give credit to the pilots, they tried their absolute best to keep control right to the bitter end.

Cause was a tailstrike 7 years earlier that was improperly fixed (pic related). That led to a blowout, and the decompression disabled all hydraulics and the vertical stabilizer.

Most messed up part: US air force offered to send rescue choppers etc but Japan refused and told them to stand down.
From the wiki page:
>Medical staff later found bodies with injuries suggesting that individuals had survived the crash only to die from shock, exposure overnight in the mountains, or from injuries that, if tended to earlier, would not have been fatal.
>Off-duty flight attendant Yumi Ochiai, one of the four survivors out of 524 passengers and crew (...) while she could hear screaming and moaning from other survivors, these sounds gradually died away during the night.

Goddamn japanese and their pride, refusing American help at the cost of their own citizens lives.

forgot facsimile

I think there is a documentary or something but yeah that sums it up. Even though it is also likely that MH370 was an act of terror, another possible cause could have been a slow decompression combined with electrical malfunctions in the planes tracking systems, the plane would have been set back to Malaysia to try and land by as the oxygen left the cabin the crew would have been knocked unconscious leaving the plane to fly on the autopilot in the on direction, like this crash planecrashinfo.com/2005/2005-34.htm

Keep in mind I am probably wrong

seems like everyone involved was a dumbass

Could be brah. Hard to see how transponder was disabled though, some electrical problem could be the cause maybe.

Helios 522 is an interesting one.

I think you're onto something there

bumperino for a great threada

I was thinking about the germanwings crash.
Apparently some people inside recorded videos but none were released so far.
I think the co-pilots parents still have an open lawsuit trying to defend their son.
Killing yourself over money or stuff like that might be a reason, but in this case the official cause of the pilot suicide is supposed to be depression. Not sure if that's the case for the germanwings crash but I guess we will never find out.

Man this takes me back to my comfy days. I had school in the afternoon, so I always switched to NatGeo TV channel and watched Air Crash Investigations and Seconds to Disaster every day.
That was the shit. I miss those days

yeah bro seconds from disaster is goat
i should stream some, any1 interest?

Yes. It's so satisfying to know that travelling Chads are dying en masse

These kind of shows are 100x more interesting than regular shows desu. And the 2 I mentioned are just pure kino.
I just get a huge sense of nostalgia whenever I think about it. Really good times they were. Those channels sadly now transitioned to stupid shit like shows about truck drivers in canada or something equally stupid.

The pepe/wojak was made for the Germanwings one, but fits well with Silk Air 175 one too.

The racist white man refused to let him steal from his employer, so naturally he brought down a plane.

pilot was yawning the whole time iirc
exhaustion caused a few of these

Nignogs should not be allowed on planes.

this is why we will never colonize other planets.

some little prick who didn't think he was being paid enough to do something simple does a half assed job, everybody dies.

Most of the accidents due to poor maintenance either happened a long time ago before maintenance standards were as strict as they are now (due to these crashes) or they happen in the shithole countries that won't be taking humanity to space.
