Plane Crash Shows

[sparklemilhouse]

Does anybody else watch those plane crash documentary shows almost obsessively? They all go by different names (air emergency, mayday, there's another one too, I forgot) but they're all basically the same show. Msnbc used to show them all day long on Saturdays back in the day too, before 9/11.

The most wtf plane crash investigation show was the one where the Russian plane crashed and it was mainly because the pilot let his kid sit in the pilot seat while it was on autopilot. The kid accidentally set off the autopilot and nobody knew because it was a brand new plane that the pilots hadn't had full training on. Because Russia?

Those pilots were idiots for just letting the kid into the cockpit in the first place. Much less having him sit down in the pilot seat.

I personally like the episodes where the pilots actually manage to get their plane out of serious danger. Remember the episode where the engines were knocked out by volcanic Ash and they were able to maneuver the plane to where they were able to land safely?

Most plane crashes in Russia occur because of capitalism - Russian airline companies frequently cut back on such things as security in favour of profit. It can only be fixed by mass executions strict government control backed with harsh punishments for the culprits... which in practice means mass executions.
I should note that the Soviet Union had plenty of air crashes of its own.

The 9/11 channel is a permanent fixture on my television.

In the case of the plane crash, it was that the airline wasn't following airbus' training guidelines for the autopilot.

I was about to make a thread for this type of content, until I found this, so I guess I'll just necro.

Mentour Pilot is my favourite, typically 30 min to 1 hour long videos breaking down aircraft crashes, their causes and what was done about it afterwards. He uses what looks like flight sim gameplay to give some really good visual aid. This video is from an incident involving one of the first in flight entertainment systems in the 90s, when it was literally a Windows PC situated under every seat. The huge increase in power and a non-standard approach to installation resulted in an electrical fire that brought them down and killed everyone on board within 20 minutes of the initial sparks in the wiring above the cockpit.

He recently released a video on Kobe's helicopter which was very interesting.

Pilot debrief is also great, more of a casual approach to the video, just talking to the camera and presenting documents and things, but still very engaging. This video is something else. Hot girl bias is real, everyone involved believed she shouldn't be flying but somehow she was allowed to anyway. Insanity. He hit the nail on the head with saying she was more concerned about her image and social media than actually learning to fly.


The only thing is, at least with these 2, they tend not to include CVR recordings, only parts of transcripts when relevant. Maybe it's just good taste because it's way more real once you their voices, some might find it upsetting, but consider the subject matter of the video. Feels remiss that I must look them up separately every time.

That's good. If people wanna jerk off to gruesome endings they need to stick with true crime.
