>over 100 people killed in plane crash because pilots literally stop flying the plane to check on a fricking lightbulb
How? Isn't the number one rule as a pilot to fricking pilot the plane?
 CRIME Shirt $21.68 |

The plane wants to fly. It'll take care of itself.
It didn't fly so good
Lol, I was thinking about posting this (though I was going to use “he” instead of “it”.)
Who wants to try next?
This. They should have performed the proper canticles to the Omnissiah in order to appease the plane's machine spirit
Obviously not
Dutch pilots should be officially prohibited from getting a license
no, as strange as it is:
Rule 1: check lightbulb
Rule 2: fly plane
its one of those things from the old days that just didnt get changed.
When you receive advanced training you're upgraded to
Rule 1: GAAN
Rule 2: Check Lightbulb
Rule 3: Fly plane
GAAN training at the KLM Pilot School of Tenerife
They were all macho, take charge old-school pilots. That particular crash changed the way airlines did things up in the wienerpit.
Do some people really need a manual to say not to have both pilots stop piloting the aircraft to change a light bulb?
unironically what was his fricking problem?
>WE GAAN
What did he mean by this?
Gewoon, WE GAAN
Pan AM shits had it coming
What's wrong with you people? Lives were lost. Human beings died. Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters...and you're making "funny" greentexts and memes? This isn't a joke. It's a tragedy.
No one even remembers Tenerife.
Walt?
Over six hundred people died! 167 compared to that is like, nothing!
>Pan Am shits died...and you're laughing?
t. tower
Pan AM staff survived, moronic KLM crew all died.
PAN AM ARE PUSSIES, they turned broad side to run away. Should have faced Zaten head on. Frick PAN AM
>
Unironically what did he think was going to happen?
The other plane should have seen him coming and gotten out of his way
Who is this guy and what did he do?
Ran a plane into an other plane and killed 500 including himself.
He went where no man has gaan before
WE GAAN
>What do you get when you cross a taxiing Pan AM flight WITH THE SUPERSTAR PILOT OF KLM AIRLINES THAT'S POSITIONED AND READ FOR TAKEOFF? ILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU GET! WE GAAN!
Holy based
What's the source of this image?
The original transcript isn’t as dramatic
That conversation is far scarier tho.
I was wondering if that image was from some actual conversation that referenced Tenerife.
you fricking moron
transcripts are kino
>opening wienerpit window midflight
What?
they are still on the runway revving up the engines just before takeoff
>guy getting sucked into the engine midflight
What?
they tell you not to open the door for a reason
Death of Superman.

>closes window before replying
Comedykino, it's like a Seinfeld gag
it needs to be in airplane 3
what flight
Poster boy pilot for whatever company
Doesn't have clearance to take off
says frick it we're going anyway (???? dunno what he thought would happen)
rams into a pan am plane that's taxiing
kill I think everyone onboard both planes because he couldn't wait ten fricking minutes
There were quite a few survivors on the Pan Am plane (including the wienerpit crew).
None on his own plane.
yeah something like 20% of the pan am shits lived
Gaan'd too hard.
HE'S A GAANER
why is everything around this event so fricking memeable?
It's one of those events that the more you dig into it the most insane it gets.
>pan am fricking shits!
I can't believe he yelled this before gunning it
What happened to him and his flight?
>to shreds, you say
Is there a more iconic face in the aviation industry?
More people know about Osama because of 9/11
Everyone knows about Osama because of 911.
Did he do it on purpose?
Being genuinely fricking insane but he had so much outward charisma and a winning smile that nobody noticed.
>be Russian pilot
>management wants you to take part in a 'bring your kids to work day'
>let your son take the controls
>forget that using the manual controls disables the autopilot
>75 people die
True, but on the reverse countless people are saved because the kid made that autopilot flaw very apparent. Those kids last few minutes were true hell though.
>Those kids last few minutes were true hell though.
Qrd? QRD??
Knowing you were going to die, and you were the one who caused it and also killed your family doing so.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593
Aeroflot 593. Pilot brought his kids to the wienerpit and let them play “pilot” thinking the controls wouldn’t override the autopilot.
> First, Yana took the pilot's left front seat. Kudrinsky adjusted the autopilot heading to give her the impression that she was turning the plane, though she actually had no control of the aircraft. Shortly thereafter, Eldar occupied the pilot's seat.Unlike his sister, Eldar applied enough force to the control column to contradict the autopilot for 30 seconds. This caused the flight computer to switch the plane's ailerons to manual control, while maintaining control over the other flight systems. Eldar was now in partial control of the aircraft. A silent indicator light came on to alert the pilots to this partial disengagement. The pilots, who had previously flown Soviet-designed planes that had audible warning signals, apparently failed to notice it.
Anyway, the pilots were confused long enough for the plane to enter an unrecoverable dive that caused them to crash into the side of a mountain.

Woop woop
I bet you also think pilots can't go to the toilet when the plane is in the air. You think they just let it all out all over the seat?
If it’s anything like sikhs in semis, there’s a hole in the seat so the shit just falls in the road.
Well that's probably a reason why there's two pilots.
It's not unreasonable to expect at least one of the pilots to stay in the wienerpit at all times is it?
Especially if the reason they have to leave their station is to change a bulb which requires one person. Not even a pilot necessarily
What was going through his head at this moment?
He's played a lot of GTA, if you're not in the vehicle when it hits someone you didn't technically kill them
>Thank God I ate that burrito for lunch
Not my problem
The pilots should be out of prison by now.

Over the following months and years, stories began circulating that employees of Eastern Air Lines, and numerous passengers, had reported sightings of the dead crew members, captain Robert Loft and second officer (flight engineer) Donald Repo, sitting on board other L-1011s (including, in particular, N318EA).[15][16][17]
These stories speculated that parts of the crashed aircraft were salvaged after the investigation and refitted into other L-1011s.[15][18] The reported hauntings were said to be seen only on the planes that used the spare parts.[15][16] Gossip regarding the sighting of the spirits of Don Repo and Bob Loft spread throughout Eastern Air Lines to the point where Eastern's management warned employees that they could face dismissal if caught spreading ghost stories.[16]
While Eastern Air Lines publicly denied their planes were haunted, they reportedly removed all the salvaged parts from their L-1011 fleet.[17] Over time, the reporting of ghost sightings stopped. An original floor board from Flight 401 remains in the archives at History Miami in South Florida.[19] Pieces of Flight 401's wreckage can also be found in Ed and Lorraine Warren's Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut.[20]
The story of the crash and its aftermath were documented in John G. Fuller's 1976 book The Ghost of Flight 401. Fuller recounts stories of paranormal events aboard other Eastern aircraft and the belief that these were caused by equipment salvaged from the wreckage of Flight 401.[21] A television film, also titled The Ghost of Flight 401, aired on NBC in February 1978. Based on Fuller's book, it focused on the ghost sightings surrounding the aftermath. On his 1979 album Three Hearts, musician Bob Welch also recorded a song titled "The Ghost of Flight 401".
As an airline mechanic, I ca safely say this is quite possible. We from on re-using parts from crashed planes for this very reason
Eastern Air Lines CEO (and former Apollo astronaut) Frank Borman called the ghost stories surrounding the crash "garbage".[22] Eastern considered suing for libel, based on assertions of a cover-up by Eastern executives, but Borman opted not to, feeling a lawsuit would merely provide more publicity for the book.[22] Loft's widow and children did sue Fuller, for infringement of Loft's right of publicity, for invasion of privacy, and for intentional infliction of emotional distress, but the lawsuit was dismissed and the dismissal upheld by the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal.[23]
According to Robert J. Serling's 1980 book From the Captain to the Colonel: An Informal History of Eastern Airlines, the claim that wreckage from Flight 401 was installed and later removed from other Eastern aircraft was false, and no Eastern employees had ever claimed to have seen or believed in the alleged ghost sightings. Skeptic Brian Dunning claims that the origin for the ghost sightings was a joke made by an Eastern Air Lines captain after an emergency landing in which he quipped that he "thought [Don] Repo's ghost was on the plane."[22][24]
>I think you're ready for your solo!
Hahahahahahahaha
Who does get the blame for this? The instructor, this guy, both?
The guy
He'd rather die and crash the plane rather than drive off the track into an open field.
Absolute fricking moron. This is your brain on flight sims
>tries to steer the plane like a car at the end

I hope he let traffic control that. WE GAAN
>Pierre Bonin's finest disciple
Did he died?
>slightly veering to the left
>hmm better go full throttle
wtf
He was trying to put it in park
>yaw? i'm not that tired, sorry
I don't understand. wtf happened? he was already down. there's no engine to run the wheels right? did he forget to turn off the propeller?
He pushed the throttle when he realized shit was going south so he could get airborne again.
Unfortunately, he'd lost too much speed and control by that point, so just added more energy into the equation.
Ah I kinda get it. he didn't wanna "rough" land into the fields so he wanted to go up again. I'm not into aviation but if ever I am I will prioritize my life over any hunk of metal and just rough land that shit in the grass.
it's a cessna it wouldn't have been that rough anyway the fields are there for that exact reason
Not working, the frick
Watch it on vlc then
Anons, I dropped my parents off at DIA a couple hours ago. Don't scare me.

Seriously the most fricked up crash. The mountains getting closer and closer, the other pilot getting more and more desperate, trying to break open the wienerpit with a fire axe. Hard to imagine the panic on that plane before the crash.
Itd be nice if Cinemaphile provided context sometimes instead of assuming we have God like omniscience.
German pilot who had depression and took antidepressants and decided to crash a plane into a french mountainside in March 2015, killing everyone on board. He blocked the door when his copilot went to take a piss, the guy was trying to break it down but failed
holy newbie
it's a shit test to get newbies to say "WHATCHA TALKIN ABOUT" like every fricking thread here has to pertain to them directly. have you seen anyone like that around recently?
Yep, absolutely. To all newhomosexuals, remember the unspoken rule; lurk for at least 2 years until you understand the lingo/references. I came here in 2012, and I didn't make my first post until 2015.
why did pippin do it bros
>not my problem
What the frick? Are the engines just so powerful they blast apart any landing strip they run over?
How is he going to land
not mine either
maybe the worthless c**t should have said something instead of just making a video for social media points
they are already in the air
the best option is to say nothing until you are almost at your destination
they can say something and force the idiot pilot to land the plane at the same airport and delay the flight by hours if not days or they can wait until preparations for scheduled landing begin so the pilots can land the plane same way they would have at departure airport
>they are already in the air
obviously she had noticed the fire since the start of take off since she was already recording dumbass but the worthless c**t it would just be amusing to have video of a wheel on fire so she didn't say anything in case someone actually put it out and she wouldn't get her precious social media points then the whole fricking wheel came off and now she's fricking dead... so worth it tho
the fire was there just for the few seconds during the decoupling and even if that wasnt the case

idk where i was going with this but maybe she knew if she didn't get footage of it, nobody would believe her. god knows people don't even trust footage unless someone with authority gives them permission to..
Is it Cafe bustelo coffee? My Publix has the two sizes of vacuum sealed bricks, the smaller one is cheaper price/ounce so you can buy two and still have it be cheaper than the bigger package
It literally, just happened.
Yeah she just happened to be recording the wheel for no reason. People just like to record video of wheels all the time. Not like there was something she noticed earlier that made her do it or anything. Nope definitely not.
It doesn't take long to start filming from a phone she was likely already using grandpa
So you're saying she did in fact see something then chose to record it with her phone instead of telling someone, got it. Glad we cleared that up.
How about you watch the audio version moron, you're such fricking dumbass

They should call it Air Kino
Lads I'm flying soon for the first time ever and I'm terrified
How do I beat this fear? It's haunting my dreams for frick sake.
You're being locked into a huge metal tube and Transportes thousands of meters up in the air, that's fricking terrifying and fear is a natural reaction to a fundamental menace like that.
Then again it's very safe, probably trillions of other people have done it before without making a big deal out of it and crying like little b***hes, the chance of anything happening is extremely low to the point of being almost non existent, and you won't be able to change anything about the situation anyways so just try to relax
>probably trillions of other people have done it before
Somewhat sceptical
unironically, xanax and a drink or two
before you know it a stewardess will be waking you up to deplane
I used to have no problem with flying until I came to these shitty threads now I have recurring nightmares
Have a couple of drinks in the departure lounge before the flight.
Most of it's automated, so you really only need to worry about performing the take-off and landing properly.
Get your co-pilot to do most of the work.
>Get your co-pilot to do most of the work.
Anon I'm not flying the plane I am merely one of many passengers.
heres a whitepill
plane accidents are the rarest of all transport accidents
But they are the most awful of all.

There was also that one story where the pilots overflew their destination by like 100 miles because they were playing world of warcraft.
how do you play wow on a plane?
I watched episodes of Mayday and Air Crash Disasters while on a trans-Atlantic flight
every plane crash that has happened makes it that much less likely for the next one to happen
Planes are extremely safe, don't worry.
> "hmm think ill watch S24E13 of mayday air crash investigation tonight"
considering how many flights per day there are and how the later seasons were just focusing on small Cessnas and random helicopters that number is pretty low
OH I'M GONNA SONIC BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
How
Nobody is really sure, the wreckage of the f-14 went into the ocean and the pilots have no idea what happened. Technicians speculated it may have been a fuel/air mixture issue that happened when the jet went super sonic and caused an explosion.
One of the comments says both pilots ejected before it popped.

This one will always be the scariest for me. As soon as they took off, they were doomed.
Forgot pic
Which flight?
all of them
Looks like Air France 447
Alaska Airlines Flight 261, it's in episode 1x5- Cutting Corners
It’s 261. IIRC there was a mechanic working for Alaska Airlines who warned about the jackscrew and other shady shit Alaska was doing with their maintenance (like saying it had been completed or started when it had never been done)
> The crash of AS261 became a part of the federal investigation against Alaska Airlines, because, in 1997, Liotine had recommended that the jackscrew and gimbal nut of the accident aircraft be replaced, but had been overruled by another supervisor.
Md-80 series planes were pure kino. They were like a mayday episode directors wet dream, over 1400 people have died in accidents in md-80 planes and damn near every single one is attributable to pilot error
Is that the one where the control mechanism for the horizontal stabiliser on the tail snapped? That must have been terrifying.
Yeah, they tried everything to save the plane. At one point they inverted it to try and gain back control.
All I learn from plane and boat crashes is that you should never board any kind of craft piloted by a foreigner unless you want to die now.
>it's a japanese decide to wait till the next day to look for survivors instead of letting the ready to go US search team look that night episode

Comfy YouTube
Fricking Bonin
>Shortly thereafter, the ground proximity warning system sounded an alarm, warning the crew about the aircraft's imminent crash with the ocean. In response, Bonin (without informing his colleagues) pulled his side-stick all the way back again
What was Bonin's major malfunction?
Inexperience and panic. Normally pilots are taught to push down if they’re stalling but he was panicking and went to the instinct of up = climb. Also, Airbus had dual input and the other pilots didn’t know what he was doing until he spoke up.
What did pulling the side stick do?
Pitch the nose up, which in a stall situation makes thing worse.
Pulled the nose of the plane up, causing it to lose speed and stall. The entire issue was that Bonin kept pulling up and causing the plane to stall even when his co-pilots were trying to gain speed to save the aircraft. By the time he spoke up, it was too late and he STILL went back to pulling up on the side stick. The worst part is that Bonin should not have been touching the stick at all, his co-pilot literally said “I have control.”
Forced the nose up while the aircraft was stalling
Basically the FO(?) hyperfocused on the fact that they were losing altitude and kept the stick back even though the reason they were losing altitude in the first place was because they were literally falling out of the air
lmfao if you wrote this for a movie you'd be called a moron and never work again
I feel relatively confident this dude wanted to crash the plane and thinking they might recover decided to act like it was a mistake.
At least the pilots are in control of their fate to some degree in a plane crash/accident. Nothing worse than being a passenger jammed in like sardines with 200 other screaming corpses
>8 years later

my wife said the correct word is flaccid not cucked
Yeah she would say that
> passengers sees a crack in the fuselage
I wonder what this means. Hairline fracture? Or like actual gap? They didn’t say anything and stayed onboard.
They had a better reconstruction in the episode but based upon their description it looked like the circle on the left here, what had happened was the glue bonding the plates together had failed due to so many compression/decompression cycles plus the hot salty air near the sea (this was a regular short range flight between Hawaiian islands so it had a huge number of takeoffs and landings), and when the glue failed the rivets were taking all the strain and had started buckling and left a crack between the plates.
Jesus seeing the stewardess get ripped out of the plane is like something out of a movie.
Movies usually have them go quick though, that red spray on the side is her blood from where her head was smashed in against the side of the plane
holy frick that's brutal

Why are all pilots pretty much shit except for American ones? I'm not trusting any fricking Dutch / Indian / Chinese / or especially Eastern European to fly my fricking plane. Jesus Christ just leave flying to those that invented it.
I think a significant amount of US commerical pilots are ex-Air Force so they have a different mindset about flying.
the brazilians?
You should see the new pilot requirements however. Essentially easing thr qualifications for the sake of diversity. Expect huge deaths once the older pilots have retired, it's essentially braindrain.
Born in time for the kino
>united introduces diversity quotas
I would trust some random bulgarian pilot over one from a country that hands out pity phds to minorities that cant even speak the language
Man the value of PHDs has dropped so dramatically. They hand those out to 22 year old girls now lmao. I'm seriously expected to believe a young woman is smart enough to earn a PHD? Hahaha what the frick
The "when everyones super...."line from incredibles has stuck with me for years now and its never been more apt

>The taxi driver who drove Captain Marsh to the airport told investigators that he seemed disoriented. At 04:50 local time a taxi dispatcher phoned JAL and warned of an intoxicated pilot. JAL responded by saying there seemed nothing unusual about the flight crew. Autopsies after the crash showed that the captain was heavily intoxicated, with the initial blood alcohol level 298 mg per 100 ml and a vitreous alcohol level of 310 mg per 100 ml taken twelve hours after the crash; the state of Alaska considers 100 mg per 100 ml legally unacceptable for driving. Of the thirteen people questioned who had spoken with Marsh before the flight, six stated he had been drinking or appeared to be drunk.
what flight was this?

Yes.
bros I don't get any flights anymore due to the fear of dying
why didn't they fire a grappling hook at it or something
Just Cause 2 hadn't been made yet
Jesus fricking Christ why didn't they shoot it down in a safe spot?
I would have just jumped in it and landed it safely
My hero
how does a plane fly itself from poland to belgium without anyone shooting it over a field? this was some elaborate joint assassination
I wonder what Wim knew?
They should already know how to safely destroy an airplane in flight without the wreckage doing any damage.
OH N-

>In command of the flight were Captain Mohammed Ali Khowyter, age 38; First Officer Sami Abdullah Hasanain, age 26; and Flight Engineer Bradley Curtis, age 42. Captain Khowyter had been a pilot for Saudia since 1965, but had only recently switched to flying L-1011s and had just 388 hours on the aircraft type. He also experienced difficulties during training. Instructors had at various points commented that Khowyter “Had difficulty when requested to vary from a set pattern,” was mentally “behind his aircraft,” was “slow to learn,” “needed more training than normally required,” “failed recurrent training,” and “had problems in upgrading [to another aircraft].” First Officer Hasanain had been flying for less than two years and had only 125 hours on the L-1011. In 1975, he had been dropped from Saudia’s pilot training program due to poor progress. In 1977 he was one of several previously dropped trainees who were reinstated by committee action, and he was finally hired in 1978. Flight Engineer Bradley Curtis, a US citizen, had worked for Saudia since 1974 but had only been certified on the L-1011 for three months and had 157 hours on the type. He suffered from dyslexia, a condition which made it difficult for him to read. In 1975 he failed out of captain training on the Boeing 737. In 1977 he managed to become a first officer on the 737 but was fired after failing a check ride in 1978. Apparently desperate, he offered to pay for his own training to become a flight engineer if Saudia would rehire him afterward. This offer was accepted and he was back with Saudia as a flight engineer in 1979. The total L-1011 line experience of the three members of the flight crew was only 670 hours and all three were below-average pilots, according to their training records.
This might sound silly, but I assume there is an authority that can stop a shitty pilot who got fired from being hired by some budget airline, right?
What’s this one?
Saudi’s 163
don't touch my hand homosexual
>private jet
yea na im good
imagine dying in an airplane crash after the pilot makes a perfect touchdown and has a full runway to slow down with flaps and airbrakes but he decides to take off at the very end with no room to spare
Yeah why?
Wtf?
Only solace might be not seeing it coming. So no being in the air as it goes down spending time knowing your gonna die and all the fear and terror of it surrounded by screaming people
I'm high, so did the brakes fail or did they just land at too high a rate of speed?
Undisciplined crew attempted a go-around instead of fully applying to the brakes and slammed into a lighting system.
Wasn't there one time a crash occurred due to a pilot trying to showboat? Tried a trick and funked up?
Might be thinking of the Costa concordia ship. The captain tried a tricky maneuver while drunk and high in the middle of the night
They fricked the breaking procedure, but they would have stopped the plane completely on the grass but the pilots decided to abort landing so they were actually doing a lift off at the end.
How incompetent must they have been.
Landing is almost entirely done automatically by the autopilot. They don't even have to do anything and they still managed to frick up
imagine being immortalised as a faceless rig in a flight crash simulation

>its a US missile destroyer locks its fire control radar onto an Iranian passenger jet episode
It sounded like a bright idea at the time
>its a plane goes down due to maintenance engineer missing a single loose nut episode
