The Fatal Flaws That Cause Shocking Plane Crashes | Mayday: Science of Disaster | Wonder

Spread The Viralist



Some of the worst aviation disasters in history like Japan Airlines Flight 123 and Swissair Flight 111 were caused by fatal flaws that the pilots had no hope of overcoming to steer the plane to safety. Seemingly insignificant design features or shoddy repair work doomed these flights and their passengers from the start.

  1. Wonder all are videos soo good .amazing..I am looking always wonder chanal ..and I can't get away from..air cresh investigetion storys.plz upload more and this guy english so clear and I love to know who is that guy..??

  2. All the parts …and each of them are needed…even small ones
    This is why I don’t like flying on big jets lol they should really make a jet airliner with fewer parts and all that to reduce the risk of something going wrong

  3. I’d like to take this moment to thank all the actors who played the parts of crews and passengers for giving their lives so that we could watch realistic re-enactments of crashes. I hope their loved ones were well compensated. RIP actors and actresses. You’re all Oscar worthy.

  4. In 1968 I boarded a flight from Kansas City flying to Huntington, WV with a stop in Charlotte, NC. We took off from KC and flew into a storm with lots of bouncing around. The plane started coming apart on the inside. The panel separating the classes came loose and was flopping around, overhead storage items were coming out and flying around the cabin, and the plane was falling and gaining altitude rapidly. Finally, we got out of the dang weather and landed in Minneapolis, in the opposite direction than we were supposed to be going. At any rate the airline put us on another plane. We had just taken off when there was smoke in the cabin. We returned to the airport safely and were waiting to board another plane. However, while taxiing the nose wheel collapsed. Again, we passengers were offered another flight. I declined and asked for ground transportation, they accommodated my request and gave me a Greyhound bus ticket. OK, great, I got to the bus station, loaded on the bus and when it was backing out of its slot, we hit another bus. I finally made it to my home in West Virginia three days later. You might say this sounds fantastic, but it really happened, and this is not the worst commercial travel I ever had.
    I have since flown many, many miles and trust the airline industry. However, I know Aircraft mechanics are over worked and underpaid. Just think about ii; mechanic have your life in their hands, probably more so than the flight crew. Aircraft are so electronically controlled that they can, in themselves overcome a pilot's short comings. This is not the case with the mechanic. If the mechanic makes a mistake and the TI does not catch it the passenger pays the price either in terror or by death.

  5. Use oil quality not grese bec if u add grese always its become thicker and thicket thats why the flap jam & not move going back so they not control it,if you use grese be sure to clean tje area you pill grese is like starchbread if its stock so change oil or change grease to any area you put in..

  6. Going to the airport now is sus I'm going to looking at that plane like anything I see that doesn't look right I'm letting everyone know.

  7. Once I had this dream of my family going on a trip and we were up in the air a engine just blew and then I was on the side where I could see the engine on fire and then i told my mum and dad and brother and I screamed out there is a engine on fire! Then we just went down and then you know it was pretty much that

  8. Aircraft maker's certification of flammability: alcohol saturated cotton – pass.
    Airline industry response: this test is too stringent and costly, resulting in an unfair financial burden.

  9. It's high time they install a fail-safe system for every single passenger on these airplanes ✈. For instance, fighter pilots have it by using a parachute. When the shuttle program started, they also had parachutes at the very start but for some reason, they decided to take that brilliant system out (because of money and like they said, the shuttle was a very expensive machinery to fly. The safety regime made it so expensive) but when Challenger exploded, they really regretted that especially because this teacher was on board + it was broadcast live in many many countries. Why can't we put a fail-safe system on airplanes. Money 💰??? Totally unacceptable !!!

  10. Did he just say “it requires hundreds of hours of man power “ BUT IT ALL HAS TO GET DONE TONIGHT TO BE READY FOR TAKE OFF IN THE MORNING “ well if that’s not a problem in it’s self I don’t know what is

  11. It’s always so frustrating when these accidents are caused by some incredibly careless maintenance or cost cutting by the higher ups in the company

  12. Stopped watching when narrator said "Wright brother's historical first flight" and the footage is something else. Santos Dumont has footage and more than a couple of witnesses to the first historical flight.
