It's worth a pat on the back though@@darkprose

well there was a time when Cockpit relationships were different. SOme cultures had more of an issue with this. So basically the Pilot is the SENIOR officer and everyone else typically "obey's their orders. They have seniority and "experience' and so younger/less experienced pilots may not speak up, BELIEVING that the senior officer KNOWS what they are doing. Yet sometimes they are like WHAT ARE THEY DOING? but don't speak up. This has caused accidents. Some cultures this is more ingrained and that caused an accident. Cause no one spoke up. So because of that issue all training across the world is supposed to train that out of them. Cockpit communication is a serious issue and if something is amiss. folks should be able to speak up and question it @@darkprose

​​@@nukaghoulaOfc a women commented this 💀 I bet ur the kinda person who says men have more rights than women 😂😂

As someone in a flight school I can say that there's a ton of training but there are still lots of tasks to juggle and plenty of possibilities of mistakes. That being said there are tons of rules and procedures (most written in blood) that create what we call the "swiss cheese model". The first accident discussed could've been prevented by mandatory rest, taxiway lights are a different color than runway lights (pilots should've noticed), taxi, beacon, and landing lights were on (on the aircraft holding short), an ILS approach should've been programmed, there was a NOTAM for a closed runway(notams suck though, even the FAA president said nobody reads them, there are far too many),etc etc. Luckily the united pilot saw how far off centerline the pilot was and radioed ATC.

It's experience, training and knowledge of their planes. The FedEx was likely sure he'd be able to pull up in time, and was aware of him not moving for a while, so likely had pre-planned an emergency go around. Their actions and skill is amazing, but generally planes follow very straight lines which takes away a lot of guesswork then you'd have say swerving out the way of multiple cars, where they are likely to panic and change direction without warning. Not to say it's not impressive in the slightest, but that knowledge definitely helps them avoid potential issues.

@@largosgaming since you have knowledge on this, can you explain to me why tf at 15:49 FedEx, upon aborting the landing and seeing the Southwest at V1 speed didn’t just take a sharp turn to get tf away from the Southwest?

Humans are fallible and fatigue and complacency will always result in mistakes. I don’t blame the Air Canada pilot at all…..poor soul likely felt very ill for days after. There should’ve been 2 controllers on duty and there should never be visuals at night into such a large airport, even if it’s not massively busy. Think about when you’ve skidded on black ice and nearly crashed your car into oncoming traffic - the adrenaline punch after that. The poor AC pilot must’ve been in a Hell of a state after. Accidents will always happen where humans are involved. At least this mishap did not result in any deaths and protocols were changed at SFO. Flying is still safe but airlines need to make sure their crews are given adequate rest periods - I used to be a nurse and doing mixed nigh/day shifts really messes with your circadian rhythm. That and the adrenaline that’s built up after flying a tin can full of living souls for days at a time must be a nightmare to wind down from…..airlines cut costs though and don’t allow enough rest periods for pilots and as a result, fatigue and stress is going to have an effect.

@MJ true this situation was just a series of unfortunate events, but gladly it didn't result in any bodily harm. Hopefully it will serve as lesson to all.

Confirmation bias is a scary thing in aviation. Happens to even the most experienced pilots.

I admire in this industry that admitting mistakes and own limitations is one of the most important qualities to become an excellent pilot.

Hits you right in the brainface

As a layperson, this makes me feel like a lot of procedures would be developed with logical and clear-headed people in mind, while a human being very often is much less logical or clear-headed than one would assume of themselves. And that this would be the reason for a lot of hazardous situations - procedures assuming that pilots always behave logically and won't do stupid mistakes, procedures whose safety can easily be accidentally broken by someone doing something very stupid as all of us mere mortals sometimes do. I'm regarded as a very smart and reasonable person myself, and yet there have been so many times that I've narrowly missed dying because of my own mistake that in retrospect seems idiotic. If you know about electricity and your friend shows you his spark machine that has 20 kilovolts at the end of a tree branch, it should be crystal clear that you will not bow close to the branch to extinguish it if it catches fire from the arc. Had I went just a little closer, I would've died right there. Design operational protocols with morons in mind, lives cannot depend on assumptions that people behave and decide like reasonable adults and have good situational awareness everywhere, everytime.

@@MrOspi My favorite "old saying" is..."There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots." I'm proud to say I'm an old pilot.

Right? I loved the previous one too

Can't forget a 74gear episode, controller becomes unconscious (I don't remember what it was, a stroke, something medical). She's alone in the tower. The pilots realize there's no controller and talk to each other, cooperating. They try calling tower, no answer. Call the airport, no response. Finally 2 pilots call their companies and ask them to call the airport. After that, someone runs to the tower, finds the controller out, calls for an ambulance, gets another controller and landings start. The controller had a medical problem which was successfully treated, but said she was "too ashamed" to return to work. She felt the responsibility, and thought nothing should have stopped her. Not a very good report on the airport, no one answering calls! But the pilots were on it.

Neo is such a good storyteller and the 3d modelling is great coupled with the real traffic control comms he dug out for this it was truly a masterpiece

Everyone always acts like these and other videos are "incredible" but yet tv and movies have been doing equal quality stuff for decades. It's great that he can do it, but it's not rocket science. Edit well and create good 3d models using existing software. Could most of us do it? no. but could most of us make any tv show? of course not. yet we don't sit back in awe at those like some people do for good UKposts videos. I think it's because people don't EXPECT the high production value from a YT video, but it's shockingly common these days and dare I say it's expected with content like this. If you didn't provide that level of quality, nobody would watch the videos. So great quality, but not "honestly incredible", unless you are selling the YT community short by expecting low production values.

Which means that the rules allowing another plane to use the same lane before it’s in the air is super stupid.

@@kantai3309 No they aren’t, they do it all the time with no problem

@@aristarchinski272 because there’s a 100% guarantee that a plane takes off with no problems, right?

Normally the second plane is informed to go around way earlier. Like way earlier if something is wrong. But yes, I also don't like these procedures. They should not be allowed to clear for landing while another one is cleared for takeoff.

That’s what I’m saying! The video made it seem like having the SW plane go first while warning that there’s another plane coming is fairly routine. that warning should imply to SW, to hurry up!! It literally takes 15s to be in the air, and they stayed there for minutes! It was totally SW’s fault for stalling in that scenario. Also the one at JFK NYC, the pilot didn’t follow directions!! You have to identify the correct issue to identify the correct solution. Sure there are extraneous circumstances, but these pilots need to be well rested. They need to make those radios more clear, speak slower idk. I’m not a pilot but I can see myself missing words cuz they talk so quiet, fast, and the sound isn’t clear. There needs to be better coordination and organization within these control towers. This plus the Boeing incidents lately.. are scary for a layperson like me who happens to travel for work. Also, wild but unsurprising fact, Boeing just murdered the whistleblower who uncovered how terrible the quality control really is at Boeing. He was shot in the head with a note, but he told his family friend not to believe any claims of suicide. He was scared for his life and companies can just murder people these days without getting in trouble so yeah… Boeing isn’t improving anytime soon.

It takes being cold bloded but you learn it throughout your training. Screaming and getting anxious wont solve anything.

But that pilot used non-standard phraseology. Big luck that tower did understand it right and commanded "go around" right away. Also one of planes did turn on his headlights. In similar case, pilot on the ground directly commanded to incoming pilot "traffic or runway, go around, , go around". Which was more reliable, but here, they could be on ground frequency.

One thing that stuck me as possibly off in terminology was the reference to "general aviation" at 5:03. When I was in the aviation business (admittedly 30+ years ago) "general aviation" referred to small aircraft carrying small numbers of passengers. Many of these aircraft were privately owned single or twin piston engine. "Commercial aviation" referred to large aircraft, usually turbine powered, operated by airlines with large fleets of aircraft operating a scheduled service for paying passengers. All of the aircraft involved in the SFO incident I would have classed as "commercial aviation" aircraft. Has the meaning of these words changed in the last 30 years?

Pathetic that it seems any & every social media platform is swayed in the favor of snowflakes & pansies now a days , censorship has gone so far overboard, even in games where one expects to see violence

99% of the time, a go around is thanks to a “bad angle.” I understand your fear from seeing the other plane, though! Most likely, if you saw it during the go-around, it was not on the same runway you were about to land on. I don’t have any context for your flight though, so I can’t say for sure.

Probably just a go around for an unrelated reason. The plane you saw was most likely on a taxiway waiting to use that runway.

Most airports have adjacent taxiways to the runway. If you look out the window and looked down it was probably an aircraft on the taxiway because it is hard to look straight down from a plane

when I say chills I mean full body chills, body physically shakes whilst you're close to crying chills.

I agree these certainly are quite unnerving scenarios, although I would describe the responses as 'startled/urgent' more than 'panicked'. While there is an emotional modulation added to the urgency of some messages, they remained clear, succinct and appropriate. Typically a panicked response, even if only momentarily, is initially disordered and animated, a consequence of elevated emotional hijack that overwhelms the individual. The result is an excitable unclear and disordered response that may be interpreted as garbled or gibberish until they are able collect themselves and regain control to deliver a reordered reprioritised message. The tone and dialogue from all crew and ATC in the three incidents featured were succinct, clear and urgent when appropriate - as would be expected in aviation. A focus of our training (crew) is to eliminate any tendency towards panic or appearing as such, it is 'trained out' of us through repeated exposure to high threat typical and atypical emergencies (non-normal scenarios), usually at the most inopportune times, to the degree such events almost become routine. I suspect the same would be true for ATC training given their typically masterful and measured reactions/instructions. Consequently the response is always maintaining a clear focus and control in the most threatening of scenarios by calling upon and executing ‘memory items' when only seconds exist to assess and make the best decision with the limited options available, if and when more time is available the next response is referral to the appropriate QRH (Quick Ref) checklist. Everything is standardised and prioritised with Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. ATC is more Identify, Advise, Expedite. Occasionally a degree of stress may be heard in an individual’s voice, typically from being startled by the occurrence of a severe threat or to urge an immediate action, and sadly when when time and altitude have been exhausted in an unrecovered/unresolved event. That’s my 5 cents worth ;) Please note I am not in any way criticising or challenging your worthy opinion nor being pedantic about semantics. It is purely how I perceived and interpreted the featured incidents and responses/actions executed in the time they had available. Cheers.

i completely disagree that there is no thought behind those words- there are thousands of hours of thought behind those words. between the training of each individual at the scene, to the development of airline safety procedures down to the exact words used to communicate to each other, the reason disaster was avoided because thought was put into it. panic would have been just saying "stop!" or something like that, which people used to do before structured flight control communications and sterile cockpits

@@amelade yeah but that training results in less word to word thinking and more instinctive reaction.

yeah that audio got me shaking some

:-*

A record number, at that.

The scariest part to think about is that had the pilot spoken up a few seconds later, this video would be replacing the Tenerife Disaster.

Since this accident (if i remember correctly) does have a NTSB report, that already happened. Now, if you mean the number of fatalities, then....😢

They had to hear and feel it wouldn't they?

He's probably aware he nearly caused a fatal accident and that his career is in very real jeopardy, no great surprise he's shaken

@@mattd6085 The controller caused nothing. He followed procedure that was already known to be effective, most of the blame should be put on the Southwest 737 taking too long to initiate their takeoff

@@mattd6085 The investigation is ongoing but I would be surprised if they take disciplinary action against the tower. Both ATC and Southwest bear some responsibility but giving a takeoff clearance when another plane is on a 3mi final is not unusual, even in low visibility, and it is the pilot's job to comply with ATC instructions on takeoff (if he was unable to perform an expedited takeoff as requested, he could have just said "unable" and the controller would understand and resequence him behind the FedEx)

he barely had any emotions at all in his voice lol. I think you're hearing what you want to hear. there was hardly any emotion between any of the parties involved, as it should be.

@@vitormaroso4064 Just a note, NTSB investigations not really investigate to find blame like road traffic accident investigations, instead they find out the mechanisms that allowed this to happen in the first place. Find fault in the system not the people. Quite an admirable thing tbh and certainly should be the case when although it has come very close, no harm was done and no monetary compensation has to be dealt out. My guess as to the recommendations that will be dealt out as a result of that incident is probably either a recommendation to cease takeoff clearances when a approaching aircraft is less than x miles away and/or setting a time limit for expedited takeoffs like those that are performed when another aircraft is on approach. Maybe something related to low visibility approaches too. Anyway, this is the best kind of incident to have. One where no lives are lost but you learn just as much about the system as if lives were lost.

Sounds like you don't really understand how much of the work gets handled by technology and near automated procedures.

no you wouldn’t. Both Pilots and ATC are highly trained individuals that do not deal with danger in that manner. The risk is accepted and the positives outweigh the negatives, similar to the attitude of astronauts.

I always hear non pilots say "training". Wtf do you people mean when you say "training" For pilots? How do you think people become pilots for airlines? And what do you mean by training? Training for what? What should pilots be TRAINED to do? It's something passengers use yet have no true comprehension of what they mean or are referring to.. But I'll tell you what. These pilots weren't stupid. Either they were fatigued.. You know what, it's most likely both were fatigued. If just one of them wasn't, one would catch the other. Both were fatigued and just wanted to fkn land. As a pilot it's astonishing they realized last minute. The thing is the runway they were cleared on was to the right of another similar runway starting from the same line the runway they were landing on. So when they were to the right of the actual runway they thought it was the left and just confirmation biased themselves, because it's easier to do that than to realize you made a massive fuk up and now have to go around and stay in the air longer

It was the control tower's fault for wanting to make a flight take off while the FedEx was going to land with such a short distance and being so cloudy!!!

As I understand it from another video (perhaps Mentour Pilot's?) most likely the lights of the planes lined up together in a straight line looked like they were runway lights. Apparently the pilots of the Air Canada flight didn't know there had been planes there even after they had gone around.

One factor is that the Air Canada pilots were up for 19 hours without rest. The fatigue contributed to them mixing up the runway and the taxiway

SFO is a famously difficult airport to land at thanks to the fact that it’s surrounded by mountains and water, because you need to land on a pier that juts out into the bay, and because the two main runways are closer together than most other American airports allow. It also tends to get rather windy. It was a pretty basic mistake to make, but SFO is a pretty unique case as well.

@@dk39ab I think it was his video as well. He mentioned (I think) confirmation bias. I.e., even though things might have looked off, they might have seen something that made it look like the taxiway was the runway and decided that it was the runway even if all evidence and logic said that they'd made a mistake. One example (hoping I'm getting it right) might be taking a wrong turn and thinking you're on road A going direction B but you aren't. Even if things look off or completely wrong and a part of you is saying something's not right, you might (for example) see a sign that road A has and think that maybe you're just remembering that road wrong or something like that. I.e., use all sorts of explanations to fit within the narrative that you are where you think you are or at are least headed in the right direction. Once you realize that you aren't and figure out where you really are, you probably will feel better knowing you're not crazy and things will start making a lot more sense.

Pilot Here, not all runways have a full lighting system. For example 2 weeks ago I flew to Toulouse and there they have 2 paralel runways. we were cleared for 32R which only had edge lights, whereas 32L has your more typical light arrangement with centerline lights as well. Seeing as taxiways can also have only edge lights with no centerline it kinda looked like we were landing on a taxiway next to the runway, even thought it was the runway 32R. I guess fatigue + their expectation of 2 runways + as another commenter stated the planes lined up could look like touchdown zone lights + different runway light configurations existing all contributed to the incident (plus loads of other factors listed in the video and more)

Canadas pilots also get payed a lot less than pilots in America

They also don't have to pay any overtime even if you work a 16-hour shift due to an averaging rule. Also, you don't always get stat pay for working stat. On top of that, ramp workers in Canada makes about half as much as our American counterpart.

That Fedex one could have easily been avoided by not permitting the Southwest plane on the runway when there was a plane with landing clearance, or by giving the Fedex plane an expectation of late clearance. There were two planes cleared to use the runway at the same time, which should never happen.

@@alexanderpas The narrator explained that with the distance they had, Southwest should've been able to do a speedy take-off and avoid Fedex.
