Disaster Breakdown
Description
Disaster Breakdown is an online education and informative series on Air and other accidents. We take a closer look at some of the most tragic events in aviation history.
DISCLAIMER
I am not a pilot. I do have some education in aviation, aerodynamics, and meteorology. However, my main background is in video and media production, that is what I went to school for. I have not and won't ever try to investigate or speculate about any incident. I collate sources that are (for the most part) publicly available, including official accident reports when writing my videos. Given the nature of these types of videos, there may come occasions where information could be false or misleading. I am but a one person team as I try to fact-check everything to the best of my ability. It is important that myself and viewers pick up on anything that could be wrong, and I will try and correct them as and when I can.
Thank you.

Just hearing that First Officer’s voice saying “Pete Sorry” knowing that by his own hand he may have doomed everyone is so heartbreaking..

This is why I'm a firm believer in "Touch the Ground, Stay On the Ground."

My family and I witnessed the entire sequence of events from the terminal observation deck that morning. From the approach, to the loss of the engine, to the plane falling out of the sky - and every horrifying step in between. The words you chose in your intro were apropos to put it mildly.

"Sorry! Sorry, Pete!" Even without the voice recording I can feel the devistation oozing from this :-(

That is the most thoughtful memorial for an aircraft crash I've ever seen, with the tiles arranged by family. It's beautiful.

"Pete, sorry." That's a phrase that pops into my head on occasion. It's such a meaningful two short words, said by a man who knew he'd made a mistake, and who obviously felt the weight of it in the moment, and deep regret for the error. Very sad.

The fact that the FO spent the last few minutes of his life blaming himself for what was truly just an honest and understandable mistake, makes it all the more tragic.

I flew DC-8’s series 50, 61, 62, 63, and 70’s series. I had a similar incident in Saudi Arabia while on final approach. I was performing first officer duties. I armed the spoilers but in no way did I touch the spoiler handle after arming. However, on this 50 series jet I caught out of the corner of my eye the spoiler handle starting to move back and forth on its own but only slightly. At 1500 feet AGL without any action on my part the handle moved aft.. The airplane fell out of the sky instantly I grabbed the handle and shoved it forward and down as quickly as is humanly possible. The airplane immediately flew again but it was a very scary experience. The aircraft was a Japan Airlines DC-8 that was bought by the company I was flying for. This story makes a lot of sense to me. Douglas, once they got into the jet business started building defective designs that only after a number of deadly accidents did they improve. Think DC-10 and MD-11 accident records. Both of those airplanes I have extensive captain experience in.

The no smoking cabin light that actually says like and subscribe was a cute idea. You've got my like for that one.

Between you and Mentour Aviation we have some of the best quality air crash documentaries ever made. Never thought Air Crash Investigation would be outdone by Youtube but you are officially better. You deserve millions of subs.

Thank you for this doc, great work as usual. I lost 3 friends on that flight, Mario, Joanne, Jeannine Chapdelaine. French Canadian friends of our family, they were loved and are not forgotten.
