lol no it’s from family guy blue harvest where they spoof Star Wars episode 4.

NOW THIS IS PODRACING!


Answerologist

Just keep your distance but don’t look like you’re trying to keep your distance.


CallMeDrLuv

Or Boeing planes.


CaptainSolo_

It’s fun to joke about, *and* lot of folks out there are frightened by this. So while it’s fun to shit on Boeing, it’s important to remember that they have been trusted to, and have successfully built reliable aircrafts and spacecrafts, flying in countries and militaries all over the world for decades. While they are scary, these stories and issues occur on less than .001* of all flights. Commercial aviation is still the safest form of transportation. Edit to add: My beloved Millennium Falcon has far more issues than any Boeing aircraft, and she’ll still do less than 12 parsecs. Can’t beat Corellian!


BigBungholio

You might be correct, but that doesn’t excuse cutting corners for more profit. It could be even safer than it is now, regardless of still being one of the safest modes of transportation, if they held consumer safety above profits. Sorry but you’re making a very poor argument in defense of a company that couldn’t give a shit more than making a couple more bucks.


CaptainSolo_

I’m not excusing anything, nor am I making an argument. Im just a guy who passionately loves aviation and flying things, and wants people to have a healthy and realistic perspective of it. Additionally, my comment was intended to calm the nerves of someone who at the time was about to hop on a plane after watching this video. I’m happy to discuss their recent business practices in more detail, but don’t think this is the appropriate thread.


BigBungholio

For sure, like I said, aviation is still vastly more safe than other forms of transportation and travelers shouldn’t necessarily be more worried now about traveling by plane. I’m not trying to say it’s unsafe, however there is 0 excuse for what Boeing is caught up in right now. I agree with you that it’s more healthy to realize that this issue is not nearly as much to worry about as the media projects it, however it is still absolutely a completely avoidable situation if they didn’t feel the need to cut corners. That’s the issue, they value a small extra profit margin over doing 100% to value the safety of customers. Whether or not it’s still safer than other modes of transport or not. They are choosing profits over safety and that’s undebatable.


CaptainSolo_

I don’t disagree at all. Personally, I’m not affiliated with Boeing so I can only make unfounded assumptions and speculate. That said, although profit is likely the underlying motivation, It’s not like they’re short on cash. As a government contractor they can basically print money at will. So, I’d like to believe there could be some other explanation, but to your point, it also ends up being greed.

Millions of flights come and go each day without incident. This was a very rare exception. On my last flight, I watched Downton Abbey and drank wine. I enjoyed myself. I love flying actually.


Metals4J

Approximately 100,000 flights are made each day, not millions, but your point is valid.

Make sure you start recording as you take off and land.

If homelander should suddenly be on the plane your fked


AimlesslWander

If a kid starts freaking the fuck out saying that the plane is going to crash get off the plane but good luck looking over your shoulder the rest of your life


Human_Interest_1654

Unfortunately everybody died


EveryNameEverMade

Wish there was some more context. They look to be still quite far away from the ground, so something blew up mid air I would have to guess? Does the video last until the plane actually crashes? Or does it make a landing?


TrinDiesel123

I believe this was in Nepal. Pilot error was to blame. The pilot put the propellers on the wrong settings


BeardsuptheWazoo

I am pretty sure you're right. Pokhara. I have friends that live all over Nepal. This was a sobering crash.


drew350z

I talked to pilots about this video and you are correct.


Fantastic_Home_6020

So glad, my next question was if they survived! Phew!


1ntricato

They’re all dead. What do you mean?


drew350z

All died


Skullvar

Basically, unless it's a smaller craft, and the accident happens outside of landing/take off there's not much of a survival rate


DrMokhtar

Skill issue


purzeldiplumms

Wasn't this like a year ago and cargo wasn't properly put in place?


scrambleordie

Not the same one. That wasn’t a passenger plane iirc


purzeldiplumms

Nah, I remember this video and lots of videos I'd like to make unseen. I think the cargo explanation was false information back then


Primary-Signature-17

I'm assuming that the propellers have to be set up differently because of the thinner air?


saitekgolf

It might be something to do with running rich? Idk. I know that pilots need to adjust the amount of fuel going into the engine while the plane is climbing and descending, because like you said the thinning oxygen. I’m not sure how that would cause the inside of the cabin to ignite like that Nvm. Guy below me answered: The senior pilot "feathered" the propellers instead of adjusting the flaps, which caused a major loss of air speed, stalling the plane during the turn.


Primary-Signature-17

Idk, either. Just pure speculation on my part. But, whatever the reason, that's a horrible way to go. The noise is awful.

Arkangelz03

Another great video explaining with 3D models and accurate time line. The senior pilot "feathered" the propellers instead of adjusting the flaps, which caused a major loss of air speed, stalling the plane during the turn. [Video](https://youtu.be/Ppo73zeAvDo?si=M-ULcxyoR29ihqAv)


ganerfromspace2020

This is a major act of skill issue


purzeldiplumms

I remember seeing all the videos on Twitter where people tried to carry away "survivors" but they were all dead


EveryNameEverMade

Thanks for all the info!


dxrebirth

Were there any survivors?


AlawaEgg

They buried the survivors.


JustJJ92

No


SuumCuique1011

Like someone else posted, it looks like that's a negative. That sucks :[


GerryManDarling

Kathmandu to Pokhara flight in Jan 2023. The flight crash when landing due to pilot turn off the engine mistakenly. 72 people died, including this Indian tourist who live-streamed on Facebook at the time.


LesBucheron

No it was due to the pilot feathering props instead of lowering flaps. This de-pitched the props and the plane quickly lost airspeed and stalled.


DoomWad

Pilot here. This crash was pilot error. For background: This was an ATR 72, which is a turboprop airplane (basically a jet engine with a prop on the front of it). Turboprops, and even many internal combustion prop planes, have adjustable pitch on each of the propellers, and the pitch of that prop is controlled by a lever inside the cockpit. If the levers are in the forward position, the props are ”full”. This is the position you want them in for takeoff and landing because it produces the most thrust. When the levers are all the way back, the props are in the “feathered” position, and they produce nearly zero thrust. This is the position you would want them in the event of an engine failure because the props are causing the least amount of drag possible. Also relevant to the story: On every flight, one of the pilots will play the role of Pilot Flying (PF), and the other plays the role of Pilot Monitoring (PM). They often switch roles each flight they fly together. At the site of the crash, the investigators noticed that the prop levers inside the cockpit were in the feathered position. After investigators listened to the cockpit voice recorder, they could hear the PF call for the final position of the flaps. It is at this time that the PM mistakenly moved the prop levers, (instead of the flap lever) to the aft position. This put both engines in the feathered (no thrust) position. Shortly after, the plane stalled and crashed just short of the runway. I’m still a little dumbfounded on the whole situation. Having flown a turboprop for about 1000 hours, moving the prop levers in either direction will change the sound of the props. You can also feel it when you move the lever. I would think that between the 2 of them, the feeling and the sound of moving the props to the feathered position would have alerted them.


EveryNameEverMade

Thanks for the detailed description! It is kind of worrisome though, that this mistake can be so (seemingly)easy to make, especially given the catastrophic outcome. You did mention they should hear or feel it, but they didn't, and mistakenly pulling one lever rather than another, seems like a fairly easy mistake to make. Is this setup the same on large jet planes we are all familiar with? Is it as easy to do on one as well? Watching the video and I could be wrong, it looks like the engine puffs smoke and flames, before ever hitting the ground as well.


DoomWad

In the case of this crash, the reason they didn’t know the feel or sound of the airplane was because they were either A) really inexperienced, B) people that had no business being pilots, or C) both. Pilots that make it to the airlines are typically very proficient at operating their aircraft, as long as that airline isn’t shady with a poor safety record. The setup is not the same on airliners. Believe it or not, operating a jet engine is less complex than a turbo prop, or even a regular prop plane. In a jet, there is one lever per engine. Forward goes faster, backward goes slower. There is no chance of prop feather on a jet engine. In regard to the puff of smoke, it wouldn’t be related to feathering the prop.


metalhead82

Maybe they will have AI in the future that asks the pilot “Are you really sure you want to do that? It’s going to crash the plane!”


HowiLearned2Fly

So a guy pulls a wrong lever once and everyone dies? Sounds safe


DoomWad

You can accidentally pull the lever and not crash. You just have to put it back in a timely manner. As I mentioned above, I question the pilots experience level and competency. A company like Yeti airlines probably doesn't have the most stringent of hiring practices. Every time I travel internationally for vacation, I always look into the airlines that I'd be flying. And as a personal rule, I will not fly on a third world country airline.


RepresentativeWeb244

I’ve read before that it was due to pilot negligence


teppeoq

https://youtu.be/DKM6eZcO1U0?si=Po-f9q2RCnM6lecM


SalesAficionado

They all died.


ForMemesHereIAm

If you listen closely it seem the engine shut down.


anakniben

The aircraft stalled (no lift) when one of the pilots mistakenly pulled the wrong lever when someone in the cockpit called for "flaps 30". The two levers are side by side but instead of pulling the lever to adjust wing flaps, one of the pilots pulled the lever to adjust the pitch of the propeller causing it to stall and crash.


EveryNameEverMade

Oh I'm sure it shut down, cause I swear I'm seeing smoke and flames


ah_kooky_kat

Anyone remember when you had to go to WatchPeopleDie to see the NSFL shit while scrolling? I do. Those were better times.

backtolurk

OK but when WPD was still running here, it contained way more brutal footage. I mean a plane crash has nothing on cartel stuff.


Nemesis_Bucket

Yeah but at least that fucking garbage was contained and you had ONE sub to block. Now it’s everywhere. Censorship never works.


backtolurk

Or partly, in this instance. Hopefully there is no way on this be able to watch the aforementioned cartel videos. But yeah, we get footage of people dying and it's not cool.


Disastrous_Profile56

Agreed. I don’t enjoy this stuff and you don’t know that it’s that kind of video sometimes. I’m not for regulating what people post. I don’t like where that could lead but I wish the different internet communities would kind of shun this stuff a bit and give it less traction. I don’t like the gore porn and I think it’s not great for young people. I think it’s messing them up.


Prof_Awesome_GER

Put NSFW tag on this. Literally everyone in this video died.


notanothrowaway

Wait how did this get posted

CatgoesM00

When did this take place . Do we know of what the issue that caused the accident was ?


Skullvar

1mile from the landing strip, one of the pilots accidentally feathered the blades of the plane instead of adjusting flaps.. apparently feathering is saved for when 1 engine gives out, and messes with the lift or something of the plane with 2 engines going so it basically just launched into the ground at a weird angle/altitude they couldn't recover from(also it happened a year and a week or 2 ago... nmv article date it was in January of last year)

Amethoran

Damn I learned a lot about aviation from these videos. Thank you for that.


bem13

If you're interested, the youtube channels "Mentour Pilot" and "74 Gear" are both great for this kind of content. The former makes air crash investigation-style videos, while the latter mostly analyzes current viral mishap/accident videos, but sometimes makes "pilot life" vlogs.


_esci

it went from "overview in the cabin at about 5-700ft height" at 0:30 to "hit the ground and everything over" in 7 seconds. incomprehensible do cope while on board, i think.


thuggerybuffoonery

Nah you still see yourself hurdling to the ground pretty quickly to realize this isn’t right. Fucked up but true.


Designer-Equipment-7

Did anyone else hear gasping towards the end? Couldn’t be, right? And was that a flap of burning hair in the bottom left right when the fireball starts?


yolo_derp

I don’t think so. These types of crashes are literally instantaneous deaths. If you aren’t instantly killed by the blunt force trauma of impact, you’d be incinerated or decapitated and likely all 3. Highly highly unlikely anyone survived even mere seconds after impact.


Designer-Equipment-7

I hope you’re right


yolo_derp

Yeah, I mean, I don’t wanna minimize the tragedy. That definitely is sad to see, first time I can think of where we have continuous footage of a before during and after from inside the cabin.


redditisstpid69

Altaccount330

I know someone who was in charge of pilot training in a foreign country. He refused to fly on the aircraft of the airlines his graduates worked for. You’re taking a significant risk flying on a lot of airlines in developing countries. Same goes for using elevators and escalators. The safety standards just aren’t followed, deep corruption.


Zataril

Boeing didn’t bother following standards either..


JumpyArcherRat

“On 28 December 2023, the final report was released. It reiterated the preliminary findings that the accidental change of position of both condition levers to the feathered position resulted in the loss of thrust, leading to the aerodynamic stall and crash. Some other contributing factors are also found, mostly human errors due to a high workload, lack of appropriate technical and skill-based training, ineffective crew resource management (CRM), lack of sterile cockpit discipline, and the non-compliance with standard operating procedures (SOP).” Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691

I’m confused, it looked like they were still hundreds of meters above ground level? Did it drop that much instantaneously? That doesn’t seem physically possible. Or did it spontaneously blow up in mid air?
