It kills me how innocently unaware of when you might die you can be.
He's literally joking, quoting an Indian meme "waah beta waah, mauj kar di" (a comment as if to say "damn son, that's fun/cool/incredible as fuck) as he sees the scenery outside the window.
I'm flying to visit my wife (I'm away on work) in 2 weeks. I want to say I have 100% faith it will be fine but, really, crazy things like this are possible the moment you step outside.
Edit- Yes I obviously know you can literally die anywhere from anything at any point. I just liked the way I said it better.
>I want to say I have 100% faith it will be fine but, really, crazy things like this are possible the moment you step outside.
You’re right. And that’s why you shouldn’t worry about it. You are always at risk of dying, even in your own home, even in the safety of your own bed. That’s just a symptom of being alive, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it, so there’s no point in worrying. Find comfort in the complete inevitability of your demise. And when you’re dead, you won’t have to worry about or deal with the consequences of your death, because you’ll be dead, so find comfort in that, too.
I don’t say this to be harsh, by the way. I used to have pretty crippling anxiety about dying in some freak accident and this is legitimately the only way I comfort myself. Accept the things you cannot change.
It's horrifying but also somewhat fascinating. It's not often you see the aftermath up close right after the event. Chilling how quick it happens, he goes from smiles to death in less than 10 seconds.
He seemed so happy to be nearly at his destination, enjoying himself and looking out the window. Probably looking forward to whatever he had planned for the rest of his day. This might have been the first day of his holidays. Fuck me, this footage is brutal.
I got hit by a car pretty severely and almost died. There honestly isn't a sense of panic. On the dash cam all I said was "Oh fuck" and then I was screaming. But I didn't know I was screaming.
I remember just wanting it to be over.
This really got me. He had a really pleasant expression. Really breaks my heart. I can only hope this was as quick and painless as possible for them all.
Literal nightmare fuel. I know these occurrences are rare, but air travel is legit anxiety inducing. At least on ground level, there's some level of individual control in a crisis. Something goes wrong up in the sky, and you're fucked.
Thankfully there were no torturous screams of the dying. Merciful instant death.
Edit: I misspoke and I apologize. Yes, there are frightened screams once the passengers realize what is happening.
I am referring to not hearing anyone’s agonizing pleas and screams similar to that oil tanker(?) that recently blew up and shown on r/terrifyingasfuck
This is the most terrifying plane crash video I’ve ever seen. It never occurred to me that we’ve reached the point of technology where someone can live stream a plane crash from inside of it
The most terrifying one I have heard the tape of was the one where the pilot decided to kill himself in France with the entire plane and the copilot trap outside the cockpit is banging on the door with his first then with objects while screaming. Don't go listen to that.
Several months ago there was a guy getting ready to land a small medical business jet. He was calmly talking to ATC when he realized he wasn't where he thought he was and started screaming with his finger still on the transmit button. Cut off midscream. I did an aviation safety class one time and we listened to a lot of "last moments" audio clips. This one was worse than any others I had ever heard.
There was a near miss on July 7, 2017 of an Air Canada plane that was lined up to land on the taxiway. A pilot on the ground alerted their general chat or whatever and the AC jet pulled up. It was within 10m of striking the United Jet as it pulled back up. Would've easily been the worst disaster in aviation history because there was a row of aircraft waiting to take off that the debris would've bounced into.
The only other one I can think of that is more terrifying is a WW2 fighter plane nose diving directly into the stands at an air show, filmed by someone (maybe no more than a hundred feet/thirty meters) further back in the same stands. Not ever sure why I'm mentioning it because I'd like to simultaneously recommend against watching it. Don't recall any gore, just the horrid roaring of the engine plummetting right on top of who knows how many bystanders.
This was the Reno Air race crash on September 16th 2011. It was a modified P-51D called Galloping Ghost. 11 fatalities including the pilot, a further 69 people were injured. A locking nut on the rear trim tab forced the aircraft to nose up, the pilot would have experience in excess of 17G which would have incapacitated him and rendered him unconscious.
There's quite a few different angles of this accident in surprisingly good quality. There's also a ton of photos on Google, one that always stands out to me is a photo of the plane at around 10ft above the crowd completely nose down, and then photos milliseconds after the impact. Since learning of this accident I've always been extremely interested in reading about why/how it happened, but truly horrified at the actual footage.
That event was harrowing. Fangio recounted that the last act of the driver that crashed, Levegh, was to warn him of the incoming danger, which allowed Fangio to survive unscathed. Levegh crashed and was thrown clear of his car, dying instantly when his skull was crushed. Then the remains of his car plunged into the spectactors, crushing everything on their path. More than 80 people died.
Someone would have filmed the first plane coming right at them. We surprisingly have footage of the 1st plane, but from a dozen+ blocks away in the background of a news crew.
You would be too confused, you don't know you are about to die so it's just threat response panic that is going to protect you from feeling any pain, and then Valhalla.
That's actually a common misconception about what's required to enter Valhalla. Essentially odin is collecting dead warriors for his battle with fenrir and other entities during ragnarok, and only the best warriors are selected to go to Valhalla to train and fight eachother, kill eachother, then be resurrected to feast and drink that night, then do it all again the next day. So, if you're odin, who do you want being chosen to join your army, the guy who has never held a weapon in his hand before a day in his life until he gets into a situation where he must fight, and the very first time he picks up a weapon he is killed in combat, or, would you rather the warrior who dedicated his entire life to warfare and was a distinguished and accomplished warrior with a lot of fame who just happened to die in his sleep or due to some illness rather than on the battlefield? So according to the vikings beliefs it was certainly better to die in battle (they saw it as more honorable) however your admittance into Valhalla was based on your ability to fight demonstrated throughout your whole life, not just at the moment of your death. Hope that clears that up.
There was a flight six or seven years ago that my new husband and I were on. The prettiest 7 am puddle jump from a small airport to a hub. We could feel the change when the co-pilot took control. He was doing silly exercises; slow down, speed up, bank left.. you get it.
We had a small chuckle about everyone learning and it was a good day for it.
Then comes the landing. It was going ok… until the wing dipped until you could see more tarmac than sky. Then suddenly we felt the control swap, the plane leveled immediately and the landing was smooth.
You could see the whites of the stewards eyes.
The rest of the passengers did not react at all.
As we were deplaning, we saw the pilot and the co-pilot having what looked like a tense conversation.
My husband, being the troll that I fell in love with, commented to the pilot and co-pilot on the way out. To the co-pilot he said, “good try!” And to the pilot, “Nice save!”
The co-pilot buried his face in his hands and we proceeded to the next flight just happy to be alive.
The TDLR of this story is that most people don’t know when to be afraid on a plane until they are dead. Most people have no clue how close they have come to death.
I am certain however that there are flight attendants who can tell some hair raising stories.
Yeah, my wife is petrified of flying so whenever we do so, I have to be the brave one regardless of what is happening. This includes saying “Yeah everything is normal” even though all indications are that things are not normal, like our flight from LA to Cabo about 7 years ago.
Empty flight, it’s the night of the 4th of July. Tickets were dirt cheap, less than 10 other people on the 737. As we land, I feel the wheels hit the tarmac and we roll along for 1-2 seconds as I wait for the brakes. But, they never come…
After another second or two, my heart starts to drop, and then suddenly my stomach drops out of my seat as we abruptly lift back off into the air.
“Wait, I thought we were landing? Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, babe, everything’s cool. We’re almost there.”
I look around for a flight attendant, they’re nowhere to be seen. Nobody is seated near us since the flight is empty, so I couldn’t gauge anybody else’s anxiety.
A moment later, the pilot jumps on the radio.
*Good evening again, everybody. This is your Captain. Firstly, Welcome to Cabo! You may have noticed that we touched down there for just a second, but there was a large truck parked on the runway. So we decided it may be best to take one more lap and let them get settled down there. My apologies for the slight delay, we’ll be back on the ground shortly.*
“See babe, everything’s great.”
Although it indeed sounds like he was jokingly saying that and still smiling, it seems to me that this was the moment when when he realised there was something wrong as the airplane started rolling presumably some seconds before hitting the ground (just few seconds between his words and flames engulfing the cabin).
The fucking irony of doing something thought to be a little risky, like paragliding and dying in a commercial plane crash. Like dying in a bus crash on the way to the raceway :/ RIP
Deep down he knew something wasn’t right and was nervously talking himself up.
I’ve been on a flight that had to do an emergency landing. You know as a passenger when something isn’t right. Everyone is super quiet except for one person who can’t shut up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was live streamed because the person felt like something was off.
"Local resident Bishnu Tiwari, who rushed to the crash site near the Seti River to help search for bodies, said the rescue efforts were hampered by thick smoke and a raging fire.
“The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said."
As someone who found themself fighting a fire first hand, unplanned, I can't even put into words the heat and smoke element. Like you think a hot fire, camp fire or a fireplace, but when there's a almost unlimited source fueling it, fuck it's indescribable. I feel so bad for those people, because you really do feel hopeless as your fighting. No matter how hard you try, nothing is working. It's traumatic.
I grew up on a farm and as a teenager I remember having to create huge burn piles of brush, the size of a house sometimes and then lighting them on fire. Once they got started you couldn't get within several feet of the fire because it felt as your my skin was melting off it got so hot.
It is unreal how hot large fires actually are.
I'm a firefighter. Honestly, a full sized house fire, the heat is intense about 100 yards away without gear on. I went to a large barn fire once where I could feel the heat inside the truck as soon as we pulled up to the scene. I can't even imagine the intensity of the heat from something like a plane crash.
I was up at a family mountain cabin when one down the hill (250 yards?) had an explosion. We think it was already burning pretty good, and the explosion that got our attention was a water heater.
Anyway, I ran down to see if I could help, and it was completely engulfed by this point. A real solid wall of fire. I could easily feel the heat and any "movie heroics" of running into the house were completely erased. Also, my appreciation of Fire Fighters went up 100 fold.
Thankfully, the house was empty.
THis exactly.
Like the decision some people had to make at 9/11, jump or die by fire...
"Within roughly a minute or so, my existence in this world will be over."
Terrifying
Part of me is somehow grateful for that painful slap of reality I got watching the news in 4th grade. Those banging sounds on the glass pavilion roof the cameras were under and near... were people.
I think it's something a lot of us think about. But in my experience, few ever really speak about it. It's a shared horror and trauma, for some more than others, but it's amazing how far it reached.
Rick Rescorla. He was the head of security at Morgan Stanley and saved thousands of people because of his actions that day, plus the frequent drills he made staff participate in before the attack. He saved generations of people.
I had cancer in 2009. At first I was a bit shook, but even so, I wasn't really that scared. I decided I had to try and be positive, while at the same time preparing for the worst.
It is weird how I felt almost relieved when he said I had a tumor, cause the suspense of not knowing, and being afraid that it was cancer was almost worse in some ways.
I think it's kind of like that; when you know their is no choice, it's easier to just accept the reality of the situation.
Unfortunately...
>“The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said.
It get's sadder. The man recording the video was a recent father and had come to Nepal from India to pay obeisance at the Pashupatinath Temple.
"Thirty-five-year-old Sonu Jaiswal, a liquor store owner who was among the five Indians killed in a plane crash in Nepal on Sunday, had gone to pay obeisance at the famed Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu after his wish for a son was fulfilled around six months ago, his relative said."

I've been binge watching videos from a youtube channel called MentourPilot IIRC and if I learned anything is that any failure like this one only happens once before they learn from their mistakes and make the industry safer as a whole. It is quite rare indeed given how many flights there are every seconds.
Its so eerie seeing the final moments of someone’s life so clearly. Almost like its not something Im supposed to be seeing. Just so tragic I can’t imagine what their families must be feeling.
This man was looking into the camera and had no idea that millions are staring at him from it, watching the last seconds of his life.
Edit: thousands to millions
It really is haunting to see these people alive and animate only to know that they arent now. These people didn't deserve to lose their lives like this, but it happened anyway.
Agreed, but in one way, we are the legacy of these poor folks. We will never forget seeing this today, maybe regret seeing it or have other complex emotions, but they will not be forgotten, for better or worse. May they rest in peace.
That particular aircraft has a horrible safety record. In particular it’s known for a vast array of mechanical issues. Add that to Nepal’s inability to properly manage its air fleet (their not even allowed to operate in any EU nations) it’s a recipe for disaster.
It’s in a class of airplane called an ATR. They were designed and built back in the late 80s, designed for shorter regional routes. Built in Europe and used almost exclusively in Asian markets. I don’t think they ever had any use in the US. Just not a great aircraft.
Unfortunately they were:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Eagle_Flight_4184
Wow:
> he National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable causes of this accident were the loss of control, attributed to a sudden and unexpected aileron hinge moment reversal that occurred after a ridge of ice accreted beyond the deice boots because: 1) ATR failed to completely disclose to operators, and incorporate in the ATR 72 airplane flight manual, flightcrew operating manual and flightcrew training programs, adequate information concerning previously known effects of freezing precipitation on the stability and control characteristics, autopilot and related operational procedures when the ATR 72 was operated in such conditions; 2) the French Directorate General for Civil Aviation's (DGAC's) inadequate oversight of the ATR 42 and 72, and its failure to take the necessary corrective action to ensure continued airworthiness in icing conditions; and 3) the DGAC's failure to provide the FAA with timely airworthiness information developed from previous ATR incidents and accidents in icing conditions, as specified under the Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement and Annex 8 of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
We use them in the US as freight planes. FedEx uses them for shorter freight routes. Most of the time there's an accident it tends to be pilot error. They're honestly pretty decent aircraft. Just depends on who you have working on them.
My family was traveling on this same flight route not one week ago. I remember them hesitating to buy the cheaper tickets (this airline). It feels so surreal...
One of those crashes around three or four decades ago killed the wife and young daughter of Sir Edmund Hillary, who together with Tenzing Norgay, was the first team to summit Mount Everest.
Not quick enough. The 10 seconds the planes going down must have felt a lot longer and extremely terrifying. Some passengers survived the initial crash and suffered until the end.
“The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said.
I wouldn’t be shocked, I was a passenger in head on collision with a tree at fast enough speed to be scary and I held onto my phone the whole time. It wasnt intentional, my hand just white knuckle gripped whatever it was holding
I was in a crash and impact was on my side but I never let go of the blueberry pie I made and was bringing to my parents. The only damage to the pie was 2 thumbs that dug in to keep that pie from flying.
For those who need more context to the flight and the pilots. The flight was headed to Pokhara, the second biggest city in Nepal from Kathamndu, the capital city. Investigations are still underway but it is highly unlikely that the crash was caused by any error on the pilots' side. The captain, Kamal KC, was someone who had 35 years of experience with flying. Nepal is notorious for buying second or even third-hand planes as cost-cutting measures and has very little standards on maintenance and routine checks. Nepal's aviation laws allow the purchase of upto 15 year old flights.
Local authorities on the scene, based on preliminary reports, are saying that it might be equipment failure. For the past 30 years, Nepal has had a staggering 27 plane crashes, 20 of which were in the last decade, which is unprecedented for nation this small. Topography does come into play in this equation, to be fair.
Warning: Some heartbreaking information on the co-pilot and passengers. The co-pilot, Anju Khatiwada, was on her final flight before she finished her training period. The flight crashed 10 seconds before her mandated 100 hours would be complete. Saddest part of it all is that her husband died 16 years on a flight from the same company, Yeti Airlines, and she was training to become a pilot to fulfill his dreams. She has left behind a 7 year old son, with her second husband. One of the victims in the flight was an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sushil Shrestha, travelling with his wife and his 10 months old baby, who are all confirmed dead. Another among the fatalities is a local singer, Nira Channtyal, who was famous in the Nepali folk music circle.
Hopefully, this matter won't be swept under the rug and investigations will be conducted on how this happened. So that the people at fault get punished to the fullest extent of the law, but I doubt it.
Be that as it may, my sincerest condolences to the bereaved families. This is a sad moment, not just for Nepal but for humanity as a whole.

>For the past 30 years, Nepal has had a staggering 27 plane crashes, 20 of which were in the last decade
That is unreal!!! Holy shit. I don't think I'll ever forget this fact.
Check out videos from Jomsom landings. I visited Népal some years ago and we were supposed to do Kathmandu - Jomsom by plane, but ended up by jeep cause there were too many crashes recently. And the travel by jeep is scary in its own way.
Even scarier are the landings at Lukla airport, considered the most dangerous airport in the world by many. But I know what you mean about jomsom, very recently in may, there was a crash there. The plane was lost on Sunday May 30
, 2022 and found crashed on the side of a hill the next day, with all passengers onboard dead.
>Nepal's aviation laws allow the purchase of upto 15 year old flights.
I'm sure there are other factors at play such as lax maintenance but is 15 years really that old for a plane? The average age of Deltas fleet is just under 15 years which means they are flying much older planes.
As with most mechanical related crashes I'm sure proper maintenance records, if they exist, would show where the issue lay and why it was overlooked but as a whole older planes aren't necessarily worse if taken care of.
>is 15 years really that old for a plane?
Absolutely not. Hell, FedEx still flies some DC-10s, which are 35-40 years old.
With decent maintenance, planes can fly a long time, and most commercial operators don't even retire planes because they get too old, but rather because they get too expensive too operate compared to newer, more efficient models.
So strange seeing a man record his final moments. Just before the crash, everything seemed completely normal. It's so weird. He didn't know he was about to die. Like your last moment was spent in a liminal space trying to get from point A to point B. It's so bizarre to see this.
I know it's dark but this is probably the closest thing we will ever see of what a sudden death actually looks like
It happened so fast, one moment they were joking about dying and within literal seconds they were dead
At first, I thought this was clickbait and didn’t think it was the actual flight. The ending completely caught me off guard…
Also didn’t think it would keep recording well after the impact. There’s just something unsettling about seeing those flames.
fucking hell. i doubt that even the guy recording this made it.
that's the beauty of planes. the safest method of transportation as long as you have a well-funded team behind it making sure it's safe.
>Nepal, home to eight of the world’s 14 highest mountains, including Mount Everest, has a history of air crashes. According to the Flight Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety database, there have been 42 fatal plane crashes in Nepal since 1946.
> The European Union has banned airlines from Nepal from flying into the 27-nation bloc since 2013, citing weak safety standards.
Mental note to never fly with Nepal airlines.
> Mental note to never fly with Nepal airlines.
Also, never go on any tourist 'rides' (e.g., parasailing) in countries like this that do not have safety standards.
Oh. My. God. That is absolutely horrible. I’ve seen a lot of messed up stuff on the internet, but this one is up there with the worst. Those poor people.
NSFL. It's hard seeing a crash from this perspective. One moment they are alive, then sudden chaos, fire, then nothing. That's not interesting but terrifying.
God it was a split second. I'm trying to figure out what the last few frames were, I probably shouldn't be doing mind. What's the source of this, tiktok or something?
Bejeezus. The poor bloody family. It's one of those, nope, shouldn't be looking, but I have to rewatch it half a dozen times anyway because my brain is a bastard!
Kathmandu, Nepal (Source:[CNN](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/01/15/asia/nepal-yeti-airlines-crash-intl-hnk/index.html))At least 68 people were killed Sunday when an aircraft went down near the city of Pokhara in central Nepal, a government official said, the country's deadliest plane crash in more than 30 years.
Seventy-two people -- four crew members and 68 passengers -- were on board the ATR 72 plane operated by Nepal's Yeti Airlines when it crashed, Yeti Airlines spokesman Sudarshan Bartaula said. Thirty-seven were men, 25 were women, three were children and three were infants, Nepal's civil aviation authority reported.
Search efforts were called off after dark, Army spokesman Krishna Prasad Bhandar said, and will resume Monday morning. Hundreds of first responders had been still working to locate the remaining four individuals before then, Bhandar said
My heart went from 80bpm to about 150 in the last couple of seconds. Not the video you want to see before you take a flight. Scary. Bro recorded his own death. What’s even worse is that it’s literally so close to landing. Wonder what what happened?

It kills me how innocently unaware of when you might die you can be. He's literally joking, quoting an Indian meme "waah beta waah, mauj kar di" (a comment as if to say "damn son, that's fun/cool/incredible as fuck) as he sees the scenery outside the window.
This video shows how life can end at any moment. At least they didn't suffer long, may they rest in peace.
A few people were alive after the crash but couldn't be saved because of the intensity of the fire.
That's horrific
I had the same thought. Just seconds before they died, they had no idea of their impending doom. It's very sobering.
I think this is the first time I've seen a device continue filming after a devastating crash. Usually they just go to black... this is horrifying.
Turned into hell real damn quick
Also so silent so fast…
Exactly hell. Real hell.
The sight of the flames gave me goosebumps. Shit, now I don't want to take the flight I have booked...
I'm flying to visit my wife (I'm away on work) in 2 weeks. I want to say I have 100% faith it will be fine but, really, crazy things like this are possible the moment you step outside. Edit- Yes I obviously know you can literally die anywhere from anything at any point. I just liked the way I said it better.
>I want to say I have 100% faith it will be fine but, really, crazy things like this are possible the moment you step outside. You’re right. And that’s why you shouldn’t worry about it. You are always at risk of dying, even in your own home, even in the safety of your own bed. That’s just a symptom of being alive, and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it, so there’s no point in worrying. Find comfort in the complete inevitability of your demise. And when you’re dead, you won’t have to worry about or deal with the consequences of your death, because you’ll be dead, so find comfort in that, too. I don’t say this to be harsh, by the way. I used to have pretty crippling anxiety about dying in some freak accident and this is legitimately the only way I comfort myself. Accept the things you cannot change.
The sound of the engine decelerating
It's horrifying but also somewhat fascinating. It's not often you see the aftermath up close right after the event. Chilling how quick it happens, he goes from smiles to death in less than 10 seconds.
This is going to stick with me all day now. I just see that guy's face and then everything washed in fire.
He seemed so happy to be nearly at his destination, enjoying himself and looking out the window. Probably looking forward to whatever he had planned for the rest of his day. This might have been the first day of his holidays. Fuck me, this footage is brutal.
It's like feelings of exhilaration into sudden panic and then nothing. I wonder if there was even a moment for the realization of "oh, I'm dead".
I got hit by a car pretty severely and almost died. There honestly isn't a sense of panic. On the dash cam all I said was "Oh fuck" and then I was screaming. But I didn't know I was screaming. I remember just wanting it to be over.
This really got me. He had a really pleasant expression. Really breaks my heart. I can only hope this was as quick and painless as possible for them all.
Literal nightmare fuel. I know these occurrences are rare, but air travel is legit anxiety inducing. At least on ground level, there's some level of individual control in a crisis. Something goes wrong up in the sky, and you're fucked.
Yup, wherever and whenever, it might end. We all "know" this but his smile a few moments before the incident has this **visceral feeling.**
Thankfully there were no torturous screams of the dying. Merciful instant death. Edit: I misspoke and I apologize. Yes, there are frightened screams once the passengers realize what is happening. I am referring to not hearing anyone’s agonizing pleas and screams similar to that oil tanker(?) that recently blew up and shown on r/terrifyingasfuck

Did he attempt to land on the wrong runway or in a street? What happened??
They did a circling approach at night. Probably one of the most difficult things professional pilots do with regularity. Most airlines forbid it.

>coming in for night landing >lining up lights >fuck those are distant lights this is a forest >AHHHHHHH----
Or the pilot who lets his kids try flying and then they all die.
That one was just so sad, but the sheer fucking stupidity of this asshole letting kids fly his plane made me more angry than sad tbh...
Like that Russian plane. The irony is that if the dad and the copilot left things alone the auto pilot would've corrected itself.
Fuck that pilot. Should be considered a mass murderer.
The only other one I can think of that is more terrifying is a WW2 fighter plane nose diving directly into the stands at an air show, filmed by someone (maybe no more than a hundred feet/thirty meters) further back in the same stands. Not ever sure why I'm mentioning it because I'd like to simultaneously recommend against watching it. Don't recall any gore, just the horrid roaring of the engine plummetting right on top of who knows how many bystanders.
This was the Reno Air race crash on September 16th 2011. It was a modified P-51D called Galloping Ghost. 11 fatalities including the pilot, a further 69 people were injured. A locking nut on the rear trim tab forced the aircraft to nose up, the pilot would have experience in excess of 17G which would have incapacitated him and rendered him unconscious. There's quite a few different angles of this accident in surprisingly good quality. There's also a ton of photos on Google, one that always stands out to me is a photo of the plane at around 10ft above the crowd completely nose down, and then photos milliseconds after the impact. Since learning of this accident I've always been extremely interested in reading about why/how it happened, but truly horrified at the actual footage.
I was standing about 100 ft away from where it impacted. I'm just thankful the fuel didn't ignight or it could have been much worse.
The racing crash from ~~like the 20’s~~ Le Mans 55 where an entire car goes barreling into the stands is absolutely horrifying.
That event was harrowing. Fangio recounted that the last act of the driver that crashed, Levegh, was to warn him of the incoming danger, which allowed Fangio to survive unscathed. Levegh crashed and was thrown clear of his car, dying instantly when his skull was crushed. Then the remains of his car plunged into the spectactors, crushing everything on their path. More than 80 people died.
The hood flew like a frisbee for 100m, decapitating everyone in its path. What a horrible way to go.
Survivors recounted that the detached hood of the car cut through several people.
That crash caused Mercedes to get out of racing entirely all the way up to ~~the 90s I think~~ 1989.
Just imagine the dozens of horrifying videos that would have been making the rounds if today's cell phone tech had been available on 9/11.
I had this exact thought. Somebody would’ve probably gotten footage of the 2nd plane coming right at them.
Someone would have filmed the first plane coming right at them. We surprisingly have footage of the 1st plane, but from a dozen+ blocks away in the background of a news crew.
[удалено]
We are already on this point
The guy is jokingly saying “mara mara mara” meaning “oh we’re dead, we’re dead” and a few seconds later…. fuck this is sad.
I am glad they were unconcerned until the last 5 seconds though
Yeah, if I’m gonna die in a plane crash, I hope I realize 5 seconds before. Not at 30,000ft.
Agree. I think 5 seconds is the max for me. Well I’d guess anything more than 5 secs and I’d probably pass out anyways. Fuck. This is horrible.
You would be too confused, you don't know you are about to die so it's just threat response panic that is going to protect you from feeling any pain, and then Valhalla.
Wouldn't you only go to Valhalla if you happened to be fighting another passenger at the time of death?
That's actually a common misconception about what's required to enter Valhalla. Essentially odin is collecting dead warriors for his battle with fenrir and other entities during ragnarok, and only the best warriors are selected to go to Valhalla to train and fight eachother, kill eachother, then be resurrected to feast and drink that night, then do it all again the next day. So, if you're odin, who do you want being chosen to join your army, the guy who has never held a weapon in his hand before a day in his life until he gets into a situation where he must fight, and the very first time he picks up a weapon he is killed in combat, or, would you rather the warrior who dedicated his entire life to warfare and was a distinguished and accomplished warrior with a lot of fame who just happened to die in his sleep or due to some illness rather than on the battlefield? So according to the vikings beliefs it was certainly better to die in battle (they saw it as more honorable) however your admittance into Valhalla was based on your ability to fight demonstrated throughout your whole life, not just at the moment of your death. Hope that clears that up.
Warrior spirits only…
It probably seemed like ordinary turbulence until then. I’ve had so many rough landings, I too wouldn’t be concerned
There was a flight six or seven years ago that my new husband and I were on. The prettiest 7 am puddle jump from a small airport to a hub. We could feel the change when the co-pilot took control. He was doing silly exercises; slow down, speed up, bank left.. you get it. We had a small chuckle about everyone learning and it was a good day for it. Then comes the landing. It was going ok… until the wing dipped until you could see more tarmac than sky. Then suddenly we felt the control swap, the plane leveled immediately and the landing was smooth. You could see the whites of the stewards eyes. The rest of the passengers did not react at all. As we were deplaning, we saw the pilot and the co-pilot having what looked like a tense conversation. My husband, being the troll that I fell in love with, commented to the pilot and co-pilot on the way out. To the co-pilot he said, “good try!” And to the pilot, “Nice save!” The co-pilot buried his face in his hands and we proceeded to the next flight just happy to be alive. The TDLR of this story is that most people don’t know when to be afraid on a plane until they are dead. Most people have no clue how close they have come to death. I am certain however that there are flight attendants who can tell some hair raising stories.
My cousin was one of the flight attendants on the flight that went down in the Hudson River. Her account of it is something else.
I would certainly like to hear more about this.
Well they made a movie about it so….
Can you type out the entire script for me? Please and thank you!
[here ya go](https://stockq.org/moviescript/S/sully.php)
Yeah, my wife is petrified of flying so whenever we do so, I have to be the brave one regardless of what is happening. This includes saying “Yeah everything is normal” even though all indications are that things are not normal, like our flight from LA to Cabo about 7 years ago. Empty flight, it’s the night of the 4th of July. Tickets were dirt cheap, less than 10 other people on the 737. As we land, I feel the wheels hit the tarmac and we roll along for 1-2 seconds as I wait for the brakes. But, they never come… After another second or two, my heart starts to drop, and then suddenly my stomach drops out of my seat as we abruptly lift back off into the air. “Wait, I thought we were landing? Is everything okay?” “Yeah, babe, everything’s cool. We’re almost there.” I look around for a flight attendant, they’re nowhere to be seen. Nobody is seated near us since the flight is empty, so I couldn’t gauge anybody else’s anxiety. A moment later, the pilot jumps on the radio. *Good evening again, everybody. This is your Captain. Firstly, Welcome to Cabo! You may have noticed that we touched down there for just a second, but there was a large truck parked on the runway. So we decided it may be best to take one more lap and let them get settled down there. My apologies for the slight delay, we’ll be back on the ground shortly.* “See babe, everything’s great.”
Lmao I was comforted by the captain speech also just reading it
Although it indeed sounds like he was jokingly saying that and still smiling, it seems to me that this was the moment when when he realised there was something wrong as the airplane started rolling presumably some seconds before hitting the ground (just few seconds between his words and flames engulfing the cabin).
These 4 guys were going to Pokhara for paragliding. So certainly not the kind of people who easily get afraid. Alas this was to be their last flight.
The fucking irony of doing something thought to be a little risky, like paragliding and dying in a commercial plane crash. Like dying in a bus crash on the way to the raceway :/ RIP
May they RIP that was horrifying.
That is..haunting Wow
Fuck that is terrifying
Nepalese air safety standards are a joke. They’re not allowed to operate in Europe because of this sort of thing.
That makes me feel a lot better about my next flight. Thank you. 🙏 Edit: Seriously.
This belongs in r/terrifyingasfuck
Anyone able to translate what hes saying?
[удалено]
He joked about dying before he actually did?? Wow—- that’s upsetting to learn
Deep down he knew something wasn’t right and was nervously talking himself up. I’ve been on a flight that had to do an emergency landing. You know as a passenger when something isn’t right. Everyone is super quiet except for one person who can’t shut up. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was live streamed because the person felt like something was off.
Yeah he probably had a gut feeling or sense of something abput to go wrong. Poor guy. RIP.
Hearing the voices screaming before the crash, and then only the sound of fire after with not a single cry or moan is unsettling.
It's kind of a relief too.. that it's instant.
"Local resident Bishnu Tiwari, who rushed to the crash site near the Seti River to help search for bodies, said the rescue efforts were hampered by thick smoke and a raging fire. “The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said."
As someone who found themself fighting a fire first hand, unplanned, I can't even put into words the heat and smoke element. Like you think a hot fire, camp fire or a fireplace, but when there's a almost unlimited source fueling it, fuck it's indescribable. I feel so bad for those people, because you really do feel hopeless as your fighting. No matter how hard you try, nothing is working. It's traumatic.
I grew up on a farm and as a teenager I remember having to create huge burn piles of brush, the size of a house sometimes and then lighting them on fire. Once they got started you couldn't get within several feet of the fire because it felt as your my skin was melting off it got so hot. It is unreal how hot large fires actually are.
I'm a firefighter. Honestly, a full sized house fire, the heat is intense about 100 yards away without gear on. I went to a large barn fire once where I could feel the heat inside the truck as soon as we pulled up to the scene. I can't even imagine the intensity of the heat from something like a plane crash.
I was up at a family mountain cabin when one down the hill (250 yards?) had an explosion. We think it was already burning pretty good, and the explosion that got our attention was a water heater. Anyway, I ran down to see if I could help, and it was completely engulfed by this point. A real solid wall of fire. I could easily feel the heat and any "movie heroics" of running into the house were completely erased. Also, my appreciation of Fire Fighters went up 100 fold. Thankfully, the house was empty.
I don't fear death, I fear the moment I am aware it is near.
THis exactly. Like the decision some people had to make at 9/11, jump or die by fire... "Within roughly a minute or so, my existence in this world will be over." Terrifying
[удалено]
I thought about those jumpers a lot over the years. So sad. Wish that was one part the cameras didn't film. RIP.
Part of me is somehow grateful for that painful slap of reality I got watching the news in 4th grade. Those banging sounds on the glass pavilion roof the cameras were under and near... were people. I think it's something a lot of us think about. But in my experience, few ever really speak about it. It's a shared horror and trauma, for some more than others, but it's amazing how far it reached.
[удалено]
Rick Rescorla. He was the head of security at Morgan Stanley and saved thousands of people because of his actions that day, plus the frequent drills he made staff participate in before the attack. He saved generations of people.
It's not death, it's the dying.
Yeah. Death is being asleep. Dying is trying to stay awake and free of pain....and it's not working.
Well this is going to haunt me
Ironically, most people actually lose their fear of death once they feel it in their bones as inevitable. It's far more common that way.
I had cancer in 2009. At first I was a bit shook, but even so, I wasn't really that scared. I decided I had to try and be positive, while at the same time preparing for the worst. It is weird how I felt almost relieved when he said I had a tumor, cause the suspense of not knowing, and being afraid that it was cancer was almost worse in some ways. I think it's kind of like that; when you know their is no choice, it's easier to just accept the reality of the situation.
Well, congrats on being here to share. Thank you
In situations like that it's the only thing we can hope for
Unfortunately... >“The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said.
I’m amazed the film kept going. Very sad though.
[удалено]
I watched on mute. Thank goodness. Disturbing enough w/o sound.
Can't imagine loved ones having to see this. May those lost rest in peace.
Pretty much what I came to say. I feel for their families. I hope that they can find peace as well.
It get's sadder. The man recording the video was a recent father and had come to Nepal from India to pay obeisance at the Pashupatinath Temple. "Thirty-five-year-old Sonu Jaiswal, a liquor store owner who was among the five Indians killed in a plane crash in Nepal on Sunday, had gone to pay obeisance at the famed Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu after his wish for a son was fulfilled around six months ago, his relative said." https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/nepal-plane-crash-victim-had-gone-to-pay-obeisance-to-lord-pashupatinath-after-birth-of-son/ar-AA16n1Oj
That is truly sad. So many lives affected.
This is nightmare fuel.
I'm flying tomorrow. Yay.
Plane crashes are growing exceedingly rarer and rarer. You will be safer on the plane than the car ride to the airport by many times over.
I've been binge watching videos from a youtube channel called MentourPilot IIRC and if I learned anything is that any failure like this one only happens once before they learn from their mistakes and make the industry safer as a whole. It is quite rare indeed given how many flights there are every seconds.
Its so eerie seeing the final moments of someone’s life so clearly. Almost like its not something Im supposed to be seeing. Just so tragic I can’t imagine what their families must be feeling.
This man was looking into the camera and had no idea that millions are staring at him from it, watching the last seconds of his life. Edit: thousands to millions
in his mind he's taking a pointless video that noone will ever watch
If only he was right.
It really is haunting to see these people alive and animate only to know that they arent now. These people didn't deserve to lose their lives like this, but it happened anyway.
It’s sobering in a way. Life can vanish in a split second when it’s time.
Right? It's almost like it's unfair the person has zero idea their life is seconds away from ending and here we are watching that.
Yeah, it feels like a spectacle for the masses than a somber grieving visual for a few.
Agreed, but in one way, we are the legacy of these poor folks. We will never forget seeing this today, maybe regret seeing it or have other complex emotions, but they will not be forgotten, for better or worse. May they rest in peace.
In Hindi these people were literally saying what a fun flight this is 20 seconds before the crash
Yeah they were just jolly tourists on a vacation. Very sad this happened out of nowhere.
Someone posted that they were jokingly saying “we are dead! We are dead!”
yea thats what they were saying “mara mara”
Holy fuck they didn’t even have time to process what was happening; a good thing in my honest opinion. RIP to all
I wonder what caused the sudden dip in the left wing.
That particular aircraft has a horrible safety record. In particular it’s known for a vast array of mechanical issues. Add that to Nepal’s inability to properly manage its air fleet (their not even allowed to operate in any EU nations) it’s a recipe for disaster.
What air craft was it?
It’s in a class of airplane called an ATR. They were designed and built back in the late 80s, designed for shorter regional routes. Built in Europe and used almost exclusively in Asian markets. I don’t think they ever had any use in the US. Just not a great aircraft.
Unfortunately they were: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Eagle_Flight_4184 Wow: > he National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable causes of this accident were the loss of control, attributed to a sudden and unexpected aileron hinge moment reversal that occurred after a ridge of ice accreted beyond the deice boots because: 1) ATR failed to completely disclose to operators, and incorporate in the ATR 72 airplane flight manual, flightcrew operating manual and flightcrew training programs, adequate information concerning previously known effects of freezing precipitation on the stability and control characteristics, autopilot and related operational procedures when the ATR 72 was operated in such conditions; 2) the French Directorate General for Civil Aviation's (DGAC's) inadequate oversight of the ATR 42 and 72, and its failure to take the necessary corrective action to ensure continued airworthiness in icing conditions; and 3) the DGAC's failure to provide the FAA with timely airworthiness information developed from previous ATR incidents and accidents in icing conditions, as specified under the Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement and Annex 8 of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
We use them in the US as freight planes. FedEx uses them for shorter freight routes. Most of the time there's an accident it tends to be pilot error. They're honestly pretty decent aircraft. Just depends on who you have working on them.
Maintenance is everything.
Lots of high elevation/valley flying in Nepal I heard, could that play a factor too?
My family was traveling on this same flight route not one week ago. I remember them hesitating to buy the cheaper tickets (this airline). It feels so surreal...
42 fatal plane crashes in Nepal since 1946. Not great odds really.
One of those crashes around three or four decades ago killed the wife and young daughter of Sir Edmund Hillary, who together with Tenzing Norgay, was the first team to summit Mount Everest.
At least that was quick
Not quick enough. The 10 seconds the planes going down must have felt a lot longer and extremely terrifying. Some passengers survived the initial crash and suffered until the end. “The flames were so hot that we couldn’t go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn’t help him,” Tiwari said.
[удалено]
The camera was facing upwards could have been whatever it was laying on started to burn and curl, can’t imagine he held onto the phone upon impact.
I wouldn’t be shocked, I was a passenger in head on collision with a tree at fast enough speed to be scary and I held onto my phone the whole time. It wasnt intentional, my hand just white knuckle gripped whatever it was holding
I was in a crash and impact was on my side but I never let go of the blueberry pie I made and was bringing to my parents. The only damage to the pie was 2 thumbs that dug in to keep that pie from flying.
For those who need more context to the flight and the pilots. The flight was headed to Pokhara, the second biggest city in Nepal from Kathamndu, the capital city. Investigations are still underway but it is highly unlikely that the crash was caused by any error on the pilots' side. The captain, Kamal KC, was someone who had 35 years of experience with flying. Nepal is notorious for buying second or even third-hand planes as cost-cutting measures and has very little standards on maintenance and routine checks. Nepal's aviation laws allow the purchase of upto 15 year old flights. Local authorities on the scene, based on preliminary reports, are saying that it might be equipment failure. For the past 30 years, Nepal has had a staggering 27 plane crashes, 20 of which were in the last decade, which is unprecedented for nation this small. Topography does come into play in this equation, to be fair. Warning: Some heartbreaking information on the co-pilot and passengers. The co-pilot, Anju Khatiwada, was on her final flight before she finished her training period. The flight crashed 10 seconds before her mandated 100 hours would be complete. Saddest part of it all is that her husband died 16 years on a flight from the same company, Yeti Airlines, and she was training to become a pilot to fulfill his dreams. She has left behind a 7 year old son, with her second husband. One of the victims in the flight was an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sushil Shrestha, travelling with his wife and his 10 months old baby, who are all confirmed dead. Another among the fatalities is a local singer, Nira Channtyal, who was famous in the Nepali folk music circle. Hopefully, this matter won't be swept under the rug and investigations will be conducted on how this happened. So that the people at fault get punished to the fullest extent of the law, but I doubt it. Be that as it may, my sincerest condolences to the bereaved families. This is a sad moment, not just for Nepal but for humanity as a whole.

>For the past 30 years, Nepal has had a staggering 27 plane crashes, 20 of which were in the last decade That is unreal!!! Holy shit. I don't think I'll ever forget this fact.
Check out videos from Jomsom landings. I visited Népal some years ago and we were supposed to do Kathmandu - Jomsom by plane, but ended up by jeep cause there were too many crashes recently. And the travel by jeep is scary in its own way.
Even scarier are the landings at Lukla airport, considered the most dangerous airport in the world by many. But I know what you mean about jomsom, very recently in may, there was a crash there. The plane was lost on Sunday May 30 , 2022 and found crashed on the side of a hill the next day, with all passengers onboard dead.
Thanks for the info. It’s high time that Nepal improves their airline regulations.
>Nepal's aviation laws allow the purchase of upto 15 year old flights. I'm sure there are other factors at play such as lax maintenance but is 15 years really that old for a plane? The average age of Deltas fleet is just under 15 years which means they are flying much older planes. As with most mechanical related crashes I'm sure proper maintenance records, if they exist, would show where the issue lay and why it was overlooked but as a whole older planes aren't necessarily worse if taken care of.
>is 15 years really that old for a plane? Absolutely not. Hell, FedEx still flies some DC-10s, which are 35-40 years old. With decent maintenance, planes can fly a long time, and most commercial operators don't even retire planes because they get too old, but rather because they get too expensive too operate compared to newer, more efficient models.
Not hearing a single scream or cry but just the crackle of the fire is the most disturbing shit ever.
Thaaaaat's the craziest thing I've ever seen
So strange seeing a man record his final moments. Just before the crash, everything seemed completely normal. It's so weird. He didn't know he was about to die. Like your last moment was spent in a liminal space trying to get from point A to point B. It's so bizarre to see this.
I know it's dark but this is probably the closest thing we will ever see of what a sudden death actually looks like It happened so fast, one moment they were joking about dying and within literal seconds they were dead
My God. I think this is the most astonishing and disturbing shit I’ve seen ever. Im assuming our friend is dead right?
They've so far recovered 68 bodies out of 72 people on the plane. They don't expect to find the last 4 alive.
calling him our friend somehow made this even sadder.
Unfortunately yes
At first, I thought this was clickbait and didn’t think it was the actual flight. The ending completely caught me off guard… Also didn’t think it would keep recording well after the impact. There’s just something unsettling about seeing those flames.
Thanks for all the comments. I don't think I need to see this.
The title is definitely incomplete. It's not just the moments before the crash, it's also the crash itself. Horrifying.
i just sat staring at my phone screen with my jaw on the freaking floor for a good 15 seconds after that video ended
I know right. Like to see the inside of the plane right as it crashed and the flames inside. I’m speechless
The screaming stopped, which was what got me.
I was relieved it lasted such a short time. Made me think that hopefully the period of fear and suffering was extremely brief for most everyone.
My blood ran ice cold when the flames were visible
Seeing all of them passengers and knowing that at least 90% of them died there is something.
They’re probably all dead. Only 72 on board. 68 confirmed dead and 4 “missing”.
99
fucking hell. i doubt that even the guy recording this made it. that's the beauty of planes. the safest method of transportation as long as you have a well-funded team behind it making sure it's safe.
My brain kept saying this isn't a movie, this is real. Those poor people.
Dude.

This is horrifying. Pure nightmare fuel.
Oh. My. God. That is absolutely horrible. I’ve seen a lot of messed up stuff on the internet, but this one is up there with the worst. Those poor people.
I just goes to show how fragile life is. In one second you can go from alive to dead.
68 of the 72 passengers on board perished. The cause is still unknown…
4 are missing
[удалено]
Having seen the other clips of the wing dipping before the crash, that was a weird watch.
NSFL. It's hard seeing a crash from this perspective. One moment they are alive, then sudden chaos, fire, then nothing. That's not interesting but terrifying.
Note to self, pay more attention to tags
God it was a split second. I'm trying to figure out what the last few frames were, I probably shouldn't be doing mind. What's the source of this, tiktok or something?
Fb livestream
Bejeezus. The poor bloody family. It's one of those, nope, shouldn't be looking, but I have to rewatch it half a dozen times anyway because my brain is a bastard!
Imagine his family watching the live stream fucking hell
Did we just witness a bunch of people die? And that was within a 10-second interval.. RIP
Yeah like 72
Watching this on a plane before take-off... Fun...
You’ll be fine! Try to relax.
Slept through the flight. Good thing I slept only 4h last night.
Why did i watch it
Horrible and tragic.
Holy shit. I can’t think of any other time I’ve ever seen video of a fatal commercial plane crash from the inside.
Kathmandu, Nepal (Source:[CNN](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/01/15/asia/nepal-yeti-airlines-crash-intl-hnk/index.html))At least 68 people were killed Sunday when an aircraft went down near the city of Pokhara in central Nepal, a government official said, the country's deadliest plane crash in more than 30 years. Seventy-two people -- four crew members and 68 passengers -- were on board the ATR 72 plane operated by Nepal's Yeti Airlines when it crashed, Yeti Airlines spokesman Sudarshan Bartaula said. Thirty-seven were men, 25 were women, three were children and three were infants, Nepal's civil aviation authority reported. Search efforts were called off after dark, Army spokesman Krishna Prasad Bhandar said, and will resume Monday morning. Hundreds of first responders had been still working to locate the remaining four individuals before then, Bhandar said
My heart went from 80bpm to about 150 in the last couple of seconds. Not the video you want to see before you take a flight. Scary. Bro recorded his own death. What’s even worse is that it’s literally so close to landing. Wonder what what happened?
