Boeing 747 Crashes in Dubai | Alone in the Inferno

This is why we MUST accept delays if there's a serious safety risk that needs to be addressed. This is a common theme in way too many incidents, and we all know the culprit. $$$ By the way, these incidents where the wheels catch on fire before being retracted into the interior of the plane are so scary. 😬

Both of these air disasters, were just so incredibly tragic! Especially the thought of burning to death in the first airplane!😢

such a sad story man, that poor copilot 😭😭

UPS 6 has to be the most heart wrenching crash of all time. The poor blinded co-pilot had to know his captain was dead and maybe he saw the unreachable Dubai runway beneath him as he flew over right down the centerline. A single wrong digit on the heading selector kept him from having a second desperate chance to land his crippled 747. "I need a heading!" Just too terrible to imagine.

it's amazing how people in videos on this channel. walk just like shaggy from scooby-doo

Maintenance crew had one job...and failed.

261 people were killed in the Nigeria AirwaysFlight 2120 accident. Rest in peace.

Nightmare fuel! That first one...

I watched the movie version of this and it broke my heart so much to see that valiant co-pilot guide that plane to a safe spot where he could crash without killing people. 😥

I have seen so many incidents where the pilots didn't even know an engine had torn right off the wing, or had metal torn off, or was on fire or leaking fuel, or ice buildup on the wings. But what blows me away about all the big aircraft accidents I've been binge-watching, is why in this age of sophisticated computerization that already exists in an aircraft, are there no simple VIDEO CAMERAS INSTALLED ON THE FUSELAGE THAT WOULD GIVE THE PILOTS GOOD VIEWS OF ALL ENGINES, FORE AND AFT, OR THE FLAPS, AND WING SURFACES, or the tail components!! In the one about the ice on the wings in Dryden Ontario. . . the pilot looks over his right shoulder and says that the wings look O.K. to him. Looking over his shoulder sure isn't going to give him any kind of view of the exhaust end of the engines either.The cockpit of the plane is tapered toward the nose further limiting what either the strapped in captain or first officer can see looking back. So often you see them trying to guess what a loud bang was about or if their landing gear was down or hoping that ATC could tell them what they could have simply seen with multiple surveillance cameras. It seems that often times the cabin crew doesn't even relay visual engine info to the pilots as though the pilots are aware of everything because of their array of sophisticated instruments. But with all that instrumentation, NO CAMERAS?? It boggles my mind actually that the pilots have no means to run visual checks on their own engines and wings. Seems like such a no-brainer and something that should be at the top of the list of changes needing to be made. P.S. Did you see the one where one or two engines ripped right off the wings while the pilots are battling with unexplained asymmetrical thrust that they are trying to account for. There are other instances of asymmetrical thrust where it could have saved lives for the pilots to have been able to visually assess what was going on externally with the planes engines and surfaces. In some scenarios the pilot or co-pilot could have seen that an engine had not yet been shut down when the checklist or another reason called for it. Right in this video, at 80 Knots, if the pilots had had a visual of their landing gear on fire they could have aborted the takeoff instead of retracting the gear and bringing the rubber fire up into the plane.

you didn't mention about the casualities

You know aviation is doing good when TFC does a reupload

I am missing your old video style 2018

Let's go!!! YouTube doesn't have anything good to watch right now! Refreshed 50 times before TFC saved the day!

The most important thing about this whole tragedy is that the project manager met his targets

What happened to the project manager?

In flight fires hit close to home. All of them. Swissair 111, South African 295, ValuJet 592 and many MANY more. You could always hear and feel the desperation and urgency in the voices and when reading the CVR transcripts. As someone who also recreates air disasters for channel content, I definitely can feel the pain these people felt when they were in their final moments. Speaking of, I'm working on Swissair 111 right now, and I'll give you some insight that this guy didn't.

We cannot imagine the horror those people went thrtough and, in the first case, a horror reverberated by hundreds of voices.

I was 11 years old when the crash of UPS 006 happened in Dubai. I was on the way to a family friend’s house when we crossed the Al Minhad Air Base where the crash happened. Still haunts me seeing that plane go up in flames while I assumed it would only be a standard landing since there wasn’t any visible sign of damage from the outside but I could be wrong cause it was dark and with that livery, it was hard to tell if I was reading into the details correctly but all I remember was freezing after watching a huge ball of fire erupt in the sky moments later.
