The number of times I've heard the NTSB draw the right conclusion and the FAA being more concerned about the profits of the companies they're supposed to be regulating... this points to a systemic issue that existed even before the FAA was operated by Boeing.

20 seconds! She made her decision to land in 20 seconds and it still wasn’t fast enough!!! The number of humans that could have made that correction in the time is vanishingly small. In short she did everything ANY person could have done and it still wasn’t enough. So sad.

One of my childhood friends died on this flight. We lived in Detroit. He obtained his dream to play in the NFL. When I heard about his death with his wife it stunned me. His children had to grow up without their parents. Rodney Culver was a great guy never got into any trouble always did the right thing. I’m sure today he is still missed by his family. Rest in Peace Rodney.

It's so tragic to watch skilled crew in a situation they could not save.

@amyroemer7035 11 months ago

According to the NTSB, they nearly set the test building itself on fire when they were testing if the canisters could produce the necessary heat. They found out they definitely could...and then some.

My very first commercial flight was aboard a Value Jet. After the pilot gave his spiel the flight attendants passed out paper and gave us a quiz on what the pilot just said. She read the funniest answers aloud before telling us the right answers. The person with the most right answers got free soda and peanuts. Everybody else had to buy drinks and snacks. It was a lot of fun.

Candi Kubeck, the captain of this flight, was a remarkable woman, a real glass ceiling breaker. She began learning to fly whilst still in high school & was the youngest woman to become a captain of a mainline jet in the USA. Sadly she was also the first female captain of a mainline jet to be killed in a crash. She did absolutely everything she could to save herself and her passengers & it's horrifying to think what she went through in those last few minutes of her life.

My father was a United 747-400 pilot on pacific rim flights. He says one of the scariest times in his 14 million mile career was a cargo hold fire light halfway between Singapore and Tokyo.

The first officer raced to the hold and discovered it was a crate of durian gassing off stinky humidity that fouled the sensor.

Hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.

A320 pilot here. I was operating a flight when on downwind at about 5,000 feet and descending, we got two separate smoke alarms from the forward lav. (It came on, turned off, then came on again.) We called the cabin crew and they told us it was a battery fire. They did a great job containing the fire and quickly putting it out. Ended up making an emergency landing but since we were on downwind anyway, it was only a couple of minutes before we were on the ground. We considered an evac but the fire was out and smoke had dissipated by the time we rolled out. Found out it was someone who was charging their phone, dropped it into their seat cushions, then moved the seat. Phone snapped in half, battery combusted. This is why airlines specifically tell you to a) not charge your phone below 10,000 feet, and b) not move the seat if you drop your phone. It actually can and has caused fires. Luckily in my flight's case, everything worked out the way it was supposed to and the only harm done was two seats that partially burned and had to be MEL'd. But that might not always be the case. Listen to your cabin crew when they tell you how to handle your devices.

Oh. Oh no

I worked with Candi in San Diego back in the 1980's. She was a top notch pilot. May she rest in peace.

The number of holes in the swiss cheese in this story is staggering

I grew up with a passenger on this flight. Sweet, sweet person. RIP Walter. RIP to all who met such a tragic and avoidable fate. Devastating.

@ThatCigarGuy 11 months ago

As a firefighter myself....people don't have enough respect for what an uncontrolled oxygen fed fire can do. I could see your pain in telling this story. It's truly horrific. They were dead before they left the ground and had no idea.

A true sign of the quality of these videos is how well the non-aviation concepts are explained; as someone who teaches chemistry at a university level for a living, the explanations of how the oxygen generators in passenger masks work are absolutely perfect. Love to see that!!
