Airplane crash forensics are amazing! Amazing that so much information can be gleaned and incorporated into the known evidence to solve a complex mystery. Job well done, as the victims deserve.

This just gives a different perspective on winning and losing lotteries and how losing isn't always bad.

"Airframe" by Michael Crichton deals with this problem. A very good read.

Can you please stop combining 2 incidents into one video? And by the way, I have no idea what that mysterious object is yet...

So you are honestly telling me that pendulum weights are in the tail plane?
Did they also have a grand farther clock on board to keep time?

Not the North Sea, that’s west of Denmark. It’s called Skagerrak.

As i watch these accident investigations, it strikes me that aircraft manufacturers might consider installing cameras to monitor the outside view of the aircraft to enable pilots to view things like the engines and wings and tail areas externally, much like the back up view in some cars. This could help in flight troubleshooting as well as provide evidence for crash investigations, and would not be expensive for them to do.

I'm literally only 5 minutes into this video and I'm guessing that the shockwave from the F16 fighter jet has something to do with the plane going down?????????????

And, regarding noticing something completely different: At 01:51 how did that nose come to be shaped like that? :face-blue-wide-eyes::hand-orange-covering-eyes: And, at 02:01, why would the doctor that cut and tied off his umbilical cord when he was born leave it like that?! :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes:

Please some company should create new technology and do something about the seats with the automatic parashoot in case of amergency so every single person will be safe or at least have chance to survive , I am watching these disasters and I feel so sorry for those who died in plane crash, humans deserve to change this even it is too expensive to build the seats with the parashoots, every comercial plane should have it , they have made lots of billions in the air industry so now people deserve to fly with parashoot dont you think

But isn't the apu also used in case of a flame out? When the engines flame out due to fuel starvation? To keep vital electronics and steering operable? Since when is an apu only used while the plane is on the ground?
