That poor man that jumped rather than go down with the plane is a horrifying detail of this disaster.

It's creepy that the guy who jumped apparently discussed this specific scenario frequently enough that his friends could tell anecdotes about it, probably because of the anxiety of flying. This was probably his literal worst nightmare. At least he stuck to his guns in the end.

That lawyer lived and died by his words I feel especially bad for him because he was afraid of flying and his worst nightmare became a reality

We often forget the trauma that witnesses to these disaster endure.

Fires on airplanes are always horrific. I was an aircraft mechanic for Eastern Airlines, back in the days when it still existed. I remember an incident where a 727 came in with a lot of fire damage on the left side, behind the overwing exits. What had happened was a woman was smoking, back in the days when this was still a thing, while using nail polish remover. Somehow the nail polish remover spilled (probably had it standing on the tray table) which caused her to try to grab it in a panic. Somehow she dropped the cigarette and it touched off the nail polish remover, right as it was dropping through a vent on the side, near the floor. When the plane arrived in Miami, all the fire extinguishers were empty, including the water type, the fire axe was in a galley, and the sidewall near the incident looked a lot like the door that Jack (all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy) axed his way through in the movie "The Shining". In this case, the crew and passengers were able to overcome what could have been a very similar incident.

The resident making her house a base camp for investigators and salvage crews reminds me of the Lockerbie disaster. Residents there virtually adopted relatives and investigators. They fed them, did their washing, took them into their homes for days if not weeks. Lifelong friendships were formed... Just sometimes, I have hope for our human race.

I used to work at the Knoxville airport and my manager's dad worked recovery for this crash. He said that he approached a man sitting up against a tree from the side who was staring into the forest and called out to him, but when he got close enough realized the man had been cut off at the waist. Plane crashes are horrifying. I had no idea this one was never really solved.

Where I grew up, there's a park about 5 minutes away from me where a plane crashed and in the final minutes of the pilots life, he crashed the plane into the then open space, barely missing hundreds of houses. It was so close that the crash is only one street turn away from all the houses. My grandmother, two aunt's, and my mother lived and grew up in the house barely missed by the crash. Just, imagine knowing you're going to die, and with your last few seconds of life you choose to save hundreds. There's a memorial there, and although I wasnt born when it happened, I still visit the memorial and cry for all the names of the dead.

A crash that is somewhat similar but even more horrifying in my mind is Flight 2120 in 1991. Investigators determined that due to more than one tire being underinflated, a tire was on fire when it lifted off, so when the gear was retracted the lower part of the cabin was set on fire. The crew didn't realize they had a problem immediately, but when they declared an emergency and turned back it was too late. The cabin was full of smoke and flames so the passengers were panicking, then when the gear was lowered in preparation for landing, the plane started coming apart because its structural integrity was lost. Eleven miles from the airport and several thousand feet in the air, people were falling out of the plane, and it crashed soon after in a comet-like blaze. No survivors. Air Disasters did a segment about it in their third season. The final report blamed the organization--they had managers making decisions based on money who knew little about safety. Apparently the pilots were not told about the underinflation and the documents were "corrected" to make it look like everything was peachy when the plane took off.

Getting the right balance between clarity, conciseness and detail is not easy to pull off, but you do it in every video.

I love how the town rallied around the victims to keep their memory alive and helped in the recovery efforts. That speaks volumes about the kind of town that is. We need more towns and more people like that in this world today!!

It’s just occurred to me that there’s that final moment when the recovery and investigation and cleanup is over and the last person leaves the crash site. It becomes silent and empty again. There’s something very sad about that.

Flight 823 is one of aviation's great mysteries. The Viscount is (well, was) a reliable aircraft (yes there were a lot of incidents but the survival rate was very good for passengers) and as mentioned the crew on this flight were first-class aviators. It just goes to show that sometimes "stuff" just happens.

The accident - what, with a missing passenger falling from the plane and an in-flight fire - bears striking yet eerie similarity to the Nigerian Airways flight 2120 disaster which happened over Jeddah. It was the deadliest accident involving a DC-8 and I find it extremely interesting to research. Perhaps the cause of that accident - a fault in a landing gear which lead to a fire in the landing gear well that rapidly spread - could be the cause of this one? I would 100% watch a video about it with your awesome narration and storytelling style!

Please do Speedbird 9! It's my favourite plane incident and has the world's biggest understatement: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is you captain speaking. All four engines have stopped and we're doing our damndest to get them going again. I hope you're not in too much distress."

Your narration in this is beyond exceptional. This case in particular seems eerie for the most part.

Pilot: "Uhh, this is your captain speaking, and while you are all aware of the bad news the good news is that you are completely justified in whatever panicked actions you have dreamed of. Personally, I will be activating all fire supression systems, throwing the windows open, and rushing the cabin with a fire extinguisher." Lawyer: "Well, this is my stop." *pulls door release and steps into the void

So much respect for the community where the crash location was. Opening homes to clean up crews & investigators, holding memorial services on anniversaries of the crash, etc. They set the bar high for those in similar situations on how we should react to others in need of assistance.💟
