When you fly so high an altitude , the engines lack oxygen to ignite .

Captain forgot the first rule of any emergency in the air. Fly the damn plane. It seems way too many airline pilots lose their stick and rudder skills over time by always relying on autopilot for the vast majority of their seat time. If they ever had any to begin with. This is China weβre talking about. Something tells me competence and skill have never been the CCPβs top priorities in who gets chosen for prestigious jobs like 747 pilot.

Annnnd this is why you ALWAYS stay belted in. Even my service dog is tethered to something or under the seat to ensure he wont go flying around.

What aweful pilots. Things they should know but didnβt act on it
@Code_of_RealityThe guy that know what I'm seeing behind that plane Japan airlines
@JoelAbello-x1uChina airlines,as featured in your videos seems to be kinda dodgy
@AlistairGaleWhen other aircrafts lost all engines - managed to slowly glide the plane down. When China airline lost one out of four engines - free fall from the sky.
@angelflyinghigh1300The Taiwanese captain tried very hard at first to cover this huge accident upππππππ
@MrKang31The people in the bathroom ππππππππ
@Ashurhasaurathe final odd to being "great" airplane is too american markting.. if thd plane was safe, this would not ve happens.. end of story
@FH-ot3wo"boeing says they still want the crew too ve full control"... because its too expensive and we dont know how yo engineer such automatic safer plane.
@FH-ot3wohow xp crew can make mistakes, by flying a plane that is designed for profit and not security.
@FH-ot3wosure its pilot fault, totaly not the loosy design of boeing...
@FH-ot3woboeing "quality"
@FH-ot3wosi annoying this people use non sens measure unit. use meter like normal people FFS
@FH-ot3woBesides everything that may have taken place due to human error, it led to the correct conclusions, and they are, no matter what 100% heroes saved everyone.
@LostMahoniExtreme stress testing of 747
@haolu579This plane was repaired and flew it's last flight in 2005
@JStorm13It's so sad that so many passengers had to suffer through that torment because the captain forgot he was supposed to fly the plane.
@droolpuppy1398June2026: So..., after years of training to rely on instruments in clouds, these pilots panicked and relied on their inner ear. They believed only what they felt.
Not only that, they didn't know how their plane actually operated on autopilot. No understanding of mechanicals.
These pilots failed the most basic test and were flying thru life on autopilot! How about refresher courses?
1st 3 rules are: fly-the-plane, fly-the-plane, fly-the plane.
Retired in Sacto.
Alternate title: When the great emperor Gengis khan was forced to be a pilot..
@Rahdahn01The CVR is designed to tape over itself every 30 minutes? What? Never heard that before. Can't be true.
@HEXIMALISTvery few pilots could have done this
@seancook9192The comments of the birthday guy are so funny, he has so much humour after such an experience.
@JeanClaudeDescombesThese are great but PLEASE use the units of measurements that airplanes use. I get the rivalry and maybe this isn't American made, but kilometers and meters appear nowhere in air travel.
@redwoodcoaststudio1610Is that Jerry Lewis at 9:55?
@halcyonoutlander2105Boeing from yesteryear
@PreciouspinkLol its all ways the Human Errors never mind 4 Engine had problems π€
@mestizounsolo5545They are still heroes IMO
@johnp8830this is a great episode, you know, when ACI used to be great without DEI BS. This episode however, the plane depicted is B747-300, but the original plane in this incident was a B747SP or the Baby Jumbo - We miss ACI like they used to be when they made episodes like this one.
@Lusitania-j2gBlessings
@LMarch-lk4fqThe captain's initial decision not to divert was mind boggling. Good thing he eventually came to his senses.
@Mike-SharkeyData recorders survive planes being obliterated and under thoudands of feet of salt water but this flight recorder broke when the plane didnt even crash?
@lolpagedied"So what," I'm sorry but if I noticed that a light - that is SUPPOSED TO BE ON - wasn't on a wing, I'd be worried not saying "so what" as if it didn't matter.
Also, that ATC was annoying; constantly repeating his traffic. If he doesn't get a response, that should've been a bloody CLUE that something was wrong.
Prayers were answered that day, and everyone arrived home safely.
@Godkernel01My favorite episodes are when EVERYONE survives
@kimberlyporter9555The problem was the captain of a communist airline is like an Emperor. He made bad calls and led them to almost death. They don't question the captain, period
@Mark-sp6vqAnother exaggerated load of bullsh*t. ALL pilots are taught spin recovery on instruments. This cr*p about unable to do it without visual reference is just that = cr*p.
@PwrweProfessional Deformation
Normalcy bias by these bureaucrats and loyal company men underlies the near disasters in every one of these episodes that I've recently watched. And every one of the film consultants is always ready to serve up the cliched final assessment: All's well that ends well.
