Falling from the Sky at Over 18,000 Feet per Minute | The Plane That Flew Too High

1/ one doesn’t use vertical speed mode to climb……best way to end up in a stall
2/ One NEVER avoid thunderstorms by trying to fly over them, especially in these parts of the world where they mushroom up to 50 000 ft.
You fly around them, minimum distance of 20 NM to be increased depending of one’s altitude and wind. Upwind preferably.
No rocket science. Just common sense.
The almost exact same accident happened in 2009…..Air France 447 stalling over the Atlantic……different causes……same reaction.

The poor F/O, his life was just beginning...

I'm sure there were also many other young people on this ill-fated flight, how tragic.

Next time can you please place the song title?

Can someone explain to me a stall? I know it’s when a plane is unable to gain height and the nose is pointing up a bit but I still don’t get it

21 year old co Pilot 😮

I’m sorry that wasn’t pilot error that was AIRLINE error how can a pilot know how to recover from something they haven’t been trained for let alone paid for!! Absolutely disgraceful

It is absolutely vital that air crews know the aircraft's performance envelope, keep up with technical bulletins, and understand the limitations of on-board equipment. Obviously this airline was run as a cash cow for its owners, who likely should have been jailed.

Tragic. Even more tragic because this flight had enough altitude to actually recover from the stall if they had simply nosed down. Many fatal stalls happen without enough altitude to recover.

Something about non-U.S. or non-U.K., overseas trained pilots....idk....they just make the stupidest mistakes.

Judging by the way the aircraft looks it was not Made for the conditions it was in

I mean to say the least that plane should have been salvaged years ago

I've watched so many of these my mind literally tells me I can recover a stalled jet liner along with a handful of other air emergencies. Lol

The plane is yelling Stall, Stall, Stall. How the fuck could the captain miss this?

For the millionth time, a plane goes into a stall and one pilot or another yanks back, back, back, on the stick and keeps doing it. Its like the atavistic hindbrain takes over and throttles the higher functions.

That had to be the three most terrifying minutes. I can’t even imagine it.

Airplane: STALL STALL STALL

Me: Ok guys, nose down and gain speed. Should be fine…guys, just go nose down! WHY ARE YOU RAISING THE NOSE?! These guys are screwed. Smh

My brother in law was a pilot and also a flight instructor. He said nearly all plane crashes are due to pilot error. Very few are mechanical/computer errors.

Do these get paid to kill people?

at 18000 ' per min. From cruising height to ground 2 mins.

Oh, wonderful,

All airplane crashes are sad, but the ones like this that have such an easy and basic solution (recovering from a stall) are particularly upsetting. I just hope most everybody was asleep.

Probably a dumb comment from a non-pilot, but the auto-pIlot reacting to near stall speed by pitching the nose up makes no sense to me.

I lived in the Caribbean for a year, and the late summer weather consisted of one brutal storm after another. All the while the temperatures stayed in the 90’s. I would avoid travel in the area during this period.

I love how investigators primarily blame pilots for the tragedies .

Hello I am your captain I do not understand English but thank you for flying moron airlines

The truth is there's nothing preventing companies like West Caribbean Airways to endanger peoples' lives. No one cares.

Now I worry I'll never fly again. I know too much now

Watching the flight channel should be mandatory for all pilots as part of their training! I'm no pilot but through countless hours on this channel i now know what not to do in case of a stall!! May all the passengers and crew RIP

Doesn't it seem odd that the co-pilot was a 21 year-old?

totally crazy why the pilots crashed the plane instead of landing safely at the airport. totally disunderstandable.

Oh no the plane stalled and dropping to the ocean like a stone. I know what to do. I'll immediately put nose up and make it worse. Seriously, where do all these 'pilots' come from? makes me angry

Thank you for flying "Third World Shithole Airlines," I'm your pilot and also yesterday's bartender speaking.

It's so sad how many people have died because of pilot error.

Hopefully I'll be heavily sedated on my next flight. 😳

That happens an hour away from my town in Venezuela

Can you fix your graphics so the don’t bleed off the edge of the tv screen?

Why would someone from Martinique go on vacation to Panama?

"The plane that flew too high" reminds me of lifeboat airlines 27b on a game called roblox. No offense or disrespect. just similarity.

Watching this channel makes you actually realise just how many plane crashes there have been over the years..most of them I have never even heard of. I always felt safe going on a plane as I hadn't heard of that many crashes but after watching this channel, well...😬🤔

How Many Times Does That "Lady" Have To Say Stall To Those Pilots!?

Seems like a lot of these air crashes are due to circumstances coming up which divert the pilot's attention from maintaining sufficient airspeed.

Anyone else always find these vids right before you’re about to go on a plane

Addicted to this channel sad but true videos

Old plane. Third-world crew.

Question, Ive never flown before so Im curious, would everyone on board feel the drop in altitude? What would that even feel like?

>"correctly diagnosed as a stall"
>The plane is literally yelling that it's stalling

10 degrés d'assiette.

So avoidable. I wonder how many people would have gotten on that plane knowing all of these problems beforehand? They should have been grounded when they couldn't even pay their pilots & help. So many lives lost for not even one good reason. Makes a person angry.

Pitched up for the entire stall descent? That’s crazy.
