Air Crash Investigation s05e08 part 1 of 5- “Who’s at the controls? (fatal distraction)”
One of the most fascinating episodes so far... Also: Check in Wikipedia, how in a bizzare way a very same landing gear issue had led ...


@Ladiesman217n That was my initial thought as well. But investigation made it look like that they knew the gear was lowered, but just didn’t know whether it was locked since the green indicator light didn’t come on.
Bob Marcus is my hero, I cried when I first saw this episode.
christmas carols in a swamp after an aircrash?….eerie
Boy, I remember that like it was last night. God Bless those workers and God Bles you Mrs. Trudy Smith.
When i heard the people sing christmas choirs that really made me tear up .
@TRUEorFAKE then you should relook the series
@wizzair1313 A lot of them. I’m just saying that its probably because of the increased air traffic in the US
@TRUEorFAKE NO WAY!!!!!!!!
the first rule of flying is to fly the plane first no matter what the issue is. the should have done a fly by on the tower and have tower check the gear but no where dose tower give 401 a go or no go for the nose gear instead the tower tells 401 to change freqs until they fix the prob even though the autopilot can fly the plane the pilot still has to constantly monitor its status im a pilot myself and this rule my flight instructor drilled into my head
1 chopper only?
it appears that almost all aircrashes featured on this show involve american faults?
i learned about this i english on a storie we had to check ovber the puncuation and capitals
@00Billy
What a bunch of goofball pilots! Oops we forgot to fly the freakin plane!
God Bless all frog farmers!
3:19 the passengers singing Silent Night just destroyed me. They were trying to help each other. Give each other hope…. even though death is right there with you. It’s so sad.

Guy at 7:29 smoking haha jet fuel soaked swamp and a nasty addiction. could have killed em all.
Did that girl Lilly live?
Aww if this is terrifying for me. It must be excruciatingly terrifying for them.
All it takes is a lit cigarette and a fart and POOF. Everybody dies.
Of course, by no means to detract from their experience.
its a legitimate a concern though, and even if its not, at least at the time for the people who were there it was a concern they lived through regardless of how unreal or unlikely it is.
I think they did it for effect. Video is a visual art and, well, you can’t see vapors!
My thoughts exactly!
