Seconds after takeoff from London, both engines blow wide open on a British Airways Airbus A319. Terrified passengers look on in horror as fluid streaks from the exposed engines. The pilots declare an emergency, and turn back towards the airport immediately. But will they be able to make it back to the runway before time runs out? This is the story of British Airways flight 762.

    The presence of mind required to turn the plane at the last second to put the engine downwind from the cabin shows how immensely focused and will trained the captain was
  • For those interested, the NEO engines do have sensors to give an ECAM alert if the cowl doors are not closed
  • I prefer videos a lot where the plane makes it somehow. It’s just so much more interesting to see how pilots save an airplane than them failing at it.
  • Good Episode. Some small corrections from a 320 pilot: 9:10 None of the hydraulic systems can share fluid. The other systems would not have leaked from the same hole in the Yellow system. The purpose of shutting off the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) is to prevent the Green system from attempting to pressurize the Yellow system via the PTU. 17:05 It would be really unusual if the crew had not silenced the fire bell. It's normally silenced with the Master Warning button. Keeping it on would only serve to overwhelm your senses when they are already being stressed.
  • Ground staff heading to the wrong aircraft was literally shocking. It just made me feel forgetful in response to setting off on a job and forgetting after. Great vid as always!
  • @isaackeigwin
    Your keen informative style and mellow delivery has me hooked man. You’ve inspired a lot of interest in aviation, keep up the great work!
  • @moth2542
    such an incredible story, the captain and FO are true heroes for landing the plane safely and you told it so well!
  • @Frank787-9
    Best aviation accident channel on YouTube !! 🔥
  • The captain showed an amazing amount of competence and thoughtfulness on this one, right down to turning the plane at the end to put the burning engine downwind of the passengers.
  • @davidhynd4435
    This is one of the best aviation channels on YouTube. Well researched and thorough. Clear and articulate. Excellent.
  • You, Disaster Breakdown and Mentour are all competing for my favourite accident breakdown channel right now, you all bring such a unique angle even if it's the same accideny, it's great to see, keep it up!
  • Another excellent presentation from GDA. Accurately researched, all facts, no spin, opinion, drama. Your speaking voice, your cadence, iys all a natural for you and is highly professional. I've loved av channels for years but you are among the best, if not THE best, by a lot Top notch production, videography, flawless presentation. We value the hard work tbis takes to film, upload, edit, narrate etc etc each of these videos. We appreciate the hardwork and professionalism you pour into your work. We are blessed and you should ve very proudđź‘Ś

    Every episode keeps getting better! Editing, graphics, narration, soundtrack, cockpit animations…Congratulations!

    The one thing missing from the lessons learned/improved procedures list was something to ensure engineers are working on the aircraft they think they are working on.
  • @Jezza640
    Seriously man, the effort put into these videos is greatly appreciated. Even when I watch your videos about incidents or accidents I know well you bring up stuff I had no idea about. Fantastic work and please keep up the effort.
  • I spend around 5hrs watching your videos every day. You have a good style of presenting and you cover interesting crashes or incidents. Keep it up!
  • @GravyOverload
    you should cover the british airtours flight 28M accident at manchester, lots of good things to learn from it
  • @dlcpack9358
    Surprisingly haven’t heard of this incident, but very happy all on board survived. Great video!
