The pilot is a living probability paradox, he has luck so cartoonishly abysmal it causes planes to gain sentience, yet has the skill to overcome it every time This man deserves to be respected and studied

Mad respect to you forgoing the extra mile and getting the captain for an interview

The fact he actively told the other crew member to take deep breaths while going through all this is absolutely astounding. Really really impressive.

what an absolute fucking monster of a crew. from being passengers on their own plane to fighting back and rising up to the tasks ahead and saving 315 lives from certain death. massive kudos to them

The most distressing part of these incredible videos is thinking the issue is rectified and seeing you have another 20 minutes remaining

It's always so cool when you manage to get an interview with the pilots involved into those accidents

This should literally be made into a movie. What an amazing captain - what amazing pilots.

Loved your detailed posting. Years ago, myself and 3 daughters were booked on Quantas out of Vancouver for Hawaii. The plane did not take off (or even liad passengers)... rather from a bird in one engine, it was determined a new engine had to be shipped, installed, configured and flight readiness determined. It took 2 days to make the repairs. Then a trial flight by Quantas staff, engineers, etc. Took place. We eventually were loaded on the plane, and while liquor was liberally offered, we eventually made it to Honolulu. Its an example of why Quantas has such a great safety record.

This is a huge step forward in your channel getting the pilot interviewed. Keep your shit going, I love your content. You deserve much more recognition than most channels and actual TV shows.

I was flying in a Piper Lance not more than 150km from this incident at the exact time. It was a beautiful day for flying. As the "may day may day" was audible through our headphones there was the most eerily of moments as both myself and my mate turned and looked at each other.......we sat in total silence and listened to the conversation between the pilots and air traffic control. We knew exactly what was happening in real time. Absolutely frightening and surreal on another level.

There is something about the energy you get when the plane lands and the engines go into reverse and then the calm quietness and subtle relief everyone has that they’re safe, coming out and thanking the captain. It almost makes you want to cry in how much these people hold your life in their hands.

What an absolute class act of a pilot and human being. Many pilots, even those highly rated amongst other pilots and with spotless records would have struggled to fight this plane back onto the ground in one piece. And he comes accross so humble too, he's just a man who did his job, and in doing so saved the lives of hundreds of people. Captain Sullivan, and this whole crew in general, are heroes and inspirations to many.

They were definitely lucky that it was daytime. I can’t imagine them dealing with this at night or in crazy weather

And this brilliantly illustrates why the people in the cockpit need to be PILOTS and not just computer operators.

Excellent work communicating the moment-by-moment, edge of the seat tension, while not getting bogged down by so much minutia that a civilian outside the industry, like me, would struggle to fully comprehend the sequence of events and their significance during this near-disaster. I was easily able to grasp everything you and the captain said. In particular, all of those analogies greatly aided my understanding. Thank you!

A perfect example of why automation is not only an amazing brilliant innovation of the future but a terrifying pho when going wrong

I'm only 38 minutes into this video. I've never heard of this flight and sweet Jesus... the fact that these pilots were able to keep calm in a situation this crazy is astounding to me.

Congratulations to Captain Sullivan and his crew. You guys are true heroes. While people were injured, some quite badly, you three landed that plane and everyone survived. To say I'm impressed is a massive understatement. Wonderful job.

Listening to stories like this is exactly why I always keep my seatbelt on whenever I'm on a plane except to get up and use the restroom. I don't want to be another problem on the plane for the crew to deal with when there's already enough ignorance on the lance to go around. Be a solution, not a problem. Keep that seatbelt on.
