Prolific air crashes throughout history 6x6 wojak compass | /r/PoliticalCompassMemes

IBERIA 1456 EMIRATES 231 They were blindly following their instruments and not even looking out their window, and the autopilot was set to an altitude of zero so they almost crashed because they let the autopilot do all the work An Airbus A320 autopilot went all "I can't do that, Dave" on the human pilots and forced the plane to land in dangerous conditions Airbus modified the software to allow pilots more freedom, but many pilots remain spooked by its power IBERIA 610 A striking pilot had recently been reinstated with no pay and, disgruntled, took an alternative route into the airport in revenge On the morning of 9/11, the plane was hijacked by Islamic extremists and destined for an unknown target KOREAN AIR LINES 007 ALASKA 261 A Korean Airlines They mistook it 747 wandered off-course and into the Soviet Union for an American spy plane and shot it down with no survivors Conspiracy theorists say it was a CIA front but I'm not so sure Pilots of a 757 wanted to divert airports because of bad weather, but decided not to because then they would get in trouble with their employer But because he usually took a different route, he set the landing autopilot wrong and made a controlled (albeit accidental) descent into terrain CHENN 17 But the passengers knew what was happening and staged a heroic revolt, in which everyone died but a lot of lives were saved Or maybe it was shot down, who knows? Radar and transponders were off, so neither pilots nor ATC knew where they were The air traffic controller tried to raise the alarm but couldn't because the button was broken No help came for almost an hour and a passenger had to walk across the runway to tell them the plane crashed VARIG 254 737 that just...got lost A Boeing 777 that nearly crashed on takeoff It got dark and they tried to navigate by basic compasses and even Morse Code BEB Pilots told passengers they were crashing and the passengers looted the galley and drank as much as they could Pilots resigned themselves to death but almost everyone lived They trekked through the jungle for two days to safety Turns out that this is common throughout the airline, where pilots rely fully on automation without flying themselves BRITANNIA 226| LINATE AIRPORT So they attempting a landing at night in a thunderstorm, suffered from vertigo, crashed short of the runway, lost electrical power, and slid along the runway for its entire length Pilots had become "automation managers" and were personally out of practice An MD-83 had mechanical issues and needed to land, but Alaska Airlines operations urged them not to, in order to maintain the timetable UNITED 93 TURKISH 1951 DAN AIR 1008 Autopilot thought plane was just above ground throughout approach and kept bringing throttle to idle, causing plane to stall and crash An air traffic controller gave a Boeing 727 landing at Tenerife the wrong approach instructions and despite knowing it had to be wrong they just kind of...accepted it Inexperienced pilots with a faulty altimeter on a 737 Circled over the rainforest for hours and tried to follow a local radio station, which only led them deeper into the wilderness Toronto to Portugal The vertical stabilizer broke and forced them into a dive, but although they could have tried to land, they knew their jet was irrecoverable and they heroically flew the plane out to sea, where it crashed, aving countless lives on the ground Pilots had to fill out tons of paperwork and they were under pressure to get moving so they rushed through the checklist so they could take off again A330 flying from SPANAIR 5022 | SMARTLYNX 9001 Plane had to turn back before takeoff due to a technical malfunction They took off and crashed ten seconds later, killing almost everyone The investigation revealed that it was their zeal to go back and do paperwork that led to their frantic rushing through the checklist later Pilots simply didn't notice the stall DISASTER The airport's taxi signs were worn and overrun by high grass Because of the fog the controllers didn't see the crash, but they heard it, shrugged it off, and continued working as normal In heavy fog two planes that couldn't read the signs collided when one of them accidentally wandered onto the runway, killing everyone in a massive fireball It took 10 minutes for rescue services to be called It was the worst air disaster in Italian history AIR FRANCE 11 Two pilots on a 777 made contradictory moves and didn't tell each other, so they each thought separately the plane was broken and refused to communicate This nearly killed everyone as the plane went into a dive, but just before they impacted Paris they realized what was wrong and pulled out calmly Pilot was a literal convicted drug smuggler who had just gotten out of prison There was a massive fuel leak and they ran out of fuel over the Atlantic Through a series of unorthodox tactics, he landed safely When a fire started in the cockpit of an MD-11 on a transatlantic flight, the pilots calmly followed the checklist rather than head immediately for the nearest airport The fire meanwhile spread and became uncontrollable, and the plane crashed into the Atlantic, killing everyone Air France has taken no action to address this issue because the Fr*nch are too arrogant Training flight for new pilots III AXC Afterward, the checklist was amended to make sure pilots dealt with getting on the ground first, before trying to investigate the cause As they went for one of many landings, the plane adopted a mind of its own and started flying itself, and there was nothing anyone aboard could do about it SWISSAIR 111 SRIWIJAWA AIR 182 URUGUAYAN 571 | QANTAS 001 Landing a 747 in a torrential downpour, the pilot was so confident in his abilities that despite every other plane conducting go- arounds, he went for Qantas was so a landing devoted to maintaining its perfect record of never having lost a plane that, at great expense, they salvaged the hull and put it back into service Plane made a series of massive climbs and dives but they were able to wrestle it back onto the runway employees aboard a chartered Japan Air Lines flight traveling to Denmark became violently ill after being served omelettes contaminated with staph infections They flew into fog, got lost, and slammed into a mountain, killing everyone instantly The controllers' poor English and the lack of radar was blamed AIR TRANSAT 236 AIR CANADA 143 Because the pilots didn't know how to convert to the metric system, the flight left with half as much fuel as necessary and ran dry over the Canadian wilderness Turns out that the chef who prepared the omelettes had a staph infection and open wounds on his fingertips For two hours before landing in Copenhagen, the plane was full of vomiting and s------- passengers, who all had to be hospitalized when they got there Caterer killed himself THAI 311 Two pilots were heavily influenced by Thai hierarchy at the time: the pilot came from an affluent family and was earmarked as a captain early on; the copilot struggled for his position but would never advance beyond it because of the societal structure Captain said "oh, f---." There was nothing in the manual that addressed fuel starvation The pilot used glider tactics to land without nose gear and was lauded as a hero although Air Canada demoted him Pilot took complete responsibility for the aircraft, against regulation, because he thought co-pilot was an inferior person because of the class he had been born into Pilots relied too much on autopilot, assuming it would do all the work for them Captain was so stubborn and aggressive that he got lost, flew into the Himalayas, and hit a mountain There were four captains aboard, but two were going through retraining But the autopilot had an error and changed engine thrust too much QANTAS 32 A380 from Singapore to Sydney 747 flying from Honolulu to Auckland Plane spun out and captain was disbelieving that the autopilot went wrong that he didn't adjust it, and the plane dove into the ocean Both the plane and its pilots were ancient; this was the captain's last flight before retiring Nevertheless, they had more experience than the real captain, so there were heated power dynamics in the cockpit Then an engine exploded Molten pieces of debris plummeted onto Singapore They landed safely and nobody was hurt - they learned teamwork after all! AMERICAN In wind and thunderstorms so bad that every other flight diverted, an American Airlines MD-88 attempted a landing anyway The captain was knighted, but on his way back to Australia, his flight's engine failed 1572 The control tower had been evacuated, so they went for the landing alone, and approached way lower than regulations They clipped a hill and swore profusely as they went down Incredibly, everyone lived with only minor injuries The plane rapidly depressurized over the Pacific, but the oxygen masks weren't working With a giant hole in the fuselage, the pilots flew 120 kilometers back to Hawaii "What a hell of a thing to happen on your last flight," said the first officer BIRGINAIR 301 AMERICAN 11 When an airspeed indicator started glitching On September 11, 2001, it was hijacked by Islamic extremists and flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on a 757 flight over the Atlantic Ocean, the captain insisted that the real indicator was wrong and the glitching one was right, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary Even when the flight stalled and his colleagues begged him to listen to reason, the pilot refused to believe he was wrong "No s---," said the pilot Boeing covered up the initial NTSB ruling to save money ARC The plane stalled due to the accumulated ice and plummeted into the Potomac A charter flight carrying a rugby team to Chile crashed in the Andes MD-88 coming into land at LGA in snowy conditions 21-1 The plane plummeted into the ocean and everyone died Over the next two months, the survivors lived in the snow and ate the dead (despite their universal Catholicism) until they gathered strength to walk to rescue DELTA 1086 HAPAG-LLOYD 3378 The elderly pilot, embarrassed and not wanting to make a fuss, kept flying like normal When the plane ran out of fuel and he was forced to divert, he quietly requested that this not be made into a whole emergency situation Both pilots were ex-military and they were really spooked by runway conditions JAL CHARTER UNITED 811 AIR ASIA 8501 ADAM AIR 574 197 Coca-Cola Poorly-trained pilots trying to cover their asses and protect their jobs were flying an under-maintained 737 due to widespread cost-cutting and neglectful ground crew The plane went into a dive and the pilots were too arrogant to ask for help but they didn't know how to recover, so they crashed with no survivors A320 flying over Indonesia in thunderstorms The plane ran off the runway but the snow was so thick that ATC didn't know, and they kept clearing planes to land on the damaged runway Evacuation took almost 30 minutes, which is crazy, but everyone lived The pilot was known for being an authoritarian a------ and the copilot was known for being lazy and rushing through his work, and they didn't get along They bickered so much that they forgot to pressurize the aircraft and everyone passed out HELIOS 522 SOUTH AFRICAN 295 During Apartheid, a civilian South African Airways 747 was illegally smuggling weapons from Taiwan to South Africa when these weapons caught fire over the Indian Ocean, causing an emergency The Greek Air Force intercepted the plane but there was nothing they could do The plane crashed and all were killed Turns out the plane was poorly inspected as well Just laziness all around Onboard computer kept giving warning lights, so pilot broke procedure and ripped the circuit breakers out, but this made autopilot go crazy and force the plane into a stall was ex- Pilot, who military, tried to recover the situation but the plane crashed with no survivors An Airbus couldn't retract its gear so it burnt fuel much more quickly than usual It was the most- successful religion-based terrorist attack of all time They came within 1,000 meters of plowing into another Emirates 777 taxiing across the runway before slamming on the brakes Incredibly, despite the huge incident they had just caused, the crew, again without permission, turned around and did it again, and continued their flight as normal in an effort to cover up what they said on the cockpit voice recorder The aircraft hydroplaned, he panicked, and he overran the runway The plane crashed and the pilot tried to cover-up his refusal to declare an emergency AIR FLORIDA 90 EMIRATES 224 ADRIA 1308 An Emirates 777 crew, despite not receiving clearance to take off, went for a takeoff anyway Reckless and rule-breaking pilots didn't take proper precautions in an effort not to be late, so they made a series of mistakes that compounded icing on their aircraft as it took off in wintry conditions They made jokes about the Feds immediately before their plane went down that was overfilled to maximize profits 31) Rather than land at the nearest airport, which would cause SAA to be banned and their country to be internationally- condemned, the pilots chose to try and press on to Mauritius The plane burned quickly and broke up over the Indian Ocean and the airline threatened anyone who tried to expose the truth Slovenian tourist Passengers partied charter MD-82 during the flight and even drank in the cockpit A little kid tried to sit on their laps and they kept missing approach information They descended into a cloud and crashed into a mountain Everyone died

blamed AIR TRANSAT 236 AIR CANADA 143 Because the pilots didn't know how to convert to the metric system, the flight left with half as much fuel as necessary and ran dry over the Canadian wilderness Turns out that the chef who prepared the omelettes had a staph infection and open wounds on his fingertips For two hours before landing in Copenhagen, the plane was full of vomiting and s------- passengers, who all had to be hospitalized when they got there Caterer killed himself THAI 311 Two pilots were heavily influenced by Thai hierarchy at the time: the pilot came from an affluent family and was earmarked as a captain early on; the copilot struggled for his position but would never advance beyond it because of the societal structure Captain said "oh, f---." There was nothing in the manual that addressed fuel starvation The pilot used glider tactics to land without nose gear and was lauded as a hero although Air Canada demoted him Pilot took complete responsibility for the aircraft, against regulation, because he thought co-pilot was an inferior person because of the class he had been born into Pilots relied too much on autopilot, assuming it would do all the work for them Captain was so stubborn and aggressive that he got lost, flew into the Himalayas, and hit a mountain There were four captains aboard, but two were going through retraining But the autopilot had an error and changed engine thrust too much QANTAS 32 A380 from Singapore to Sydney 747 flying from Honolulu to Auckland Plane spun out and captain was disbelieving that the autopilot went wrong that he didn't adjust it, and the plane dove into the ocean Both the plane and its pilots were ancient; this was the captain's last flight before retiring Nevertheless, they had more experience than the real captain, so there were heated power dynamics in the cockpit Then an engine exploded Molten pieces of debris plummeted onto Singapore They landed safely and nobody was hurt - they learned teamwork after all! AMERICAN In wind and thunderstorms so bad that every other flight diverted, an American Airlines MD-88 attempted a landing anyway The captain was knighted, but on his way back to Australia, his flight's engine failed 1572 The control tower had been evacuated, so they went for the landing alone, and approached way lower than regulations They clipped a hill and swore profusely as they went down Incredibly, everyone lived with only minor injuries The plane rapidly depressurized over the Pacific, but the oxygen masks weren't working With a giant hole in the fuselage, the pilots flew 120 kilometers back to Hawaii "What a hell of a thing to happen on your last flight," said the first officer BIRGINAIR 301 AMERICAN 11 When an airspeed indicator started glitching On September 11, 2001, it was hijacked by Islamic extremists and flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on a 757 flight over the Atlantic Ocean, the captain insisted that the real indicator was wrong and the glitching one was right, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary Even when the flight stalled and his colleagues begged him to listen to reason, the pilot refused to believe he was wrong "No s---," said the pilot Boeing covered up the initial NTSB ruling to save money ARC The plane stalled due to the accumulated ice and plummeted into the Potomac A charter flight carrying a rugby team to Chile crashed in the Andes MD-88 coming into land at LGA in snowy conditions 21-1 The plane plummeted into the ocean and everyone died Over the next two months, the survivors lived in the snow and ate the dead (despite their universal Catholicism) until they gathered strength to walk to rescue DELTA 1086 HAPAG-LLOYD 3378 The elderly pilot, embarrassed and not wanting to make a fuss, kept flying like normal When the plane ran out of fuel and he was forced to divert, he quietly requested that this not be made into a whole emergency situation Both pilots were ex-military and they were really spooked by runway conditions JAL CHARTER UNITED 811 AIR ASIA 8501 ADAM AIR 574 197 Coca-Cola Poorly-trained pilots trying to cover their asses and protect their jobs were flying an under-maintained 737 due to widespread cost-cutting and neglectful ground crew The plane went into a dive and the pilots were too arrogant to ask for help but they didn't know how to recover, so they crashed with no survivors A320 flying over Indonesia in thunderstorms The plane ran off the runway but the snow was so thick that ATC didn't know, and they kept clearing planes to land on the damaged runway Evacuation took almost 30 minutes, which is crazy, but everyone lived The pilot was known for being an authoritarian a------ and the copilot was known for being lazy and rushing through his work, and they didn't get along They bickered so much that they forgot to pressurize the aircraft and everyone passed out HELIOS 522 SOUTH AFRICAN 295 During Apartheid, a civilian South African Airways 747 was illegally smuggling weapons from Taiwan to South Africa when these weapons caught fire over the Indian Ocean, causing an emergency The Greek Air Force intercepted the plane but there was nothing they could do The plane crashed and all were killed Turns out the plane was poorly inspected as well Just laziness all around Onboard computer kept giving warning lights, so pilot broke procedure and ripped the circuit breakers out, but this made autopilot go crazy and force the plane into a stall was ex- Pilot, who military, tried to recover the situation but the plane crashed with no survivors An Airbus couldn't retract its gear so it burnt fuel much more quickly than usual It was the most- successful religion-based terrorist attack of all time They came within 1,000 meters of plowing into another Emirates 777 taxiing across the runway before slamming on the brakes Incredibly, despite the huge incident they had just caused, the crew, again without permission, turned around and did it again, and continued their flight as normal in an effort to cover up what they said on the cockpit voice recorder The aircraft hydroplaned, he panicked, and he overran the runway The plane crashed and the pilot tried to cover-up his refusal to declare an emergency AIR FLORIDA 90 EMIRATES 224 ADRIA 1308 An Emirates 777 crew, despite not receiving clearance to take off, went for a takeoff anyway Reckless and rule-breaking pilots didn't take proper precautions in an effort not to be late, so they made a series of mistakes that compounded icing on their aircraft as it took off in wintry conditions They made jokes about the Feds immediately before their plane went down that was overfilled to maximize profits 31) Rather than land at the nearest airport, which would cause SAA to be banned and their country to be internationally- condemned, the pilots chose to try and press on to Mauritius The plane burned quickly and broke up over the Indian Ocean and the airline threatened anyone who tried to expose the truth Slovenian tourist Passengers partied charter MD-82 during the flight and even drank in the cockpit A little kid tried to sit on their laps and they kept missing approach information They descended into a cloud and crashed into a mountain Everyone died
