San Francisco
July 6th, 2013

A Boeing triple seven carrying over 300 people begins sinking towards the water, on its final approach to San Francisco. The passengers are oblivious to the danger they are in, but the pilots are confused about why their aircraft isn’t responding. Horrified onlookers watch as the massive plane desperately tries to climb. The captain slams the throttle levers fully forwards, but has he done this soon enough to save the plane?

This is the story of Asiana Airlines flight 214.

  • this is tragic but also embarrassing that with 4 pilots in the cockpit, they messed up in perfect landing conditions
  • My goodness, your editing skills have gotten so much better than a year ago! You will continue to be my favorite aviation channel. Bravo!
  • @AlonsoRules
    These pilots managed to crash a perfectly functional aircraft short of the runway during the day, in perfect weather and with no wind issues. Absolutely unforgivable airmanship.
  • @TheSateef
    "the crew were high and fast, the last place you'd want to be on any approach!", i'd say low and slow is the last place
  • Its just unexplainable how the crew didnt choose to do a go around here. Especially at 500 feet,but also before this point.
  • @orangebleach
    one of my favourite things about those videos (writing and editing skills aside – they are immaculate) – the community. how thankful everyone is for those videos. thank you green dot!
  • @Klearith
    Perfect timing. I love listening to you talk about aviation accidents while baking 😂
  • I'm blown away by the quality of this video. I'm not yet finished watching but I felt like I had to say this. And those night shots of the 777 reminded me of another recent video...
  • @annanymous03
    Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago pretty much by accident. I lived in Ireland for half a year when I was 15 and I still miss it 5 years later, so hearing your accent really caught me and sent me down memory lane. I think I‘ve watched about 10 of you videos now and I‘m staying for the amazing storytelling, analysis and breakdown!
  • @emmaxop3613
    I'm honestly amazed by how easily this situation could've been avoided.
  • This channel continues to pump out extremely high quality content, nice work. Always a delight when I see your posts on my feed
  • @iaretzeee
    the quality of the animations have gotten so much better, absolutely love the way you narrate and explain little details - love the content, please never stop <3
  • @xhighway999
    I had to pause the video to catch the subtle camera shake at 14:06. Man, your editing skills are getting better with every video!
  • @Lemjj
    Crazy how 4 decently experienced pilot could ignore so many errors that a student pilot would notice
  • It's really surprising that there were "only" 3 fatalities given what this plane went through once it was close to the ground (one of them being from the SFFD accident). The video of the crash from an airport building where you can see the aircraft flipping around showed how violent the crash was, and even with all this tumbling only one person inside died.
  • When your videos drop I stop all activities until I'm done watching them.
  • @jocax188723
    Not sure which is more outrageous; the fact that the news coverage of the crash was used to make racist name jokes, or the fact that one of the passengers thrown from the aircraft on impact survived, and was subsequently immediately killed by a rescue vehicle running her over.

    Thanks for the videos! I wish you all the best for your flying exams.
