727 Staged Plane Crash

This was shot last year for Curiosity on Discovery Channel and Plane Crash on Channel4. This Boeing 727 was flown remotely into the Mexican desert to document what effects a plane crash has and to see where the safest areas of the aircraft are.

Air Transat 236 Glides into Azores - Re Enactment

On 24 August 2001, Air Transat Flight 236 (TSC236) ran out of fuel while flying over the Atlantic Ocean. The pilots of the aircraft safely glided and landed the aircraft at a naval base in the island of Azores. The fuel starvation was caused by improper maintenance work, which allowed a hydraulic oil pipe and a fuel pipe to rub together, resulting in the fracture of the fuel pipe and consequent leak.

 

Asiana 214 crash reconstruction in San Francisco

This is a reconstruction of AAR214 crashing during landing in San Francisco (KSFO).

"The in-depth reconstruction was created by a former airline pilot and gives the clearest indication so far of what exactly made Asiana Flight 214 crash-land at San Francisco International Airport.

Former Boeing 727 pilot Jack Suchocki inserted the light blue "ghost plane" to show how the pilot should have approached the runway.

In order to build the most accurate picture, Suchocki relied upon press releases from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as well as crew statements and radar data.

The audio features the actual plane and emergency communications."

Bagram 747 Crash - April 29th, 2013

This is the video shot of the National Air Cargo plane crashing in Bagram, Iraq following a load shift. The 747-400 was carrying 5 military vehicles when they shifted shortly after takeoff.



The cargo slammed so hard at the back of the aircraft, that parts of the aircraft separated and wiring in the back was severed. As result of the shift and loss of aircraft parts the center of gravity moved so far back, that the attitude of the aircraft could no longer be controlled, the nose of the aircraft rose beyond the flying envelope of the aircraft and the aircraft stalled destroying the aircraft and killing all crew in the resulting impact.
