    I'm watching this while waiting for boarding, I'm keeping an eye for Smithsonian camera crew, If I see them I won't board.

    My father is a flight attendant in iran, working for Aseman airlines. A few years back there was a crash with no survivors(Iran Aseman Airlines Flight 3704 ) I came back from school and started watching tv, when i saw the news i was shaking in fear, i called my dad only to hear him crying and telling me all his friends are dead. I will never forget that day, but as a child i thought at least it's not that much of a painful death, until a few weeks back that my father was coming back from Zahedan, moments after taking off one of the engines blew, they barely made it out alive cause of the captain's experience in flights. Now i watched this video and I'm thinking that how much hard it was for my dad to handle death of his friends because he knows exactly how it feels when something goes wrong up there, Dad i know you never see this comment but i love you and I'm proud of having a dad like you. Ps : due to iran being boycotted by many powerful countries due to political reasons, there are many many engine failures happening here on a daily basis and we're literally using the airforce left from SHAH which goes back to 1979. We were still using Boeing 727 until almost 2 years ago. ;)
  • 7:05 That second one with the fire where everyone made it out. The flight attendants should be given awards and huge recognition for that one. ❤️
  • How these pilots keep their cool during these situations is a skill in itself, rest in peace all of the innocent people and pilots that lost their lives.
  • @hackedagent1008
    To those who died in the crash, may rest in peace, always remember yall
  • Ben Levy is probably the most courageous man I know.. At that kind of a situation.. He opened the cabin door.. Helped all the passengers get out.. Then get help himself.. All of this while knowing that the plane could explode due to engine failure at any moment.. This man not only was one of the most courageous but also showed what it meant to be truly HUMAN..
  • @Reeseybaby
    Wow it's crazy what the aviation industry goes through when something goes wrong. Much respect to these pilots and crew for keeping they composure. RIP to the ones that pass away
  • @carterquint295
    for anyone confused, a ghost jet is when the crew or pilots are incapacitated and autopilot keeps it in the air until it runs out of fuel
  • I don't care what anyone says about Sully, I'm from Louisiana and that landing on the Levee is legendary. The Capt doesn't get enough credit.
  • @burkelong4376
    This series is addictive. We watch an episode several times a week. Most of them are fascinating.
  • @dancingcarapace
    Mad respect to the Asiana Air Passenger, Ben Levy. Takes a lot of courage and kindness to risk your own life for strangers, making sure they get off first.
  • @rse_0122
    You know it's bad when there's no interview with the pilots themselves.
  • Condolences to all those who perished in the airline accidents. My heart goes out to them.
  • @alaynaalison
    emory 17 is so heartbreaking knowing how the pilots fought so hard to gain control again 🙁
  • @LEELOLKH
    I love how the attendants and the pilots will try their best to their last minutes to save passengers. Respect.
  • @TheOreoOverlord
    I liked the ones where people survived. The "there were no survivors" make me sick. They are just so sad 🙁
  • Flight 2121 was impressive. The pilots kept the plane in the air and tried their best to control it and made it to the airport while the fire was engulfing the rest of the plane.
