#Air Crash Investigations

[thistaleisabloodyone]

God, watching a Mayday episode and a pilot, who luckily survived his plane going out of control, said, "At one point, I told my first officer to look out the window and find a dark spot - we didn't want to hit a neighborhood."

To stare death in the face, to have the same thing happen to you that took down two airplanes, killing everyone in them, and still go "I don't want to die, but if I have to, I am taking as few people with me as possible."

#mayday #air crash investigations #thistale watches #honestly pilots deserve so much credit #mayday tells so many stories of pilots who fought to their last breath to save their passengers #and the stories of pilots who were willing to do that but luckily didn't have to

Looks like the airline industry is hard at work coming up with the plots for new episodes of Mayday/Air Crash Investigations. 😒

#that big crash in Japan #then the door coming off a Boeing plane mid-flight because it wasn't bolted in properly #aircrafts #aviation #Boeing #plane crash #Air Crash Investigations

watching air crash investigations

Narrator calmly explaining “The pilots have lost what is referred to as ‘situational awareness’.”

60 seconds before hitting a mountain.

#air crash investigations #some episodes of air crash investigations are like 6 unrelated things go wrong but if one of them hadn’t everything would have been fine #some are like “fuckjhhfning stop overworking your maintenance workers!!” #But this one really just boils down to “the pilots werent paying attention to where their plane was going” yikes x_x

the hyperfixation on aircraft disasters has me considering the realities of the batplane

#batman #the average person does not understand the importance of air traffic control #shit we used to have people flying into each other constantly because our best bet was ‘just see the other plane and don’t fly into them’ #either the bat plane is communicating with atc or they have the worlds best anti collision technology #like for cruising just hand wave it that batman has made a plane that can go higher than any other plane that makes sense to me #but take offs and landings? #nah #yknow media always shows it just sort of setting down space ship style #(sci fi spaceships to be clear) #but most jets require miles of runway just to get into the air? #you can’t just do that in the middle of gotham #i’m not saying it’s impossible btw i’m actually interested in how that would work #also imagining ntsb investigating the bat plane crashing #local tin kicker: what in the goddamn—

Watching the Society of Snow because it's the perfect intersection between my fav interests: air crash investigations and the franklin expedition

#planes and cannibalism #society of snow #air crash investigation #franklin expedition

"safety regulations are written in blood" but now it's "the regulations worked so well that people are now unlearning them because they forgot why they were there in the first place"

is this about the Titan sub? well it is the one in the general public eye but no it's about airports because minor accidents are already happening and sooner or later it's going to be something big

#the air crash investigation watcher to aviation bleakness feel-er pipeline #there aren't enough pilots and ATC and everyone is overworked and underpaid and we're edging nearer and nearer to the brink #but it feels like nobody up there is doing anything #aviation

Why the hell does this show have FIVE DIFFERENT NAMES?!

Three in the US depending on which channel?!

#ashleybenlove posts #Air Crash Investigation #This just makes it harder for people who want to find the episode in question on that Gimli Glider post to actually find it

Air Crash Investigation: *reenactments of pilots and flight attendants rescuing passengers from air disasters*

Air Crash Investigation: “Four countries worked together to find out what happened to this plane”

Air Crash Investigation: “Investigators went into extremely inhospitable terrain/a fucking WAR ZONE to retrieve the wreckage”

Air Crash Investigation: “Investigators did something for the families of the victims to give them closure”

This fucking plane crash show has done more to heal my CPTSD-induced distrust in people than every “um sweaty you can’t just isolate yourself” post on Tumblr dot com.

Watching a Mayday episode - I know something is going to go wrong, it's a fucking Mayday episode, and they mentioned turning Engine #3 off because they were waiting on the taxi way, and then they got moved up the priority line to go and now I'm sitting here like "Did you turn Engine #3 back on? Engine? Engine? Engine?"

#thistale watches #mayday air investigations #mentioning turning the engine back off could be a red herring #but it also could be they crashed because they attempted takeoff without all of the engines

What I usually see on my feed when a new “Succession” episode comes out: “There was a huge argument and someone gave someone else a too-long shoulder touch that was like a hug. It was BRILLIANT.”

What I see tonight: “… did the fucking Culkin just get Ron DeSantis elected president?!”

#succession #succession spoilers #I mean maybe I don’t know I’m watching an air crash investigation marathon

Scariest fucking coincidence of my life was one hour ago when I decided to watch an episode of Air Crash Investigation while waiting in line at the airport and it turns out the plane of the episode I randomly selected was going to the exact same destination as the plane I'm about to board 💀
