Meanwhile, the pilot's salary decreased below a half in the past 10-15 years in my country, and yet there is such a huge responsibility.

Did I hear someone say: I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

Excellent.

ANOTHER AMAZON DELIVERY.

i can do this

Will FAA fine pilot for throwing things out of moving plane and endangerment people on the ground? I mean like they do with 2lb drone pilots?

That big ring actually fell into my friends friends yard

I really enjoyed your analysis of this failure, it really does a lot to reassure me with the safety of commercial air travel.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.

Captain Joe, is the ATC radio clearer in the aircraft or just as hit and miss like the recordings? I must be getting hold because I loose a lot of diction in the messages.

Great job all around, I hope the airlines keep at least two pilots in the cockpit. When issues like this,or even less than this happens, the extra pilot can mean the difference between life and death.

No one: What happened to the engine? Random MVP: The ting go skrrr papapa skiyaa Glad the situation was handled professionally and no one was hurt, even the plane.

I don't think the pilot sounded startled initially. He may well have been, but I thought he sounded as if he was talking while simultaneously assessing or doing something else, like looking for the manual or going over the indicator lights.

Great!

Good Job Thank You

they were very lucky - debris from fan kill nobody on the board, not damge fusalage [ it is fast , hard and strong as shapnel ...] and landed safely

Amazing how aviation safety gets better and better and then all of a sudden eng's and AF's from the 80's are falling apart in flight. WTFO?

Where is the checklist for CGI engine failures? You guys will believe anything.

First time watching your videos, I can say for sure, even if I know nothing about aviation, the explanation was great and understandable.

They did not cancel the fire bell as it was music to their ears? Tried to do "radiotelephony" with the fire bell blaring? Classic case in the sim where the instructor yells "you love that bell do you?"

26yr old rotor blades? Fly it tilll it breaks huh? Nonpreventive maintenance. Should change after 60000 hrs not suprised...$$ before lives...

So glad to hear everyone made it back onto the ground safe and sound. Great work by the pilots, crew and everyone involved! I would be absolutely terrified as a passenger to say the least.

Check

Boeing sucks! FAIL

Very well done video! Thanks! ✈

Reminds me of a old joke. Two idiots are flying from New York to London when one engine flames out halfway across the Atlantic. The captain say this plane can fly safely with one engine and since we're halfway there we'll continue on but there will be a five hour delay. So one idiot says to the other... If the other engine goes we'll be up here all night.

Thank you for the kind words for our great investigators at the NTSB. They are truly wonderful people and deserve a lot more recognition than what they do get

Since what has the likes of this ever happened to an engine before, and I mean ever? High probability of a Stuxnet application.

Why are there near 1000 dislikes?? What is there not to like?

Any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing 👏👏👏

Wow you are the greatest - I felt as if i was in the plane. Best Regards - Mike www.rotory.com

Typical United "farmer"....so arrogant.....Continental pilots would handle this....idiots. As a retired CAL Captain...we can rely on United to fuck it up.....

"Mayday" comes from the french "M'aidez!" which means help me.

What happens when all phones on board are not on airplane mode

Would kinda assume standard IFEs you land an then egress as required

Joe, nice job as always. I just have two quick (tiny) critiques. When you mentioned the turbulence at the beginning you said FL140, but in the US (unlike the lower, variable ones in Europe), the TA is 18,000 feet, so the turbulence went from 14,000 feet to FL220. Also, in the Boeings (757, 767, 777) the engines aren’t called “one” and “two”, they’re called “Left” and “Right.” Keep up the great work!

Beautiful job all around, great presentation, Captain Joe! - thanking everyone on that flight and on the ground in the control tower for their dedicated professionalism!

Deregulation.

For those of you making jokes of this situation that happened in real life. Stop for a moment and think if you were their and then here what this guy has to say about what the pilots need to do in order to control the situation and not make it worse. Some of you people hate the fact that other people where saying that they got lucky, which is true. They got lucky that they where in Good Hands and Gods Hands, and J.P. Quixote Seems to be playing God. So do what's right and that guy seems to have 44 likes so please, Report his comment and do what's right. FYI the pieces that fell of could of got caught on the ruder of the plane so they are lucky it landed safely in someones yard. It also may seem like it's shaking in control, but he said in the video that it's shaking even more because something is missing. Just watch it with an opened mind :)

I live superior colorado where this happened. I recorded the explosion in the air and boom noise. I would not be surprise if there not Canadian geese. It’s some many of them here.

Boeing had an explosive comeback after the 737 Max crashes.

Appreciate your knowledge and thank you for sharing!

When I saw this on the news, I thought it was my daughter's flight! However, this flight was going to Hawaii and her plane was still at the airport needing to be de-iced twice. I was happy that she was ok as well as the passengers on the other flight

Fascinating. Really clear explanations Captain Joe.

First time here. This was an excellent summation and very well done. Thank you.

Who needs the NTSB, we got this guy.

It's BRoomfield with an "R", not BLoomfield... 😉 (Named after the broom handle corn that used to grow here..) It was definitely a very loud boom. I heard it from inside my house and thought it sounded like a sonic boom. I initially thought that someone might be getting in trouble for that. (I'm actually old enough to remember hearing those as a kid...) We do have a fairly large non-commercial airport close to us, that occasionally runs military jets out of it, along with small and large corporate jets, and firefighting aircraft. (Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport)

they had control & did right thing & landed safely yeah, but if they didn't hve control say bad fire problem. They could turn super hard tight left turns to help get fire out & burn off extra wt & get to ideal lower thicker air so they hve more control at slower speeds,. Making 3,4,5,6 tight turn toward denver than landing might hve been safer allowing time to fully assess damage & flying ability & time to dump fuel b4 landing light & near empty like a paper airplane.

If one engine fails. The plane is designed for this. The other engine will carry it to the crash scene. 😄 I kid. Great flying!

this is why I don't want commercial planes flying over water more than 70 glide miles unless they hve more than 2 engines. 3 full size best but 2 ful size & 2 leer jet on tail size protect glide & keeps lights on & power on & hydraulics on.

Saw it on Reddit first, of course it was a meme but still

I am stunned that anyone is considering a single pilot aircraft for this type. There is too much to do in an emergency for one person to handle alone.

Nicely done.

How quickly were the runways cleared?

It usually takes about 2 years for the NTSB to issue their results.

I don't know Iwatched this video until the last sec.. because I'm not that interested into aviation.. but good content is good content

GE, they bring good things to life, but not jet engines.

"Always learning." Thank you!!! Taking all of the time and effort you have, is so appreciated! Very Special.

Very educational and informative

Was anyone else sent here by the Algos caught off guard with how upbeat the intro music was for this topic? Yeeeeps

A walk around prior to dispatch and a second walk around by the ground crew dispatcher. How can they check for engine failure? They can’t.

There's a reason why pilots are highly paid & should be. It requires nerves, training,quick thinking & experience.

Having 2 engines is fine but long distance over the ocean should require at least 3 like the Lockheed L10-11.

Thank you, Joe, for a very good summary! Ausgezeichnet!

I assume clean underwear dropped down with oxygen masks for all the passengers....

I once read a comment from an engineeer: "We study blade separations the way that nuclear scientists study meltdowns."

gold content! 🙌

Pilots ROCK!!

Very good and useful summation given how long we must wait for NTSB. Couldn’t help noticing that your graphic of the fire drill ended up with the second bottle arrow pointing at no. 1 engine! That emphasizes how critical it is to confirm every shutdown move on a twin. Be careful of condescending language re “boys and girls”. Great job and thanks. Long retired 747 Captain.

I wonder if they would have needed/ been able to dump fuel, to reduce the weight - is this even advisable with a burning engine?

enjoyed it very much.

I live in Broomfield. I was sitting in my apartment watching youtube when this happened. When I heard the big boom I thought for sure it was a fighter jet that had broken the sound barrier or something (there are always fighter jets coming in and out of the Broomfield airport) I looked out my window and saw this passenger plane way up in the sky and was like huh that was weird....only later did I find out that airplane parts were falling out of the sky near me. Pretty awesome that these planes can have an engine explode and still be able to fly

Situation analysis and as able Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Boeing makes them strong and as safe as possible. Yeehaa!

Thank you for your excellent breakdown of the event. Very informative and well presented 👍

nice video. too bad the audio is awful

Wow

I am personally much reassured to see just how wide and deep is the professionalism involved in keeping us safe!

There is a ME in Team though. and Meat also. :D

Aircraft are safer without pilots.

Please can you translate to Arabic language because we are Arabic people so you need Arabic language please please please please please please Captain Captain Captain Captain please please translate to Arabic😭😭🤍🤍🐳

careful. some cats kill other cats..

Ain’t fucking rocket science. It blew up. Pilot’s perspective useless here.

Awesome Explanation !. Thank you ...

what if that happens in the middle of the ocean? they will got time to land?

Great report from former Navy flight engineer. Top quality people all around.

Well done Captain

Great job to the pilot... He's the man... 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Great job done pilot huge congratulations all the best god bless you all 🙏.

Flight Attendant: Ladies and gentlemen the shit your pants light is now on. You may proceed at your earliest convenience.

The broad learning byerly alert because dragon expectedly start afore a useless ticket. coherent, lethal parallelogram

Pilots should have landed immediately and NOT flown around doing checklists. It's when they delay landing when crashes happen, as fires and equipment failures worsen very quickly. Land immediately!

1:28 why haven't we got crystal clear communication devices in 2021? how could you possibly hear anything from that mumbling?

Fantastic informative video

The checklist is printed because of possible failure of electrically hardware? “Wunderbar” 😀

Everyone involved was very capable, hats off!

The overweight checklist must've been performed because of the weight of the pilot's balls of steel.

Been on many flights, in and out of Denver DIA. Straight awsome. not even afraid to fly again.

What if they were in the middle of the ocean?

One of the safest airplanes flying. Scary to see it happen, but the airplane is designed to deal with emergencies like this. I'm glad it all turned out good for everyone involved.
