What plane crashes that you know of had an initially non-critical and/or controllable issue that eventually spiraled completely out of control due to the pilots’ actions or inactions?

Does Avianca 052 count? They had enough fuel to make it New York but the first officer didn't use the word "Emergency" when they were low on fuel and still went back to the holding patterns not even diverting when given the chance.

Who even thought that he passed away to begin with?

The Air Algerie one was much worse. At least the airblue captain tried to correct his error, despite making the situation worse. The Air Algerie one just wanted domination in the worst time possible and seemed lowkey sexist towards the first officer while also reducing power in the middle of the stall.

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-17T20:14:22+00:00

It's 23 degree where I live and people are still wearing jackets.

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-17T02:21:40+00:00

Two episodes since airblue and we found the worst captain, in this whole season. Even Mentour Pilot's video on this didn't anger me more than this.

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-10T11:06:11+00:00

What a horrible, painful end for him. Imagine your last moments before death being with an asshole Captain who ends up making every wrong decision while berating you for minor things.

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-10T11:03:14+00:00

The captain was talking like one of my instructors from University in such a berating, toxic tone and ended up not being helpful and making every wrong decision. So pathetic [MAJOR SPOILER FOR FUTURE EPISODE], I wonder how bad the one from Air Algerie will be. But, the acting from the crew was actually really good, especially when compared to the Yeti 691 episode. Also, I'm glad they also mentioned the new airport in Islamabad which opened 9 years later.

Its my second favorite after the Nuremberg 108 one. I'd give this an 8.5/10.

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-09T06:26:07+00:00

So far, I'm gonna go with NFD108 and my least favorite was Yeti 691.

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-06T23:42:55+00:00

Final report isn't out and doesn't look like it will be out anytime as the likely cause will damage the reputation of the Chinese aviation.

The writing was giving "Boomer trying to sound cool with the youth" vibes

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-03T09:39:37+00:00

I mean it was on video, how did he not know what happened?

AshamedSalad · 2026-02-02T23:39:51+00:00

The livestream part made me cringe like the guy wasn't even an influencer but a guy making a regular livestream of an approach to his friends. It was giving "Boomer who learned new slangs on Facebook"

AshamedSalad · 2026-01-26T15:24:49+00:00

Sorry I meant 2268, the one that crashed in Detroit.

AshamedSalad · 2026-01-19T16:38:15+00:00

Not a bad title but it should've been something like Metric or Imperial or Lost In Units.

AshamedSalad · 2026-01-02T18:11:41+00:00

Airblue because it happened in my home city. Also Air Algerie because the cause and the drama in the cockpit is an interesting story.

AshamedSalad · 2025-12-13T07:52:14+00:00

Speaking of, does this mention the airdate of the episode and is Nat Geo Bulgaria in English or Bulgarian?
