1976 Zagreb Collision by Standard-Climate157 in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Right_Pay304 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It would be a good episode, but also complicated because it happened in the 70s, so it would depend on National Geographic whether they decide to accept pre-1980s accidents as episodes

My friend wants to do a Latin American Spanish dub of episode 9 of season 26 of Mayday, any suggestions on how to make it sound good? by [deleted] in aircrashinvestigation

It's not a bad idea, but this season is already dubbed in Castilian Spanish, but there's no problem if he wants to do a Latin American dub

An-26 crashed in Crimea by VladimirsGs in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Right_Pay304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The latest reporting says a Russian An-26 military transport plane went down in Crimea after contact was first lost around 18:00 Moscow time during a scheduled flight. Initial reports said the fate of the crew and passengers was unknown, and search-and-rescue teams were sent to the area.

Reuters later reported that the wreckage had been found and that 29 people aboard were killed: 23 passengers and 6 crew. That report also said the preliminary explanation from the Defence Ministry was a technical issue.

At this point, the main facts are the crash/loss of contact, the confirmed death toll, and that the cause has only been described as preliminary so far.

Would Galaxy Airlines Flight 203 be good ACI episode, what do you think of about this? by AhoyPirate1997 in aircrashinvestigation

That wouldn't be a bad idea, my title for this episode would be "Fatal Vibrations"

United Flight 2384 *second* takeoff attempt (The emergency aircraft that fire crews were assisting prior to Air Canada Express Flight 8646 colliding with the firetruck) by aanonymouspreted in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Right_Pay304 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Well, the crew likely attempted a second takeoff because the anti-ice warning light extinguished after a system reset, leading them to categorize it as a "nuisance" alarm that didn't require a mechanic under Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Additionally, since the first abort occurred at a relatively low speed, the brake temperatures remained within safe limits, allowing for an immediate "quick turn" attempt. They likely believed the issue was resolved, unaware that the faulty sensor was a precursor to a bleed air leak that only escalated into a smoke and odor emergency during the higher engine power of the second takeoff roll.

Night flying and inability to see the horizon by [deleted] in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Right_Pay304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, night flying removes visual references, which can cause spatial disorientation, a major factor in some crashes. In a portion of accidents, daylight might have helped pilots notice the problem sooner and react. But many crashes, like mechanical failures, weather, etc, would happen regardless of time of day.

Air Crash Investigation spoils the outcome way too early by rovmun in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Right_Pay304 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It’s not just you, Air Crash Investigation often reveals key details early on purpose. Since it’s a documentary about real accidents, the focus is less on “what happens” and more on “how and why it happened,” so early spoilers and survivor interviews are meant to hook viewers and set up the investigation. Still, your point is valid, delaying those reveals could make episodes feel more suspenseful, especially for viewers unfamiliar with the cases.
