Titanic Survivor Claims an Iceberg Didn't Destroy the Ship
Have you ever met a person who hasn’t ever heard the story of Titanic? Unlikely. Even if you ask a 10-year-old, they’ll tell you exactly what took down the gigantic ship. However, some survivors of the sinking legend would beg to differ. Here’s one of their stories, and it has nothing to do with an iceberg.
Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs. He’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion. And if what he said was true, something must have caused that huge explosion...
💥 Btw, guys, there is a cat hidden in this video. If you can spot our furry little guy, you're much more attentive than most people! Do you accept the challenge? 😽

SUMMARY:
- Armenian publicist Vaghinak Byurat was 25 years old in the spring of 1912. He described what happened on his journey to America on the most famous ship in the world in his memoirs.
- In 1912, Vaghinak published some books together with his father, a famous Armenian writer. His task was to take the books to America.
- They went to bed rather late on April 14, just like on the other nights. Shortly after midnight, something that sounded like a big explosion woke everyone up.
- None of the crew members wanted to say anything, but a few minutes later it was impossible to deny that the Titanic was going underwater.
- Vaghinak put his passport and money in a little bag and tied it around his neck. The Titanic’s bow was already underwater by that time. A lot of people in this situation wouldn’t have dared to take it to the open water.
- The water in the North Atlantic that night was just below freezing, at a scary 28 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 C). The young writer felt his arms and legs go numb, and he was understandably getting weaker and weaker every second.
- Then, he bumped into something. It was a lifeboat! But it was so overcrowded they pushed the young man with a paddle when he tried to stick to the boat.
- Vaghinak woke up alive on board another ship. That ship was the Carpathia, and it was en route to New York with lucky survivors on board.
- 12 days later, a woman came into the room. She turned out to be the person who saved Vaghinak. Missis Astor told the sailors that the young man was her son, and she wouldn’t let them go without him since she’d already lost her husband on the Titanic.
- Vaghinak lived a long and happy life and, as a great storyteller, he shared what happened to him many times. Interestingly, he’s never mentioned an iceberg hitting the Titanic, and always spoke about an explosion.
- It could have been a fire, and quite a lot of people actually believe that theory, saying that coal was burning in the ship’s hull.
- Another theory that explained the explosion claimed that there was a German U-boat involved in the sinking of Titanic.

A Plane Lost Its Floor But the Captain Saved the Day
Imagine you need to get from Los Angeles to New York. To make it not so painfully long, you choose to take American Airlines Flight 96, with stopovers in Detroit and Buffalo. But several minutes after your plane leaves Detroit, it happens. Seemingly out of the blue - bang! And a part of the aircraft's floor is missing right under your feet!
It happened on June 12, 1972. Captain Bryce McCormick was an aviation veteran with more than 24,000 flight hours under his belt. The co-pilot was also an experienced airman. There were 56 passengers on board the plane and 11 crew members. When the autopilot was turned on and the chief flight attendant went to the galley to make coffee, it happened. She was suddenly brought down to the floor by a powerful explosion...

#planes #aviation #brightside
Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- All the control panel readings were normal, so Whitney turned on the autopilot. He didn't have anything to worry about: the radar confirmed that there was no bad weather on the route between Detroit and Buffalo.
- Cydya Smith, the chief flight attendant on Flight 96, left her seat as soon as she saw the signs off and went to the galley to make coffee. And at exactly that moment, it happened.
- The cockpit was rapidly filling with dark gray dust that blinded the men and didn't let them breathe.
- Unexplainably, a cargo door had been blown out less than 5 minutes after takeoff, and it left the plane with a gaping hole in its side.
- Hurricane force winds were sweeping through the cabin. One of the cabin crew members, Beatrice Copeland, was trapped under the collapsed door, unconscious.
- The biggest problem was that the DC-10 had one peculiarity: it didn't have a backup system that allowed for manual operation if the hydraulic system got knocked out.
- At that moment, the people on board the damaged plane still didn't know how lucky they were having Mr. McCormick as a pilot. Being curious about some of the DC-10 features, he’d spent hours on a flight deck simulator.
- McCormick understood that his damaged plane would need the priority to land, and he contacted the Detroit airport control tower.
- When the plane touched down, it was still moving incredibly fast. But the worst thing was that the aircraft was moving toward the main terminal building.
- Miraculously, Whitney managed to return the plane to the runway, with two sets of wheels running on the runway and the other two off.
- ll 67 people on board were alive, with only 11 not very serious injuries (9 passengers and 2 crew).
- A large cargo door gone as if peeled away by a huge can opener. But on the very same day, the missing door was located in a cornfield not far from Windsor, and investigators came to a shocking conclusion.

A Plane Lost Its Roof at 24,000 Feet But Managed to Land
You’ve probably seen Hollywood movies where a hole in the side of a plane causes utter chaos. Luckily, in reality, small damage to fuselage won't have such dramatic consequences. But a big opening in a plane’s side will. So would you believe me if I told you a pilot managed to land a plane with its much of it’s roof torn completely off?

Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- At 1:25 pm, on April 28, 1988, a 19-year-old Boeing 737 that belonged to Aloha Airlines left Hilo International Airport and headed for Honolulu.
- When the plane arrived at this destination, the pilots didn’t leave the cockpit or inspect the aircraft from the outside. After all, it wasn't a requirement, and they didn't have to do it.
- The length of the missing part was 18.5 ft long, and that was the aircraft skin that covered the plane from the cockpit back to the fore-wing area.
- The plane started to roll from side to side, and it was becoming increasingly harder to control. Everybody who was in the cockpit immediately put on their oxygen masks, and the captain took over the aircraft.
- All three flight attendants were standing along the aircraft aisle. The one who was the closest to the front of the plane was swept out through the hole in the roof.
- But the problem was at that time, in case of emergency, the airport control tower had to dial 911 just like anyone else. l
- As the plane was approaching the runway, the left engine failed, and the aircraft started rocking and shaking. The captain made an attempt to restart the engine but didn't succeed.
- Everyone on the plane, except for the flight attendant who had been pulled out of the plane, was alive, although 65 people were injured. Most people had been hurt by flying debris and torn pieces of fuselage.
- During one interview that followed the accident, passenger Gayle Yamamoto remembered that she had spotted a crack in the fuselage when she was boarding. Unfortunately, she was the only one who had seen this damage, and the woman hadn't thought that the crack was important enough to inform the crew.

A Captain Was Pulled Out, See What Happened to the Plane
Every day, about 10 million people take commercial flights to get from point A to point B. Almost 100,000 planes take off and land without a hitch. But from time to time, very rarely, an accident will happen that seems to spike cases of aviophobia all over the world. Like that time when a captain was partially pulled out of the cockpit, dangling in the sky at an altitude of 17,000 ft!
As it usually happens, nothing was amiss at first. The pilots were experienced. The plane seemed to be perfectly Ok and the cabin crew was professional and friendly. No one expected the dramatic outcome that was in store for this flight...

#criticalsituation #aircrafts #aviation
Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- On June 10, 1990, four crew members and 81 passengers boarded the aircraft. At 08:20 AM, the co-pilot performed a routine take-off, and British Airways Flight 5390 left Birmingham, England, and headed toward Malaga, Spain.
- Just as the cabin crew was preparing to serve meals, flight attendant Nigel Ogden was entering the cockpit, and there was a loud bang. The passengers were terrified because they thought there was an explosion.
- The real cause of the chaos was the left windscreen panel of the cockpit. It had separated from the fuselage of the plane and was blown away. Later, it was found somewhere in Didcot.
- Decompression that occurred when the window blew out made the air rush out of the cabin. The captain had already removed his lap belt. That's why the man was literally ripped out of his seat and sucked out of the missing windscreen.
- Recalling the accident later, one of the passengers told the press that she had noticed a man who had been hanging out of the window, and two other men and a woman had been holding onto his legs, trying to prevent him from being sucked out.
- Meanwhile, the passengers thought the plane was on fire and started to panic. The cockpit door was sucked inward and collided with the control console, blocking some parts of it.
- The plane didn't have enough oxygen for everyone on board. That's why the co-pilot was in a hurry to descend to an altitude where the passengers and crew could breathe normally. After he fulfilled this task, he immediately broadcasted a distress call.
- Despite their assumption that the man had already lost his life, the crew was still holding onto his body. They were still clinging to him even when the plane made the emergency landing at the airport of Southhampton.
- Naturally, the man was in a state of shock, but he managed to return to work in less than five months and didn’t retire from commercial piloting until 2008.
- Investigators discovered that 27 hours before the flight, when the windscreen was installed, 84 of the bolts used in the process were too small in diameter, and the rest of the bolts were too short!
- But the accident with British Airways Flight 5390 hasn't been the only accident when a crew member barely escaped being pulled out of the plane.
- On May 14, 2018, a Sichuan Airlines flight was heading from China to Tibet. When the plane reached the cruising altitude of 32,000 ft (9,753 m), the right windshield suddenly exploded with a deafening bang.
- The captain, who was a former military pilot, managed to regain manual control over the Airbus A319, and the plane made an emergency landing at the airport of Chengdu.

One Guy Saved 600 Passengers Abandoned by Their Captain
You might think that the times of the Titanic are long gone, but what if I told you that less than 20 years ago there was another ship that almost followed in the steps of the Titanic? This time, abandoned by their captain, around 600 passengers would have lost their lives if not for the quick-thinking and courageous cruise ship entertainers.
The Oceanos, built in France and first launched in July 1952, was a Greek-owned cruise ship. On August 3, 1991, after a serious delay, it set off from East London, South Africa, on its fateful voyage toward Durban. Even before the journey started, the ship had already started to wear...

The cruise ship Oceanos leaving Piraeus Harbor on June 1986: By Peter J. Fitzpatrick - CC BY-SA 4.0
Animation is created by Bright Side.
SUMMARY:
- The Oceanos, built in France and first launched in July 1952, was a Greek-owned cruise ship that traveled along the Marseilles - Madagascar – Mauritius route.
- Usually, the ship's crew would’ve organized a sail-away party with the entertainers and musicians on the deck outside. But everything seemed to be going wrong this time.
- The problem was that, in an attempt to make up for the previous delay, the Oceanos entered rough seas. But it turned out to be a fatal mistake.
- The situation was much, much more dangerous because the Oceanos encountered rogue waves, also called monster waves. They’re incredibly large and unexpected; they appear all of a sudden and can wreck even large ships and ocean liners.
- The ocean water was flooding the ship through the main drainage pipes, which meant that it was uncontrollably spilling out of toilets, showers, and the water disposal system.
- As soon as the crew realized that the ship was beyond hope and couldn't be saved, they got ready to abandon it. They didn’t follow the standard procedure of locking the portholes on the lower decks, and they even failed to raise the alarm!
- The captain and his crew weren't going to save the day. They departed on several lifeboats without looking back. Luckily, the ship still had its entertainers.
- Moss Hills performed on the Oceanos as a singer and guitarist. He could tell that the ship was having a problem, but at that time, he hadn't realized yet how serious the situation was.
- As soon as Hills realized the horror of the situation, as well as the fact that they couldn't expect any help from the panicking crew, he sprang into action.
- The South African Air Force and the South African Navy sent 16 rescue helicopters that were to arrive at any moment.
- Meanwhile, Moss Hills organized an orderly evacuation process where children and women were the first to use the remaining lifeboats.
- All 571 people who were on board the ship after the crew abandoned it were saved. Moss and Tracy Hills, as well as Butler and Boltman, were among the last to leave the ship.
- At about 3:30 PM the next day, the Oceanos touched the sand bottom, 300 ft (90 m) below the ocean’s surface.

A Glass of Water Saved a Plane And 72 Passengers
The plane had been used for 20 years, but it had never suffered a single accident before, so the cabin crew had no doubts the flight would be easy. Passengers got on board the plane; flight attendants nonchalantly checked their boarding passes; everything went as usual.
But what happened after that was really scary. No electricity onboard, all equipment down, no airport in sight, and only a half-forgotten runway deep in the Siberian snow forest. It’s hard to imagine a worse scenario for a passenger plane landing, so it’s a real miracle that everyone ended up safe and sound. And all of it thanks to… a glass of water.

Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- The plane had been used for 20 years, but it had never suffered a single accident before, so the cabin crew had no doubts the flight would be easy.
- The electronic equipment started acting abnormally, but the pilots shrugged it off as a nuisance and continued the flight. Air traffic control also neglected the problem.
- Just 8 minutes after the announcement, the lights in the cabin went off. Only the flight attendants paid any attention to it, believing everything was alright. In the cockpit, though, the situation immediately became desperate.
- Without the equipment, the plane became crippled. It was still operable, but all the navigational systems refused to work, the radio went offline, and the fuel transfer pumps were also lost.
- Without any means to control the angle at which they descended, they used an old and almost forgotten trick: a glass of water put on the control panel.
- As Captain Novosyolov later said in an interview, it was a pure stroke of luck that they saw a landing strip near the town of Izhma. It was an old airport that had been abandoned for a long time and closed for any aircraft except helicopters.
- Despite the abandonment of the airport, airport supervisor Sergey Sotnikov, of his own will, kept the runway in a good condition for all those years. He cut down the emerging brush, swept away garbage, and even drew the runway marking when it faded.
- Before the last attempt at landing, all passengers and the cabin crew were transferred to the front of the plane to be ready for an emergency evacuation.
- The emergency escape slides were dispatched. And all 72 passengers along with all 9 crew members safely went down to the ground. None of them were even slightly injured.
- The lucky passengers and crew were transported by helicopters to nearby Ukhta, from where they went on to Moscow by another plane, and only one family decided they’d had enough air travel for a lifetime and took a train instead.
- Sergey Novosyolov and his co-pilot Andrey Lamanov were made Heroes of the Russian Federation, while the rest of the cabin crew received the Orders of Courage.
- After that, the aircraft continued performing flights for another 7 years. It received its own nickname, Izhma, and in September 2018 it flew for the last time.

Passengers Survived the Miracle on the Hudson: Things You Might Not Know
Ten years ago, the world of aviation was flabbergasted by an event that was later named the Miracle on the Hudson. That day, two airline pilots had to use the only runway they could safely reach for an emergency landing - the narrow expanse of the Hudson River in New York City.
Besides the two pilots, there were 150 passengers and three cabin crew members on board the plane. It's shocking how fast something so life-altering and scary can happen. One moment the pilots fill their jet with fuel, and the plane takes off, and two minutes later, it loses all the engine power and is about to drop out of the sky. How could such a critical situation not take any human lives? Let's figure it out.

US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River New York, USA on 15 January 2009: By Greg L - originally posted to Flickr as Plane crash into Hudson River, CC BY 2.0
Animation is created by Bright Side.
Music by Epidemic Sound
SUMMARY:
- On January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 was a routine flight from La Guardia Airport in New York to Charlotte Douglas Airportin North Carolina.
- All the equipment worked without a flaw, and the weather was great, with 10-mile (16 km) visibility that provided the cockpit crew with a breathtaking view of the Hudson.
- At 3:27 PM, with the plane moving at 316 ft (96 m) per second, captain Sullenberger noticed a flock of Canada geese just a moment before the plane struck the birds.
- Sully didn't lose his presence of mind, even after he realized that both engines had shut down. He understood there was no chance that the aircraft would end up somewhere on a runway, undamaged.
- He tried to find a way to get the plane to the runway, but at 3:29 PM, Sullenberger repeated his words, only this time, he sounded even more sure: the plane WAS going to end up in the river.
- The impact was hard, but the plane was afloat and miraculously intact. Almost in unison, the pilots exclaimed, It wasn't as bad as I had thought!
- But the situation was far from safe. One panicked passenger opened one of the rear doors, and the flight attendant couldn’t manage to seal it again. Water started to fill the plane through this door as well as through a hole in the fuselage.
- The Hudson water temperature was just 41 degrees F (5 degrees C), and some people had to stand knee-deep in the water to be rescued since some of the inflatable slides were partially submerged.
- All the passengers and crew members were alive; there were only 5 serious injuries, and 78 people received some sort of treatment, mostly for hypothermia and minor injuries.
- When the authorities investigated afterward, they tested whether it would have been possible for the plane to return to La Guardia airport safely. The answer was no.

A Plane Disappeared And Landed 37 Years Later
What would you do if you went on a vacation to another city and suddenly found yourself in another country altogether? Most of us would be confused. Even the most reckless of adventurers would at least raise an eyebrow if told they’d flown for close to half a century.
On July 2, 1955, Pan American Flight 914 made its way from New York to Miami, Florida. It was a fine sunny day, and 57 passengers on board the plane were looking forward to seeing the warm beaches and palm trees of Florida. The plane took off without trouble, but 3 hours later, when it should’ve already landed at the destination airport, it was nowhere to be seen. When air traffic control contacted the New York tower, they got a perplexing reply: Flight 914 just disappeared from the radars in mid-air.

SUMMARY:
- On July 2, 1955, Pan American Flight 914 made its way from New York to Miami, Florida. It was a fine sunny day, and 57 passengers on board the plane were looking forward to seeing the warm beaches and palm trees of Florida.
- Everything indicated that the plane was lost: apart from having vanished from the radars, air traffic control couldn’t get through to the pilots with the radio.
- Eventually, although the case was never really solved, there was an official statement that the plane crashed, taking the lives of everyone on board.
- Change of scenery. It’s now September 9, 1992, and we’re in Caracas, Venezuela. It’s a perfectly normal day for Juan de la Corte, air traffic controller at the Caracas airport.
- Seemingly out of nowhere, a new dot appeared on the radar. It was as if an aircraft had just popped up from nothingness, or as if it had been hiding from the radar and now decided to show up.
- In less than 10 minutes, the culprit showed up in the field of vision. At first it looked to the air traffic control like an ordinary airplane, but as it got closer, they could see that it was, in fact, very oldю
- The real confusion began when the pilot of the mysterious aircraft contacted the tower and asked in English, “Where are we?”
- The pilot said his flight was scheduled to land at the Miami airport at 9.55 am on July 2, 1955. Now it was time for the tower to fall into silence.
- Ground units were immediately called to assist the plane and the passengers, and it landed without trouble. Having relaxed a little bit, Juan finally decided to ask something that bothered him. “Do you know today is May 21, 1992?”
- Juan heard the flight captain’s panicky voice saying, “No! Stay away! We’re leaving now!” And indeed, he started the engines again and, without waiting for take-off clearance, taxied the plane to the runway.
- There’s much dispute about the credibility of this event. Back in 1985, a tabloid called Weekly World News was the first to cover this story.
- However, the legend still lives, and many sources retell it in their own way. Some even go as far as to say that the passengers of the plane eventually returned to their homes.
- One thing that keeps popping up on the Internet and piquing the interest of paranormal enthusiasts is a small pocket calendar that somehow was left on the Caracas airport runway when the notorious plane took off.

A Plane Lost Both Engines So Pilots Had No Other Choice
“Would the lead steward please come to the flight deck... immediately”. Sounds like one of those in-flight announcements from a dramatic plane crash movie. No one would ever want to hear this in reality. Unfortunately, it’s exactly what the passengers on Air Transat Flight 236 heard as their plane ran out of fuel somewhere above the Atlantic.
It was supposed to be a regular flight for Air Transat from Toronto, Canada, to Lisbon, Portugal. The weather was fine that August evening, and Flight 236 took off without delays. It had 306 people on board. The Airbus was fairly new, with only 2 years of active service. It had two powerful engines, and 5 tons more fuel than is required when it took off. Yet, 8 hours later, when the plane should have touched down in Lisbon, it was nowhere to be seen...

SUMMARY:
- At 05:03 UTC, after over 4 hours of a totally normal flight, the first alarming message came through. The onboard computer informed the pilots that the oil temperature had dropped and the oil pressure was higher than normal on engine 2, that same right engine.
- At 05:36 UTC another warning came through – this time about a fuel imbalance. The pilots, again, thought it was a false alarm and followed protocol for the situation.
- At 05:45 UTC, the pilots made the decision to divert the plane to the Azores and land it at Lajes Air Base. 3 minutes later, they informed Santa Maria Oceanic air traffic control they had a fuel emergency.
- At 06:13 UTC, when the plane was at 39,000 feet (11,880 m) and still 170 miles (273 km) away from Lajes, engine #2 failed completely from lack of fuel.
- They only had one option now – to glide for the rest of the distance to the base. Mr. DeJager, who was the co-pilot on Flight 236, remembers they were flying as if in a simulator dealing with new problems that arose every minute.
- All emergency services were activated on the ground, waiting for the plane to land safely. The pilots realized they only had 15 to 20 minutes and one attempt to touch down safely and save the passengers.
- At 06:45 UTC, the plane finally touched ground at the airbase, but it wasn’t exactly a smooth landing. 14 passengers and two crew members needed some medical help, and two people got seriously injured during the evacuation.
- It turned out that just five days before the incident maintenance staff installed a new right engine. It didn’t come with a hydraulic pump, so they decided to take one from a similar engine and attach it to the new one.
- There was a leak in the fuel hose, and it could have killed 306 people!

A Plane That Landed with Extremely Speed Ever
On December 31, 1988, a passenger airliner heading from Kaliningrad, Russia, to Odessa, Ukraine, made for a landing in the destination airport. New Year in Russia is a big deal. And this might have been the reason for what happened on that day with the Tu-134 flight.
The weather forecast for the day was not one that would make you overjoyed: it was overcast and stormy, with strong winds and low visibility. The cabin crew knew all this: they were warned of the conditions in advance. All systems were working fine, the airplane was cruising to its place of destination. The problems began when permission to descend was given. The speed at which the aircraft descended was way too high...

SUMMARY:
- The pilots received the first warning message at the altitude of 24,600 ft (7,500 m) but the crew deliberately ignored it. As it turned out later, the first pilot was sure everything was alright, and he could land the plane anyway.
- The pilots decided to fly directly to the runway despite the high speed. That was a crucial error, as it turned out. The speed of the plane was about 280 mph (450 kph), which is much faster than the recommended — and safe — landing speed of 205 mph (330 kph).
- Anyway, the most surprising thing about the situation was that none of this was connected with any troubles on board the airplane. Everything was working perfectly fine, no emergencies arose, literally nothing was wrong… except the crew’s decisions.
- The plane stormed on through the runway and onto the end safety area, only to come to a halt just 5 ft (1.5 m) before touching the naked ground.
- As a result, no one was hurt on board, but it was pure luck. The landing was not smooth in the least, and the passengers were frightened, but, fortunately, everything turned out well.
- As for the plane itself, it continued to fly with different airlines for many more years — after all, it was a good plane, and the incident wasn’t its fault.
- The Tu-134 incident wasn’t the only one like that, though, and it wasn’t the most epic one either. For example, there was a Boeing-737 that overran the end of the runway and ended up on a busy street!
- The flight captain acknowledged the instructions and did exactly as he was told. Well, who can blame him for that, right? Just following orders. But what happened next went so wrong that he couldn’t even explain his actions later.
- When they didn’t receive the verbal command to slow down, they simply proceeded at the same speed they had been cruising the whole way.
- Later, he couldn’t even explain why. As for the first officer, he said that he knew they weren’t about to land safely but believed the captain was taking steps to avoid a crash.
- Eventually, the airplane crashed into the metal fence and an airport perimeter wall, tearing through both, and finally came to a halt right in the middle of Hollywood Way, a busy four-lane city street.
- Several months later, both the captain and the first officer of Flight 1455 were fired because of the accident. And the plane, as it turned out, sustained too much damage and was later scrapped.

4 Times Huge Airplanes Landed On Water Successfully
There’s no such thing as a safe emergency airplane landing, especially if it has to land on water. But some gifted pilots can do wonders with their metal-winged birds, even if those birds are huge airliners with lots of people on board! Here, I’ll tell you about 4 times airplanes landed on the water without any major injuries to the passengers.
Landing a plane on water has its own special term now. It’s called ditching, and this task is one of the hardest for pilots. Period. Mainly because it’s almost impossible to train pilots to deal with this situation. Especially if we’re talking about 1956, when there were no training simulations available.
TIMESTAMPS
Boeing 377 Stratocruiser 1:17
The Pan Am Flight 6 1:40
The Tupolev Tu-124 4:12
Airbus A320 of US Airways (Miracle of the Hudson) 6:56
SUMMARY
- Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, a huge liner with 4 engines – one of the first airplanes with a pressurized cabin and double-deck feature! With this double-deck, it could take up to 100 passengers on board. But on this day, October 16, 1956, there were only 24 passengers and 7 members of the aircrew on the plane.
- The Pan Am Flight 6 was supposed to be an around-the-world flight with several stops along the way. This was its last take-off from Honolulu before arriving at the destination point in San Francisco. Unfortunately, at the half-way point, when the plane was climbing in altitude, one of the Boeing’s engines violated its speed limit and stopped. Slowly but surely, the plane started to get closer to the sea, unable to keep the altitude. It didn’t help that another engine, engine number 4, also started to malfunction. But still, pilots managed to distribute the workload to the three remaining engines and keep an altitude of 5,000 ft.
- In the summer of 1963. The Tupolev Tu-124 airplane with 52 people on board was circling around in the skies above Saint Petersburg, Russia, trying to find a way to ditch on the Neva River.
Problems with this flight began immediately after the plane took off in Tallinn. The front gear of the plane wasn’t able to retract, but the Tupolev couldn’t turn back to Tallinn – the weather was too foggy for that. As the flight was supposed to end in Moscow, the closest place to land safely along the way was in Saint Petersburg.
- And, the record holder for the number of people on board a ditching plane – Airbus A320 of US Airways, Flight 1549. Also known as the “Miracle of the Hudson” Flight. It happened 10 years ago, on January 15.
The cause of this would-be catastrophic event was nothing more than a flock of geese which struck the engines. But thanks to the mastery of the Airbus’ pilots, and ingenuity of its construction, the 155 people on board remained uninjured.

A Train Almost Ruined the Town But Something Saved People
Traveling by train is one of the safest ways to get somewhere. But what's that? You feel it accelerate, and soon it's already moving at breakneck speed, ignoring stop signs, stations, and other trains. You're pinching yourself in a futile attempt to wake up, but it’s no nightmare – you’re on a runaway train!
It was a cold winter night on January 11, 2004. Two people were supposed to arrive at the train yard that night: 31-year-old engineer Eduard and his 24-year-old assistant Alexander. But when it was time for their shift to begin, the engineer was nowhere to be seen. They eventually got hold of Eduard, and the engineer simply said that he’d overslept. His health readings were normal, and he was totally sober. Everything was fine, nothing out of routine here, except maybe the fact that instead of his uniform, the man was wearing a suit and tie, as if he was going to some important event. But nobody seemed to find that odd…

SUMMARY:
- After the doctors gave him the green light, the engineer was ready to go. He climbed up into the cab, and that's when his assistant noticed another oddity. Eduard didn't put a new tape into the train's speedometer, which was a serious violation of the rules.
- After the train left the loading station, the engineer broke protocol once more by refusing to check if the brake system was working correctly.
- As the train came toward the railway haul Volkhovstroy 2 – Kukol’, the station operator reported that there was another train approaching the station. Alexander the assistant screamed in horror when the engineer hit the controls to accelerate!
- When Alexander tried to bring his co-worker to his senses, the much stronger engineer answered back with physical threats.
- At 2:58am, the train blew through the red light at Kukol’ station, careened on a totally unscheduled route, and dashed toward the main track.
- Everything changed at Valya station. At 3:02am, when the runaway had already blown through the previous stop at Myslino, the Valya station operator came up with the idea to cut the power on the line.
- At 3:45am, the train finally lost its forward momentum and came to a stop. Alexander the assistant immediately saw his only chance to escape.
- When the police got to the train at 4:14am, they discovered the engineer on the floor, completely out of it. The delusional man was taken to the hospital for mental health treatment.
- Had the train continued its crazed path to destruction, it would’ve made it to the town of Tikhvin, population: 60,000.
- It happened on May 15, 2001 in northwest Ohio. Locomotive #8888 (hence the nickname) was moving a string of 47 freight cars on the Walbridge – Kenton line.
- Things were going smoothly until the train's 35-year-old engineer noticed that one switch was strangely misaligned. The man decided that since the train was moving quite slowly, he’d have more than enough time to get down, fix the switch, and climb right back up into his cabin.
- Before the engineer left the cab, he’d set the wrong brake.
- When the engineer tried to switch a special brake that would’ve slowed the train down to a crawl, he accidentally set the engine not to brake but to accelerate!
- At first, they tried to stop the train with the help of a portable derailer, but these attempts failed. Then the police started to shoot at the emergency switch, which serves to cut off the fuel supply.
- As soon as the runaway's speed dropped to 11 mph (18 kph), engineer Jon Hosfeld, who’d been waiting up ahead, managed to climb into the cab and shut down the engine.
