Most of the passengers were German holidaymakers returning home after enjoying the sunshine and beaches the small island is famous for. No one on board knows it yet, but they would not make it to Hannover that day. In fact, even the pilots won’t know where their plane will end up until minutes before the end of the flight. For years, investigators and the courts would argue over the causes of this accident, and the role that the captain played in it. How did things go so wrong on this flight? -------- Final report: https://reports.aviation-safety.net/2000/20000712-0_A310_D-AHLB.pdf Admiral Cloudberg: https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/running-on-empty-the-crash-of-hapag-lloyd-flight-3378-b381bbf3f990 Pictures from the Final Report and Vienna Airport Press Department -------- 00:00 Introduction 00:40 Pushback and Departure 02:19 Troubleshooting 03:37 Planning 05:20 A change of plans 07:36 Ignoring alternatives 08:54 Things get serious 11:02 Engines gone 12:16 Aftermath 13:22 The source of the gear trouble 13:32 Estimation Error 14:52 Psychological calculus 17:12 Last hope 17:44 Improvements
