The flight controls had stopped working, the flaps were stuck, and the right hand engine had caught fire. The cockpit was filled with a terrifying array of bells and alarms, as the pilots tried desperately to bring the plane back for an emergency landing. How had this routine training exercise gone so terribly wrong, and how would the flight crew get out of this life and death situation? This is without a doubt, one of the most fascinating and unlikely stories in the history of aviation. This is the story of SmartLynx Estonia flight 9001. ----- All music licensed through Epidemic Sound: Entering Multiverse - Christian Anderson Chaos Theory - Ava Low Travels in Time - Experia Superior - Silver Maple All pictures from final report: https://www.ojk.ee/et/system/files/fail/manus/ee0180_es_san_investigation_report.pdf ----- 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Flight background 02:05 A small detail 03:29 Incident touchdown 04:58 Out of control 05:50 Manual pitch trim 06:24 Dive 07:12 Partial control 07:30 Engine fire 08:20 ECAM messages 09:23 Turnback 11:07 Final approach 11:25 Engine 2 fail 11:53 Dual engine failure 12:24 Final Glide 13:29 Impact 13:56 Aftermath and damage 14:29 ELAC 1 16:19 Actual vs Commanded discordance 17:29 Incident approach 17:58 SEC - Spoiler Elevator Computer 18:42 Safety changes and improvements
