🟢 Join the Patreon to support the channel! 👉 https://www.patreon.com/GreenDotAviation ----- On October 8th, 2001, the worst air accident in Italian history occurred at Milan’s Linate airport in the North of Italy. What makes this crash particularly galling is how predictable and preventable it was. This accident was not a result of a series of unfortunate coincidences, or of a chance failure. Rather, it was the logical culmination of years of complacency, and a reckless attitude to safety by the Italian airport authorities. This episode investigates the causes behind this entirely predictable and preventable crash. Publicly available sources are used to piece together what took place. For a full account of the incident, read the Final Report, published in 2004. ----- Congratulations to Fabio Valentinuzzi for correctly guessing which incident this episode would cover in a recent community post. —— All music licensed through Epidemic Sound Final Report: https://reports.aviation-safety.net/2001/20011008-0_MD87_SE-DMA_C25A_D-IEVX.pdf Picture of Accident aircraft by Alexander Jonsson (GFDL 1.2 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.html or GFDL 1.2 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.html), via Wikimedia Commons Airport Map by Pikappa at Italian Wikipedia (original author of the Italian version)Attilios at en.wikipedia (translated into English), CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, via Wikimedia Commons ---- 00:00 Introduction 00:43 SAS flight details 01:53 Cessna Citation details 02:37 Linate's technology 03:28 Push and start, taxi 05:55 Takeoff 09:35 Aftermath and investigation 11:16 Illegal landing 11:55 A history or recklessness
