00:05You're about to watch aviation incidents captured exactly as they happened on camera.
00:09No narration tricks, no reenactments, just real moments where a normal flight turns into an emergency in seconds.
00:17Some crews recover with skill and luck, and some situations end in a plane crash before anyone can react.
00:23Watch closely for the small signs. An unstable climb, a sudden drift, a hard touchdown.
00:30Because in aviation, tiny changes can decide everything.
00:42On August 16, 2013, a motorized hang glider trike crashed during the initial climb,
00:48shortly after takeoff from the Mijava agricultural airstrip near Tura Luka, Slovakia, resulting in a fatality.
00:55The official investigation concluded the loss of control began with a wing drop and stall,
01:00caused by misalignment between the undercarriage and the newly installed Eros Profi wing, leading to uneven airflow and lift.
01:16On January 7, 2026, a Cinnamon Air Cessna 208 Caravan amphibian seaplane was involved in an accident
01:24while landing on Gregory Lake in Nuwara Elia, Sri Lanka.
01:28Only the two pilots were on board, both were rescued and taken to hospital, and no passengers were on the
01:34aircraft.
01:36Authorities opened the formal investigation, and the cause had not yet been officially determined at the time of reporting.
01:45Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
01:49Oh, shit!
01:50Ram! I don't think we're doing that.
01:52What the fuck?
01:54Oh, my gosh!
01:55We're not doing that, Ram!
01:57Ram, we're not doing that.
02:19The Sky, Orange, South Dakota
02:20On May 8, 2015, a motorized paraglider or trike aircraft nicknamed Black Hawk reportedly crashed during takeoff at a location
02:29that is not publicly reported,
02:30after a steep left bank and ground impact from roughly 10 to 15 meters.
02:35No public accident report or reliable media coverage could be found,
02:39so the cause cannot be verified beyond the private footage.
02:43Based only on the available description,
02:45it appears to be an immediate loss of control shortly after liftoff.

03:54On July 6, 2014, a paraglider and a hang glider collided in midair
04:00near a launch area at a location that is not publicly reported.
04:04There is no official report or reliable media coverage available,
04:08so the cause cannot be verified.
04:10Based on the private video description,
04:12the collision occurred after abrupt maneuvering close to the start
04:16and within the ridge soaring zone.
04:30On July 22, 2015, a Piper Malibu PA-46310P crashed during landing on runway 27
04:38at Whitman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
04:42seriously injuring three people and causing minor injuries to two others.
04:46The NTSB found the probable cause was the pilot's failure to go around
04:50after a modified landing clearance
04:52and failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering,
04:55leading to a steep bank accelerated stall at low altitude.
05:26On June 27, 2019, an Antonov AN-24 RV overran the runway during landing
05:33at Nizhnyengarsk Airport in the Republic of Buryatisha, Russia,
05:37and struck a building beyond the airfield, resulting in two fatalities.
05:41The Interstate Aviation Committee final report concluded the accident
05:45followed a left engine shutdown in flight
05:48and a high-speed approach to a runway with insufficient available landing distance,
05:52leading to a runway excursion and impact.
05:55The engine shutdown was assessed as most likely due to abnormal operation
05:59of the fuel control automation,
06:01though the exact failed component could not be confirmed.
06:25On June 7, 2021, a paraglider pilot attempted takeoff
06:30in very strong, gusty, unpredictable wind and lost control.
06:35There is no independent public reporting or official record
06:39I can cite for this specific incident,
06:41so the cause can only be stated from the pilot's own description.
06:45Pilot error in challenging wind conditions,
06:47plus additional mistakes during the recovery,
06:50followed by a safe landing.
06:52Pilot error in the pilot's own description.
07:36On August 24, 2018, an Aronca 7AC champion crashed shortly after takeoff near Cranlin
07:43Airport in Hanson, Massachusetts, USA, after the airplane entered a left turn and descended
07:49into terrain.
07:49The NTSB determined the probable cause was a total loss of engine power due to carburetor
07:55icing, followed by the pilot's attempted turn back with insufficient altitude and failure
08:00to maintain airspeed, which led to an aerodynamic stall.
08:23The NTSB has a total loss of engine power due to an aerodynamic stall.
08:24The NTSB has a total loss of engine power due to an aerodynamic stall.
08:48On September 8, 2018, a Cirrus SR22 was substantially damaged at Mason City Municipal Airport in Mason
08:56City, Iowa, when it rolled forward and struck a hangar after the engine was started by hand
09:01propping.
09:02The NTSB determined the probable cause was the pilot's improper hand propping procedure, which
09:07resulted in a runaway airplane and subsequent impact with the hangar.
09:11The pilot attempted hand propping because the battery was too low to start the engine normally.
09:17The NTSB has a total loss of engine power due to an aerodynamic stall.
09:18The NTSB has a total loss of engine power due to an aerodynamic stall.
09:54On October 28, 2016, FedEx Express Flight 910, a McDonnell Douglas MD-1010F cargo jet, suffered
10:04a left main landing gear collapse during landing rollout on runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
10:10International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the left wing caught fire.
10:15The NTSB determined the collapse was caused by fatigue cracking that initiated at a corrosion
10:20pit in the gear after a required protective cadmium coating was absent, with the operator's
10:26extended overhaul limit contributing by allowing the crack to progress to failure.
10:31The NTSB is requested, it's a heavy DC-10 halfway down the runway, and the left engine appeared
10:36to be on fire.
10:37The NTSB clear runway, 3 shield, 10 left close at this time.
10:4110 left clear, round 2, proceed as request to the ground.
10:43That's your proceeding.
10:45The NTSB at Tango 4 requested permission to access runway.
10:49The NTSB proceed as request to proceed on to the runway.
10:52Ramp 1, roger, and a quick question on Alpha, how far east can they go pretty much, a beam
10:57victory, or can they go to victory if I need some way to go?
11:00I want to get over there and take a look.
11:02I'm looking at Bravo right now, and I'll check out Alpha and get right back to you.
11:04All right.
11:07Ground Ram 3, as of right now, Taxiway Alpha is clear of all debris, Taxiway Bravo is clear
11:14of all debris, with the exception of intersection Bravo 4, there's a large piece of debris there.
11:21You can also cross aircraft at Alpha 5 if you need to when we open this thing up again.
11:26Roger.
11:27Ram 2?
11:28Ram 2, 4 is going to go down.
11:29Ram 2 request entry, proceeding on to 10 left at this time.
11:33I've got the FedEx manuscript with me.
11:36Ram 2 procedures requested.
11:38Sitting on to 10 left for Ram 2.
11:41Hey, ground Ram 3, if you can see my vehicle, I'm just east of Taxiway Quebec.
11:45I'm on 10 left.
11:47I put two cones down here, and that's where the debris field starts at.
11:51So I'm going to leave these cones here overnight, but the cones signify where the debris starts
11:54at.
11:55Ground Ram 3, roger.
11:57Stand up, 1-4.
11:59That's 1-4-4 at Lauderdale Grand.
12:01Yes, ma'am.
12:02We've got some air side agents that are coming out now.
12:04They're going to be doing an inspection on 1-0 right.
12:07Once that inspection is completed, they're going to turn it back over to you to open the
12:10south runway.
12:111-4, roger.
12:131-4, just to be advised.
12:15You need to note them.
12:16It opened once it is open.
12:181-4, copy.
12:19Once they finish that, they'll complete that.
12:222-0, runway 10 left, tell them 10.
12:25Ramp 1.
12:27Ramp 1, fly right up there.
12:29At this time, all runways are closed.
12:32Ramp 1, roger.
12:32We're here, park left.
12:34Tower, we have two, please show a text and we have to close at this time.
12:37Ramp 2, text, we have to now close, roger.
12:40There's 7333.
12:41If you haven't heard of the airport, it's coming to close.
12:43You're going to shut down.
12:43Are you in current position?
12:45Yeah, we'll sit down, we saw that.
12:48Tower, ramp 3, there is debris at the top.
12:51R-10 left, text way, Quebec intersection.
12:53If you're going to cross airplanes there, there is debris there.
12:56Go ground, R-3.
12:58R-3, Florida, no ground.
13:00We are requesting to get on the airfield to the L-3 aircraft.
13:04I'm at Tango 6 November now.
13:06R-3, proceed as requested.
13:08R-3 proceeding as requested.
13:11And ground, ramp 3 will be on text.
13:12We offer escorting numerous fire trucks from the west side.
13:15R-3, roger, proceed as requested.
13:17R-3, proceed.
13:18And ground, once again, there is debris in the runway.
13:21If you're going to cross airplanes from national jets to the south side,
13:24there is debris in the runway.
13:25It's coming to the intersections.
13:26I haven't expected it yet.
13:28R-3, roger.
13:29Fort Lauderdale ground, R-3.
13:31R-3, Fort Lauderdale ground.
13:34What's the location of our L-3 aircraft?
13:37And he's by Alpha 4.
13:39He's east of Alpha 4 pretty much on the grass.
13:42Okay, I understand.
13:42Can I get a crossing at echo?
13:45R-3, proceed as requested.
13:48R-3 proceeding as requested, thank you.
13:51Sally and any RF vehicles on frequency.
13:54Go ahead, Sally.
13:55And we're wondering, what is the condition of the crew?
13:58The condition of the flight crew?
14:02The ground, R-3, there is debris at 10 left.
14:05Actually, Quebec intersection.
14:06I don't want to move it, so you can't cross any airplanes here.
14:10No problem.
14:11I wasn't going to cross them anyways,
14:11because I wasn't sure if there was any more out on the runway.
14:14Thanks.
14:16Thanks.
14:16And we've got debris all over 10 left.
14:18Roger.
14:19Ground ramp, 1-6.
14:20I do have some debris at Bravo 4.
14:23I'm going to go ahead and just check the entire area there.
14:26Roger.
14:27And ground ramp, 1, be advised that the debris field starts on 10 left,
14:33right around Taxiway, Quebec.
14:35So west of Quebec, you can taxi aircraft from north to south when we open this up again.
14:40So you can use Taxiway, Delta, Taxiway Echo.
14:42There's no debris there, but it starts around Taxiway, Quebec.
14:45It's got to stay closed.
14:47And ground ramp, Roger.
14:48Just to be advised that you said I could use Delta and Echo to cross,
14:51but from Quebec eastbound is closed.
14:53Correct.
14:55Roger.
14:56Real good.
14:57Low power.
14:58Just a little.
14:59That's it.
15:00On March 9, 1987, a U.S. Navy A-6 intruder made an emergency barricade landing aboard USS Ranger
15:07at sea.
15:08The aircraft had torn off one landing gear during an earlier landing attempt,
15:12so it could not make a normal arrested landing,
15:15and had to take the barricade after dumping fuel,
15:17with the approach calmly talked down by landing signal officer commander John Bug Roach.
15:23I'm here.
15:27I'm here.
15:28I'm here.
15:30I'm here.
15:33I'm here.
15:38I'm here.
15:40I'm here.
15:41I'm here.
15:41I'm here.
15:42I am here.
15:49I'm here.
15:50I'm here.
15:52I'm here.
15:54I'm here.
15:55I'm here.
15:57I'm here.
15:57I'm here.
15:58I'm here.
15:58In January 2007, a Cessna 172RG made an unintended Gear-up landing
16:04at Charles W. Baker Airport near Millington, Tennessee, United States.
16:09According to the account shared with the original video, the crew had been flying with the gear extended due to
16:15an approaching winter storm and possible icing, then raised it during touch-and-go practice and later failed to extend
16:21the landing gear before touchdown, resulting in a belly slide and airframe damage.
16:43That's nice.
16:44Red 2, you go to the north and west. We will hit the north and two.
16:50Two Sierra, hold short. Charlie, one for the morning.
16:53Two Sierra, roger.
16:55Oh, you need to be advised. Both pilots are out at this time.
16:58Two Sierra, roger.
17:22On July 31, 2016, a motorized hang glider trite crashed during takeoff somewhere in Russia and made a forced landing
17:29in a field. Both the pilot and passenger were uninjured.
17:32There is no independent public reporting or official record available, so the cause can only be stated from the private
17:39video description.
17:41Engine failure right after liftoff because a fuel line slipped off the primer bulb, starving the engine of fuel.
18:03Grab the car.
18:26Let's see.
18:37It's all for you
18:38It's all for you
18:43It's for you
19:10It's all for you
19:13It's all for you
19:14I don't know
19:16What a crap
19:18What a crap
19:20What a crap
19:24What a crap
19:34What a crap
19:35What a crap
19:37What a crap
19:41What a crap
19:41What a crap
19:42What a crap
19:44What a crap
19:44What a crap
19:46What a crap
19:48What a crap
19:50On August 15th, 2019
19:53A motorized hang glider trike
19:56Suffered an engine failure during takeoff
19:58And made an off-airfield forced landing
20:00The pilot was not injured
20:03There is no independent public reporting
20:05Or official record available
20:06So the cause can only be stated at the level provided by the private footage
20:10Loss of engine power on takeoff leading to a forced landing
20:37With the end yang
20:39And then
21:10This is how it works.
21:26this is the moment
21:43and that's what happened, I don't know why.
21:50Why the car broke?
21:58Why the car broke?
22:06On September 15, 2018, two light airplanes, a Cessna U206 and a Lescom 8E,
22:13collided on taxiway Delta at Sky Acres Airport in Millbrook, New York.
22:17The NTSB determined the cause was the Cessna pilot's failure to yield to traffic already established on the taxiway, resulting
22:25in a ground collision.
22:27No injuries were reported, but both aircraft were substantially damaged.
22:48Well, I've been in this case during the cruise that was a very long time, and I think it was
22:51a very long time for a high-term flight.
22:51The NTSB has been in this case in the U.S. in the U.S. in the U.S. and
22:52the F-R-B-E-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R.
