00:00So, first of all, something happened, the autopilot will disconnect, so you could disconnect, and then the dive begins, now,
00:10here's what happened, first of all, you can see on the screen, the speed is increasing, because we are going
00:17down, the thrust is trying to go down, reducing, because you notice that the plane is increasing the speed, the
00:26clicking sound is the overspeed, we are now in a
00:29in a quite dangerous area, we exceeded the maximum structural speed of the plane, we are going down, quite aggressively,
00:40we are now at 11,600 feet per minute, you can see the ground in front of us.
01:04And look outside, at this stage, negative G will happen, if you are not strapped on your seat, you will
01:11try, you know, you will be lifted up, and everything unsecured will fly over the cabin,
01:19and about 70,000 feet, then somebody, they call a hero, he pushed up on the, on the yoke to
01:27restable, reestablish the, the plane in a secure way.
01:31It was a thunderstorm, a lot of crosswinds, and without a rudder, you know, like,
01:51So a plunge of 16,000 feet over 30 seconds, it will feel like you are on a very, very
01:58vertical roller coaster,
02:00but the difference is that, on the roller coaster, you know what's happening, you know you are going up, and
02:06now you are coming down.
02:07When happens, suddenly, if you are not strapped, you are not strapped with the first seat belt, you will have,
02:13feel the negative G force on your body.
02:16Your body will literally lift from the seat as the plane is going down.
02:2227,000 feet.
02:2626,000...
02:31With the type of descent, um, obviously, the time is a factor. It depends how fast you are going, depends
02:38how long you are descending the rapid.
02:41I think it was still a miracle that, um, nothing else broke apart from the, uh, rudder.
02:47For example, the wings are, undergo, um, very heavy testing during, uh, the manufacturing,
02:55but they do test the flexibility going up and down during turbulence, for example.
03:00Now, if the plane is going down, they have a lot of force coming at them.
03:05And, uh, I think, uh, maybe if it was going further and further, possibly the wings will have detached from
03:11the planes.
03:11I mean, we have accidents in the past that happened, um, and they did disintegrate, almost, uh, in the mid
03:19-air, before touching the ground,
03:20because how fast they were going up.
03:22We were actually, didn't we?
03:23Yeah.
03:24For the sake of 30 seconds to get there.
03:36But this was nothing but a miracle event, because, um, if, for example, there is, uh, uh, the need to
03:47shut down one engine,
03:48for example, we have, uh, um, a fire engine number one, number two, and we need to shut it down.
03:54Or if we have a very strong crosswind during the landing, that's where the rudder is really, really useful.
04:01And without the rudder, it would be very, very difficult to land.
04:04So this was nothing but a miracle, that nothing, uh, hurts, and apart from the captain, unfortunately.
04:10And, uh, and the two pilots were on board, off-duty, that managed to control the plane long enough to
04:18turn back to Tabuk airport and land.
04:21Um, and else, structurally, only the rudder came off, and nothing else.
04:30Okay.
04:32Bye.
04:36Bye.
04:38Bye.
04:39Bye.
04:39Bye.
04:39As, we can.
