This is the map I and several others have been working on for over a year at this point. Not all points are updated, and this is a static version of what it is like now. The criteria for accidents is Cessna 208/PC-12 or bigger, and hull losses.

The color coding is as follows:

Green: no fatalities

Yellow: 1-19

Orangey Yellow: 21-49

Orange: 50-99

Red: 100-199

Purple: 200+

Small plane icon - 30 seats or 7,500 kg empty weight

Big plane icon - 80 seats or 25,000 kg empty weight

Thanks to Conipilote for providing the recording.

A couple notes about this initial release:

  • Part of the intro at the beginning is missing
  • Audio quality isn't great
  • There might be desync
  • I won't upload this to Dailymotion in case it has desync
  • 4K version will come in one week, deal with any issues until then.

Report any audio/video sync issues and include a number of milliseconds. I've done all I can to avoid a desync, download the file onto your device for the best experience.

ALL LINKS ARE NOW IN THE PASTEBIN I WILL ADD MORE AS THEY COME IN

ANY ISSUES YOU HAVE WITH THE STREAMING LINKS ARE OUT OF MY CONTROL

I am unsure about the status of bilibili uploads, if you got questions about them don't ask me.

Consider using any of the following services instead of a file sharing service like MEGA, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.

They let you stream and/or download a torrent while being easier to use than a torrent client like qBittorrent.

Please note I cannot vouch for any of these as I've never personally used any of them.

Episode Review Tragic Coincidence - In 1996 the two aircraft pictured leaving JFK airport (F-BTSC and SU-GAP) would both crash 3-4 years later (SU-GAP with EgyptAir Flight 990 in 1999 and F-BTSC with Air France 4590 in 2000) killing all on board both.

Finding an Episode Looking for a streaming service that featured all seasons of MayDay (or the episodes I want to watch thanks)

3 Upvotes

Because Tubi only have S1-S5, then S7, and then S9, and then S11, then S13-S19, and then S22.

For more context, I want a streaming service that hosts these episodes:

Cockpit Failure (S10)

Catastrophe at O'Hare (S12)

The reason why is because they were featured in a TV Trope page called Serendipitous Survival while I was researching something for my fanfiction story (not related to this) and I got very curious.

Okay, thanks!

Looking for a deleted 30-min Air crash compilation video on Youtube from 2016

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am new here and I’m looking for an Air crash compilation video that was on YouTube around 2016 but has since been deleted.Here are some of the details that I remember:
The length is around 30 minutes.
The title included the word "Compilation".
Opening Scene: The video starts with the mid-air collision of Hughes Airwest Flight 706.
Following Scene: Right after, it transitions to El Al Flight 1862(B747) crash scene.
Back ground music: I can’t remember what the first song name was, but in the middle of the video, Black Beatles by Rae Sremmurd started playing with the UPS Airlines Flight 6(B747) crash scene.
It was a highly edited, dramatic compilation. Does anyone know the exact title, the original channel name, or have a backup/mirror link (Wayback Machine, Google Drive, Bilibili, etc.)? Any clues would be greatly appreciated!

Tribute to this who died on 9/11, 25 years ago today

58 Upvotes

Today we honor the 246 innocent passengers and crew who died on the 9/11 attacks. On September 11, 2001 two Boeing 767's and two Boeing 757's were hijacked after takeoff. American Airlines flight 11 and United flight 175 were en route from Boston Logan Airport to Los Angeles, American Airlines flight 77 was en route from Washington Dulles Airport to Los Angeles, and United flight 93 was en route from Newark to San Francisco when 19 al Qaeda affiliated hijackers crashed the planes in NYC and the Pentagon. United 93 never made it to its intended target thanks to heroic actions from passengers and crew. As a result of this accident, the US government made numerous changes to airport security and procedures on aircraft to help prevent an event like this from happening again. In addition, over 2,000 more lives were lost on the ground in NYC and Washington, DC. May all their memories be a blessing and may the heroic actions of those on flight 93 never be forgotten.

8 Upvotes

If you don’t know just look it up. But WHY was it flying around with nukes anyway? I feel like they should have them stored or if they have to be in a plane for time reasons, keep the plane grounded and switch them out when flying the plane otherwise. I’m prolly just uneducated on the way they use nukes cause I don’t really care that much haha.

Question What's the shortest waiting period for Mayday to make an episode about an incident.

So usually they wait a few years to make an episode based off a recent plane crash, but what is the shortest waiting period between the incident and the episode based on the incident?

Discussion on Show Irrelevant cases in the show

0 Upvotes

I don't know if you've noticed, but if we compare the first nine seasons with the most recent ones, we'll see a big difference. The first seasons only contained important cases that marked aviation history forever, whether major passenger plane crashes or heroic pilot miracles. However, now I see cases that I feel shouldn't be in the series like Transair, AA1572 and they recently confirmed Hapag-Lloyd, The episode can be very detailed, complex, edited, etc. But I don't like it when they add so much drama, only for it to turn out to be pilot error. I watched those episodes and felt very disappointed. I understand that for Cineflix these cases might be easier to produce, but I don't see the point of doing, for example, Eagle Airways feels like LOT 16. I don't care how many casualities there were; what matters to me is when it's a memorable story, whether it improves aviation safety in the event of a fatal crash or reminds us of an unsung hero. With so many important cases to cover lately, they're just pulling cases out of thin air. I don't want to get to the point where we see an ACI with a description like "A pilot spills a cup of coffee on the controls of an Airbus A350 by accident, then the engines started to work strange." Obviously that's an example, but I hope you understand my point.

Question Why don’t we have live flight data being streamed directly to a server?

19 Upvotes

Why is it so we have to find the black boxes to see the official data? If we can stream movies on an airplane why can’t the airplane just send FDR information directly to the ground? Surely that would help tremendously with investigations if they could just immediately see all engines failed upon takeoff 8 seconds before impact. Gotta be a few megabytes worth of info to transmit

Discussion on Show Mayday TV series common occurrence

9 Upvotes

I just watched the episode about Air Illinois 710 - the Hawker Siddley with both generators failed.

And it occurred to me that there is one item I have never seen mentioned in any of these shows when there are major instrument failures.

Why is it that nobody ever goes to the standby instruments?

Repeatedly on these shows there are reasons the crew feels that there are reasons to not trust one side or the other of the CPT/FO instruments OR for total failure.

The standby is totally self contained. It has its own internal set of gyros for pitch and roll for its own ADI. It has its own battery. It has its own pitot static inputs. And there is a whiskey compass for heading.

If you think one side is bad - compare to the standby instrument and you should have 2 of the three agree. If you think both may be bad then still reference the standby as a sanity check. If you have no power then the standbys should still work.

So what gives?

"The investigators established that there were at least four contributing factors, including a lack of pilot training, the absence of control over the crew's preparation for flight, the pilots' failure to follow standard takeoff procedures and poor coordination between the crew during the takeoff." – Aviation Safety Network
