19 SECONDS from Collision | Easyjet 6074
🕑 Added 2023-03-26 19:27:59 +0000 UTCOn September 15th, 2006, an EasyJet Airbus A319 en route from Alicante in Spain to Bristol in the UK, suffered a dramatic failure over North-West France. The pilots of the aircraft were effectively flying blind, as they tried to understand what had gone wrong. Would they be able to make it to an airport before their situation deteriorated? And what else would go wrong before they could restore function to their plane's systems? This video explores the events of this day, and the important safety lessons which resulted.

Thank you very much! It was a great suggestion, do keep them coming!
I'm chuffed my suggestion ended up being the impetus for this very well produced episode. Very impressed to see from suggestion to the final video happen in just over three weeks. So I have subscribed as a way of saying great work team - and thanks!
actually, not only as a pilot, but also in other roles, e.g., aerospace engineer or an air traffic controller.
Btw, I've finally articulated one of the strongest reasons I find your videos intellectually rewarding: your videos invite me to ask myself a question "what would I have done as a pilot in this situation?" while pushing the common "hindsight" judgement away from the picture till the very end.
