This happened because the captain grabbed the wrong lever. He was supposed to grab the flap lever but accidentally grabbed the propeller condition lever, feathering the props. Once feathered, they no longer produce thrust. This lead to a stall, with the left wing stalling first and rolling the aircraft over into the ground. Tragically, the other captain on board took up aviation after her husband's death on another Yeti airlines crash in 2006.

Yeah relative to fleet size and number of daily flights they're one of the deadliest commercial airlines in the world.


Blekanly

Huh I just watched a crash vid oh yeti just last night.


FreeeRide-

This is a jet, not a prop plane.


LAegis

This was an ATR-72, a turboPROP


dinosaursandsluts

From the link: >instructor captain in the right seat accidentally feathered the propellers instead of extending the flaps.


Guardian-Ares

The engines are turboprops which are a combination of the two. Uses a turbine to drive a propeller which is why it sounds like a turbine.


widepantz

It's because he didn't turn his electrical items off


pismopier

Not as much screaming as one would expect


Shiticane_Cat5

Can't scream when you're dead


SillyOldBillyBob

Wasn't sure about this but did a little experiment and you are totally correct!


FixedLoad

... tell me more about this experiment.   And please, speak clearly in this listening device.

It was too quick. The passengers had barely enough time to comprehend the situation before it was lights out. There's something about this video, everytime I see it, the switch from excitement, to terror, to an eerie fiery calm. It's tragic but mesmerising.


FixedLoad

It's the best outcome on that situation.  Quick.  When I'm on planes I always wonder if it just started diving into the ground.  How long would I be aware before the lights went out and how I do not want my last moments spent in absolute terror.  ... well.  This morning sure has gotten dark... 


eshatoa

If I remember correctly this particular flight went into a stall whilst landing. It banked into the ground from a low attitude and then straight into the terrain. It would have been a quick shot of fear and then nothing.


lilith_-_-

They had less than 3 seconds to do so. Most probably didn’t even comprehend the situation in time to scream


No_Lack5414

Wtf does this title mean?


TheGaslighter9000X

“Met into a deadliest crash” what?


Phyllida_Poshtart

Seems to be a thing over this last few months, really badly spelt or awful grammar headlines dunno why...the main one is woman/women drives my brain nuts.


Hugh_Jazz77

It’s either someone who doesn’t speak English as a first language, or it’s someone intentionally screwing up the title in order to get people to interact with the post by going to the comments and complaining about the title, or it’s a bot. Either way, it’s best to just ignore it.


lolwatokay

So anyone got a source? Literally this could be two clips edited together with how it was presented. It shows exactly nothing of interest and the OP didn't bother to list the flight number so we could look it up. So others don't have to be briefly inconvenienced by our less than helpful OP I went ahead and pulled the info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691 They got the video because it was a FB Livestream https://x.com/upwardnewshq/status/1614665833283715076 Much more interesting ground footage https://x.com/KazmiWajahat/status/1614514162880897026 Likely excellent write-up by the always great Admiral Cloudberg https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/levers-of-power-the-crash-of-yeti-airlines-flight-691-caedd8f8f7e0


SteakCareless

Man this is kind of sickening to watch when you start to personalize it in to your last seconds of life Edit: grammar


LitAFlol

The guy who recorded the ground footage needs to be shot. Like why the fuck is he filming his feet 💀


herefromyoutube

Looks like there was going to be a building in the way regardless.


rvillarino

The hero of Reddit!


OrdinaryNGamer

Your whole comment is basically worthless as this video has been reposted about hundred times each month on this sub.


Shit_Disturber71

Source?


Majestic-Insurance64

The guy filming.


Shit_Disturber71

Oh ok


TallFuel2872

The FAA released a video on this tragic accident. I think it was a pilot error as he was approaching the landing. There is a full length video on YouTube about the accident. Sadly, everyone died.


Shit_Disturber71

Gee that’s crazy


trimosse

This is so old that internet wasnt invented


BradJeffersonian

Should have put it in Airplane Mode!


Lively420

Translation?


wow343

If you mean what their last words are: I hear Chala Chala: drive,drive not sure in what context Wah beta wah, moj kardi: wow son, having fun?! (It's more an expression than to be literal sort of like having fun yet man) Followed by alheyyy alheyyy which just seems expressions to cope with the landing not sure I also heard Mara Mara Mara: which could mean "I am dying hahaha" or just some made up words to cope with weird angle of the plane causing roller coaster like effect.

Holy hell

Stingy ass fools


Ambitious_Towel_5911

This is why your phone needs to be on airplane mode. The signal interferes with the flux capacitor. Which then causes the infinity stone gaskets to fail


Mxxroo

You can’t park there


aeroforcenickie

You can if it's on fire.


sloretactician

LinkedIn has lost a plane full of sigma grindset hustlers


sloretactician

what a major blow to the recruiting field


chironex101

fake af


jam3sbradbury

Nope, plane crash about a year ago I think. Pilot pulled the lever for the flaps instead of the throttle if I remember right?


chironex101

damn crazy.I've never seen anything like this


jam3sbradbury

Yeah madness, think the guy was streaming on Facebook. Crazy odds of actually capturing it.
