Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your Most Amazing host, Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10
Scariest Plane Takeoffs… now I can be quite afraid of flying… but I always try and reassure
myself that flying is still the safest mode of transpot…so don’t be scared while watching
this video as really the chances of it happening to you are slim .

Okay, scary plane takeoffs.
We have a Severe Storm take off at number 10.
This video of a plane taking off in a gale has had over 6 million views on Youtube!
Uploaded in October 2009, the footage is pretty intense and is clearly shot on the camera
or camera phone of a plane passenger somewhat terrified by the situation they’re in.
I think I’d do that…some footage to be found in the wreckage….
Although miraculously, despite a seemingly very bumpy takeoff…they get away!
It sounds like most passengers were bricking it a bit, although I don’t know precisely
what they’re saying as they talking in Russian.
They got lucky, as bad weather is a literal killer when it comes to takeoffs.
This was a scary landing that turned into a scary take-off at number 9.
Plane spotter shot this alarming footage of a boeing 737 aborting its landing….only
it still made contact with the runway, bounced and took off again…can you imagine?
Do you see how the plane sways as it approaches the runway?!
I have been on a plane once when the landing was aborted, but it never hit the ground!
Luckily everyone was fine.
Luckily things turned out alright in the end, but this plane engine caught fire during take-off
at number 8 A Thomas cook plane was taking off from Heraklion
in Crete when the Engine caught fire and smoke is seen by the window.
Can you imagine watching that happen as you say waiting to hit the skies.
Ergh.
7- Plane Crashes on Take Off Most of this list is looking at terrifying
take offs for big planes, but being inside this little twin otter must have been pretty
terrifying.
As the plane takes off, it clearly doesn’t have enough speed and weight and it veers
off into the trees, billowing smoke.
The video description on youtube says that the pilot was okay, but the situation was
very dramatic.
Colombia Cargo crash at number 6 A plane spotter caught the moment a cargo
plane came veering of the runway and crashed in the Colombian city of Puerto Carreno.
The footage shows the shocking moment the plane veered through a fence and crashed into
a field as it skid off the runway.
The crash happened on the 20th December 2016 and 5 people were killed, including one crew
member.
Just a picture here for you at number 5 but it speaks 100% words, we have a shocking near
miss.
It seems here an Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus A340-300 about to take off was in the way
of a UT Air Boeing 767-300 about to land…which could have been catastrophic.
The UTAirplane purportedly aborted the landing.
While people aboard the landing plane probably saw the sudden danger, it is unlikely those
on the plane taxing down the run way knew how close they came to death before takeoff.
4 - Delta Airlines Flight 1141 On August 31st 1988, Delta Airlines Flight
1141 was taking off from Dallas and heading to Utah.
The Plane was scheduled for take off as normal, but at the gate the aircraft was told to hold
for a minute due to the possibility of turbulence.
Eventually the plane took off, but as the wheels left the ground, the plane rolled and
the right wing dropped and caught fire, and the plane’s tail smashed into the ground.
It was not long until the fire spread, engulfing the aircraft.
The Aircraft had 101 passengers on board and 7 crew members, 14 people were killed, including
4 crew.
The majority died from smoke inhalation and burns.
You can listen to the cockpit recording… but I wouldn’t.
This is just as horrifying as Delta Flight 1141, but this one was caught on camera, we
have the shocking Bagram AirBase Case at number 3.
In February 2013, a Cargo Plane was taking off from the Afghan base of Bagram.
Footage of the planes tragic descent was caught on the dashcam of a nearby car…and it is
a really sad sight.
The boeing 747 appeared to stall and simply drop out of the sky.
The driver of the car who shot the footage was totally shocked by what he saw an approached
the crash site.
All 7 crew members on board died.
Also caught on a dashcam, we have this horrifying TransAsia plane crash of 2015 at number 2
Caught on the dashcam of a car on the highway, we see the insane moment a plane failed its
take off, clipped a bridge and landed in a river.
The small plane was carrying 58 people and had just talen off from Taipei’s Sungshan
Airport before falling over the cities National Freeway 1.
26 people on board were killed.
Finally, this is horrendous at number 1….
Spanair 5022 Spanair 5022 was one of the worst takeoff
disasters of all time.
The flight between Barcelona to Gran Canaria was scheduled for 2.42 pm on the 20th August
2008.
The pilot failed to deploy the flaps and slats for take off, so the wings couldn’t generate
enough lift to keep the plane in the air.
When the aircraft left the ground, it rolled and hit the runway, engulfing the plane in
fire.
Of the 172 people on board, 152 people, including all crew, died in the flames.
20 people survived, including a 30 year old Spanish British Duel citizen when was flung
into a nearby stream, saving her from the flames.
So… that was sad.
I want to remind you that plane travel is still the safest form of transport and these
are pretty isolated incidents.
Planes are great, they get you from A to B and have opened up the entire world for us….
You’re more likely to slip on ice in the winter and severely hurt yourself than you
are to be involved in a plane crash…so no fear!
