On 21 August 1995, a blade on the left-side propeller of Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 529 breaks off. The imbalance of the rotating propeller causes the engine to partly tear itself from its mounting, creating excessive drag. The aircraft rapidly loses altitude and crashes, killing nine people. Chlorine deposits in the blade led to the development of corrosion pits and fatigue cracks, causing it to weaken and break.

I worked for ASA for 25 years. The EMB-120 was always my favorite plane to work on. God bless all those affected by this tragedy.
10 or 15 years ago we had a Cessna 182 I believe stop for fuel at our local airport.
700 ft after takeoff, the crankshaft sheered at the prop. The pilot and his wife both parishad.
They should add some newer episodes
Excellent special effects! Very well done!
Thank God!!! Rest In Heaven Captain Galloway 👨✈️ What a Sacrifice..😢
Forget about the cracks. I want to know why those people couldn't get off that plane. All I kept thinking was breakthrough!
This is the most heartbreaking episode, as it affected all the parties involved tremendously.
thumbs down .. way to many ad`s and to Hollywooded up.. don`t waste your time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having been burned in a workplace fire a year ago I know what the burn victims went thru, in my case it was only 2nd degree burns mostly on one arm which needed skin grafts, of course the graft comes from another part of your body which creates another wound than in my case hurt worse than the arm burn. 2-3 days in the hospital and 6 weeks recovering at home, multiple trips 4 hours each way for followup treatments, dressing changes, physical therapy. The skin is NEVER the same again, nerve endings and sweat glands get damaged/destroyed, so part of my grafted area is semi numb, another part ithe skin s very delicate and tight.
46:05 "It all comes down to money." Well… that's only true in a Capitalist system where PROFITS are maximized at the expense of passengers' lives. In fact, PROFIT supersedes all other concerns in our system.
I hope that controller faced severe consequence for not alerting the emergency crews like the pilot asked.
"Led" to horrific crash, not "lead" to horrific crash since it's in the past tense.
Well greatly done fellows!! Congratulations. This is the most heartbreaking episode, as it affected all the parties involved tremendously.
You can still fly even without propellers. Just glide it down
46:22. Hey this guy WILL PAY an extra 2.00$!!!!! That’s some next level dedication right there. 2$. More people need to follow this man.
In the late '80s or either early 90s an ASA plane was coming from Atlanta Georgia going to Brunswick Georgia something happened to the propeller I think it overspeed and it crashed like 5 minutes before landing at Brunswick Georgia and killed everybody on board including a congressman you have to look it up I'm not sure exactly what year it was but I do remember everybody was killed!!!
I forgot to say that is the same plane that this story is about it was made in Brazil!!!
When I was 2 or 3 we crossed the Atlantic in a propeller plane. It took 18 hours. Thank goodness I was a child.
Rip Galloway😢
Didn’t tell the pilot about the damage she seen? She would make a great 911 dispatcher.
bigboy eienstien.
David was a hero helping co pilot Matt
Duh …..should I look out the window? Duh ..duh. I don't know.
Good luck to the burned people!
sometimes i dont get it why pilots wouldnt tell ATC what's going on with their plane …
ALL ABOUT CORPORATE GREED & THAT DONT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT PPL WE ARE JUST COLLATERAL DAMAGE & EXPENDABLE JUST LIKE IDIOT GENERAL S SEND TROOP KNOWING ITS CURTAIN DEATH & NO RETURN 👍that U can BELIEVE AS FACT
Why did he put his hand on the other pilots hand?
Great job air traffic control. You had one job….
The Brazillia is basically a small Airbus, and no, not an A320
When you see a mustache like that, you know your flight is doomed.
DeathSantis. Boarders from the Miami side waters.
I always new that was a stupid design
Propeller of flight 529 falls off, It all started back in 1903 bla bla bla. Get on with it already. 10 minute video at most, unless of course you are trying to put people to sleep.
how disgustingly sick is your god for letting this happen
I once saw a documentary; auto parts, used plane parts, plane parts from previously crashed planes are being used on older and new planes!! !!😩
A friend flew his Bianca Champ with the 2-cyl Franklin engine and wooden prop from Charleston to Greenville (SC) one fine day. As the Champ touched down he noticed a shudder coming off the throttle, so taxied to the service area. When he shut the engine down, the wooden prop fell off onto the tarmac as the service manager came over and asked ,"Can we help you with something?"
I used to fly with Bill so he could sit in front as I was always ready to prop start it.
As a person who watches a lot of these type vids i can say this one is,hands down,the best aircrash doc iv evr watched.riveting,harrowing.peace to those touxhed by this tragedy and those who reproduced it for us.
