An Emirates Boeing triple seven is in serious trouble on its final approach to Dubai international airport. 300 people cling to their seats as strong gusts shake the plane, preventing it from touching down. Puzzled, the captain decides to go around, but before he can even climb 100 feet, the plane begins to drop. The passengers sense that something is amiss, but in the cockpit, the pilots know that their situation is dire. Will they be able to make it back into the air, or will they come crashing down onto the runway below, with catastrophic consequences? This is the story of Emirates flight 521.

airoplane go brrrr
You are exactly wright, more automation makes flying so much complicated while inducing a false sense of safety.
Ever notice that when the pilot is an Emirati, they never mention his name. When the pilot is a foreign national, they drop the name immediately.
Greeeeen Dot! Always a must watch every time a new video drops!
I feel like I really learned a lot about what happened here in great detail but not too much in terms of overload. Great video. Thank you. Always like your series.
Look who`s back GDA. Love it….Enjoying your shows.
This was truly pathetic behaviour on the part of the pilots. Apart from the question of what indicators to prioritise in both pilots' observations when doing a go-around, TOGA gives you an oomph, which you FEEL. You always feel it, you never fail to feel it. Unless it isn't there.
I don't know what to say…………? Two pilots and neither look at that throttles? How is this possible? There seems to be a major deficit in pilot training concerning cockpit awareness? A pilot eyes should frequently be surveying the controls in the cockpit starting with the throttles, autopilot, elevation, speed, and the copilot to see if he is still awake.
EXCELLENT! Thrilled to watch a new Green Dot, impressed at the level of detail and comprehensive explanation. Thank you!
00:35 Am I the only one that sings along to the theme music every time? Beh-neh-neh-neh-nehhh, Boo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! đ
8:47 "That's a 118° in American English" đđđđđđ
I remember when this happened. I was on an Emirates 777 just a month earlier and was pretty surprised that something like this could have happened to an airline with such a clean safety record
Hi everyone.,
I'm a firefighter in Dubai Airports. I was in this accident
We rescued all passengers, But my friend Jassem Albaloushi He died in this accident I pray to God to have mercy on himđđđ
well done, Green Dot! thank you đ
The captain was a local. Different set of rules for them regarding punishment.
Canât wait for your take on the Jeju accident, thanks for your wonderful presentations.
This was explained much better than Mentor Pilot. Even though I'd already watched his one on this flight, this was thoroughly enjoyable
I save my best meals for the monthly GDA videos, thats the highest honour I can give lol
Please upload more frequently
There should be mandatory prison time for passengers who block emergency evacuation by insisting on taking their carry on bags from overhead lockers. Watch the interior videos after the crash….
A recurring theme in aviation incidents is how no one is actually monitoring crucial parameters like âspeedâ; seems both are just flying the plane
I have been waiting for ages for a new video
Shouldn't FO be monitoring speed, altitude and engine stuff???
Are these pilots dumb???
I wouldnât describe a system as âcleverly designedâ if it should prevent an action when the plane is on the ground, but the action is prevented even though the plane is not on the ground!
Inaccurate
Idiots. Guard the throttles. Airspeed?
Too reliant on automation and didn't monitor critical parameters at all for too many seconds.
Great content as always
You would think when the pilots pushed the Toga button to go around not hearing the engines spool up would have alerted them to the problem ?
i was on the edge of my seat for the whole video, very well explained â¤
Never fly emirates, lot of morons on em
I would like a final show of events in real time just to help convey just how quick everything happens.
sorry for the soul who lost his life fighting the fire this strange accident created
Ugh, I can think of at least five different Airbus systems that wouldnât let this accident happen (same for the SFO incident.)
Automation can be complex, but its implementation doesnât need to be. Airbus integrates most of these systems seamlessly behind the scenes in an intuitive way; Boeing has added many additional safety and convenience features while âalways keeping the pilot in the loopâ – the result of which has become a convoluted mess which is hard to understand and train, though the 787 is much better.
One thing Iâve gotta call out is your explanation of spoilers as âdeflecting the air and pushing the plane into the groundâ – being totally incorrect but a really common misconception.
You might know this, but just for clarification in case anyone is actually curious – people think of them pushing, like moving your hand out a car window and having it pushed down in the wind.
Their true function is so take a âflying planeâ and stop it from âflyingâ essentially. At landing speed, the wings generate enough lift to, well, keep the plane flying. With the spoilers deployed, they basically erase that ~550,000lbs of lift in this case, and transfer it into the wheels/pavement. No deflection or âpushingâ required. They just spoil the wings airflow and lift, hence⌠spoilers.
Same thing when spoilers are used for roll maneuvering in conjunction with ailerons, the low wing in a roll input is deploying them to âdropâ the wing, while the ailerons are actually âdeflectingâ the air for roll input. If significant roll is required, you can see those spoilers really pop up. Much more efficient to achieve such roll control in this method versus having huge ailerons.
How do such terrible trained pilots get to fly passengers aircraft let alone any plane i will not fly this company.
You are my fav air crash channel. Main reason you are my number 1 is the perfect balance of technical and operational insight,but still explained in a way that makes it easy to digest.
Thank you!
Anyone know what happened to the pilots?
it is not a clever design to deactivate the toga button on the ground, who ever did this needs to get fired, if I see a toga button and press it, I also expect it to work
I've been trying to build up the courage to fly for the 1st time ever. Your videos aren't helping lol.
this is entirely boeing's fault, deactivating the toga button makes no sense
If the firefighter didnât die there would be casualties on board rip to him
This wouldn't have happened in an Airbus aircraft because there's no TOGA button, so pilots always have to advance the throttle levers anyway.
It took 7 minutes to evacuate for a reason.I saw the cabin footage of this crash landing with passengers screaming in Tamil. Many were trying to pull their hand luggage from the top and blocking the way. I would have criminally charged anyone who made out with their luggage.
Part of the Swiss cheese was the F/O not being the âPilot Monitoringâ.
His focus should have been on all the instruments scanning quickly for anything out of the ordinary. But like the cheese was only one holeâŚand a BIG ONE at that!đŽđ
why no videos these days?
Man the trip7 ER is a stunningly beautiful bird! Like all this stuff about the crash is interesting but the beauty of that machine has me transfixed.
