Air Transat Flight 236 Disaster – Mayday
Faulty maintenance on fuel pumps causes incorrect readings on cockpit equipment and dials. Pilots do not believe readings until it is almost too late. A transatlantic flight nearly ends in disaster but manages to land at a navy base mid-Atlantic with faulty brakes. An amazing look at what exactly happened.

"He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." – John Foster
Engine No. 2 Low Oil Temp, Oil High Pressure…..That’s an airbus for you with all of their computerized electronics!
@ilias2oo6 The pilot exercised very poor judgment and almost cost the lives of everyone on board. Had the island been a couple miles further away, they’d all be dead. The manual clearly states that a fuel leak has to ruled out before opening the crossfeed valves. There WAS a massive fuel leak and not only were the crossfeed valves opened, BUT they STAYED open for the rest of the flight WHILE the first officer was TELLING him it SURE looked like a FUEL LEAK!
@kcchiefs9690 f*** off dont diss on my father prick he did the best thing he could
@mojawkal i’m reporting you to youtube fuckface direspectfull c***
@theknightlynews dont insult my father stupid b******
@ilias2oo6 You you don’t have a f****** clue about being the captain of an airliner then. The fuel displays showed levels far below normal consumption, and he still authorized a cross feed. That’s a serious mistake, and totally against Airbus’s recomendations.
@ilias2oo6 Please seek professional help.
@Ilias2oo6Then u are a dumbass just like ur father
@mojawkal f*** u homosexual he was my dad
@theknightlynews the captain is more profesional than you are,you are just an amateur f***** who knows nothing,shut the f*** up and dont questions a professional actions,mother f****** noob
@jaflyor theyre professionals shot the fock op homo
Flying with a fuel imbalance would not be a disaster. Flying with no fuel is. In light of that, it was a stupid decision of the captain not to err on the side of safety and close the crossfeed valve ESPECIALLY after all the calculations showed a fuel leak. For pete’s sake, that’s what being a captain is all about.
V………………………nice
Wow, so they suspected a fuel leak on the right side but they still left the XFeed on????
The captain is A dumbass at the beging..he think himself he is smarter than the computers on board one of the most state of art aircraft
@ilias2oo6Shows how much of a dumbass you are. I never said anyone died. Go troll on someone else.
@EddieLivesOnLincoln yea everytime this b**** appears in the video i immediatly skip so i dont need to listen to her c***,f****** b**** should have died
@chickypunk18 no one died,the f*** is wrong with you b****
OMG this made me burst into tears!
@Mbove22 it dosnt crash it makes it to land but it has a very rough landing and destroys all the tiers and all the people live! SPOILER
I think this almost-disaster was caused by 2 major issues.1. Sloppy and incompetent maintenance practices that were sanctioned by management at Air Transat.2. Pilot error- a) not trusting their instruments and taking warnings seriously enough. b) the captain’s denial and insistence that it must be a computer error c) Maybe a cockpit mgmt problem, where the copilot did not speak up when the captain was in denial. This is why they didn’t land at nearest airport.But so glad it all worked out.
The b**** at 4:55 only whines about everything. Delays aren’t the airline’s fault most of the time. Ground handling, catering, water, lavatory, gate checked bags and strollers. Those can all cause delays. I don’t understand how this man can live with this woman. I worked on Transat’s planes (as well as many other companies’) and as far as passenger service goes, they’re a really good airline.
Hey, You Should Make a Ship/Boat crash/accidents channel too.
@Mbove22 NO WAI!
Although it was the pilots that caused this problem, hats off to them for handling it and getting everyone safely back on the ground!
