Air Emergency (2003–…): Season 16, Episode 8 - River Runway - full transcript

After losing both engines and all electrical power in a violent storm, the pilots of Garuda Indonesia Flight 421 manage a remarkable emergency landing.

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}violent turbulence rocks Garuda flight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}41 stop it stop it was a lot closer

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the shaking was so violent I almost lost

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}control of the plane of the ultrasonic

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}terrified passengers just want the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}nightmare to end

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I was scared extremely scared

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}instead the white-knuckle ride gets much

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}worse

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine would flamed out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}and in your to flavor



{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}you're in extreme dire circumstances

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}when you have a dual engine flameout the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}56 Tong jet is falling from the sky

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}please forgive our sins let us have the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}strength to save our passengers no I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}felt that death was really upon us we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}were about to face our fate some of that

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}lucky hit the swarthy and so we trade

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a Boeing 737 cruises high above the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}islands of Indonesia the crew of Garuda

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Indonesia 41 is about halfway through a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}short domestic flight sad it'll come

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Masuda we were at 28,000 feet on the way

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to a digital airport in your jakarta the



{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}user data

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}captain abdul razzaq is a senior pilot

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}with Indonesia's national airline how

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}does the weather look at yoga cotton his

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}first officer is Harry gonna lie

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}should be fine but they might be a bit

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}of rain top top might be none I had

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flown several times with hairy guna Juan

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}so it was nothing new we knew each other

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}quite well but it was a long video today

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the cabin crew is responsible for 54

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}passengers madam can I offer you a drink

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}yes I'll have tea please - who was on Oh

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}has been a Garuda flight attendant for

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}16 years so if he's no money went on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}barn say something but no everything was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}normal

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}we offered food and drinks for the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}passengers we checked the cabin and we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}chatted like a big long I love the hell

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}of a new sushi sushi aunty is a senior

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}government official on her way to an

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}important meeting because of work I fly

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}often and I've done so since the 70s I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}really love flying

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}how does think about the flight is a 60

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}minute trip from Matara

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}on the resort island of Lombok to yoyo

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Carter on the main island of Java

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}January is the rainy season when the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}weather is unpredictable let's avoid

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that sir say heading 300

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}patrol garuda for two one request

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}heading three zero zero to avoid some

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}weather up ahead

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}throw to 41 confirmed heading three zero

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}zero by direct Bravo alpha and ebf

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}declaring water air traffic control

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}authorizes a slight course correction to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}steer the plane around some looming

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}clouds then twice yes the weather was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}just like any other afternoon there was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}no turbulence we could see from the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}cabin that it was bright outside it was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}very normal but soon more large storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}clouds appear in their path

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}what is it I'm not be among one mighty

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}join a lot I'm not young I could see the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}green yellow and red on the radar and he

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}knew that the safest route would be

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}towards the green a lot he - I think we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}just veer little to the left into that

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}green gap should be fine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the weather ahead could make for a bumpy

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}ride

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}prepare the cabin three little

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}turbulence hopefully won't be due up yes

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}cat as a precaution the passengers are

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}advised to fasten their seatbelts it's a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}beginning of yes I do I think I'm I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}never thought it was something unusual

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I've been asked to put my seatbelt on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}many times before but I'm but on the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}other

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it's yours

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}reporter one request clear after death

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to flight level 1 9 0 root of 4 2 1 you

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}are clear to 1 9 0

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the Garuda flight is now set to begin

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}its approach

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}so controllers clear them to descend but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}moments later the weather is suddenly

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}much worse

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}where did this come from

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}well we're ended now stop it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that's out the lot Mejia that I had

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}directed the plane towards the green he

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}chose to sneeze deduct it out but as

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}soon as I entered the cloud everything

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}went red Yatta Yatta Yatta Yatta Mira

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}this was a massive supercell it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}encompassed a large amount of area that

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the pilots were forced to navigate in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}messiah hassan left out get Scully I was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}extremely surprised we'd already entered

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the cloud so like it or not we had to go

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}through the storm Sahara Slovakian

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}little Pawan it was leading the sudden

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}turbulence is far worse than anyone in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the cabin was expecting

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}well my stupid enemy tried saying we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}started to feel the plane shaking

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}violently and some people started to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}scream the turbulence made walking

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}impossible the trays were flying around

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it is was that Madonna I was afraid I'd

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}fallen somewhere

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}South Dakota Nebraska the shaking was so

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}violent I almost lost control of the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}plane deductible rock-solid

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engines the captain spots a serious

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}problem

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}what is your drop they're suddenly

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}losing engine power increasing trust

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}keep your eyes on derp sir moments later

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the crisis gets even worse

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the vent

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a ninja to third grade

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}both engines have flamed out the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}combustion process extinguished you're

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in your extreme dire circumstances when

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}you have a dual engine flameout the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}plane now has no thrust at all inside

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they've lost primary electricity all

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}systems switched a backup power all of a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}sudden the emergency lights came on I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was shocked to see that captain Rose axe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}struggles to keep the plane steady as

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the altitude starts to drop I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}immediately yelled for the emergency

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}checklist emergency take please perform

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine flameout procedure

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine starts which is the flight and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}just us was just a flight you take both

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}start levers for both the number one and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a number two engine and put them back in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the run position and then you wait to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}see if the engines light off

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the restock procedure demands patience

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}will do the timing we timed it for 30

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}seconds as is the protocol and waited

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for them to light up straw detailer do

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}boo second did you like

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a million that's one way I'm gonna lose

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}her back I don't get the more like I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thought I probably wouldn't see my

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}husband or children again

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I was praying for God to help me because

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I wasn't ready to die

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}by now the engines should have restarted

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but both of them are still dead try it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}again okay let's go

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine starts switches to flight which

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}is the play the plane is now dropping a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thousand feet every 15 seconds that's an

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}extreme emergency you have very little

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}options and immediate action is required

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for the second time the garuda pilots

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}try and fail to restart their crippled

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines now only minutes from hitting

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the ground they're running out of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}options

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}sturla Oh mother suave yeah after the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines wouldn't start a second time

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I knew we still had our auxiliary power

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}unit the APU unit if you the APU is a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}jet fuel powered generator that provides

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}electrical power for the aircraft the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}APU may be their only hope

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}stop it to you

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but as they try to start it catastrophe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}strikes when he tried to turn on the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}standby generator everything shut down

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}this war okay Elizabeth Marti Gobel is

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}fluent in instrument Marty but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}electricity was gone

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight instruments gone everything went

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}dark

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I had no tools to fly the plane but it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was needed

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}controllers are stunned to see flight 41

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}vanished from radar Garuda 421 do you

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}read me

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}421 these reports your position

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}you were still within the severe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}turbulence we had tried everything in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the book so my co-pilot grabbed the mic

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}and yelled Mayday Mayday Mayday they do

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but controllers can't hear the desperate

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}call the route of four to one do you

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}read me

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}he's report your position

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they've lost all contact with the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}stricken plane

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I heard Mayday Mayday

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}then I overheard they were saying no

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}power no power that's when I realized

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the plane had no working engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}everything was off they would have the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}standby attitude indicator or horizon

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the standby airspeed indicator and a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}magnetic compass we're in God's hands

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}now

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the pilots pray for help please forgive

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}our sins

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}let us have the strength to save up

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}passengers I felt that death was really

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}upon us we were about to face our fate

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}and so we prayed dr. Aziz Abdullah sad

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it's money I lost on me I was scared

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}extremely scared I said some prayers I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}asked God to help us I prayed my last

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}rites and begged for God's forgiveness I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}kept praying and praying that's all I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}could do say blood yeah

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the 56 tons yet with no power is falling

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}fast but the pilots aren't giving up

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}let's see if we can find the subs in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}there put the airplane would be gliding

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it would be losing altitude

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but the airplane continues to fly

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}whether the engines are running or not

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}optimal speed for drift op yes sir into

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a good perceptive that I actually

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}couldn't see the standby instruments

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they were so small so I had to rely on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}my co-pilot

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Vanya what would drift up to one two

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}dots do you want to current speed please

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}two three five little speed

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it would be very challenging to try to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}land a 737 without power and without any

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}type of assistance

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}at roughly 8000 feet Garuda flight 41

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}finally escapes the storm okay let's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}figure out where we are

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but the captain's task still seems

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}impossible landing a plane with no

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines and no electronic guidance Judy

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Zhang DW somebody hub I didn't even know

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}where we were because my instruments

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}were dead what's the airport the nearest

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}airport is now behind them and they're

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}too low to circle back they've missed

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}their last chance for a controlled

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}landing we have to land somewhere let's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}see we've got a softly muffled up

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thought the plane weighs 56 tons yeah

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}you can imagine how fast we were

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}descending Kubala

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}we had to decide in seconds where we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}could land the plane to come Oh II

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thought I heard us come on aah

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}dropping lower and lower the crew of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}garuda four-to-one scrambles to find

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}somewhere to land negative to risky

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}landing in the rice paddy could have

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}cartwheeled the airplane it could have

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}made the airplane break in several

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}pieces as well

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}with his plane falling fast and no other

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}option in sight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}captain Rose AK decides to do something

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}few pilots have ever tried okay

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}watch my speed the solo river is narrow

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}and twisting ditching a 737 on it won't

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}be easy but that Mardela even back but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that mark for South you thought but I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}believe the plane would suffer less from

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the impact he thought and we'd have a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}better chance of surviving but Slama

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}must see a dot up up but there's another

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}obstacle bridge

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}can we go under it sir no Tabata I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}wanted to pass under the bridge but I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}could make out that there were concrete

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}pillars underneath it yeah

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}captain Rose ak makes a split-second

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}decision let's circle around and put it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}down over there turn with me turning

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}looping back could give them a longer

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}stretch of river to land on but they're

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}running out of time

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in order to turn the aircraft relies on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}its hydraulic system and the hydraulics

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}need engine power a large amount of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}force is required without hydraulics it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}would be the equivalent of trying to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}drive your car without power steering

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}assistance yep

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Phillip dia my co-pilot shouted out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}because he felt the turn was too sharp

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but I told him we have no choice if we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}don't do this we will not make it to the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}river

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}he thought that sound bad diesel waited

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for the first time I saw a river a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}bridge and rice fields but I was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}confused there was no runway

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}speed once I'm Raziel sir

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they'll do as they line up with a river

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}first officer guna one notices another

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}problem which the judge

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Britt's happy more than 80 feet well

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}good it turns out I had to land a plane

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}between two bridges 151 the cabin risk

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for landing principal London Bridge for

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}London Bridge for landing everyone

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}brings for landing

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}okay okay okay here we go

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}whoopee

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}did he want you to save him from the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}beginning I had left it all to God I had

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}no more fear I had hopes that I could

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}survive this and that the passengers

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}would be saved to the desktop

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}like 41 hits the water at almost 200

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}miles an hour

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Oh

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the cabin of flight 41 has been

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}demolished

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}website with a busy daddy when the plane

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}finally stopped after the emergency

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}landing I was very relieved and grateful

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}he's having out humbly hell I wondered

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}if there was blood on my feet

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}except it turned out it was just water I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}said thank God I survived but batteries

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}have not all the hawk but I have indeed

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}SS luck I began the evacuation process I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}helped the passengers who were near me

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}at the front of the plane

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thank you good let's check on the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}passages

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}from the emergency exit passengers can

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}wade safely to shore sex wires who the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}fuck was I was the last person to leave

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the claim grew out that it was a fetus

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}lily of the 60 passengers and crew on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}board all but one make it out alive

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I'm very surprised there was only one

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}fatality is a sure miracle that more

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}people did not perish in the accident

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}despite the skillful landing the site of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a 737 ditched in an Indonesian River is

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}disturbing as crews remove wreckage from

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the Solow River the nation looks for

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}answers how could a state-of-the-art

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}airplane simply shut down in midair

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the job of figuring out what brought

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}down Garuda flight 41 falls to a team of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Indonesian investigators their first

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}priority is to recover the planes black

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}boxes it will reveal all the information

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}meaning all of the engine behavior all

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}of the pilot communications so we really

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}really need this black box while they

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}wait for word on the flight recorders

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators speak to captain Rose ACK

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thank you for coming captain they want

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to learn more about the pilot behind

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}this landing thank you he has 14,000

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hours of flying times but getting here

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was not easy growing up poor he sold

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}vegetables in the streets of Jakarta his

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}family unable to afford school so my

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}only chance for an education was to win

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}a scholarship there were thousands of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}people who applied to the national

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight school and I was lucky enough to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}be one of the 56 students who graduated

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in my year Lauren young a hasan bit

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}loose captain Rose AK quickly rose

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}through the ranks at Garuda sir sounded

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the sukkah ask Ali but I was extremely

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}happy to join the biggest airline in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Indonesia it was a dream come true

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}sadi Indonesia India so you tell me

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}exactly what happened I've never

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}experienced an engine flameout before I

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thought these engines could handle

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}anything

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}my first big question is what caused the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines flame out simultaneously

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}why couldn't you relight them we tried

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}maybe they hadn't fault didn't make

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}sense

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the downed Boeing plane was equipped

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}with two cfm56 engines one of the most

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}advanced turbofan designs in the world

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the power plant draws in cold air with a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}large fan at the inlet a series of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}blades then compress some of the air

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}before it's mixed with fuel and ignited

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in the burner combustion spins turbines

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in the core that drive the engine and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}push hot exhaust gasses out of the rear

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}nozzle at high speed so there's probably

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}four to six thousand cfm56 in use at the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}moment it's a very reliable engine and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}has a very good history let's take a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}look at their current man but as

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators learn even the best engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}isn't foolproof picasso's d there were

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}some cases with similar aircraft where

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engine flamed out Dianna's a limited

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}eddie in 1988 TACA flight 110 got caught

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in a violent thunderstorm flying from

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the LEAs to new orleans

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}both engines on the brand-new 737 flamed

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}out the pilot managed to make an

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}emergency landing on a grass covered

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}levee

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators discover that in response

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to the near disaster with the ta??a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight the manufacturer redesigned the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine a new design changed the shape of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the spinner and increased the distance

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}between the fan motor and the splitter

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to better deflect moisture from the core

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they found that the dome shape worked

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}better for both ice and hail so why did

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}this redesigned engine now fail see it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}doesn't make any sense I was surprised

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that the dual engine flameout secured to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engine that has been modified for a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}precipitation engineers run a series of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}tests on the two engines they're looking

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for any defect that might explain the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}midair failure they find nothing no

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}mechanical faults of any kind everything

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}seems to be good my opinion was that the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine including the modification was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}working as a design so my question was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}what caused the engines fly out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}at the crash site a new development

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}brings hope of finding some answers

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}divers have recovered the aircraft's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight data recorder

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}stick a look at this investigators focus

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}on the engine performance numbers now

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}check out the fuel floor right here the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}data shows that when the plane entered

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the store fuel consumption shot up

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but despite the higher fuel flow engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}speed remained constant

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}and yet the engine rotation remains the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}same and does not increase it tells

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators that the engines were

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}working hard battling against the heavy

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}rainstorm your flow would go up because

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}of the ingested water because it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}increased air density and then suddenly

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engines died what changed the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}plane's engines were specifically

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}designed to handle large volumes of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}water investigators see nothing in the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}data to explain why they suddenly cut

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}what went wrong is still a mystery but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}just as one lead fails to pan out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}another turns up

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}searchers pull the cockpit voice

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}recorder from the mud of the solo rivers

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}so let's hear what was happening inside

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the cockpit at the start of the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}recording the audio quality is good but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}soon noise from the pounding storm makes

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it almost impossible to decipher sounds

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in the cockpit can you isolate the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}voices investigators can no longer make

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}out what the pilots are saying they were

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}unable to filter the exterior noise out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to listen to the conversation of the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}pilots because it was that severe it was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}super super loud when we listened to the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}CVR is really hard to understand stop

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}rewind

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to try again then in the last seconds of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the recording a nonhuman voice can be

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}heard

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}say okay

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it's a ground proximity warning

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators have stumbled across a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}huge clue

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}nope that's right can't be at 18,000

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}feet the on-board computer detected

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}something solid below the plane

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}something as solid as terrain and our

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}theory and I was surprised first there

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was not a vein in the area there's no

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}amount of rain in the world can trigger

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that warning what was happening

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Indonesian investigators struggled to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}understand why a terrain warning sounded

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}aboard Garuda four-to-one when the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}aircraft was still at 18,000 feet amid

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the wreckage the planes nose cone or

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}radome provides a critical clue come see

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}this for second it was beat up pretty

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}bad it almost looked like someone had

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}gone out with a ball-peen hammer and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}took aggression out on the radome of the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}aircraft these I'd never seen this

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}before yeah there's only one thing this

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}could be hail

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it's now clear that the violent storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the crew encountered contained enough

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hail to damage the nose and to trigger

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the ground proximity warning the hail

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was estimated to be the size of tennis

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}balls which is enormous and detrimental

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to the aircraft part of the engines

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}recent modifications had specifically to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}do with hail the engine is designed to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}handle 10 grams per meter cubed a fairly

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}large amount of precipitation

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators wonder did the massive

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}storm throw more rain and hail than that

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}at flight four to one's engines they

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}take the sound of the rain and hail

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hitting the Garuda cockpit at the moment

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engines flamed out and compare it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}with cockpit recordings of other flights

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hit by severe storms

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}these numbers match up the comparison

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}shows that the garuda flight flew into

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}precipitation heavier than any storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}ever recorded the loudness of the storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}along with the engines performance data

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}tells investigators how much rain and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hail the 737 likely encountered that's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}insane and base of our deaths we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}conclude that the amount of ice was more

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}than 18 grams per cubic meters these

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines were well in excess of the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}manufacturers tested criteria it was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}almost double the amount of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}precipitation water and hail injected

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}into the engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators have compiled convincing

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}data on what caused the dual engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flameout but to be absolutely sure they

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}want to put their analysis to the test

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines power on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}okay it's uh add some water and ice the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}NTSC wanted to determine how much water

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was actually ingested and if the engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}would continue running so they went and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}sprayed to the inlet of the engine the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}manufacturer's recommended amount and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engine ran perfectly bringing it up

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}now they took the engine and increase

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the water flow into the inlet of the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine to what was calibrated that they

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}had experienced during the flight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I think we have our answers here why the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engines died the engine test leaves no

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}doubt that was a big aha moment for them

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}because adding the ice to the water

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}cause the engine to finally stop a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}violent storm combining heavy rain and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}giant hail extinguished both engines on

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight four two one

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but the investigation isn't over there's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}another mystery still to solve

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}why did flight 41 fly into such a severe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}storm in the first place why were the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}737s advanced navigation systems let's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}avoid that sir not enough to help the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}crew steer clear of dangerous weather

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators review the satellite

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}weather data from the day of the crash

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}let's take a look at this okay your

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}track took you straight into the worst

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}part of the storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}why did captain Rosa choose such a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}dangerous relia the planes weather radar

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}should have helped them find a way

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}around the storm why would you enter the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}store

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}why not detour I think we just fear lil

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to the left into that green gap should

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}be fine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}pilots were the impression that they had

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}an opening that went all the way through

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the weather the radar showed green we

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}should have been safe why would your

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}radar indicate a safe passage I don't

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}know

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but suddenly everything changed it seems

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the radar didn't pick up the danger

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}ahead the alley that they were trying to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}go down closed up on them and was not

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the good flight path that they were

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hoping investigators need to know why

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}stop it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}so this they consult a radar expert it's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}where they entered the store and learned

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that pilots can face the dangers of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}something called radar shadowing radar

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}shadowing is the radars inability to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}identify other weather that could be in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}front of you that you're trying to avoid

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}radar shadow radar shadows occur when

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}precipitation is so severe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}radio waves can't penetrate the skies

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}ahead a shadow appears on the pilots

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}screen as a dark gap so it would be

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}deceiving that you were flying into some

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}good weather and in reality you were

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}entering into another severe storm the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}garuda planes dangerous flight path

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}finally makes sense so what you're

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}saying is they sought refuge on the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}radar shadow the crew didn't realize

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they were flying into weather severe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}enough to knock out their engines but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}there's still one unanswered question

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the hailstorm killed the engines but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}what killed the 737s power supply

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but I hear the campus duty but diba the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}plane lost its electrical supplies which

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}means there was no power left on board

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}at all we were very concerned and needed

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to find out why this happens electrical

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}something obviously investigators know

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that Garuda flight 41 somehow lost all

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}electrical power if they hadn't lost

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}power

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they could have restarted the engines

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}once they were outside the store what

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}happened but they still don't understand

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}how that happened

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}thanks for coming captain please have a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}seat investigators hope captain Rosa can

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}remember some overlooked detail I just

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}have a few more questions nope

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}take us through exactly what happened

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}after the engines flamed out as soon as

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engines died we followed the relay

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}procedure they followed procedure to the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}penny when the engines didn't realize

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}they tried to start the auxiliary power

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}unit to restore electricity to the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}entire plane and then what happened

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}disaster start a tu

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}whose also hold

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}unfortunately after two attempts to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}restart the engines and trying to start

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the APU it depleted the battery

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}heavy-duty aircraft batteries almost

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}never die mid-flight so why did this one

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the captain doesn't have the answer but

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}he does provide one very important clue

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}is there anything else you can remember

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the battery voltage was low 22 volts

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}even before we initiated the restart

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}sequence it seemed odd but we didn't

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}have time to think about it the Saab say

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}I'm gonna interview captain lowjack

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Salazar when I was interviewing captain

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Rosa he mentioned the battery capacity

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was just 22 volts when he tried to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}revive the engines l don't consider him

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}22 is within the limit but it's the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}lowest failure so it's considered to be

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}weak a fully charged battery in a 737

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}has 24 volts are you sure it's 22 not 24

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}22 volts I remember another 2 volts

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}might have made the difference in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}getting the engine started or it's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}getting the APU start

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for weeks after the crash

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}searchers pull what could be the last

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}piece of the investigative puzzle from

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the solo River the battery from flight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}41 one of its 20 cells shows signs of

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}damage from before the crash evidence

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}that seems consistent with the captain's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}observations we found the cell condition

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}was one of the most damaged and has

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}reduced the Petri capability was

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}significant but how significant was the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}damage was the battery too weak to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}restart a flamed out engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators staged a test to find out

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}let's start water and ice up to 18 grams

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}per cubic meter they replicate the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight conditions and follow the exact

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}procedure the pilots used trying to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}restart their engines

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}okay in this shared restart engine

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}procedure and these doctors to fight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}believers to cut off start neighbors to

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}idle sorry versa

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}28 29 30

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}okay first attempt failed battery to 20

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}volts key precipitation ready and let's

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}see what happens to the battery in a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}second attempt

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}alright so we'll start timing once again

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}and we're going try it again

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}engine stops wishes to fight switches

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the flight talk leave us - I thought

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it's Oliver's item 30 seconds

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}28 29 30 battery has dropped to 12 volts

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}making it practically useless and now

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}try to stop into you you had no chance

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the restart procedure completely drained

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}their faulty battery it was not capable

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to support the engine restart in in

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}emergency conditions finally

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}investigators understand all the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}contributing factors that knocked flight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}41 from the sky I think we just veer

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}little to the left of that green gap a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}shadow effect on the radar leads the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}crew to mistake the worst of the storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}for a clear path

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the storm hits them with hail so severe

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engines blame out efforts to relight

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the engines drain valuable power from a

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}damaged battery without power with their

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}plane dropping fast far from any Airport

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}it was only captain ro Zacks incredible

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}airmanship that prevented a total

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}disaster

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in their official report investigators

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}recommend better radar training for

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}flight crews to help them navigate

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}extreme weather they also call for new

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}procedures for flying in heavy rain and

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}hail with the cfm56 engine such as

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}increasing the throttle setting when

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}entering a storm

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}in recognition of their heroism captain

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Abdul Razak and first officer Harry

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}gonna wanna receive congratulations from

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the Indonesian president it's the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}biggest honor I will ever receive in my

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}life but I'm sorry beyond the public

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}recognition

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}the crew has received enduring gratitude

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}but I said the gunman data

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}he saved so many lives on board the

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}plane for that I salute captain Rose ACK

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}pick up a black la otter we felt the two

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}of them were chosen by God to bring us

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}to safety on the river they were our

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}heroes

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}Simonetta that I got it

{\a2}{\c&HFFFFFF&}{\fnTahoma}you
