Two new plane crash and aircraft safety videos

The AirSafe.com site Plane-Crash-Videos.net has two new postings this past week. The first is about a September 2009 crash of an Ilyushin 76 during an air show in Teheran, Iran. All seven crew members were killed after the aircraft broke up in flight and crashed.

The newest event was not a crash, but came very, very close to being a disaster for both the crew on the aircraft and several bystanders on the ground. Apparently, the pilot of an Argentinian Air Force trainer flew the aircraft directly at a group of people on the ground, getting down to about three feet (one meter) off the ground. There were two videos, one from the aircraft, which included data from the head up display, and a second video taken from the ground. The still picture below, taken from one of the videos, shows just close this aircraft came to the crashing.



Submit a video
Do you know of a video that should be added to Plane-Crash-Videos.net? AirSafe.com is always open to ideas. The best kinds of videos to send have most of the following characteristics:
  • Available on a video sharing site like YouTube, or available online as a MP4, M4V, MOV, or WMV file

  • Deals with a single event

  • Is associated with some kind of formal accident or incident report

  • Deals with a plane crash, some other serious accident or incident, or a situation with the potential to be a crash

  • Involves any kind of flying activity, including aircraft, helicopters, ultralights, skydiving, or space flight

  • Has some kind of educational value to the public


For examples of what kind of videos we like, look at some of the postings at Plane-Crash-Videos.net. Not all of the videos involved crashes, and in the case of private aircraft accident in Palo Alto, CA, did not have a video associated with it. However, it did have two very dramatic audio recordings of the actual crash.

16 Killed in Latest Iranian Plane Crash


24 July 2009; Aria Air Ilyushin 62M, Flight 1525; Mashhad, Iran: The aircraft was on a scheduled domestic flight from Tehran, Iran to Mashhad, Iran. After landing, there was a tire burst and the aircraft skidded on the runaway, hitting an airport fence and an electricity pylon.

The normal landing speed for an Ilyushin 62 would have been between 145 and 165 mph, but this accident aircraft reportedly landed at a speed of 197 mph. The airplane ran off the runway and collided with a wall located about a kilometer from the runway.

The front section of the aircraft was completely destroyed in the crash, and there were 16 fatalities among the 153 passengers and 13 crew members.

This is the first fatal crash for Aria Air, and the 12th fatal passenger crash for the Ilyushin 62 since it began passenger service in the 1960s. This crash comes less than ten days after the last fatal plane crash in Iran. All 168 passengers and crew on that Caspian Airlines flight were killed.
