Hello Patrons

It's been another busy week on my end. I will be moving soon and I am hard at work trying to prepare an additional video for that week when I move. It hasn't helped that I've been sick this week, which is why during the Patreon outro of this video I sound a bit stuffy.

Anyway, I hope you are all well. As always, the video will be up for two days before it drops on Saturday!

Thanks.

What was one of the deadliest air disasters to have ever occurred at that time. Flying through the air isn’t always a smooth journey. All airline passengers at some point or another have experienced turbulence, it’s very common. Turbulence could occur anytime and be bumpy, kind of like potholes in the sky. Plane’s though are extremely tough. For example, the materials used to make our modern passenger planes have made it so even the bumpiest of skies won’t necessarily bring a plane down. But it wasn’t always like that. As passengers today, it may be easy to forget that we now have over 100 years of aviation experience to draw from. Plenty of lessons have been learnt about aviation safety in that time, many of them to do with the sky itself, this was one of those lessons. As turbulence is the topic of today’s video, let’s look at the accident of BOAC Flight 911.

Hi Chloe, I started watching your videos when you started doing train disasters (as I am interested in trains). However, quickly I decided to become a Patron and have been working my way through your back catalogue. I know very little about planes, so a lot is fairly new to me. I had no idea turbulence could be that violent, I guess it makes sense - I mean wind can destroy houses made of brick - but in my head I saw it as choppy waves of air, I never really appreciated how powerful turbulence could be. Food for thought. Thanks for another interesting video.

I just finished watching your latest plane crash video. Question: Did the investigators find any stress fractures in the accident plane's structure? I was a bit surprised to see turbulence could cause a plane to crash. Great video and feel better soon.

Hey thanks :) When I looked into it, it appeared that some people pointed to a maintenance defect in the tailfin however to my knowledge this damage was coincidental and wasn't related to the damage caused by the turbulence.
