Hello Patrons! Hope you are well today.

It has been a long hectic week on my end trying to get this video finished. I still need to make some tweaks to the video though, I need to add in the new Patrons in the outro for one thing, thanks for pledging if you're new here <3

I have only now just noticed there is a roughly 14 second black space in the video, so I'm in the process of fixing that as soon as possible and will swap the video in due time so if the video goes down for a moment that's why.

Thanks as always!

Chloe <3

The Petty Argument That Killed (British European Airways Flight 548) - DISASTER BREAKDOWN

If you found this video to be interesting, be sure to subscribe as there is a new video every Saturday. This video also went out to my Patrons on Patreon 48 hours before going out publicly.

With a population of 18,000 it is far from the most well-known place in the United Kingdom but on June 18th, 1972, this small town was thrusted into the national spotlight. The town of Staines became the scene of what was and still is to this day, the deadliest air disaster to occur on British soil. British European Airways Flight 548 crashed just minutes after take-off. It was supposed to be a short flight, one of less than an hour to Brussels, so what went wrong? Well for that we need to rewind the clock that day which brings us to Heathrow Airport? So how did things end up in disaster so quickly? It would turn out, there are many layers to this story. But before we get there, we need to have a quick talk about the plane involved.

Absolutely incredible storytelling on this one. You did such a great job piecing together a narrative, even without a cockpit voice recorder. I also love learning more about historical planes in commercial aviation.
