Hello Patrons.

What we have here is a rather fascinating case that was caught on film. I started looking into this a while ago and then I stumbled across the footage, and then I found out more about the flight, so I just had to make this video. Let me know what you thought.

This is the Early Access version of the video, I might tweak a few things, maybe even head out and grab a bit of extra footage that I know will work in this video. The Patreon Outro still needs to be done ahead of its release on Saturday anyway so this will need re-rendering anyway.

Thanks so much Patrons!

This Plane Was About To Break (BKS Air Transport Flight C.6845) - 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. Consider joining here from £1 per month: https://www.patreon.com/DisasterBreakdown Twitter: https://twitter.com/Chloe_HowieCB The film you just bared witness to was captured on July 3rd, 1968. It was filmed by an amateur film maker by the name of Frank Mills. The site, London Heathrow Airport. This plane photographed here had crashed at one of the busiest airports in the entire world. The accident involved the ill-fated plane crashing into a terminal building and damaging three other planes in the process. The curious case of BKS Air Transport Flight C.6845 involves the breakdown in the relationship between the pilot and a key aspect of controllability when flying an aircraft. This is a plane crash that is not all that known about even the United Kingdom, despite the fact that it crashed into an airport building killing most of its occupants. So what went wrong here? Well to begin with lets establish the nature of this flight. As Flight C.6845 was what you could consider to be an unusual one given what was actually on board the plane, and some people, especially some in the United Kingdom may already be familiar with one name attached to this disaster. #aviation #london Sources: https://reports.aviation-safety.net/1968/19680703-0__G-AMAD.pdf https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19680703-0 https://web.archive.org/web/20121112183309/http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1969/1969%20-%202440.html https://www.skybrary.aero/articles/flaps https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/racing-advance-of-the-high-street-bookie-1200462.html https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/equine-air-travel-horses-winning-post-spt-intl/index.html#:~:text=Due%20to%20safety%20regulations%2C%20modern,on%20the%20level%20of%20ticket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytEVE4-bNWM&t=15s&ab_channel=ScottGrammer MEDIA ATTRIBUTIONS: https://twitter.com/Birdseed501/status/1504374578642104321 https://www.reddit.com/r/aircrashinvestigation/comments/dr0ssl/bea_trident_garpi_damaged_in_1968_by_an_airspeed/

Fascinating as always

When you mentioned the unusual cargo of this plane I was half-expecting the cause of the crash to be the horse boxes becoming unsecured in the final flight stages and shifting the centre of mass somehow. Eerie coincidence with the BEA flight too!
