The pilots don’t realise it, but they have strayed outside of the protected area prescribed in their charts. All around them, mountains are lurking in the cloud. Will they realise their mistake before its too late? Or will they careen headlong into a mountainside, just moments from landing? This is the story of Air China flight 129. ------ Final Report: https://www.icao.int/sites/default/files/safety/airnavigation/AIG/Documents/Safety-Recommendations-to-ICAO/Final-Reports/02000710_final_report.pdf All music licensed through Epidemic Sound and Musicbed MB01OLCKJZIKWOT

So many people on lunch break lol.
I’m letting this video marinate until I am in the perfect setting with no distractions
Don't forget the heroic actions of survivor Seol Ik-Soo (설익수). He led 20 people away from the burning wreck. Also, he saved a majority of the tour group he brought to Beijing with. The morning of the fatal flight, he made a mistake that he thought would get him fired. You see, initially, Mr. Soo had made sure that his tour group had first class seats on the flight home to Busan. However, upon arrival at Capital Airport, Seol realized that he had left his passport at the hotel he and the group were staying at. They had to go back to the hotel for him to retrieve his passport. By the time they returned, the first class seats were already taken since Seol didn't claim them in time. They were then forced to sit in economy and that turned out to be their salvation...
Something I love about GreenDot is you’ve expanded the team, editing and visuals have progressed but the core structure and script which was perfect hasn’t changed ✅such an easy watch
"to this day, flight 129 remains the only fatal crash of an Air China plane" - this is only true because Air China was renamed as such in 1988. Before, it was known as the state-run CAAC, which got the ignominious nickname "China Air Always Crashes" among Expats. Air China is extremely reliable and safe today but the wikipedia list of Aviation accidents and incidents in China is long for the 1980s, 90s and 00s.
Perfectly timed notification for lunch break
Perfect timing for a morning cup of coffee while screaming at my phone “Go around!!!!!!!”
Yes!!! Am I the only one that does a happy dance when we get a new Green Dot video? 💃 I can’t wait to watch!!! Thank you for the great videos! They never disappoint!
0:30 This flight was over before it started. The pilots actually need to be in the cockpit flying the plane
21:07 bro had one job
this would have been the perfect time to add the last 2-3min of just the plane flying without much commentary at the end of the video to show how fast shit happened

Watching from Aus. Gotta say, i love watching your videos in the background while im playing something. Because of this channel, I've been able to connect better with my brother who loves planes.
I had you down as 20 years older. Man, you've done incredibly well to produce such high quality analyses, graphics, narration and structure.
I get up at lunch time so this is perfect
Your format and the focus of your videos are unmatched. You prove that you don’t have to show your face or make it about yourself to be compelling. Brilliant.
So the approach from the easy side has an ILS, but the difficult approach from the other side doesn't?! Some accidents are just waiting to happen.
Thanks! I will give what I can. One of the best aviation channels anywhere.
In bed w/ a cold, thank you Green Dot! This is healing me fr
waiting for my bread to toast, and BOOM new Green Dot Aviation video perfect start to a day
