  That plane crashed less than 75 yards from my front door. It still haunts me till this day. The sound of impact, the smell as it burned...

  I am a retired 737 Captain for a major airline. I knew Captain Bishop. If it wasn’t for him, the NTSB would have never been able to figure out the cause of those accidents. His account of what happened helped.

  My grandfather was killed on this flight. I remember the recording of my grandmother sobbing and asking my mother to call. Really a surreal day and experience.

  I always make it a point to thank the pilots as I exit an aircraft. They have such an enormous responsibility.

  This happened on my 21st birthday. It was in Widefield which is a suburb of Colorado Springs. About a week later I rode to the crash site on my motorcycle to pay my respects because one of my coaches from my high school was on the plane. It was very close to apartments and houses. That plane shattered into literally millions of pieces. <br>The whole area still reeked of jet fuel and there were still fragments of the plane all over the ground. I’ll never forget that smell. You can’t imagine the violence of a plane crash until you see it for yourself. RIP.

  The last pilot still thinking to save lives in the midst of chaos, and his co-pilot searching for a spot to crash just like that, what incredible people. So glad they lived so the previous accidents can be solved. RIP to the victims.

  My dad died in a plane crash in 1984. He was piloting a small piper craft. It came straight down without a sound in a farmer&apos;s field. They still don&apos;t know what happened. I can relate so much to this video.<br>Thank you for an excellent video, and RIP to all the deceased from these flights.

  I always flew United, when I lived in the SF Bay Area, to my hometown of Denver, to visit my Dad, &amp; friends there. &nbsp;When my Dad suffered a heart attack &amp; was in ICU, I had to drive from my home in Mtn. View, to San Jose Airport to catch the last flight to Denver, leaving at 1150 PM, PST. &nbsp;United waited for me, for 17 minutes, as I raced to get there , park, &amp; get a ride to the tarmac. &nbsp;I&apos;ll never forget the kindness of the crew, &amp; passengers, willing to wait for me. &nbsp;That was in July of 1992, a world so far different from today. --------MJL, 76 y/o

  Captain Bishop (third pilot) is a legend for how he managed that situation and still thought about innocent bystanders. No words man, very few people on earth are capable of this empathy facing certain death
