  The fact that everyone on this flight came so close to death but didnt is so much and the fact the captain ans pilots did everything to save everyone on the plane including themselves is amazing.  I love these episodes where people survive.

  "He got us into it but he got us out of it"  that has never been truer in the aviation industry

  It takes investigators sometimes months or years to figure out why a crash occurs, but the pilots only have seconds, maybe minutes to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

  this is probably the most insane story of a flight that did not crash.

  I can't recall ever seeing a plane damaged THAT critically on all parts of it and the pilots still producing a safe landing with no casualties. Bravo to these pilots

  Speaking as an airline pilot, I can’t believe they chose not to declare an emergency after falling 30k ft. Pick the closest field and land.

  When I first heard about this incident, I was and still am amazed that the pilots were able to recover from this, and make it safely to an airport with zero fatalities. Simply incredible!

  I’d like more episodes where EVERYONE SURVIVES.

  How the tail and elevators stayed on that thing is remarkable. A testament to that great plane.

  YOU ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE OCEAN, YOU REGAINED CONTROL ONLY BY THE SKIN OF YOUR TEETH, AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE OFFERED AN EMERGENCY LANDING, YOU'RE LIKE "nah fam the problem went away, I can get to my airport"

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW2gaodsfkY&amp;t=690">11:30</a> for those wondering, 5G is the what a fighter jet might experience during tight evasive maneuvers. The fact that a plane as large as a 747 experienced that and didn&apos;t get ripped apart is a testament to how tough that plane is.

  The engineering of the 747 is truly remarkable. It&apos;s a sad to see it disappearing from the skies
