    I am only partway through the video right now, but I love this series. He has hundreds of other videos about every conceivable air disaster you can think of. Highly recommended. Watching these actually makes me feel much safer about aviation. Many resulted in loss of life, but every single time, the entire industry learns from it. You will not die because a pilot makes the same mistake another pilot made earlier.

    I like Mentour's videos. But if you do, you may as well like Captain Joe's. In the past thy were both doing kinda instructions/informative videos about planes, control surfaces, how pilots handle communications or some emergy situations. It was great watching them cover basically the same thing and getting a bit more info here and a little bit more there.

    Captain Joe was flying Berlin airlines at the time and they went out of bussiness, he got to fly queen of the skies, the 747, for Cargolux and I haven't checked back for a long time but I suppose he still does.

    I don't know about Mentour but he started covering history (and sometimes actual) air disasters, which is great, but he stepped down from the real aviation stuff, which is shame. I think he doesn't fly big passenger aircraft anymore, but I may be mistaken and will happily learn otherwise if someone knows.

    They are both German, just wanted to add.

      Oh for sure, I also think Captain Joe and Admiral Cloudberg are a bit better from the technical perspective and I prefer that. Mentour's are likely more approachable for the average person. I haven't read/seen coverage on this flight from those or other sources and I liked that he focused on the group psychology aspect in this video.

      I'm a big fan of aviation safety culture and wish more industries were as rigorous, preemptive, and holistic in making processes more efficient and safe. It's amazing to me that we have such in-depth and transparent retrospectives on largely "uneventful" accidents (no injuries).
