This is a normal post Welp, if the Aussies have inherited anything from us
it's definitely the gallows humour.

This is a normal post which is odd
given that most of them escaped the gallows before ending up there

This is a normal post It's one of the few videos I can think of
where the commentary absolutely makes the video, rather than distracting from it.

This is a normal post The professionalism of these guys (ATC etc) is awesome:
777 crash at Heathrow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJNVVlBPi8M. Cool as cucumbers. Fortunately no-one was seriously hurt.

This is a normal post I cringe every time I hear that audio
Firstly there's something about hearing the word 'Mayday' over the radio which always sends a shiver up the spine, but also because while the ATC controller was the very model of presence of mind under extreme stress, the BA crew completely fluffed it.

This is a normal post Hardly.
Crash landing caused by uncommanded thrust reduction - root cause found to be ice formation in the fuel/oil heat exchanger restricting the fuel flow.

CFIT covers accidents where the plane is airworthy, but unintentionally flown into the ground. Probably the most famous example being the Mount Erebus crash.

This is a normal post What was the "95... 95..." bit?
Someone on Youtube asked that too. Did the pilot just get his call-sign wrong?
 (I helped save b3ta! JamTallons, Tue 17 Jul 2012, 22:27, Reply)
This is a normal post That was arguably a flaw in BA's training procedures
In the simulators at that point BA always used the callsign Speedbird 95. Not sure why, maybe it didn't conflict with any of their actual callsigns. Whatever the reason, it meant that whenever the pilots trained for emergency situations, they were always using the same callsign.

Unfortunately, this meant that when the crew reverted to their learned procedures, they also unwittingly reverted to the callsign they were using in the sim. BA revised their training procedures as soon as this came to light.

The full AAIB report is worth a read:
