CONSTELLATION PLANE CRASH (With Slow-Motions)

OF COURSE!!

Wrong! My aunt was on that flight. It made the papers back in 64'. Some of the passengers were really shaken up by the hard emergency landing.

this is tested crash ppl dont be so dumb

The pilot was talking on a cell phone!

they should have set up cameras on the inside facing the cockpit so we could see what it would be like on the inside :P

Scary to see the nose gear flip and impale the lower fuselage. Not where I would want to be sitting.

It's the same plane, shot with different cameras. The paint scheme is not meant to be pretty. Its to help the investigators accurately measure the the location of any damage. You can find a photo of what this looked like in TWA service if you use a search engine in image mode and the words TWA Starliner, 1649A, or Constellation.

First, don't feel too bad. This occurred back in September, 1964, when they were considered merely old, not yet classic. It was an FAA test crash. Place: Deer Valley, near Phoenix. The plane is an L-1649A Starliner--last of the Constellation series, reg. N7307C. It was bought by the FAA from TWA for a mere $38,000. Seven years earlier it was purchased new by TWA for approx. $2.5 million! Formerly a pilot,I flew a sistership in 1980,N8083H, which is now in Auburn, Maine, along with N7316C.

I have to agree ... shame to use a Constellation for a test like this. This can't be that old with all the slow motion cameras used. This should be prohibited! Why not use a old 727 from Mojave desert to try what ever they where testing on this nice old lady!!!!! I love planes ... they should be preserved ...

Oh, well sorry. There are alot of dumb people out there and I couldn't figure out whether you were serious jamesandrew2000.

Impressive video, but anyone else feel very sad that a graceful old lady like a Constellation should end it's life like this?
The different dust is most likely die packs put in different areas to simulate fuel vapour spread (notice it coming out of various areas of the wings...although the blue is too far out for fuel tanks in the wings) or possibly debris.
Still a damn shame...

Obviously its a test. I was joking. You are a dummy.

Ok. First, this is not a scheduled flight, so for any of you that are saying that you were on that flight, your wrong. As you can see on the runway, there are things that are supposed to collapse the landing gear. Also, you can see the mound of dirt at the end of the runway to absorb the impact. Clearly a intentional test. Plus, the Lockheed Constellation has been out of service for about 50 years.

You are a bore.

name one

Must be terrible.

I was on this flight. We were returning from spring break in Honolulu. I'm Sad because my best friend Karen disintegrated.

It's called "colored smoke". :-)

whats up with the red dust-like stuff flying in the first slow motion?

That test saved many lives

To bad on a nice classic Lockheed constellation, can't be many of em left that still fly's. But I'm sure that test served some sort of purpose...

its not a jet

i think im a retard for watching these videos and im going on a plane tommorow F**k i feel paranoid

Dude, for every invention, there must be a PREVENTION. How would you feel if a flawed prototype of this crashed in a LIVE FLIGHT and killed everyone on board?

It makes me so mad they crashed this jet on purpose. It could have been used to take college kids on spring break to Honolulu or Cancun. I'll be in college next year and I could have rode this very jet to my first college spring break in Cancun.
