Early Access - The Horror Down Below | Mexicana 940

Hello Patrons. Finally, we are here with the next video. Apologies for keeping you, I know some of you have been waiting patiently for it.

I'd like to thank you all for the amazing feedback on the first third of the video, which I have already shared for Patrons. There have been some changes and tweaks made to that. Turns out the video is a little shorter than I originally anticipated at 40 minutes this time.

I plan to release this on Monday publicly, though maybe we can look to...

Patreon Preview - First 18 minutes of the Mexicana Video.

Hello Patrons.

Sorry to keep you waiting on the next video. We are now well into the editing phase having now wrapped up my on camera parts (which is mainly involved in the second half of this video). When all is said and done I'm expecting this video to come in at around 45 minutes which is actually a really nice length for a video like this.

In the meantime, the first 18 minutes of the video is more or less done. So I have decided to realease that to you as a super early early a...

Early Access - BOAC Flight 712

Hello Patrons
The time has finally come for a new video. After two months of writing, producing, editing and weeks of nasty coughs and hay fever, we are finally on the other side with the next video... and it's a pretty big one too!

If you caught the 15-minute preview a few weeks back, there are a number of changes to that in the opening chapters. Small rewrites and do-overs and a bunch of editing changes. Lots of small things really.

Of course, your early thoughts are so v...

Preview - First Fifteen Minutes of the BOAC 712 Video

Hello Patrons.

I Wanted to share part of the next video with you early.

Frustrating thing happened really. I recently came back from Denmark after writing the whole script and fell ill almost straight away wrecking my voice. So I had managed to record a portion of it before my voice went. This past week in the meantime, I decided to work on what we had thus far amounting to the first fifteen minutes of the video. Mainly the "history and lore" section of the video.

To be clea...

Hello Patrons.

I am so thrilled to bring you Disaster Breakdown 171 (That's how many videos we're up to now omg!) This time covering the astounding case of Flight 6316.

I'd like to thank you all for your patience during the time it took to make this. It's been a hard one to make.

Please hit me with all of your comments on this ...

Update on the next video - ALM Flight 980

Hello Patrons!!

Dropping by to give you an update on the next video and when it is coming. So the next video is all about the fascinating and gripping story of ALM Flight 980 and we're heading to the Caribbean for this one! It's a story with many twists, turns and lots and lots of maps. I did not anticipate how long this one was going to wind up being. I was initially expecting around 40 minutes but in actuality, this one is an hour! A little over that actually.

(Knowing what the ...

Early Access: The Fokker Enigma ❄️ Dangerous Plane or Misunderstood

Hello Patrons

I am so thrilled to say that the full Fokker video is here!!!

So yeah, final video at around one hour, fifty minutes. I really hope you enjoy it. If you caught the First half that I posted here for Patrons two weeks ago, you may be interested to know that a ton of tweaks have been made to that original version. I went back to reword, re-record and reshoot some parts. Lots of minor changes and edits, I focussed a lot on the opening segment so that it flows better, mov...

First Hour of the Fokker video.

Hello Patrons.

Exciting News! The end is finally in sight for this video project.

Progress with the Fokker video has been immense. And we now have a working title. "The Fokker Enigma - Dangerous Plane or Misunderstood" - If you have title suggestions of your own, feel free to hit me with them!

I have been hard at work editing this episode and I have now officially reached over halfway through the editing process. Today I even went back and did some reshoots. Some of which ar...

Chloe Commentary - Braniff 352 Episode

Hello Patrons!

I hope you are all well.

I would like to provide a quick update with how the next episode is progressing. It is a very large video about the Fokker 28/Fokker 100 ice related accidents. I am currently at the stage of recording all of the "on screen" parts. Unfortunately the video is still quite a bit away yet. I am struggling a little bit with it as it is a huge video, and will probably be the longest video I have ever produced. I do very much look forward to when I ...

EARLY ACCESS - Air Inter Flight 148

The Title is still... Work in progress. Hit me with your best clickbait title!

Hi Patrons! The next episode is now available on Early Access. This is only a short one. I've had a lot going on in the background and needed a simpler one to work on. I am, however, making arrangements for my next feature-length video about the Fokker 28 Icing incidents.

I will share more info on that soon. In the meantime, this video will be up for patrons for at least two days ad free before its ev...

Early Access - That Time a Plane Crashed into a Tornado

Hello Patrons!

I am thrilled to finally bring you the next episode of Disaster Breakdown. This time looking at the unique case of NLM Cityhopper 431. I travelled out to Rotterdam and Moerdijk to see the crash site and took lots of footage shown in the video.

To be honest. I am a little frustrated with myself as this took quite a long time to produce and its only 30 minutes in length total. Regardless I hope you enjoy this episode and please hit me with you feedback. It is always m...

Early Access - MH17 - How it Happened.

Hello Patrons.

I finally present to you the Early Access Version to the MH17 video.

So, I have spent the last week or so putting together the middle third of the video. "The onscreen" portion . I am not going to lie, I feel weirdly nervous about this one (I feel nervous about every upload, but moreso on this one). Maybe that's because it includes a breakdown of the political situation in Ukraine at the time so I'm sure the comments section will be... tense?

I would absolutel...

The First 10 Minutes of the Malaysia 17 Video

Hello Patrons.

Thought I would drop a 10 minute preview for the next episode.

This is very much an "Early Build" sort of speak. There are things that I have flagged to change. Some wording and stuff so this will change in the final version.

Progress on this one has been strange. I have a whole on camera segment still to record. I can't do that just yet as I am waiting for the outfit to arrive and I also am going to be away for a couple days next week.

In the meantime I...

Patreon Bonus Video: The Toronto Trip

Hey Everyone!

Surpise! I have another video for you. Not a Disaster Breakdown Episode though, just a bonus video from my recent Trip to Toronto. Now That the Air Canada video is now I found time to quickly put this together.

I was incredibly lucky and honored to fly in KLMs Business Class for the flight out. One of the benefits of being a YouTuber is massive flexibility so when I saw a cheap Business Class Seat I was like "Yes, Please!"

In this video I just kinda show you th...

Early Access - Air Canada Flight 621

Hello Patrons!!!

Finally it is here! The next episode. The Air Canada 621 Video. I am still trying to work out a title for it.

This is super early access for the video. There are some things that need doing on the video. Finishing the reference numbers, Patreon Outro, Sponsor needs to review the ad at the end and there's definatly a few minor tweaks here and there but content wise, the video is pretty much done. So I figured I would drop for you here anyway today :)

I have b...

I am Going to Canada...

... to eat all of the poutine.

Okay so for real, on May 3rd I will be travelling to Toronto. It will be my first ever time in Canada actually! I'm flying out to learn more about the Disaster of Air Canada Flight 621. (The subject of the next episode). I will be visiting the site of the accident, gathering footage for the video and learning more about the stories of those who perished.

I wanted take the opportunity to let you all in on the progress on this one as it is going to be ...

Early Access - All Generators Out - Can The Survive (Monarch Airlines Flight 390)

Hello Patrons!

Lovely to see you again. I am happy to drop the early access link to the next episode of Disaster Breakdown. This is a shorter one, the video was pretty much done late last week but I really wanted to go over and check everything. (Honestly I have done so man viewings of this these past few days its crazy) So please let me know your thoughts on this one. I do like going out of my way to try and learn more about obscure incidents like this.

Incredibly, we actually ha...

Early Access - MAX(imum) Decline - Total Collapse of the Boeing 737 Max

Hello Patrons!

It is finally here! The full version of the new video. Totalling nearly 1 hour 40 mins! 😮

I even surprised myself, the Alaska 1282 segment has turned out to be really strong. Of course, your thoughts are always much appreciated. Would y'all be cool with me dropping this Wednesday evening?

Though I am thrilled to have finally completed it, I am also happy to now put this video behind me.


Enjoy the video :)

First Half of the 737 Max Video

Hello Patrons. I am thrilled to give you a preview of the next video. (Finally some content)

Covering the 737 Max saga, this video is quite the journey. It'd also a different type of video to what I usually make. I would therefore love your feedback on this first half.

Yeah this is only the first half. In all this will be around 90 minutes. In this preview I only give you a breakdown of the Lion Air crash. There are still segments for the Ethiopian and Alaska Airlines incidents ...

Early Access - The Politics of Flight - Spantax Flight 995

Hello Patrons.

I am happy to share with you, the Early Access Version of the Spantax 995 Episode. This video has been hard to make. Recovering from surgery has left me more drained than I thought. It's all good now though, I am feeling much better. This is a shorter video than others, coming in at around half an hour... That used to be when my videos were long.

Still, lots in this and I tried to make this as concise as I could. I even managed to track down an audio recording from ...

Update from Chloe - Post Surgery

Hello Patrons!

I want to drop by and fill you all in on how things have progressed since the release of the last video. As you know I had surgery in the past two weeks. The actual date of it was January 15th where I had my face uh... opened, lets just say.

Anyway the surgery was a complete success and I am now recovering nicely. I had to spend two weeks abroad so doctors could observe my progress. In the meantime I worked on the next episode, covering Spantax Flight 995. I managed...

Early Access - The Real Horror of Helios Flight 522

Hello Patrons!

I am very happy to bring you the new episode. Episode 161, in fact. The full remake of the Helios 522 video.

The video will be up for patrons for at least 48 hours, and I will try and release this when I get a moment when I'm away!

Tomorrow, I begin my journey over to Spain. On January 15th, I get my facial feminization surgery that I have waited so long fo...

Preview - First 25 Minutes of the Reworked Helios 522 Video

Hello Patrons. Dropping by to give a bit of an update with where things stand at the moment.

I am currently hard at work to finish editing the next video. A total re-work to replace the very old Helios Airways Flight 522 video currently on the channel that I put out back in 2017 (it sucks). I am on a bit of a time crunch with this as (as you may know by now) I will be flying out to get surgery done on my face, literally next week. I would really like to have the video finished before I ...

Early Access - Cruel False Hope

Hello Patrons!

it's here! Finally, the new video is finally here! Attached is the early access version of the New York Mid Air collision video. This video has been, to put it bluntly, difficult to make on a number of fronts. Not only is this the biggest episode to date but it required some travel, talking about a very hard hitting moment (That I actually cried at when I had had to read out the script) and on top of that I have been battling a nasty ear infection this past week. So needl...

Patreon Preview - Opening of the 1960 New York Mid Air Collision Video

Hello Patrons!

Just dropping by to fill you in with a bit of a production update on Episode 160. The 1960 New York Mid-air collision. I arrived back from my trip to New York this morning. I am very jetlagged so I am looking forward to my bed tonight. However, before I left I had pieced together the workings of a cinematic opening for this one, like in the Air India 182 video. Whilst I was in New York I shot tons and tons of B-roll, some of which has made its way into this opening cinema...

Early Access - The Consequences of Those Who Didn't Care

Hello Patrons.

I am thrilled to bring you the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 video, Episode 159!!!

I decided to implement a few new things in this video. Firstly a new type of intro where I actually give a piece to camera... (sort of). We've also got some different maps and things. let me know what you think, I'd love your feedback. I have one thing I need to tweak with this video so I'll do that tomorrow. So I will be swapping out the video with the final version real quick as soo...

Early Access - The Heartbreaking Nightmare of Saudia Flight 163

Hello Patrons

I am thrilled to bring you Episode 158 of Disaster Breakdown. I took the extra time with this one. I completed the first draft edit two days ago but layed off sharing it straight away to make adjustments, amendments and a few re-writes. So this is effectively in release mode!

I will review the video again tomorrow to see if I'm happy with it, if so then this will be the final version of the video.  I did have some rendering problems today, I have literally been ...

The First Five Minutes of the Saudia Video

Hello Patrons.

I want to share with you the first five minutes of the next video. Saudia 163, one of the most requested videos I've ever had. Progress on this has been great over the past week or so. I am expecting to release before the end of the month. In the meantime I noticed during recording of the reconstruction footage that this video just... looks kinda nice.

I pulled a late one last night to edit the first five minutes just to see what it looks like with the soundtrack I ...

Early Access - Fatal Cold Weather Cause This Plane Crash

Hello Patrons

I am thrilled (after hours of failed video rendering) to bring you the next episode of Disaster Breakdown. Its another big one! I was worried I wouldn't get this out to you today because of the issues I had with my video editor crashing but we made it!

This video has lots to it (even a weather segment, back again by popular demand). Of course as always the video will be up for patrons for two days ahead of its official release which will come this Sunday Evening. Let...
