There might be a couple of things I need to tweak between now and then so if the video is offline at any point its because I'm reuploading it. Thanks!

Early Access - Inverted Plane Crash into the Pacific Ocean

Hello Patrons

This is the longest video on the channel yet! Coming in at just over 25 minutes in total length. This is the Early Access version, given its length I may make some minor adjustments before its public release on Saturday. I hope you like the video, its a bit different considering there is a full cvr recording for this incident that I had to pour over.

Thanks so much for your support as always!

New Channel Icon Idea

Hello Patrons,

I just want to get some of your thoughts on something. I have had the same Disaster Breakdown channel Icon since day one, one I made back in 2016 in five minutes. I've been thinking about updating it to something a bit more modern and sleek and this is what I came up with. I am certainly no graphics design expert but let me know what you think.

This week's video will be out tomorrow on Early Access as normal. Thanks as always!

Early Access - How This Plane Couldn't Leave The Runway

Hello Patrons.

This week's video is covering another incident which is rather unknown. I feel there was even less to work with here than with the Paninternational video a few weeks back. Nonetheless with the publicly available sources we can piece together the series of events which unfolded here. I have some very interesting videos in the works in the coming weeks and I can't wait to publish them!

Anyway as always, this video will be here for Patrons for 48 hours before going out...

Early Access - The Runway Was Not Clear

Hello Patrons, hope you are well.

I am also in the middle of moving right now! It's some pretty exciting stuff. Video production has not been affect as of yet but I will let you know as soon as anything comes up.

Thank you all so much.

Hello Patrons. I hope you are doing well this week!

This week's video is now here on early access for Patrons. As always the video will be available for two days before going out publicly on Saturday.

Anyway this video is one I have wanted to make for a long time. Thanks to your support I was able to track down the resources needed to make this, the Disaster Breakdown video I've wanted to ma...

Hello Patrons, its another Thursday which means a new weekly video.

This has been a requested video for a while as part of the "Disaster Averted" series of videos. I might actually put them into their own playlist too!
