Скачать или смотреть THE GHOST PLANE: The Haunting Story of Helios Airways Flight 522

On August 14, 2005, the Mediterranean sky became the stage for one of the most terrifying mysteries in aviation history. Helios Airways Flight 522, a Boeing 737 carrying 121 people, went completely silent. When the Greek Air Force scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept the plane at 34,000 feet, the pilots witnessed a chilling sight: a "Ghost Plane" flying on autopilot, with passengers motionless in their seats and oxygen masks dangling from the ceiling.

This video provides a deep dive into the chain of human errors that led to this catastrophe. We go back to the night before the flight, where a routine maintenance check left a single pressurization switch in the "Manual" position instead of "Auto." We analyze how the flight crew missed this setting during three separate checklists, leading to a slow and insidious loss of cabin pressure as the plane climbed. You will hear about the hypoxia (oxygen starvation) that confused the pilots, causing them to misidentify a critical Cabin Altitude Warning as a simple ground configuration error.

We explore the harrowing final moments observed by the F-16 pilots: the empty captain's seat and the slumped First Officer. But the story doesn't end there. We reveal the heroic final act of Andreas Prodromou, a flight attendant and trainee pilot who used portable oxygen bottles to stay conscious. We follow his desperate journey through a cabin of unconscious people to reach the cockpit in a last-ditch effort to save the aircraft.

Finally, we look at the legacy of the "Ghost Flight" and how it changed aviation safety, warning systems, and pilot training forever. If you are fascinated by aviation mysteries, engineering failures, and high-stakes survival stories, this is the definitive account of the day 121 people went silent in the sky.
