Cessna L19E Birddog Fatal plane crash video released 25 years after it happened

Raw video.Colorado.This video is 6 minutes long but captures the events but shows the kind of eeriness surrounding the crash and what led to it.

Cessna serial number 24527 - FAA Reg. Number N4584A - January, 2009 Intended Flight Route: Granby, Colorado to (Jeffco County) Denver, Colorado. Lost: August 10th, 1984 More.. at approx. 13:00 hours Found: August 23rd, 1987, near Tabernash, Colorado

It’s a very tragic tale – unwittingly caught on film by the gentleman who died in the crash along with a friend riding in the back seat. It was first shown to me (along with many others) at an FIRC (Flight Instructor Renewal Clinic) over 20 years ago.........

A little dissapointing that live leak and Ard2zvark did not give us the altitude, density altitude, etc. I put the N-number in the NTSB- no joy.....put the n-number in Yahoo.....bingo.

Tough to watch....about 4 min in you think "ok, he's going to get boxed in some how"

http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_i ... 0670&key=1

The docket is stored on NTSB microfiche number 25894.
Accident occurred Friday, August 10, 1984 in TABERNASH, CO
Probable Cause Approval Date: 12/14/1992
Aircraft: CESSNA L-19E, registration: N4584A
Injuries: 2 Fatal.
THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED GRANDBY 8/10/84 AND FAILED TO ARRIVE AT ITS DESTINATION. ON 8/23/87, IT WAS FOUND ON THE SLOPE OF A HIGH TREE-COVERED RIDGE. VIDEO TAPE RECOVERED FROM THE WRECKAGE PROVIDED A VISUAL AND AUDIO RECORD OF THE FLIGHT FROM TAKEOFF TO IMPACT. COMPARING THE RECORDING TO A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP, THE FLIGHT WAS CLIMBING AND ITS ALTITUDE ABOVE THE GROUND WAS DECREASING WHEN IT CRASHED AT THE 10,200-FT LEVEL. DURING THE LAST FEW SECONDS OF THE TAPE, THE TERRAIN DOMINATED THE VIEW THROUGH THE COCKPIT WINDOW. THE PILOT MADE A 60-DEG BANK, AND THE STALL WARNING HORN COULD BE HEARD 3 TIMES DURING APRX 180 DEG OF TURN. THE AIRPLANE SUBSEQUENTLY STALLED, FLIPPED OVER, AND ENTERED THE TREES. THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS ABOUT 13,000 FT.


The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:

IN-FLIGHT PLANNING/DECISION..IMPROPER..PILOT IN COMMAND
AIRSPEED..NOT MAINTAINED..PILOT IN COMMAND



Contributing Factors

WEATHER CONDITION..HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE
TERRAIN CONDITION..MOUNTAINOUS/HILLY
Commercial Pilot, Vandelay Industries, Inc., Plant Nutrient Division.

I really feel sorry for you. I really do, flusteredboy0000z.

You must lead a real unhappy miserable life !!!

It's sad to see someone really rot away their life with so much useless internal anger.

I've met people like you and they suck the air out of other people's fun.
