Sichuan Airlines broken window explanation
Sichuan Airlines broken window - Mentour explains
Mentour Pilot
Published on May 17, 2018
In this video I will give you my view and a brief synopsis on the Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633. The flight had a complete cockpit window blow-out on the 15/5/2018 which led to an emergency descend and landing in Chengdu, China.
The flight was originally planned to fly to the Tibet capital Lhasa but diverted because of the incident. No fatalities has been recorded because of a fantastic job by the onboard crew, ATC and passengers.
