I don't know if this has been posted before.  I just saw it.

Thanks, Gus. That's a good look at many different bad endings,with a little food for thought thrown in.

Thanks, I love watching as many accident analysis videos as well as reading accident reports as I can. (Subscribed to the AOPA Air Safety Institute channel on YouTube) I would rather learn from someone else's mistakes instead of making my own... Heaven knows I make enough of them on my own anyway...

How is briefing an IFR approach while flying a pilot error?

The number of engine failures is alarming.

Wonder how the "inop gear" occurred at the one at 9:25 into the video. It clearly is a fixed gear plane (see nose pants on the nose wheel).

Pretty sobering

As Clarence said the engine failures was a big percentage. Would be nice to know which ones were fuel exhaustion or preflight miss. 

Chris the strut link that holds the wheel facing forward and still move up and down failed but there is also a snap ring to hold the strut in the cylinder. Double failure is interesting. 

One more thing, the pilot error of flying in to objects was just crazy.  It looked like clear fields in the area and the pilots chose another landing spot.
