In 2004, two pilots flying an empty regional jet climbed to 41,000 feet, the plane’s ceiling. Their airline’s pilots had a name for going that high: the “410 club.”
Up there the air is about a quarter as thick as at sea level. The gap between stalling and flying too fast shrinks to almost nothing. Pilots call it the coffin corner.
The jet stalled and both engines flamed out. As the engines cooled, their cores seized, a failure called core lock. A restart needed 300 knots. They reached 236. About twenty minutes later they crashed two and a half miles short of the runway at Jefferson City, Missouri.
Based on Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701 (October 14, 2004, a CRJ-200). The aircraft and cockpit shown are generic illustrations, not the real plane. Instrument readings are simplified for clarity.

At 41,000 feet the gap between "too slow" and "too fast" can shrink to just a few knots. Would you have climbed? 👇
A Boing 747-400 ca fly up to 45100.
No tho it was done on a crj200 not a 767
I saw some a350 fly at 43k in fr24
Concorde regularly flew at 55,000 ft
Give me this 3D model of that plane
They def had that look in each other with accomplishment and despair ❤️🔥
Rest in peace to all the people who died in this plane crash fly high 🕊❤️
So they died in the name of science?
I can respect this
The engine defo did not "Clamp the core" of the engine 😂😂 the info on this video is about 40% right 60% wrong
Still made the 41000 club tho
After the flame out they had enough altitude so they could glide safely to an alternate airport but that would've gotten them in big trouble so they tried to make it to their destination airport. Unfortunately they didn't make it.
I Made That Plane I Made The Pilots I Made You 😊
Everything in this video is bs
So bullshit – the aircraft would simply stop climbing and then eventually it would stall.
Everything about this video is wrong
Did this man call the turbine “the core”?
My Qantas flight from JKT to SYD said 42k feet
Is this brawl reflex?
My uncle was on that flight
Deserved it
why tf are you showing a 777 model
I Thought That Was Malay Flight 124 Because The Plane Model Was A 777.
One of them pilots was my auntie! May she rest in peace
Yeah this is cap.
Any details? Other than a year?
Just yesterday i saw an airplane on flightradar24 flying at 12.500m. I don't know how many feet is that, but it's very high.
Bullshit
I just got on flight tracker and looked and the second plane i clicked on was a a350 airbus flying over the atlantic and the altitude was exactly 41,000 feet yeah i would be freaking out,,, says the maximum altitude for a 777 43,500 hopefully pilots.dont go that high
R E P E N T
Don’t some flights actually fly at 41000 sometimes
Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701
October 14, 2004
Both pilots killed
When did this happen or just AI slop?
Canada flight 143
me using my dogs 🐕 tail as the joy stick 😭😭😭😭😭 i was pulling it up 🐕☠️💀
