Most of the videos out there show how not to do it, or what happens when CRM breaks down. There's plenty of videos with engine failure during takeoff or at V1, but these are also sort of unique as everything is very scripted and almost standard. It's when you get an engine failure in the cruise, or other completely random unexpected problems like hydraulics or generator problems that CRM is more likely to break down.


This one is pretty good actually, notice how the captain first asks the FO what he thinks is wrong before he shares his own opinion. Also, another key point is to ask for confirmation from the other pilot before moving any significant switch, such as a fuel lever. Obviously wouldn't want to get the wrong one.


This is a good example of ATC forming part of the "team" as well, they are a resource to use, but there can still be breakdowns in communication.
