I appreciate you highlightingthe fact that the 120.35 assigned Tower frequency is actually a Ramp frequency at MIA. Great production as always, been watching you for the past 5 years. Keep up the great work mate!

[@StarTheAvgeek]

@@FishingPlanetMobile64 I am very aware. I've seen other videos of the ATC audio for this, But no one else uses their own voice for breaking down these events. I find it helps keep the viewers engaged and expresses how much effort has been put into this video.

[@MazzieMay]

As usual, production is so clean and thorough! Thank for you for hard work ♡

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@JDH_MUSIC]

your graphics and animation are amazing. You should try some famous cases where there is ATC recording but plane ended up going down

[@michaelstidham2891]

Always insane to hear that plane burns 106,000 pounds of fuel in 5 hours.

[@stephanieparker1250]

Great video, as always! Hope to see more content soon. 🤗

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

More to come! The next video is in production and should be up in the next couple of weeks. 🙂

[@jsonclam]

Great production!! Nice visuals and explanation. Keep it up!!

[@GengarJ]

nice I heard about this but not the ATC

[@GrumpyFelo]

awesome recap as always

[@susanwahl6322]

Maybe the terrifying part to the people listening to it.

[@llamavert]

always love how you visualise these videos, just wondering if you will ever make another Brissy Riverfire ATC Visualed video for last year's or this years upcomings event? Cheers for the great video as always

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

I wouldn't rule it out, but it's not high on the priority list. The jets don't broadcast ADS-B data and the quality of captured Brissie ATC is not what it used to be. Unless someone has any contacts within the RAAF the 2015 video will still be the best visualisation of the event.

[@llamavert]

ah okay, cheers for the response @@AirTrafficVisualised

[@malahammer]

I missed the "Terrifying Mid-Air Drama". All calm and professional. One engine shut down after it blew.

[@Mutineer9]

Nothing special.

[@AySz88]

Because the people involved weren't busy sounding terrified on frequency doesn't make the situation any less a concern 🙄

[@PowerSpirit50]

​@@AySz88 Keeping a clear line of communication is more important than freaking out, after all.

[@stephanieparker1250]

A 747 converted for cargo hauling must be able to carry an insane amount of cargo! Looking forward to the final report on this incident, wondering what caused the hole!

[@jeffwilson5882]

This wasn't a converted freighter. It was built as a freighter. The max takeoff weight for the B747-7F is around 990,000 lbs. I work for the company and know what actually happened, but all I can say is that it was a maintenance issue

[@GA669]

Where have you been for four months?

[@idunnoanymore2870]

Everytime pilots give hours in fuel ATC asks for pounds and vice versa!

[@TheCOZ]

Typical. AAL pilot taking someone else's clearance.

[@FliesLikeABrick]

I'm not thrilled about the unnecessary clickbait title. You have good content and don't need to try and trick people into watching it

[@briancorrell]

No one asked

[@susanwahl6322]

I always give it a thumbs down just for the click bait.

[@evergreenmoth8924]

i dont understand how the title is clickbait in any way, there was an engine fire, the plane is a Boeing 747, they returned to Miami, while the pilots are trained to keep calm people on the ground where dramatic about the fire if you look up videos, and it happened mid-air/flight.

[@Crand0m]

Title was accurate and not click bait.

[@kale_xo]

Boeing seems to be more focused on DEI than they are on the safety of their planes here lately.
