The Honest Pre-flight Safety Demonstration Video That Airlines Are Afraid to Show You
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2020
- We've all heard the pre-flight safety speech a million times. There's some stuff we should know about airline safety, but they're not telling us. I spoke to an active commercial pilot and did some research to provide some more interesting and relevant info you should be getting before you fly.
Just a little travel-related info-tainment for the summer. Enjoy.

Plane - Can’t wait to skip the safety video to watch movies
Home - Voluntarily click on a 7 min safety video
Yeah well the ones on planes are tailored for your average 80 year old or 5 year old to not be offended or put at fear
This video is the shit, the low down, it's like "hey dude I know you're an adult who can take a couple of unsettling concepts and still be alright on the other side of the video"
I prefer the down to earth stuff, rather than the rose-tinted "oh you'll be fine, you can't complain if you're already dead" stuff lol

@@saltservice4024 but this video's iant fir commercial use it's for Informing people on internet
Remember folks: Car crashes are so common we expect them. Plane crashes are so rare they're "Breaking News" every time.
That is probably the best way to put I’ve heard.
its like the old saying goes, "1 death is a tragedy, 1 million a statistic"
Yeah, people loosing their minds about things that almost never happen, but at the same time totally ignore every day dangers they're used to. Irrational priorities.
@@tardigrade8019 ah yes, Josef Stalin. He did make a few statistics in his time.
@@gregmccauley1687 seconds best statistic maker in the world only behind mao zedong, but he beat hitler again so haha commie win... i guess???
See, the reason this works is because it explains the why. It doesn't just tell you to do something. It informs you on what will happen if you don't.
Which is also a useful lesson for parents to learn from
Yeah, a funny thing is that's not how schools teach stuff lol
That's why we trust the experts
It might still lead some to just question your explanations and still not believe you no matter how iron tight your reasoning is
@@vestborobaptistchurch3161 those people were never going to believe you anyway
They should actually let you know in the safety leaflet that if we lose cabin air pressure, and then do a nose dive, that we are not actually falling to our death. That would be more helpful than showing us that your life vests have a fancy whistle attached.
* lose
I want one that only dogs can hear.
I don't know, man. Having a rape whistle on your life vest could save your life in the event that the plane crashes in a dark alley.
@@finbarrsaunders8688 thankyou for that correction it was very helpful as nobody would have known what on earth I had meant if I accidentally used two Os instead of one. So thanks for pointing that out, very good contribution 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@finbarrsaunders8688 I made my typo into *bold* letters for you, just to help point it out.
Imagine paying 2 million dollars for a video 60% of people ignore, and this chad doing the job so well people watch it from home.
They probably only ignore it after they've seen it forever. First time flyers watch everything.
I thought this was a really well done paridy
Well yeah, probably because they assume its PR flim-flam more 'Elf an Safely gone mad'.
Get a spiel like this and if you're bright you're not only going to rememeber it -
You're going to want to fly with a pilot like this again because you don't just figure he knows his job - Now you trust him!
@@saucylight to be totally honest... no I didn't. First and up until now the only time I flew was last year and I did not pay full attention to that video
They should make it more entertaining. The entertaining ones I watch at least once. But after that, when I've heard the damn thing 4 times in the last 24 hours, it's more annoying than informative.
It’s not flying that scares me. It’s suddenly not flying that scares me...
Underrated comment. LMAO
This should help; you were never flying in the first place. You were just falling with style.
"You can buy a man a plane ticket, and he will fly for hours.
You can kick him out of a plane, and he'll fly for the rest of his life"
It isn't the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.
@@monke-ky7yx LOL
"It's easy because you're not losing your sh*t right now". Crying 🤣
I'm practiced from the race to unbuckle and get to the toilet once the seatbelt sign goes off
Then you ask the question: why not redesign them for exactly that reason?
@@JeanLucCaptain People drown in cars because they cannot undo their seatbelts because the force of the crash broke the internal mechanics and it is stuck. Lever system doesn't have this problem and is therefor more reliable.
Watch your language
@@Leancusineishood Ha-ha, I'm simply quoting the video. smh
A message like this treats the passengers like grown-ups who can handle the truth, educating and empowering them, unlike those superficial, "don't distress them" messages we actually get. I learned so much
That's how you give attention to the passengers, I'd rather hear this safety induction than the regular safety information.
I agree. Actually useful stuff with some humour thrown in for good measure
can't expect every pilot to consistently say this every flight though.
So true, they should tell us always the truth and be realistic not talk like a robot 🤖 and give some false info that won't actually help much in danger, that's also how it will make people to actually listen and care about the safety instructions! 😖 I could finally understand it..
This would be much easier on mandatory videos on the little TVs on the airplanes.
Liz Moon soo, you cannot make a case for the current safety videos being false! Also, they’re literally made to be understood and are reeeaally simple to follow along - what this video did was telling you to visualize it. Do that the next time you board an aircraft.
Being in a crashing plane: Panik
Remembering you are way more likely to be killed by a lightning bolt or shark than a plane crash: Kalm
Looking out the window and seeing you're about to crash in the ocean during a storm: *Panik*
*remember you are more likely to be hit with a lightning bolt than crash:* *plane struck by lightning *
b man i think planes have things that defect the worst effects of lightning
@@cottontheeastercottontailr265 A plane is basically an isolated metal box you sit inside of, they don't need to do much to protect you. The biggest concern is burns at the entrance and exit points.

@@bman7346 Planes have been struck by lightning before, infact it happens much more commonly than you think, nothing happens in like (lemme count) pretty much ALL times it happened tho so dont worry about it
*Plane struck by shark
I have SEVERE flight anxiety and have to take valium pre--flight. This eased SO many of my worries/fears and honestly is comforting. Thank you for this psa!
I have had panic attacks (2 only) in the plane, in what I understand (even during the attack) are COMPLETELY SAFE SITUATIONS (turbulence, unpredicted change of seats). I knew most of this info before I started suffering from the flight related anxiety, but consciously knowing doesn't really stop me from being anxious. But Xanax does. YAAAAAAAY. I really make an effort to be a breezy chill passager whenever I can't take the medication but it's so hard tho.
Remember, being drugged up you are most likely to die because you're wasted. So no worries.
Comment from actual Boston pilot: “uh, so sorry about that rough landing everybody, it wasn’t the planes fault, it wasn’t the pilots fault, It was the asphalt……” you just had to be there I guess lol
Always trust your pilot. They and the flight crew are more trustworthy than any of the passengers. Even yourself
a's fault
“If you inflate your life jacket inside the aircraft in a water landing you WILL drown”
This makes me laugh every time.
@TheDrills NLV Yes.
TheDrills NLV
Kim is correct - you inflate it in the cabin or water.
Seriously though:think. If you are in the cabin and it’s filling with water, an inflated lifejacket will 100% prevent you diving down to get out of a submerged exit. They don’t brief on it for fun, even if nobody listens.
That's a ridiculous thing to say. The chance of death from premature lifejacket inflation is significantly increased while trying to escape from a flooded aircraft cabin, but it is not certain that one will die from that.
SMOKEU
So do you think saying - as they mostly do - “do not inflate the jacket until you have left the aircraft” is paid attention to? I’ve watched more safety videos than had hot dinners, and agree with the thrust of this video. Don’t get me started on the jokey ones that are the rage now.
Imagine sleeping and waking up to hear the pilot say “55% of you, will survive”
*goes back to sleep*
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@litebritegalaxy3217 *for good*
The plane only got two passengers and im one of them so I think your odds are pretty bad.
I fly in the hopes of being the 45% that don't.
This was really good. I was expecting some snarky video trash talking the airlines and telling people if there’s a crash they’re all screwed. But instead there was actually some really good info on here. Well done!
As Frankie Boyle said, "In the unlikely event of a loss a cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling and untangling them will annoy you before you die" 👀
I was on a flight where all of them dropped while we still on the ground, around the time they closed the doors iirc. they dropped and it was hilariously sad to watch the flight crew try to put them all back, they finally ended up duct taping one closed :D. knowing how "helpful" they are it makes a lot more sense why it was treated so nonchalantly.
The frustration of untangling them is the distraction you'll need to forget that you might be about to die!
@@NogrimStoneson Is this story true? If the masks are dropped, all of them must be inspected, replaced as needed, and repacked. Where I'm from they have to maintain below a certain amount of failure to drop rates in three consecutive deployments before the system is serviceable. If any of the passengers pulled the masks down the valves for the breathing oxygen would open or they would activate the chemical oxygen generators which would have to be replaced or refilled and tested to be deemed serviceable.
I was on a flight where the attendant going through the presentation said, “ ….masks will drop from the ceiling, once you stop screaming, put the mask on your face first and then help the person next to you.” Everyone laughed.
I was waiting for him to mention the oxygen masks only help for 15min.
Thing is, if your pilot sounds like this, he’s probably gonna do his job perfectly to a T.
He DID say he's practiced, and that tells me he took it seriously.
i will NOT leave the plane until i get to talk to him. i don't care if i have to follow him inside, i want to thank him for that badass message.
I just want him to shout "nose dive!" before he does it. I want the chance to trust his skills and know he's conscious 😏
I’d see he would roll a mean joint
That EQ applied to his voice really lends a lot of credibility.
The fact your on this plane means the most dangerous part of your trip is over, the drive to the airport. Thats actually the truth.
Billy Baque I get incredibly nervous about being late and missing the flight - once I am on board I can relax.
@@ianmoseley9910 Random story, I used to drive a cab and one morning I was taking a guy to the airport. Out of nowhere a big rig clips a deer crossing the road and it flew right in front of me, I was gonna hit it. I braced myself and said hold on sir to my passenger and....a little bump, I must have missed it. Pulling up to the departure terminal which was packed with people, everybody just shut up (shat up?) and stared at my cab. I had a bad feeling, getting out of the cab the drivers side was fine as I walked around the cab to open my passengers door I realized the whole passenger side was misted in the poor deer's vital fluid. It looked like I had mowed down a bunch of Nuns. I started to panic and was like no, i haven't done anything wrong, act natural. I got my passengers luggage out of the trunk, opened his door and told him how much the fair was, He looked at me and said, "Your just going to act like nothing is wrong?" Now looking at the horror show that was my passenger side. "Well that's the plan until i can get to a car wash." He paid and I left the airport quickly finding a car wash almost immediately and cleansing that poor animals mortal coil from my car. I hope you enjoyed my random and now I realize somewhat gruesome story.
Billy Baque Oh dear!
@@ianmoseley9910 You did misspell it, but I'll get you that like anyway. ;-)
The grammar in this is horrible haha
Also, if you lose cabin pressure at cruising altitude, expect a lot of condensation to happen in the fuselage, with visibility dropping to nada almost instantly. Not that you need to see farther than where your breathing mask is dangling...
So like how everything normally looks when I'm not wearing my glasses?
@@RandomGuy0400 yup, and same for me.
in 2021 most people will die because " Herp derp Masks are oppression derp derp"
@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA Unfortunately, they would only pass out... but at least they'd stop annoying people for a while.
@@mariosebastiani3214 : thanks for reminding me on condensation in a pressure drop incident. This really should be mentioned in the safety advises...
From a manufacturer's perspective, we don't care about the interior as much as the mechanics of the aircraft. Interiors has a lot of little fixes to make it look good or make it work correctly like adding a spot of glue to a carpet that won't stay down. Working parts are a different story. If there is a scratch measuring .003 inches in depth it must be fixed with engineering sign off. That's about what your fingernail can catch on. That's a damage tolerance limit for even tiny brackets that hold wires. Critical equipment often has even tighter tolerances such as bearing surfaces mating within .0005 inches that are hand installed or certain bolts require being torqued in a pattern with a record of what torque each bolt was tightened to, including retorque. Smudge mark on a sidewall in the cabin? Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No joke, we don't care about your interiors beyond it looking nice. It won't bring down the plane.
Mentioning the fact plane is going to make a nosediving right after the oxygen masks appear would actually be pretty useful because I imagine that would be fucking terrifying
Masks: Drop
You(but later in a few seconds):Drop
I can hear some joker: "woohoo! Do it again!"
Yeah fuck the oxygen. I rather pass out and wake up later
@@jennycothern6375 hell yeah! who wouldn't want a real rollercoaster like that?😁😍
Yeah. You're already nervous, and then you think the plane is crashing. But no, that's intentional.
Seriously why don't they just play this? I learned WAY more than anything on a usual flight.
Because stupid people will think they’ve just picked a bad airline and they will die. Real flight videos make everything seem calm whereas this guy tells you what actually happens. They don’t wanna lose customers by speaking about that. But that’s just my take. Idk either lol
@@user-rf4vc7mt4d would be iconic that after the bankruptcies of the virus leads to a new "no BS" airline that took this approach... would be an interesting experiment
that's because you didn't pay attention to the safety videos (well provided that the airlines you fly is actually a good one). Also these information should be readily available anywhere including your airlines' website, you don't need to be spoonfed everything.
Why bother when most times accidents don't happen and when they do most people don't act correctly anyways.
@@herlinahalim2891 They could just make a clean version of this and play it instead then.
The real reason is because it would scare people, or make people lose faith in the industry.
I’m a recreational pilot. And I think that this is probably the best video I’ve ever heard. I’ve also travelled many times commercially. And enjoy flying. I think that all airlines domestic and international should adopt this type of video.
This guy knows his stuff. You’d be lucky to have him as your pilot.
All Pilots are required to know this stuff bruh
I’m only a student pilot and we learn the same stuff such as pitching the plane toward the ground for the never exceed speed and what to do in different emergency situations. The FAA has everyone in the sky learn stuff like this to ensure that everyone is being safe no matter if you’re a student, private, instrument, or commercial pilot.
Coming here: “This is going to be hilarious.”
Video ends: “Wow. This was informative. I appreciate the brutal honesty.”
Right?! I wish we could shed all the 'soft language' we have to comb through in society.
Especially with dealing with customer service or technical support. I swear, you can be on the phone with them for a half-hour and only about 4 minutes of it is actually productive.
@@xaenon Having done technical support, I can tell you I always wished the same thing. But just giving the bare bones information sadly upsets a lot of customers. All the social niceties were really annoying to have to get through, but without it, too many customers feel like they were treated rudely. Really sucks. As a customer I can't stand all the extra talk, either. "Just tell me what to click on, Mister, I don't need you to ask me about my day or tell me how glad you are that I chose to be a customer!"
@@janejames6430 I've actually asked CS reps to drop the canned fluff and speak to me like they're NOT at work. The won't. One admitted to me they literally are not allowed to.
I just cannot imagine who would want to be mollycoddled like that. A caller is literally treated like an infant.
@@xaenon So painful. A lot of tech support staff are natural introverts, the social crap isn't fun for a lot of them, either.
I mean I honestly wish that is the safety video we got every time that I have it tagged in my head the actual one I could probably recite it to you.
I would rather hear this on a flight than the cartoon BS. This tells me the pilot knows what he is doing.
Popup Target And we would also be passengers who knew a little bit more of what we were supposed to do the best way possible.
does he actually know what he's doing, or just spouting a bunch of stats being like science, believe me u'd be fine?
ca-ke Another pilot in the comments confirms that the video is correct
Generally, airline pilots are incredibly well trained for emergencies due to the fact that the plane practically flies itself for most of the trajectory.
Popup Target yeah me too!
The mental preparation techniques involving counting the seats between yourself and the exit and practicing opening and closing your seatbelt were incredibly helpful.
I actually feel more calm about flying when i'm given the facts straight with no lies.
Technically speaking, 100% of accidents happen in the last minute of a flight.
edit: guys please stop replying my inbox is dying
No cause they obviously mean the last 8 minutes of the predetermined flight.
No they dont
IExist do you know what a joke is
@@iamaidanreed7910 Whoosh!
Right over your head.
I guess that depends on what you consider an accident. Not every mishap will crash the plane or terminate the flight. Case in point - an improperly latched overhead compartment causing baggage to land on passengers would be an accident and would most likely happen at the beginning of the flight.
*After flight audio*
Pilot: Lets do a crash test to see how many people were listening this time
LMFAO😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Not enough likes.
LMAO
If a pilot was like a teacher. You’ve had the lecture, now get read for the test
Ironically, this is the most helpful air safety video I’ve ever watched
I was on a very turbulent flight once and the pilot said at the start of the descent: "We've been advised not to land due to the strong winds, but I'm gonna give it a try anyway". We weren't sure if he was joking until he actually tried to land while we were literally blown and shifted in every direction like a leaf in a hurricane. Everyone around me was either praying or throwing up. In the end, he pulled up and away something like 20 metres off the ground, then took us to a nearby airport 40 minutes away. I'm still having nightmares about it 10 years later and needless to say, I'm not flying that airline ever again.
Thats not airline fault. Its a pretty common situation, if crosswinds doesnt exceed 35 knots is pilots decision if we land or not. As he didnt see posible to make a safe landing he decide to go around. Is something that we are trained for, and he made the correct decision of going to the alternate airport and dont giving it a second try.
Honestly that just sounds like he was trying his best not to inconvenience you by going to another airport far away. He certainly wouldn't risk the lives of everyone on board (including his own) for no reason so it probably wasn't as dangerous as it seemed to you.
I am sorry you were traumatized by this. However, it wasn't dangerous in the least. This is the problem with air travel: people who know nothing about flying, how an aircraft works, or even the basic physics of flight board airplanes everyday and then get anxious about things that would not provoke anxiety... if only they were less ignorant about the machine onto which they just seated themselves.
There’s no way a pilot sounds this clear on the intercom.
You’d be surprised actually and this could be a recording of him talking into it but not it coming out of said intercom
The video has subtitles so it kind of helps you to understand what it is saying
@@sonajlirrev9957 they meant on the actual plane
I find the clarity believable. What isn't believable is the lack of a drawn out "Uhhh....." every three sentences.
That's not a pilot, its kylo ren lmao
I'm a former flight attendant, and no one ever told me about the nose dive. Not even in TRAINING!
Russell Taylor Johnson I hope ur okay
Did they at least tell you to immediately go to your seat in that case? If so, you're safe enough, though knowing the dive is coming could avoid _you_ panicking, too.
Maybe it's lie. You know, same lie as "russians and etruscans were same nation". Because sounds funny.
Interesting .... we were told in ours and what to do in the event of a decompression.
Maybe the captain is a former fighter pilot. They nose-dive for living.
As absolutely HILARIOUS as this video is, these are all amazing facts and tips that I will actually remember because I have a fear of flying. Thank you!
In eight years of watching youtube, probably the best air travel safety video I've seen. Loved the pilot's presentation and attitude. Seems he has had enough with dumb arrogant people.
Actual words right now I've heard on a UK flight "Remember to take your face mask off before putting on the oxygen mask"
They say that on Japanese Airlines too
@@IreneWY probably all airlines nowadays
Yup even Air Canada
Iberia too
HAHA! Isn't it hilarious?! LOL!
What most people are scared of: crashing and dying
The real danger:
*The drink cart*
**Speedy Last Drink**
The chance of dying from being hit by a drinks cart is low, but never zero.
I always thought the drinks cart was a huge danger. Those things look HEAVY AF, no way those little breaks they put on will hold it in anything other than level flight.
That cart 220 pounds Damn !!!
It was right under our noses
I've bungee jumped and sky dived a lot... bring it on weeeeee!
Best safety video ever, I genuinely feel more control over possible emergency situations, thank you.
"Off the coast of Ethiopia" is the one thing that brings this down a notch. Ethiopia is landlocked. The flight the narrator is referring to is Ethiopian Airlines flight 961 that crashed into the sea off the cost of Grand Comore, the main island of Comoros between Tanzania and Madagascar. The flight had been hijacked and ran out of fuel. There were 50 survivors, and most of the dead had tried to inflate their vests inside the pane, trapping them.
Thé excessive swearing just shows that this kid really doesn’t care about informing people, he just wants to sound so smart he’s getting impatient.
@@scotch1993 I'm confused by what you mean as excessive swearing? He only swears twice, four times including hell and crap, and he is doing a pretty good job informing people.
Personally I wasn’t thinking about geography but the fact that it’s not a good thing to inflate your vest inside the plane.
The emergency dive in the event of cabin pressure loss should be genuinely put into safety videos...
Right?! The worse thing in these situations is the panic! I can’t imagine trying to focus and just hearing people losing their shit and just screaming
I think if they added that in to the video some people would think "fuck that" and want to get off
RunPJs I expect most nervous flyers are pretty much there with the safety video anyway. Putting in the video at least gives them prior warning for if it does happen (on the rare chance that is). Knowing what’s going on in such a dramatic move would be much better than having no idea why your plane is going into an emergency dive
@@connorhill1247 Exactly. Even if you don't go into details, they should at least MENTION that the plane will make a steep dive to reach more breathable air. Don't have to give specifics or explain just how dramatic a maneuver it really is, just something so that passengers don't feel a crazy nose-dive and immediately interpret it as the plane being out of control.
Yes! I knew about the passing out but the emergency dive is new. People would freak out thinking that they are crashing. Imagine a passenger with a weak heart.
I think this would actually help people’s anxiety when flying
I'm not even planning a flight and it helped with mine lol. Done a few short flights but the thought of going over the ocean freaks me out haha.
Agree. Calms me down a lot more than the actual safety video.
It sure helped mine.
I agree!!
Right lol I'm still not flying 😂
I wish every pilot would do that announcement. This was the most honest presentation I have heard ever. Love this!
Wow dude, I almost never comment on UA-cam, in fact this this my second because you soooooo deserve it. This is a REALLY great informative video. One of the best I ever came across. Thank you.
Aye, though not that we will be flying anytime soon thanks to the current pandemic. Tis information to consider for the future.
if this guy didn't swear, I think airlines would be just fine showing this.

Oh God I can only imagine what that feels like
Flying is only dangerous when plane meets ground.
Plez no.
good things flights I usually take have cruising altitude of 40k, that means less than 10 seconds of reaction time before passing out
How'd it happen?
this is gold. this is what youtube should be. i travel twice a year but i’m scared of the takeoff as hell. use to love it, but just can’t get those clips i’ve seen from plane crashes outta my head. but it’s just a psychological thing, and these videos make me feel safer. thank you!
I love the audio compression on what is probably a megaphone. It makes your voice sound intense.
Ah, correction: The passengers putting on the life vests early, or inside the plane, is NOT the problem. The problem is that they Inflated the damn things inside the fuselage! Don't do that! Get out, then inflate!

Sterlingbird Niner Nice one, really got me!
I’ve been a flight attendant for 31 years.
I love this video. It is blatantly and hilariously true, whilst also respecting us.
90 seconds is what we are trained to get you out if there’s an emergency. We’re also CPR and AED qualified. Keep your arms and legs out of the aisle whilst we drag that 300 pound cart at an incline. Wear your seatbelt. Turbulence is a very serious thing. You’re more likely to be injured from turbulence than anything else.
Most important: don’t grunt or feel inconvenienced when we block off the lavatories when the pilots need them.
They are the most important people on the plane!
Also pilots don't have time to brief passengers in an emergency. They're way too busy diagnosing the problem, descending to a safe altitude, notifying ATC and the airline of their situation, and troubleshooting to be able to talk with the passengers.
My dad was flying in the 80s and he theorized they hit a goodly patch of CAT and the aircraft dropped a good amount without any warning. He said he never had his seatbelt on during cruise before then, but did that day. His friend bashed his head on the ceiling, but all that happened to him was catching two glasses of soda out of the air without spilling more than a few drops.
He keeps it on for the whole flight to this day. Wear your seatbelts, kids.
The pilots don't need them. They should only be blocked off for a good reason.
First, thankyou. Second, I'm glad you have the safest seats. I've always worried that they weren't as safe as passenger seats, and this is reassuring. I'm happy to know that when I fly, the safest seats are occupied by the people who are best trained to save lives in an emergency. :)
Potter's Police, Security and Railway videos did... did you just say the pilots don’t need to use the restroom? They’re humans too yknow. They have bodily functions like the rest of us and most Passenger Jets don’t have lavatories in the cockpit
I thought I was afraid of flying until I sat shotgun in a Cesna flying through a storm. Pretty cool, actually.
I realized, it's not the flying I'm afraid of it's what's going on the cockpit and not knowing until...
This vid doesn't scare me. It actually curbs my anxiety as I now know more about it. Thanks for the honesty. It is appreciated! :)
That would scare the living shyte out of me
I’m going to save this video and watch it every time I need to get on a plane. Thank you.
As a pilot, I can confirm this is exceedingly accurate.

Yea but the USA is so sue happy we can’t do that. I just saw a girls text between a welders son and a lady. The kid didn’t work for the welder/dad he was just trying to help him find a helper. The kid told the lady he didn’t think she would be a good fit or enjoy working with his dad, long story short she decided that the kids actions (who doesn’t even legally work for his father) were enough to sue the man out of his home, business, and tools. It’s funny because after the kid said that she wouldn’t like it the lady says “because I’m a female?!” And the kid goes I’m sorry if you’d still like an interview I can set it up.. guess who didn’t want that interview and just went straight for a lawyer smfh
Agreed, they need to just tell us these things because honestly it's more useful and his bluntness even made me laugh a couple times

To an extent, yeah.
@@ivoryas1696 No, not really to an extent. People need to be honest. Even if it hurts someone's feelings. Lets say you have a friend. That friend hasn't showered in what seems to be a decade. You aren't just going to let that slide, are you? If they can't afford showers, that's a different deal, but lets say your friend lives in a pretty wealthy family in a 2 story house including a basement, and attic. You will more than likely have to tell them someday or another that he smells like the devil's testicle, and needs to take a shower. If they can't afford showers, maybe have them take a shower at your place. Now, they may get offended, but shouldn't be anything that would ruin a friendship. If that ruins your friendship, they weren't a good friend either way. That was only one example, but there are many that could be used for this. The only "to an extent" scenario I can think of would be that you are a prisoner of war, and the enemy is asking questions that must not be answered truthfully, so then you would come up with lies to trick the enemy. In that situation, you're fucked. No matter what, they'll probably kill you either way. Sometimes I feel like I write too much, but I think I should write more other times.
If everyone had honesty, it would fix just about everything.
I just got this recommended in an airplane... I wish they would say this and save more lives, than just check legal boxes
Same, I think the problem is not just the legal boxes but also the PC culture. I would really like to have the pilot tell me just how fucked up it is, instead of covering up in boring PC correct language. I believe a lot more people paid attention because of the words used to explain the raw gravity of the situation, but as always we have to remain Politically Correct above everything, even if your life depends on it.
@CHRISTIAN NAVAGH u can get wifi in a plane but it sucks
are you serious?? that's just comedy, it would save nobody
@@ggurks No, that is all correct information. This is getting passed around the industry and everyone I talked to all agree this is the briefing we should be giving.
Airlines are all about liability not safety. There is absolutely no sane world in which lap children should be allowed. Every baby that is being held is dead if we have even a minor incident. The only reason they are allowed is because in the 70s when they wrote the rules there wasn't enough approved car seats.
How did your flight go?
Thankyou loved this video, been around the world, always ignored the safety talk but watched this twice. I really appreciate this🙏🏽
This is hilarious and informative. Beautiful combination. Why? People actually listen and remember. Great job!
As someone with a fear of flying I actually found this more reassuring then I thought I would. Lot of power in honesty.
I was always a nervous flyer with little tolerance for turbulence. Then on a flight descending into ATL in a small jet we hit awful turbulence with a sudden hard drop. Worst turbulence I ever experienced. Everything not secured hit the ceiling (fortunately only minor injuries). It scared the hell out of me, but the plane clearly took it in its stride. Didn’t seem to care at all. And ever since I’ve not worried about the wings falling off and turbulence is much easier to cope with.
same- this really helped me not flinch every time i hear the word vacation
I've never been in a plane and I'm bloody terrified but this really helps
@@2ooo5 my best friend is getting married in 2021 in a different country and I already have anxiety about the flight. I don't think people appreciate how difficult it can be for us nervous flyers lol
Yasssssss
I'm comfortable with this kind of message.
Its funny that so many people would be, except the marketing people that would have a heart attack over something as informative as this.
Piesy001 you would be surprised by how many idiots there are in the world
I got scared, but... I always get scared. I know the statistics and how much safer it is than the car, but since I experienced some pretty scary turbulences couple of years ago, I can't help it.
Because it gives you a feeling that flying is dangerous and will require you to fight for your life. If you look up statistics on plane crashes you will find out that the chances of you actually being in one are basically zero.
@@gulfermendi6367 By definition, half the world's population is below avg intelligence.
Spot on!
Thanks for filling in some major gaps.
This should be the safety announcement they give in every flight it was very informative and an interesting listen. Thanks for the epic video and useful information bro
As a guy who has a massive fear of flying this shit has put me to ease more than you'd know, I may actually get back on a plane now!
@to themoon ya I’ve gotten off planes also, issue is Xanax actually makes my anxiety worse.
Makes sense - while trying to get that huge thing up in the air and while trying to land it - it's like taking a bath in the bathtub - Everything is a-okay while sitting in the tub - it's getting in and out that's the problem, not strokes while in the bathtub.
@@simonfrederiksen104 your so right, I have done absailing before, anyone that's done it will tell you, that the hardest part is the very start while starting the lean over the ledge, trusting the ropes and safety protocols.
Look up plane tolerance tests here on YT. There's one that shows the point at which the wings flex before snapping. Planes have insane tolerances.
What really helps? Buying a large pack of Webster's hard caramels and always having one in your mouth for the entire duration of the flight. Also some country musci (if you hate it) works wonders. If not, go for Bruno Mars (if you like it).
I can tell this guy’s not a real pilot because he didn’t say “uhhh” after every word
and didn't say "over and out"
@@blitzkrieg5517 which pilot says that lol
@@ABCDEFG-cj7mr The ones in old 80's movies like Airplane! It must be true.
@@Darion350 nah, I don't think any pilot says that. I think the movies did it just for the effects, but its pretty cool, ngl!
and he swore
A solid production, thanks very much for the honesty
i'm flying for the first time next week and this was actually insanely helpful.
100% of accidents happen within the last 8 minutes of the flight. In fact all accidents happen right at the exact end of the flight.
Thats similar ideas to driving & arriving & accident awareness in a road vehicle
Not precisely a happy ending
"Give a man a fire, and he is warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he is warm for the rest of his life."
or at the beginning of flights 😊
Eh, you could have an accident and still be “flying” (falling) for a bit. Falling is still considered flight, right? 😉
As a flight attendant this is the safety demo I wish people heard and saw
🧢
Amazing!
As a fellow FA I agree!
Same for me... I wish but in Italy you cannot talk like that. Hypocrisy
I have huge respect for you cabin crew, pilots, co pilots, ground team, desk staff. You do an incredible job and deserve better pay and conditions. I always listen to the safety message. I also know that the cabic crew are trained like army, on the emergency exit of 100s of souls, off a burning plane. Huge respect. God bless you precious lady.

I actually feel better. Thank you. 🙏🏻
This information actually makes me more comfortable about flying. Sugarcoating real hazards is a hazard and could likely lead to death ☠️
Statistically speaking, arent 100% of crashes within the last couple minutes of flight?
some are not in flight , some are on the ground
*"crashes"* yes. He said "accidents". They are what causes the crashes. Over 70% of all fatal plane crashes happen because of something before the flight. Over 25% because of damage added to the plane during maintenance.
There’s a few situations-midair collisions, bombs on board, inflight fires-involving fatalities even before people come into contact with the ground. Of course, what’s left of the plane still crashes, even if someone manages to survive what brought the plane down in the first place.
No a majority have been within the first few mins look at the recent Boeing crashes
@@freyafoxmusic which were also the last few minutes of the flight. That's the joke...
Since my chances of survival would be the same, I'm open to talking about these chocolates.
Underrated comment of the year goes to....
^ fr
Fly on Swiss Air, they already give out chocolates
Well, no airline would give it to you cause then they would have to spend more. Probably. I'm not really sure how it would work
But you can’t open them unless you have a water landing
This was clever, subtle, and absolutely believable.
Way better than I expected when I hit the play button.
SO well done.
And... subscribed. (If u like it, support it, people.)
Watching this while waiting for my flight. Awesome 😃
Ya know, as a person with extreme anxiety, I expected to leave with an even further fear of flying. Instead I left with anticipation for my next flight
I’m exactly the same
ua-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/v-deo.html
same, i'm honestly so surprised. i wish more of the stuff that makes people anxious was explained this way
SAME
same i’m not scared at all now
Drunken ass pirates in the 1800s: "woah this loose cannon is dangerous, we should stop it rolling around and killing people"
Modern era flights: "haha drink trolley go whoooosh"
lmao thx
Best comment on UA-cam. EVER!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
When people read this shit, do they actually laugh? Like does a laugh actually come out their mouth?
@@Dylan_1263 I actually laughed a bit. I'll admit, I was surprised though
When he said "look where the nearest exit is", I actually looked.
lol I did the same thing.....
This is the best video I've ever watched about safety in air travel. I wish I could share this on Facebook, but they would block it...... what a shame !
Then get off Facebook. When a company does things that I don’t like I stop being their customer.
I will still wear the vest. It's free, and comes with a whistle. Yay.
Just don't inflate it until you're OUT of the plane. Esp. ahead of me. (I'd deflate you in a great big hurry.)
Michael Shapiro 😂👏👏
@Happy McJoyJoy : Yes, the joys of universal disarmament of the sheep. Don't worry, I won't be blocked by a blockhead. "You bet your life," comes to mind. I wish you a safe & Joyful day. 😊👍
Happy McJoyJoy à plastic knife will do the trick ;)
Samantha Peters yeah but Sammy that yellow is sooooooooooo last week
This is good. Don't tell me not to worry, tell me WHEN to worry. Most of us don't know this stuff and not telling it only makes me more anxious.
Well done. I've lovely flying since I was a small child...but haven't stepped foot into a commercial airport in about 19 years.
Thank you for sharing! Awesome 👏
Fun fact: ALL plane crashes occur within the last 8 minute of the flight
Yes, because the crash ends the flight
@@ishandey6061 yep that was the joke. The video said that crashes and emergency landings happen within the first 3 mins and last 8 mins of the flight (I think that's what it said I'm going by memory) but yeah, the landing ends the flight XD
Unless u took off 4mins ago which means the flight was'nt statistically 8mins 😂😂😂
@@markgalbraith9316 good call
@@ishandey6061 noooo......the crash is PART of the flight.....its in the paperwork
Well, we should have an automatic message while the fast descent for pressurisation saying "We are descending for breathable air, there is no need to worry, this is a procedure protocol, we are NOT in danger" or something like that
Your adrenaline is going to be so high that you won't understand anything.
Some aircrafts are equipped with exactly this. It’s called a PRAM. Pre-recorded announcement. But in cases of rapid or explosive decompression, your brain only has seconds to decipher information normally before hypoxia sets in, you lose cognitive function and fine motor skills, and pass out. That’s why it’s imperative that you put on your oxygen mask as quickly and correctly as possible, BEFORE helping others (or you’re essentially useless).
Hanging with my Gnomes Would be useless. In case of depressurization at a high altitude you have around 15 seconds to but on your mask before you pass out due to there being no oxygen... It’s easier to drop the mask down with no message because people will just put them on instead of waiting for a message.
@@boass Exactly this. In the case that some people aren't panicking, they will end up waiting and listening to the announcement instead of actually putting on their masks.
@@boassIs the 15 seconds a fact, or your own guess? I am wondering because I can hold my breath for 30 seconds to a minute, which is no oxygen at all, and still stay conscious.
The absolute best pre-flight demo on earth. The reason I'm not watching the live pre-flight demo on my flight is because I'm watching this video!
But better that Moody's famous announcement on BA9.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress."
Oxygen masks fall from ceiling
Americans: "You ain't gonna make me wear a mask!"
1w72st lol, good one :)))
Wait till they find out how much science went into the plane.
Thats mask isn't a political statement.
1w72st Nonsense.
Americans : i am not putting that mask on because i woke up in a free country!
its too hard to BREATHE with that mask on
Serious comment, I’d actually respect the airlines for playing this instead of the fake placating videos they run now. It’s refreshing.
The problem is the video they normally play is designed so they are not liable for a few things. Pretty sure the captain got fired or a warning for that speech.
You can't be honest with people nowadays. It may offend them.
This was awesome.
I'm not afraid of flying, but definitely anxious.
And this would totally ease me into a sense of safety. Especially the 95% survival and 55% in a SERIOUS crash lol.
Its just scary cause the only crashes you hear about are the ones that have a high fatality count
Yes!, exactly! said.. 👏👏👏
Most crashes either everyone dies or everyone survives or nearly so. So those stats arent that reassuring, it just says that most "crashes" are really small incidents not serious ones. Of the serious ones, the stats are still quite skewed as they over classify non serious ones as serious. There are occasional ones where somewhere between 30 and 70% survive but I think it's quite rare. But these real horrifying scenarios are exceedingly rare.
@@gregorymorse8423 hmm. Fair enough. But that pre-flight message was still super funny and tension relieving
@@BG......... true it was good. But if "serious" means 1 or more died and 10000 serious crashes had 5000 with 10% dying and 5000 with 100% dying, you get that 55%. But I mean it's still effectively an all or nothing affair.
Even thou it's supposed to scare you it's oddly satisfying and soothing
Being in the Navy, this is how the military explains things, more or less. Blunt and to the point. It's smarter to get this info sooner than later, and not rely soley on firemen/emergency services to save our skins.
But, but! What about all the snowflakes in their safe spaces who never heard a word that wasn't "soft" enough? How shall they handle "truth"??
@@dirkbecker2961 Those are the ones that will end up dying in a crash because they're too unprepared for situations like this.
@@NurseNick420 You are right, that's called natural selection, because they are not fit for life in so many ways.
@@dirkbecker2961 They're like little bugs that deserve to be squished under my bare soles.
@Iron Monster there is literally not one (1) person in the world that will do that lmao.
"I've practiced" why was that so comforting to hear?
Because this is part of their training, lol.
That must've been the fun part for them. Will give me the need for a cardiologist as my seat mate lol. I only do kiddie coasters. No Kraken for me.
Because you know you're in good hands, even if the plane does crash.
And that we're prepared for every case.
@Miles Doyle???????
😬😨😰
This should legit be the briefing. Best story ever. 😂
I feel lowkey kinda excited that I knew most of the safety tips and know the air crashes he's referencing. My childhood was basically just me watching Air Crash Investigation on Nat Geo. :'''')
I used to watch them all and sadly that’s what contributed to my fear of flying
The dislikes are from people who were either struck by lightening or bit by a shark
No, it is all starving sharks.
Wouldn’t they all be dead though?
or are cock ( pit ) blocked!
Stop🤫🤭 Its 1am and I must keep quiet.😋
I'm starting a movement to get you 10,000 thumbs up. Great comment!
It’s funny how I feel a lot less more concerned about the idea of crashing when I hear all this information. The lack of information was what concerned me
So... are you more or less concerned? "A lot less more" is hurting my brain ;-)
@@ralphrombauts3725 They also said "The lack of information was what concerned me." That addition to their comment suggests they are less concerned.
I once flew as a passenger on a biplane designed in the 20s and built in the 50s. We were over a highway and trucks were passing us below.
That biplane felt safer than driving on the highway below where some idiot can swerve in front of you any moment.
With the old plane and a skilled pilot, its large wings and small weight meant it could glide to a field nearby, while its wood and fabric construction meant very little kinetic energy. No glass canopy to break and no door to jam.
Seriously, that flimsy ass relic was the safest vehicle i've ever been on.
@@moonman239 I know right. I've been trying to comprehend this post for 5 minutes. It's contradictions, contradicting. 😂😂😂
