“Looks like we’re going over some kind of population center, let’s see if we can go faster “
Plane - "PULL UP, PULL UP!"
Jamie - "Ow shut up"
😂
given the recent history, no1 can be talk into successfully landing a boeing plane🤣
There is a significant difference between landing a piper cub and a large passenger Jet. There have been several instances of people being talked down in small planes.
Yeah I was about to point that out. I feel like them researching the instances where this actually happened in smaller planes would have been useful.
Large passenger jets are different to fly than smaller planes, but passenger jets have autopilots and more electronic assistance helping stabilise the plane, so that might make the process of landing actually easier in some ways. Plus, a smaller plane is far more susceptible to turbulence and shearing forces, which might be an added problem all on its own.
Whilst it hasn't happened, nowadays all you really need to do is to be able to guide the person into keying in the auto-pilot into the correct auto-pilot (and subsequently the auto-landing) modes; the flying can all be done by the auto-pilot itself. (see "I'm not a pilot. Can I land a 737?" by Tom Scott and MentourPIlot)
It's definitely still a hypothetical but way more possible compared to the scenario in this episode; something pointed out by the Subject Matter Expert in the conclusion of this episode.
I'm kind of shocked that Grant didn't suggest to build a skydiving robot😂 ❤Grant
23:06 that's got to be the nicest tandem skydiving landing that I've ever seen.
Edit: kept watching the episode and Tory's landing was equally as nice. The tandem skydiver used for both jumps is one skilled guy.
"The salmon mousse". Great Monty Python reference.
The freefall catch is pretty cool.
Passenger; "So are we landing or what?"....
Pilot; "..........I don't .....................I don't know" 😀9:27
One of my favourite episodes out of S5
RIP Grant
I jumped out of the same airplane when I did a tandem skydive back in 2009, also with Sky Dance Sky Diving in Davis, CA.
24:26 Oooh! Bloody Hell that was close!!?!
The airplane situation happened in Florida months ago. The person did land the plane successfully with the tower help
It was a small plane, they said commercial airliner.
yea, havent someone landed commercial airliner too? i can remember one show on national geographic@@minttablett780
A small plane is way harder to control for unexperienced ones because it has more inertia - which can hit you from behind once you overdo input. But if gentle a huge plane behaves much better.
Remember; this episode aired a decade and a half ago.
nice
Would you please post the airing date or at least the date at which the episode was shot?
December 12th, 2007
10 seconds on google is all it takes.
@@TheGreatThicc Thanks, but since this is posted by the official channel, I'm sure they know how to get the dates.
I still say that the free fall catch up thing was kind of busted given that he only just caught them. To have caught them and acted out a scene like in the movie they’d have had to have jumped out of a spaceship!
probs to the cameraman going down with the speed guy
23:03 😂 I NEED A TOGGLE BOY !!! 😂 so damn silly.
Highly entertaining, but the dialogues...eek! 😂
😂
I hope you all won't ever see a diver hit the ground. Weather from failure of main and reserve nor hanging on a way too small canopy distrusting the rears... The moment a body hits the ground just to be kicked up 3 ft. is ver hard cover. RIP my dear friends. It was worth it. Blue sky.
Opning a chute while one is rcing headdown towards you...bad bad idea. As the Pax pac threw their deploy the other diver was just passing. Who in hell planned this? Guys, you could have been dead with that. It was closer ou may think it was. I was terrified seeing him pass!
Bugün 6 aralık çarşamba ve sevgilim myhtbusters izlemediğini söyledi inanamıyorum her like bi yazıklar olsun
33:0 sucks. The box position is correct, the flow hits the full flattened body surface and more resistance can be intended by wearing wide suits. Maybe to level with a very huge light person. The head down position is tested wrong because as it is called head down the flow does not hit the body surface flattened out with alligned arms and closed legs but the perpendicular surface of head, shoulders and angular projection of the body which is much smaller. Once you maintain a propper tracking position you even feel a bit lift which should be prevented in the name of science. You're welcome.
Someone who has no idea about flying a plane will never get it down safe. Pilots will never eat the same food.
Though, It has happened since the episode, at least a couple times. Weird.
They not only proved it is possible to talk someone safely down to the ground, but it's happened in real life. Maybe you should think before you post.
@@allanshpeley4284 Pretty sure that's what I said, Also mentioned it happen more than once....🙃
It can be fairly common in light aircraft with mixed result but this is mainly because they don't have common gauge and control surface locations for the atc controller to know
@@allanshpeley4284 Still hasn't happened with a commercial liner, and considering the myth is pretty old, most people definitely wouldn't have known how to fly/land a 707.
23:15 Grant: I'm alive!!!! Unfortunately, little did he know it wasn't for long
That depends on your definition of long.
He did loads in his amazing 50 years on planet earth, what have you done? horrible person leaving that comment!
@@gavbarker8689 which part of the comment implied that his achievements were unappreciated? The statement merely points out the unpredictability of mortality. Get a life.
That's a comment only served by people who hits below the belt.
Opening the mouth during freefall not wearing a closed helmet is ... well ... fun at first but pretty damn stupid 😅 It just looks silly and feels stupid. So I call it silly stupid 😂 btw that is why we use signs like "no more" before separation...
What is going on, I never saw a dude taking my toggle to lay my canopy down 😂 That is ridiculous 😂 I will claim for such service personel immediately!
