I was on a plane once where the landing gear just disappeared shortly after takeoff. Disaster was averted when another set appeared out of nowhere just before landing, but you can imagine how frightened I was.
😂😂🤣🤣
lol
😂😂🙌🙌🙌
oh dear, oh dear.
You should write storys. This got me hooked more then most novels i read xd
Worth mentioning that rolling the emergency vehicles in less severe circumstances is also a way of keeping the first responders in practice. They drive heavy vehicles very fast and need to coordinate with the tower to make sure they’re going to the correct runway without causing a collision with other aircraft on the field. It’s way better for them to roll out a few times per week for minor stuff then get caught with equipment problems or poor reaction time when something serious happens.
I agree
Rolling them out for even minor keeps things from going pear shaped if minor turns to major.
Better to have and not need then need and not have.
To be honest that is how I would announce it as a pilot to avoid exactly what happened here. Just crack a joke that they sit around all the time doing noting and that he is a considerate pilot who wants them to stay in training if something serious would ever happen.
Or some kind of similar joke. I can definitely see how anxious people could misunderstand the whole situation
When I arrived in Warsaw once, the emergency vehicles came rolling out despite absolutely nothing being awry. They just wanted to practice. Was pretty cool.
@@Retrosicotte They do that at my local airport, especially at night when it's less busy. I just had to explain to my wife last week that there wasn't an emergency, but they're doing training just in case so they're ready if and when there actually is an emergency
It's a shame that nowadays any alarmist can upload a video of him crying because of nothing and influence and terrify masses! And it's great to have Kelsey who can explain everything and advise those scaremongers to stay in their basements. Thanks, Kelsey!
That's what Covid was, but it wasn't one person, it was an entire media empire doing it.
@@dn9981 No, no it's not. In context it absolutely is not alarming. Millions of people die every month.
YEAH,that clown needs to stick to some-thing he good at,,,and it involves pulling,,,
i think this guy was intentionally overacting and clickbaiting for views.
just objectively speaking right? he said the plane ran out of fuel. that's objectively DID NOT happen. he was lying and crying for likes and views.
@@learnthesystem6622 In my country, we consider him as a "Tsismoso" Just making intrigues.
I was on a flight out of JFK where the pilot made a similar announcement to the effect that we had a warning light on; they had taken appropriate steps to resolve the situation, but the light stayed on and safety procedures required us to return to JFK. Closer to our landing, he announced that the safety vehicles would be there. He said he didn't think they would be needed, but as a precaution... Very shortly before landing, he said that as soon as the door was open, we were to follow a specified flight attendant off the plane immediately without claiming any of our belongs and follow the person to an area where a tent was set up for us. We were to wait there for HIM (the captain) regardless of what anyone else told us to do, and there would be arrangements made to get our belongings to us and arrange our new flights. Everything worked just as he said it would. HE met us at the tent/canopy thing and said that the airline wanted him to take the flight up again after a brief fix, but he was not comfortable taking it up until it had been fully inspected; he was sorry to inconvenience us, but he felt safety was more important than a flight delay. I don't know what the airline did in regard to him.....be we spent the night at a hotel and flew home the next morning. There was never any obvious panic, and I think it helped that we were given the information in pieces as each became appropriate.
It's always the pilots discretion if a ship is airworthy, it's his duty and obligation to make sure the flight is safe.
Kelsey is happy being a cargo pilot. The advantage: you don't have to communicate with the load.
You don't have to, but also, you can! And the load doesn't object, nor do they report you to anyone of authority! It's like confession, but cooler.
I resent being referred to as “the load.” 😂
I'm sure the last load Kelsey flew was absolutely terrified. Sadistic fool that he is, I'm sure he just laughed. [/SARCASM]
@@codacreator6162 exactly: you were but one cell of the load...
@@codacreator6162 Why? It makes you famous; you have a TV Tropes page. XD
(Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for whole afternoons lost to browsing TV Tropes; it's just one of those wikis.)
I've heard the most dangerous part of your flight is the drive to the airport.
Ughhh the traffic
I mean yeah car accidents are more likely to happen to you than a plane crash on a commercial airline operation. People just don't see that the same way because they feel "in control" in their own car, even though that's pretty much an illusion.
Plane crash = death
Car crash = maybe death
@@Carter-dv4hz not every plane crash ends in death though. Most crashes happen at takeoff or landing and people do survive that. Hurt, yea, but often alive
@@Carter-dv4hz if you’re at 40,000 feet and both your wings rips off yeah you’ll die but majority of accidents in planes happen shortly after takeoff and can be handled safely, most accidents only result in a handful of deaths if any sometimes. The one where lots of deaths happen is at cruise and something catastrophic happens. As he said the pilots are on the plane as well with no way out other than getting the plane on the ground as safe and quick as possible so they will absolutely do their best to get everyone and everything there safely
As a nervous flyer, I've started to watch some of you're videos, and have become less and less scared of flying!
Knowledge helps! The more you learn, the more you know what to /really/ be scared for. And for normal flights it's nothing to be afraid of. Even if the door suddenly opens on a Boeing because the bolts were loose (if you fastened your seatbelt) or an engine flames out (it's fine) or turbulence (it's fine) or icing (it's fine, they'll go back before it's serious).
Flying is the absolute safest way to travel, if you consider miles traveled per person. Nothing beats it. Driving to the store is more dangerous, really.
The sheer number of things that are in place to prevent disasters is astounding! Its a whole intricate field with layers and layers between all elements of flying from plane design to regulation and standard practices. All shaped by decades of work and sadly accidents... but its all shaped how flying works today.
Same
! I had to cancel my vacation and flight home last week
. Feel so stupid, but these have def helped a lot
If you should fear anything, it should be the drive to the airport.
Airliners are VERY safe, otherwise we'd spend everyday dodging them falling from the skies, right? 😁
“It sounds like the fuel imbalance is a really, really severe situation” got me on the floor 😂
Even though I fly a lot I still get nervous every time, but xiaoma’s misinformation and overreacting is just next-level
It really was weird how he reacted.
"I don't know what's going on! I'm so scared!
"Nah, it's not a huge deal, we just couldn't continue."
"You're saying we almost DIED??"
"No. Here, let me explain it to you in the cockpit."
"YOU SAVED MY LIFE."
Its really dangerous. Imagine having to fly back and fix the issue? You can die waiting for your next flight in the airport for coffe poisoning or something 😅
Maybe you're a foreign spy and you barely managed to escape your captors then you go back and you're going to prison or get interrogated for 72h before getting extradited to a classified prison on a remote island.
I dunno, maybe? It would do a good movie intro. Getting captured because a plain got back hahaha.
That's just his reaction, his experience. Yeah he's wrong but he's not presenting this as a plane safety course. He's just narrating how he felt in the moment and what he thought in the moment (aka i'm going to die, it's a huge deal, i'm so scared)
@@average.yt.commenter609 His reaction is informed by his natural melodrama and need to reframe everything as UA-cam clickbait. And is constructed to upset and scare people to get clicks, and thus make money. Always mindboggling to me that anyone thinks guys like this are truly sincere.
@@derp195 He has actual NPC energy with this one.
This is crazy. The drama of the music alone is enough for folks to just freak out. This is why I am thankful that Kelsey does these debrief videos in order to explain what is happening and put passengers at ease. Educate, educate, educate! Keep it up! Have a great week everyone!
He's a fantastic actor tho!
@@neom0nk Absolutely!😂
@@KainsAddiction Agreed.. 100% drama bait.
Actually it's Aviate, Navigate, Communicate, Educate
For real, I see the baby-gear in that manic dude's room and simply fear for that child.
People don’t realize how watching aviation vids can make you feel secure af. Ppl always called me crazy for watching air crash investigations before flying when rly its comforting to know how much redundancy there is and how much has to go wrong before something can happen
this. i watched that show a lot as a kid because i was just interested, and what stuck out to me is how many things have to go wrong for a crash to happen, and how no two crashes were the same. even before getting really into aviation i felt safer on the plane than in the car getting to the airport
Agreed. I've always been a nervous flyer and I find watching videos like this (and crash investigations) has really helped with that. But now I'm a nervous flyer with enough knowledge to qualify as an Av Geek. Could be worse, I guess!
Make sure to watch Sully the night before too
"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." 😀
I love that show, and stuff like Kelsey's channel and Mentour Pilot. And I've never felt safer when flying because of having that insight into aviation and everything that has gone into making things safe.
Kelsey trying to hold back laughter at 17:20 was worth watching until the end! “I guess there’s two different sides of the plane”
Indeed. I've had that look myself listening to people.
Or the one 10 seconds before, when the fuel imbalance was a "really, really severe situation", and Kelsey does his best Mr. Spock imitation. 🤣🤣🤣
You kind of have to recognize that there is a ton of anxiety in the world. I happen to think it's caused largely by human bodies having a ton of poisons and nanoplastics in them, causing epigenetic changes over generations. Younger generations are suffering with this. Everyone is very dramatic because they are anxious.
Channels like yours and Mentours have helped my fear of flying immensely. I look forward to flying now and even want to learn to fly myself. Bringing the info at the depth you guys do to people on UA-cam is awesome and helps tons of people with their fears and inspires others
strangely, yheir videos have made me extremely scared to fly again 😂
i was never scared of flying before them 🫠
Dude Mentours is SUCH a good channel. That dude makes quality, educational content. I started watching his channel and now I can't stop. It's so good.
Gotta give it to the dude, he got one thing right.
There ARE two different sides on a plane!
If your referring to the fuel tanks, in some cases there are three. One is in the belly and referred to as a 'center wing tank' IIRC
There are at least six, Port Side, Starboard side, Top side, Bottom side, Inside and outside, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AbandonTheWest No, they're referring to the UA-camr said, "I guess there's two sides of the plane." Yes, he corrected himself to say two fuel tanks, but a lot of what he said in dramatic fashion is just common sense, but he _guesses_ that's the case.
@@AbandonTheWest Depending on the model of plane, there could be up to 5 tanks. Center tank, L Wing, R Wing, Aux 1, and Aux 2. (Airbus A-321)
@@dogwalker666 You forgot front and back. So eight sides.
I laughed so hard at "we're not going to sugar-coat something and then all of a sudden as soon as we land be like 'Psych! Run!'" I always love your take on things Kelsey. I used to fly (as a passenger) almost weekly for my job pre-covid and your videos make me realize how much I miss flying. I'm sure I'll love it even more on future trips, now that I understand much more about aviation.
I know right? I busted out laughing 😂
The most dangerous thing about flying is the passengers.
I mean, I was lied to by the captain when the Düsseldorf airport burnt down and people died. He downplayed the whole situation to his passengers and said nobody was hurt. I only learned the truth after I landed. I'm sure he just wanted to keep people calm but the fact of the matter is: he lied and my trust in these announcements is now shattered forever.
Sorry but I call this BS. Anyone who's been attentive during that airplane documentary from 1981 knows about the "DON'T PANIC / OKAY, PANIC" light above the seats, and Shirley the flight crew would have used it in that situation.
@@matt4054yt it was 1981 it's 2022 so...that would be less likely
The leaps of imagination needed to get this far. The YT'er demonstrates how little he knows about aviation and jet travel, how sheltered he's kept himself, his lack of interest educating himself and how worthless he'd be in a true crisis situation. Kudos to Kelsey for his professional evaluation of the video and situation.
Also, a big key you missed. How much $$$ he makes from a video that will get clicks.
Him just saying his plane had a malfunction and had to return won’t get clicks!! He’s gotta lie and say it was near death!
Xiamao or however you spell it is probably one of the worst UA-cam click baiters who exploits people for content
Hmm very interesting to say he has a lack of educating himself. Dude actually knows a lot more in a lot of areas you probably haven’t even thought about educating yourself in. It’s all cool and stuff to shit on someone for not knowing a lot about a specific topic but you’re just an ass
That kid needs to grow up!
People like this guy on social media are just plain volatile.
I love his way of presenting... "psyche, run!!!" 😅. Highly entertaining (and educating) for a nervous flyer.
I like the fact he's not too technical and he takes time to explain, nor does he dwell on accidents, like many do.
I think that guy was genuinely afraid. However, after he got home he should have realized that his plane actually did not run out of fuel. I think he was just using clickbait like so many other channels I block.
Well you can think what you want, but whether or not that's true is a different matter.
Dude was definitely a drama queen
Yep. This was so shameful and irresponsible of him to post. The better option would have been for him to do a little more investigating and then made a video (perhaps with one of the many pilots who have UA-cam channels) to helped educate his viewers. He could still have a click-baity title, he could still have talked how scared he was in the moment, but then folliw up with how relieved he was afterwards when he found out how it was not such a big deal after all.
Next time one of his videos shows up in my recommendations I'm blocking the channel.
@@bangerxshane2962 Saying that I think something is a good thing. I clearly do not know this guy and I clearly do not know what he is thinking. You can find so many people who will claim to you that they "know" everything. I trust people who say when they think things and who admit when they get things wrong. If you want to trust people on the Internet who claim to "know" everything, then that's on you.
@@GarageQueen yeah, he definitely shouldn't have used the title of his video without adding a question mark, because the plane didn't actually run out of fuel. This dude is definitely not familiar with how safe air travel, but he is VERY FAMILIAR with the UA-cam algorithm and how to bait people into his videos and channel.
This dude seems like he’s already prone to drama. It’s amazing how having information can make a difference between thinking you almost died and just having a flight delay that took a little extra time
Nah xioma is a very level headed person. He also flied a lot in his day flying to Asian countries and living in Shanghai China for some time. This just seems like a an instance of a person being truly terrified which is understandable. Furthermore he just had his baby girl just a few months prior I was actually at the hospital when she was born. He doesn’t shake up like this. So I believe it was all of that at once kind of hit him hard.
no. His videos is mainly him traveling and getting massages all over and stuff. His videos are really good. He suffers from anxiety.
@@DevDoesAThing I saw a drama queen getting hits
too many killer pilots out there that dont know what they are doing. they dont even maintain their own plane
@@mackdaddy6123It's illegal for a pilot of any kind to fix their own airplane. Only an A&P can fix an aircraft and certify it for flight. Private pilots and up can perform preventitive maintenance.
I love how humble you are, Kelsey
Thank you for clearing this up, I'm a nervous flyer yet with the right videos it educates me about how safe most flights are.
This guy is such a big baby. I’m a really nervous flier and am convinced every bump and noise is going to be the end, but I know in reality that can’t be true and keep it all to myself, while I crush the armrest in fear.
Sounds like ur the big baby😂
Flying planes is like playing the lottery. IN reverse. So, every time you play you up your odds, but then again, the odds in lotteries are rigged, so the likelihood of getting a "winning" ticket in the air is extraordinarily small.
I'm the same lol. I understand the statistics of the plane going down is practically impossible. yet I am completely convinced that bitch is going down when I'm on it.
🤣🤣
He's not a baby. He's just uninformed and when fed information he's not familiar with he interprets it with what makes sense to him as a person who has zero clue on how modern airplane works.
I love that Kelsey is tracking these videos that may be either intentionally or unintentionally fearmongering and taking the time to explain the safety of modern aviation.
I agree, but on the other hand it's a shame that these brats get the airtime
Yeah, that guy was strictly trying to make money on YT. It was a nothing-burger. He didn't film anything at all except the lights once they were safely stopped on the runway.
@@rebeccahenderson7761 Xiaoma has a HUGE channel. He doesn't need to post anything apart from his regular content for money
@@HeyItsKesh Whatever, he's a fake. But actually, he seemed like a little boy with emotional issues.
@@rebeccahenderson7761 Or maybe whos just misinformed...?
Thanks for a great video Kelsey! OMG this fella must’ve made already nervous flyers swear off flying forever!! Hopefully you were able to get the attention of some of those scared people & reassure them how grossly inaccurate this report of ‘plane ran out of fuel over the ocean’! Thanks for explaining the situation so well!! 👏🏻
What an amazing video. Love the humour and of course the facts. What would we do without you teaching us about flying and keeping us informed about the realities. We know all to well how information can get twisted. Really really appreciate your professional info!
Great video. As an ex flight attendant, it infuriates me that this guy made this video. It doesn’t help anyone who is a nervous flyer. You cleared it up exactly how it is. I hope he watches your video.
Oh I am sure he will watch this video
Yeah... he got his clicks... I’m sure he is on to his next fake drama dilemma
@@badlandskid that’s not what he does. He is a very successful youtuber with all positive material.
@@MyLondon4Life - After seeing this video of his I have to disagree. He made this video and there’s nothing positive about it. He’s spreading fear and misinformation for views.
He’s just the usual clickbaiter he doesn’t care about the truth
Im not a nervous flyer, but a piece of advice my dad (a helicopter mechanic) gave me regarding being a passenger on commercial aircraft is that "either you're going to be fine or it wont be your problem anymore"
Indeed.
My father learned to fly helicopters at 60, but way before that he would say to me: "I'm a fatalist. If the plane is going down, it's going down. Nothing we can do about it." Didn't make me any less nervous, but I do try to think about that. I control what I can: know where the exits are, know to leave everything behind, then don't worry about it since I'm not flying the plane.
I am really anxious of flying, but when I am in the plane, I always think of the words of my mum: „you will come down back to earth either way. so there is no need to worry“ 😂
too many killer pilots out there that dont know what they are doing. they dont even maintain their own plane
There’s a sort of peace that comes with flying because it’s out of your hands yk
I watch Xiaoma, but only his videos where he suprises people by speaking in their native languages. Lately, 74 Gear is my new favorite channel .
Your doing important work here Kelsey in making these super informative videos. Thank you. 🙂
We need a "Kelsey" in every corner of the Internet for every topic. Thank you for the service you do in correcting misunderstanding leading to misinformation. Great video as always Captain!
What we need is less fat man children crybabies.
Ann Readon does the culinary side of this for food hacks. Her arch nemesis? 5 min crafts
Moreover, correcting him without making fun of and embarrassing him.
We do usually...but people refuse to listen to them...
We already do….
Kelsey, I appreciate that you're approaching this video from a POV of empathy and education. It would be easy to just roast this guy, but you take it as an opportunity to educate and illustrate for everybody to understand the safety procedures and priorities in the aviation industry.
@Jimorian, this guy deserves ZERO empathy. Ok, he got scared, fine. But after landing he got a detailed personal explanation from the captain. He then put out a b.s. video saying his plane "ran out of fuel" over the ocean. So he could get clicks. Even if he gets roasted he won't care because it's just more traffic to his channel. This is the world we live in. Smdh. Sadly, most news outlets and "journalists" aren't much better. Fear sells. People tend to watch scary stuff and ratings sell ads.
All he had to do was put "I thought we were going to crash in the ocean!" as his title and I wouldn't be here ranting.
@@jayamburn1959 just ranting on YT comments section like an old man.
I say ROAST the ignorant snowflake. Fsss! Done! Alternate explanation for all the hysteria: he's a UA-camr with nothing to say, DESPERATELY looking for content. Unfortunately, he was much too successful.
@@toddsmith8608 what on earth is your problem? You have here a person who you can see is visibility distraught over what happened to him the day prior and decided to make a video on something he thought was enough of a big deal to share on his language channel. In the explanation he received from the pilot it obviously either wasn't made clear to him the problem was far less severe than he originally assumed or he was still so anxious from the flight he wasn't focused enough to understand what the pilot was telling him.
Either way, just because you aren't anxious about potentially dangerous things happening on planes doesn't mean you have to flame other people for it
@@coin5207 i do agree with his point though , it was clickbait , going from fuel imbalance to ran out of fuel is a long way, maybe as you say he didn't remember exact words but he did clearly say the fuel leak assumption so why not title it that way instead of "ran out of fuel"
Heyy! thanks for this great vid, im not scared of flying at all and im well aware that planes dont crash because of turbulance or the basics so i just wanted to give out an thank you for people like you making these videos so hopefully more people understand how safe flying actually is!
Trust your highly trained pilots and crew people.
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate this video as someone who is normally fine flying but gets a little nervous from time to time on flights over the ocean. Knowing that those longer flights over the Atlantic and Pacific are routed in a way where they can get to nearby airports on the way (given ~3 hours flying on one engine or something similar) really helps calm my mind down about those longer flights. I'll remember that next time I go on one of those.
Thank you Kelsey. I am so glad you covered this. It’s frustrating when people misconstrue a situation and blow it out of proportion.
....and spread their misplaced fear.
"Silence is golden; duct tape is silver."
Also when ppl hear/see crap online and just assume it's true without looking into it or the source at all
Wish I could give this a million likes.
Here's my question he seems genuinely was sharing his experience and wasn't intentionally trying to spread misinformation, so why after the pilot explain it was a imbalance and not a fuel leak situation, he still made that title? 🤔
"...misconstrue a situation and blow it out of proportion" - The story of modern journalism.
@@damioncjm yep, that's the part that pisses me off. He was scared in the moment - that's a totally valid response! We've probably *all* been scared in a flight at least once. But to go ahead and make an overly dramatic video talking as if it was a near-death experience that was *narrowly* averted by his hyper-vigilant pilot? Even after he found out the real story? pffft. Miss me with that ish.
You are very generous in your handling of this. I don’t doubt he was scared, but I find it hard to believe the title wasn’t click bait. The plane never ran out of fuel, that’s just a flat out lie. Kudos for you taking the high road though. You’re a real class act.
_" I don’t doubt he was scared, ..."_
I *DO* doubt he was scared. He was no more afraid than you were. His entire video was B/S clickbait.
Same. That turd was being incredibly manipulative and disengenuous. Will never watch him going frwd. Good for Kelsey for taking the high road and giving him the BotD but he broke the first rule of creator club imo.
He is always clickbaity.
If you know anyone speaking other languages search videos of him where he speaks said language and ask the native/fluent speaker about his impression...(Still quite a task to be able to stutter basic phrases and understand the verry basics in multiple languages but far from the fluency claim he uses)
Yeah I felt like a dick and didn't want to say anything since I know it'd be insensitive. But the whole time he was talking in my head I was legitimately getting angry at how much of a wimp and a whiny B he was being.
I know thats not right but all I could think was "Jesus F-king christ, calm the Fk down" dude was inventing stories in his head and exaggerating every detail whipping himself up into a frenzy.
And yeah, I knew it'd be complete BS or at least extremely exaggerated when the Title claims they ran out of fuel over the middle of the Atlantic but somehow he's still alive making the video.
Seems to have been very intentionally click bait and with the 1/2 million+ views he got looks like it worked.
Where was the video of the captain looking at the wing, the stewardess saying fuel leak. He’s a UA-camr so always has a camera or microphone on him. ? This guys a clickbait hero end of
Awesome explanation ,as always, plus you also managed to make it entertaining ,whilst factually describing potential problems and the challenges,solutions and decisions made to deal with it.
It’s not a flight I’d be comfortable on,brown alert,not knowing what you’ve just explained but I’m more at ease now I know the 1 engine protocol over oceans.
Good job 👍🏻
as a structural airframe assembler just a note to add is its not two sides (2 wings) of fuel. They have ribs and many sections of fuel tanks and fuel pumps on each wing. I've worked on global 5000/6000/7000 and dont quote me but I belive there like 27 bays on each wing of the 7000, so if the pumps aren't transferring fuel correctly it can effect your aerodynamics and roll.
Who thought it was actually Kelsey’s plane dropping in the Atlantic
I clicked so fast because I thought it was his plane.
@@johnnyventola9349 me too
Me haha
I knew it wasn’t because we would have already heard about that in the news. 747 running out of fuel midair would be a HUGE event.
Yeah, he's not usually one to use such a clickbait title deliberately...
I love the fact that the captain explained it.... kudos to him being willing to explain on camera! One time, as a student pilot, I had 8 fire trucks lined up on the runway to watch my "normal" landing. I had an electrical failure at night which caused my transponder to fail. Because of where I was flying, that transponder was required by regulations. In order to continue that flight, I had to declare an emergency and when you do that, regardless of what the emergency is, it's going to stir up the hornets nest! There was no "emergency", no "life or death" situation in the colloquial sense -- just a paperwork and regulatory sense... but I still got the same airport response for my little 2 seater as an airliner would have gotten :).
Are you sure the captain knew he was on camera?
Appropriate first responder response. Had a call out before retiring of a small fire, which it was. We were able to subdue the fire with a single extinguisher, no injuries, no fatalities, minor damage. We rolled up in full gear, with 2 trucks, and paramedics. Better to be way over prepared than under prepared.

I just subscribed to your channel. I'm addicted to your explanations and your delivery. Great work!
Very enlightening! I think this is great to know. Plus I am a nervous flyer. Learning about these kinds of things help me to understand. It makes me admire what you do more.
Rookie hasn’t been flying long enough to gain perspective. We departed out of Narita during a typhoon in 2007. Bumpiest climb out ever. I looked at an FA and he was just working his Sudoku puzzle. If he’s okay, I’m okay. Couple years ago, we were told we were diverting into Dallas because our starboard engine “wasn’t happy”. I thought it was amusing.
Yep! I was on a flight from New York a couple years after 9/11 and, as we neared Detroit, I noticed that the plane began slowly flying in a circle. I watched the sunshine slowly move across the cabin and thought, "what the heck is going on?" I looked at the flight attendants and they seemed perfectly calm and relaxed so I decided to just stay seated, but remain vigilant. (Because, you know, 9/11) The Captain came on 30 seconds later to explain that there were a lot of planes landing in Detroit so they were asked to hold for a couple minutes before continuing our approach. At the time I knew nothing about "holding patterns" and "delay vectors" but somehow managed to not panic.
Apparently I need to make a UA-cam video describing my "near-death" experience when my flight out of New York began "flying in circles!" 😆
In 2018, I also departed from Narita airport, and around the Kyushu island It got bumpy because the plane (an Airbus A380) was passing at the edge of a Typhoon, and it got also bumpy all the rest of the flight, because it was stormy from South China until i arrive at the Dubai international airport... I only got frustrated because I couldn't sleep due to the turbulence... But I wasn't scared at all, these airline pilots have a LOT OF HOURS of training, and flying from A to B, so why entering in panic? Panic only makes it get worse....
Thank you Tom Clancy
I lived on Okinawa in 2007 and experienced that typhoon! I believe it was Typhoon Man-Yi, or something close to that.
Yeah, you want all your engines to be happy lol!
Kelsey's little eyebrow raise at 17:07 had me in stitches 😂 just hope the nervous flyers are actually getting something outta these vids because the info Kelsey constantly gives is invaluable!
he actually did it a few times: 9:08 and again 17:32
Kelsey is like, seriously bro?
@@CapStar362 I did it at 9:08 as well. “Thousands of miles……” ;-)
😂
@@JimsEquipmentShed i mentioned 9:08 ;)
The condescending eye brow raise , love it
I was on a Delta flight back to MN and we went through emergency procedures. The staff did an amazing job keeping everyone calm, that runway when we touched down was lit up like Christmas.
Thank you for you great dissection of this video - I recently read a story of a Trans Atlantic BA flight that developed a problem shortly after departure and the crew decided to take a lower altitude on its Atlantic track and continue - the FAA had issues with it afterwards but the crew considered it safe having discussed it with "the company". and they completed the journey safely. You will always have people over exaggerate a problem
Thank you Kelsey for clearing this up. I saw this video & thought to myself "this guy is totally over exaggerating this situation." It was really nothing to worry about. It is great to hear you talk about aviation to people who may not understand it like we do! Keep up the awesome videos!!!!
The guy was full of crap, but of course to a non aviation guy this is huge, but it was a non event. Just stupid what becomes viral these days.
Why did he start to cry? Kelsey said he was telling his family goodbye even though he was back home? I’m just glad I don’t have to waste more time watching the cry baby video.
@@samiam619 I was watching the original video, and the guy played another video that he took while he was on the plane where he was saying goodbye to his family (clearly overreacting). But there was sad music playing over it or something at some point and I was like "OK but you're clearly fine though."
Yep. Kelsey is being kind to this guy. He's either being a total drama queen for the sake of his channel or just constantly lives in fear over every possible negative outcome in life.
honestly, if I saw a video titled _'my plane ran out of fuel over the Atlantic ocean'_ I'd think to myself _'bad planning mate, now you're gonna bear the consequences of your ignorance, rest in peace'_ o/
Back in 2001, I was a First Officer on-board a transatlantic flight when we ran out of fuel due to a mechanical issue on engine 2 (right engine) caused by improper maintenance. Downstream issues resulted in complete loss of engine 1 (left engine) as well. This resulted in the loss of many hydraulic and electrical systems. Essentially, had it not been for our altitude (39,000 ft), we would have not been able to glide and safely make it to the nearest runway. As such, us pilots know that altitude [and speed] are other forms of 'fuel', especially in emergency situations.
Yikes on trikes! Glad you made it.
@Dirk De Jager Air Transat Flight TSC236 I presume. You sir, along with Captain Piche, did an incredible job in getting that A330 onto that runway at Larjes in the Azores. Unlike this story, the pair of you truly did save many lives that day.
Wow 🙏🙏🙏💪
You’re a legend man, I’m shocked you’re not the top comment. Air Transat 236, hell of a job.
You sir are a legend!!
I enjoy kelseys videos. He explains everything so informative and in depth.
I could tell by the way this guy in the video talks that he is prone to being afraid of things even if they present little to no danger
I work in SysCon at an airline and this video is so accurate. I love Xiaoma and i've felt like him in the past on crazy flights. But planes are actually so much safer than most realize.
I had a near death experience once… a car hit me while I was on my motorcycle. Skidding across a highway is an NDE. A “fuel imbalance” is not a NDE.
We all know he did it for the clicks. This is the world we live in.
I pushed really hard while constipated once and my eyeball popped out and almost fell out of its socket. NDE.
@@pegg00 I happened to enter the public restroom you were in after your NDE with constipation and had an NDE as well. At least I think it was you.
Airlines should require people to watch at least 5 of your videos before they’re allowed to fly. They’re very reassuring about how safe it actually is to fly while explaining normal procedures and when to be nervous or not. 👍
Absolutely!!!!
I agree but being nervous on an airplane is useless as there is really nothing you can do about some situations.
Just breath and listen to the crews instructions.
@@notme2day yes it’s useless. Kelsey does a great job of explaining how little danger there actually is in scenarios that can cause fear for some flyers.
People should be educated in many things before taking part of it, the internet for example. But even if you educate them it can still be chaotic (for example traffic) because peoples brain is a lil like a colander. ^^
Btw. never get nervous. Even if the plane dive to the ground. Getting nervous will not help you to survive. Just enjoy the ride and the view. Not many people have the chance to experience death this way. ;-)
They show one and I’d say only about half of people actually watch it.
When I was younger I was on a 2 engine plane that lost an engine and we landed at an earlier airport. This was about 30 years ago. What worried me was that the cabin crew looked scared. We landed safely and were towed to the gate and all was fine at which point the pilot came on and said it was the first time he had done that - he got a round of applause.
Eta - this experience did make me a nervous flier and I have found your videos really helpful so thank you!
I have flight anxiety, and to take care of it I watch videos like this and shows like Mayday to see how safe flying is.
I fly for work over one hundred times a year , and have been on board with many semi emergency 's happening. The closest I have got to this guys reaction was on a flight to London from LA . I was in business class and my congac was getting very low and I could not get a response from the flight attendant. Luckily I found a crew member walking past me and asked for a top up , not paying much attention, in short the captain came back to me with my fresh glass and we both laughed. But it was touch and go there for a while lol
Hahaha I would have been absolutely mortified 😂
Lol
25 years ago, I sat by a Boeing Engineer. at the time they were work on the final test for the 777. They had to fly to Hawaii, half way they had to cut one engine, fly the rest of the way one just one. He also said you probably wouldn't even know unless someone told you.
Very well explained - thank you very much for de-mystifying the situation for this guy (and the rest of the viewers who have no pre-knowledge). I hope he watched your video.
Kelsey, you rock! Love the way you enjoy yourself with this. And that Captain, wow; talk about 'an extra mile', eh.
In short: safety procedures and redundancy worked exactly as they were designed to. Happy to hear :)
it happens more often then you would like it to that's for sure the running out of fuel over the ocean part
I'd love for pilots to be like "PSYCHE! RUN!" on a regular basis.
@ 14:27 ... lol 😆
SIKE*
🤣
Oh no, no, no.
😂😂😂
Very grateful for this informative clarification from the expert!
You're the best man. Love this channel.
His drive to the airport put him in more danger than his flight
I was flying to Amsterdam once, and the plane lost just about everything except auxiliary power. I was in business class, overnight flight, back before planes were jam packed, and had stretched out to sleep. A couple of hours into the return a flight attendant woke me up to ask if I realized there was a problem. Yup! No point in losing sleep over what may or may not happen.
Sensible. You did everything you could do to help, which was precisely nothing.
(and avoided getting in the crew's way while they were resolving the issue)
Excuse me sir, i noticed you aren't panicking. Would you like a shot of epinephrine and a hot towel?
Waking you up, dear me.
"I'd like to hit the afterlife with a full 8 hours if you don't mind" xD
Something like that happened to me but it was when we were backing out of the gate we had to go back in and wait for a while
Brave brave Marilyn
Gotta love pragmatics
I have had a number of emergencies. Generally, they were well in advance so any passengers would understand. It’s a challenge to communicate what’s happening effectively without producing alarm. Great video Kelsey.
Well handled. These things can cause anxiety to already anxious flyers.
Is it just me or does the guy freaking out over nothing look like the kind of person to freak out over nothing like that….
Nope, it's not just you.
This dude seems exhausting.
He's a classic drama queen.
He looks like he cries when they get his Starbucks sixteen different ingedients $8 coffee order wrong.
@@iknklst 🤣
Kelsey, I'm one of those nervous fliers you talked about (I've never had an in-flight emergency happen, but I just don't like the feeling of being up in the air/turbulence/sudden turns the plane makes) and I appreciate your content so much. Seeing you break down this video and explain that the situation wasn't as dire as it appeared really made me feel better.
if it makes you feel any better, the plane can take more stress in certain ways than our bodies can!
wait, that made me feel worse...
Could I recommend that you go to your airport and get a couple hours of time with an instructor? Once YOU are at the controls you'll have a whole different outlook on flight. Best part, no reverse gear.
Let me point out something for thought. Civilian aircraft are comfortable going through the air at 130 to 600 mph. When there's a storm you run into the house that has a max airspeed rating of what??
I flew through a Typhoon once and the plane did fine. NONE of the homes did!
Think about it, schedule an instructor, have fun!
It wasn't dire at all. The video maker was never in any increased danger. He was just scared and uninformed and made a spectacle over it.
You can safely compare turbulence to being on a bumpy road in a car, probably even safer on a plane due to it being stronger.
Last I checked aviation was statistically the safest mode of travel.
It's funny how watching your videos have made me feel more safe when flying. I was never afraid before but your videos are reassuring. For example when I heard the guy in the video freak about seeing the firetrucks I was like duh that's totally normal what's the big deal.
I love the ending, cracked me up! 😂 Keep up the good work.
Kudos for being really tactful, respectful and understanding to Xiaoma. The guy seems really rattled by the experience and turning it into a learning opportunity is the best thing you could do.
Is he the guy who learns to speak a new language, ANY language, super fast and then shocks native speakers of the language?
@@mneugent7658...Yes
@@Vod-Kaknockers Thanks. Yeah, I think he's playing up the drama for the camera.
Kelsey is so gracious to some of these absolute ....He even gave him air-time on on this, once again, great information, for the flying public. Your channel is growing because of your professional demeanor and knowledge of flying. Thanks for being so patient! Keep the info coming.
I don’t see that he did much wrong in this video except the title. It’s not a crime to be uneducated.
@@pluux It's not, but the more reach you have, the more responsibility you have at the same time. A little research, or even just a disclaimer that you only recollect your subjective experience and look forward to some input on what happened from more educated viewers would've come a long way imho.
The guy in question is actually very very intelligent. He speaks a shit ton of different languages; not everyone who rides the bus knows how the bus works, same goes with planes.
What a p*ssy drama for attn click baiter. Imagine if there had been a truly serious issue (which I have experienced)? Even before I knew as much about aviation, I would take a "normal" landing to be, uh, normal, and as long as the plane wasn't smoking/on fire, bucking around or losing massive altitude, I'd figure things were manageable. And I was a nervous flyer. Kelsey, what I really want to know is what the heck is on his head and why is he in his parent's junk room? And why do people follow this num null? Half a million views! Obviously, if his plane had actually run out of fuel, he probably wouldn't be here, or whole different deal all over the news, thus, clickbait, so no need to watch. SMH
@@RoadhouseDeluxe If he was very intelligent he would have looked up what a fuel imbalance was before putting out an absolute load of bullshit.
He had a phone on him. Maybe instead of of trying to get as many clicks as possible by filming in the airport he could have put "fuel imbalance, airplane" into a search engine.
I knew that planes had 2 independent fuel tanks when I was 11 and I'm no pilot or aircraft engineer.
You are simply awesome 👏
Thank you KELSY for another awesome video.
Blessings,, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
To start with, I've been a long time subscriber of both Kelsey and Xiamo, so seeing their collaboration has been an interesting and very multiverse-eque experience! With that said, Ari seems to be prone to a level of hyperbole and drama when something scary/disturbing in his life happens. Not to discredit the feelings I'm sure he had, but there is definitely some overreaction on his part that he could have toned down for his video (of course, that would'nt have made a viral video, but I digress...) Nonethless, I'm grateful for Kelsey's breakdown of the situation and insight into what happened. He nailed it when he said that some people who are nervous flyers tend to get anxious when they don't completely understand things. I wasn't there, so I have no idea how I would have reacted myself, but I try not to rely on knee-jerk emotional reaction over ration/reason. As always, a great video, Kelsey!
I'm amazed at your patience explaining this video. The poor guy seems to be a bit of a drama queen. I had a little more empathy for the guy until he showed the clip of the pilot explaining what went wrong. The pilot is clearly not overly concerned and explained it in a way that made it clear it wasn't something to be overly concerned about but then the guy in the video decided he almost died.
Most people would be scared in this situation. He's not a drama queen he just didn't understand because he's not an expert in aviation like Kelsey is. I would have been scared too even though I understand aviation better then the average person. Xiaoma is very intelligent. He just doesn't know aviation. Nothing wrong with being scared in this situation. It's just the way he explains it to his fans that bother Kelsey I think. He spoke before he knew type thing.
Huge drama queen. The pilot was at least keeping the passengers informed.
@@AC_702 oh ok. cool. Thanks for clearing that up.
@@musicninja2833 Nah many people would not be scared, thanks to having some knowledge about how aviation works, also thanks to the work of Kelsey and others like him. So when the pilots of my flight do a go around, and the guy next to me says "Wow, that must have been a near miss!!!", I can say "No, we did a go around to AVOID a near miss."
@@Vpmatt I feel like most would be a little nervous maybe not scared but nervous. So maybe scared was the wrong word. However, you're right. Thanks to Kelsey and others it does help a lot of us understand better.
Kelsey, your face when he's walking and talking through the terminal - never seen you look so serious, and was that a definite snarl when he said, 'it's a really, really, severe situation'? 🤣
those "WTF" moments with his eyebrow and lip twitches, i was LOL!!
This channel has comforted so many flight fears that cross my mind while on a plane. I don't have a fear of flying but I am human and get intrusive thoughts. 😅
As a person who isn’t keen on flying, your commentary on this one really helped. The guy in the video seemed quite immature and I’m not that bad, but the information about ‘waypoints’ was really comforting. Thank you. You are doing mire to help me than my Flying without Fear course.
The best way to learn how safe it is would be really learning ground school. EVERY horror story made these crazy complicated rules and regulations and every link in the chain that brought a bird down will be investigated so that weakest link can be broken way before its too late.
wow, that opportunity this guy got... i'd love to be able to talk to the captain in the cockpit, and have them explain an issue like that to me, while actually pointing it out on the instruments and stuff. i don't think he properly appreciates what just happened here
it's crazy how scared people get about flying, but they have absolutely zero issues driving every day
Regarding your last statement, I think it's because while you're much more likely to get in a car crash than a plane crash, you're much more likely to die in a plane crash than a car crash. So basically, the chances you'll be in a plane wreck is much smaller, but the chances that crash will be fatal are much larger.
@@spddiesel That’s true, though air travel, especially with commercial airliners, is far, far safer than driving.
Humans are not made for flying. We like to stay with our feets on ground. Some a afraid of driving or sailing too. I like the risk, so I like everything. But I never flew (environmental thing, I can travel with train where I want to for now, but I want to be a helicopter pilot when I was a kid and I am still fascinated of aviation).
@@nooboard in a way it's true. Humans are afraid to lose control of their situation. Passengers aren't made to fly, the pilots and flight systems are.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 I'm not disputing that fact, but I'd be willing to bet if you asked 1000 people if they'd rather be involved in a car crash or a plane crash, car would win handily. Personally, I'd rather drive than fly, mainly because I hate the cattle yard aspect of airports, but also because I have more control over my own destiny driving than I do flying. It's impossible for me to "fly defensively" to increase my chances of surviving or avoiding a plane crash, since I'm just along for the ride. Come to think of it, maybe it's that lack of control that scares most people.
That pilot sounded cool as a cucumber. He pragmatically stated the issue wasn't something he could troubleshoot. He probably only has one regret during this event letting this guy look at the cockpit.
right this guy was clearly a male Karen lol, "no, Pilot I want to see your manager and the airplane's manager"
@@AndyOO6 So true LOL
Pilot: We had a fuel imbalance. UA-camr: WE RAN OUT OF FUEL.
Yes, I hope the pilots don't get in trouble with the airline for participating in this misleading video.
@@Phiyedough I doubt they would as they would have followed the procedures and checklists for fuel imbalance and have ATC recordings and probably contact with the company during and after the event. Plus the recording of talking to the pilot is further proof the pilot stated correctly what happened and would back him up despite the misleading info from the other UA-cam personality.
I love the things you say. I love that you said "The plane will alert the pilot" not that the pilot or pilots are these superhero's or "saving" anyone's life. A good pilot just follows rules, procedures, FAA laws and regulations and listens to the plane. It could also be something that could damage the plane in long run meaning turning back to JFK was more about maintaining a million dollar air craft than pax danger.
That is such a good point about people not knowing what they're talking about putting fear into others about the topic. I used to work in nuclear power, on submarines. I have had SO many friends tell me how terrible and bad and scary nuclear energy is. I had to sit down with them and explain to them why it's not.
The other day, I was driving on the highway and my fuel light came on, and I had to get off and stop at a gas station. The closest to a near death experience I’ve had in a long time.
luckily you made it but it could have been much worse!!
Can you share the link? No reason not to moneti…. ….inform the public to the dangers.
I thought that only happened to me. Sht!
underrated
OMG, your so lucky! So happy you survived your traumatic event.
Being in an actually emergency landing, I can tell you that everyone on the plane was dead quiet.
I love double entendres
@@Grastiars1 Give us one then..
🤔
@@user-oo8xp2rf1k that woman’s grown some huge melons wouldn’tcha say?
They should just say it every time then, shut the plane up and let me take a nap.
I am pretty comfortable every time I listen to your analysis.
Watching this video I learnt something. Not that aviation is safe, not that science and engineering is awesome. That people who don't have a scientific background really do come to some different conclusions. I live in a high rise apartment. We had an earth tremor here that was quite large for Melbourne. While the building was shaking my first reaction was it's going down. Then the engineer in me kicked in and was like holy cow, look at the engineering design kick in, this is awesome! Seeing this video made me appreciate not everyone is like me!
I live in San Francisco and I get the same reaction on the rare occasion that I've been in a high rise during a quake. We build to a VERY high quake standard and so they're built usually on floating foundations and the buildings themselves are super flexible. They sway SO much more than you'd expect from something like that, and it can be scary! It feels counterintuitive to have a building move that much, but that's exactly what makes them so safe!
@@scz1770 earthquake reaction is fine and understandable more so than this event
Was in Reno 26th floor during their 100mph record wind awesome watching light swing foot or 2 side to side
Take this, all you novax out there. Science rules
@@scz1770 that which does not bend will break. First time I flew in a plane I wasn't expecting the wings to move like they did. Always assumed they were just super rigid. Took me a minute to wrap my brain around that lol.
That's crazy I love his videos where he shocks people with his knowledge of their languages but this is weird for him because he is incredibly smart.

this video deserves more clout than the original
MC was our lifeline. Miss line maintenance. Great videos brother.
People can get very nervous! But at the end of the day, thank you for showing us that aviation is nothing to be scared of!
Back in the 90’s, I had to fly from Sydney to Perth for work. I was an extremely nervous flier, and the plane only had 2 engines. Prior to that I had only flown in a 4 engine plane. I was terrified that losing one engine meant a crash. The flight attendant arranged for me to go up front and I spent some time asking questions of the pilots. One of the pilots showed me what he called the “what if” computer, and entered single engine failure. It showed that we could still fly all the way to Perth, but at a reduced altitude. He said that in reality, they would land at the nearest airport. I felt very relieved, and am no longer a nervous flyer.
I thought the same thing until I worked at an airport and got to be on, around and inside planes all day. I'm more nervous then ever now. 🤣
For those who want an *actual* story about a plane running out of fuel, look up the story of Air Canada 143, or the 'Gimli Glider'. It's an amazing story.
Air Transat Flight 236 too is insane. All survived.
Omg that was insane. Literally crazy how he landed it on a random racetrack 😂
@@jagojago12 the racetrack used to be an airport!
Mentour Pilot has done a cracking video on this.
That was a different story, the pilots thought Kgs of fuel were Lbs of fuel. Simple error 🤣
Thank you Sir, very interesting topic, you nailed it.
Your last words of your video,

I enjoy your vids, they're educational and we get to learn some of what it's like to be an airline pilot and travel the globe. Just wish you could show more of your surroundings of the cities where you land, but understand that you're PROBABLY pretty beat and need rest. Thanks for your vids, look forward to seeing more of them. Fly safe brother. ✌️🤓
Another reason First Responders often come out in full force (a firefighter once told me), is that even (or especially) with a "small" event, it makes for a good "practice" session. I'm pretty sure that after everything is back to normal, all the First Responders go through a critique to evaluate how well they performed and what they could do better the next time. Again, that's what a firefighter told me in response to a small tool fire at work. Of course, they're also there and ready in case everything goes belly-up and it becomes a "big" event!
My unit does this all the time, while responding to a minor incident we will use the response as a training drill.
This. They have multiple shifts and crews that rotate through the station and it allows everyone to get repetition in for getting their gear on, getting in the truck with equipment, coordinating a staging area, etc.
@@mynock250 I imagine it's the most boring job in the world and you almost want something to happen.
Watching all these plane crash videos have taught me that the commercial flight industry has the most cautious and professional systems in the world, possibly (or probably) even better than the medical field. Really impressive!
Yes indeed
Def way better than medical. I like to say Professional Pilots vs practicing Doctors.
definitely better than the medical field, at least in the US.
I truly agree with all of y'all on the replies. Strictly no complacency.
The rules and procedures are written in blood, like most very serious things.
Love this video! Awesome explanation!
I remember the first time we moved to NY from PR in 1980 I was a young kid so we're my siblings, and the plane was a 747. I remember thinking this airplane is huge, it was packed almost no empty seats. I had a window seat and I was glued to it the whole time looking at the clouds 😅
Now every time I fly I get the window seat always, that wonderful feeling never gets old.
That kid was waiting his entire life to make a video like this.
Car hits a speed bump: "I almost died in my car"
I was actually on a flight that DID ran out of fuel over the atlantic. I think it was TXL to EWR. We ended up landing on a runway fully covered in ice on an airport in Labrador with no local personal or any human life in sight. We were actually not the only flight there. Apparently, unexpected strong headwinds caused more fuel consumption. We waited four or five hours for fuel to be trucked in, on the plane, with engines off, getting cold and no hot drinks. Flight attendants were amazing handing out blankets and crackers. Btw, we did not "flame-out" and we had a 'normal' landing and while we were landing, I was thinking how these trust reversers slowed down the plane steady despite the ice and how cool that would be in a car - being used to harsh winters when I was younger. It was just eerie to see when we came in, that there was nothing inhabited around us, just a white desert with occasional lakes or bays. From where we were parked, we saw some other flight but no buildings or a tower. It was many years before I went learning how to fly myself, never figured out which airstrip that was. Nobody on board made a fuzz, and everyone was just relaxed, and hoping that temperatures are not dropping too much before we get fuel and are back on our way. Captain was relaxed when he announced: 'this happened to me before, no worries".
Thats an amazing story tbh xD
To be clear, your plane didn't run out of fuel. The pilots saw that the fuel wouldn't be enough to safely reach the destination and turned to one of the planned alternate destinations, just like Kelsey showed in the video.
I would not like a captain to tell me that! LoL
@@Javmon9 "ye lads, we got a problem....we aint got no GAS INNIT". LMAO!!!
I'm glad nobody panicked or kicked up a fuss. Uncomfortable delays happen, but usually in the airport where there's hot coffee!
I used to work in an emergency ambulance control room that covered a pretty big airport and we regularly were put on full emergency stand by, which sounds way more dramatic that it ever was. In 15 years none of them ever became anything which I always remind myself when I get stressy about flying.
"SYKE, RUN!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you make merch for that?
As someone with 2.8 million subscribers talking about flying comforts, He was grossly negligent in not only describing the situation but also as an influencer bringing his irrational fear to his subscribers and anyone else who watch his videos.
I rode in a twin prop back on the early 80s that I feel He would've sworn off flying for good had he flown on it! Stormy weather, wings creaking in wind and turbulence, being lucky to sometimes stay within 100 ft of our flight level. Probably the roughest flight I was ever on even compared to a C-130.
Cool fucking story bro? Lmao
Grossly negligent is absolutely correct. I was in a C141 one time and a crew member walked back with a parachute and helmet. We had a hydraulic leak. He poured fluid in the refill slot right next to where I was sitting. It kept going to empty. So we landed and go another plane.
@@jimsteinway695 cool story bro
@@jimsteinway695 on our flight in the C130 it was night, We had 25 Rangers on the flight also, but they didn't stay, they jumped ( to fulfill their Night jump requirement ) about halfway from Georgia to North Carolina. I'd feel different if it had been a crew member.
It was pretty cool watching them jump though.
