Matt Lauer Worked In An Air Traffic Control Tower - And No One Got Hurt! | TODAY
1:30 Steve! The coolest controler there is/was!
Oh My God !!!
There he is/was 😘
I was an intern when they shot this, now it's a year later and I work here. Amazing!!!
___Axg96 ___ is it fun
@@dgrdst5810 love it!
Still enjoying it?
How is it working as an ATC? I’m currently looking for a school to study this field
@@seventhmaybeats1635 me too
Say what you will about Lauer, this is excellent journalism. Excellent look inside a really critical element of our travel infrastructure. This was awesome to watch.
Great worker bad guy. All of his reports are a great and insightful watch.
I'm just here for Kennedy Steve
arent we all
yes ronald ulysses swanson, I am too.
Me too :D
Nick Scott I'm a simple man. I see a video with Kennedy Steve, I click on it.
SAME HERE!
@1:31 The man, the myth, the legend......Kennedy Steve!
As a retired corporate pilot I can never say enough good about ATC. THOSE GUYS DESERVE MUCH MORE PRAISE THEN THEY GET,. By the way is usually don't get any.
Enjoyed the video as well, thanks.
Totally agree, I've visited a local ATC tower, we have a class Delta, and it is amazing to see what they do. They're really, "behind the scenes." It is unfortunate that they don't get a lot of credit however I doubt that they care because of how much each of them loves there job. Most controllers say It's the best job in the world.
As a student pilot, I agree. Granted, there's a few bad apples here and there. But you get that everywhere in any field. Most of them are great at what they do.
I have been offered many times to come take a tour of different control towers and centers...every time I ask if I can make a video and they say it's not allowed...this video says otherwise. :)
Its Steveo! I'm just a fellow aviator and patreon supporter :) Its great to see you on this random video haha.
Love ur channel Steveo.
steveo1kinevo I got a tour myself and it's an eye opening experience
Steve, it has to be approved by the ATM... they had to get permission in advance to do so. Higher chance a well known media outlet that is trusted by the government and is regulated will get authorization to do so.
hey steveo! love you and your channel! even in my Flightradar24 app I always track your plane
Back in the 70's, my uncle was head/manager of a control tower in a large Canadian airport. I found out many years later that he was a long-time alcoholic. His daughter (my cousin) had said many of the people he had worked with and had managed were substance abusers as well due to the extreme stress that they were under at their jobs.
Really? Drug and alcohol testing is mandatory and the restrictions are pretty tight. Substance abuse is grounds for immediate firing
70's

"Does this security card give me access to the womens restroom?"
implying there are any women working in ATC tower.
@@vkaa3k190 I was actually wondering about that. How many women are in that sector
why would u wanna go in the womens toilet anyway,...it stinks, you're better catching them outside, coz they'd put the perfume on and smell much nicer :-) LOL
Janet Airlines weirdo
Janet Airlines--You could also say that he asked, "which room with a desk do I get to use and which female ATC do I get to harass?"
It always amazes me how skilled these people are I definitely have lots of respect for them.
Yeah absolutely. I think it’s actually required to have at least an associates degree for like air traffic controlling.
Not Matt tho lol
They needed to feature Kennedy Steve
I was looking for him.
he appears for a second.
+ttmaggebo what time in the vid please
+PASSwordUSERname 1:30 and 1:36
+ttmaggebo Cheers
Yea! No one got hurt cause he didn't actually work it. He used a simulator
Do you think a supervisor would let a TV show host Do that? His ticket is on the line
"thirty one" had me cringing every single time it was said
why? what does it mean
Because it is meant to be read as "three one" and not "thirty one".
lol same
Sadev Abeyrathne I see. Thanks.
Is there any reason why?
BartTibia That is to avoid any confusions. An example is "13" and "30" where "thirteen" and "thirty" sounds similar and can be confused.
Oh my gosh, Kennedy Steve is in the tower! Added bonus!
1:31 is Steve I believe.
I came to watch Steve work hahahah
Yup, looks like Kennedy Steve !!
so cool 8)
Brett Carson no way is it actually?
Edfromchowderheads Yeah! That's 100% Steve.
What an awesome job! I'm glad and appreciative that we have such great people working ATC all over our country.
Yeah props to them all.
I wanna be a pilot, an air traffic control and an air crash investigator! This man did great, I'm not sure many people can do that on their first day.
i trained as an atc.. man i cant do it.. i passed the course ,,but hated every second of it..
ive fought in a hundred battles , built roads , bridges, dams, offshore paltforms, nuke plants, etc,,,, in every desert and jungle in the world..
thats still the toughest job ive ever seen
johnny llooddte does the us accept UK diploma in aviation ? And how long does the course take to be complete in the States??
@@belindadixon3941 I think you need a whole associates degree.
Take the ATSA@@belindadixon3941
1:51 - awkward touching.
A million " thank You[s]" to the today show for highlighting these Civil servants who work very hard and posses a unique skill. The weather changed and the visibility went down but they continued to process traffic,
Congratulations
At 0:38 I love how they have an AED ready just in case someone has a heart attack from all of the stress!
I work as a Train Controller and we have an AED in our room
Omfg...I could never ever do that job! These guys deserve every penny they get!!
He used the button on his desk to lock the other controllers outside when he felt confident enough to go solo.
That plane that took off someone said hey it's Matt Lauer.
Kennedy Steve, the man!!!! 👍👍
He should have interviewed Kennedy Steve.
Thanks. Now i know what my hopefully future job will be like
This job most be be very stressful. But i love the job when i can do it.
Good job Matt
Fun fact: Boston Center which comprises New England's ATC is actually HQ'd in southern NH.
1:32 Kennedy Steve!!!
You can hear this on the St. Maarten one. It's called Maho Beach Cam & its right on the runway. At the top you can turn on the Mic and the ATC plus a has a map below showing all the planes in the Caribbean. It's pretty busy. Not like NY, but you'll get a taste of how busy it gets even for a small island dealing with all the Caribbean traffic.
In 1978 I bought my first scanner and got an aviation high altitude map to try and spot high altitude planes and it took a while to figure out the lingo with no help. But I did it. I than (before 9/11) got to visist the Washington Center in Leesburg and saw the radar screen handling the flight area above my home. I than also got to go up into the KPHL Tower. The controllers do great job, and so do the pilots and all the people that keep the plane flying. aviation is a fascinating industry. We today take for granted that Ben Franklin would be astonished at.
I have had dreams of working in a busy control tower too. But that time has passed. I have to think of something else now. Thumps up to all those hard working guys up in the 'crows nest'.
I saw Kennedy Steve. He is hilarious but an absolute professional.
The moment when I though the wall where he checked his security pass was a door 😂
I am an avgeek. The “thirty-one” was killing me...IT’S “three-one”!!
Dave Siewert was a supervisor with me at Albany Tower NY when I came aboard!
Impressive.
Simulation is great, I was trained the old fashioned way, live traffic OJT. Worked JFK, LGA in the 70s. The NYC Area has some of the best in the business
1:31 Kennedy Steve special cameo
Matt Lauer has the BEST agent in the world!
Kudos to these men. There has to be some kind of orderly way how this is done but to me it will always be a mystery.
No one got hurt?! Will it is a sim!!!
I know who got hurt. All those woman he harassed on the today show.
I'm going to be an ATC when I grow up.
Best of luck to you!! It's a tough job. I'm a pilot and I have a ton of respect for ATC.
welcome to the team :)
Im 21 and im considering it but Im very forgetful and I fear I might cause multiple major accidents if I pursue it.
YoungFly Prince Well, as long as Jane does not die, you're good.
You won't make it through training if that's the case. There are multiple PVs you have to pass at the FAA academy before even going to your assigned facility ... and even then you will be training and learning airspace for quite a while ... and you won't be talking to airplanes until you're ready.
Crazy that they still have paper strips. It's all digitized now in Canada - and when they hand off flights from controller to controller the strip just gets sent from screen to screen!
...and when you lose power?
Backup generator(s)? In the US if they lost power their radios would still go down
Davis Byer I'm not talking about radios. I'm talking about computers and radar.
You actually don't know that important facilities such as air traffic control have mulitiple redundencies for power failures?
I hope he got to meet Kennedy Steve
AvGeek201 he was in the video at 1:30
Matt Lauer does real work
vodkacannon - Simulated real work.
Was taking a career test at school today and this is the job I got, seems interesting.
The pay must be pretty good, otherwise who would do it? Hats off to them!
C. Lassard it pays 125k
I would love to have that ATC simulator in my home.
Who clicked on this just to catch a glimpse of Kennedy Steve?
im curious to see what it sounds like when the holidays come along
Very interesting
I'm currently doing the training in NL Canada , Gander international . A middle size airport pays nearly 160k a year .. I can't imaging how much these guys are getting !
In NYC it’s starts at 35K a year and works up to over 120K a year that’s according to Glassdoor.
How is the training there. What does it take to certify?
I love flight and pilot
I hope he's a better controller than a journalist.
I just wanted to come for Steve.
Nice job.
Great job Matt you would be a air traffic control towers person
That was cool...
Lauer in the Tower... I imagine the group of people high fiving after coming up with that and rightfully so.
I came here to see Kennedy Steve. I... wasn't disappointed, but I'd rather have seen more Steve.
Wow Tnx bro good business ok thanks brother good
Kennedy Steve!!
A tower manager in the cab??? Haha
5:44 - 5:48 Savannah Guthrie said There Like Is That Matt Lauer? Love the show first time the Call to us.
The guys face when he told him 56 and you are out lol
Tbh this looks fun.
Flash forward, Ole Matti Boy was a bad bad boy
matt lauer is a cool dude!
Did he fondle one of the controllers ?
Probably that girl in the dress.
avgeeks are cringing rn
AvGeek here - I would pay a lot of money to do some hours in 'the Sim'
oh yea me too
Not cringing, it's his first time doing it. At a time all of us were like that, whether you play FSX/P3D or you're an aviator/controller in real life.
Thomas Zottos Oh ya
Thomas Zottos Corvallis yup, me
The video doesn't show him asking which of the buttons there will lock the door.
Lauer is not in the Tower anymore....
Loves control.
where is Kennedy Steve??
Sounds like my job as a teacher.
*Thirty-one Right* LOL
Can someone please tell me how I might be able to get a tour of Kennedy? Do they even do tours anymore?
Im gonna do this job
Traffic controllers r grt
I was hoping to see Deltah Tugh TWOOO
y2n610 or jetbluuuuueeee tug twoooooooo :D
LOUIE LLUSTRISSIMO WORKED FOR THE AIRCRAFT STUFF. I WORKED FOR CEBU PACIFIC AIR ZAMBOANGA AND UNITED AIRLINES :)
I can't believe they are still using paper strips.
why? its easy, reliable, fool proof... the pros go on and on
Here in the UK all the major airports are using electronic flight strip systems. Saves a lot of controller workload (no handovers required) and replays are available in the event of an incident.
Nick B. NATS is private sector. FAA is government... we are broke... smaller budget
The aviation industry, in the US at least, is decades behind the rest of the world in every aspect. It's pretty sad.
Computers fail, paper doesn't! Simple, when dealing with 300 lives on a plane that needs to land, you can't count on a computer cooperating. Paper never fails, you write it down and can still refer to it in a power outage.
In initial training, 1984 in OKC at MMAC, I would get busted for that phraseology. 5 points if I remember correctly. A SEP was 15 and heartbreaking. The Tulsa Ulcer!
put him on approach and see how stressful it is.
Approach? Nah ground is the hardest by FAR!
paper is the last chance backup.. if everything else goes wrong
1:30 there is the famous Kennedy Steve!
I can't watch Matt Lauer or the Today Show, I feel I lose brain cells and common sense when I do.
If he wasn't doing dumbed down TV, nobody would watch.
yessss that's why he jumped into journalism. because into real jobs needs brain and balls.
he is doing now what already happened to him waaaybefore... burning brains cells. : )
the dude made $25 million a year, if that isn't a real job then idk what is
Craig Arndt especially now after he was fired lol
This comment aged well
Ohh my god that's why its so hard to enter this kind of job because your manage thousands of lives
Exactly.
is that Kennedy Steve at 1:31?! dear lord!
Yup and he looks as upset with the tugs as ever 😂
1:31 KENNEDY STEVE 😎 !!!!!!
It's a simulator. That's incredible.
I knew the French top man in Air Traffic Control in Paris (he hires, etc, trains, ) and he said, "I ONLY hire at 21 and not past 24...." wow....he said "After 25, the start to slow down"
Yup there's Kennedy Steve 1:30.
EDIT: 4:44, I would love to go right next to the active RWY, stay there and take some vids.
Great Clip...but here in Europe that would be a very big *NO NO* standing outside on the manouvering area without any kind of mandatory reflecting airport safety vests..!
(Around 4:40)...and is that guy with moustache from FAA..?
My dream job to work in ATC
Somebody needs to confirm they got that access card back from Matt Lauer. He be creepin.
He didnt know what he was doing and he added too many words..I was up in EWR tower once, amazing operation
You were in air traffic controller at Newark?
