this video almost makes me cry, i wish i could get some air time, am 25 with cerebral palsy, have fs9 and fsx , i've flown every plane i can dream of in the sim, yet i have never been in a real aircraft. if i could get at least an hour in the air before i die i would be so grateful
The crash at 7.42 was actually something of a success. This plane could only be guided using the throttles and 2/3 of the passengers survived an unsurvivable situation and an impossible landing.
What the **ck were 62 people looking at to dislike this video? This is just beautiful. On my lists of favorites. Just gives me a wings fix when I need it. The crabbed landings at the beginning are my favorite. But video just owns ..
defendly one of the best aviation videos on youtube :) - i remember seeing this vid on youtube 5 years ago, somehow i was reminded today and saw it again - never disapoints - nice one man :)
It depends on what you mean by "worst" airline. Worst for what? Safety? Comfort? Reliability?
I'm sure there are official records for all airlines regarding safety and reliability. Those are objective, measurable qualities.
As for "comfort", that is subjective. But, personally Ryanair is the WORST airline I've flown as far as comfort goes. Their seats don't even recline, for Christ's sake!! Even a bus has seats that recline!!!
@napolithecalabrese Where's 9/11? Hey asshole, do you think the event's of September 11, 2001 or for that matter, the death of any human beeing, is some form of entertainment???
It may not be a matter of entertainment but it definately should be on a video called "Best and worst of aviation". We can't just go on pretending it never happened! We have to acknowledge it.
HAHA, Flyboy told you! I read all the comments, didn't watch the video. U sound like an asshole arguing for no good reason. If you are going to argue, maybe u should carry a dictionary with you so you know what others are actually saying and not use your own interpretation based on what you think words mean.
I systematically skip aircraft videos that are accompanied by stupid music, whether it is classical or heavy metal or anything... The best music is the engines sound !...
If you are a pilot one thing you quickly realize is it's easy to imagine your top gun antics on the ground but once you are in the air things are a bit more serious...

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that flyboy127r meant best and worst flights! There was a B-52 crash in the video, and the B-52's have been in use for almost 60 years. I doubt the Air Force would keep them if they were so bad. Nice video!
The jury is still out on how the Hindenburg disaster occurred. There's a good reason the Hindenburg was one of the worst (In my opinion) - and it's not necessarily because of the incomparable loss of life with some modern jet disasters (Tenerife for example). The reason the Hindenburg is in this video is because it is to this day, the largest flying object ever made by man. It is a full three times longer than the Antonov An225.
@flyboy172r It is the longest, but they said it had a hydrogen explosion cause that stuff is very flammable. Once it caught fire there's no hope for an airship made of fabric and aluminum, so it went up in flames and sunk to the ground and then kind of melted on itself. I personally don't like seeing that thing because it wore the Nazi flag and the ship itself deserved to go down for that, but the passengers did not deserve to die with it. It was pretty horrible I can imagine.
Filling it with hydrogen instead of helium (even if the supply was cut off) makes it a strong contender for the worst in my books... they should have shelved it until the situation changed.
That's almost as dumb as fueling rally cars with nitroglycerin.
majority of the clip was about the good only the last few minutes had the bad, if you're showing the bad and the good of aviation the clip should have equal amount of bad and goods
Excellent video... especially the ending clips. As a pilot, it is always a good thing to be reminded that our margins for error are sometimes slim to none
Oh no...Not another one of those wowsers. Tell me, are you the sort of person who enjoys meat, but doesn't want to know it either once came from an animal or it had been slaughtered for your enjoyment? A plane crash, along with loss of life, will always be the dark side of flying. It is both naive and plain ridiculous to either ignore that fact, or find it inappropriate for someone to bring it up.
Sorry do be disapointing, but I'm a hunter myself so I know what it is like to take life. But you are right that I like to eat meat from time to time.
Nevertheless death is of course part of every life, as everybody will die finalley. But does that make a brutal act of human death less horrible? It isn't much about death in aviation itself to me, it's the way it is shown with some cozy music, to watch in your cozy home.
But to stay on the populist side: do you like to watch people die?
It's not about enjoyment...I'm a pilot. I would say a good 50% of my training is the actual act of learning the art of flying. The other half is training to deal with the eventuality of a mishap/disaster. A lot of the crashes which were pictured in the final few minutes of the video were disasters that I have personally studied as a University student, studying Aviation. I don't personally enjoy watching loss of life, but instead I learn from it.
I absolutely agreed. Learing from the loss of life (a very flowery language I admit) is always the best thing do draw from a tragedy you can not avoid anymore. That's what NTSB-bulletins are for.
In this case though I can not see an actual conclusion to be drawn from the video. Is it that death is part of aviation? I don't think so. Is it that death is part of the fascinaton of aviation? I hope it's not that way.
The only intention I could see was entertainment and I didn't like that.
Again Ill throw in the term 'naive'. You just cannot simply assume that you will be 100% safe in life. Any destructive force either in nature or in human fallibility has the ability to bring down a plane. Now this statistically is about as likely as you getting a Royal Flush playing poker four times in a row. That's not withstanding however, the eventuality is still there. This video is not entertainment to me, merely informative. Personally, people who watch can take it any way they please.
As I already said before my scepticism is not about the act of dying as that is part of life. It is about the way of showing the violent death of people in an entertaining way.
So you are trying to tell me that you are drawing some information from that video? Which kind of information is that? Sorry but if you are a pilot and see things in this video you didn't know before I hope you don't have a ATPL.
Why not post the video of an excecution for purposes of information on dying?
@flyboy172r "Mishaps/Disasters" are not an "eventuality", they are a possibility. And if you don't do everything that is possible to avert that possibility from becoming a reality, or you consider that possibility as an unavoidable and therefore acceptable risk, then you should not be allowed (nor do you deserve) to have anything to do with the business of flying.
Now hold on a minute, you seem to be missing my point entirely! What I'm trying to say is that if people have a respect for the machine and the mechanism of aviation, as well as the inherent (yet statistically unlikely) risk that flying poses, then IF an incident DOES occur, pilots will be perfectly equipped to deal with it safely and rationally. You seem to suggest that I believe these incidents to unavoidable, which is actually the OPPOSITE of what I was suggesting!
@flyboy172r Why is it that every criticism you receive is rebutted by you stating that the other person doesn't understand your meaning or you lobbing-out some idiotic and irrelevant ad hominem?
You used the word "eventuality" twice when referring to the possibility of an incident/disaster while operating an aircraft. The rest of the content and tone of your posts backed-up the idea that you regard "disasters" as an unavoidable part of flying. Your point was very clear!
In the 4 years (Not all that long) I've been learning to fly, I've personally suffered an alternator failure at 9500' over water, a PFD failure during NVFR and a close friend has even suffered a full engine failure in a single engine Warrior. And you need to go and check your definition of 'eventuality', last I checked it did actually mean possibility! In any of my posts, I have never stated that I believe incidents to be unavoidable! Seriously, what’s your problem??
@flyboy172r Last I checked, "eventuality" referred not to a simple "possibility" (which is something that MAY happen) but to a possibility that is expected to occur. Not as final as a "certainty" but regarded with the same level of expectation. If you have done every thing that is possible to do to avoid a component failure then you have no reason to regard the failure as an "eventuality"
@ZWILD1 I agree with ZWILD1. Flyboy172r needs to suck it up when wrong. No pilot expects to eventually crash or have an aviation incident of any sort, but the probability is always there.
@TheTemest You've made it obvious that the extent of your intellect is overextended by your desire to participate in discussions which you cannot understand and to which you have nothing to add.
Perhaps it is you who needs to learn when to shut his festering gob.
@TheTemest If you had even the slightest glimmer of intelligence about you, you would have realized that neither of the participants of the subject discussion had participated in it for more than a month. That would indicate the discussion might have been at it's end (the thing you claim to encourage) and that only an ill-thought comment by an oafish buffoon (that's you) would re-open the debate.
Congratulations, you've made it to #83 on the list of Today's Top 100 .Dumbasses.
@phasilian Why think of it as highlighting, its an aviation best and worst. Obviously you are a negative nancy, hes not highlighting its commemorating
@phasilian Your quote "It isn't much about death in aviation itself to me, it's the way it is shown with some cozy music, to watch in your cozy home." soo your opinion is you don't like the cozy music? tell me what music would you like.... even better mute the computer and play your own music and get in an uncomfortable position:) Wow that was a simple solution
you misunderstood me, of course it's owned by the usaf, the pilot's the same on the desaster at the airbase, go and look for the article, the low pass is also mentioned
LOL, I love the original video of the Harrier at 6:20. The guy is like "THIS time I'm not gonna look back! Not gonna flinch!". Then ZZOOOOOOMMMMM, and he shits his pants. And rightly so. I always thought it was wierd when I was a kid and people would try and make each other flinch by startling them...I always figured it was a GOOD thing to have relexes. If you don't jump at a Harrier coming in behine you at 500MPH and 20ft, then you'd better be careful crossing the road.
This is great. Is there any chance of making a video for Houdini's flight? Australia's centenary of flight is coming up in March 2010 and would be terrific if we had something like this.
at 2:01 why do pilots do that come in sideways move but then land straight? I guess whats the purpose of it? I see local pilots practicing it all the time....and 4:55 i think i would have shit myself, but the poring the drink trick right after was awesome!
@yes333yes When there is a strong crosswind that is how you have to land. You have to turn into the wind to fly straight and then use the rudder to straighten out the plane before touching down.
Nice thanks man! i thought it had something to do with wind conditions but that was just a guess, thanks for breaking it down, definitely appreciated!
I agree; the woman at 3:10 is a beauty. Not just physically, but because she's a pilot. Anyone know her name so I can futily ask her to marry me? Reminds me of Hanna Reitsch a bit. It sounds bad literally, but women with balls are just hot.
I would have preferred NO music. Generally music tends to ruin videos like this. It's not a professionally put together drama with a studio score, so just use whatever audio there already is. And if you have some expertise regarding the content, add your commentary so that we can all benefit.
It's not disrepectful to show crashes on a video like this, as long as it's not a joke or something. It's important to remind people of the darker side of flying; flying is and always will be dangerous. Humans just don't belong in the air. There is a video on YouTube called "Airplane Bloopers", which is nothing but a collection of crashes. most of them fatal. I can assure you that the comments that the poster has recieved regarding the title are not very friendly. He still hasn't renamed it.

@ZWILD1
In the 4 years (Not all that long) I've been learning to fly, I've personally suffered an alternator failure at 9500' over water, a PFD failure during NVFR and a close friend has even suffered a full engine failure in a single engine Warrior. And you need to go and check your definition of 'eventuality', last I checked it did actually mean possibility! In any of my posts, I have never stated that I believe incidents to be unavoidable! Seriously, what’s your problem??
flyboy172r 1 year ago
@flyboy172r Last I checked, "eventuality" referred not to a simple "possibility" (which is something that MAY happen) but to a possibility that is expected to occur. Not as final as a "certainty" but regarded with the same level of expectation. If you have done every thing that is possible to do to avoid a component failure then you have no reason to regard the failure as an "eventuality"

Fuck I hate arguing semantics....From the Oxford English dictionary:
EVENTUALITY, from the Latin “ēventu”, originating in the 17th century, and meaning: a possible event or outcome.
Synonyms: Possibility, chance, prospect.
Note no referance to or infernce of accidents being PROBABLE. (An event with an expectation to occur).
Now you seem to have interpreted my personal opinion incorrectly, that’s not my problem. But can you please stop fucking arguing with me?

@ZWILD1 I agree with ZWILD1. Flyboy172r needs to suck it up when wrong. No pilot expects to eventually crash or have an aviation incident of any sort, but the probability is always there.

@ZWILD1 We understand what flyboy is saying. Isn't it enough just to enjoy a good compilation of videos and leave it at that . Just shut the fuck up.

@TheTemest You've made it obvious that the extent of your intellect is overextended by your desire to participate in discussions which you cannot understand and to which you have nothing to add.
Perhaps it is you who needs to learn when to shut his festering gob.
ZWILD1 1 year ago
@TheTemest If you had even the slightest glimmer of intelligence about you, you would have realized that neither of the participants of the subject discussion had participated in it for more than a month. That would indicate the discussion might have been at it's end (the thing you claim to encourage) and that only an ill-thought comment by an oafish buffoon (that's you) would re-open the debate.
Congratulations, you've made it to #83 on the list of Today's Top 100 .Dumbasses.

@phasilian Why think of it as highlighting, its an aviation best and worst. Obviously you are a negative nancy, hes not highlighting its commemorating

Of course! You have to be if you say what you think and after doing so refuse to step back into the line of oppinons others would like you to have.
Can't just be someone with another oppionion...
I never said anyone has to share my thoughts on any topic, but it seems to be a very harsh thing to ask for the same.
Anyway. Have a good day Sir.

@phasilian Your quote "It isn't much about death in aviation itself to me, it's the way it is shown with some cozy music, to watch in your cozy home." soo your opinion is you don't like the cozy music? tell me what music would you like.... even better mute the computer and play your own music and get in an uncomfortable position:) Wow that was a simple solution

LOL, I love the original video of the Harrier at 6:20. The guy is like "THIS time I'm not gonna look back! Not gonna flinch!". Then ZZOOOOOOMMMMM, and he shits his pants. And rightly so. I always thought it was wierd when I was a kid and people would try and make each other flinch by startling them...I always figured it was a GOOD thing to have relexes. If you don't jump at a Harrier coming in behine you at 500MPH and 20ft, then you'd better be careful crossing the road.

at 2:01 why do pilots do that come in sideways move but then land straight? I guess whats the purpose of it? I see local pilots practicing it all the time....and 4:55 i think i would have shit myself, but the poring the drink trick right after was awesome!
yes333yes 2 years ago
@yes333yes When there is a strong crosswind that is how you have to land. You have to turn into the wind to fly straight and then use the rudder to straighten out the plane before touching down.

I agree; the woman at 3:10 is a beauty. Not just physically, but because she's a pilot. Anyone know her name so I can futily ask her to marry me? Reminds me of Hanna Reitsch a bit. It sounds bad literally, but women with balls are just hot.

I would have preferred NO music. Generally music tends to ruin videos like this. It's not a professionally put together drama with a studio score, so just use whatever audio there already is. And if you have some expertise regarding the content, add your commentary so that we can all benefit.

marco3252626 2 years ago
It's not disrepectful to show crashes on a video like this, as long as it's not a joke or something. It's important to remind people of the darker side of flying; flying is and always will be dangerous. Humans just don't belong in the air. There is a video on YouTube called "Airplane Bloopers", which is nothing but a collection of crashes. most of them fatal. I can assure you that the comments that the poster has recieved regarding the title are not very friendly. He still hasn't renamed it.
