747 Close Flyby, Sears Tower Chicago, CN Tower Toronto

[Quentin77170]

Something was on fire, right ?

[Nemesis000000]

It's amazing how much Toronto has changed since 2000, now there would be like 50 huge condo towers all around that area

[AccessDenied55]

You couldnt do this anymore..

[NJAv8or]

This is amazing sound quality.

[snoloflo]

nothing to worry about. 1000 ft below is completely fine and is a correct method of maintaining different altitudes between different planes. xD

[fanofzimmertwins]

Werid. If your going from Toronto-Montreal why was the a flyby in Chicago when its montreal is in east and Chicago is in west?

[californianights]

26 people never got into a plane. :D

[fanofzimmertwins]

I think its frog

[phillyslasher]

What year is this?

[dicamils]

January 2000

[HelloHansSolo]

@dicamils Fuck you donkey dick cunt bitch motherfucking asshole!

[MissChelseaBoBo]

Going through Chicago in an airplane is rough. All that wind!

[Dillon1108]

0:53: PROOF THAT "CHEMTRAILS" DON'T EXIST. CONTRAILS ARE JUST WATER VAPOR.

[117Glitchmaster]

@Dillon1108 Chemtrails stay for a few hours. Contrails stay for about 20 seconds

[ThePlaceAndTime]

What was all the smoke in that city?

[bobbibui]

Oh so you were the terrorist that destriyed the sears tower. Right?

[Black666Blub]

Your camera has asthma, bring it to the docter man!

[gowill2]

you actually werent very close at all lol.

[mrsuperhowto]

hello it is a good video

[StanleyKu]

Good footage. I saw something similar when I was in a plane coming into Seattle from Germany years ago.

[heroknaderi]

yeah

[vyrgo84]

one of the best videos!!

[michaeljess99]

Is there Fire!?

[bosnagurl1234]

Dear Dicamils, this is a great video, im afraid to go up in a plane but its a fastest way to travel, me and my dad went to croatia for a vaca in summer 2009, i hate the planes from a state to chicago or some other place, those mini jets, my dad told me it was no use to cry about a plane going 36,000 feet in the air, were going to survive these pilots are well trained.... well thats all i gotta say :D

~please reply (:~

[dicamils]

you have more chance to die on the drive to the airport than in the airplane you are going to take....

[bosnagurl1234]

@dicamils I agree, my dad said that person is right, haha :D

[donnyab]

@dicamils

you're wrong actually.

[lukuleleLOL]

@dicamils have you ever heard of 9/11

[4crevis]

@bosnagurl1234 You've got nothing to worry about, safest means of travel! Look how much space you have to fly around in! Modern aircraft are extremely reliable, computers take care of most of the flying, in the exeptionally rare event that ATC Air Traffic Control fails they have a system in place called TCAS Traffic Collision Aviodance System that sounds a warning should you fly too close to other aircraft, this tells the pilot which direction to fly to avoid a collision. Go for it enjoy!

[bosnagurl1234]

@4crevis I went to Australia about 4 months ago.. and the plane ride was very long :/ but we survived! I'm glad we did.. thank god! :D

it was fun.. thanks for you're info.. i don't know much of that because im pretty young.. :l

[Zonomar]

I want to bail out with a parachute right here :)

[legotiger23]

So i herd u leik geography.

[hapciupalit]

yeah, that'a a 7 mile close flyby L-)

[southpaw7890]

Thats pretty damm close

[Hypsan]

Talk about a plethora of Kodak Moments!! The soundtrack, though possibly not as intended, is a bit of a distraction from the breath-taking scenery. The low clouds/fog really helped to add scale and heighth to the cityscape! An all-around lucky weather day for a landing at O'Hare. Thanks for sharing!

[AVIATIO]

If terrorists ever knock this building down, I shall rip their fucking dicks off by myself.

[checkfoldcallraise]

wow the closest i've ever seen in my travels was a plane about a mile away. this was really scary looking. nice shot of the city buildings. i like to drive through cities like that, with all the tall buildings but would hate to live there.

[varigdc10]

That was a 747-400 ANA ( All Nippon Airways ) Japan.

[dicamils]

Thanks. I thought the 747 looked familiar as I had flown on Japan Air Lines (JAL)

[SuperGilles27]

 Ahh ..BFD ! pan am flight was my dad on KLA/Pan Am..you can here his voice saying..."that crazy son a bitch!"asshole from KLM killed over 500 peoples..

[futerflash2]

hahah my hometown :P ive seen it many times from boing and airbus :)

[tedtug]

excellent vid!!

[acrttdriver]

Whats with the Atari like sound effects?

[dicamils]

It's the camera that records audio that way when exposed to the sounds inside the cabin. The rest of the time, the camera was perfect.

[kmelalzate]

@acrttdriver jejeje, before to read your comment i thought the same, the first thing was, oh is that a 2600 console video?

[richardxx9011]

@acrttdriver odyssey's better

[heffo888]

@acrttdriver It sounds like the game COMBAT! lol

[goheadb]

@acrttdriver LOL!! COMBAT

[101andrewj]

what america.... cn tower in toronto is 50m taller then anything you got

[jed2j]

@101andrewj yeah, if you're talking bout post-9/11...

[101andrewj]

@jed2j the trade centers wer not taller then the cn tower

[lttlman2013]

@jed2j it was A LOT taller than the WTCs

[Mattm1986]

@101andrewj

yeah, but its not a building. its a communications tower. besides dubai has the tallest building in the world now anyway.

[101andrewj]

@Mattm1986 @Mattm1986 yeah i know of that giant in duabi... but still who cares what they classify the CN tower as.... all that matters to me is it is free standing... and 553M tall, right now it is the tallest built structure in the americas.. and the 2nd tallest in the world, also the highest public obervation deck on the cn tower is about 450m high, it is higher then burj duabis 108th floor top observation deck, the tallest parts of the building the public will never be able to see, go canada

[Mattm1986]

@101andrewj

Actually the tallest structure in the americas is the KVLY-TV mast in Blanchard, Traill County, North Dakota. So, HAHAHA. America Fuck yeah. lol

[101andrewj]

@Mattm1986 that shit aint free standing shithead... and the cn tower has places to eat and view from... that garbage in north dakota is just a radio tower held up by wires...

[Mattm1986]

@101andrewj

Never said it was freestanding, shithead. we were having a civilized conversation, and leave it to the canuck to start getting defensive and calling people names. Ive been to toronto i know what th CN tower has. it also has bathrooms and i shit on the floor while i was there. It was so much more satisfying knowing a canadian was going to be cleaning up american shit. Fuck off and die pussy. maybe you can jump from your gay ass tower.

[101andrewj]

@Mattm1986 just cuz i choose to use a few "bad" words doesnt mean that this convo is no longer civilized.... and i would jump from the cn tower... but somebody has already done it so it wouldnt be very original.. my point from the beginning has been that the cn tower is a solid concrete structure that is free standing... and that radio tower is a bunch of metal polls being held up by strings

[Mattm1986]

@101andrewj

cool story, bro

[lttlman2013]

@Mattm1986 The station you're talking about is most notable for using the third tallest above-ground structure in the world for broadcasting its signal.

[Mattm1986]

@lttlman2013

I wans't talking about free standing, so fucking pay attention. In 1963, it was the tallest structure ever built until succeeded by the Warsaw radio mast in 1970; that mast collapsed in 1991, making the KVLY-TV again the tallest structure in the world until the Burj Khalifa overtook it in 2008. It remains the second tallest structure in the world. It is a guyed mast, not a self-supporting structure, and is therefore not included in lists of tallest buildings. Now please, fuck off.

[lttlman2013]

@Mattm1986 cover my ears? oh cause i can hear what you're saying?

[lttlman2013]

@Mattm1986 i'll be the bigger man and let the toddler keep talking

[Mattm1986]

@lttlman2013

LMFAO! Yeah, Ok little man.

[Mattm1986]

@lttlman2013

The KVLY-TV mast is 2,063 ft. The CN Tower is 1,815 ft. Look it up next time before you call someone a fucking idiot, you fucking douche bag.

[lttlman2013]

@Mattm1986 you're still wrong but its ok, im done

[Mattm1986]

@lttlman2013

You're done? You're the one who replied to MY 6 month old message, and now that you've seen the numbers and heard the facts you want to cover your ears and run away? Ok. Keep on telling yourself you're right and your delusional mind might actually start to believe it.

[lttlman2013]

@Mattm1986 yep. im littleman, thats my nickname b/c im shorter than everyone on my hockey team

[Mattm1986]

@lttlman2013

Cool story, bro. I just think its ironic how you say you're going to be the bigger man when you started it by calling me a fucking idiot on a comment of mine that was 6 months old. If you were the bigger man you wouldn't have felt the need to start shit with someone you don't know over something you didn't understand. And on top of all that you're are literally a little man, LOL. Peace out, douche.

[lttlman2013]

@Mattm1986 delusional? man you got me! you know me, you internet tough guy! man calling me delusional and a fucking douchebag, man what am i going to do? i responded to your original comment, b/c you were wrong, and STILL are wrong. the CN tower is the tallest free standing structure in the west. and 2nd in the world. idrgaf about the KVLY-TV thing, b/c it isnt free standing

[Mattm1986]

@lttlman2013

"idrgaf about the KVLY-TV thing, b/c it isnt free standing"

Just because you don't give a fuck about it doesn't mean its not taller than the CN Tower.

"i responded to your original comment, b/c you were wrong"

No, you responded to my second comment from the conversation I was having with 101andrewj, and if you had bothered to read my third comment you would have seen it start with "Never said it was freestanding". I had to tell him the same thing I'm telling you. Now FUCK OFF!

[cr90147]

tht wass such a good shot of the 747

[mmmbad]

Great view!  Thanks for posting!

[qawsqnick1]

i was on a PLANE AND I SAW A RAINBOW NEXT TO THE SEARS TOWER

[ELtercermundista82]

I've been to both toronto and chicago

[pettyofficer30]

This is a normal flight near the sears tower....

[CunardProductions94]

Great Pollution in Chicago.

[201andrew]

either its a lot of passengers . i live in chicago

[Airportchris2]

Gotta love them chem trails at 0:52.

[theedbarnes]

awesome video man, i really want to go to chicago.

[peacepalace]

That must have been a little scary seeing the 747 that close to you...

[dicamils]

Sent shivers down my spine first time I saw that. Everyone else was comfortably watching movies.

[MrCars]

how did u get such a plane a short flight like that.

[dicamils]

I was looking for planes flying parallel to us in our designated corridor but in the opposite direction until I saw this plane getting closer and flying toward us.

[MrCars]

i meant the plane you were on. usually a flight like that uses an embraer

[dicamils]

MD-11 or something like that for over 20 years Montreal to Chicago and vice versa. Never a propeller flight.

[phileustace]

use a zoom lens. How else.

[mathan14]

veeeerry nice work(5*)

how long was flight??^^

[dicamils]

Chicago non-stop to Montreal on AA is about 1.5 to 2 hours.

[rwill11787]

You got Toronto too. NICE

[rwill11787]

Dude this Vid is sweet. I liked how you zoomed in on the Sears Tower then backed out to view the whole Chicago Skyline right off Lake Micigan. Very nice camara work man.
