  • personally... turbulance scares the shit out of me... its not fun being in a 2-3 ton plane thats shaking around at 10,000-30,000 feet

  • @BAMITsJACOB i get a little creeped out and say oh crap i remember 1 time a kinda of hard turbulence

  • This level of turbulence (probably considered heavy for the short time in the video) feels much worse than it is for the plane, which is incredibly strong. It would require an order of magnitude more wing flex to cause any structural concern.

  • once i was coming back home to chicago from maui hawaii and when we were in the middle of the pacific the plane had turbulance it kinda dropped like it was falling for a second there was a bad storm u can see the lightining passing the window it was kinda like bioshock lol

  • this is nothing to what i experienced in LAN(peruvian airline) the airplane suddenly made a landing noise and three hours were still left, and i was like WTF? we r here so early? den everybody in the plane jumped liked 4 feet into the air! and people were like OMG! WERE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the worst part was that i wasnt wearing a seat belt and that scared to shit outta me

  • never seen b 737 with screen ,, !

    it's a boring airplane to be on !

  • @Weetles: Completely agree. The most turbulent flight I've ever been on was an American Airlines flight from Oklahoma City to Dallas in July. It's only a 35-minute flight, but drinks were hitting the ceiling and overhead compartments were flying open. Very glad to get on the ground that day. Nobody had to be reminded to obey the fasten seat belts sign.

  • Because u went over the mountains....

  • If you think that is turbulent I invite you to come fly with me in south Texas during the summer in my 172. THAT is real turbulence. (Although I do enjoy being on bumpy commercial flights and watching everyone around me turn green)

  • o yeee! camera shake! ,,turbulence,,

  • Make those wings CLAP!

  • that's not turbulence, i saw turbulence over the Indian Ocean as a flight attendant.  The wings were practically flapping.......

  • boring...., that isn't turbulance, more like a bump in the road.

  • I wouldnt want to be on that flight

  • Ever been using the toilet during turbulance?? When the plane drops, you stand up involuntarily and the contents of your bladder goes everywhere!

  • you should see me flying a pa38 15knots gusts feels like this shit but u dont give a dam ur just trying to fly

  • how did you not die, that was some pretty bad turbulence....

  • It's not turbulence until everyone (including yourself) has expelled bodily fluids from one or both ends and bodies are flying up and down the aisles.

  • the hell? The 737 I was on didn't have tv's in the seats.

  • So....you hit a mountain wave on approach to yyc....how rare...

  • It was like that when I came home from Japan

    I flew into Honolulu

  • i hate airplanes!

    

  • You don't know what turbulence is. Get back to me when your overhead bags land on you.

  • Can I see the video with the turbulence please?

  • i get turbulence on the aisle seat B)

  • they are going east and winds at that altitude frequently exceed 100mph

  • Look at the ceiling of a plane when going through severe turbulance , it zig zagz like crazy , and when looking straight ahead passengers heads look like doing a mexican wave ,

  • JCVdude is a DUD

  • Im sure  a Boeing 737 can hit 615 MPH if the pilots are running the engines @ full power

  • @Johnny64ism Did you not read my message. I am an aircraft engineer, and 737's do not go that fast. If they did, it wouldn't be long before the fuselage breaks up. Hey did you know that the speed of sound is at 768 mph. Duh???

  • @rock853okg The 615mph would only be the windspeed velocity, wouldn't it? The turbulance may have been caused by a 100mph headwind which means that the true speed of the aircraft is less. For an accurate calculation of the aircrafts true speed, air pressures and temperatures also have to be taken into account, do they not?

  • @muzomanoz the 615 mph is the ground speed.

  • what even causes turbulance? strong gusts of wind?? idk, what?

  • I thought that the top speed of a B 737 was like around 520 mph. How did they go that fast. Even in a tail wind i don't think it could go 615 mph. Either this is a bullshitter which i think is the case. I may be wrong but i don't think so. At 615mph we are only about a little more than 100 mph to break sound barrier. Sound barrier at 768mph. The 737 was not designed to go 615 mph.

  • @rock853okg The max airspeed of the 737 range is mach .82 or approx 540mph Indicated airspeed (The speed of which the air is passing over the aircraft). The ground speed (Pretty obvious) can be much higher :)

  • what kind of 737 is this and what carrier, very nice

  • Plane smarts from a fricken' civil engineer.... Cut it out weirdo!

  • Only dangerous thing in turbulences mostly is... People are not seated and using belts, and luggages/other items may fly around.

  • WESTJET FTW

  • I get more turbulence than that on my toilet seat

  • @jhague89 LOOOOOL

  • @jhague89 craps

  • probably a bit of mountain wave going on there

  • I really don't understand why the don't have a parachute for each passenger in case of the engines going out. Too expensive?

  • @superearthbender first off with a pressurized cabin, opening any part of the plane would rapidly depressurize and could be catostrophic. second, trying to exit an aircraft at that speed would literally either rip your body apart, completely squish your insides or break just about every bone in your body. 3rd, people arent trained to properly use a parachute and would most likely panic and end up dying anyways!!!!!!

  • @f00lishkl0wn I realize the last portion, that's obvious.

    The problems you suppose seem like something fun to solve. I just put it on that they're lazy and stingy.

  • @superearthbender Because an airplane has wings and can still glide quite a long distance with it's engines out. At the height this airplane is flying, it could glide over 200km. Fuel starvation would be main cause for both engines to go out. They would notice it before.

  • For all those that do not know anything about engineering there is a thing called "Factor of safety" just look it up on wikipedia. These planes are fine, they can take a lot worse than that.

    "Factor of safety is a term describing the structural capacity of a system beyond the expected loads or actual loads."

  • @exotic444 Well spoken. You actually gave me goosebumps. Its truly a rare thing to see intelligence on youtube. 

  • *Looks to the person next to him who is clearly scared* "Don't worry, when the plane splits in two one half of the people on board will be sucked out and the other half will probably be in a big fiery ball of death and won't feel a thing. I bet we will be in the big fiery ball of death."

  • Never ever shout: "fire!". You know you have built panic after that. Not only panic, you will likely to be expelled, I assume.

  • @Janskleig Lol expelled at 30,000 feet no less

  • @rrr223 Haha, you what I meant. :)

  • Cripy

  • I would be shitting my pants, right about at 0:14 ....

  • I cruise

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a pilot myself, but goddamn airliners scare me. It's a control thing I think. Turbulence feels way different as a passenger than as a pilot. At least if I'm flying the thing I know how to react.

  • @LemonCrushMusic Feels mostly the same here I think, but then, you get a shoulder strap in the front seat at least :). I flew into severe turb. in a light once, and there is really only so much controlling one can do. The bumps around the rocky mountains can be quite intense depending on the weather.

  • @LemonCrushMusic hmmmm, can you provide the name of the airliner you work for? :)

  • @speedss60 Don't work for an airline??

  • @LemonCrushMusic what do you fly?

  • How the fuck the wings don't break?

  • @TAJIKROCKS Watch this video: /watch?v=BWwUTJM3jbA It shows some of the tests a plane has to go through before being certified to fly for airlines. What winds have to go through before the plane is. This video is a perfect example of what new planes have to go through before certification: /watch?v=Ai2HmvAXcU0

  • @wowdude999 Thanks a lot for the video. But if you type firefighter plane crash you will see how the wings fall off and its hard to understand the difference for me.

  • @TAJIKROCKS they are made of materials that can withstand the forces, they have to test the planes to see what they can withstand, they dont just make a plane and let it fly away.

  • @TAJIKROCKS Because they are designed for. FYI a plane taking turbulence is a SAFE plane, reacting SAFELY to direction changing winds. Atmosphere isn't calm air in a big bottle.

  • I live in Regina :)

  • Yeah, I've had worse than this; CASEVAC'd from Hong Kong to Brize Norton (via Bahrein) in '69 on a VC10 we had three hours of being thrown about - some of us bad injury cases - before landing at Brize. Similarly, on a recent flight to Toronto (A320) once we could see the cloud breaking over Nova Scotia all hell broke loose; even with the cabin properly secured,mayhem ensued to the point where overhead lockers opened and dropped bags on people, and OxO masks deployed - scary!

  • If you are into aircraft then you'll love my "Aircraft Guide" to light civil aircraft APP for Iphones and smartphones. Ful colour photos, specs -- even unit costs. Check out Itunes or Android.

  • I watched Mayday on a flight from Calgary to Montreal.

  • This is not even moderate turbulance...

  • @trooper744 Thats what I thought too, they obviously have never flown over India or the Pacific then!

  • its not that bad, ive been in worse

  • That is pretty rough for that altitude. One time we had to go to 41k feet to get over some bad patches yet we still had some bumps believe it or not.  Thanks for posting!!

    - A

  • Keep pressing 2 for the most exciting part.

  • well, as a Canadian, did you sue them? That would be, after all, your patriotic right!!!

  • Where exactly was the turbulence... it looked pretty smooth to me

  • Oh please that was nothing! Your traveling at 600+mph. WTF, do you think it will always be perfectly smooth??

  • @MyAccount4TrollingU Fuck jesus

  • Ahahaha, well not much else is to be expected going through those clouds!!

  • I find the Westjet FA's and their nauseating jokes infinitely more trying.

  • Is WestJet Canada's jetBlue?

  • @evenairlines I think it's more like Miami Air

  • @evenairlines Modeled after Southwest actually.

  • I dont fly alot so I'm one of those people who after every bump I look at the reactions of the other passengers and the fligth crew and examine their face for signs if I should panic or laugh it off.

  • @glennjridge I think airlines communication is very poor : they don't explain that turbulence means SAFE planes : as a pilot I NEVER would travel in a "turbulence-free" airplane, if it existed it would be the more UNSAFE plane in the world.

  • once i was on a flight to orlando and we were just sitting there and then i got up to use the restroom while i was walking the pilot said fasten your seatbelts i reall ran down the aisle and i get ni my seat and fasten my seatbelt everyone was looking at me then the plane shook and felt like we were dropping i was screaming my head off but then the pilots got the plane back on track and was fine then we landed we got out while we were exiting the plane and in the airport i kissed the growned

  • i will never forget when i was on the plane to Denver, playing my psp. Not a care in the world.then we hit a hot air pocket and the plane dropped. With my headphones in i yelled "SHIT" at the top of my lungs in a dead quite airplane.. yea that was not a bright moment for me ha

  • turbulence is awesome...like a roller coaster

  • questionable.. all you have to do is shake the camera. no value to this!

  • Welcome to Canada wether:D JK you live in Canada

  • CANADA! CANADA! CANADA! CANADA!

  • turbulence is my favorite part, its like being on a roller coaster..... mayb because i grew up on planes

  • why bother uploading that.

  • well ur the one who flew with ryanair

  • I love trolling when this happens. I grin, look to the person at my side, and say "ahh as long as the wings don't snap, we're fine!"

  • @kinito1 then your face instantly transforms into coolface for the rest of the flight :) <3

  • @kinito1 Hahaha I do the same thing :P Last flight we landed in terrible conditions, night, hard winds, turbulence, rain, everything, it looked like one of those crash investigation series and me and my dad were just talking about horrible accidents that happened on planes while people next to us were literally sitting there with eyes closed, hands over their ears scared shitless :D People shouldn't fear planes, driving to the airport is more dangerous then the whole flight.

  • @kinito1 lmao every time xD

  • @kinito1 try saying with a thick middle eastern accent for extra lulz. Tell him its all part of the plan

  • @kinito1 How is that trolling

  • @kinito1 this comment made me lmao

  • @kinito1 My uncle did that shit to me on our first plane flight to hawaii over the ocean.

  • @kinito1 What does trolling mean?

  • @zszs100 it means messing with someone's mind..........

  • Actually, the space shuttle (and all orbital vehicles) go over 17,000 mph.

    Also, the speeds reported to passengers on commercial airliners are speed over ground. The airspeed would be whatever the cruising speed for that aircraft is, which is probably significantly lower than 615 mph at 35,000 ft. Probably much much more than ~550 mph.

  • @vbscript2 that should say "Probably not much more than 550 mph."

  • my dick gets hard going through turbulence

  • @SnipesTopShelf How would you know? You don't HAVE one.

  • Probably just a pothole

  • when you think about it hitting really bad turbulence at 500mph of air pressure would be a worst nightmare. YOU could even be crushed from the g force

  • Had no idea that aircraft could reach those speeds. 

  • @NIKONGUY1960 there used to be a commercial plane called the concorde and it went over 700mph-faster than the speed of sound. (also, the space shuttle's fastest recorded speed is over 14,000mph Yes, fourteen thousand)

  • @Moldychezevids Fail boat on my part. :(

    I meant this particular aircraft. But thanks anyway.

    I was fortunate enough to watch the Concord take off from Dulles back in '76. Quite a sight to behold. Not a quiet aircraft.

  • This is why God invented the ground .......

  • @mralan1969uk no its not

  • OMG WAS THAT A SNAKE???

  • I HATE PLANES AND TURBULANCE BUT SEE IT AS DRVING A CAR AND THE WIND GOING PAST

  • its normal that the 737 reacts that way. I would rather bigger planes because the turbulence is less effective on bigger planes.

  • I don't call this turbulence... I call it a very bumpy ride

  • sometimes i think we are hitting turbulance and its not just rough and dont like it but allways good on quantas

  • i love it but hate planes in general

  • This isnt as bad as wat i was experiencing, i was watching the tv on the seats in the airplane and i got this urge to grip my arm rest and right when i did the plane dropped it took about 20 seconds to get the plane to go up, everyone tht was sleeping automatically woke up and started screaming and the flight attendant that was picking up the garbage fell on her face

  • Vergaaa!!!! que fuertee!!! asi seria la rafaga de viento que paso en ese momento... Que susto! Chequen mis videoss, tambien estan buenos, suscribanse!

  • Heck thats nothing. Try flying from Texas across the desert to LAX. If your not buckled it you may hit the overhead compartment with your noggin.

  • anyone else get that feeling in your stomach when you see the wings start to bend?

  • Okay okay...it was a joke guys lol Don't get all scientific and academic on me. HOWEVER, (to be more specific and academic) the wing did flex at times to what it seemed (from my perception) at high flex angles which caused me to think that it would actually cause some damage to the airplane.

  • Aperture Science wishes to inform you that the left wing will not speak (literally); however, if the left wing does speak, the Enrichment Center advises you disregard its advice.

  • WE HIT TURBULENCE

  • there turbofan jetliners. they can fly at 615mph, its just that they read there speed in knots, and besides u can break the sound berrier in a commercial jet but its almost imposible. and yes they proven u can just barly break the sound barrier in a 737 with lil to no damage. its just never been attempted.

  • You've seen nothing :P Keep flying ... one day I was flying and I thought the left wing would say hello (literally) to the right wing. INSANE turbulence. Then again, you were flying over hilly terrain...quite typical.

  • @aceflyer89 Wow, so you mean the left wing actually vocalised and spoke with the right wing? That's what the word "literally" means...you mean exactly what you say.

    I think "literally" is terribly misused by many folks.

  • Comment removed

  • Smart pilot ya got there. Accelerating in a turbulence. . . just as smart as accelerating at a road bump with car :)

  • Yes 737's can fly at 615mph with a tail wind definitely. A 747 can fly at over 1000kmph with a tail wind - it's not uncommon.

  • A Boeing 737 cannot fly at 615 mph....

  • @buddyboy138 Yes they can, nice little tail wind behind them for sure though.

  • when cud a 737 ever go 615 mph...?

  • @johnyboy1256 this is a turbo 737 :D

  • @johnyboy1256 its a jet

    jets can go fast and thats a newer one

  • this is not turbulance, its just a little bump and shake.

  • @eco100eco100eco technically thats turbulence, when the plane hits an air pocket (i think) and makes the planes shake. kinda like when a car hits a bump in the road. so the smallest of shakes and bumps is still turbulence.

  • @themagicalseaofalli @themagicalseaofalli «air pocket » there is not such a thing. Air is not an empty space and turbulences are mostly caused by the up and down air currents ( pressure differences) and by wind shear,

    and again that was not a severe or even moderate turbulence, it was just a light bump and shake

  • @eco100eco100eco but it was still turbulence.

  • @themagicalseaofalli ok i agree it was a turbulence,,, happy now ?:)

  • [PART 2] Tail winds make the plane more efficient needing less engine power as it is being assisted by these powerful winds its a "bonus" to the pilots, now if the plane where getting hit with strong head winds the ground speed would decrease once on a flight it said 300 MPH ground speed but were actually going 500+ headwinds means more engine power and fuel consumption the atmosphere at 30,000+ feet is very different to the ground its why the ground speed varies but the jet is always at 500+MPH

  • alot of pepole seem to think the airplane is going 615 MPH but the plane is actually going around 500MPH let me clarify that the speed you are seeing is referred to as "ground speed" the name gives itself out, it is the speed of the plane in terms of ground but it is not accurate, what is happening to the plane in this video is. it's getting hit with tail winds witch makes the ground speed go up winds at that altitude can reach 200MPH  this one i estimate to be around 50+MPH

  • 615???!!!?!?! im possible plus the altitude is over 9,000!

  • 615mph might want to slow down a bit.

  • @moondog203 why? thats how you get to your destination fast

  • @moondog203 its the ground speed not air speed.

  • Let me check outside make sure we're still in the air - 0:26

  • I love turbulence it gives me butterflies

  • no wonder the seatbelt signs were on and u were using a camra or phone i really dont care

  • your more likely to be killed by a car smashing through your house and hitting you than getting shaken down by air turbulence

  • I remember when I was a kid on the way back home from Disney World we were in a small plane and as we were coming in to land we hit some turbulence and everybody started freaking out (a couple people screamed) and I was just laughing. People are so afraid of every little thing.

  • aaaand this is why I hate flying

  • @ItalianDani90 its 100 times safer then driving, more accidents have happend on I-84 then aviation accidents

  • @kwilson4961 I know but I just dont like having no control of whats happening or whats in front of me..plus we're so high in the sky ugh

  • @ItalianDani90 yeah but your safe on every flight

  • by the cabin it looks like its a wide body, are u sure its a 737?

  • @kwilson4961 single isle. Definitely not a widebody =)

  • your father is a sht pilot then lmao

  • I love west jet!! An I saw my province!!!

  • Atromos it doesnt depend how Powerful it is. Even if its the Weakest Turbulence its still Turbeulence[ I kidna Agree I've Gotten far Worst on a Detriot-Tokyo Flight on a 777]

  • Weird that you're flying in Canada but the speed is shown as "mph"

  • @zinkros15 Boeing 737 is an American made airplane......

  • So how many people can they fit on a 737 now?

  • vamos a palammaaaaar!!!
