shuttle landing in Cape Town - 2001: a space oddity

[ZL398DtqC]

Apollo 13 this is gay

[Falcon843]

thi is just a lol

[valedan1075]

conventinal runways or streets in this case would not be able to handle this. The shuttle has no go-around capibility.

[beybladefan1111]

plus that guy who was driveing it is complety nuts

[beybladefan1111]

is that guy driveing is out of his mind

[nutyracr23]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! 1:17

[TheDJCool34]

[TheNitroWarroir]

@TheDJCool34

Yo ass hole of crouse its fake

[TheDJCool34]

@TheNitroWarroir is hte language nessesary?

[FunkyZangel]

@TheDJCool34 Thank you, captain obvious

[ejerej5]

Dear NASA: South Africa isn't a jungle. In Cape Town we actually have a world class airport that can handle such situations. PS: I know this is fake--I'm just saying.

[thegtamanful]

haha the black guy thaought it was a dog haha

[ejerej5]

@thegtamanful Actually car-guards whistle to all cars.

[dalejrfan0105]

Fake

[kidpork29]

Damn NASA, you scary!

[westminsterkid76]

that'apollo 13 audio

[armageddin112]

chuck norris's private jet.

[marcozz94]

Good Fake

[GunBroker100]

Ha-Ha, But if they don't get it moved in 24 hrs, they're wouldn't be anything left. It would be like parking your car in some places in the Bronx, ya just don't do it.

[Quickshot900]

You have to be an idiot to think this is real

[yellowstone024]

Very Imaginative . . . especially like the Armageddon soundtrack music. . .

[Erik0072]

lol apollo 13 sound clip

[whalers59]

Wasn't this from the TV movie Max Q?

[Alexander19851]

Hey guys listen this is fake the Space Shuttle can never do this only it can land at KSC Shuttle landing facility or at the Edwards Air Force Base in california

[Wingdinger1]

Not bad...  :)

[jeta45]

What year did this happen? And how did i miss it? Guess the media didn't cover this.

[Mathiashamzamirza]

@jeta45 You do realize it's fake right?

*sigh*

//You do realize i only did this to get top comment right?

[VladimirG1986]

Dumbest shit I've ever seen!

[draqonofwhitestars]

looks rediculous...

[invisiblejustin]

haha holy hell rofl that is some funny shit great job yall

[tthomastran]

i thought this was Power rangers :o

[chip35916]

Lmao at the dude at the end lol

[ThumbsUpGuy16]

good animation guys i laughed LOL

[rundownthestreet202]

I'm not sure but I think this actually happened so its real

[MultiAK47man]

REAL?

[RStyleFun]

@MultiAK47man No, it's effects, but the effects are crazy!!

[blankdeluxe]

@MultiAK47man does it look real to you? Really?

[Carlovfx]

Atomic VFX forged a bunch of geniouses, go to see on which productions theese people worked on after AtomicVFX.

[giancla85]

Mio Dio che puttanata rara.

[Carlovfx]

@giancla85 Ci ha lavorato un mio ex collega a questa animazione, ti assicuro che ai tempi era roba di primissima qualita' e stiamo parlando dello stesso regista di District 9.

[giancla85]

@Carlovfx Non mi riferivo alla qualità dell'animazione. Mi riferisco all'atterraggio di uno space shuttle su una strada urbana.

[Carlovfx]

@giancla85 Ai tempi era una idea assolutamente innovativa, poi la copiarono vari registi di Hollywood. Se ci pensi bene non e' nemmeno cosi' stupida, in fin dei conti lo shuttle al rientro e' come un deltaplano, non ha spinta dai reattori quindi basta un calcolo sbagliato da terra e ti ritrovi a dover atterrare dove capita :) Ovvio che cose del genere non succedono, ma l'idea secondo me era molto carina.

[Maupin001]

Black chines were Columbia - all other shuttles had 100% white wings, including Atlantis. ;)

[nukeacat]

Actually the whole beginning is from Apollo 13 the movie notice how..oh I don't know... NO ONE DIED!!! but still great job

[nukeacat]

ive seen this before its fake (obviously) but notice tom hanks voice for apollo 13 the movie

[Daniel55556]

That movie is called Apollo 13 not space shuttle

[peddrokka]

Trash...

[rebmcr]

If this really happened, the internet would be full of urban myths about SA charging the USA $1000s in parking fines.

[mbrosset318]

no adults but 47 babies died that day chuck norris was confirmed as the cause of the malfunction while in a Japanese bath house in spain, along with rebels from a Taliban faction working out of hati. Shark attacks are on the rise leading to child hood obesity.

[earthwormjah]

Thats just Chuck Norris coming home from work

[90Blakey]

@earthwormjah chuck norris has no job. the goverment is afraid of him so they don't tax him and they pay for all his expensives and luxuries

[TheYoubey]

its so so so fake

[mateusluanbmp]

3:05 lol hahahaha

[entertain2100]

lame sauce



[rodrigozovka1]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkk



[PetyaAhin]

The shuttle looks a little bit biggish :) Just a little bit :)

[masterson25]

idiot jestes pojebany cwelu

[Silavite]

That stuff from 00:01 to 00:40 was from he movie Apollo 13

[raid517]

It would have been funnier if it had stopped at a red traffic light.

[timothymagnifico]

that was sweet

[jordododo]

1:42 is that obama?

[th3d3vil1000]

9.11am in the big brother house

[iloveairfrance]

How is it "well done" ??? Just one of the 1000 errors of this ""video"" : the Shuttle has no jet engine, so just tell me which sound they thought they were reproducing ???

[EELWILSON]

Nice one touch dowwwn

[cvz1999]

unbelieveable, where is it

[ManEatingSharks]

And of course... how long do we think it would take the orbiter to be hijacked...??

[Profoundness]

Wow to the idiots expecting this NOT to be fictional. Really.

[Inathi12]

breath-taking wow wow i want to b in tht film too lol

[Zenox15]

at 1:44 i would have fucking shit myself

[edsonsafra1961]

crap

[finalfrontier1701]

This is really good, but the scale looks off as it's flying over the city.

[GOUSN1776]

I remember that day! I almost shit myself. :/

[yickrock]

i love this!

[TheHaxit]

Which time was this? The 1872 landing or the 2001 landing?

[MegaFreedom911]

That was awesome

[napollionaires]

thats awesome

[KUMA20371]

great fiction

[salsajuan317]

ROFLMAOOOO!!!!! The video of the airliner landing on a Los Angeles freeway looked waaay more realistic than this.

[RamBam3000]

I think I just wet myself laughing! That was awesome!

[CJCruiser]

Hey bro, made me smile

[gypsykingg]

fucking retarted i'ts fucking olbveous that this is fake

[Freeflyer91]

Who does NASA think they are, running red lights like that? :/

[XZstudios]

That road must've been long as HELL!

[michaelmckay63]

Lucky no one was killed.

[Ladiesman217n]

kinda makes me think of that scene from the core where the space shuttle lands in LA

[DraftMasterJohn]

@Ladiesman217n I was thinking X-Men: The Pheonix Saga

[RokkerBoyy]

@Ladiesman217n same thing i was thinking

[Ladiesman217n]

nice use of apollo 13 and armageddon music and sound love it

[DJCaesar]

PREMIERING NEXT WEEKEND TO SYFY

[MISTERMORNE]

Finally. Cape Town is in a cool movie :-)

[tigersaint225]

you do know you have a parachute right ?

[MichaelCox]

The physicist inside me is weeping bitterly over the lack of extremely destructive and unpredictable turbulent vortices that would form in the wake of a massive aircraft flying between skyscrapers at high subsonic velocities. I still appreciate the joke though.

[scotplane]

Does it really take that long?

[pamibeau]

Now that's what I call driving like an American!! lol! §:c)

[xl50Cal1bR3xl]

i knew it was fake from the moment i saw channel 69...

[sddengineer]

Right up to a parking meter with a sign that says P 60 Min ! Gotta love that. Yet, the air brakes on the vertical stabilizer weren't deployed. Great work.

[Sanju2597]

This video can be said fake 'cause during landing the astronauts should release parachutes

[17143972290]

they forgot to have the trees and light posts and wing tips break

[omega4chimp]

Why don't we have giant space ships that are assembled in space because their so huge like the one in the movie The Rodger Young - Starship Troopers?it would be like the f-22 all the country could invest into it come on don't you wanna see some real sci-fi shit in your life time?

[jaehill13]

Nice!!!!



[tstuart08]

lol prodely cape town

[skysaber89]

you gotta love the armageddon theme music

[TrainGuy33]

If That Were Real That Would Be A Really Good Landing

[234cruzer]

Cool fake video

 looks realistic lol!

[altfactor]

In real life, an emergency landing of a shuttle would give the landing strip at least an hour to prepare for it.

And isn't there a contingency shuttle landing facility somewhere in South Africa??

If there is, that's where an emergency shuttle landing would take place....and not in downtown Cape Town!

[Dumbrarere]

@altfactor well obviousely thats true. however this video was intended as comedy.

[2011LEGOFAN]

NO! not the Atlantis my second favorite space shuttle that had it's tail scraped off!:( anyways I wish the shuttle had no name.

[ned987]

cool. really realistic.

[Ombaeh]

This thing about like and dislike tagging gave me a lot to think..

[TheEgg185]

i signed in just to rate this thumns DOWN

[them34]

one of the biggest give aways is that the ship is in a higher resolution than the cameras

[lakestorm11]

I'm not really sure but I think it's real because it would be way too hard to fake. I haven't watched the news in a while so I'm mad I didn't hear about it :(

[TheEgg185]

@lakestorm11 you gotta be fuckin stupid...

[halomaster9889]

lol :)

[wdnole]

great fx, you forgot the twin sonic booms that happen every time the shuttle lands.

[rash56000]

the song is from Armageddon

[zeldafanatic2]

What's with the Apollo 13 at the beginging.

[Man2Break]

Hey! Shuttle is supposed to be completely SILENT when it glides!

[HaBooBo0]

AMAZING work, considering it was done with 2006 tech.

ROFL at the end!!

Is this available in high-quality somewhere?

[CynicalVision]

@HaBooBo0

"Considering it was done with 2006 tech"

There are things made in the early 90s that still look better than some of the things made today, the difference between 2006 tech and todays is small.

[HaBooBo0]

@CynicalVision "the difference between 2006 tech and todays is small." Actually no not really. CG from the 90's looks like shit, and the rendering software and computer hardware available to the average CG hobbyist today is considerably more sophisticated than that of 2006. Anyways, I made the comment as a compliment to the creator(s) of the vid, not for you to get your rocks off and annoy everyone by attempting to nitpick. This discussion is done. *enjoy*

[CynicalVision]

@HaBooBo0

If you really think that the CG in films like Jurassic Park look like shit then you need your eyes testing.

[ellonysman]

great vid~!

[seg9585]

Hah, if only the shuttle had that shallow a glide slope!

[anonymousstormchaser]

holy shit! When did this happen? Did the news report it?

[crazydude726]

Has to be the worst video I've ever seen.

[FunyMufin]

Its a symbol for U.S. imperialism. It makes me ashamed to be an American.

[jordorama1]

lol im surprised no body got killed lol jks it was fake but so funny :P

[100tbeats]

fake



[mikey0118]

@100tbeats Thanks 100tbeats for telling us it was 'fake'. It certainly had me fooled until I saw your comment.

[pokewiz309]

If this was real, this video would officially be dubbed tone of the most hilarious (yet epic) videos on youtube!

[Rallscrawls]

yeah. no.

you're done

[new2lw]

Good vid, but forgot to deploy parachutes >.<

[TrainGuy33]

@new2lw On The VERY First Space Shuttle They Didn't Need A Parachute. But Now I Guess That The Runway's Are To Short So They Do Need A Parachute.

[sddengineer]

Parachutes were only used on the last third or so of all flights. They used air brakes and wheel brakes until they burned up enough wheel brakes and tires.

[TheMtaTeam]

@new2lw i watched this when i was 7 and i thought it was real lol

[CQDBmusicrecords]

@new2lw They rarely use the braking parachute during landing, usually the air brake is sufficient, they only use the parachute if the glide angle and speed of the shuttle is over the norm.

[ManEatingSharks]

@CQDBmusicrecords Deploying the drag-chute straight after every Shuttle main-gear touch-down is in the procedures...

[TheOgerKing]

if only ... lol that would be something freaky...

[dmdrakula93]

Ой бля! Я усрался кирпичами! Да это круче, чем индийское кино! В рот компот! Почему в бубуеча так шатля не садятся, бля! Автор! Даёшь пепелацы в бубуечи и на ботанику!!!

[Gam3rTagger]

he wants to bite ya

HOLY SHIT

[ardalanakbari002]

It was so fake that my computer actually turned off

[ardalanakbari002]

It was fake that my computer actually turned off

[MrLookout73]

this video looks so gay. Nobody on the planet is allowed to comment me back.

[rocker78able]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! 1:17

[MrLookout73]

@rocker78able Stop being a little bitch, it's fake.

[rocker78able]

@MrLookout73 no. i am just repeating what someone said. I know its fake anyway.

[MrWaynereid]

Do ppl actually think this is real lol .... if so then the camera man who was following the shuttle with perfect precision must have been either running really fast or in a fast car ... cause he knew exactly where the shuttle would be lol

[MrAppleby56]

OMG WHY DIDNT I HEAR ABOUT THIS ON THE NEWS!

[boohowdy]

It would be awesome if this happened. Nice editing

[Cam1Skelton]

after all that they get out look around and say " we are so fired"

[appboom]

lol, awsome editing!

[KnifeCalledLust24]

america...fuck yeah!!!

[banner1835]

@KnifeCalledLust24 Shut up American I know where you live ,TROLL.

[HOLLISKID23]

I like how the guy tries to guide the shuttle to park

[denvera1g1]

lol why does it speed up after it hits the ground

[wowdanalise]

@Bakinmanproductions

Ab deh ish tlen caarou shennan bleuh.

[wowdanalise]

It's real.

[CrIp1391]

FAKE and GAY!

[zenach48]

One word...EPIC

[ShRiNkInGMuShRoOmS]

815 people think their smart because they realised this was a fake. 1370 people ARE smart because they realise its a short film and its really funny.

[CynicalVision]

@ShRiNkInGMuShRoOmS

Or you could just accept that not everyone has the same opinion as yourself and just didn't like the video.

[cooldit1]

THAT WAS SOOOOO FAKE!!! That guy at the end would have been poisoned by the gasses that surround the shuttle after it lands.

[thesnorklemonkey]

@cooldit1 Yeah. Boy are you smart. You're a real keener. You know, they actually had me going. But boy did you show me!

[Mcfungulz]

luckily, everyone was hurt

[cooldit1]

@Mcfungulz lol

[bigbadboris]

apollo 13....fuck you

[yotsheep]

South Africans are not stupid. They are the only people in the world who got it right to steal a hi-jack proof vehicle!!

[yotsheep]

Cape-tonian here!!! This never happened! And South Africa is not that ancient since we have one of the best observertories in the world. The southern hemisphere has a clearer view of outer space than the north...so we do not need to send things into space to get better pictures. And why should we even wanna explore space when Cape Town is so great (great weather, beaches, no natural disasters to mention a few). The only reason we dont have a space program is cos we are not really interested...

[workshop77777]

Haha, the poor africans didnt no what the hell was going on. The Africans have no space programme at all

[boogman718]
