ATC Documentary - Near Miss part (1/5)

[niselat]

ATC is NOT the most stressful job in the world. It is probably not even in the top ten. I get so tired of hearing that shit

[Rayano09]

@niselat Its still a stressful job, and is one of the most, It isnt easy, a mistake can cost the lives of hundreds or even thousands!

[niselat]

@Rayano09 true but there are many other occupations that is true for and it is not the only factor in stress. jobs where your own life is at risk would be much more stressful. and ATC is not the only component in airline safety. there are pilots and electronic systems such as ACAS

[MrAgentGreeny]

That's not a near miss... THAT'S A NEAR HIT!!

@ Every1

I'm drunk !!!

[pocomedy]

what does he mean by scare a couple ears off your life.

[Jochms]

@pocomedy Its a saying, it is said that people who undergo very high amounts of stress have shorter life expectancy.

Holly Crap! I'm NEVER flying again. It's a CRAP Shoot out there. Insane.

If God intended man to fly he would have given him wings.

[TheAmazingCreative]

Then why do it? No one is forcing them to do that job.

[sungmoon1987]

This must have been recorded via VHS on channel 1 in New Zealand!

[TheAmazingCreative]

@sungmoon1987 Wow! An internet video detective. How amazing.

[sungmoon1987]

@TheAmazingCreative Not amazing as replying to as many comments as you do.

ROFLMAO, "Y2K-compliant", I wish I'd been old enough then to have been in a situation where I could have used that term.

[TheAmazingCreative]

@hamstergirl591 I remember when Y2K was the normal term. You must be young

[hamstergirl591]

@TheAmazingCreative No, I remember Y2K, I'm 18, I mean the entire term "Y2K-compliant"

[Enatbyte]

6:14 He is very well spoken.

[carstorm85]

!:50 You can tell this video was made before 2001 b/c it has the wtc in it RIP

[pete5668]

we need to reduce the number of flights to unburden the atc system and implement israeli security and stop groping

[brandon13853]

call 911 

[ArminPr]

@brandon13853 very very funny

[Necr0Phi1e]

I wonder how many of these ATC's have ever seen the movie "Modern Problems"... I bet they all wish they could have Chevy's Powers at times like these.

[ebonyloveivory]

Oh my, the ATC shouldn't be talking about his job while handling landings and takeoffs. He may be very experienced and I have no doubts about his capability but it still gives me the shivers :S

[helsinkisuomi]

@ebonyloveivory Well, I am sure advanced notice was given about the taping for this show. So the workload was probably rearranged for this ATC.

[ElSpewtardo]

3 airports in one city. There's your problem...

[jeppniz]

@relativeair If you're using Firefox there is an add-on that'll allow to download youtube videos to your hard drive. "1-Click Youtube Downloader" will insure that you're never without this documentary again.

[hamstergirl591]

@relativeair

That is the greatest feeling; that's happened to me several times thanks to people on youtube :)

[newzoned]

wow the twin towers were still there

how old is this documentary

[ElSpewtardo]

@newzoned he mentions the y2k bug so im guessing this is 1999

[HimikoHimeX]

@newzoned older than 2001 i presume. now tell me how old are you?

[Lettenbichler]

You may just have 1 life in this game - but a lot of jokers called TCAS

[HimikoHimeX]

@Lettenbichler as long as everyone does what TCAS says yes. if not or one hasn't installed it, not really.
