North West Airlines, Flying from Portland, OR. to Detroit Int. Airport. Our plane lost most of the hydraulic fluids right before flying over the Great Lake of Michigan, and the plane captain informed us about the situation. After flying more than four times over Detroit airport, we all started to pray because we saw the long line of backup planes on the runways and no planes were taking off from any runway. The captain did a great job and he became our hero. By the end of the video you can tell how everyone in the plane was very happy. I am glad I can share this with anyone. And where ever the captain of flight number 2691 is at, I want to thank you very much for taking good care of us and for saving our lives. You are our NW Airlines Hero 2691. God bless our captain and the entire crew who did a great job in keeping everyone calm. I just can not thank you enough.

  • if there were no hydraulics, flaps and speed brakes wouldn't extend. They might have been losing hydraulics fluid....

  • Lol. Even worse you were flying a flight sim? II fly flight sims as well as real aircraft, but nothing is worse than being in the cockpit of an actual aircraft with an emergency, no matter how minor.

  • ???

  • Even worse I was flying a Flight SIM of a Boeing 747 and had the hydraulics fail before landing San Francisco. I had to go around the Bay 14 times to drop fuel before landing. It was scary even on a simulator and it takes someone with a keen heart and calm demeanor to land the plane.

  • cual emergencia
