  • I understand the ATC is saying "very good" because the other pilots are not in danger of be hit by the plunging plane. But jesus you think he could find a different phrase under the circumstances.

  • they totally could have said something different

  • Gut wrenching. Nothing they could do but wait ...

  • yea that's right

  • That's really too bad.

  • yea it is i feel soooooo bad for them

  • Just FYI, the term "very good" means the same thing as "I understand" or "Will Comply with your request"

  • @Jebediah79 Gosh Jeb, maybe you should consider the ATC's stress at the moment. If you understand what "very good" means then what's to bitch about? I'll apologise to you now for the ATC, that he didn't please you with his wording. I guess while being "under the circumstances" as you say, he wasn't thinking about pleasing an asshole like you.

  • @AubreyBryan the G force of a diving plane inverted would be horrible for the pilots and even worse for the passengers. omg i cant even image what they musta felt and dont ever want too. this is sad for sure. rip to all those who lost their lives that day

  • Horrible. Just horrible. Nothing those poor piolots could do. Just imagine being a passenger. Even worse. God help them.

  • do i have to remember this like 9/11

  • @panamcunard

    As an air traffic controller I can tell you the worst thing you can do is panic and get the pilots flustered. Remaining calm helps the pilots to feel a glimmer of hope. The ONLY way to be when dealing with an aircraft, under any condition is to be calm.

  • No Jebediah79 old chap, "very good" just means "roger" or "I understand", in this case. It no more means "good", than my "old chap" means "old".

  • Video makes me sad, Requiescit in Pace all who lost their lives.

  • They should have gone to Edwards where the space shuttle lands. R.I.P.

  • omg you can just tell the loss of words in those other pilot's voices..I mean they are up there watching this..knowing..that's horrible..
