Thank God for Sully... because of him, I can say that the real tragedy that day was the loss of a few migrating birds. RIP birds. Sorry for your flock's loss. We'll remember you.
I am obsessed with the TACA story. It's not as well known as Sully, but the way the crew just calmly handles this crazy thunderstorm and Capt. Dardano just casually side slips into the smoothest landing possible with no engines always gets me.
Beyond the top-notch piloting, suiting up before leaving the cockpit was an absolute boss move. Wish that could have included in the compilation. Oh well.
The Gilmi Glider incident in Canada also was successful due to an ex military pilot side slipped to a perfect landing at a defunct wartime airport that was being used as a race track
The supercut we were waiting for. Still watching, really enjoying it. Thanks for the years of in-depth analysis based on solid information. That's the reason why I became a Patreon supporter.
the story about captain Carlos is so touching!!!! this kind of respectful attitude to job and the plane and the speed of thinking in stressful situation! the way he loved and wanted to devote his life to it even after losing his eye. This story reminded me of my grandfather who also lost his eye because of the ilness but he was so determined to get a job (in driving) that he managed to prove that he can do his job as good as the others
I'm somebody that was so terrified of flying that I resolved myself to never fly in my life. Despite the stories in the end of 2024 with aviation incidents, I went on my first ever flight a couple days ago. And across the Pacific at that. I would have never felt safe enough to do that if I hadn't found your channel. You taught me that aviation is truly as safe as it ever has been and improvements will surely come from the incidents at the end of last year, particularly the Jeju crash. Air Crash Investigations and similar only cover the surface level and paint the stories as scary, completely unpreventable failures that could happen to anybody. Your videos have shown me just many holes a problem needs to get through to result in serious incidents. I can't thank you enough and look forward to all your videos for 2025 and beyond!
Way to go with facing your fear of flying! I am very proud of you! I was also the same terrified flyer (I still dislike the takeoff and landings though) but I am much more able to hold my fear in check because of this channel (and Kelsey's 74Gear channel). I've even been able to help other passengers with their uneasiness too! Such as a go-around being an actual good thing and shows how the pilots situational awareness is on point. Or to look for the flight attendants -if they aren't worried, neither should I.
Good work! Now I just need to get over the REST of the flying process 😂 I love taking off, flying, turbulence, landing... But I can't stand airports, security, and delayed or cancelled flights.
Yes, we are eight billion and climbing in population and six and half billion of us may fly once in our lifetime according to latest statistics. So, MentourPilot's in-depth coverage over aviation is always refreshing and welcoming.
Sully said "we'll be in the Hudson" at least twice. Here is the end of the communication: Controller: "Cactus 1529, turn right, two-eight-zero. You can land Runway 01 at Teterboro." Sully: "We can't do it." Controller: "Ok, which runway would you like at Teterboro?" Sully: "We're gonna be in the Hudson." (brief pause) Controller: "I'm sorry, say again, Cactus?" (silence) That air traffic controller had a really sinking feeling (pun intended) at that time.
I'm just a passenger but any aviation/airplane/flight/accident story is interesting for me. (Two of the biggest saves in my mind: the story of Capt. Sifis Migadis and Olympic Airways 411 and Air Transat Flight 236 with Capt. Robert Piché) Thanks for the correct and understandable videos. Keep up the good work!
Why is it that whenever I hear a story of successful job competence under extreme conditions, and despite the fact that I don't know those involved, I still feel a sense of pride over their accomplishment?
What a guy man, this is better than anything Netflix could produce. I was engaged the entire time. Thank you Peter, can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2025!❤
Just to elaborate on Flight 5390 (Captain sucked out Mid-Flight): The Captain's feet had turned off the Auto-Pilot, hit full throttle and jammed the controls in maximum down pitch... The aircraft was literately plummeting towards earth at max speed. The stewards did not only just save the Captain... they also helped save the aircraft.
I've learned something in this video. Didn't know that some planes are equipped to fly over water and those that don't fly over water. Love this channel and look for all new posting like I would at new movies in theaters.
Hello from Patreon ♥ Love this supercut of some of my favourite stories. I think about the crew holding onto the captain in the third story all the time, I can't even imagine how surreal it must have felt at the time. I appreciate you taking us along on the journey from the sofa to the chair to the (other sofa and also) desk. Happy new year, everybody ♥
Dear Captain Hörnfeldt, thank you very much for your patience and dedication to your work. Thanks to you, now I am also an aviation fan. I just hope that after the investigation reports on Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 our pilots' feat will also go down on the aviation history. R.I.P. Captain Igor Kshnyakin, First officer Alexander Kalyaninov and Cabin crew Hokuma Aliyeva. May all of you have a good day!
Ive worked on jet engines, hydraulics and control systems for 40 years in the electric power generation industry. It is so fascinating to see how all these systems work to get tons of metal into the air. Thank you so much Petter to you and your team for the excellent explanations of how all of this works together. Especially how the pilots play such a critical role in making it all work together.
Great work, to both you and your crew helping you put these videos together. Your videos are the highlight of my week and the next one never comes fast enough!
Nice compilation! As I recall when the AAIB conducted the BAC 1-11 investigation, they trialled a new interview technique. Instead of a formal office interview, which was sometimes stressful for the persons interviewed, they instead conducted informal interviews over coffee in a hotel. It was thought that this would put people more at ease and yield more information. BTW, "BAC" is not pronounced "BACK" but by spelling out the individual letters, eg Bee Ay See. These were the initial letters of the British Aircraft Corporation. I flew on the 1-11 and had friends who worked for BAC. (BAC was the British half of the Concorde project). Thanks for you videos, which are the best of their type I have ever seen.
Although we'd watched the incidents before also, the way you relived them has been an immensely meticulous job. I'm sure the whole mentourpilot family must be overwhelmed and have understood these masterpieces even better. Congratulations to every member of the mentourpilot team especially Petter from the core of our hearts for putting so much of effort in doing this marvelous job. Best of Luck for your future endeavors ❤❤❤👍👍👍
I can only repeat what hundreds, probably thousands of subscribers have said. These videos have helped massively with my flying anxiety plus turned me into a massive aviation geek. If I could have my time over again I'd have trained to be a pilot instead of joining the military and becoming a nurse
Petter, I always enjoy your videos. Once upon a time, I wanted be an airline pilot. Life had other things in store, however. I’m glad I found your channel as I can I live vicariously through your content. Side note: I saw Captain Sullenberger in the Miami airport in 2009. I was too shy to speak to him. I wish I could have gotten up the courage to speak with him.
i love how u make those vedios, i've been folloing you for quite a lot of time till now. Your story telling and animation'S are the best. BTW love from ASIA [ BD ]
A very good video! I used to read accident reports because I find it interesting to learn what can go wrong and it is uplifting to read about how pilots manage to solve an impossible task. TACA Flight 110, which you mention in your video, is an excellent example of that. And I agree with you: At least two pilots. There are many lives that would have been lost if there was only one pilot behind the controls when an incident occurred.
The taca story was more amazing than the miracle on the Hudson and I’ve never even heard of it. It’s like the American brain only has room for one aviation miracle.
What an amazing director’s cut! It was very inspiring to watch! It makes me glad to be a Mentour Pilot patron. I am proof that one can be an aviation enthusiast, even if one is neither a pilot nor a frequent flyer, for I cannot afford either. Nevertheless, I enjoy Mentour Pilot videos immensely!
Second story is truly amazing. Normally you need two eyes to correctly judge distance but I guess the captain had developed that ability some how. He was a true hero and was doing it in a pretty unfamiliar new aircraft.
Juan Browne (Blancolirio on YT, and also a 777 pilot) has an interview with Captain Christopher Benham on his channel, if you would like to hear him tell the incident himself.
Great airmanship by all the pilots. It's amazing that the BA pilot survived, probably just as well that he passed out. His co-pilot did a great job, and the cabin crew too. We passengers must never take pilots or cabin crew for granted, it always annoys me if I read about drunken passengers making a nuisance of themselves.
Very long and maybe a quite tiresome compilation aviation survival event video to watch but these incidents have a very happy ending and i got some tears in my eyes a little bit which made me even more in love with aviation. As always, Safe travels everyone✈
Two other events where the pilots saved lives were AC143 in 1983 (the Gimli Glider) and UA232 in 1989 (Sioux City). Even though the second was ultimately a crash and there were fatalities, the pilots made it so at last some were able to survive.
Really wonderful stuff, as always. Imagine being able to buy Sully, Carlos and the other pilots, and Petter of course, a couple of drinks and just listen - a dream meet up!
Many engineering, medical and other scientific fields have been written in blood. In fact, most of what we know today about the universe comes from f-ups. My father taught me to never stop learning because you'll never know what you will need in the future. I taught my kids to never be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes become an error only when you don't learn anything from them.
I am not a pilot, not a scared flyer, not someone that enjoys the crashes. I have watched all of the Mentour Pilot videos at least once. Accident reenactments are always done the same way. They always tell the “what” happened, but no one goes into the “why” is happened, the “how” it could have been avoided and “how” the aviation industry is better because of an incident. These are my favorite videos on all of TH-cam. Thank you, and the team, for the efforts. After watching your videos I think I know some of what happened with the Jeju crash: Bird Strike resulting in compressor stalls in the right engine. The crew had a lot of things to manage at that moment. They mistakenly shut down the left engine and forgot to put down the landing gear because they were busy. Because of no landing gear, they did not touch down until half way down the runway. Without the left engine thrust reverser and the right engine with reduced power there was no way to slow the plane on the now very short runway. The concrete berm 250m off the runway was just a recipe for disaster. Turkey a tragic incident that, IMO, typifies the Swiss cheese philosophy. I cannot wait for the report to come out in a few months and your analysis to be produced.
Why is it? I will never get tired of watching airplane videos! I have learned so much from these! Been an American Airlines “brat” and was always very proud of my dad! There is so much in front of and behind the scenes of the airlines business! Always fascinating! Thank you and looking forward to more wonderful videos and information in 2025!
A great video that really evokes emotions. The latest case of the fatigue fracture of the Boeing Triple 7 turbine blade has some analogies to one of the most serious rail accidents in Germany, the ICE accident in Eschede in 1998. Here, too, a safety-relevant component that was previously made of solid material was replaced by an assembled component. The reason for this was not to save weight, but to reduce vibrations and noise from the solid wheels. To this purpose, wheel tires were introduced, the inspection of which was very demanding (I think they used , as hidden fatigue fractures could occur. And so a fatigue fracture of a wheel tire accompanied by a chain of unfortunate circumstances led to a terrible catastrophe. The Swiss cheese model with the overlapping gaps can also be used as a basis for this catastrophe. I think there is hardly any other industry where root cause analyses are carried out as consistently as in aviation.
I think the biggest thing in any emergency, is to stay calm. You cannot think rationally if you are in a panic state. And that is something that only comes from long term intensive training. I used to operate nuclear reactors for a living, in the military. And the navy trains constantly on safety and emergency procedures. After a while, you just know what to do instinctively, and it's "not this again, do the immediate actions, break out the manual to verify, then recover." It got to be so drills were boring. But when actual emergencies happened (and they did happen), you'd just do what you normally did, and everything was fine. There is a reason that the US nuclear navy has an extremely good safety record, and that's because the training is non-stop. And if you happen to fail an ORSE (Operational reactor safety exam), naval reactors would pull your reactor keys, and you could not operate your plants till you fixed yourselves. This also almost never happened. Again, because they weed the people who cannot handle stress out early in the training. And again, the training and drills never stop.
I enjoy this chanel a lot, I'm not exactly scared of flying but I can learn somethig form each video because the way you explain it - even person who is not into planes and those systems around can understand what happened, what went wrong etc. I saw few other channels but they were eiter too technical to the point that average person didn't get anything from it or other side when it was explained by a person who seemingly had no clue what is he talking about. Keep the great work :)
Really appreciate and applaud your work Sir. I keep watching all your videos daily and have gained immense knowledge. My friends and family are impressed by the way I talk about an airline incident or story in general. Wishing you lots of success and prosperity from India ✌🏼🍻👍🏼 cheers!!
Hi. I just become your Patreon supporter. Your video are very well explained and the action of these pilots and crews should be included in CRM training for all airlines.
I just hate to have to take PTO to watch them. 30 mins tops, maybe 45mins. If you can't say it in 30 mins break it up into multiple videos. There is no way I am going to watch this video. I would like to, but I am not willing to.
To start, I love the supercut. I have been debating whether to notify you that the sections' names probably got messed up or not, in fear of appearing unappreciative of your work. I get a feeling that you are proud about it and want it to be as perfect as possible, so here it goes. I am talking about the titles on the progress bar.
This is amazing. Such excellent analysis so we can really understand what's going on in the pilots' minds. Though I was hoping you'd include my favorite save from the Mayday show -- Reeve Aleutian 8.
I love the stories when pilots saved the day. Even United 232, what seems highly unlikely anyone would survive. Reminds me recent Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2823, but I'll wait for final report to make any judgements.
I would suggest you did a video on Air France 358, which was an A340 crash in Toronto in 2005 that overran the runway on landing. The main miracle of this crash is that, even though the plane caught fire and exploded in a ravine off the runway, everyone somehow managed to escape with nothing more than some minor cuts and bruises from the evacuation itself.
Nothing beats Nationwide 723 for me. Literally flying a plane without an engine. All of these are undoubtedly impressive, but the story of Nationwide 723 is insane
Captain Carlos Dardano carried on as a commercial pilot for another 35 years after this most amazing incident , retiring just over a year ago on the 4th of September 2023.
Great compilation! I was waiting for QF32, but hopefully that’s coming in a future video some day. BA38 would also qualify for the super cut, though I suppose almost the entire flight was normal. QF32 definitely counts though, the number of systems impacted just blows my mind. Awesome CRM and (again, as is so ironically the case in these incidents) you’ve got senior captains and check captains onboard. Edit: Ok I just went to double check and I never noticed that video on the Qantas flight yet, oops! I guess I know what I’m watching for the next 30 min now. 😂

Thank you for something for my Saturday!
Thank God for Sully... because of him, I can say that the real tragedy that day was the loss of a few migrating birds. RIP birds. Sorry for your flock's loss. We'll remember you.
I am obsessed with the TACA story. It's not as well known as Sully, but the way the crew just calmly handles this crazy thunderstorm and Capt. Dardano just casually side slips into the smoothest landing possible with no engines always gets me.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! Carlos is great
Beyond the top-notch piloting, suiting up before leaving the cockpit was an absolute boss move. Wish that could have included in the compilation. Oh well.
By all accounts, the captain of the Gimli Glider did a pretty damned impressive slip in a 767, as well.
@@IN10THRC that one is a great story as well!
The Gilmi Glider incident in Canada also was successful due to an ex military pilot side slipped to a perfect landing at a defunct wartime airport that was being used as a race track
The supercut we were waiting for. Still watching, really enjoying it. Thanks for the years of in-depth analysis based on solid information. That's the reason why I became a Patreon supporter.
the story about captain Carlos is so touching!!!! this kind of respectful attitude to job and the plane and the speed of thinking in stressful situation! the way he loved and wanted to devote his life to it even after losing his eye.

Good work!
Now I just need to get over the REST of the flying process 😂 I love taking off, flying, turbulence, landing... But I can't stand airports, security, and delayed or cancelled flights.
It's safer to fly than to drive a car! Congrats on conquering your fears!!
Yes, we are eight billion and climbing in population and six and half billion of us may fly once in our lifetime according to latest statistics. So, MentourPilot's in-depth coverage over aviation is always refreshing and welcoming.
This is so great to hear. Thank you for sharing your story
I love how matter of fact Sully was with the controller 😂 "unable, we'll be in the hudson"
Sully said "we'll be in the Hudson" at least twice. Here is the end of the communication:
Controller: "Cactus 1529, turn right, two-eight-zero. You can land Runway 01 at Teterboro."
Sully: "We can't do it."
Controller: "Ok, which runway would you like at Teterboro?"
Sully: "We're gonna be in the Hudson."
(brief pause)
Controller: "I'm sorry, say again, Cactus?"
(silence)
That air traffic controller had a really sinking feeling (pun intended) at that time.
These are the types of videos I enjoy the most
It doesn't matter how many times I see it, I am still amazed and in awe of the skills of Sullenburger and Skilles.
Taca 110 is the amazing one for me. The captain who had overcome disabilities to fly and then to land that bird on a sand levy. Amazing
These are my favorite stories, happy endings, especially with what has happened just recently. Thank you! You are an amazing teacher and story teller.
I'm just a passenger but any aviation/airplane/flight/accident story is interesting for me.
(Two of the biggest saves in my mind: the story of Capt. Sifis Migadis and Olympic Airways 411 and Air Transat Flight 236 with Capt. Robert Piché)
Thanks for the correct and understandable videos.
Keep up the good work!
Why is it that whenever I hear a story of successful job competence under extreme conditions, and despite the fact that I don't know those involved, I still feel a sense of pride over their accomplishment?
It shows what we ARE capable of. Juxtaposed by constant reminders of how we fail. It's nice to think about the former.
This is the only channel where I never skip over ads because this channel deserves it. Thanks for all your awesome work Mentour Pilot!
What a guy man, this is better than anything Netflix could produce. I was engaged the entire time. Thank you Peter, can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2025!❤
Just to elaborate on Flight 5390 (Captain sucked out Mid-Flight):
The Captain's feet had turned off the Auto-Pilot, hit full throttle and jammed the controls in maximum down pitch... The aircraft was literately plummeting towards earth at max speed.

Excellent flying.
Excellent storytelling.
Keep 2+ pilots in the cockpit.
Great work, to both you and your crew helping you put these videos together. Your videos are the highlight of my week and the next one never comes fast enough!
Thanks, that is very kind of you! There are several new ones in the pipeline
Going old school with the Mentour Pilot sofa setting in the first one. Love it. 👌🏻
Here we gooo sit back and enjoy the ride
I hope you will like it!

Always be inquisitive. You learn more. The variety of knowledge I have collected has helped me with the next incident. It has saved my job & life.

Same to you my friend!!
Why is it? I will never get tired of watching airplane videos! I have learned so much from these!
Been an American Airlines “brat” and was always very proud of my dad! There is so much in front of and behind the scenes of the airlines business! Always fascinating! Thank you and looking forward to more wonderful videos and information in 2025!
I love your vids, helped me a lot to learn new stuffs about aviation. Keep up the great work. Your channel is my first choice for a pastime!
Thanks so much! I’m so happy to have you here!
Recycling old videos. I used to fall asleep to the “talking on the couch” videos, in the literal meaning
One of the best episodes you’ve done! We take for granted all the efforts, training, and often raw skill that keeps flying so safe
The old couch set with the port/starboard pillows, missed the two dogs.
Två timmar tjugo minut!!!!!!! Thanks Petter!
34:56 great CRM with ATC and choice to ANC too. I know that the NTSB highlighted those things in their investigation too. It was really awesome
A great video that really evokes emotions.
The latest case of the fatigue fracture of the Boeing Triple 7 turbine blade has some analogies to one of the most serious rail accidents in Germany, the ICE accident in Eschede in 1998. Here, too, a safety-relevant component that was previously made of solid material was replaced by an assembled component. The reason for this was not to save weight, but to reduce vibrations and noise from the solid wheels. To this purpose, wheel tires were introduced, the inspection of which was very demanding (I think they used , as hidden fatigue fractures could occur. And so a fatigue fracture of a wheel tire accompanied by a chain of unfortunate circumstances led to a terrible catastrophe. The Swiss cheese model with the overlapping gaps can also be used as a basis for this catastrophe.
I think there is hardly any other industry where root cause analyses are carried out as consistently as in aviation.
Fantastic video. Thank you, Petter!
@MentourPilot ty for this vid, amazing content, and as usual ur team did an amazing job
I think the biggest thing in any emergency, is to stay calm. You cannot think rationally if you are in a panic state. And that is something that only comes from long term intensive training. I used to operate nuclear reactors for a living, in the military. And the navy trains constantly on safety and emergency procedures.
After a while, you just know what to do instinctively, and it's "not this again, do the immediate actions, break out the manual to verify, then recover." It got to be so drills were boring. But when actual emergencies happened (and they did happen), you'd just do what you normally did, and everything was fine.
There is a reason that the US nuclear navy has an extremely good safety record, and that's because the training is non-stop. And if you happen to fail an ORSE (Operational reactor safety exam), naval reactors would pull your reactor keys, and you could not operate your plants till you fixed yourselves. This also almost never happened. Again, because they weed the people who cannot handle stress out early in the training. And again, the training and drills never stop.
The side slipping in the second story reminds me of the Gimli glider (Air Canada flight 143) also one of the best Mentour videos.
Great video! And the enthusiasm you show telling the stories is also inspiring 👍👍👍
I was really hoping for a video like this. 👍
Hope you enjoyed it!
@MentourPilot very much. Thanks.
Really love these Director's Cut videos Petter! 👍
This is my favourite TH-cam channel - I love it ❤
Amazing video. Super job. As usual from you.
Mentour Pilot ❤✈!!!!! Many thanks!!!!! Xx............
Thank you too! 💕
@MentourPilot 😘 Xx..........
Petter and this channel are probably the single best publicly digestible proof of the safety of air travel
I enjoy this chanel a lot, I'm not exactly scared of flying but I can learn somethig form each video because the way you explain it - even person who is not into planes and those systems around can understand what happened, what went wrong etc. I saw few other channels but they were eiter too technical to the point that average person didn't get anything from it or other side when it was explained by a person who seemingly had no clue what is he talking about. Keep the great work :)
2hrs+ of Mentour....that's my afternoon viewing sorted. Wifey.....do NOT disturb!!! 😁😁
Excellent 😂😂
Hubby needs his binky
Thank you for this masterpiece!
Really appreciate and applaud your work Sir. I keep watching all your videos daily and have gained immense knowledge. My friends and family are impressed by the way I talk about an airline incident or story in general. Wishing you lots of success and prosperity from India ✌🏼🍻👍🏼 cheers!!
Yes!!! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Hi. I just become your Patreon supporter. Your video are very well explained and the action of these pilots and crews should be included in CRM training for all airlines.
Thank you so much for your support!
I just hate to have to take PTO to watch them. 30 mins tops, maybe 45mins. If you can't say it in 30 mins break it up into multiple videos. There is no way I am going to watch this video. I would like to, but I am not willing to.
To start, I love the supercut. I have been debating whether to notify you that the sections' names probably got messed up or not, in fear of appearing unappreciative of your work. I get a feeling that you are proud about it and want it to be as perfect as possible, so here it goes. I am talking about the titles on the progress bar.
This is amazing. Such excellent analysis so we can really understand what's going on in the pilots' minds.
Though I was hoping you'd include my favorite save from the Mayday show -- Reeve Aleutian 8.
These pilots are heroes.
Indeed!
I love the 2:11 taxi-out where you can see the heat of the exhaust gasses affecting the right main gear's view.
I love the stories when pilots saved the day. Even United 232, what seems highly unlikely anyone would survive. Reminds me recent Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2823, but I'll wait for final report to make any judgements.
Wow this just shows how much your quality has gone up
Amazing content-can tell you put so much into research to be able to present fact based deliveries.
Been following you from Nigeria.
Extremely interesting video. Thank you so much!
Initially, I was surprised Aloha Airlines Flight 243 didn't make the list. However, the ones chosen are well deserving of the attention.
I would suggest you did a video on Air France 358, which was an A340 crash in Toronto in 2005 that overran the runway on landing. The main miracle of this crash is that, even though the plane caught fire and exploded in a ravine off the runway, everyone somehow managed to escape with nothing more than some minor cuts and bruises from the evacuation itself.
Fantastic vid, thank you.
2hrs?
My weekend just got better!🎉
Nothing beats Nationwide 723 for me. Literally flying a plane without an engine. All of these are undoubtedly impressive, but the story of Nationwide 723 is insane
These were really amazing stories. Thank you.
1:48:23 the famous "keep the blue side up"...
This is better than watching an evening movie.
Captain Carlos Dardano carried on as a commercial pilot for another 35 years after this most amazing incident , retiring just over a year ago on the 4th of September 2023.
Another top level episode!!!! ❤❤
Fantastic stories!
19:41 Thank you for making an unintended reference to Green Dot Aviation's channel.
There are multiple YT channels covering airline incidents better cable channels. Ditto for other subjects.
@@QuincyQ99712 Enjoy your ability to type your opinion.
Great compilation! I was waiting for QF32, but hopefully that’s coming in a future video some day. BA38 would also qualify for the super cut, though I suppose almost the entire flight was normal.
QF32 definitely counts though, the number of systems impacted just blows my mind. Awesome CRM and (again, as is so ironically the case in these incidents) you’ve got senior captains and check captains onboard.
Edit: Ok I just went to double check and I never noticed that video on the Qantas flight yet, oops! I guess I know what I’m watching for the next 30 min now. 😂
