I’ve been a flight attendant for 20 years on Boeing aircraft. Have never seen a railing under the bins. We just balance ourselves on the bins, except for MAX’s and 787’s. Those Bins are high and more sloped to allow for more head room. Nothing to hold on to except seats. 🤷♀️
It just depends on whether the buyer asks for the hand holds. I’ve been a flight attendant for over 25 years, and I see them on some planes. But, I do agree with you as a flight attendant, I just use the bins or seat backs.
The movable aisle armrest is not a "hidden safety feature" for evacuation. That doesn't even make sense to have a hidden safety feature. In an emergency, no one would know it's there or how to use it/find it. The armrest is moveable because some passengers with disabilities need to be able to slide from the wheelchair to their seat without being lifted. (The wheelchair used in this case is a special size to fit down the aisle of a plane.) Lifting passengers in such tight spaces can cause injuries. A slide board is placed between the wheelchair and the aisle seat for the passenger to move between the two. That's why the armrest needs to be able to fold up.
You''re absolutely right, this feature may or may not be available on every economy class seat. It is a feature purely designed for Disabled access and then only on Aisle seats. It is usually fitted on older seat models which do not generally feature articulated armrests! It is not a secret emergency feature, to suggest so is ludicrous!
I worked as a flight attendant fro 34 years. On 9/11, I was on a layover in Manchester, England. Just like citizens around the world, all of us were in shock.

I think most shallow-water SCUBA divers use compressed air because it is cheaper than the oxygen-helium mixture that is necessary to prevent the "bends" caused by nitrogen percolating out of the blood during rapid decreases in external pressure. The use of ordinary compressed air (which is about 16% oxygen and 93+% nitrogen by volume) limits the amount of time someone can remain at depth without ascending to prevent the bends. SCUBA divers (the ones that have survived) keep close tabs on how deep and how long they are at depth, lest they run out of air while ascending at a rate that allows the nitrogen to escape their body without causing a fatal case of the bends. Passengers flying in airplanes above 10,000 feet need compressed oxygen that is normally supplied by cabin air. That is why commercial airplanes have pressurized cabins. Military airplanes and space craft fly by a different set of rules. If you are flying commercially and the masks drop down, you have much more to worry about than breathing.

As a pilot, I enjoy watching videos like this, generally because they contain outlandish "facts" that are nowhere near true. I was pleasantly surprised with this video. Everything was true. However, the detachable cabin idea will absolutely never become a thing. As pilots, we're taught from day 1, never give up. Do everything possible to get on the ground as safely as possible. Also, as a pilot, why would we sacrifice ourselves to detach the cabin and save everyone else? If I get down safe, y'all get down safe too. Multiple case studies out there that seem absolutely hopeless, but the pilots did everything they could think of and saved most, if not all, of the people on board. The most famous, Cactus 1549...the miracle on the Hudson.
Would detaching the cabin mean the pilots sacrificing themselves? It looked like the important bits of the plane would still be there. I wonder how it would handle with all that weight suddenly jettisoned!
I don't think jettisoning 3/4 of your airplane is going to make it fly very well. So I agree that the pilot's are probably sacrificial at that point. I agree that we'll never see this in commercial aviation. Though, mainly because there's no cost benefit to airlines. The loss of cargo capacity, because of the added weight of the detachable cabin and it's components are simply not worth it when the chances of being in a fatal accident is negligible.
15:50 I figured out the "unlock" switch on the aisle armrest a long time ago, and I make a habit of lifting the armrest when we're boarding and leaving the plane. So much easier to get everyone in and out when the armrests are all up.
@@Wonderhoy-er Not sure, but since they're only on the aisle armrest there must be a reason. Probably has something to do with not being able to accidentally bump them upward, like someone walking past might do.
They must be down and locked for take offs and landings. A lowered armrest can be crucial to help direct people (forward of aircraft) in low visibility after an accident.
It may be more of an indication of how well maintained it is. A lot of parts will have been changed in that time. But ... if that was an up-to-date picture of the actual plane, it looked like it still has the original type of long, thin, cigar-shaped engines.
@@MarleneMeierBasic science…air is a mixture of gases, 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the other 1% is water vapor, argon and CO2 combined. Breathing 100% oxygen is only done in hyperbaric chambers or divers using rebreathing devices or divers doing extreme underwater dives. Air is not just oxygen.

About ten years ago we flew to and from Australia to the USA with United, on the last flights of 747’s that the airline was using. The one we flew home was going to fly on from Australia empty to the Middle East to be turned into a cargo plane. Those things were old planes, decades old possibly, and felt solid and reliable. Just a great old bird.
The DC-10's and MD-11s fell out of favor with passengers but had a long second life as cargo planes. 747s will be flying cargo for a long time to come.
he didn’t say scuba divers use oxygen he said like the tanks at Skuba dives as use. Because the same style of tank is also used for oxygen in other professional industries. All the comments saying he’s got it wrong and not listening to what he’s saying.😂😂😂
I worked for a company once that made laser scribing machines, huge great big lumps of precision granite. Our customer wasn't prepared to wait for the finished machine to be shipped by sea, so they paid for it to be shipped from Oxford to Japan on an Antonov. I didn't get to see the send off myself, but the photos were quite a sight.
Scuba divers don’t use oxygen tanks either. They use air tanks. Sometimes with slightly different levels of oxygen and nitrogen than in normal air. But no oxygen tanks (100% oxygen). Not at all !!
Scuba divers tanks ALSO don't contain "Oxygen"!! It's compressed air.. Which has a low percentage of Oxygen in it.. But "Air" is NOT Oxygen!! Be Amazed!
I feel like there's another problem with the detachable cabin -- it only works in open space. So if you're over open water or farm fields, it could be useful, but if the area is even moderately populated, dropping the cabin could cause catastrophic results. Even some terrain might be too rough to do this safely -- mountainous areas, for instance. Plus, it wouldn't work for accidents on takeoff or landing, which make up the majority of aircraft accidents. Then you also have to consider the risk that the system itself could malfunction and cause an accident, and it starts to become pretty obvious why the technology is slow to be picked up -- if it's only effective in a small number of accidents, and also *creates* an additional accident risk beyond that of standard aircraft, it could end up being a wash or even a net negative.
Great points! My main thoughts were focused on the fuel system. From what little I understand, isn't the fuel system typically ran under the cabin and wings, almost like a loop? Isnt this why, generally speaking, once a fire catches, it'll spread immediately & be so catastrophic for a large percentage of people on board? So, I'm REALLY curious as to how the detachable fuselage would work around the fuel system without jeopardizing the function while safe guarding from worse scenarios?
@@fadingfrost2617 Oh I don't know. It's not at all hard or difficult for me to imagine a system that avoids fuel lines intermixing with the passenger cabin. Fuel is stored in wings and engines are mounted under wings. The passenger section would be entirely separate.
The idea of modular cabins being somehow faster than either transferring passengers and cargo to a new, fully-fueled plane or just having the passengers stay on board during a required refueling on the ground is pretty silly as well. The only scenario I can come up with where a modular plane makes sense is in the case of a small airline that does a mix of cargo and passenger flights. If modular cabins were standardized and interchangeable like shipping containers, I could see an airline with only a few plans choosing to use modular airframes and swap cabins on a per-flight basis. But even that is incredibly unlikely if the design imposes lower fuel efficiency.
@@bearnaff9387 Yeah but then you would need to have a spare modular cabin at each airport you want to fly it out of, sitting there waiting for the plane's return, collecting parking fees and taking up space. I can imagine how this would become a problem for both the airlines and airports pretty fast.
The top comment is accurate enough. Yeah, there's nitrox for longer bottom time on shallow dives, Trimix for deeper dives, and people using rebreather circuits. Pure oxygen is also used for decompression stops as part of technical diving. But 99.9% of dives are done on good old compressed air.
In 28 years as a aircraft line maintenance engineer I have never heard a ground call horn sound like that. 😂 The other horns are for a APU fire and Avionics cooling failure.

On some window seats, I have lifted the window armrest to give extra bum room. I always used to put the armrest down after the flight. This was mainly on newer Airbus A320 aircraft.
I love the seat trick on the for lifting the arm. I am disabled and it has always been hard for me to get out of the seat when going to the restroom or getting in and out. Next time I travel, I will try this.
I actually knew about that one. Back in the day when traveling on a wide body jets, 747, DC-10 or L-1011international flights were typically well under booked.. Many times the plane would be barely 20% full. There was always a center section of seats five or six across where if I were sleepy, I could go to on of those rows and flip all the arm rests up and out of the way, allowing me to lie flat across, like a bed.. During the 1970s, once you were in the air in a mostly empty plane, the crew didn't care where you sat.
Yes, me too, I often wondered about this, but no one ever shows you. I'm a wheelchair user btw. Next time I will surprise my husband, who always spends ages riving at it like men do, and just click flip - and really annoy him for the rest of the day! After 50 years of marriage, you take your 'wins' when you can get them!!!!!!
Nitrox has more oxygen and less nitrogen than air. It is to save on decompression requirements for nitrogen saturation. However one should not go too deep in order to prevent oxygen poisoning which occurs at higher than normal partial pressures of oxygen. The numbers are available in manuals
I seem to remember that all of the armrests could be moved up. I once flew on a mostly empty flight and I was able to lay across all the seats like a bed
I'm traveling in 11 or 10 days❤ I'm not nervous at all❤ add at the airport I'm going to be watching this video it's going to be super weird if somebody from the airport that works their spots me watching the videos imagine if they kick me out of the airport😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉❤❤❤❤❤ and also pray for me😂😂😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I would look for better channels than this one. Whilst most of it is technically correct, it is is irrelevant and pointless. Look for channels such as mentour pilot, for example. He's a real pilot and has far more understanding than the numb nut who wrote this one.
Another reason the detachable cabin for emergencys is pointless, more than 90% of plane crashes take place duing takeoff/landing. In those cases having the cabin break away that close to the ground, might actually make things worse.
@@robertheinkel6225 Most modern long-haul aircraft have it. Not all flight crew use it, there's usually a space up front for the pilot/copilot/engineer/etc... and one towards usually the rear that is for flight attendants, separate areas.
That's not quite how tail numbers work in the US. They are like license plates, with custom numbers only available on request and they must follow a specific format. Airlines may try to get tail numbers that follow some arbitrary preference, but it's just as feasible for an antique Piper Cub to have that number instead. Some private owners change numbers just to have one that is easier to say over the radio or has personal meaning, like an anniversary date or initials. There may be no more than 5 characters after the N, with at least the first being a number and only the last two having the option of being letters, e.g. N1, N12345, N1A, N123AZ, with letters I and O not allowed.
Nice video! When you travel west (back in time), it should be called "Jet Lead", since you're leading in time. One of the most irritating things is when someone walking down the aisle during the night grabs and yanks your seatback while passing. I avoid it unless I lose my balance.
As someone who works as groundcrew and regulary talks with the captain you'd be amazed of alot of converstations I have with them and they with each other.
I wish airlines would emphasize that the middle seater is supposed to have priotiry over both the middle armrests, since aisle or window seats have their own benefits.
Ok. This vid came up on my playlist and I like listening to slightly interesting but not too interesting stuff to go to sleep (yes, I know - a little nutty). Anyway, it was interesting enough that I felt the need to watch (I normally place my phone face down under the pillow). Ok, I thought. Same old same old. Stock footage and a narration. Check. I have this channel’s number. But then, I notice something. The passage discussing the horn in a plane has a photo of the actual button. And again, a different plane, different button but crucially for my attention, the RIGHT button both times. A small thing but I’ve underestimated these people, even though I’m not now going to fall asleep in a matter of minutes like usual. Subscribed. Attention to detail like this gives me confidence the content is not just the usual clickbait.
Lol!! I LOVE comments that appear to be smartassed BUT are actually correct or serve some purpose Oxygen vs Air "Oxygen just contains oxygen. Air, however, contains a variety of elements and other substances, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, methane, neon, krypton, hydrogen, xenon, iodine, and more."
C-141 and C-130 are two versatile airplanes. Both can be used for cargo or a combination of cargo and passengers or cargo and aeromedical evacuation. Just remember an airplane taking fresh vegetables and fruit to Alaska are going to be cold!
I already knew about the short time on the oxygen masks. Up to 14 minutes you're either saved or dead or soon to be dead, after the crash. Plus the older planes and the not so black boxes.

17:52 the Airbus A350 actually has a range of 16777216 colours to choose from. This is because every colour is assigned the same unique 6-digit hexadecimal code as the ones used for determining page colour, font colour, etc in HTML.
@@hapi705 Bruh, look at how many planes fly everyday, all those planes have need at least 4 very expensive jettison seats with parachutes with cabins that are able to open all the way instantly and all pilots would have to be trained how to do this and how it will feel. Plus when the passengers get detached they wouldn't have any air, water, energy until they reached the ground, which would be a long time because of the surface area and the parachutes. The fuselage would also go upright and make everyone fall the one side and crush each other.
Air Marshals are NEVER referred to as Sky Marshals. Thats a former FAA Organization pre 911 of only a few folks. Also, they do sit togeather at times and sit in front of the plane because duty is to protect the flight deck, no engage passengers blocking the way to the cockpit.
Air Marshals ARE referred to as Sky Marshals. Maybe not officially, but people that don't know, or more importantly don't care if there is a difference, sometime do refer to them as Sky Marshals.
6:21 to 6:44 is more applicable to the USA I think, with aircraft registered in other countries following other naming systems e.g. BA's A380s' tail no. start with 'G-X' followed by 3 alphabets while SIA's A380s start with '9V-SK' followed by 1 alphabet, while its A350s start with '9V-SM' followed by 1 alphabet. Also Taiwan/the ROC is the only territory I've seen so far that requires its tail no. ('B-' followed by 5 digits) to be written on the front of the fuselage too
The moveable aisle armrest is only partially a safety feature. I doubt you will ever see it mentioned in a flight attendant safety demonstration but use of the arm rest release button may help prevent a gouged leg when getting out of your seat. On the other hand, if you leave it up to gain room, you might get your elbow struck by the beverage cart. A bit of a trade off.
“The an-225” shows the an-124. Also it’s Mriya not Mariah. Say triple 7 instead of seven seven seven and also there is no such thing as a tarmac, it’s just the runway and taxiway
@@cerealeggvr6942 Yes, that was exactly my point, that the video shows a plane with 4 engines and a plane with 6 engines (which clearly can't be the same plane!) as if they were the same plane.
Tarmac or tarmacadam is a road construction technique that used a mixture of tar (or asphalt) over crushed rock. Most modern airports and many roads use concrete, with or without a "protective" covering of tar or asphalt, but in the early days of flight tarmac was easier to lay down for runways and, much later, taxiways to hangers and airline terminals. Suggest you be less pedantic and simply enjoy the show.

The one we flew home was going to fly on from Australia empty to the Middle East to be turned into a cargo plane. Those things were old planes, decades old possibly, and felt solid and reliable. Just a great old bird.
The DC-10's and MD-11s fell out of favor with passengers but had a long second life as cargo planes. 747s will be flying cargo for a long time to come.
I believe you are incorrect regarding scuba tanks using oxygen. They usually use compressed air.
Under 10 meter (30 feet) pure oxygen might be too rich then toxic.
It's still not chemicals. Potatoe, po tat o. 😊
he didn’t say scuba divers use oxygen he said like the tanks at Skuba dives as use.
Because the same style of tank is also used for oxygen in other professional industries. All the comments saying he’s got it wrong and not listening to what he’s saying.😂😂😂
@@turhanfTanks for the explanation.😊
(1) Scuba tanks do not contain pure oxygen. (2) Jet Lag is physiological, not psychological.
You knew?
WTFakt is actually Russian version of Be Amazed.
They working together I think.
I worked for a company once that made laser scribing machines, huge great big lumps of precision granite. Our customer wasn't prepared to wait for the finished machine to be shipped by sea, so they paid for it to be shipped from Oxford to Japan on an Antonov. I didn't get to see the send off myself, but the photos were quite a sight.
This is of no interest whatsoever to anyone.
Nineteen likes and your comment suggest otherwise @@simonlee3133. *8')
Scuba divers don’t use oxygen tanks either. They use air tanks. Sometimes with slightly different levels of oxygen and nitrogen than in normal air. But no oxygen tanks (100% oxygen). Not at all !!
Scuba divers tanks ALSO don't contain "Oxygen"!! It's compressed air.. Which has a low percentage of Oxygen in it.. But "Air" is NOT Oxygen!!
Be Amazed!
The percentage of oxygen in air is around 21%, well 20.947% actually, if you're counting.
It is compressed air. The ratio of oxygen to other gasses is the same as "ordinary" air.
I feel like there's another problem with the detachable cabin -- it only works in open space. So if you're over open water or farm fields, it could be useful, but if the area is even moderately populated, dropping the cabin could cause catastrophic results. Even some terrain might be too rough to do this safely -- mountainous areas, for instance. Plus, it wouldn't work for accidents on takeoff or landing, which make up the majority of aircraft accidents. Then you also have to consider the risk that the system itself could malfunction and cause an accident, and it starts to become pretty obvious why the technology is slow to be picked up -- if it's only effective in a small number of accidents, and also *creates* an additional accident risk beyond that of standard aircraft, it could end up being a wash or even a net negative.
also the pilots fuck them self
Great points!
My main thoughts were focused on the fuel system. From what little I understand, isn't the fuel system typically ran under the cabin and wings, almost like a loop? Isnt this why, generally speaking, once a fire catches, it'll spread immediately & be so catastrophic for a large percentage of people on board?
So, I'm REALLY curious as to how the detachable fuselage would work around the fuel system without jeopardizing the function while safe guarding from worse scenarios?
@@fadingfrost2617 Oh I don't know. It's not at all hard or difficult for me to imagine a system that avoids fuel lines intermixing with the passenger cabin. Fuel is stored in wings and engines are mounted under wings. The passenger section would be entirely separate.
The idea of modular cabins being somehow faster than either transferring passengers and cargo to a new, fully-fueled plane or just having the passengers stay on board during a required refueling on the ground is pretty silly as well.
The only scenario I can come up with where a modular plane makes sense is in the case of a small airline that does a mix of cargo and passenger flights. If modular cabins were standardized and interchangeable like shipping containers, I could see an airline with only a few plans choosing to use modular airframes and swap cabins on a per-flight basis. But even that is incredibly unlikely if the design imposes lower fuel efficiency.
@@bearnaff9387 Yeah but then you would need to have a spare modular cabin at each airport you want to fly it out of, sitting there waiting for the plane's return, collecting parking fees and taking up space. I can imagine how this would become a problem for both the airlines and airports pretty fast.
As a AVgeek I can confirm that this is completely true unlike most videos which are sadly clickbait.
I love be amazed...seriously my favorite channel on TH-cam
good useless information but never talks about the important information of this place.
After 40 years in aviation I have never heard a ground call horn that sounded like a steam locomotive!
Small correction. SCUBA cylinders contain regular air, not O2. Only if you're doing deep dives will it contain something else.
Nitrox
The top comment is accurate enough. Yeah, there's nitrox for longer bottom time on shallow dives, Trimix for deeper dives, and people using rebreather circuits. Pure oxygen is also used for decompression stops as part of technical diving.
But 99.9% of dives are done on good old compressed air.
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf.
Just so you know, scuba divers do not breathe pure oxygen. They breathe air,the same thing you’re breathing right now.
Love your announcement ❤❤
In 28 years as a aircraft line maintenance engineer I have never heard a ground call horn sound like that. 😂
The other horns are for a APU fire and Avionics cooling failure.

On some window seats, I have lifted the window armrest to give extra bum room. I always used to put the armrest down after the flight. This was mainly on newer Airbus A320 aircraft.
Put da big ol' but down dare & wiggle dat ol' bad boy aboot. 💪
I loved this video. I am already comfortable with flying, but this gives me more knowledge.
I love the seat trick on the for lifting the arm. I am disabled and it has always been hard for me to get out of the seat when going to the restroom or getting in and out. Next time I travel, I will try this.
I actually knew about that one. Back in the day when traveling on a wide body jets, 747, DC-10 or L-1011international flights were typically well under booked.. Many times the plane would be barely 20% full. There was always a center section of seats five or six across where if I were sleepy, I could go to on of those rows and flip all the arm rests up and out of the way, allowing me to lie flat across, like a bed.. During the 1970s, once you were in the air in a mostly empty plane, the crew didn't care where you sat.
Yes, me too, I often wondered about this, but no one ever shows you. I'm a wheelchair user btw. Next time I will surprise my husband, who always spends ages riving at it like men do, and just click flip - and really annoy him for the rest of the day! After 50 years of marriage, you take your 'wins' when you can get them!!!!!!
Ouch! Divers dont use oxygen tanks. It’s compressed air and we even add nitrogen for deeper or longer diving
Nitrox has more oxygen and less nitrogen than air. It is to save on decompression requirements for nitrogen saturation. However one should not go too deep in order to prevent oxygen poisoning which occurs at higher than normal partial pressures of oxygen. The numbers are available in manuals
I know what airline I’ll be riding from now on
(That intro was so smooth)
First time here and subscribing. No annoying music clickbait or boring narrative. Others can learn from this site.
I seem to remember that all of the armrests could be moved up.
I once flew on a mostly empty flight and I was able to lay across all the seats like a bed
Most. Not all.

Hello Be amazers!!!
On military cargo aircraft, the horn is used in emergencies to let the passengers know to evacuate the aircraft.
Another reason the detachable cabin for emergencys is pointless, more than 90% of plane crashes take place duing takeoff/landing. In those cases having the cabin break away that close to the ground, might actually make things worse.
hi
Informative... thank you!
Vladimir Tatarenko's idea:
Detachable cabin!
Pilot's:im dead💀
Such a relief!
You forgot to mention the secret bedroom that every plane has for their flight attendants 😁
Very few have that option. Normally long distance aircraft, and it is used by all the flight crew.
@@robertheinkel6225 Most modern long-haul aircraft have it. Not all flight crew use it, there's usually a space up front for the pilot/copilot/engineer/etc... and one towards usually the rear that is for flight attendants, separate areas.
Age of an aircraft does matter. Aluminum has a fatigue limit meaning it wears out over time and will eventually crack/break.
I did catch a sky marshal while on duty. It took me a minute to process that he was a government official.
That's not quite how tail numbers work in the US. They are like license plates, with custom numbers only available on request and they must follow a specific format. Airlines may try to get tail numbers that follow some arbitrary preference, but it's just as feasible for an antique Piper Cub to have that number instead. Some private owners change numbers just to have one that is easier to say over the radio or has personal meaning, like an anniversary date or initials. There may be no more than 5 characters after the N, with at least the first being a number and only the last two having the option of being letters, e.g. N1, N12345, N1A, N123AZ, with letters I and O not allowed.
And in other coutries the tail numbers also work diferently. He forgot to menshion that aswell
the plane in the thumbnail is so happy
Scuba divers do NOT use oxygen filled tanks. They are filled with compressed air.
Nice video! When you travel west (back in time), it should be called "Jet Lead", since you're leading in time. One of the most irritating things is when someone walking down the aisle during the night grabs and yanks your seatback while passing. I avoid it unless I lose my balance.
Planes are equipped with tons of stuff to help you survive whether in PLANE sight or not😂
As someone who works as groundcrew and regulary talks with the captain you'd be amazed of alot of converstations I have with them and they with each other.
Updated Air Marshals if they travel in pairs one usually sits in the front and the other sits in the back
I wish airlines would emphasize that the middle seater is supposed to have priotiry over both the middle armrests, since aisle or window seats have their own benefits.
I wish three abreast seating was wider but that doesn't mean it will happen
Well, it has to be safer as it used to be when everyone had to sit on each others face's.
Ok. This vid came up on my playlist and I like listening to slightly interesting but not too interesting stuff to go to sleep (yes, I know - a little nutty). Anyway, it was interesting enough that I felt the need to watch (I normally place my phone face down under the pillow). Ok, I thought. Same old same old. Stock footage and a narration. Check. I have this channel’s number. But then, I notice something. The passage discussing the horn in a plane has a photo of the actual button. And again, a different plane, different button but crucially for my attention, the RIGHT button both times. A small thing but I’ve underestimated these people, even though I’m not now going to fall asleep in a matter of minutes like usual. Subscribed. Attention to detail like this gives me confidence the content is not just the usual clickbait.
Side note, Oxygen Candles are used in Submarines to produce Oxygen, as well
Oh nice I’m pretty early
Plane horn goes off, guy next to the airport: oh, I think my train is here.
Sorry, scuba diving tanks are not full of oxygen, they are full of air.
🤓 🤓 🤓
Oxygen is toxic and deadly when under pressure!
Oxygen Candles do make Oxygen but not under high pressure and it’s mixed with Nitrogen in some instances, it’s always evolving.
Never been scuba diving, but from what I heard, it's a mixture of gases depending on the depth of your dive, right?
Lol!! I LOVE comments that appear to be smartassed BUT are actually correct or serve some purpose
Oxygen vs Air
"Oxygen just contains oxygen. Air, however, contains a variety of elements and other substances, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, methane, neon, krypton, hydrogen, xenon, iodine, and more."
Here before 300 commenta
I never realized the curve on the overhead compartment was a handrail!
C-141 and C-130 are two versatile airplanes. Both can be used for cargo or a combination of cargo and passengers or cargo and aeromedical evacuation. Just remember an airplane taking fresh vegetables and fruit to Alaska are going to be cold!
Age is not a number. Age is a word!
Yes
The isle tips are good for someone who always sits at the isle (I will watch this again when I go on a plane again)
I already knew about the short time on the oxygen masks. Up to 14 minutes you're either saved or dead or soon to be dead, after the crash.
Plus the older planes and the not so black boxes.
the horn on the airplane sounds like a train horn :0
I have never heard a ground-crew call horn that sounds like the " Staten Island Ferry"!!
I'm glad that age is just a number ONLY in the airplane world
7:10 Actually, SCAT Airlines operates the Antonov An-2, which is older than the Boeing 737-200. Correct me if i am wrong!
Like the DC-3, the AN-2 is one of the "Grand Old Ladies" of aviation. Rugged, reliable and still serving. 😎👍

In all honesty i loved the intro today lol
It was amazing :)
Edit: 23:42
Lmao the rest if the plane in the background XD
It really just went *”WEEEEEEEEE! AAAA- *explodes*”*
17:52 the Airbus A350 actually has a range of 16777216 colours to choose from. This is because every colour is assigned the same unique 6-digit hexadecimal code as the ones used for determining page colour, font colour, etc in HTML.
The detachable cabin is the worst idea, 1. it would most likely kill the passengers and 2. it will always kill the pilots
Amen.
Literally.
Why would it kill the pilots?
@@JulianJLW Because the dramatic change in weight and aerodynamics of the plane would make it uncontrollable
I think that they just hit a button that jets them out and then they parachute down.
@@hapi705 Bruh, look at how many planes fly everyday, all those planes have need at least 4 very expensive jettison seats with parachutes with cabins that are able to open all the way instantly and all pilots would have to be trained how to do this and how it will feel. Plus when the passengers get detached they wouldn't have any air, water, energy until they reached the ground, which would be a long time because of the surface area and the parachutes. The fuselage would also go upright and make everyone fall the one side and crush each other.

you forgot one important bit about the tires, they are filled with nitrogen not oxygen because it doesn't expand and explode the tire inflight
Well, I am not aware of any tires being filled with oxygen, but yeah, they often use nitrogen.
Air Marshals are NEVER referred to as Sky Marshals. Thats a former FAA Organization pre 911 of only a few folks. Also, they do sit togeather at times and sit in front of the plane because duty is to protect the flight deck, no engage passengers blocking the way to the cockpit.
Air Marshals ARE referred to as Sky Marshals. Maybe not officially, but people that don't know, or more importantly don't care if there is a difference, sometime do refer to them as Sky Marshals.
YEESS ANOTHER VIDEO
Edit: XD I'm running out of content to watch so every next video is a good sight.
Wow.
airplane tires are also filled with Nitrogen and not air ... as Nitrogen heats up less than air does . Detachable cabin sounds interesting ...
And also during fire, tired do not provide more oxygen to feed the fire.
6:21 to 6:44 is more applicable to the USA I think, with aircraft registered in other countries following other naming systems e.g. BA's A380s' tail no. start with 'G-X' followed by 3 alphabets while SIA's A380s start with '9V-SK' followed by 1 alphabet, while its A350s start with '9V-SM' followed by 1 alphabet. Also Taiwan/the ROC is the only territory I've seen so far that requires its tail no. ('B-' followed by 5 digits) to be written on the front of the fuselage too
I had No idea planes had horns 😮 Pretty wicked sound as well! Fascinating video as ever, cheers Be Amazed 😊
The moveable aisle armrest is only partially a safety feature. I doubt you will ever see it mentioned in a flight attendant safety demonstration but use of the arm rest release button may help prevent a gouged leg when getting out of your seat. On the other hand, if you leave it up to gain room, you might get your elbow struck by the beverage cart. A bit of a trade off.
“The an-225” shows the an-124. Also it’s Mriya not Mariah. Say triple 7 instead of seven seven seven and also there is no such thing as a tarmac, it’s just the runway and taxiway
It showed a 4-engined Antonov and then a 6-engined one as if they were the same plane.
@@JulianJLWbut the thing is that they are not the same plane
@@cerealeggvr6942 Yes, that was exactly my point, that the video shows a plane with 4 engines and a plane with 6 engines (which clearly can't be the same plane!) as if they were the same plane.
Tarmac or tarmacadam is a road construction technique that used a mixture of tar (or asphalt) over crushed rock. Most modern airports and many roads use concrete, with or without a "protective" covering of tar or asphalt, but in the early days of flight tarmac was easier to lay down for runways and, much later, taxiways to hangers and airline terminals. Suggest you be less pedantic and simply enjoy the show.
