Yeah well the ones on planes are tailored for your average 80 year old or 5 year old to not be offended or put at fear This video is the shit, the low down, it's like "hey dude I know you're an adult who can take a couple of unsettling concepts and still be alright on the other side of the video" I prefer the down to earth stuff, rather than the rose-tinted "oh you'll be fine, you can't complain if you're already dead" stuff lol
Well yeah, probably because they assume its PR flim-flam more 'Elf an Safely gone mad'. Get a spiel like this and if you're bright you're not only going to rememeber it - You're going to want to fly with a pilot like this again because you don't just figure he knows his job - Now you trust him!
@@saucylight to be totally honest... no I didn't. First and up until now the only time I flew was last year and I did not pay full attention to that video
They should make it more entertaining. The entertaining ones I watch at least once. But after that, when I've heard the damn thing 4 times in the last 24 hours, it's more annoying than informative.
Right?! I wish we could shed all the 'soft language' we have to comb through in society. Especially with dealing with customer service or technical support. I swear, you can be on the phone with them for a half-hour and only about 4 minutes of it is actually productive.
@@xaenon Having done technical support, I can tell you I always wished the same thing. But just giving the bare bones information sadly upsets a lot of customers. All the social niceties were really annoying to have to get through, but without it, too many customers feel like they were treated rudely. Really sucks. As a customer I can't stand all the extra talk, either. "Just tell me what to click on, Mister, I don't need you to ask me about my day or tell me how glad you are that I chose to be a customer!"
@@janejames6430 I've actually asked CS reps to drop the canned fluff and speak to me like they're NOT at work. The won't. One admitted to me they literally are not allowed to. I just cannot imagine who would want to be mollycoddled like that. A caller is literally treated like an infant.
So true, they should tell us always the truth and be realistic not talk like a robot 🤖 and give some false info that won't actually help much in danger, that's also how it will make people to actually listen and care about the safety instructions! 😖 I could finally understand it..
Liz Moon soo, you cannot make a case for the current safety videos being false! Also, they’re literally made to be understood and are reeeaally simple to follow along - what this video did was telling you to visualize it. Do that the next time you board an aircraft.
I was always a nervous flyer with little tolerance for turbulence. Then on a flight descending into ATL in a small jet we hit awful turbulence with a sudden hard drop. Worst turbulence I ever experienced. Everything not secured hit the ceiling (fortunately only minor injuries). It scared the hell out of me, but the plane clearly took it in its stride. Didn’t seem to care at all. And ever since I’ve not worried about the wings falling off and turbulence is much easier to cope with.
@@2ooo5 my best friend is getting married in 2021 in a different country and I already have anxiety about the flight. I don't think people appreciate how difficult it can be for us nervous flyers lol
I’ve been a flight attendant for 31 years. I love this video. It is blatantly and hilariously true, whilst also respecting us. 90 seconds is what we are trained to get you out if there’s an emergency. We’re also CPR and AED qualified. Keep your arms and legs out of the aisle whilst we drag that 300 pound cart at an incline. Wear your seatbelt. Turbulence is a very serious thing. You’re more likely to be injured from turbulence than anything else. Most important: don’t grunt or feel inconvenienced when we block off the lavatories when the pilots need them. They are the most important people on the plane!
Also pilots don't have time to brief passengers in an emergency. They're way too busy diagnosing the problem, descending to a safe altitude, notifying ATC and the airline of their situation, and troubleshooting to be able to talk with the passengers.
My dad was flying in the 80s and he theorized they hit a goodly patch of CAT and the aircraft dropped a good amount without any warning. He said he never had his seatbelt on during cruise before then, but did that day. His friend bashed his head on the ceiling, but all that happened to him was catching two glasses of soda out of the air without spilling more than a few drops. He keeps it on for the whole flight to this day. Wear your seatbelts, kids.
First, thankyou. Second, I'm glad you have the safest seats. I've always worried that they weren't as safe as passenger seats, and this is reassuring. I'm happy to know that when I fly, the safest seats are occupied by the people who are best trained to save lives in an emergency. :)
Potter's Police, Security and Railway videos did... did you just say the pilots don’t need to use the restroom? They’re humans too yknow. They have bodily functions like the rest of us and most Passenger Jets don’t have lavatories in the cockpit
They should actually let you know in the safety leaflet that if we lose cabin air pressure, and then do a nose dive, that we are not actually falling to our death. That would be more helpful than showing us that your life vests have a fancy whistle attached.
@@finbarrsaunders8688 thankyou for that correction it was very helpful as nobody would have known what on earth I had meant if I accidentally used two Os instead of one. So thanks for pointing that out, very good contribution 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yeah, people loosing their minds about things that almost never happen, but at the same time totally ignore every day dangers they're used to. Irrational priorities.
@@ianmoseley9910 Random story, I used to drive a cab and one morning I was taking a guy to the airport. Out of nowhere a big rig clips a deer crossing the road and it flew right in front of me, I was gonna hit it. I braced myself and said hold on sir to my passenger and....a little bump, I must have missed it. Pulling up to the departure terminal which was packed with people, everybody just shut up (shat up?) and stared at my cab. I had a bad feeling, getting out of the cab the drivers side was fine as I walked around the cab to open my passengers door I realized the whole passenger side was misted in the poor deer's vital fluid. It looked like I had mowed down a bunch of Nuns. I started to panic and was like no, i haven't done anything wrong, act natural. I got my passengers luggage out of the trunk, opened his door and told him how much the fair was, He looked at me and said, "Your just going to act like nothing is wrong?" Now looking at the horror show that was my passenger side. "Well that's the plan until i can get to a car wash." He paid and I left the airport quickly finding a car wash almost immediately and cleansing that poor animals mortal coil from my car. I hope you enjoyed my random and now I realize somewhat gruesome story.
RunPJs I expect most nervous flyers are pretty much there with the safety video anyway. Putting in the video at least gives them prior warning for if it does happen (on the rare chance that is). Knowing what’s going on in such a dramatic move would be much better than having no idea why your plane is going into an emergency dive
@@connorhill1247 Exactly. Even if you don't go into details, they should at least MENTION that the plane will make a steep dive to reach more breathable air. Don't have to give specifics or explain just how dramatic a maneuver it really is, just something so that passengers don't feel a crazy nose-dive and immediately interpret it as the plane being out of control.
Yes! I knew about the passing out but the emergency dive is new. People would freak out thinking that they are crashing. Imagine a passenger with a weak heart.
A message like this treats the passengers like grown-ups who can handle the truth, educating and empowering them, unlike those superficial, "don't distress them" messages we actually get. I learned so much
TheDrills NLV Kim is correct - you inflate it in the cabin or water. Seriously though:think. If you are in the cabin and it’s filling with water, an inflated lifejacket will 100% prevent you diving down to get out of a submerged exit. They don’t brief on it for fun, even if nobody listens.
That's a ridiculous thing to say. The chance of death from premature lifejacket inflation is significantly increased while trying to escape from a flooded aircraft cabin, but it is not certain that one will die from that.
SMOKEU So do you think saying - as they mostly do - “do not inflate the jacket until you have left the aircraft” is paid attention to? I’ve watched more safety videos than had hot dinners, and agree with the thrust of this video. Don’t get me started on the jokey ones that are the rage now.
Mentioning the fact plane is going to make a nosediving right after the oxygen masks appear would actually be pretty useful because I imagine that would be fucking terrifying
I have SEVERE flight anxiety and have to take valium pre--flight. This eased SO many of my worries/fears and honestly is comforting. Thank you for this psa!
I have had panic attacks (2 only) in the plane, in what I understand (even during the attack) are COMPLETELY SAFE SITUATIONS (turbulence, unpredicted change of seats). I knew most of this info before I started suffering from the flight related anxiety, but consciously knowing doesn't really stop me from being anxious. But Xanax does. YAAAAAAAY. I really make an effort to be a breezy chill passager whenever I can't take the medication but it's so hard tho.
Because stupid people will think they’ve just picked a bad airline and they will die. Real flight videos make everything seem calm whereas this guy tells you what actually happens. They don’t wanna lose customers by speaking about that. But that’s just my take. Idk either lol
@@user-rf4vc7mt4d would be iconic that after the bankruptcies of the virus leads to a new "no BS" airline that took this approach... would be an interesting experiment
that's because you didn't pay attention to the safety videos (well provided that the airlines you fly is actually a good one). Also these information should be readily available anywhere including your airlines' website, you don't need to be spoonfed everything.
@@herlinahalim2891 They could just make a clean version of this and play it instead then. The real reason is because it would scare people, or make people lose faith in the industry.
I have huge respect for you cabin crew, pilots, co pilots, ground team, desk staff. You do an incredible job and deserve better pay and conditions. I always listen to the safety message.

@@IronWarhorsesFun People drown in cars because they cannot undo their seatbelts because the force of the crash broke the internal mechanics and it is stuck. Lever system doesn't have this problem and is therefor more reliable.
Did they at least tell you to immediately go to your seat in that case? If so, you're safe enough, though knowing the dive is coming could avoid _you_ panicking, too.
Being in a crashing plane: Panik Remembering you are way more likely to be killed by a lightning bolt or shark than a plane crash: Kalm Looking out the window and seeing you're about to crash in the ocean during a storm: *Panik*

@@bman7346 Planes have been struck by lightning before, infact it happens much more commonly than you think, nothing happens in like (lemme count) pretty much ALL times it happened tho so dont worry about it
I’m a recreational pilot. And I think that this is probably the best video I’ve ever heard. I’ve also travelled many times commercially. And enjoy flying. I think that all airlines domestic and international should adopt this type of video.
Comment from actual Boston pilot: “uh, so sorry about that rough landing everybody, it wasn’t the planes fault, it wasn’t the pilots fault, It was the asphalt……” you just had to be there I guess lol
I got scared, but... I always get scared. I know the statistics and how much safer it is than the car, but since I experienced some pretty scary turbulences couple of years ago, I can't help it.
Because it gives you a feeling that flying is dangerous and will require you to fight for your life. If you look up statistics on plane crashes you will find out that the chances of you actually being in one are basically zero.
As a fighter pilot and airline pilot, I’ve been wanting to give this PA for 30 years! I would add that turbulence is just like boating through waves; and I promise, the wings will not fall off! Nice job!
If you can promise the wings won't fall off due to turbulence, you're either lying, or you're not a pilot at all. Aircraft have been known to break apart in flight due to turbulence. It's extremely unlikely but it DOES happen. And before you say I'm an armchair pilot, I do actually fly.
SMOKEU - Wow. Haters gonna hate, huh? Today’s commercial airliners, and I have flown 727, S-80, 757, 767, and currently fly the 777, go through Static testing to deflect the wing all the way to the point of failure . Most of these wings will deflect nearly 90 degrees before they break. My purpose in responding to this video was to reassure nervous flyers and make the idea of flying (and civilization in general) a little bit better. You obviously subscribe to tearing people down and making it worse. I hope you find peace.
@@troykehoe6153 I was simply correcting an obvious false statement. It had nothing to do with "tearing people down" as you insist. It's well known that wings DO fall off aircraft on very rare occasions and to state otherwise is blatantly false, especially coming from someone with specialized knowledge of aircraft such as yourself. You should have said that it's extremely unlikely for wings to fall off, not impossible. There is a HUGE difference between those two statements.
SMOKEU - sorry, you called me a liar or a fraud, or possibly both. To clarify, I never said impossible - I don’t buy into catastrophizing and trying to normalize 1 in 100 billion chance events. If my family and I were in a severe storm, and my kids were scared, I would promise them they would be ok too. Or, should I tell them there is a 1 in 1 million chance that a tornado could spawn over our house tearing us all to shreds?
SMOKEU - to put statistics in perspective, an MIT professor ran the numbers and you can fly every single day, for 186,000 YEARS, and expect not to die on a western commercial airline. So, I am pretty solid with my promise...
The mental preparation techniques involving counting the seats between yourself and the exit and practicing opening and closing your seatbelt were incredibly helpful.
I guess that depends on what you consider an accident. Not every mishap will crash the plane or terminate the flight. Case in point - an improperly latched overhead compartment causing baggage to land on passengers would be an accident and would most likely happen at the beginning of the flight.
Well, we should have an automatic message while the fast descent for pressurisation saying "We are descending for breathable air, there is no need to worry, this is a procedure protocol, we are NOT in danger" or something like that
Some aircrafts are equipped with exactly this. It’s called a PRAM. Pre-recorded announcement. But in cases of rapid or explosive decompression, your brain only has seconds to decipher information normally before hypoxia sets in, you lose cognitive function and fine motor skills, and pass out. That’s why it’s imperative that you put on your oxygen mask as quickly and correctly as possible, BEFORE helping others (or you’re essentially useless).
Hanging with my Gnomes Would be useless. In case of depressurization at a high altitude you have around 15 seconds to but on your mask before you pass out due to there being no oxygen... It’s easier to drop the mask down with no message because people will just put them on instead of waiting for a message.
@@boass Exactly this. In the case that some people aren't panicking, they will end up waiting and listening to the announcement instead of actually putting on their masks.
@@boassIs the 15 seconds a fact, or your own guess? I am wondering because I can hold my breath for 30 seconds to a minute, which is no oxygen at all, and still stay conscious.
This was really good. I was expecting some snarky video trash talking the airlines and telling people if there’s a crash they’re all screwed. But instead there was actually some really good info on here. Well done!
Same, I think the problem is not just the legal boxes but also the PC culture. I would really like to have the pilot tell me just how fucked up it is, instead of covering up in boring PC correct language. I believe a lot more people paid attention because of the words used to explain the raw gravity of the situation, but as always we have to remain Politically Correct above everything, even if your life depends on it.
@@ggurks No, that is all correct information. This is getting passed around the industry and everyone I talked to all agree this is the briefing we should be giving. Airlines are all about liability not safety. There is absolutely no sane world in which lap children should be allowed. Every baby that is being held is dead if we have even a minor incident. The only reason they are allowed is because in the 70s when they wrote the rules there wasn't enough approved car seats.
Makes sense - while trying to get that huge thing up in the air and while trying to land it - it's like taking a bath in the bathtub - Everything is a-okay while sitting in the tub - it's getting in and out that's the problem, not strokes while in the bathtub.
@@simonfrederiksen104 your so right, I have done absailing before, anyone that's done it will tell you, that the hardest part is the very start while starting the lean over the ledge, trusting the ropes and safety protocols.
What really helps? Buying a large pack of Webster's hard caramels and always having one in your mouth for the entire duration of the flight. Also some country musci (if you hate it) works wonders. If not, go for Bruno Mars (if you like it).
I genuinely expected this to be clickbait garbage... but I actually learned something. I will definitely keep the earbuds out for the first and last 10 minutes to be more conscious. Thank you.
Generally, airline pilots are incredibly well trained for emergencies due to the fact that the plane practically flies itself for most of the trajectory.
Being in the Navy, this is how the military explains things, more or less. Blunt and to the point. It's smarter to get this info sooner than later, and not rely soley on firemen/emergency services to save our skins.
The problem is the video they normally play is designed so they are not liable for a few things. Pretty sure the captain got fired or a warning for that speech.
Ah, correction: The passengers putting on the life vests early, or inside the plane, is NOT the problem. The problem is that they Inflated the damn things inside the fuselage! Don't do that! Get out, then inflate!
Ya know, as a person with extreme anxiety, I expected to leave with an even further fear of flying. Instead I left with anticipation for my next flight
I've been in one of those emergency dives before. Let me tell you, the lucky ones are the ones who didn't get oxygen and passed out through the dive. Us wakers thought we were legit gonna die.
Also, if you lose cabin pressure at cruising altitude, expect a lot of condensation to happen in the fuselage, with visibility dropping to nada almost instantly. Not that you need to see farther than where your breathing mask is dangling...
Fun fact: there are no flights over Tibet range, unless it's to the capital of Tibet. The reason is that the mountain range is higher than the altitude the plane needs to descent to. So if you get depressurized over Tibet mountains, you have about 20 minutes of air worth before you suffocate.
Military training: “when making a vital point, curse and the recruits will remember.” He is probably ex-military. Don’t take it personally. Now, what did he say about the overhead bins? -> See?
OMG THANK YOU! What you described - losing pressure and the nose dive - that happened to me 25 years ago. No one would tell me what happened, only that we didn't die, which wasn't reassuring. Not knowing was far worse than "we depressurized and I had to get us to a point where we could breathe... sorry for scaring you." That's all I needed. Seriously, thanks so much!

Wow dude, I almost never comment on TH-cam, in fact this this my second because you soooooo deserve it. This is a REALLY great informative video. One of the best I ever came across. Thank you.
*"crashes"* yes. He said "accidents". They are what causes the crashes. Over 70% of all fatal plane crashes happen because of something before the flight. Over 25% because of damage added to the plane during maintenance.
There’s a few situations-midair collisions, bombs on board, inflight fires-involving fatalities even before people come into contact with the ground. Of course, what’s left of the plane still crashes, even if someone manages to survive what brought the plane down in the first place.
I'm involved in training aircraft mechanics. I can help you with the question at around 5:36 - it's because the things in the cabin (like the AV system and the latches) are way way down the priority list. The things actually required for safe flight are in a list called the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and it stipulates what can and cannot be broken when the aircraft takes off.
@@garlckbread It's likely a priority list that has to be fulfilled in the set amount of time. It could be that fixing a door handle didn't happen because they were busy troubleshooting electronics longer than expected.
@@garlckbread The minimum requirements are set sensibly after adequate testing and measurement during the certification process. Here's the MEL for a 747 if you're curious: fsims.faa.gov/wdocs/mmel/b-747-400_r28.pdf Typically things can be broken but you can fly with them subject to certain limitations. For example, if you look at ATA 74 (ignition) section -00-1 on page 220, there are 8 ignition systems fitted to the aircraft (2 per engine x 4 engines). It is permissible to dispatch the aircraft with one faulty ignition system in each engine (so 4 total out of 8) provided that the nacelle anti-ice system on the affected engines are operational, the Ignition Selector switch in the cockpit is positioned to ensure ignition to all engines using the remaining functional ignition systems, and, for Pratt & Whitney (PW) and Rolls Royce (RR) engines, at least two out of the four engines are verified to have an operational No.1 ignition system before each flight (i.e. the other two engines are permitted to have a faulty #1 ignition system and functional #2 system - but at least two of the engines must have a functional #1 ign system). The idea here is that you are highly unlikely to need a functioning backup ignition system in-flight unless the engines flame-out due to icing or severe weather conditions. And since #1 ignition system is more important than #2 on PW and RR engines, there are more restrictions on how many #1 systems can fail (basically if you summarise it, the plane can take off with up to four failed #2 systems, but only up to 2 failed #1 systems). If your 747 has General Electric (GE) engines there's no such restriction on #1 vs. #2 failures, you can have any combination of 4 failures (though obviously not two on the same engine because then it wouldn't start lol). Most things on the aircraft are duplicated or triplicated for redundancy - for example a 737 has at least two of each type of radio (Com, Nav, VHF, ATC, GPS, ADF, HF, SATCOM etc.), two gyros (ahem, I mean inertial navigation systems), three autopilots, two hydraulic systems, two fuel pump groups per tank (x 2 wing tanks and one center tank = 6 pump groups total), three bleed air sources (two main engines and one APU), four electrical sources (two engine generators and two APU generators) plus 45 minutes of battery backup power for the most critical systems like navigation, emergency lights and black boxes... When you start getting into ETOPS aircraft (Extended Twin Engine Operations - aka "Engines Turning or People Swimming" - aka very long flights over vast oceans with only two engines on the plane), the built-in redundancy is even greater. For example, a Boeing 777 has nine hydraulic sources! (Two pumps driven mechanically by the engines, four driven electrically by whatever electric source is operational, two backup pumps driven by bleed air pressure, and one driven by the ram-air turbine (RAT) - which is a little windmill that pops out of the side of the fuselage and generates power from the wind speed when things get really, really, REALLY desperate). If the in flight-entertainment system is broken, there's no backup and it won't really affect flight safety unless it catches fire and fills the cabin with smoke - in which case the pilots can cut power to it ;)
TL;DR :there are triple backups and so they can takeoff with one backup non-functioning provided they meet certain other requirements. They cannot takeoff with one of everything that is allowed to be broken actually broken, only certain combos and a maximum total number of the allowed items, may also have other limits imposed like the forecast weather needs to be better or fuel burn recalculated.
If the flight entertainment is broken it wont catch fire because non-functional equipment is required to be dissconected/disabled by a mechanic before takeoff.
No joke, this is possibly the best video I've ever watched about safety in air travel. I would fly exclusively on any airline with the stones to produce and show a video with these facts and themes.
@Bradley Wang "Jesus Christ you're so deplorable." If you're taking your morals from Christianity you might want to hear what the Bible has to say about taking God's name in vain.
I’m only a student pilot and we learn the same stuff such as pitching the plane toward the ground for the never exceed speed and what to do in different emergency situations. The FAA has everyone in the sky learn stuff like this to ensure that everyone is being safe no matter if you’re a student, private, instrument, or commercial pilot.
@@scraggybear I'd say listen to the engines and look out the window at the equipment. If the engines sound to be failing, worry, if you see a piece of aircraft missing... worry! If the plane is falling in an uncontrollable spiral, worry! Otherwise, masks deployed, plane nose-dives, engines are running properly (even if only to ramp down), mask up, reserve your panic and observe carefully.
Hi! I would live to do a video with this video as a background for discussion. Can you please respond to this message and let me know if that would be ok? Thank you!
As Frankie Boyle said, "In the unlikely event of a loss a cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling and untangling them will annoy you before you die" 👀
I was on a flight where all of them dropped while we still on the ground, around the time they closed the doors iirc. they dropped and it was hilariously sad to watch the flight crew try to put them all back, they finally ended up duct taping one closed :D. knowing how "helpful" they are it makes a lot more sense why it was treated so nonchalantly.
@@NogrimStoneson Is this story true? If the masks are dropped, all of them must be inspected, replaced as needed, and repacked. Where I'm from they have to maintain below a certain amount of failure to drop rates in three consecutive deployments before the system is serviceable. If any of the passengers pulled the masks down the valves for the breathing oxygen would open or they would activate the chemical oxygen generators which would have to be replaced or refilled and tested to be deemed serviceable.
I was on a flight where the attendant going through the presentation said, “ ….masks will drop from the ceiling, once you stop screaming, put the mask on your face first and then help the person next to you.” Everyone laughed.

@@juicenot2481 I guess that's why they use other ways to explain the safety protocols, which lightens the mood and makes it easier to take in without the worries of something happening every other second because of slight turbulence. I love how Japan Airlines uses a short Kabuki themed video to explain airplane safety and what to do in emergencies !
I was slightly afraid this was going to be conspiratorial, or that it would be super depressing, but I actually found it a lot more comforting. It gets you the facts. It lets you know that your pilot knows what they're doing.
In eight years of watching youtube, probably the best air travel safety video I've seen. Loved the pilot's presentation and attitude. Seems he has had enough with dumb arrogant people.
Drunken ass pirates in the 1800s: "woah this loose cannon is dangerous, we should stop it rolling around and killing people" Modern era flights: "haha drink trolley go whoooosh"
The part about the oxygen masks, emergency descent, and delay in announcement of what's going on should be a standard part of the actual safety presentation. If I'm ever on a plane when that happens, I won't think I'm about to die.
I guess it was about consumer trust and denying fear, to be able to promote a business. Considering the times before jet airliners, it wasn't as safe, people probably didn't trust those things as much as today. Hindenburg airship is a good example to how people didn't fully trust flying. Where as nowadays, I agree that people can tolerate more of the hard facts instead of the "soft facts"
This part actually made memore scared of flights because Im a person who doesnt enjoy rapid descents like in rollercoasters. So now that I know that this sht might happen im both grateful but as well terrified, because I know that rollercoaster dive is about to occur and I might pass the fuck out.
@@115DELDE Being in a rollercoaster and being in an aeroplane feels very different. (ive been on flights and rollercoasters a LOT) In an airplane, If you were to block out the windows and ignore that you know you're moving, it would feel, like things were just rumbling, and you were, depending if ur going up or down, feeling heavier or lighter. I'd think, in case a dive would happen, which is explained is a very rare case, more so than car accidents, all you would feel is just suddenly getting really light, (which could be a bit fun lmao, being able to almost float for a few secs, but thats my opinion) and, you wouldn't feel any pull backwards, or the wind blowing, because essentially, you're safer inside, ((also physics)). If you wanna see more about plane drops, id recommend looking up the stuff about 0G airplane flights on this site, its really facinating. - Also, a chance of something happening wont mean it will just happen on your next flight. All this information is a big "in case it does" like how you put on your seatbelt in your car, top up on extra fuel and face a baby seat the right way round, even if you dont need to because all your journeys are safe. It's only because when it matters, it makes a difference.
@@crystalrain3334 I've been on dozens of flights, and multiple roller coasters. The sensation I have of a "fall" or controlled dive (in the case of flying) is the same for me. Any rollercoaster that does not have a shoulder-over-the-head-restraint and has a drop, scares me. Those types of rollercoasters that secure you by the waist, just like a seatbelt dont make me feel lighter of give me a sensation of flight, it pulls me down with force to the point where I can pass out even of a silly ride like Space Mountain (any of the U.S versions of that ride). So, when the pilot said that "in case of an extreme emergency I will nose dive" with a stronger force than a rollercoaster, I know that I'm going to pass out. I don't do well with drops on rollercoasters. xD
Why should it be?! People would still not listen to it... They even won‘t listen to scientific facts about COVID-19 and mask and still won‘t wear them... So why would they believe THIS?!
As someone who used to fly a lot but is now fairly nervous about it, this somehow makes me feel better, way better than an actual pre-flight instructional video.
@@CJEnglert I was coming into San Francisco decades ago. The approach is across water, and the runway is built on land fill. It is, I'll admit, disconcerting to descend into the bay! I was on the window side, and watched as the water got closer, and then there was land, and then the airplane launched at 80 degrees! It was an instant roller coaster uplift! After a moment the pilot came on and said in that absolute deadpan voice, "Another plane turned onto the runway in front of us; we're going to take another lap and try it again." Pucker factor? ALL IN! When I calmed down, I realized that our pilot was a boss! We weren't quite heading straight up, but with that acceleration we were a rocket! God bless the pilots! Yes, things can go wrong. But the guy that's flying the plane has boots in the game and 10,000 hours minimum in the pilot's seat. Damn fine folk! Fifteen minutes later, as we were taxing to the terminal, he said, "Thank you for flying with us, and be careful when opening the overhead compartments. With the stunt I had to pull sure as shit everything has shifted." Honesty to the veterans. We laughed. We were careful.
this is gold. this is what youtube should be. i travel twice a year but i’m scared of the takeoff as hell. use to love it, but just can’t get those clips i’ve seen from plane crashes outta my head. but it’s just a psychological thing, and these videos make me feel safer. thank you!
"don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a bit. i'm just doing my job and you're going to be fine." as someone who suffers from paranoia and anxiety, hearing that made feel... calm. in the event when that actually happens, i'll probably be sitting there calmly while everyone around me is panicking. can you be my pilot or something? 😂
Pilots have to go through thousands upon thousands of hours of flying to get to the stage where they can fly large passenger planes. Trust your pilot, they know what they're doing.
Scarlet Yeehaw well it just makes sense... if stuff is bothering you, don’t let it bother you and set irrational thoughts aside. That’s what I do and it’s what everyone should do.
Pilot! And I can tell you that... ...actually that is all true. The safely briefing is basically a legal box checking exercise. I'd love to give this briefing.
Well I don’t fully agree with an emergency descent feeling like a roller coaster. The planes acceleration will not feel that heavy. Also the pilot may inform the cabin pretty fast by informing the cabin crew a emergency decent is occurring. They can relay this to the passengers.
@@matthijs8888 The push over is going to rotate the aircraft pretty quick. A push over in a Cessna is no big deal but in an airliner anyone in the front or back is going to be thrown around. It is all to do with distance from the point of rotation. Add that to not being able to see exactly what is happening and it will feel very violent even when it is not. Also I have not seen a single SOP where the pilot would inform the cabin. In fact, every SOP I have seen explicitly instructs the pilots not to establish communications with the cabin crew. They are trained to know what to do: get their mask on and try to tell everyone else to put theirs on.
From a manufacturer's perspective, we don't care about the interior as much as the mechanics of the aircraft. Interiors has a lot of little fixes to make it look good or make it work correctly like adding a spot of glue to a carpet that won't stay down. Working parts are a different story. If there is a scratch measuring .003 inches in depth it must be fixed with engineering sign off. That's about what your fingernail can catch on. That's a damage tolerance limit for even tiny brackets that hold wires. Critical equipment often has even tighter tolerances such as bearing surfaces mating within .0005 inches that are hand installed or certain bolts require being torqued in a pattern with a record of what torque each bolt was tightened to, including retorque. Smudge mark on a sidewall in the cabin? Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No joke, we don't care about your interiors beyond it looking nice. It won't bring down the plane.
Helios airways flight 522 is a good example for what will happen when there is no adequate reaction to a cabin pressure issue. For those who do not know; that plane crashed because of all people on board got unconcious.
I've bungee jumped and sky dived a lot... bring it on weeeeee! Best safety video ever, I genuinely feel more control over possible emergency situations, thank you.
I had no idea the pilots will put the plane in a “safety dive” if the cabin loses pressure. If I was on a plane that went into a nose dive and the oxygen masks dropped down I’d be 100% convinced I was about to die
The built in oxygen masks have a built in bottle of oxygen or produces oxygen chemically. These do not last forever - they last just long enough so you don't pass out while the plane descends. Also, you have just enough time to put them on before passing out, which is why you put yours on first, before helping a child because you can help a child but a child is less likely able to help you.
@@Acecool An adult with normal blood oxygen levels should have 2-3 minutes before their sats drop enough to cause unconsciousness, and that's assuming they're getting no O2 from the cabin air. Probably a bigger issue is that people will become confused as their sats start dropping below 80% or so, at which point they might start doing truly dangerous things, and will certainly not be coherent enough to help people around them. I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think you probably have more than enough time to get your mask on properly without needing to panic that you'll pass out really quickly.
@@sapphiraelupa86 I found this interesting video that explains pretty good what the problem is: th-cam.com/video/kUfF2MTnqAw/w-d-xo.html At 25000ft you do have 2-3 minutes of usefull time. However some airlines go up to 35000ft in which case you have about 15-30 secounds befor you're unable to do anything.
@@Acecool This is the reason why aircraft do not fly over Tibet. Because of the high mountains, an aeroplane could not sink far enough for you to breathe normally
That tidbit about taking a unwarned nose dive after losing cabin pressure at altitude is the most informative part of this video. Now that I know this, I can enjoy it instead of panicking thinking I'm going to die. I love roller coasters but absolutely despise dying. Because I know that nose dive most likely isn't the pilot being dead or the plane being totally out of control, I can put on my air mask, then put my hands in the air as I ride the gnarliest drop I'll ever get to experience!
Same here, but I over-came my insane fear of flying by watching all 18 seasons of Air Crash Investigation, seriously, it really helps to understand planes & what these pilots will do to save our lives. Although some episodes are gut-wrenchingly sad when the pilots fight to save the flight but lose due to cost cuts in checks or even a forgotten piece of tape over a sensor. But as they say often, each crash makes air travel safer.
well, let the airlines know then. pilots only do and say what they are allowed to do and say by their airline, and the airlines only listen to customers, mostly.
Sadly most people think comfort is pretty lies and exclusively positive sentiments. Those ironic "if you can't say something nice... then don't talk to me because i don't need your negativity in my life" types. But personally i find comfort in information. The safest person in any emergency is the best informed. People who read the secret will die in a house fire, self-affirming that the fire doesn't exist. And they will deserve it.
@@Ben-rz9cf I knew a girl who was self aware enough to admit that she preferred silly comforting lies because the truth made life more painful, and made her way more anxious... I think alot of people are like that, but they may not realize it fully.
Meh, maybe. I'm OCD and telling me a bunch of statistics doesn't comfort me in the slightest. Some of the info is certainly good, but the delivery is a bit too intense for my liking. For example he's like these are the safest seats, so now if I'm not in them, I'm going to be worried. I'm not actually sure how something can be scary and yet comforting, that seems like a contradiction to me. It would be fine if they were more clear and direct about this sort of thing, but to me he's got this "you need to be hyper vigilant" attitude. To people like me, that says "you should be paranoid, you aren't safe". Same reason I get sick of my work telling me to take Covid seriously every damn day. I get that it's not a joke, but stressing the point constantly when I'm how I am makes me crazy. People actually have better chances of recovering when they aren't constantly stressed. The news has been doing the same thing, think they are being comforting, but the constant stressing of the danger simply stresses people out in my mind. There's a way to be calm and informative and rational without being scary.
As absolutely HILARIOUS as this video is, these are all amazing facts and tips that I will actually remember because I have a fear of flying. Thank you!
@@weebchina9639 the part where they say the wings are safest isn't based on any actual data. In reality there is no "safest seat" as different incidents will mean a seat might be better in one crash and worse in another. The parts about leaving things behind and counting the rows are already in 90% of briefings so it's not really "honest" just presented differently.
@@lucastubbs the honesty here seems to be more in the way he's explaining it and him actually explaining why the rules are the way they are. And that is the "safest" when looking at situations you have some control over. If it gets too bad you can eat shit and everyone will die. The end. At least don't get smarmy when people are just enjoying something
Note to self; If the air masks ever drop I'll put it on, then throw my hands up and go "WOOOOOOOO!" as the emergency descent begins so my seat neighbors think I'm an actual psycho.
Plot twist: the plane doesn’t end up diving and you’re just sitting there with your arms up like an idiot “I swear guys the planes gonna dive.. really! Any minute now, just watch..”
Hey y'all, as a former flight attendant, I ALWAYS count the rows to the nearest exit both fore and aft of my seat, using my fingers for a kinesthetic reinforcement. YOU SHOULD TOO!
@Miles Doyle For people who desperately want people converted to your religion, y’all sure are good at annoying people into disliking and never converting to your religion. No offense, but annoying people into resenting and avoiding your religion seems less like “saving” people and more like pushing them towards eternal damnation… Which is like the opposite of what you’re supposed to do.
Probably because you have more than 40 IQ and can recognize the difference between security theater and reality, and when reality is really good safety statistics worrying doesn't make sense. Plus when they aren't blowing smoke up your rear they have time to talk about things that would actually save your life in an emergency like this video mentions.
@@apothecurio Seriously that is some next level copypasta fuckery you were replying to. It's jarring enough in contexts where it actually makes some damn sense to go ranting about it, but here it's enough to make one's head spin.
Same, i actually enjoy a lot the "sincerity with some cynical jokes thrown in" kind of speech. Make me feel i'm treated like an adult, and i'm more willing to trust people when they talk to me like that.
When you're frightened of something, the best way to combat the fear is to have information that makes you feel more in control of it. I felt the same way hearing this.
Plane - Can’t wait to skip the safety video to watch movies
Home - Voluntarily click on a 7 min safety video
Yeah well the ones on planes are tailored for your average 80 year old or 5 year old to not be offended or put at fear

@@saucylight to be totally honest... no I didn't. First and up until now the only time I flew was last year and I did not pay full attention to that video
They should make it more entertaining. The entertaining ones I watch at least once. But after that, when I've heard the damn thing 4 times in the last 24 hours, it's more annoying than informative.
Coming here: “This is going to be hilarious.”

As a customer I can't stand all the extra talk, either. "Just tell me what to click on, Mister, I don't need you to ask me about my day or tell me how glad you are that I chose to be a customer!"

I mean I honestly wish that is the safety video we got every time that I have it tagged in my head the actual one I could probably recite it to you.
See, the reason this works is because it explains the why. It doesn't just tell you to do something. It informs you on what will happen if you don't.
Which is also a useful lesson for parents to learn from
Yeah, a funny thing is that's not how schools teach stuff lol
That's why we trust the experts
It might still lead some to just question your explanations and still not believe you no matter how iron tight your reasoning is
@@vestborobaptistchurch3161 those people were never going to believe you anyway
That's how you give attention to the passengers, I'd rather hear this safety induction than the regular safety information.
I agree. Actually useful stuff with some humour thrown in for good measure
can't expect every pilot to consistently say this every flight though.
So true, they should tell us always the truth and be realistic not talk like a robot 🤖 and give some false info that won't actually help much in danger, that's also how it will make people to actually listen and care about the safety instructions! 😖 I could finally understand it..
This would be much easier on mandatory videos on the little TVs on the airplanes.
Liz Moon soo, you cannot make a case for the current safety videos being false! Also, they’re literally made to be understood and are reeeaally simple to follow along - what this video did was telling you to visualize it. Do that the next time you board an aircraft.
As someone with a fear of flying I actually found this more reassuring then I thought I would. Lot of power in honesty.
I was always a nervous flyer with little tolerance for turbulence. Then on a flight descending into ATL in a small jet we hit awful turbulence with a sudden hard drop. Worst turbulence I ever experienced. Everything not secured hit the ceiling (fortunately only minor injuries). It scared the hell out of me, but the plane clearly took it in its stride. Didn’t seem to care at all. And ever since I’ve not worried about the wings falling off and turbulence is much easier to cope with.
same- this really helped me not flinch every time i hear the word vacation
I've never been in a plane and I'm bloody terrified but this really helps
@@2ooo5 my best friend is getting married in 2021 in a different country and I already have anxiety about the flight. I don't think people appreciate how difficult it can be for us nervous flyers lol
Yasssssss
I’ve been a flight attendant for 31 years.
I love this video. It is blatantly and hilariously true, whilst also respecting us.
90 seconds is what we are trained to get you out if there’s an emergency. We’re also CPR and AED qualified. Keep your arms and legs out of the aisle whilst we drag that 300 pound cart at an incline. Wear your seatbelt. Turbulence is a very serious thing. You’re more likely to be injured from turbulence than anything else.
Most important: don’t grunt or feel inconvenienced when we block off the lavatories when the pilots need them.
They are the most important people on the plane!
Also pilots don't have time to brief passengers in an emergency. They're way too busy diagnosing the problem, descending to a safe altitude, notifying ATC and the airline of their situation, and troubleshooting to be able to talk with the passengers.
My dad was flying in the 80s and he theorized they hit a goodly patch of CAT and the aircraft dropped a good amount without any warning. He said he never had his seatbelt on during cruise before then, but did that day. His friend bashed his head on the ceiling, but all that happened to him was catching two glasses of soda out of the air without spilling more than a few drops.
He keeps it on for the whole flight to this day. Wear your seatbelts, kids.
The pilots don't need them. They should only be blocked off for a good reason.
First, thankyou. Second, I'm glad you have the safest seats. I've always worried that they weren't as safe as passenger seats, and this is reassuring. I'm happy to know that when I fly, the safest seats are occupied by the people who are best trained to save lives in an emergency. :)
Potter's Police, Security and Railway videos did... did you just say the pilots don’t need to use the restroom? They’re humans too yknow. They have bodily functions like the rest of us and most Passenger Jets don’t have lavatories in the cockpit
They should actually let you know in the safety leaflet that if we lose cabin air pressure, and then do a nose dive, that we are not actually falling to our death. That would be more helpful than showing us that your life vests have a fancy whistle attached.

Billy Baque I get incredibly nervous about being late and missing the flight - once I am on board I can relax.
@@ianmoseley9910 Random story, I used to drive a cab and one morning I was taking a guy to the airport. Out of nowhere a big rig clips a deer crossing the road and it flew right in front of me, I was gonna hit it. I braced myself and said hold on sir to my passenger and....a little bump, I must have missed it. Pulling up to the departure terminal which was packed with people, everybody just shut up (shat up?) and stared at my cab. I had a bad feeling, getting out of the cab the drivers side was fine as I walked around the cab to open my passengers door I realized the whole passenger side was misted in the poor deer's vital fluid. It looked like I had mowed down a bunch of Nuns. I started to panic and was like no, i haven't done anything wrong, act natural. I got my passengers luggage out of the trunk, opened his door and told him how much the fair was, He looked at me and said, "Your just going to act like nothing is wrong?" Now looking at the horror show that was my passenger side. "Well that's the plan until i can get to a car wash." He paid and I left the airport quickly finding a car wash almost immediately and cleansing that poor animals mortal coil from my car. I hope you enjoyed my random and now I realize somewhat gruesome story.
Billy Baque Oh dear!
@@ianmoseley9910 You did misspell it, but I'll get you that like anyway. ;-)
The grammar in this is horrible haha
The emergency dive in the event of cabin pressure loss should be genuinely put into safety videos...
Right?! The worse thing in these situations is the panic! I can’t imagine trying to focus and just hearing people losing their shit and just screaming
I think if they added that in to the video some people would think "fuck that" and want to get off
RunPJs I expect most nervous flyers are pretty much there with the safety video anyway. Putting in the video at least gives them prior warning for if it does happen (on the rare chance that is). Knowing what’s going on in such a dramatic move would be much better than having no idea why your plane is going into an emergency dive
@@connorhill1247 Exactly. Even if you don't go into details, they should at least MENTION that the plane will make a steep dive to reach more breathable air. Don't have to give specifics or explain just how dramatic a maneuver it really is, just something so that passengers don't feel a crazy nose-dive and immediately interpret it as the plane being out of control.
Yes! I knew about the passing out but the emergency dive is new. People would freak out thinking that they are crashing. Imagine a passenger with a weak heart.
A message like this treats the passengers like grown-ups who can handle the truth, educating and empowering them, unlike those superficial, "don't distress them" messages we actually get. I learned so much
It’s not flying that scares me. It’s suddenly not flying that scares me...

“If you inflate your life jacket inside the aircraft in a water landing you WILL drown”
This makes me laugh every time.
@TheDrills NLV Yes.
TheDrills NLV
Kim is correct - you inflate it in the cabin or water.
Seriously though:think. If you are in the cabin and it’s filling with water, an inflated lifejacket will 100% prevent you diving down to get out of a submerged exit. They don’t brief on it for fun, even if nobody listens.
That's a ridiculous thing to say. The chance of death from premature lifejacket inflation is significantly increased while trying to escape from a flooded aircraft cabin, but it is not certain that one will die from that.
SMOKEU
So do you think saying - as they mostly do - “do not inflate the jacket until you have left the aircraft” is paid attention to? I’ve watched more safety videos than had hot dinners, and agree with the thrust of this video. Don’t get me started on the jokey ones that are the rage now.
Mentioning the fact plane is going to make a nosediving right after the oxygen masks appear would actually be pretty useful because I imagine that would be fucking terrifying

I have had panic attacks (2 only) in the plane, in what I understand (even during the attack) are COMPLETELY SAFE SITUATIONS (turbulence, unpredicted change of seats). I knew most of this info before I started suffering from the flight related anxiety, but consciously knowing doesn't really stop me from being anxious. But Xanax does. YAAAAAAAY. I really make an effort to be a breezy chill passager whenever I can't take the medication but it's so hard tho.
Remember, being drugged up you are most likely to die because you're wasted. So no worries.

Thing is, if your pilot sounds like this, he’s probably gonna do his job perfectly to a T.

Because it gives you a feeling that flying is dangerous and will require you to fight for your life. If you look up statistics on plane crashes you will find out that the chances of you actually being in one are basically zero.
@@gulfermendi6367 By definition, half the world's population is below avg intelligence.
As a fighter pilot and airline pilot, I’ve been wanting to give this PA for 30 years! I would add that turbulence is just like boating through waves; and I promise, the wings will not fall off! Nice job!
If you can promise the wings won't fall off due to turbulence, you're either lying, or you're not a pilot at all. Aircraft have been known to break apart in flight due to turbulence. It's extremely unlikely but it DOES happen.
And before you say I'm an armchair pilot, I do actually fly.
SMOKEU - Wow. Haters gonna hate, huh? Today’s commercial airliners, and I have flown 727, S-80, 757, 767, and currently fly the 777, go through Static testing to deflect the wing all the way to the point of failure . Most of these wings will deflect nearly 90 degrees before they break.
My purpose in responding to this video was to reassure nervous flyers and make the idea of flying (and civilization in general) a little bit better. You obviously subscribe to tearing people down and making it worse. I hope you find peace.
@@troykehoe6153 I was simply correcting an obvious false statement. It had nothing to do with "tearing people down" as you insist.
It's well known that wings DO fall off aircraft on very rare occasions and to state otherwise is blatantly false, especially coming from someone with specialized knowledge of aircraft such as yourself.
You should have said that it's extremely unlikely for wings to fall off, not impossible. There is a HUGE difference between those two statements.
SMOKEU - sorry, you called me a liar or a fraud, or possibly both. To clarify, I never said impossible - I don’t buy into catastrophizing and trying to normalize 1 in 100 billion chance events. If my family and I were in a severe storm, and my kids were scared, I would promise them they would be ok too. Or, should I tell them there is a 1 in 1 million chance that a tornado could spawn over our house tearing us all to shreds?
SMOKEU - to put statistics in perspective, an MIT professor ran the numbers and you can fly every single day, for 186,000 YEARS, and expect not to die on a western commercial airline. So, I am pretty solid with my promise...
This is good. Don't tell me not to worry, tell me WHEN to worry. Most of us don't know this stuff and not telling it only makes me more anxious.
The mental preparation techniques involving counting the seats between yourself and the exit and practicing opening and closing your seatbelt were incredibly helpful.
There’s no way a pilot sounds this clear on the intercom.
You’d be surprised actually and this could be a recording of him talking into it but not it coming out of said intercom
The video has subtitles so it kind of helps you to understand what it is saying

Technically speaking, 100% of accidents happen in the last minute of a flight.
edit: guys please stop replying my inbox is dying
No cause they obviously mean the last 8 minutes of the predetermined flight.
No they dont
IExist do you know what a joke is
@@iamaidanreed7910 Whoosh!
Right over your head.
I guess that depends on what you consider an accident. Not every mishap will crash the plane or terminate the flight. Case in point - an improperly latched overhead compartment causing baggage to land on passengers would be an accident and would most likely happen at the beginning of the flight.
Well, we should have an automatic message while the fast descent for pressurisation saying "We are descending for breathable air, there is no need to worry, this is a procedure protocol, we are NOT in danger" or something like that
Your adrenaline is going to be so high that you won't understand anything.
Some aircrafts are equipped with exactly this. It’s called a PRAM. Pre-recorded announcement. But in cases of rapid or explosive decompression, your brain only has seconds to decipher information normally before hypoxia sets in, you lose cognitive function and fine motor skills, and pass out. That’s why it’s imperative that you put on your oxygen mask as quickly and correctly as possible, BEFORE helping others (or you’re essentially useless).
Hanging with my Gnomes Would be useless. In case of depressurization at a high altitude you have around 15 seconds to but on your mask before you pass out due to there being no oxygen... It’s easier to drop the mask down with no message because people will just put them on instead of waiting for a message.
@@boass Exactly this. In the case that some people aren't panicking, they will end up waiting and listening to the announcement instead of actually putting on their masks.
@@boassIs the 15 seconds a fact, or your own guess? I am wondering because I can hold my breath for 30 seconds to a minute, which is no oxygen at all, and still stay conscious.
This was really good. I was expecting some snarky video trash talking the airlines and telling people if there’s a crash they’re all screwed. But instead there was actually some really good info on here. Well done!
As a pilot, I can confirm this is exceedingly accurate.
🤣🤣🤣
Can you confirm that those shity life jackets will probably strangle you to death before you run out of stamina while trying to swim and drown
I wish this was the safety instruction! 🙂

Same, I think the problem is not just the legal boxes but also the PC culture. I would really like to have the pilot tell me just how fucked up it is, instead of covering up in boring PC correct language. I believe a lot more people paid attention because of the words used to explain the raw gravity of the situation, but as always we have to remain Politically Correct above everything, even if your life depends on it.
@CHRISTIAN NAVAGH u can get wifi in a plane but it sucks
are you serious?? that's just comedy, it would save nobody
@@ggurks No, that is all correct information. This is getting passed around the industry and everyone I talked to all agree this is the briefing we should be giving.
Airlines are all about liability not safety. There is absolutely no sane world in which lap children should be allowed. Every baby that is being held is dead if we have even a minor incident. The only reason they are allowed is because in the 70s when they wrote the rules there wasn't enough approved car seats.
How did your flight go?
As a guy who has a massive fear of flying this shit has put me to ease more than you'd know, I may actually get back on a plane now!
@to themoon ya I’ve gotten off planes also, issue is Xanax actually makes my anxiety worse.
Makes sense - while trying to get that huge thing up in the air and while trying to land it - it's like taking a bath in the bathtub - Everything is a-okay while sitting in the tub - it's getting in and out that's the problem, not strokes while in the bathtub.
@@simonfrederiksen104 your so right, I have done absailing before, anyone that's done it will tell you, that the hardest part is the very start while starting the lean over the ledge, trusting the ropes and safety protocols.
Look up plane tolerance tests here on YT. There's one that shows the point at which the wings flex before snapping. Planes have insane tolerances.
What really helps? Buying a large pack of Webster's hard caramels and always having one in your mouth for the entire duration of the flight. Also some country musci (if you hate it) works wonders. If not, go for Bruno Mars (if you like it).
I genuinely expected this to be clickbait garbage... but I actually learned something. I will definitely keep the earbuds out for the first and last 10 minutes to be more conscious. Thank you.
I would rather hear this on a flight than the cartoon BS. This tells me the pilot knows what he is doing.
Popup Target And we would also be passengers who knew a little bit more of what we were supposed to do the best way possible.
does he actually know what he's doing, or just spouting a bunch of stats being like science, believe me u'd be fine?
ca-ke Another pilot in the comments confirms that the video is correct
Generally, airline pilots are incredibly well trained for emergencies due to the fact that the plane practically flies itself for most of the trajectory.
Popup Target yeah me too!
Being in the Navy, this is how the military explains things, more or less. Blunt and to the point. It's smarter to get this info sooner than later, and not rely soley on firemen/emergency services to save our skins.

Serious comment, I’d actually respect the airlines for playing this instead of the fake placating videos they run now. It’s refreshing.
The problem is the video they normally play is designed so they are not liable for a few things. Pretty sure the captain got fired or a warning for that speech.
You can't be honest with people nowadays. It may offend them.

I've been in one of those emergency dives before. Let me tell you, the lucky ones are the ones who didn't get oxygen and passed out through the dive. Us wakers thought we were legit gonna die.
Oh God I can only imagine what that feels like
Flying is only dangerous when plane meets ground.
Plez no.
good things flights I usually take have cruising altitude of 40k, that means less than 10 seconds of reaction time before passing out
How'd it happen?
Also, if you lose cabin pressure at cruising altitude, expect a lot of condensation to happen in the fuselage, with visibility dropping to nada almost instantly. Not that you need to see farther than where your breathing mask is dangling...
So like how everything normally looks when I'm not wearing my glasses?
@@RandomGuy0400 yup, and same for me.

@@mariosebastiani3214 : thanks for reminding me on condensation in a pressure drop incident. This really should be mentioned in the safety advises...
Had no clue about the emergency dive. Good to know.
Well, it is for emergencys
Fun fact: there are no flights over Tibet range, unless it's to the capital of Tibet. The reason is that the mountain range is higher than the altitude the plane needs to descent to. So if you get depressurized over Tibet mountains, you have about 20 minutes of air worth before you suffocate.
I would have thought it was obvious 🤷 as surely the main objective when facing an oxygen shortage is to increase the oxygen supply by diving.
@@trequor well sometimes you can't really nose dive since maybe the plane loses hydraulics and oxygen
Same here. If a plane started doing that and I was in it I would think it wasn’t on purpose and we were just done for
"I've practiced" why was that so comforting to hear?
Because this is part of their training, lol.
That must've been the fun part for them. Will give me the need for a cardiologist as my seat mate lol. I only do kiddie coasters. No Kraken for me.

Wow dude, I almost never comment on TH-cam, in fact this this my second because you soooooo deserve it. This is a REALLY great informative video. One of the best I ever came across. Thank you.
Aye, though not that we will be flying anytime soon thanks to the current pandemic. Tis information to consider for the future.
Statistically speaking, arent 100% of crashes within the last couple minutes of flight?
some are not in flight , some are on the ground
*"crashes"* yes. He said "accidents". They are what causes the crashes. Over 70% of all fatal plane crashes happen because of something before the flight. Over 25% because of damage added to the plane during maintenance.
There’s a few situations-midair collisions, bombs on board, inflight fires-involving fatalities even before people come into contact with the ground. Of course, what’s left of the plane still crashes, even if someone manages to survive what brought the plane down in the first place.
No a majority have been within the first few mins look at the recent Boeing crashes
@@freyafoxmusic which were also the last few minutes of the flight. That's the joke...
I'm involved in training aircraft mechanics. I can help you with the question at around 5:36 - it's because the things in the cabin (like the AV system and the latches) are way way down the priority list. The things actually required for safe flight are in a list called the Minimum Equipment List (MEL) and it stipulates what can and cannot be broken when the aircraft takes off.
I suspected as much
@@garlckbread It's likely a priority list that has to be fulfilled in the set amount of time. It could be that fixing a door handle didn't happen because they were busy troubleshooting electronics longer than expected.
@@garlckbread The minimum requirements are set sensibly after adequate testing and measurement during the certification process. Here's the MEL for a 747 if you're curious: fsims.faa.gov/wdocs/mmel/b-747-400_r28.pdf
Typically things can be broken but you can fly with them subject to certain limitations. For example, if you look at ATA 74 (ignition) section -00-1 on page 220, there are 8 ignition systems fitted to the aircraft (2 per engine x 4 engines). It is permissible to dispatch the aircraft with one faulty ignition system in each engine (so 4 total out of 8) provided that the nacelle anti-ice system on the affected engines are operational, the Ignition Selector switch in the cockpit is positioned to ensure
ignition to all engines using the remaining functional ignition systems, and, for Pratt & Whitney (PW) and Rolls Royce (RR) engines, at least two out of the four engines are verified to have an operational No.1 ignition system before each flight (i.e. the other two engines are permitted to have a faulty #1 ignition system and functional #2 system - but at least two of the engines must have a functional #1 ign system).
The idea here is that you are highly unlikely to need a functioning backup ignition system in-flight unless the engines flame-out due to icing or severe weather conditions. And since #1 ignition system is more important than #2 on PW and RR engines, there are more restrictions on how many #1 systems can fail (basically if you summarise it, the plane can take off with up to four failed #2 systems, but only up to 2 failed #1 systems). If your 747 has General Electric (GE) engines there's no such restriction on #1 vs. #2 failures, you can have any combination of 4 failures (though obviously not two on the same engine because then it wouldn't start lol).
Most things on the aircraft are duplicated or triplicated for redundancy - for example a 737 has at least two of each type of radio (Com, Nav, VHF, ATC, GPS, ADF, HF, SATCOM etc.), two gyros (ahem, I mean inertial navigation systems), three autopilots, two hydraulic systems, two fuel pump groups per tank (x 2 wing tanks and one center tank = 6 pump groups total), three bleed air sources (two main engines and one APU), four electrical sources (two engine generators and two APU generators) plus 45 minutes of battery backup power for the most critical systems like navigation, emergency lights and black boxes...
When you start getting into ETOPS aircraft (Extended Twin Engine Operations - aka "Engines Turning or People Swimming" - aka very long flights over vast oceans with only two engines on the plane), the built-in redundancy is even greater. For example, a Boeing 777 has nine hydraulic sources! (Two pumps driven mechanically by the engines, four driven electrically by whatever electric source is operational, two backup pumps driven by bleed air pressure, and one driven by the ram-air turbine (RAT) - which is a little windmill that pops out of the side of the fuselage and generates power from the wind speed when things get really, really, REALLY desperate).
If the in flight-entertainment system is broken, there's no backup and it won't really affect flight safety unless it catches fire and fills the cabin with smoke - in which case the pilots can cut power to it ;)
TL;DR :there are triple backups and so they can takeoff with one backup non-functioning provided they meet certain other requirements. They cannot takeoff with one of everything that is allowed to be broken actually broken, only certain combos and a maximum total number of the allowed items, may also have other limits imposed like the forecast weather needs to be better or fuel burn recalculated.
If the flight entertainment is broken it wont catch fire because non-functional equipment is required to be dissconected/disabled by a mechanic before takeoff.
No joke, this is possibly the best video I've ever watched about safety in air travel. I would fly exclusively on any airline with the stones to produce and show a video with these facts and themes.

@Bradley Wang Your the one calling a guy deplorable for cursing while simultaneously being a complete hypocrite, and I just called you out on it.
This guy knows his stuff. You’d be lucky to have him as your pilot.
All Pilots are required to know this stuff bruh
I’m only a student pilot and we learn the same stuff such as pitching the plane toward the ground for the never exceed speed and what to do in different emergency situations. The FAA has everyone in the sky learn stuff like this to ensure that everyone is being safe no matter if you’re a student, private, instrument, or commercial pilot.
That emergency dive part was extremely useful.
I’d probably think the plane was being hijacked or something
Makes totally sense but I either would have thought it to be hijacked or so damaged that it was going down just to crash. You never stop learning!
Yes but how to know whether its the pilot is doing it deliberately or the plane is just crashing?
@@scraggybear I'd say listen to the engines and look out the window at the equipment. If the engines sound to be failing, worry, if you see a piece of aircraft missing... worry! If the plane is falling in an uncontrollable spiral, worry! Otherwise, masks deployed, plane nose-dives, engines are running properly (even if only to ramp down), mask up, reserve your panic and observe carefully.

If the chocolates feed you then they help post crash more than the jacket.
As Frankie Boyle said, "In the unlikely event of a loss a cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling and untangling them will annoy you before you die" 👀
I was on a flight where all of them dropped while we still on the ground, around the time they closed the doors iirc. they dropped and it was hilariously sad to watch the flight crew try to put them all back, they finally ended up duct taping one closed :D. knowing how "helpful" they are it makes a lot more sense why it was treated so nonchalantly.
The frustration of untangling them is the distraction you'll need to forget that you might be about to die!
@@NogrimStoneson Is this story true? If the masks are dropped, all of them must be inspected, replaced as needed, and repacked. Where I'm from they have to maintain below a certain amount of failure to drop rates in three consecutive deployments before the system is serviceable. If any of the passengers pulled the masks down the valves for the breathing oxygen would open or they would activate the chemical oxygen generators which would have to be replaced or refilled and tested to be deemed serviceable.
I was on a flight where the attendant going through the presentation said, “ ….masks will drop from the ceiling, once you stop screaming, put the mask on your face first and then help the person next to you.” Everyone laughed.
I was waiting for him to mention the oxygen masks only help for 15min.

I was slightly afraid this was going to be conspiratorial, or that it would be super depressing, but I actually found it a lot more comforting.

@@Dylan_1263 I actually laughed a bit. I'll admit, I was surprised though
The part about the oxygen masks, emergency descent, and delay in announcement of what's going on should be a standard part of the actual safety presentation. If I'm ever on a plane when that happens, I won't think I'm about to die.
I guess it was about consumer trust and denying fear, to be able to promote a business.
Considering the times before jet airliners, it wasn't as safe, people probably didn't trust those things as much as today.
Hindenburg airship is a good example to how people didn't fully trust flying.
Where as nowadays, I agree that people can tolerate more of the hard facts instead of the "soft facts"
This part actually made memore scared of flights because Im a person who doesnt enjoy rapid descents like in rollercoasters. So now that I know that this sht might happen im both grateful but as well terrified, because I know that rollercoaster dive is about to occur and I might pass the fuck out.
@@115DELDE Being in a rollercoaster and being in an aeroplane feels very different. (ive been on flights and rollercoasters a LOT)
In an airplane, If you were to block out the windows and ignore that you know you're moving, it would feel, like things were just rumbling, and you were, depending if ur going up or down, feeling heavier or lighter.
I'd think, in case a dive would happen, which is explained is a very rare case, more so than car accidents, all you would feel is just suddenly getting really light, (which could be a bit fun lmao, being able to almost float for a few secs, but thats my opinion) and, you wouldn't feel any pull backwards, or the wind blowing, because essentially, you're safer inside, ((also physics)). If you wanna see more about plane drops, id recommend looking up the stuff about 0G airplane flights on this site, its really facinating.
-
Also, a chance of something happening wont mean it will just happen on your next flight. All this information is a big "in case it does" like how you put on your seatbelt in your car, top up on extra fuel and face a baby seat the right way round, even if you dont need to because all your journeys are safe. It's only because when it matters, it makes a difference.
@@crystalrain3334 I've been on dozens of flights, and multiple roller coasters. The sensation I have of a "fall" or controlled dive (in the case of flying) is the same for me.
Any rollercoaster that does not have a shoulder-over-the-head-restraint and has a drop, scares me. Those types of rollercoasters that secure you by the waist, just like a seatbelt dont make me feel lighter of give me a sensation of flight, it pulls me down with force to the point where I can pass out even of a silly ride like Space Mountain (any of the U.S versions of that ride).
So, when the pilot said that "in case of an extreme emergency I will nose dive" with a stronger force than a rollercoaster, I know that I'm going to pass out. I don't do well with drops on rollercoasters. xD
Why should it be?! People would still not listen to it... They even won‘t listen to scientific facts about COVID-19 and mask and still won‘t wear them... So why would they believe THIS?!
As someone who used to fly a lot but is now fairly nervous about it, this somehow makes me feel better, way better than an actual pre-flight instructional video.

I was on the window side, and watched as the water got closer, and then there was land, and then the airplane launched at 80 degrees! It was an instant roller coaster uplift! After a moment the pilot came on and said in that absolute deadpan voice, "Another plane turned onto the runway in front of us; we're going to take another lap and try it again."
Pucker factor? ALL IN!
When I calmed down, I realized that our pilot was a boss! We weren't quite heading straight up, but with that acceleration we were a rocket! God bless the pilots!
Yes, things can go wrong. But the guy that's flying the plane has boots in the game and 10,000 hours minimum in the pilot's seat. Damn fine folk!
Fifteen minutes later, as we were taxing to the terminal, he said, "Thank you for flying with us, and be careful when opening the overhead compartments. With the stunt I had to pull sure as shit everything has shifted." Honesty to the veterans. We laughed. We were careful.
this is gold. this is what youtube should be. i travel twice a year but i’m scared of the takeoff as hell. use to love it, but just can’t get those clips i’ve seen from plane crashes outta my head. but it’s just a psychological thing, and these videos make me feel safer. thank you!

as someone who suffers from paranoia and anxiety, hearing that made feel... calm. in the event when that actually happens, i'll probably be sitting there calmly while everyone around me is panicking.
can you be my pilot or something? 😂
Just don’t get paranoid or anxious about dumb stuff.
@@yammmit wow theyre cured now amazing you should be a psychologist
Pilots have to go through thousands upon thousands of hours of flying to get to the stage where they can fly large passenger planes. Trust your pilot, they know what they're doing.
Scarlet Yeehaw well it just makes sense... if stuff is bothering you, don’t let it bother you and set irrational thoughts aside. That’s what I do and it’s what everyone should do.
@@yammmit not everyone can do that, especially those with paranoia or a good amount of anxiety
Pilot! And I can tell you that...
...actually that is all true. The safely briefing is basically a legal box checking exercise. I'd love to give this briefing.
Nice to hear!
Well I don’t fully agree with an emergency descent feeling like a roller coaster. The planes acceleration will not feel that heavy. Also the pilot may inform the cabin pretty fast by informing the cabin crew a emergency decent is occurring. They can relay this to the passengers.
@@matthijs8888 The push over is going to rotate the aircraft pretty quick. A push over in a Cessna is no big deal but in an airliner anyone in the front or back is going to be thrown around. It is all to do with distance from the point of rotation. Add that to not being able to see exactly what is happening and it will feel very violent even when it is not.
Also I have not seen a single SOP where the pilot would inform the cabin. In fact, every SOP I have seen explicitly instructs the pilots not to establish communications with the cabin crew. They are trained to know what to do: get their mask on and try to tell everyone else to put theirs on.
Also pilot. I'm using this when I next fly my family.
Do you know if you could do this briefing? Or maybe it is illegal?
100% of accidents happen within the last 8 minutes of the flight. In fact all accidents happen right at the exact end of the flight.
Thats similar ideas to driving & arriving & accident awareness in a road vehicle
Not precisely a happy ending
"Give a man a fire, and he is warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he is warm for the rest of his life."
or at the beginning of flights 😊
Eh, you could have an accident and still be “flying” (falling) for a bit. Falling is still considered flight, right? 😉
From a manufacturer's perspective, we don't care about the interior as much as the mechanics of the aircraft. Interiors has a lot of little fixes to make it look good or make it work correctly like adding a spot of glue to a carpet that won't stay down. Working parts are a different story. If there is a scratch measuring .003 inches in depth it must be fixed with engineering sign off. That's about what your fingernail can catch on. That's a damage tolerance limit for even tiny brackets that hold wires. Critical equipment often has even tighter tolerances such as bearing surfaces mating within .0005 inches that are hand installed or certain bolts require being torqued in a pattern with a record of what torque each bolt was tightened to, including retorque. Smudge mark on a sidewall in the cabin? Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No joke, we don't care about your interiors beyond it looking nice. It won't bring down the plane.
The cabin pressure thing is known as “time of useful consciousness” and it gets real serious, real quick.
Smarter Every Day did a video about aircraft decompression. It does get serious quick.
It’s serious for the pilots. The passengers are just along for the ride.
You use really bad words so that's why I hate you!!!
Helios airways flight 522 is a good example for what will happen when there is no adequate reaction to a cabin pressure issue. For those who do not know; that plane crashed because of all people on board got unconcious.

Best safety video ever, I genuinely feel more control over possible emergency situations, thank you.
I can tell this guy’s not a real pilot because he didn’t say “uhhh” after every word
and didn't say "over and out"
@@blitzkrieg5517 which pilot says that lol
@@ABCDEFG-cj7mr The ones in old 80's movies like Airplane! It must be true.
@@Darion350 nah, I don't think any pilot says that. I think the movies did it just for the effects, but its pretty cool, ngl!
and he swore
I had no idea the pilots will put the plane in a “safety dive” if the cabin loses pressure. If I was on a plane that went into a nose dive and the oxygen masks dropped down I’d be 100% convinced I was about to die
The built in oxygen masks have a built in bottle of oxygen or produces oxygen chemically. These do not last forever - they last just long enough so you don't pass out while the plane descends. Also, you have just enough time to put them on before passing out, which is why you put yours on first, before helping a child because you can help a child but a child is less likely able to help you.
@@Acecool An adult with normal blood oxygen levels should have 2-3 minutes before their sats drop enough to cause unconsciousness, and that's assuming they're getting no O2 from the cabin air. Probably a bigger issue is that people will become confused as their sats start dropping below 80% or so, at which point they might start doing truly dangerous things, and will certainly not be coherent enough to help people around them. I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think you probably have more than enough time to get your mask on properly without needing to panic that you'll pass out really quickly.
@@sapphiraelupa86 I found this interesting video that explains pretty good what the problem is:
th-cam.com/video/kUfF2MTnqAw/w-d-xo.html
At 25000ft you do have 2-3 minutes of usefull time. However some airlines go up to 35000ft in which case you have about 15-30 secounds befor you're unable to do anything.
@@Acecool This is the reason why aircraft do not fly over Tibet. Because of the high mountains, an aeroplane could not sink far enough for you to breathe normally

I’m living 2020. You can’t scare me with plane crashes anymore.

@@cynicalsayonara7169 hi peppy
That tidbit about taking a unwarned nose dive after losing cabin pressure at altitude is the most informative part of this video. Now that I know this, I can enjoy it instead of panicking thinking I'm going to die. I love roller coasters but absolutely despise dying. Because I know that nose dive most likely isn't the pilot being dead or the plane being totally out of control, I can put on my air mask, then put my hands in the air as I ride the gnarliest drop I'll ever get to experience!
even though I am afraid of flying, I would fly with this pilot at any given moment
Same here, but I over-came my insane fear of flying by watching all 18 seasons of Air Crash Investigation, seriously, it really helps to understand planes & what these pilots will do to save our lives. Although some episodes are gut-wrenchingly sad when the pilots fight to save the flight but lose due to cost cuts in checks or even a forgotten piece of tape over a sensor. But as they say often, each crash makes air travel safer.
well, let the airlines know then. pilots only do and say what they are allowed to do and say by their airline, and the airlines only listen to customers, mostly.
What if that pilot was me and I was ripped and sexi as fuk.
@@DrRosko You should become the captain of a SHIP, then.
You must hate HR-language
This felt scary but weirdly comforting. We need more safety videos like this!
Absolutely!
Sadly most people think comfort is pretty lies and exclusively positive sentiments. Those ironic "if you can't say something nice... then don't talk to me because i don't need your negativity in my life" types. But personally i find comfort in information. The safest person in any emergency is the best informed. People who read the secret will die in a house fire, self-affirming that the fire doesn't exist. And they will deserve it.
@@Ben-rz9cf I knew a girl who was self aware enough to admit that she preferred silly comforting lies because the truth made life more painful, and made her way more anxious... I think alot of people are like that, but they may not realize it fully.
Meh, maybe. I'm OCD and telling me a bunch of statistics doesn't comfort me in the slightest. Some of the info is certainly good, but the delivery is a bit too intense for my liking. For example he's like these are the safest seats, so now if I'm not in them, I'm going to be worried. I'm not actually sure how something can be scary and yet comforting, that seems like a contradiction to me. It would be fine if they were more clear and direct about this sort of thing, but to me he's got this "you need to be hyper vigilant" attitude. To people like me, that says "you should be paranoid, you aren't safe".
Same reason I get sick of my work telling me to take Covid seriously every damn day. I get that it's not a joke, but stressing the point constantly when I'm how I am makes me crazy. People actually have better chances of recovering when they aren't constantly stressed. The news has been doing the same thing, think they are being comforting, but the constant stressing of the danger simply stresses people out in my mind. There's a way to be calm and informative and rational without being scary.
@@adammilner6195 I have OCD too and I can relate.
I would feel more secure and more comfortable with this guy as my pilot.
Agreed
@Ministry of Vengeance what was the point of this reply?
@Ministry of Vengeance this had nothing to do with the comment 😐, straight forward people are more comforting
I wouldn’t this is a fake pilot
Couldn't agree with you more. 👍
As absolutely HILARIOUS as this video is, these are all amazing facts and tips that I will actually remember because I have a fear of flying. Thank you!
These "DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE!!" Videos give off a clickbaity vibe but this is informational
th-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/w-d-xo.html
Half the stuff in this video is misleading, the other half is already in most actual safety demonstrations.
@@lucastubbs What exactly, can you elaborate?
@@weebchina9639 the part where they say the wings are safest isn't based on any actual data. In reality there is no "safest seat" as different incidents will mean a seat might be better in one crash and worse in another. The parts about leaving things behind and counting the rows are already in 90% of briefings so it's not really "honest" just presented differently.
@@lucastubbs the honesty here seems to be more in the way he's explaining it and him actually explaining why the rules are the way they are. And that is the "safest" when looking at situations you have some control over. If it gets too bad you can eat shit and everyone will die. The end. At least don't get smarmy when people are just enjoying something
Wait... YOU MEAN MY FEAR OF THE DRINK CART ISN'T IRRATIONAL????
It's coming to get you Jimmy!
THE DRINK CART IS COMING FOR YOUR ELBOWS
Visualize the drink cart during emergency descent
nope
not at all. always makes me anxious having heavy objects in the cabin of my car, because if I were to crash they'd be flying around
This is actually calming, because the pilot looks like he DEFINETLY knows what he is doing.
This type of video message should be played on planes and also mailed as a link for passengers to watch before the flight.
Note to self; If the air masks ever drop I'll put it on, then throw my hands up and go "WOOOOOOOO!" as the emergency descent begins so my seat neighbors think I'm an actual psycho.
Thanks for the lol
@@oneironautz328 Spread the word. One of us is bound to make someone shit themselves xD

@Miles Doyle wth
@Miles Doyle For people who desperately want people converted to your religion, y’all sure are good at annoying people into disliking and never converting to your religion.
No offense, but annoying people into resenting and avoiding your religion seems less like “saving” people and more like pushing them towards eternal damnation… Which is like the opposite of what you’re supposed to do.
@Miles Doyle Jesus once gave me a hanjo while the flight safety video was playing, it's the only reason I wasn't paying attention.
This honestly keeps me way calmer than the actual ones they play.
That's the nature of honesty.
@Miles Doyle who asked?
Probably because you have more than 40 IQ and can recognize the difference between security theater and reality, and when reality is really good safety statistics worrying doesn't make sense. Plus when they aren't blowing smoke up your rear they have time to talk about things that would actually save your life in an emergency like this video mentions.

Same, i actually enjoy a lot the "sincerity with some cynical jokes thrown in" kind of speech. Make me feel i'm treated like an adult, and i'm more willing to trust people when they talk to me like that.
Opening a speech with "Listen, this is gonna suck..." lends instant credibility.

When you're frightened of something, the best way to combat the fear is to have information that makes you feel more in control of it. I felt the same way hearing this.
The absolute best pre-flight demo on earth. The reason I'm not watching the live pre-flight demo on my flight is because I'm watching this video!
