to me the scariest part of this scene is not the emergency or having to fly upside down. It's the captain telling the purser to tell the blackbox she loves her son. The captain has the understanding that 99.9% they arent getting out of this, and that line may be her last ever coherent sentence the world will hear. Telling someone to say their last words/knowing they are your last words, has got to be one of the most helpless feelings imaginable.
the fact that he takes the time to say that shows how desperate this situation is and how much he knows it. it is intense i agree. i'm talking about the pilot, not the folks in the chat
This entire sequence is just incredible. The acting and the cinematography really bring about the feeling of terror, helplessness and how stressful it can be, as well as how quickly things can go wrong. At the same time, Whip is calm, tactful and confident that he can minimize the casualties and the damage as much as possible, doing whatever is theoretically possible to succeed in that endeavor. I kno the copilot was understandably losing it but Whip kept him from locking up from fear and gave Margaret the confidence to follow his instructions. It really conveys just how terrorizing and stressful that situation can be and how quickly one must decide and act in order to try and regain control of the situation or to at least try and reach the best outcome. Just a really great 8 minute segment that sets the tone of the whole film. Denzel appears to be an actual seasoned pilot and he's one of our greatest actors, of any generation.
@@Potato-_- That's true. It's the pilot's struggle with doing what is right, taking responsibility for his drinking and drug problems and accepting the consequences of everything.
This crash sequence was inspired by the real life crash of Alaska Airlines flight 261 just off the coast of California in 2000. The real crash also had a mechanical failure that led to an uncontrollable pitch down attitude and the real pilots were able to arrest their dive by inverting their plane just like here. Unfortunately, they could not maintain enough thrust for lift and crashed into the ocean with all lives lost. The pilots on that flight are the only people to receive the pilots' association Gold Medal for Heroism without successfully landing their plane.
@@Fabryfg people who laugh and people who get chills about things they suppose to be terrifying lol but obviously the people above didn't experience this incident so they talking out of nonsense
Same as Cap telling his FO to dump fuel, then tells ATC they're dumping fuel. Like a min or two later you hear ATC, "Fuel dump is authotised." Hahaha, yeah, bit late bro.
ATC would not be saying any of those things. In an emergency you can do whatever you need to do in order to land safely. You don't need any authorization. You don't even need to talk to ATC at all. You just fly the airplane.
For those interested - Alaska Flight 261 was the inspiration for this maneuver in the film... and actually did fly inverted to correct for an uncontrolled nose down when a jackscrew controlling the horizontal stab trim failed. Everything except rolling this plane back to level and gliding into a field seems feasible, but realistically the plane would have to land inverted. No one actually survived on Alaskan 261.
Well usually pilots are training to be calm in an emergency. I don't think any pilot would scream like a little girl. He is not helping and is a liability at this point.
Not entirely fiction, something very similar to this happened on an Alaskan Airlines flight. The stabilizer essentially broke, forcing the plane into a dive. At one point, the pilots inverted the plane, but everyone ultimately died.
@@KB-bh9hp Yeah, its even sadder because it was very preventable. Bad maintenance on the stabilizer made it go WAY up, even above what the max limit is, forcing the plane not into just A dive, but THE dive. Straight up completely vertical.
But at first he inverted the plane and then he brought the plane in normal position I just don't understand why the hell did he brought the plane in normal position😌🤔
Any pilot who has the mental acuity to imagine and execute a maneuver like inverted flight to keep a jetliner from a direct plummet and land it, belly slam, onto a field is beyond reproach, regardless of their condition at the time.
@@YogeshKumarV No, they didn't survive. Alaska flight did it as a last resort over the ocean, but they hit at an angle and the rescue effort was very far.
it boils down to problem solving and checklists. he was able to trouble shoot what was wrong with the plane by going over all of the systems required for flight control. he realized something was forcing them into a dive, whatever it was that was forcing them down when the plane was upright should inversely help them to stay aloft when upside down. now obviously there is a lot more skill and knowledge involved, and it's not so simple, but this is what is required of people in urgent situations like this. good thing he woke up, the co-pilot absolutely was not going to pull this off
Movie Watchers: Thank god this only happened in a film. Reality: Two Commercial Aircraft lost all elevation/pitch control. One dived straight into the ocean. The second managed to use flaps & engine throttling to slow down the decent for miles, in a last ditch effort, The captain tried to roll & invert the plane whilst hurtling towards earth only 500ft above ground... The wreckage was later found. It is believe the Captain only managed to get half way through the manoeuvre before hitting earth. Zero souls survived both scenario's.
@@isavv_ It should of been mentioned on the same episode. Both scenarios have been featured on that show. Point is, the film used actual events... the only difference is he pulled it off in this film. A pilot went over this scene saying it's all fake... but his experience is only with 1/2 types commercial airlicraft. He stated the engine would instantly die due to fuel starvation or oil loss on inversion, whilst true on some aircraft others have inline fuel & oil pumps, meaning being upside down wont effect them short term (Like in the film). Also, not all engines immediately fully shutdown on extinguish mode for all aircraft. Some models pump C02 before cutting fuel, others self reignite immediately after extinguish, some fully shutdown etc etc. He does admit he is only experienced in certain aircraft. It was even calculated that the pilot in the second scenario would of likely pulled off the inversion maneuverer if he started 500 feet higher than he did (But that is in hindsight of course). So... it's not actually "impossible" as well as being a maneuverer of worthy thought & the scenario causing the problem has actually happened multiple times.
@@babalonkie From my understanding.. If you lost the horizontal stabilizer on a T-tail plane like the first scenario which was a broken screw dew to not servicing, what's the point of inverting the plane? the stabilizer is loose and not stuck..so whatever you do, you will just fall straight to the ground..

This crash scene dosent do a giant and cool explosion but it does give you chills and wondering constantly “are they gonna make it?” plus it makes you feel like you’re there
1:56 one of the reasons. Read a comment once, because if they lost the fuel, due impact the chances of the plane catching fire because they got rid of most fuel. Not sure if 100% accurate tho ...
There’s a reason why pilots are so calm in stressful situations. I’m currently learning to fly right now and from what I’ve learned the absolute worst thing a pilot can do in any emergency situation is to panic. You have people counting on you to get them from point A to point B and you can’t be stressing at all.
Narrator: SouthJetAir 227 cruises 25,000ft above central Georgia. 0:24 First Officer Evans takes control of the plane and prepares to descend for landing. 0:33 Suddenly, there's a problem. 0:44 Captain Whitaker takes control of the situation and alerts the cabin crew. 0:50 The pilots struggle to control the jet....but it's no use. The plane pitches down sharply and begins to dive. 1:00 Flight 227 is in a dangerous nosedive, risking the lives of everyone on board. 1:23 The plane plummets down at 500 per second, and the controls have no effect. 1:45 Desperate to stop the jet's erratic descent, the pilots deploy the speedbrakes and landing gear to slow it down. 2:02 The pilots give everything they've got, after a while, the plane begins to respond. Captain Whitaker suggests their stabilizer could be broken, if he's right then flying the plane might be impossible. 2:26 The flaps are extended. As it happens, the plane finally pulls out and levels off. 2:36 The pilots prepare to fly manually for an emergency landing, but there's still no control. Flight 227 falls into second terrifying plunge. 3:25 The jet is now falling twice as fast than before. Time is running out. Flight Attendant Margaret Thomason assists the pilots despite the situation. 4:06 SouthJetAir Flight 227 is out of control and falling from the sky, and headed straight for suburban Atlanta. 4:22 Desperate to save his passengers and everyone below, Captain Whitaker is forced to take drastic action. 4:43 Whitaker rolls the MD-88 in a final attempt to save the plane. 5:03 Flight 227 begins going upside down. 5:10 In the cabin, the passengers can do nothing but hold on for dear life, as they spiral towards the earth. 5:31 Amazingly, the plane holds together and it almost works. Despite leveling out, it is still losing altitude. 5:45 The MD-88 is exceeding it's maximum flying limits. The engines cannot withstand such extreme flying. 6:20 Flight 227 can no longer make an airport or hold in the air. The plane with 153 passengers on board is flatlining. 6:34 As they level out, Captain Whitaker realises it's now or never. He must put the plane down somehow. The chaotic motion of the jet turns the cabin into a danger zone and a torture chamber. 7:18 Then the unthinkable happens. The engines of the MD-88, stressed beyond endurance, fail. It's the point of no return. 7:32 Whitaker guides his stricken plane towards an empty field for an inevitable crash landing. Off-camera: SouthJetAir Flight 227 crash lands in an empty field just outside of Atlanta in Georgia, after a tense 10 minute battle for control. Despite the violent impact and the plane being shattered, most have remarkably survived. The cockpit crew is alive and wounded, but 6 people are dead including one on the ground....

If I'm ever in a plane crash, I want Denzel to be the one flying the plane. Even if I don't survive, his comforting voice will give me hope for a few seconds at least.
@@Nex-747 watch the departure when Denzel Washington manually did a steep climb without using the autopilot. That overstresses the elevators which is why they had the issue during the descend.
The stark contrast between both pilots couldn’t be more. Washington’s pilot cool and assertive while evans goes to pieces straight away and stays that way thru-out.
The only thing was Denzel's character was drunk, the first officer was not, that's why a lot of drunk drivers survive crashes and the others involved do not...

Air Alaska flight 261 was also able to fly inverted for a little bit all while the pilots kept a calm manner. Only problem is in real life the outcomes are a lot more evil and unfair. Everyone died.
It was even MORE unfair, as it would have been preventable by just having good maintenance. The stabilizer broke, like the captain thought it did in this movie, making the plane dive even more than in the movie. It went into a COMPLETE vertical dive. The pilots might have been able to save it, but since before it broke that bad it was still broken, they had already lost a lot of altitude. ;
This is something that actually happened in real life on a flight from Cabo to SFO. It was an Alaska Airlines flight. However, those that were on the plane did not survive even though that plane was also inverted. Thoughts and prayers to the family members of the passengers and crew who died in the accident. One thing I gotta make a couple comments on this scene are, while yes, when the plane is inverted, the engines will eventually catch fire but, once they are extinguished, it’s no longer in operation. Any fuel flow in the engines will be stopped.
In the event of an emergency I think I'd prefer the drug addict pilot flying any day over this second-officer nerd who freaks out at the first sign of trouble. Second officer did do very well obeying all commands however.
I watched this film because I heard it was a really good performance by Denzel, really heavy drama, was not expecting to see perhaps the best plane crash ever depicted. Just an incredible balance of insanity but remaining believable.
i guess when malfunction appears on planes, the pilots go to the extreme thoughts on how to save all of their passengers, this is actually amazing, the pilot's bosses should praise them for their work instead of revoking their licenses tbh
Yep exactly, only thing the plane can't do is flying upside down for an extended period of time. Otherwise this was very accurate, they based it off Flight 261.
These are one of them movie clips I have to watch at least once a year.

Pilots have to be calm in these situations till the very end.
Narrator: SouthJetAir 227 cruises 25,000ft above central Georgia. 0:24 First Officer Evans takes control of the plane and prepares to descend for landing. 0:33 Suddenly, there's a problem. 0:44 Captain Whitaker takes control of the situation and alerts the cabin crew. 0:50 The pilots struggle to control the jet....but it's no use. The plane pitches down sharply and begins to dive. 1:00 Flight 227 is in a dangerous nosedive, risking the lives of everyone on board. 1:23 The plane plummets down at 500 per second, and the controls have no effect. 1:45 Desperate to stop the jet's erratic descent, the pilots deploy the speedbrakes and landing gear to slow it down. 2:02 The pilots give everything they've got, after a while, the plane begins to respond. Captain Whitaker suggests their stabilizer could be broken, if he's right then flying the plane might be impossible. 2:26 The flaps are extended. As it happens, the plane finally pulls out and levels off. 2:36 The pilots prepare to fly manually for an emergency landing, but there's still no control. Flight 227 falls into second terrifying plunge. 3:25 The jet is now falling twice as fast than before. Time is running out. Flight Attendant Margaret Thomason assists the pilots despite the situation.
4:06 SouthJetAir Flight 227 is out of control and falling from the sky, and headed straight for suburban Atlanta. 4:22 Desperate to save his passengers and everyone below, Captain Whitaker is forced to take drastic action. 4:43 Whitaker rolls the MD-88 in a final attempt to save the plane. 5:03 Flight 227 begins going upside down. 5:10 In the cabin, the passengers can do nothing but hold on for dear life, as they spiral towards the earth. 5:31 Amazingly, the plane holds together and it almost works. Despite leveling out, it is still losing altitude. 5:45 The MD-88 is exceeding it's maximum flying limits. The engines cannot withstand such extreme flying. 6:20 Flight 227 can no longer make an airport or hold in the air. The plane with 153 passengers on board is flatlining. 6:34 As they level out, Captain Whitaker realises it's now or never. He must put the plane down somehow. The chaotic motion of the jet turns the cabin into a danger zone and a torture chamber. 7:18 Then the unthinkable happens. The engines of the MD-88, stressed beyond endurance, fail. It's the point of no return. 7:32 Whitaker guides his stricken plane towards an empty field for an inevitable crash landing.
Off-camera: SouthJetAir Flight 227 crash lands in an empty field just outside of Atlanta in Georgia, after a tense 10 minute battle for control. Despite the violent impact and the plane being shattered, most have remarkably survived. The cockpit crew is alive and wounded, but 6 people are dead including one on the ground....

If I'm ever in a plane crash, I want Denzel to be the one flying the plane. Even if I don't survive, his comforting voice will give me hope for a few seconds at least.
I'd prefer him than Tom Hanks for sure XD
I wouldnt. He actually caused the elevators to malfunction during departure.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast what part of the movie shown that because I don’t recall that
@@Nex-747 watch the departure when Denzel Washington manually did a steep climb without using the autopilot. That overstresses the elevators which is why they had the issue during the descend.

It's a movie scene
The stark contrast between both pilots couldn’t be more.
Washington’s pilot cool and assertive while evans goes to pieces straight away and stays that way thru-out.
Well it's obvious that Washington's character has more years of experience and the co pilot clearly not.
Even in pieces he still did what he was told. He had no other choice, but at least he stuck it out you know?
The only thing was Denzel's character was drunk, the first officer was not, that's why a lot of drunk drivers survive crashes and the others involved do not...
Props to Robert Zemeckis a director that knows how to evoke great emotion from the audience due to his unique and trailblazer style of visual cinematography. His catalog speaks for itself
The Air Traffic Control phraseology is so authentic in this, it's a really nice detail.
What isn't is the Stuka sound. I always hate when they add it to movies
@@chupacapre My thoughts exactly. The funny thing is that the Stuka sound was just as fake as these sounds in the movies so it's not even like they're adding the sound of n an aircraft, their adding the sound of a damn raid siren.

This is one of the most anxiety inducing aviation scenes ever. Holy crap.

After many many bad flights, watching this scene just makes me totally content with never ever wanting to be on a plane again ever.

You have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning than dying in a plane crash. Remember that.
Monk...describe some bad flights please. I'm glad you're around to tell of it.
You are 100 times more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash. Remember that a plane crash means being covered in worldwide news and media.
What kind of bad flights have you had Monk?

If you want to survive a plane crash just take your camera and start recording.
If you want to survive a plane crash, you won't. Yeah, you won't. Abandon belief, abandon hope. That's your moment. Adrenaline is pumping through your brain, it's a drug, so enjoy it.

True story
@@railyatra8879 not a true story
@@Pinestore not funny
Watching this knowing it's based on a true story that went a lot like this, it damn near brings me to tears.
Air Alaska flight 261 was also able to fly inverted for a little bit all while the pilots kept a calm manner. Only problem is in real life the outcomes are a lot more evil and unfair. Everyone died.
"Here we go.........."
It was even MORE unfair, as it would have been preventable by just having good maintenance. The stabilizer broke, like the captain thought it did in this movie, making the plane dive even more than in the movie. It went into a COMPLETE vertical dive. The pilots might have been able to save it, but since before it broke that bad it was still broken, they had already lost a lot of altitude. ;
Dear me, that is the best emergency routine I have ever witnessed. Couldn't stop laughing or being surprised. 10/10

@@VesperAegisdon’t love the ones that commit pilot suicide
This is something that actually happened in real life on a flight from Cabo to SFO. It was an Alaska Airlines flight. However, those that were on the plane did not survive even though that plane was also inverted. Thoughts and prayers to the family members of the passengers and crew who died in the accident.
One thing I gotta make a couple comments on this scene are, while yes, when the plane is inverted, the engines will eventually catch fire but, once they are extinguished, it’s no longer in operation. Any fuel flow in the engines will be stopped.
That's pretty thoroughly shown in the video.
I love how calm the pilots were
Not sure about the co pilot
@@chrishemsworthstwin3421 ya lol

Video: Plane crash
Ad after video: Are you considering becoming a commercial pilot?
I fcking love how all noise just dissapears for the last seconds before the crash. A very good scene indeed.
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug my friend
6:55 my fav part, its looks so badass
I know right.
Yea
I watched this film because I heard it was a really good performance by Denzel, really heavy drama, was not expecting to see perhaps the best plane crash ever depicted.
Just an incredible balance of insanity but remaining believable.
i guess when malfunction appears on planes, the pilots go to the extreme thoughts on how to save all of their passengers, this is actually amazing, the pilot's bosses should praise them for their work instead of revoking their licenses tbh
I just love how the navigator voice in the airplane was like: Minimum. Minimum. rer
I love how the first pilot was calm and methodical while the other one was all like “i SeE nOtHiNg BuT hOuSeS 😩😩😩”
i understand why he'd be freaking out, according to his radio altimeter he was in the ground
4:05
Meanwhile in the cabin:People being throw around like ragdolls
i like how at the one point it sounded like a stuka when the plane was diving.

So annoying when Foley artists play the Jericho horn any time a plane dives.
The pilot was so calm it seemed he was enjoying a cup of tea with his friends lol
The accuracy of the terminology and how the plane behaved was perfect. I found this after watching Mayday: Air Disasters all day
Yep exactly, only thing the plane can't do is flying upside down for an extended period of time. Otherwise this was very accurate, they based it off Flight 261.
Pilot really said, “Not today chat” ☠️☠️
