Passengers onboard a Spirit Airlines flight Sunday from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Fort Lauderdale were instructed by the crew to prepare for a possible water landing.
I think the point is did the pilot cause panic when the odds of NOT making the airport were X amount. Let's say only a 1% chance of a water landing so the pilot could have explained that instead of getting people nervous. You know the miracle on the hudson was a landing of 1 in 10. Most water landings go bad bc the engines on wings will act as massive scoops that have to enter the water at pretty much same speed. It is a grave situation.
@@mannycastle3011 There are 3 rules pilots adhere to when dealing with an inflight emergency. 1 Aviate 2 Navigate 3 Communicate ( to Flight attendants and Air Traffic Control ) The " feelings " of the passengers are a low priority in an emergency.
their lawyers told them to cry PTSD, so they could sue for millions. so the rest of us who need to fly get to pay for the fact that no one was actually harmed in all this.
Yes, thank you to the pilot for preparing for worst case scenario instead of assuming he’d make it back to the tarmac but end up in the water with all his passengers unprepared.
See that's the problem now, the pilot did everything he could do to inform the passengers and still landed safely but instead of being thankful they didn't land in the Atlantic Ocean everyone is giving off "I'm going to hire an attorney and sue" vibes.
That pilot followed all protocols he mad two announcements one for the passengers letting them know that everything was going to be alright. The second announcement was for the crew to prepare the cabin just in case they couldn’t make it back to Montego Bay. You have to realize the two pilot were busy trying to go through their checklist also fly the plane and work the radios to get back as safely as possible. For the people who were onboard don’t complain and thank those two pilots for getting you back into Montego on the ground safely. Be blessed and thank instead of complaining
you know that for a fact? Like by protocol he wasn't allowed to say "possible emergency water landing?" or did he actually say "possible emergency water landing?"
I have no sympathy for people who always feels the need to go on camera for social media attention. The pilot said just "prepare" as a precaution...and everyone is acting all dramatic like the actually landed in the ocean. People are just so desperate for social media attention. "Oh im was so scared...so let me record myself talking about it so i can post it on social media for attention"🙄😒🙄😒
@@juliobatiz9054 yes, so just in case it happens. People are lazy and complacent, so he had to make sure they take it seriously. People are just out to get a pay day
This pilot exercised caution. Ungrateful passengers in light of all the recent plane issues. Better safe than sorry. Also, every flight is a potential emergency landing!
So are they annoyed that they didn’t get to experience a water landing? That one lady even took the time to prep her phone and start recording after getting the life jacket on. …story sounds negative; should be thanking the pilots and crew instead.
People saying that crew was incompetent and they should be getting more need to sit down and quit being so ungrateful! Your “incompetent crew” landed you safely on land and you’re alive!
why especially on Spirt? They operate one of the youngest fleets in america, All of their planes are relatively new airbus, they have never had a fatal crash, and they have a better safety record than the major 3 airlines.
I fly for a major and my response to that is, "So what? I've had the same happen to me in an Uber. I know the risks. Am I supposed to screw the driver out of his fare and demand a payout because something improbable happened on the ride to the airport (a bicycle broke free from an SUV in front of us and shattered the windshield) or should I thank the driver for keeping us both safe?"
Bullsh!t. I fly for a major and the maintenance problems are vastly overrated. On any given day there are around 45,000 flights departing and arriving in the United States daily. If there were a hundred that had maintenance issues Sunday it still means .998 flights were completed without incident. You learn of one, indict the industry, and complain about fare hikes. For what it's worth, the airline industry is the only one that can boast of having lower fares (based on inflation) than it did 20 years ago. If you have a problem with that go Amtrack or Greyhound.
Bettina, y'all couldn't access the life jackets b/c all of the passengers either wear headphones or are too involved in conversation instead of listening to the flight attendants give instructions on how to do so. Tf?
That's why you must all surrender your life to the LORD, it could have beening your last day on earth, its not about dying, it's about your eternity...... Repent everyone of you..
All of the passengers are emotionally damaged for life. Their kids, parents, next door neighbors who weren't even on the flight are suffering. 100 low life ambulance chasing lawyers (🤡🤡) met the plane with their own grief counselors. Morgan and Morgan on tarmac. Oh , Auntie Em, Auntie Em !!🤑🤕🥵🤯🫣😫🛬🔥
As I said, I’ve had many great vacations there and I’ve never had any issues. Great destination to go for a vacation. Hopefully, you won’t cry when you get robbed wherever you go.
As a pilot for a major, the announcement for FAs to prepare for a crash does not mean the aircraft will crash. The airplane had been in the air for four minutes and reached an altitude of 5000' when the problem occurred. This would have prevented the crew from performing the many duties required in the event of an INEVITABLE water landing within, let's say, a ten-minute window. The flight crew apparently made the announcement precisely for the reason Spirit declared: out of "an abundance of caution". There is no evidence in the accounts given by passengers that the pilots believed a water landing was inevitable or likely.
this sound better but this happens hundreds time before airplanes returning to airport Flight over water this trauma will follow this passenger for life i think the air line should compensated the passenger at least with free flights for one year
Given the current pilot shortage and the trimming of qualifications to get the job, there's no meaningful difference in Spirit's training and that of the majors who also will draw future pilots from the "pilot mills". Admittedly, as a budget carrier, Spirit takes some hits for the inflight amenities. Nonetheless, one shouldn't think that what goes on in the back of the airplane reflects on who they give the keys to an Airbus to.
People are idiots. If the pilot didn't ask them to put on life jackets and they DID do a water landing, they pilot would be at fault. Let me guess, no one on the flight listened to the safety announce prior to departure.......
@@laenaluvv "TH-cam shorts are different from regular short videos" ...Duh! And YES, they do want shorter videos (NOT SHORTS) and you can argue with me all you want, I know what I'm talking about.
Once upon a time, not too long ago though; plane issues of this magnitude were extremely uncommon, and so were plane crashes. Now, it's a weekly occurrence about to turn daily.
Nonsense. Airline flying today is exponentially safer than it was even 20 years ago. I say that as a pilot for a major who remembers the disasters you seem to forget--Tenerife, Lockerbie, the Delta 1011 taken out by wind shear, TWA 800, the security breaches of 9/11, AA Flight 191, the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 aircraft that crashed shortly after takeoff from Chicago O'Hare Airport killing all 271 persons aboard... . The list is long. The fact is, in the last 23 years only one passenger has been killed on a U.S. major. Your assertion that "plane issues of this magnitude" are a daily occurrence is B.S. Try being informed. You might like it.
why she is traumatized? not pleasent experience of course, but lukily everything is ok. And thought aviation is promoted as one of the safest fields, risks still exist.
Well it’s Spirit Airlines after all if it’s not falling apart. It would not be Spirit Airlines the cheapest airlines where even gremlins. Go nope it’s already coming apart at the seams. As they walk past the duct taped fuselage.
This is why I don’t fly at all. Give me automobile accidents any day! The fear of knowing you are going down under water, cannot escape and breathing in everyone’s else’s air and snot😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
A water landing puts you on top of the water, not under. Planes float like boats unless they crash land. If they do a normal water landing, it's similar to landing on land.
Going down _under_ water? If your plane goes down underwater so quickly that you cannot escape, you won’t have to worry about breathing in everyone else’s air and snot, because you won’t be breathing for very long - you’ll either have hit so hard and fast that the plane broke apart and you were killed instantly, or it filled with water so fast that you drowned before you got a chance to breathe in anyone else’s snot. In a modern commercial aircraft, you’ll probably have about an hour to get out before the plane sinks - much more if it’s one of the planes that have a ditching switch that closes off all valves, inlets, etc which would be below the water line. To point to possibly the most well-known example of ditching nowadays, take a look at some of the footage from the “miracle on the Hudson.” That plane came down extremely hard, resulting in extensive damage when it hit, which meant that there was water flooding into the fuselage immediately. Everybody still had plenty of time to get out, and there’s a lot of photos and video footage of people hanging out on the wings as they wait to get rescued, the plane sitting low in the water, with most of the passenger compartment above the waterline.
Spirit trying to make it seem it wasn't a big deal. To the passengers who thought they were going to die, it was a huge deal. To the pilots who announced an emergency water landing, it was obviously very serious. Spirit, take some accountability !
It's beyond me how people can sound so ungrateful instead of saying thanks to God and the pilot's safe landing 🤔
Did you see who was talking? " I bein tramatized fo lifez , I'z be suen to get stacks . . . "

Pilots prepared the passengers for all possibilities. Good work!

Did he say, "possible emergency water landing" or "emergency water landing?" kind of a big difference, don't you think?
This was a stretch for a story… the pilot landed safely despite mechanical issues, passengers want to take advantage of the situation.
See that's the problem now, the pilot did everything he could do to inform the passengers and still landed safely but instead of being thankful they didn't land in the Atlantic Ocean everyone is giving off "I'm going to hire an attorney and sue" vibes.
this is why we need to hold people who sue liable, if they lose a lawsuit.
That’s why you pay attention when the flight attendants do their safety overview.
That's what you pay for flying budget airlines
Some of the equipment were malfunctioned
At least the pilot made it safely on ground.
I applaud 👏 the pilots God bless them

"possible emergency water landing" or "emergency water landing"? There's a difference, and I wonder what FAA protocol is.

Don't Spirit flights come with a complimentary water landing and one bad acting passenger?

That’s only on terrible Tuesdays.😁
Never a dull day on Spirit. At least they get a food credit.
