- You can’t help but get excited when you fly with us and see a solar eclipse. We adjusted Flight #870 from Anchorage to Honolulu on March 8, 2016 just so our passengers could catch the solar eclipse from 35,000 feet. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/1UNYZbi

I can't be totally positive, but I think he really wanted us to look at that.
xDDD
Meredith Williams HAHHAHAH HOLY GOD
What did he want us to do??

+xxXXmilitoXXxx thanks for subtitle :D
hahaha. u really counted it??
If I ever listen to a solar eclipse broadcasted live on the radio I want this guy.
On radio 😂😂😂😂
lol no shit
An angle from this high in altitude really puts into perspective the fact you’re in the moon’s shadow during a solar eclipse. Really incredible video.
So the moon is less than 70 miles across?
@@nattybumppo4151 No, the reason is that the sun is much wider than the moon, so the shadow is a lot narrower once it reaches the earth.
the sun & moon travel east to west every day. the eclipse moves west to east.
@@ronkalinovsky6898 That’s not how shadows work my guy.
@@nattybumppo4151That is how shadows work, in fact. It’s just that most light sources on earth come from small sources that are smaller than the object that the shadow is from, so their shadows seem to get wider at a further distance rather than smaller. As for shadows from sunlight, they usually appear to stay the same size because of how far away the sun is. However, in the case of an eclipse, the relative distances between the earth, sun, and moon, and the fact that the sun is bigger than the moon, cause a cone-shaped shadow to be projected onto the earth, and the spot where the shadow touches the earth surface is far smaller than the moon - only a few miles across.

This time the window seat is truly important
It's probably the cockpit
@@blucanhank382 no its not
@@adamdoy5651 Yes, how stupid. Clearly there is no steering wheel, so it can't be the cockpit :D
@@blucanhank382 It's probably whatever you want it to be. Just keep it to yourself :)
@@janwinterhagen8388, such an applause in cockpit? No. It's in passenger cabin.
The way hes explaining it makes you get excited too. He can be a great solar eclipse tour guide. You can tell he knows a lot about it.. totality, 7 oclock, 10 o'clock, prominence, elongating, diamond ring.
Right they hating on him
@@MichelleHarris-en4qxyeah why is so much people hating on him?
I would get more excited if someone’s react like that.
@@michelm3832it’s his voice and how loud he is , no one is hating
After seeing an eclipse I can positively say this man’s reactions are 100% in line.
This video is best viewed in mute
yes
absolutely. was hoping for a nice song that went with it but no. Thank the good Lord for the mute button.
+Erik “E T” T you want me to download it and add music?
+Erik “E T” T Eh, I tried but I don't think its HD because my phone only supports up to 480p. Can you check on my channel for me?
Correction: This video is best viewed when you close your eyes
I feel bad for who ever was sitting next to him on the plane....
I thought the same thing. Would totally ruin my experience unless I had headphones. 2017 will have one across the whole USA and I intend to view in the middle of a field far from as many people as possible, for this very reason.
My thought exactly :D
I agree completely. Ugh, nothing worse than a group of cheering, clapping ninnycapoos to ruin some great shots and video -_-
A hug from Kitkat!! Ik right
I found "mute" works fine to get rid of their stupid noises....
I watched this video yesterday and I thought it was exaggerated. I watched the eclipse today and this is exactly how I behaved. These total eclipses are even better in person, and much bigger!
Honestly one of the coolest videos on the internet. You can see the entirety of the moons shadow
Best porn soundtrack ever.
hahaha
I was thinking the same thing
my brother thought that I'm play the porn scene haha 😂 😂 😂
+HigherPlanes must have jizzed himself a couplatimes
XDD
That is great to hear someone so genuinely excited. He will have that memory for the rest of his life. Very cool moment.
How many more will he see? Four? haha I bet he wants to chase all the rest.
Shit
Mental
Sandra exactly
Well would you look at that 😂
Who else got emotional watching that!
I'm sitting here waiting for the eclipse of April 8 2024. I drove to Quebec to ensure clear weather
The guy kind of ruined the video constantly saying “here it comes”, “oh my god” and “look at that”!
@@GriceProductions totally. he could have had a couple of one word narrations, but damn consummate american.
It makes my heart melt when someone is so passionately excited about something. F the haters
"Here we go" "look at that" "totality"
Don't forget "oh my gooooood"
O my God 😂😂😂
He keeps shouting random science words to sound cool as well.
PROMINENCES
@@o_sch not really, what words?
Man I wish more people got that excited about something. I got joy just hearing how happy he was. This was truly amazing. And my new favorite phrase of all time is "omg, PROMINENCE"
You provided one of the few comments in support of the gentleman filming the event. 99.8% of the comments just show how shallow a mind with computer/cell phone and a data plan can be. It's called PASSION....the gentleman was PASSIONATE about the rare event he was witnessing. A total solar eclipse is a MONUMENTAL phenomemon. Most of these idiots are clueless to the perfect mechanics, geometry and timing that must come together to produce such an event. And to view it - from a commercial jetliner - is a truly awe-inspiring experience to which the gentleman was reacting. The fact that he was reciting the correct terms ("prominence", "diamond ring", "Baily's Beads") throughout the recording showed this is something he had more than a passing acquaintance with. Then again, some people get that excited about Game of Thrones or some similar mindlessness.
nwest127 thank you! ❤
I thought he sounded like a nice guy :)
While he may be well versed in eclipses, to me it just sounds like he is just trying to show off his knowledge to other passengers. These events should be admired and observed in silence in my opinion. Real physicists are humbled by these natural phenomenons. They understand just how irrelevant the human race is in the universe.
Bro. Tolliver 👏👏👏❤❤
the voice crack at roughly 0:30 really sold this for me lol, what a cool video with some of the best commentary i could have asked for
His emotions peaked when he was saying moon😂😂😂
@@vaunb2003 MOOooon
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE BRO FJCKDAMNIT NOW I CANT UNHEAR IT
I can sure see why he was so excited at seeing the eclipse after just seeing one myself here in Akron, OH. Talk about surreal and mind-blowing!😮
"The mOOOooOOOns shadow is coming"
Don Beck That ridiculous voice crack😂
Mark Harvey Something tells me that from him screaming enthusiastically about everything his whole life
Don Beck It would suck to be sitting next to him
Mark Harvey it would to be in the same plane
Luisa Lima that is true😂😂
OH MY GOD!!!!! LLOOOK AT DAAAAT!!!!!
+Kush Master TOTALITY!
22 times!
haha
+Kush Master LOOK AT DATT OH MAH GAD...PROMINENCES! JAYYYY IT'S A FUCKIN' WHAAYLE JAYYYY
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
This is so epic, this gentleman also made it all more exciting. He's like a well-spoken commentator for a football match, just only for the space enthusiasts. This has put a smile on my face, and every year or so, I come back to this video.
I actually enjoyed the wholesome joy this man and many others expressed. We get enough negative bs, so I choose to savor the good instead of make fun of him. It really was an amazing thing to experience.
He has no consideration for others around him, hes being annoying and ignoring social etiquette because the moon is infront of the sun? Nope, he can be excited and not a dickhead at the same time and he is not doing that.
@@CaIeb1get over it you sad fuuk. You will never no joy like that guy😂
Step 1, Mute sound on this video. Step 2, play Interstellar sound track, Dreaming of the Crash. Step 3, Enjoy!
But the Interstellar soundtrack would only make me think of Interstellar.
I fucking hated the ending of Interstellar.
Interstellar was best.
NickFlightX or better yet, Cornfield Chase as it's building:)
Or Darude - Sandstorm :D
wow. thanks!
Wow: 5
Look at that: 25
Oh my God: 21
Here we go: 5
+Mogens Beltoft I really appreciate the fact that you actually counted
forgot:
prominence
totality
Also forgot
Bailey's beads
Corona
Thank you for counting these!😁
I counted 22 OhMyGods 😂
What an experience this gentleman has experienced. This has been probably one his life’s top moments!
He’s just gotten the best seats in the house to watch an unique event.
Everyone's laughing from his reaction but if You've ever seen an eclipse You know You had the same reaction. Unbelievable event..
not really. i would put all my concentration into engraving that moment into my soul (and a camera probably) rather that blither like an idiot. i've seen three eclipses so far and one of them was a totality so perfect to be seen only once a century ( 2009). yet i definitely did not act like i was having an orgasm while being high on LSD.
JKinder313 Zip it Zippy
I've seen 2, and it's really exciting, but I didn't talk that much, I just enjoyed it totally mesmerized. But I understand his reaction.
It's stupid.
He sounds soo annoying. XD
Right
1:00 "Doh my god corona!"
Oddly fitting 4 years later.
i was thinking same 😊
this dude was time traveler i think 😳
Corona is actually the ring(sun). Is not meant to be COVID-19
@@MrK-Lyrics wooowww isn't it just crazy how we're all aware of that???!!!
@@MrK-Lyrics you obviously missed the joke
@@Carlit0Tit0 I get it, idk why I replied that 2 months ago
I think it's awesome that he shared this. That's beautiful
Seriously though this is some of the best footage i've ever seen of this phenomen
Prominences! Diamond ring! Oh my gawd! Look at that! Here it comes! Look at those prominences! Totality!
On a brighter note, it really was a beautiful view. Thanks for uploading this video!
Lmfaoooooo
It's elongated!! Look it's elongated!!!
Oh my god! Totality! Ahh my gaawwddd look at that!
My God! It's full of stars!
+Anthony McKimm And poor Dave was never heard from again.
When I first saw this video, I thought the guy's reaction was overblown and a bit silly & ridiculous. After witnessing the August 2017 total solar eclipse from Missouri, I can totally understand & relate to what he's feeling. There's no words to describe the power of totality over our mere human emotions!
No
Yes, and that's exactly why you STFU in totality.... goddamnit
Why not just be happy for others happiness? I don’t understand
k.
I saw it from Missouri too
This is my first Total solar eclipse. And seeing it in Texas from my own eyes is breathtaking. It’s so much better seeing on your eyes than using any expensive camera.
Having just seen a total solar eclipse in person, I can completely understand the sense of euphoria that this man feels. I got to see the eclipse from Dublin, Ohio and to see the diamond ring, corona, and solar prominences is truly indescribable. As I watched with my family, I was also doing play by play and cheering as if my favorite player had just hit a home run in the World Series.
This guy is really endearing. Made me smile to hear his excitement. Cut him a break, this was a rare and unique experience that he obviously appreciated greatly. Good for him.
Our Alaska flight did a 360 to allow us to view, even though we didn't get totality like this! Awesome job Alaska!
I've seen it once, from the surface, and I will never see it in my life again… Incredible!
You have to see it live to fully understand and appreciate the experience. Saw my first total eclipse this last 4/8 in Avon Lake OH. An unforgettable experience of a life time
Did I just listen to a guy climax?
yes
Some call it a moongasm.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!! here we go!!!!!!!
Lol best comment
+Mirror hahah nice
It's pretty sad how people complain about everything. Hearing someone excited about a unique experience about the amazing world we live in is a beautiful thing. This video is one of the best things out there in recent days. Cheers to everyone who is constantly in awe of the beauty of nature and of the opportunity we have to share this with each other.
Well said, thank you!
THAT'S the view I needed to see. Thank you.
Amazing footage! I'm sure it looked different to the naked eye than what it looks like on this video ... or maybe not. But oh man, that view, and I LOVE what the sky looked like during full eclipse. Just incredible! Thanks for sharing
If I had a dollar for every time he said 'oh my god', I could pay for an iphone 5!!! lololll
5? How about the 8 when it's released. :-)
My3dviews can't expect much from dinosaurs
How about the 8 before it's released?
you could buy an eclipse flight with those oh my god dollars. glad he's excited. must have been a really cool thing.
Add that too the # of times I said it yesterday and you could probably buy Apple!!! AMAZING!!!
Before you comment on the guy who's capturing the video... Think about how patient he's been his entire life waiting to see something like this. Most people don't! My gawd, prominence!
Totality.
Dude, I went to Palembang to see the eclipse, except when totality came, it was cloudy.
Look at that! It's coming!!! =D
All the more reason for him to shut up and enjoy the moment.
+tinaUNDAcova Fatality xD
@@tinyturnip7676Precisely ‼️
I love this man's excitement And enthusiasm And Just amazing Bliss 🎉 Breath of fresh air ❤️ Tfs 🙏🏻💕 amazing
Example of Cosmic Awesomeness
This is beautiful. It;s a combination of my favorite passions. Astronomy and aviation. Like something out of Interstellar! ; )
It sad that you people can't get caught up in someone else's excitement of an event. I'm very sorry you have to find things to be annoyed about. SHOUT LOUDER, DUDE!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!! CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes!!
+kamwrites Yap, and it would be even sadder to be sitting next to him on this, or any other flight.
pk
+kamwrites I like to enjoy events in peace or in a quieter manner. It's so hard to appreciate the beauty while this guy is shouting.
I agree 😀

He just be livin his best life
To really enjoy this video just mute the audio
Just look at it.

Shadow proves flat earth, shadow is not a circle projected on a ball it's a eliplical shadow on a flat surface. Watch NASA fails on TH-cam
Now that is a view you would rarely ever get from that altitude!!! Pilots were probably excited over this one! Beautiful!
Edit: I witness the eclipse of 2024 in Dallas & I had the SAME reaction! 😂
thank you for sharing this!

wow that is so beautiful and trippy! this whole video looks amazing! thanks for sharing
I love this guys enthusiasm. He obviously knows the subject of eclipses and is the right guy to appreciate this. He's a having a scientific freak out.
+Kane Alson A lot of people don't know that the plane was full of astronomers from the American Astronomical Society. Astronomer Mike Mentrianakis was the guy freaking out. He isn't just some obnoxious passenger shouting. He was saying what they all understood and appreciated. They were most likely making similar observations and remarks from their own windows. Mike lives for this. Totality! Totality!!!.....
I think you meant scientific geek out?
I think you mean orgasm.
andyandeloda I think you mean nerdgasm

PROMISES !
OH MY GODD!
PROMISES!
1:02 "I got Corona.there it is!"
2020: I give you another type of corona.
1:01
Corona: "And i took that personally"
LOLLL
The Coronavirus is literally named after the Sun's corona during an eclipse because the virus is shaped like a corona.
I laughed way too hard at this comment 😂 That was great
Wow!! Now that is SPECTACULAR, way better view from the view of a plane high in the sky than being on the ground. That is incredible!!
When I was in Tunnel Hill Illinois for the 2017 eclipse, we actually briefly saw the shadow sweep over us. It was absolutely blink and you miss it but it was still visible coming over the hills. Utterly stunning. I'd have given a finger to be on that plane.
Thanks God for the Mute button.
That is how I feel anytime I see a sports game and have to endure the shitty commentator not shutting his mouth. At least this is interesting and worthy of excitement.
I never have the sound on when I watch most videos. Good thing that I didn't have it on with this one.
Look at that
Lol
disliked and disloved
Kudos to this guy and his passion for this event. Him and others, part of the American Astronomical Society, got Alaska Airlines to change this flight schedule so that they could witness this event. You all are complaining about his excitement. . . but this is part of his life. You'd be just as excited for this, too! Thanks for the awesome video :)
The fact that we have our technology today to document these events is pretty outstanding. I can’t imagine how earlier civilizations reacted to this!! Just amazing!!
This is really cool to see...I Love your excitement❤
people sitting at the left side window seats: are we a joke to you?
Aww he really appreciates this. I can totally understand his enthusiasm. I share it too.
TruAgape1234 ageed! I'd freak out too!!
I think we may have found the "will you just look at that" Guy from Ed Bassmaster
He's Hilarious.
Thank you for helping me get ready for tomorrow's eclipse!
Oh my god! Look at that!
Wow, that is so cool. Saw it from my driveway, top down sitting in my Toyota convertible in Fort Worth, Texas.
This is the new "double rainbow" video!!! You can't be annoyed at the videographer's commentary. You gotta love it! The images and the whole flight. Good job Alaska airlines!
I most certainly CAN be annoyed, and WAS.😌
Waiter: how spicy would you like your curry?
Man: Totality!
❤ this is freaking amazing 👏 thx you dude! I love how excited I got for you too haha
Gorgeous!

Thank goodness for the volume control is all I can say!
That’s pretty much what it feels like to experience totality. Exhilarating! I saw live in Oregon in 2017. Epic experience!!
Thumbs up for watching on mute!
Great, great job. Thanks for sharing!
That is the coolest perspective to have other than the ISS. Thank you for sharing!

Ahh- 42 times
Here we go - 4 times.
( Obsessed with OMG) - Such a theist :3
Thanks for count
To me, the most amazing is to see the actual shadow on the clouds.
This was awesome! Thank you!

Yeah friend this man is killing everyone off by laughter and anger. Really this is gonna be a nice joke with this guy. If I saw this guy today, bet I would really kill myself on laughter!
Having once been under the shadow of the moon during the 11 Aug 1999 total solar eclipse in Europe, I can fully understand his excitement. There's something distinctly primordial about the sun suddenly disappearing. I had exactly the same reaction and burst into tears on my recording of that day. Now I'm looking forward to being in Oregon in Aug 2017
Tim Lincecum Fuck you, then.
definitely is
I'm moving to Oregon in 3 days can't wait
Each fucking eclipse, we've been blessed with fucking clouds for the full duration
Yeah, seeing this with your own eyes will really touch you like it did this guy. For a rare amount of humans it is the most amazing sight you will ever directly behold.
That really was super cool of you guys to spend the extra money in fuel to adjust the flight path to give your customers a truly once in a lifetime amazing view of an eclipse from the air! That's some few people will ever get to experience.
This video started playing loudly on my phone, and my family called out from the next room, & asked me to turn the porno down I was watching!!👀
HHAHHAHAHA
thank you for posting this, can only imagine how great it must have been to experience such an event
I gotta say this is pretty awesome only a handful of people witnessed this at 20,000 ft in the air.
Ive never seen someone so excited for something they only know grows vegetation and gives warmth.
Does anyone pay attention to the eclipse instead of the guy
Oh yeah, I was completely immersed in that unbelievably stunning view.
...until I turned my volume up.
Darian Washburn I had to go back and watch it a second time with the mute on because oh my God
I tried, but it was too hard. I should have put mute or put my earphones down, but I was hoping the guy would shut up at some point.
Darian Washburn like that profile pic
Darian Washburn what eclipse ?
870 in the title is probably for how many times he says "Oh my gawd"
Lol, it really isn't though
GamerRusith 😂
I’ve seen two total and one partial. One from a small airplane and two from the ground. It is one of the most incredible natural events ever ! Thanks for a front seat view. A video is neat but nothing like the experience in person.
The horizon ring is so cool
