I work so hard to be able to publish a new video every Friday. By extremely popular demand, this week I decided to publish 2 videos: one today and one, of course, this Friday. I hope you'll appreciate the efforts I constantly put into this channel. Thanks :)

I have a doubt. Did flight has the ODOMETER which is counting kms like cars and bikes?
Of course. You’re always appreciated by us all. :))
TheFlightChannel AWESOME!
Wow dude you
loved my comment I'm your fan and i guess your a real pilot
Hi let's ally
A video where no one dies feels nice
It is but I bet the passengers were almost shitting themselves.

I think that 27yr old from Kenya should have never made it to the airport alive.

@@CSAGFleetz I think she does and you don't. He probably was schizophronic and these people are really sick. It's like having cancer in your thoughts and brain, which makes you lose control of what you do and perceive.
However, this definititaly doesn't justify the fact that he entered the cockpit and almost had 300 passengers killed. All I am saying maybe there should be extra rules and regulations for passengers with mental disabilities when they fly.

Copied comment. I saw this same one on another tfcs video about flight 3054

A freefall and a very sharp unstable turn are my two biggest fears while flying. I can’t imagine how those poor people felt..or how they managed to make it another 3 hours on the plane. So glad everyone survived.
good sir, this never really happened. this channel makes up storylines for fun and acts them out on flight sims :)
Axtinct why would he make all of these up?
Annabelle Dolan for fun, like i said. some of them are real, but this one in specific is fake.
Axtinct how do you know that then
Annabelle Dolan my question is, how *didn't* you know that?
*Plane looses altitude at 30,000 feet per min*
“I didn’t want to crash the plane, I swear”
Why is this hard to understand though?
@@JediEmil because the law must acknowledge both intent and outcome. Regardless of if it was his intention, he should have been punished. Because he quite nearly caused a tragedy. A drunk pilot is charged, a drunk driver is charged, each examples of diminished cognitive abilities, but maintaining legal responsibility.
Also, can I commit mass murder and just claim I'm mentally challenged? Should every school shooter in America just be let go because of mental instability? Think before you comment.
@@DrG65199 no but they should be taken to burger king first.

Just by watching the aircraft falling down, I thought it was over. A massive salute to the F/O for saving hundreds of lives.
True
If the plane actually crashed it would have been one of the most deadliest air accidents in the world.
Eventually, this event led to injuries : a flight attendant who broke her ankle due to the erratic moves of the 747. 4 passengers suffered slight injuries as well. Let's thank the two U.S. passengers (both from Sumter, South Carolina) who helped the captain to extract Mukonyi from the flight deck.

He was right, they WERE following him; he was going to Kenya, the passengers were going to Kenya!
I dont get why people tryed to file law suites. Those pilot's and passengers saved there lives. The door was not loked because there was no rule to say it needed to. People should be more thankful that they left that flight alive.
Because they were Americans, and that's what they do in US.
Yeah, suing is stupid when you're alive.
One could argue that the suit is against the airline for faulty policies that ensure the safety of everyone. After all you're trusting them with your life. They owe you that much an airworthy aircraft, a competent crew, maintenance, and a set of rules that keep you safe.
BA failed. The FO and the crew are heroes, spite of bad safety policies, they were able to avoid disaster. One would hope that the government or a court would impose heavy penalties so this doesnt happen again... but a few months later we all know what happened.
Exactly. I think the people trying to sue are too greedy and have failed to be thankful to God, and grateful to this crew, for saving their lives in the face of grave danger.
@@yasminbarry7941 Hopefully they thank the crew more than God for saving their lives
I don't care how panicked he was, he tried to crash the airplane.
Yeh we get that but his motive wasn't "terrorism" or some other ideology to hijacking etc.
@No one caresAn attempted mass murder is if the perpetrator deliberately does so. Someone who is panicking, suffering from psychosis, does not do so intentionally, of his own will.
To your query that this is an attempted mass murder ... If I want to take it from the point of view that the term is meant only in general and the consequence would be mass death, then yes. But if he was raving in the situation, I'm not sure if this is the right term to use. Not to mention, that doctors said it was not his intention to hurt anyone. His brain went haywire.
@No one cares you do know paranoia/ mental illness causes you to act irrationally? In his mind everybody on that plane was trying to kill him. Obviously to you and me this is ridiculous but to someone with severe paranoia it's just as logic as saying the sky blue.
@@skaixx1864 , he should have never gotten on the plane then.
"What was the most exciting thing that ever happened to you Grandad?"

@@johnwedgbury6817 it turns exciding once you survive it..lol
When the video said that only the co-pilot was left in the cockpit, I was sure it was gonna be another Andreas Lubitz. Good thing that crazy passenger wasn't as calculating as that. Those pilots are heroes in my book.
A pilot who is skilled and can make wise decisions instantly in emergency situations is a real pilot! Coz it's not easy to recover a plane from a stall or a dive things go out of control in no time and by the time u understand the situation and take the necessary actions it's too late! Hats off to the 1st officer and the passengers and the captain coz they helped the 1st officer and saves the lives of the other passengers indeed inspire the plane being in a stall and descending rapidly!
'Unstable man' is a rather polite understatement! Thankfully all survived, the poor pilot had his scheduled break rudely interrupted by a complete phycho but recovered expertly, what a day!
It's a miracle the plane didn't become damaged due to the severe pitch and speed. The turbulence could've damaged the stabilizer rudders, wings or anything.
Edit: Whoa almost 600 Likes, Thanks!!!🛩🛫✈✈✈
That was when the plane reached 42,000Ft.
Dam well built plane.
They call it queen of the sky for a reason
Its a miracle that the wings doesnt shear off
Yes, well wouldn't it have been better to land immediately to have the aircraft assessed instead of continuing to the destination?
The guy was "unstable"? Well, that's an understatement, thank goodness the flight crew were able to stop this guy, and most importantly, I'm glad he wasn't successful in crashing the aircraft. It's also incredible that several people filed law suits against British Airways, instead of thanking the flight crew for their actions to bring the 747 under control and preventing it from falling out of the sky in a stall.
MagnumMike44
I agree. British Airways didn't do a thing wrong. Why some people sued amazes me. I'd thank the flight crew for their ability to have the ability to get control of the passenger and most exceptionally the plane. You all are great. Thank you to TheFlightChannel for an amazing video you made. Keep up the great work!
Probably got wind from a layer about the money they could get.
With Americans , it is ALL about THE MONEY. Otoh they , the Yanks in the Lawsuit, expected to be flown to Nairobi in a safe and efficient manner. Clearly that did not happen. What is really unfair is there is class action by US citizens and it is settled and then all the rest get to pick up the crumbs. Many of the others on the flight will never b e able to fly again through fear yet they get a fraction of the compensation of the Yanks. .. go figure.
Just so you know, some of us "yanks" get irritated about the excessive law suits as well. This clearly was not a case of BA doing anything wrong.
I concur. It would seem the allure of money clouded the persons from being truly grateful to be a-live. Was the security that bad in there view? There is always the unexpected to contend with. By taking the court settlement it seems to negate the fact that all people were saved in a heroic act on part of the pilots.
I was cabin crew on 747s, BA between 1974 and 1978 and flew the Heathrow-Nairobi-Johannesburg route many times (in those days it was always from Heathrow). I always hated the trip because each sector was so long and the aircraft always full. Bloody hard work. We had to transit for fuel in Frankfurt, Germany, then overnight in Nairobi before picking up the incoming flight from Heathrow, the following day. Then we took it to Joburg. Of course these days they do the whole thing in one go. I remember one day, arriving at the airport to pick up the incoming flight to continue down to Joburg and saw the engineer from the incoming flight (the one we were going to take over) talking to his counterpart who had just brought the plane in. Turns out the nose wheel light on the cockpit indicated that the nose wheel wasn't fully locked - even though the 747 had landed safely twenty minutes before. They 'guessed' that it was just the indicator light malfunctioning, so the captain asked us whether or not we were willing to take off with this unresolved problem. We said that we were willing (idiots .. but I was only 21 and my brain wasn't fully formed yet). Thing is, with Nairobi, the aircraft is always PACKED as it sets out for Joburg, the ruway is short, and the air is thin due to the heat and the altitude of the airport. Which means .... you don't have much wriggle room if the nose wheel did collapse when hurtling down the runway. Anyway, we took off OK .. and landed OK in Joburg. But thinking about this crazy guy on the flight deck is chilling. In the 1970s we had a lot of highjacking, and we had had training on how to deal with that (which didn't amount to much other than "be nice to the hijackers, but not TOO nice" (we Brits!!) and the new ruling was that all cockpit doors would be strengthened with steel and impossible to open from the outside. Quite why, in 2000 the flight deck door was open and only one crew member present is beyond me. It's not as though terrorism has gone away, and in fact it's now much worse.
i remember this incident, interesting factoid, one of the passengers that restrained the crazy guy that stormed the cockpit was none other than bryan ferry, the lead singer of roxy music
Wow I didn't know that. I don't know why the passengers who helped out didn't get some kind of recognitions.
What’s Roxbury music
Not true. Ferry and his son were on the flight, but apparently their involvement only stretched to videoing the whole thing.
Yes, the James Bond of music
He joked about it in an interview, mentioning the two burly blokes who grabbed the guy, and that yes of course he would have waded in with some of his Geordie street training....he was barely awake, bleary, conscious of people fighting, and the turbulence being a bit more than usual, but then he was always understated....thank God they all landed safely.
I’ve have passed by here a few times and had chosen a few of your videos, at random, to watch. What I like most about your presentations is the fact that it requires the viewer to actually read the screen instead of mindlessly listening to somebody drone on and on about their presentation. Your videos allows me...No..No...No....“REQUIRES”... Me to set back and immerse myself in your video. I find myself getting almost as intent and focused on the imminent situation ahead of them, just as the flight deck officers are doing.I find myself there...... with the crew..... praying for a SAFE, walk away landing. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Keep up the good work!
Oh yeah.....I just subscribed.
Very well said.

Big part of this story that no one has mentioned is one of the passengers who helped restrain the guy was a *VERY* famous & influential British Rock star! *Bryan Ferry* from *Roxy Music!*
I've heard he was on the flight with his son but they only videoed it. The people helped apprehend the guy were two American passengers.

Never ceases to amaze me just how easy it was to get in the cockpit in those days. One would think that just as a matter of general safety, all cockpit doors would remain locked at all times.
but there was accident when pilot killed everybody when cocpit was locked. Before the rule that htere has to be at least 2 pilots. People tried to enter the cocpit to save themsevels but could not.
but actually same probably can happen with bus drivers, i think somebody can come to bus driver and turn his wheel to side and make a crash. But havent heard this.
He was scared and didn’t mean to harm anyone. Tell me how he thought walking to the cockpit and taking control of the yoke and putting the 747 into a dive was gonna help him? Somethings up here.
I think that 'something" is a lack of understanding psychotic delusions.
um the dive was caused by the stall which was caused by the banking etc...all we know is he tried to interfere with the controls. i highly doubt he even had a clue what he was doing and would have even known how to send a plane into a dive. so we do not know if he intended to crash or hijack.
religion of peace gets a pass, don't you know?
Mental illness can explain actions, but never excuses them.
I could explain what irrationality means but you wouldn't understand if you had to ask such a question.
Imagine how scary it must've been.
Also wondering what happened to old people with heart ailments ,no problems for kids etc whatever happened to the overhead luggage etc ?

Yesterday was traveling in plane n saw 2 men arguing something near cockpit door..
I Suddenly got feeling ohh "flight channel" will now get some content for their new video
A man tries to take the lives of 398 people and gets away with it scot-free-because _he's_ the victim, you see. The suffering that poor "unstable" fellow endures is far more significant than the threat to society he poses, apparently. And how impressively tolerant and politically correct of the Kenyan government to have so generously accommodated this would-be killer instead of prosecuting him for attempted mass murder.
But his motive wasn't murder. Unfortunately non western countries have laws that either don't make sense or just different. We have only been given part information, you don't know the whole story behind this person.
I do agree that minus cultural difference, generically there should have been some consequence for this person.
Jason Cavitt , I guess they have a worse legal system than us. Unbelievable! If I were a sociopath, I would move to Kenya.
i aint buying that bs madeup story. he just had a good lawyer.
The question is not that he is a victim or not. He was mentally sick. Ok he didn't go in jail, but in most countries, such dangerous people are kept in psychiatric hospital instead of being only at home with meds. They cannot escape.
I hope it was the same with this guy in kenya. Maybe a shortcut in the way the story is summarized suggested us the opposite.
They should have all kicked his ass .
I've edited this comment so you have no idea why its got so many likes and what any of the comments mean :)
When I think of commonplace things in Africa, justice is not at the top of the list.
that's exactly what I said
It only matter when you commit genocide.
Wrong. He was remanded to psychiatric treatment, likely mandatory, until he was deemed fit to reenter society. Why lie to people like that?
It would all depend on which Tribe He belonged to ~ all of Africa being Tribal.. Would like to think the Pilots & pax would treat him in les ceremonial European fashion ~ I sure would 😊
So....this person is still out there.....possibly getting onto other airplanes.....great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was before measures were taken in regards to access to the cockpit. It is practically impossible for anyone outside of the crew to enter the cockpit these days without permission from the pilots.
@@sjwdestroyer6336 yea them doors are blast proof. They are also looking into double doors now.
@@jordiramirez405 double doors? like an airlock? so theycan open one door and close the other so nobody can come in ?
Volkov I’m not exactly sure how it’ll be but I think ICAO or the FAA said it was looking into implementing double doors.
Volkov I assume it might be like an airlock
Excellent as always!! What were the ppl trying to sue for?! They're damn lucky the guy was brought under control and that the 1st officer had the skill and training to recover the aircraft. They should be grateful, not greedy.
Well its a thing call “humans”
negligence in keeping the cockpit vulnerable. things could have been much worse. imagine a group of hijackers storming in. they had every right to sue.
My guess is liability
Extremely lax in keeping the cockpit secure leading to a horrifying event that lead to permanent PTSD for all on board, maybe?
they displayed skillfull piloting and definitely did a good job recovering the plane. however, it is due to their negligence that the unstable passenger was able to enter the cockpit in the first place. its not the pilots fault since he technically didnt break any protocol, but it is british airways' fault for not having regulations over locking the cockpit and having atleast 2 people in the cockpit at all times (which they now have after this incident)
i hope the guy who tried to crash the plane got a beating from the other passangers afterwards🤬🤬🤬
I hope so too
@@CaptainJadenAR you're the dumbass, he wasn't harming others? he tried crashing the plane.
jaden AR you are a fucking idiot!!!
Well he had quite a few bruises and black eyes when he got out
What that asshole did was inexcusable, mental illness or no. He should have been locked up for at least ten years or perhaps for a more effective punishment, been beaten severely with very large sticks and if convenient, fed to a lion. This coddling of defective human beings is only going to weaken the collective gene pool of the entire human race and quite frankly, I’d have more concern for the potential intestinal distress of the lion who ate the dude than the dude himself. I wonder if they make lion-friendly pepto bismol.
Wow, I’m surprised that the airplane could recover from this. Being almost completely inverted as well as falling so far so fast, it seems like the structure of the plane or other parts of the plane would be compromised. Great video!! Yes, you are deeply appreciated for the two videos in one week as well as all the other videos..great work!!
Great flying skills to recover.
i mean the plane would have to go through maintance after that. I mean, some part of the plane could of been over stressed
AviCrafter I don’t think they were.
Pete Conrad what’s a avicrafter?
Yvette Kennedy avicrafter was the name of the person I was responding to. If you reply directly to a post, it is prefixed with the original posters name.
So some americans still managed to sue the airline over this, even though it's obvious the incident was totally unpredictable....... Frankly, we have to stop being so greedy......
They sued the aircraft because they didn't push for charges against the man who did the crime.
@@diamondpuggenious4043 strange world....they should have charged that man...not the Airliner.
@@mr_movieguru The airline has deeper pockets than the passenger with paranoia.
I disagree - I think it is any airlines responsibility to ensure that no one can breech the cockpit - that obviously didnt happen in this incident and as a result of this lack of security to the most vital part of the airplane - nearly 400 people almost got killed. Thats like going to a zoo where the fences are made out of nylon instead of steel.
I so agree with you. I am a Canadian; we don’t sue anyone ( maybe we should ) we just say “ Sorry” lol
Clearly there where no lessons learned going into 9/11 from this event a year before......
Complete horse shit. Take your tinfoil hat off.
BA enforced locked dorms after this.
Pete Conrad its a shame the industry didn’t follow.
marc foskett indeed. I have to say though, that I miss visits to the flight deck. There’s nothing that breaks a long tedious sector up better than having some kids and third parents visit the flight deck and talk about what we do. Every year we used it spend a week suctioning the jump seat on each flight for charity. Once had a chap pay £500 in cash on the spot to sit up with us for takeoff and landing. Such a shame.
Pete Conrad money well
Spent.. i can imagine it can get tedious. Being a pilot sounds like exciting fly by the seat of your pants job but in reality its a big bus. Earn your money in the bad weather though
LOL 9:14 Imagine going to a fear of flying course and you tell the other course goers your this is how your last flight went 🤣
Amazing that you put this together so professionally. I’m dubious about this incident. Suddenly this guy feels he’s being followed and decides to burst into the cockpit. He could have tried to run towards the back of the plane instead of the front. If he wanted to feel safe he might have entered the cockpit without doing anything aggressive. Something doesn’t add up. Mental health issues are very real and cause life to be even more difficult than it is but you don’t attempt to bring down a jet.
Eric Littman - Paranoid schizophrenia is a nasty illness.
bar10 ml , panic, my ass. He was trying to hijack or crash the plane.
Rickie See that’s unlikely since it never said he had previous episodes of schizophrenia or any other mental illness for that matter
@@randomuser5024
You don't have to have had a prior history to develop a mental illness though. It's not common for and episode to hit that hard without previous incidents, definitely, but it's certainly possible.
im 100% sure that, given kenya's laws about being lenient with metnally unstable people, his lawyer simply told him to pretend he was paranoid. im almost certain he had ill intentions and was not just "paranoid"
One thing that always stands out to me is how irresponsible companies and its crew are up to the point something goes terribly wrong. Do you really need an incident like this to happen before you put in the appropriate protocol to prevent it? And as a crew, do you really need company protocol to tell you to not leave the flight deck with at least two people?
Kudos for the videos, really interesting to watch.
"every rule in aviation is written in blood". I think that explains a lot.
you cannot know. NOw there is a rule that 2 crew members have to be in cocpit locked. What if both pilots plan terrorism attack and nobody can enter the cocpit? Or even one does and other does not have enough power to fight
So you're telling me there's a possibility that this man can board a plane again? Oh man.
Damn that makes it worse, imagine he done this again
@Nick Maclachlan Yeah like Greyhound buses maybe
Yes, just mentally disabled.. can do anything he wishes again and again. ;)
This is the post 9/11 world, so even if he did try to do something, the door would be locked at all times so he wouldn't be able to take control
What you realize quickly is that with every one of these incidents, there was a remediation plan that has made it much more safer. Thanks for the channel and the followup after each incident, great learning!
I think all Americans travelling overseas should be made to sign a disclaimer, stating they will not sue every time their life has a little bit of excitement in it.
LOL yep. Money-hungry bastards.
If you need money in America... Become a lawyer!
Your kind should stick to ball gags and “night games” with young men who look underage.
Your comment is psychopathic, but you know this already. Try to logically understand the difference between choosing life threatening excitement, versus ones life being threatened without their consent. You clearly can’t feel empathy for what those passengers went through.
@@hillarybillary21 you’re probably the type of psychotic individual that would sue your friend because the tyre on her car exploded and caused her to veer across the road, but managed to gain control and avoided crashing. Get a life you pathetic, emotionally driven individual.
@@hillarybillary21 You're a fool lol. The pilots and the airline couldn't control what happened out there.
with my luck, if I were on that flight, I would happen to choose the exact moment that the plane dives down to go to the bathroom
Since in this case everyone survived, I guess you'd have extra memorable moments to tell to your grandkids lol
Everyone probably went to the bathroom whether they were in there or not. Those people thought they were gonna die.
Let's take a second to appreciate the fact that the fight must have been intense asf given they were on little gravity due to the fall
I believe Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music was on this flight.
Yes I believe so. I thought the events sounded familiar. I would have needed new underwear after that flight :O
Im surprised the guy lived, I'm not sure how I would react if I was up on the top deck whilst this was going on.
There were 300+ jackass on that 747... Better that plane would have crashed
@@TheOmkardhamne Ooh edgy, can I get your autograph?
I especially enjoy the videos where dispite the odds everyone survives. Too often in both commercial and civil aviation the opposite is true, and there's less of a chance of learning everything that went wrong.
5:23 Incident , not accident .
The mere thought that such a mad bastard may still be around among the living, somehow upsets me.
Well, not A mad bastard, but MANY mad bastards ARE still around among the living. Whatchya gon do ?!
Take a pill and go to bed...
Your videos are actually so good, and you replicate the flights almost exactly, and the detail/info is incredible. How long does it take to make each video?
Thanks a lot man!! To make a video I usually take 4-5 days.
JEBUS CRISP!!!!
@@theflightchannel that's a really long time but worth it
TheFlightChannel I absolutely love your videos so realistic and on target! Excellent job I’m totally addicted!
@@theflightchannel Someone else posted earlier that it took about a month. ºoº
Mentall illness or not, attempted mass murder is a serious crime.
The forces that 747 must have been subjected to were a testament to the strength of the plane and that it was considered fit to continue in service amazing. I always felt safest when on a 747.
"Kenyan law dismisses crimes against mentally unstable persons". That makes sense, huh? And, the rationale for that? 😯😳
Nothing wrong with that, even the Constitution of the United States have protections for people who committed a crime while being insane.
Wonder how the victims feel about that.......
He went into the cockpit, took control of the plane, put it into a condition that would have resulted in a crash and he didn't intend to hurt anyone??????
If he were sent to the gas chamber, if nothing else, it's very likely that other people would remember what happened to him and not do things that will get innocent people killed.
Apparently in Kenya, mental illness is a license to commit mass murder. I'm beginning to under O'Vomit more every day.
Max Smith basically what you are saying is that the victims should just suck it up because the inflictor “didn’t have a choice”... the world is in a desperate need of brutal honesty and having it being beat into people’s skin instead of fake nobleness like yours.
I love the endings when it says everyone survived
the laws so dumb, he fought for control and waited til the other pilots where out the cockpit come on now a paranoid person don't think that way. i slipped comans periods etc so be my guess lol
Yes, it sure sounded planned to the T
Legend says that this passenger was never seen again, disappeared mysteriously......however they found two happy and well fed lions sleeping near the police station.
I wish. That woudl have been good.
@@raphaellavictoria01 why? This guy was, indeed, in a very unstable mindset. You just cannot hold him accountable. Just glad no one got hurt and he got the treatment he needed...
@@ciprian7243 are you seriously defending a guy that tried to commit a mass-slaughter & kill over 300+ people ? what in the absolute fucking fuck is wrong with you.
@@l0kaltpsykf4ll34 You obviously have a very limited understanding of mental health. There is a distinction between jail and a health institution, just as there is between benevolent actions aiming at killing X amount of people Vs acting due to the effects of paranoid schizophrenia.
Matter if fact, it is exactly attitudes & stigma such as yours that prevent people in asking for help when they needed, this keeping them at large and likely to commit such acts...
I would hand him to 2 lions and watch him laugh when they tear him apart for doing smth like that
I would always be aware of the situation everytime i am onboard.
Especially if there's something like this happen. Those 2 other passangers are heroes.
Tha fo who tried to control the plane is also a hero.
That unstable man got away with his crime.
Nice Job Kenya.
Not even bared from flying again. Great Kenya.
As expected: Brilliant!!
Thanks man!
IKR
Five seconds away from being doomed to imminent gruesome death is scary. Good that they pulled through. Cheers!
Note: I always mute the commercials and scroll down for 15 seconds. Just saying.
Thanks to 9/11, at least this scenario cannot happen again. It was amazing the pilots were able to save the flight!
Yeah, unfortunately the regulation changes (locked and bulletproof cockpit door etc.) came too late to prevent 9/11 from happening. The incident shown here happened a year before 9/11, if only they had made these changes after this incident...
@Sam Dianto yes, but after Germanwings is mandatory that almost 2 people stay in cockpit when flying. When f/o or captain goes to toilette a crew member goes in cockpit
@@mwbgaming28 it's not the religion it's the person.
@@mwbgaming28 Islam is actually a peaceful religion if you do your research. Those people use religion as an excuse to cause trouble so its really just the person not a religion
@@mwbgaming28 Because you only focus on bad side of Islam. I can see that
I couldn’t imagine having to stay on that flight for another 3 hours after that happened! My anxiety would kill me!
This keeps referring to it as the "accident". It was no accident.
“Didn’t intend to hurt anyone”. I’ve never known a situation where a plane crash has been particularly conducive to health and well-being. And whoever decided to just let him go and offer treatment is as big a fruitcake as the passenger was.
He didn't want to kill anyone he was too paranoid and wanted to put the airplane in the ground
Applaud the FO Phil for being able to keep the plane stable in a dangerous situation like that
ppl who defending the man should be on that flight and see how you feel after you experienced near life dead plane crash
They should have let him out mid air. That was so inconsiderate of them. The poor chap was afraid of people around him.
Agreed!
Then THATS how all the OTHER 300 people ALSO DIE
Tiswa Balwan Rath It would have been a worse disaster. Opening the door would cause instant depressurization and suck everything out, including innocent passengers and flight attendants that were not strapped in.
@@abbysnowmist then they would all have to get buckled up and secure their belongings. It's not that hard
MJtube What about the air? The pressurized oxygen would get sucked out out, making it very difficult to breathe, if not impossible. And the plane was definitely above 10,000 ft.
"Safely apprehended" you know they beat the crap out of the guy 😂👏👏👏
I wonder if the other passengers and cabin crew took turns punching him for the remainder of the flight as he was strapped in.
lol reminds me of the movie 'airplane'
"British passengers were offered (...) free attendance on a 'fear of flying' course". How very nice of British Airways!
We don't do "fuss!"
2:31 the 747 autopilot disconnect is scary yet so cool
You're the best TH-camr!(for me)
Please keep making amazing contents, like this one 👍😁
Thanks man, I will!!
Your hard work is appreciated by many and the incidents you re-enact are absolutely spot on, you do a great job and can't wait for the next one.

I know you mean different but maybe you should put "work" after
*your* and *hard* in
In your first sentence
I can't help it but it feels awkward to read what you wrote. Did bring a big grin on my face though.
The Alien lol, I see what you mean and thank you for catching that.
66lwmorgan
You're welcome 😊
Changed my post a bit as it wasn't completely right but at least you saw what I meant lol
Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry was on that flight alongside his then wife and 2 of their sons. Each plane crash brings its terrible share of entire family decimated, this one would’ve made no exception.
The two passengers were named Gifford Murrell Shaw and Henry Bynum Jr. Sadly the latter passed away in 2007 after a 4 years battle with cancer at age 45.
I wonder if 9/11 could’ve been prevented had the locked cockpit rule had been systematized after this flight
Was waiting for: "Unstable passenger was thrown out the plane mid air. Everyone else survived".
It is impossible with the pressure and speed. Even the strongest human wouldn’t open the door at such a high speed and pressure difference (according to studies)
Why someone didn’t split his head in two with the crash axe is a mystery to me.
Well, in civilized countries, you'd be imprisoned for that, unless he was a ***continuous*** threat. Once you are able to restrain the guy, and keep him restrained, you no longer have the legal right to kill him.
Have some empathy, what he did wasn't ok but if you have ever experienced an episode like that you would understand more
A video where the 747 doesn’t have a hull loss feels nice.
"He didn't intend to harm anyone"
Yeah totally when he could of caused one of the worst air disasters ever
"They let him go..."
In-f##k-ing-credible.
lol
Yeah, he promised to be a good boy and not do that again.
@@krinkov7629 xD
Not attempted mass murder?? , wtf!!!
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this your captain speaking. As you may have noticed, we had a slight problem with the plane's gyroscopic orientation. We have resolved that problem and expect to arrive in Kenya in three hours. Please note the "WE'RE ALL ABOUT TO DIE!!"
light is now off and we ask that you all visit the bathrooms in an orderly fashion to change your shorts."
He stated he didn’t intend to hijack or crash the plane?! That’s exactly what he WAS doing!
He didn't intend to crash him he just wanted to make a landing because he was too paranoid
