They make this big world feel smaller the same with cars. I think about it a lot about how an hour drive is almost a full day of walking. Horses, cars and planes made traveling alot more possible/plausible. We get to see things we wouldn’t have been able to see without them same thing with phones.
@@dustinirish7 to "know" something doesn't always mean you can say "yeah i know that happens" despite never seeing it through anything but the lens of someone else experiencing it being able to quantify the impact as an individual is not something most people will ever know or even be able to grasp. This applies to more than you will ever know. And that is objectively a fact.
I heard about a flight on an A330 where, due to a flaw in the stall protection system, the nose of the aircraft was forcefully pushed down twice. This caused passengers to be thrown against the ceilings, resulting in some severe injuries. Personally, I always remain buckled up during flights and would recommend everyone to do the same

Turbulence will almost never be a factor in a crash. The most danger that could happen is that something or somebody didn’t have there seatbelt on and they would hit the sealing so fast they wouldn’t have know what happens
@@Discgolf_RDthere’s only been a few crashes regarding turbulence. And that’s mostly because of not correctly installed parts or not maintained properly.

@@hynadrozda6222I mean... a bumpy road is not safe lol so that's an odd comparison to make. You can bust a tyre or damage your car on a bumpy road, as well as injure yourself or your passengers.
That’s one cool flight crew! A running joke in the CH-47 (Army aviation) community was to mess with passengers by periodically descending and telling the (air) crew chief to go pump a handle in back while the pilot levelled it out. Then the crew chief would fake getting busy and ignoring it so the passengers would start doing it while the flight crew kept up the gag. I’ve seen a lot of phone video of this little gag.
I'd LOVE to be in a plane with a pilot doing that! 🤣 I've heard it's infinitely better than the stomach drops of the bust rollercoasters and you feel weightless. Though I'm kinda cursed so knowing my luck the plane would be the Boeing one that did it over and over before crashing ☠️🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣 The first two times I flew at like 8 and 9 the plane got into storms and hit by lightning ⚡ so I'm not bothered by much. 😂

People don’t realize 95% of the time your pilots are up there having a blast like a kid in a candy shop during turbulence. It’s a little fun treat for them after flying the same straight line for hours on end. Just relax and enjoy feeling physics!
I remember one flight I was on that the pilot decided to stand on the brakes until the engine were at maximum, then pop the brakes to start the takeoff. Closest a civilian will come to a carrier shot.

That’s basically what’s happening. The road doesn’t just disappear, neither does the air. It’s like a bumpy road in a car, or waves on a boat.
