If doing subtitles were the key to success, then there would be many, many more channels subtitled on youtube. Some people are just resistant to change
I've surprisingly followed em through the yrs and this channel keeps getting progressively worse. The same story but redone video every few mos def a recipe for horse💩.
I really prefer your videos 1000 times without narration, and I still don't understand why, you and many others, start by telling the end of the story ! I love TFC, but with narration, my heart breaks!
And why not? Could have both too, the voice over makes the video easy to watch while doing something else, the main reason why people stopped watching this channel is the lack of voiceover
I prefer the subtitled videos because I believe they make the videos more objective informationally. The narrator is doing a good job here but it is more difficult to fully understand what is happening in the video.
Hello from Japan. I have been watching your videos for years and really enjoyed them because, despite the tragedies there is always something to learn from them, including from the comments. Also whether you narrate or use subtitles. One of the things that always sets you apart from other channels is ‘In memory of…’ , please include this again at the end of your videos, as it’s very respectful for those who died. 😢 Thank you.
I want to watch the video and not miss the whole thing because I have to read the text the whole time. It also adds a personal touch to separate it from all the other garbage AI videos.
I still prefer the text version. Again, it's not the voice. The voice is pleasant enough, but for something else. I prefer the immersive experience of the text version, as immersive as you can get from a RUclips video anyway. I guess I'll wait and see what the future brings before I decide to leave.
@@K.B.Ravindra Ikr! I'll even pull from the front or push from the rear in order to get everyone, that goes with us, out the door. Just so they don't get stuck in the doorway. 🤣
Why don't you just read the NTSB reports? They're all already online and that's basically what this channel does. Just reads them. RUclips is an audiovisual medium. Like AUDIO.
I much prefer without voice. I hear your cuts, which is jarring. And to be honest I’m struggling to keep up with all the data you’re saying in that accent you have. Most of all, the entire mood of the video is dramatically changed; the text-only made me feel a part of the story, as if I was sitting in the cockpit, frighteningly. But with the voice, now it’s just you telling a story, which isnt as interesting to my imagination. Bravo for this though, because you didnt use an AI voice. Edit: i wanted to add too, that the text-only videos, especially when coupled with the great music choices, had a sense of reverence for those who lost their lives, a sort of gravitas for the industry and its lessons learned.
@@brucelee4996the 24 hour clock and the celcius reading don’t bother me, the V/O does. Barely understandable, and now I feel removed from the story somehow.
Agree. We already have SO many channels explaining plane crashes with voice narration. This one was different, with a totally different atmosphere. Hope it goes back.
@@gunnshell How stupid can one be when subtitles aren't even what he's talking about? If you're a regular here then you know his videos do not use a voice. There's no talking. Just text with some ambient sound which gives the viewer an immersive experience. I prefer it as well as do many others.
3000 skydives here..... and I was rdy to act til 2k feet. Only had one inflight emergency. It was at 4K feet and engine issues so we bailed out to be safe. hehe.
Agreed. The voice just gets in the way. The ambiance of the video with the voice over isn’t really very appealing. Unfortunately if it keeps up, I’ll just unsubscribe.
Captions, sure. That way, the people with hearing damage or brain dysfunctionthat makes them unable to process spoken wordscan be happy, and the rest of us normal people can listen to narration like we were supposed to. Captions can be turned off, thankfully.
This channel had to have been sold to a different content creator. The original videos were captivating and informative and they’re just not the same now
Seriously? That would explain a few things. The last few videos have had spelling errors, which NEVER happened previously. And, apparently the new guy likes the sound of his own voice. I for one, do not. The originals are far superior and I might as well listen to Mentour Pilot - they all have the same disaster and at least he talks at a regular pace.
@@lukycharms9970 been watching these videos for years mate definitely not new, and I never said anything about the narration, just noticed a significant drop on quality which a lot of other people have noticed as well
@@gunnshell stupid? Oh really? My point is “it wasn’t broke, don’t fix it.” For years this channel has been text only for narration. I have the right to communicate my opinion that I feel the text narration suits the channel better than voice narration. Many other comments agree with this sentiment. I assume you do not, but I do not feel just because we disagree, that that means I am stupid. I just prefer text & you prefer voice. Also I am aware of the cc option. This is a separate issue from simply giving my feedback that the voice narration doesn’t work as well as text. Why you assume someone is stupid just because they disagree with you doesn’t exactly instill confidence in the content of your character. Hopefully it’s just a weird quirk.
A constructive comment: I find the level of the background music to interfere with my understanding of the narration. If the music volume were to be significantly reduced I would have found the narration to be much more easily understood. Thanks for your videos.
If it a'int broke then don't fix it. The rapid mumbling VoiceOver and music together with the repeated cuts ruin the potential presentation here. I prefer the text versions. Also, showing all the highlights before actually starting the video takes away any interest, enjoyment or surprises. And ditch the awful stock videos
Such a senior pilot would not have ignored the icing issue. Drugs must've played a role in impairing their judgement and short-term memory, especially as sleep deprived as they were.
@@margeebechyne8642 I beg to differ. I believe that at about the 10:53 mark the narrator mentions that the pilots had "disturbed and inadequate sleep for the past two nights".
@@jeffsiegel4879 Well, then the narrator is contradicting himself. Starting at 2:20 on past 2:44 he describes they arrival at the hotel and meal and then says in the morning they had a rest period greater than what is required before heading to the airport.
If you read the official report the handling pilot made a phone call at 2am so his rest was disturbed. Yes, they got more than the minimum required rest period but that doesn’t mean they were well rested. It was the opinion of the aviation pathologist that they most likely had disturbed sleep for the previous 2 nights and were jet lagged.
Keep the narration so i can listen while I'm working! Love this format. I also appreciate the work you into making your videos more informative by narrating.
Me thinks the REAL cause of all this is totally clear- The reaction by the Investigators to the FAA's idiocy about, "Polished Frost" in the manual. Who the hell includes something of that nature, that can so easily be misinterpreted leaving pilots feeling safe in their decision to NOT De-Ice? By 2002, we KNEW the dangers of ice VERY WELL. The one thing we didn't get, was the Co-pilots experience. However, he is 58, and the pilot himself, having much experience on this craft, gave him the go-ahead, so he must be well qualified as well. So who the hell doesn't de-ice when this experienced? Pilots who've not faced severe icing to the degree, the FAA RECOMMENDED WAS A-OK, in their flight manual. That's who. I mean, it's the FAA! They must be right, right? Obviously not. IMO, Blame should have been placed FULLY at the feet of the FAA- NOT at the feet of "cold medicine" which, btw? Was in miniscule amounts, couple this with the simple fact that they got MORE rest that required, and that goes out the window, in my, COMMON SENSE, book. I couldn't, for the life of me, understand why such experienced pilots would choose NOT to de-ice in those conditions, when all else were- and so many witnesses saw the ice as well.... Until I saw that report at the end, and the FAA had them EXPUNGE ALL REFERENCES from their manuals. Yeah, that's called a "COVER-UP"- IMO? This accident should be RE-INVESTIGATED, and the blame placed squarely where it belongs, ON THE FAA. That Auxiliary unit? May have added the "back-up" sense of security the pilots felt, in making their decision, but the FAA's own "go-ahead"? THAT, I believe, was the fatal hole in the "Swiss Cheese", that caused this sad loss of human life.
It is not the role of the investigation to apportion blame. That is one of the fundamental principles of air accident investigation. They determine the likely cause and make safety recommendations. Any apportion of blame is a legal process for the courts. The very first safety recommendation in the formal report is that the FAA delete all reference to polished frost within their regulations and expunge all reference from operation manuals. There is no blame apportioned to the crew in the report. I fail to see any coverup. It’s as damning of the FAA as it can be within the permitted bounds of the investigation. Note - the report is by the UK AAIB so they have no interest in protecting the FAA. The co-pilot was also employed at a captain but was not designated as PIC for this flight. He was more experienced than the PIC with 20,000 hours and 800 on type. You clearly haven’t read the report, I would suggest reading the full report before claiming a cover up.
@@Captain101-x1o What are you babbling about? First, I spoke, clearly, in MY OPINION. Second, NOWHERE did I say the FAA would be, "Placing blame". Only that an independent investigation, which would obviously NOT be the FAA investigating themselves, but an outside agency, and that, if this were done, IMO = "In My Opinion", the blame would be placed where it belongs... AGAIN, IN MY OPINION. But you also speak as if the FAA's finding carry no weight. Entire careers have been destroyed because of them. Companies as well. They are NOT there to "just make suggestions. Btw? Why would I go "read the entire report"? I watched a video, gave MY opinion on what I saw- And what I saw? Looks suspiciously like a cover-up, to me. Cold medication after HOURS of sleep? Seriously?
I'm so enjoying the new season, TFC! Whether you're narrating or not, your videos really make Thursdays must see TV for me. Hard to believe 5 years have gone by since I first subscribed to your channel. I never miss an episode, if I can help it! Your shows are always so informative. Thank you so much for a new season. I know it's hard work, which makes me appreciate it all the more.
I love your videos. This is my my favorite you tube channel. I watch it more than any of my 200 channels. Thank you so much for the original content!!!
I really miss the the formula with music and subtitles. As a television producer, I find it created a mood that was unique. We felt as if we were on board with engines roaring outside the cockpit. I thought the approach was very original. I'm sorry to say but your voice is not ideal, I have difficulty understanding certain words. For me it ruined it. I might as well stick to mentour pilot. I am sure you have your reasons, but my reasons for coming here , don't hold anymore. It is just feedback I am giving you, this is not a personal attack. I wish you success with your new packaging.
Drugged? Because they took Benadryl? Stretching or clickbait? Benadryl likely had zero effect on their flying or decision making in this case. It may be banned as a sedating antihistamine, but they were hardly drugged. They made a bad collaborative decision and paid with a number of lives.
I take Benadryl for seasonal allergies. It can make you a bit groggy. Nothing crazy. So as a 110 lb woman, I can't see that heavier men would be so seriously affected. But this is yet another chapter in the volume of Aviation Doom. I vote for circadian rhythm interruption of sleep cycle and the previous day's alcohol consumption.
i'm a native English speaker so have no problem with the narration, but it's not particularly clear for non-native speakers. Plus I preferred the old format, it worked, why fix it? I think votes against the narrative are overwhelming. Still a great channel though.
People always criticise this channel way more than any other I’m subscribed to. There’s nothing wrong with the narration, it’s just a big change from text only.
I for one am proud to see the growth that your channel has, keep going. ALL of your content is fabulous and respectful. Thank you thank you, for everything and how much your content brings to RUclips and to us, as viewers! Thank you.
I drop in occasionally to see if anything has changed. It has, it's got even worse. One of the great RUclips channels has been bastardised beyond recognition.
While narration isn't my favourite thing on TFC, the owner does have a lovely voice and accent. Some prefer narration and others prefer the text. It's a personal preference, nothing to berate anyone about. 🤦🏼♀️
jesus christ did the editor have add or something? the flight is 12 seconds, show the whole fucking thing without cutting every 3 seconds so we can see what's going on.
I quite like the voice over, and I always appreciate subtitles too, due to impaired hearing. I could do without any music though. It proves every viewer has different wishes LoL. Thanks for this presentation. Well done.
I like when you add voiceover -- makes it so I can "watch" the video on my other monitor while I'm doing other stuff without having to read the text. But I did like the text-only ones too. I'd say maybe just upload both versions from now on and let people watch whichever one they like
How the hell this channel reached 1.5 million subscribers. Last time I checked, it was just a few hundred thousand then, went on a year hiatus, and all of a sudden this amount to followers. This is crazy!!!
@@Jump-2-the-moon yeah the idiot calling people stupid doesn't realize you lose all of the background sounds and music but he's obviously way smarter than everyone else.
Can you pls do subtitles instead of narration the voice is not bad I just prefer the subtitles you did a good job with narration but I just like subtitles more
The narrator has FAR too much of a non-Englilsh speaking accent, which makes many parts of the narration difficult to understand. PLEASE go back to displayed text!!
Gosh, this dude is creating awesome content which entertains 1,5 million subscribers mostly for free. He tries something new and 90% of the comments feel like a shitstorm. Only 10% are discussing the video and the accident... So, in my opinion: thanks for your work @theflightchannel! I enjoy every video 🙂
As someone who takes 50 Gravol (Yeah, I know, fuckin insane) a night just to be able sleep, the last thing I’d want to be doing is driving a car, let alone flying a jet. (I mention Gravol because it is in the same drug class and has similar effects to diphenhydramine)
Love your narration, love your channel and love your research. Thank you for such quality videos. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the awesome work. 😊
There was just something special with the music and no narration. It made the flight channel special, different.
Say you were a subscriber and suddenly had vision loss or impairment, would you want to know the content of his videos? I would.
RIP 'The Flight Channel'

No voice over please
PLEASE NOT NARRATION BUT SUBTITLES AS BEFORE
This was tried a while back and the same comments today as then. No voice,talking. We all loved it the way it was,When something works leave it alone!
Drugged? Because they took Benadryl? Stretching or clickbait? Benadryl likely had zero effect on their flying or decision making in this case. It may be banned as a sedating antihistamine, but they were hardly drugged. They made a bad collaborative decision and paid with a number of lives.
It’s not allowed by FAA to be taking Benadryl and operating an aircraft. This goes for a lot of drugs.
That's plain wrong
I take Benadryl for seasonal allergies. It can make you a bit groggy. Nothing crazy. So as a 110 lb woman, I can't see that heavier men would be so seriously affected.
But this is yet another chapter in the volume of Aviation Doom.
I vote for circadian rhythm interruption of sleep cycle and the previous day's alcohol consumption.
@@sarahalbers5555 I vote for them skipping deicing because of the cost and then they just rationalized their way out of it.
Benedryl plus alcohol.
I love the voice overs, so I can listen while I'm doing other things. please keep the voice overs
Love the narration bro 👍
@FlightChannel stick to what works
i'm a native English speaker so have no problem with the narration, but it's not particularly clear for non-native speakers. Plus I preferred the old format, it worked, why fix it? I think votes against the narrative are overwhelming. Still a great channel though.
Thank you so much for the voiceover again, I'm resubscribing now :D
I'm legally blind and reading is very hard for me
A captain in the right seat and co-pilot in the left? That's a new one! Also, love the voice over! Definitely prefer it tbh
Except for airlines, most aviation companies swap seats, so that the pilot who is flying, is always in the left seat.
Back to subtitles please.
People always criticise this channel way more than any other I’m subscribed to. There’s nothing wrong with the narration, it’s just a big change from text only.
There’s nothing wrong with voice over but subtitles are better
Please continue making videos without spoken narration. They help me to calm down and pay more attention at the same time.
Really?? LOL
I for one am proud to see the growth that your channel has, keep going. ALL of your content is fabulous and respectful. Thank you thank you, for everything and how much your content brings to RUclips and to us, as viewers! Thank you.
Love you channel. PLEASE DON'T VOICE OVER. It is so much better and dramatic without vocals please. Said with all due respect and no offense meant.
How about making two videos--one with text and music, and one with narration and music. That way, everyone is satisfied.
Literally no one asked for the narrator but ok
If everyone is upset, they should make their own videos.
@@eucliduschaumeau8813 that’s not how it works bud
I drop in occasionally to see if anything has changed. It has, it's got even worse. One of the great RUclips channels has been bastardised beyond recognition.
It's not that serious dude!
@@ILoveLucy21. Yes, I'm afraid that it is. RUclips is being ruined by lazy clickbait content aimed at the weak-minded.
While narration isn't my favourite thing on TFC, the owner does have a lovely voice and accent.
Some prefer narration and others prefer the text. It's a personal preference, nothing to berate anyone about. 🤦🏼♀️
RIP. The ghost of Air Florida strikes again.
What?
Bingo! And I see that bridge several times a month. It still creeps me out.
@@Randomly_Browsing Google Air Florida 90.
@@akiko009 I know that
Good as ever, but I prefer the text only!!
Thanks for showing exactly how it ended before the video starts.
The voiceover makes this officially the best air crash channel on RUclips
wrong
Diphenhydramine a.k.a. *Benadryl* should not be affecting their judgement.
click bait bullshit
Allec Ibay tried to narrate and he quit cause no one liked it. I don't like it. Your channel is good just the way it was.
Some people are resistant to change. If narration or so effective then you would see it widespread throughout youtube.
Don't like
jesus christ did the editor have add or something? the flight is 12 seconds, show the whole fucking thing without cutting every 3 seconds so we can see what's going on.
Mohammad Buddha, I agree.
Please don't be ableist. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but perhaps reconsider next time? Thanks.
@@kimifur GFY
@@StuartMarchetti Yeah that's about what I was expecting. 🤷♀
I like the narrated videos. Then I can watch the animation. Thanks!
Horrible audio. Stop the voice overs. Very annoying.
I quite like the voice over, and I always appreciate subtitles too, due to impaired hearing. I could do without any music though. It proves every viewer has different wishes LoL. Thanks for this presentation. Well done.
Wow, this channel has a lot of subs that are extremely resistant to change!! As long as you’re uploading, I’m happy. Lighten up, people.
I like when you add voiceover -- makes it so I can "watch" the video on my other monitor while I'm doing other stuff without having to read the text. But I did like the text-only ones too. I'd say maybe just upload both versions from now on and let people watch whichever one they like
How the hell this channel reached 1.5 million subscribers. Last time I checked, it was just a few hundred thousand then, went on a year hiatus, and all of a sudden this amount to followers. This is crazy!!!
It's had a large subscriber count for years
@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst you literally have 138 subs
@@PhillipMassie okay?
@@PhillipMassie??
Maybe you are thinking of another group.
That’s it. Green Dot Aviation it is.
Remove this voice over. We prefer subtitle
I love voice over, it is 100 times better than reading all the small description.
Don’t talk dude. Ruined the video
How stupid can one be by not clicking on the CC button? 🙄
@@gunnshell I don’t want to hear his voice. I DO want to hear the ambient sounds of the plane.
@@gunnshellpeople have opinions Yaknow?
@@Jump-2-the-moon yeah the idiot calling people stupid doesn't realize you lose all of the background sounds and music but he's obviously way smarter than everyone else.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
I’ve been saying that my whole life!
Why are they narrating again? I just clicked off. It was perfect the way it was.
Can you pls do subtitles instead of narration the voice is not bad I just prefer the subtitles you did a good job with narration but I just like subtitles more
TheFlightChannel, awesome content
..ruined completely by that voice over
Go back to the text with the music.
I like the narration. Well done.
We don’t want narration BRO!!!
Really BRO? oh no, BRO!
The narrator has FAR too much of a non-Englilsh speaking accent, which makes many parts of the narration difficult to understand. PLEASE go back to displayed text!!
Incomprehensible voiceover! … Is that an AI voice … ?
Or they didn't want to spend a couple of thousand dollars defrosting...
Can you go back to the original format please?
If using voiceover in videos from this point on, please include subtitles. Thanks a lot!
So... narration now? The subtitles were actually better sir.😊❤
I Like The Narrator It Allows Me Too Focus on The Video Itself Instead of Reading Subtitles So I Say This Was Great Flight Channel 😀😊😀❤️👍🏼
Unfortunately I can’t understand the narrator. Also why would you show the crash before the story and then tell the story? Backwards storytelling
Dubbed or Text? I like both! That's it!
I don't mind on what way he narrates it. I mind on the informations per video.
Gosh, this dude is creating awesome content which entertains 1,5 million subscribers mostly for free. He tries something new and 90% of the comments feel like a shitstorm. Only 10% are discussing the video and the accident... So, in my opinion: thanks for your work @theflightchannel! I enjoy every video 🙂
I love the narration!!! Keep it up!
I love your voice!!!! Much nicer then the subtitles.
As someone who takes 50 Gravol (Yeah, I know, fuckin insane) a night just to be able sleep, the last thing I’d want to be doing is driving a car, let alone flying a jet.
(I mention Gravol because it is in the same drug class and has similar effects to diphenhydramine)
Knock off the voice narration. Distracting.
You are complaining really about nothing.
If it's distracting, maybe turn volume off and turn on Closed Captioning. Woaaahhhh.. crazy right?!
Click the mute button. Deal with it.
You're correct. If the next video has the same boring narration Ima unsub.
@@NeonVisual Sorry to lose you! Bye!
Can you Do Japan Airlines Flight 123 Please
Narration iz good...
But please, we need subtitlez with the light music... as usual...
The narration bothered me so much, I had to stop halfway through. I prefer the subtitles.
Then turn on CC. Presto, problem solved.
I used to do completions (avionics suite) on the aircraft. They are really durable units.
Really don't like the voice over. The tone is just wrong. Back to subtitles, please
Love your narration, love your channel and love your research. Thank you for such quality videos. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the awesome work. 😊
