Just one comment. As to seat belts in flight, I was on a cross continental flight, JFK to LAX; we were over Nevada where we encountered significant turbulence. The 1st officer told us to fasten our seat belts. I complied. The gentleman seated right beside me scoffed at the command. I didn't say anything, then the real turbulence hit, which resulted in the plane lurching downward very aggressively. The man w/o his belt hit the above compartment. He literally flew upward and gashed his forehead on something and bled like a stuck pig, as they say. He remained semi-conscious while the attendants did what they could. He deplaned at LAX on a stretcher. Need I say more?
Instant karma.
Also there is a thing called blue sky turbulence which I’ve had happen to me. Absolutely no warning and I was thankful I had my seatbelt fastened.
@@barbarakingry9163 *Clear air turbulence :)
Also called blue sky turbulence although neither are official just different descriptions. Usually no warning of these about to occur.
@@barbarakingry9163 The A.I.M. calls it Clear Air Turbulence, and its a very real and official form of turbulence. It's not called blue sky turbulence, I can assure you. It's on pg 676 of the A.I.M. (Aeronautical information manual)
The eye roll at the flat earth part, I'm dying....the bane of Kelsey's existence.
I take it no one ever ponied up for the most boss flight ever to have their worldview destroyed? Lmao.
Not just endangering yourself: A loose body flying around the cabin will hurt others as well.
I don't care that the seatbelt-free person is hurt (it might teach them to think just a little bit) but it's unreasonable for others to be hurt because of their wilful stupidity.
Buckle up, Cleetus, you plank.
Typical human mindset, not thinking about others and assuming nothing will happen to *them*
I love that logic that you "most likely won't need it" (the seat belt). Yeah, in a car you most likely won't need a seat belt, most of the time. In a house you most likely won't need a fire alarm on most nights. Splendid.
You almost never need your seat belt in car. Until you do.
right, like car crashes dont happen all the time, but when they do, you better be wearing your seatbelt. not even mentioning how much more dangerous cars are than flying as well
The feeling of not wearing a seatbelt is discomforting. On a -25c morning after work, after filling up gas just at the corner of my home street, all i was thinking was "okay, 30 more seconds of this cold then i can park and run inside", but rushing to get back in the car i forgot too put my seatbelt back on. i remember feeling anxiety but didnt know why, then my car started yelling at me. i didn't know why at first but then i realized and started thinking of all the 'what if's'.
@@_tuxedocat100% agree I backed out of the garage once without my seatbelt on and it felt so weird
Two months ago we hit severe turbulence [reported to ATC] and it was scary! I have 12,000 hours total time, 10,000 of that in Part 121 airline service, and I've never felt a plane tossed around the way our 767-300F was tossed around! This out of the blue on a smooth afternoon. We were 25-30 miles north of a severe convective cell over Missouri, and I thought for sure we were well clear. Obviously we were not! That stuff can come out of nowhere and people have and will bounce off the ceiling. Keep your seat belts fastened!
When I was flying from basic training to my advanced training school, we hit a storm, somewhere over the Deep South & had crazy turbulence. Everyone’s shit (and some people) went flying around. I got especially nervous when I noticed the flight attendants were all white as ghosts. I’m definitely glad I had my seatbelt on, cause there were a few zero G experiences going on up there!
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Wait....you got to fly??? They put us on a bus (it was a NICE bus, to be fair!) to ship us from MO to GA!
I live in St Louis and we get a lot of island effect weather here especially during the rainy season not sure what part of Missouri you were flying over but yeah there's some really strange weather over bowling Green Columbia St Louis all over Missouri just because of all the peaks and valleys
Weather is like that...v
@@jeremycoffman9771 Summertime is when a lot of convective activity takes place over the great plains. The turbulence in question was north of Springfield and it took us very much by surprise because while the storm was large, we thought we were well away from it. The wind was south to north, so that partially explains it. The whole episode lasted about 15 seconds but trust me it sure seemed longer than that!
You are absolute correct, Kelsey. I was cabin crew for 32 years and can say, without contradiction, the RUclips guy is a fool and a dangerous fool.
What RUclips guy? Exactly ...
I will concur about you
@@seizetheday5446 tiktok guy, whatever
reminds me of something buzzfeed would put out

I have Epilepsy and had a seizure on a flight to Seattle. The flight attendants were so kind to me. I was very grateful for their care after the seizure. Bad part is they had to divert the flight so I could receive medical assistance. I felt so bad making all of those passengers land and delay their travel plans. I apologized to the passengers profusely as they took me off of the plane.
No need to apologize for an emergency! You had a medical emergency and everyone should understand that! Glad you are ok
@@MsRobinL thank you so much. I'm so used to having seizures that it's all good. I appreciate your kind words.
What matters is that you didn't injury yourself severely during your seizure and that you received medical attention. It doesn't matter that the flight got delayed. Emergencies take precedence.
@Punkrock Noir Well it depends ... you don't necessarily know that from the seizure itself. If you have a continuous generalized tonic-clonic seizure for 5-10 minutes or if you have several seizures in short succession, the recommendation is that you may need to consider it as a medical emergency. Then it's up to the pilot. Or if you have a GTCS and injure yourself then it may become another form of medical emergency.
You're a kind human for apologizing to the passengers. I feel there's nothing to feel sorry but the fact you had a seizure.
We all can have a medical issue anytime. And everyone wants to be helped if it comes to an emergency.
I hope you're fine and can enjoy flying again.
Usually, I take off my seatbelt right after takeoff and don't put it back on until landing. So far I, fortunately, haven't had any problems and have never experienced any rough turbulence. I'm glad you mention this a lot though. In the future, I'll heed your advice and leave it on throughout the flight :)
Especially at a window seat, the seatbelt will keep you from being ejected from the plane, in case of damage to the plane (like a wall- or door-panel flying off, or a window getting smashed).
Kelsey calling these armchair experts out, are some of the most entertaining videos on RUclips
And that guy‘s opinion is what’s wrong with the Internet. People thinking their opinion is as good as the opinion of an expert in the subject. And then after conversing with other amateurs they didn’t think they were opinion is better than what the experts think.
Glad you enjoyed it Florida!!
@@neilkurzman4907 He has to know the information he's giving out is BS. He's only saying these things to be controversial and get views.
@@jimmym3352
The problem is the people who do that eventually convince people that they are telling the truth and those people then start retelling those tales.
In the immortal words of one Bugs Bunny; “What a maroon…. What a marooooon!” 🤣
The amount of disinformation in some aviation "content" is mind-bogglingly 🙃Anyway, keep up the great content Kelsey!
Cheers from AOPA's Air Safety Institute!
And most of it is ridiculously easy to debunk. “I literally have the same view as you” 🤦♂️
It’s all of social media and the internet in general. Just whip up some garbage and what are you out? Even if you just make a little beer money.
Exactly...👍
I dunno man, that duder on Tiktok sounds legit so let's ignore the trained airline pilot w/ thousands of hours in the air and many passengers transported safely throughout his carrer... XD
That also applies when an airline pilot publishes a video which deals with aerodynamics , he has a superficial knowledge only.
Not here, but others.
Like how winglets work.
The experience required to obtain an ATP pilots certificate, relates more on flight time, than on years of wind tunnel work, designing those ubiquitous winglets and the strange forked ones on the 737 max.
Thanks for the shout out on behalf of the flight attendants .... they deserve their kudos....
On a flight from Seattle to Maui, Hawaii, our plane ran into clear air turbulence. Most passengers had removed their seat belts (It was roughly 2/3 of the passengers that did so), and 2 of them received moderate injuries (I believe one had a concussion, and the other had broke an ankle), several of the others walked off the plane with bruises forming. As a former pilot I had left my belt on and wasn't injured. After that clear air turbulence, most passengers had their belts on. The dude who said you don't really need a seat belt is an idiot.
Exactly 👌
I dont release my seat belt ever. I might loosen it But>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
and not to mention rapid decompression, if a hole were to appear, you could get sucked out over the seats or something.
I fly a lot (not as much as a pilot, obviously), and in 20 years of doing that, I've never felt the need to open my seat belt unless I needed to get up. Just as with people not wearing them in cars and claim they're "uncomfortable"...maybe they're focusing on it, but after a minute or two, they're completely out of my mind.
Agreed. I just forget about the seatbelt after 30 seconds. I once got up to go get some snacks and forgot my seatbelt was even on. That was embarrassing :D
Seat belts on cars have the belt go over the shoulder as well, and that can be more uncomfortable. That said, yhea it isn't a big deal at all.
Some people have sensory integration issues where minor touches can feel maddening. Still, most push through it since logically, less risk of serious injury is worth temporary pain
@@bertblankenstein3738 yeah i have had shoulder surgery and if it rubs s certain spot it drives me mad
I feel uncomfortable when I’m *not* wearing a seatbelt. It feels naked and I’m immediately imagining flying through the front window on a sudden stop, feeling anxious. And on a flight, falling asleep, not wearing a seatbelt, with heavy turbulence you’ll wake up inspecting the ceiling with your nose.
In the unintentional firearm discharge, there was a LOT of paperwork flying around, just not on the plane.
Flight attendants are highly trained badasses who serve snacks when they don't need their capes and tights.
How you managed this video without more sarcasm and eye rolling is astounding! That dude is a blithering id-10-t! Rock on, Kelsey. You have more self control than I...
Your face when flat Earth was mentioned said it all! I was dying LOL!
@14:27 "a huge amount of papers didn't go flying anywhere"
But a huge amount of paperwork was generated.
My family member was a FA, and on a flight a during beverage service, they hit sudden bad turbulence similar to that. Her head slammed the ceiling, which ended up injuring her neck pretty badly, and the passengers, which were large, muscular athletes (basketball team) were in tears. The seatbelts were quickly buckled, and definitely saved people from more injuries. She somehow managed to keep everyone as calm as possible, but because of that story, I always have my seatbelt buckled oh a plane, even when the seatbelt light is off!
Some people are just insane. Give a camera and a mic to an idiot, they will say the dumbest things and people will believe it. Because it's on the internet 😂 Tnx Kelsey for your great videos.
"You break your neck OR something bad happens?" Thats a very grim statement! :D
That first one especially bugs me since the whole “seatbelts aren’t necessary on busses” is from a study in Canada that has been proven to be false. Seatbelts do save lives on both planes and busses.
I take a bus through the mountains near Catania quite often. It has them - and needs them.
Yeah, cars too !!!
Yea I always thought it odd school buses don't have them.
some large vehicles don't have seatbelts and it blows my mind people think it's fine.
Do physics stop applying? Like here in Italy many people don't wear a seatbelt in the rear of cars. Do they think in case of a crash the magical fairy will stop them from smashing their head in? Even worse on buses as in case of a collision you can be literally flung for many meters before hitting a hard metal obstacle, like a pole or part of the bus chassis itself.
I've heard that seatbelts are becoming more common on buses. On municipal buses, which often travel more slowly, and people are always getting on and off, they may be a little less practical than on tour buses going down the freeway. Nevertheless, I thought it rather strange to be riding down a freeway in Los Angeles while standing up on a packed bus. Not that it was going all that fast, due to "rush hour."
One of the reasons I always enjoyed flying Southwest was the humor the flight crew and cabin crew exhibited. We hit some clear air turbulence -- not bad just some jouncing and bouncing -- and one of the flight crew came up on the PA and informed us THAT was why they expected everyone to wear their seat belts at all times while seated.
I am a Paramedic. It’s astounding how many folks think they are qualified to give any type of medical advice- or even tell us how to do our jobs- when they have no idea, literally no idea, what they are taking about.
They need to sit down and shut up.
Yeah everyone on every topic ever. Ever listend to someone who studied a field for like 20 years? They are way less likely to make extreme claims. Literly EVERYTHING is extremly colplicated. Every war has so many nuances, every civil war too, every class debate aswell. There so many factors that influence every result, it takes years to learn about most of them about any field. While freedom of speech is important, it's also important to realise that the average human doen't know shit about anything.
Well, sure and I hope you aren’t attending to me😹
Re flight attendants saving lives, it’s worth reading about Jane Harrison, who was a flight attendant on a BOAC flight that crashed in the 1960s and died (aged 22) while saving the lives of some of the passengers. She was posthumously awarded the George Cross for her bravery, which is the highest award the UK government can give outside of war. Flight attendants are heroes.
I couldn't do that job. Customer service in a setting where you cannot exit the situation, you cannot throw your customers out, and when shit hits the fan you're a first responder.
It's several incredibly difficult jobs thrown in a blender.
I'm aware of what she did (Incredible and brave women, inspiring but sad) you're the first person I've ever heard mention her) and I am old enough to have flown BOAC several times!
Indeed. And it's especially sad that these days, they are treated terribly by customers. Often times, these customers have no idea what a FA has to go through.
@@annieworroll4373 Well spoken! Excellent! I can confirm your statement, indeed!
Back then the were no flight attendants they were known as Air stewardesses or Air hostesses & had more elegance & class .
About 20 years ago while I was on active duty, I was flying on the rotator from Baltimore to Rhein-Main AB Germany. The flight was nice and smooth and the front end crew had turned off the seatbelt sign. Having been through severe turbulence before I kept my seat belt on. Somewhere over the Atlantic, in the blink of an eye the aircraft hit severe turbulence that probably lasted a minute, but it seemed like forever before the aircraft stop shaking. Not only did all the overhead bins empty out, but everybody who wasn't wearing a seat belt became a flying objects within the cabin as well. Colliding with everything, the floor, the ceiling, each other. There were many people that were injured. Don't be a dumb ass, always wear your seat belt!!
@
lifeontheX, BAHHHHHHHHAAAAAA, JUST KIDDING, I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT TO REPLT!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 OPPS, YOUR TURN!!!!!!
"Sheep belt"? What are "ewe" trying to say? :P
@@ImperrfectStranger Next time I'll type it instead of using voice chat!🤣
the video alone with the turbulence on the 737 is enough to put on the seat belt.
I had same experiance on a flight over Europe close to an airport called Linz-Hörsching twentyfive years ago! People without seatbelts were flying thru the plane, many got injured! I was never in my life was so happy to have kept my seatbelt closed!
10:00 One of the smoothest landings I've ever experienced was at an extremely foggy Gatwick Airport, in which we couldn't see the ground until we were over the runway. It was a British Airways 747.
Speedbird FTW
I was on a flight from London to Edinburgh and that time they did not make issue seem small to the passengers: first they told us the landing gear wasn’t working. Later they said that we were going to get ready to land on the belly of the plane. Obviously everyone was freaking out. They also decided to land in Glasgow and when we came in for landing the landing gear actually deployed but they still activated the slides and evacuated everyone safely to make sure the plane didn’t explode on us or something. Moral of the story the pilots did not in any way belittle the situation.
I have to share an experience that I had on a flight about flight crew. I was flying a short hop from Cincinnati to Kansas. In mid flight I was given a small bag of peanuts which I thanked the lady because I was kind of munchy. Last thing I remember is the lady asking if I was ok, I wasn't ok. I was trying to breathe. She realized I was choking, and she went into life saving maneuver to get me breathing again. Had she not realized I was in trouble so fast who knows what would happen. So are they there to serve food and drinks only? No they save lives. Thanks to them I'm still here.
Ohhhh!!! That made me actually tear up!!!
Nicely done by that FA, good to hear.
Were you choking on the peanuts? Or had an allergic reaction?
Your face when flat earth was mentioned was an absolute picture kelsey 😂 stay safe
His facial expressions are great. Big part of why I watch his channel.😃
And very informative aswell, hope you are having a good day x
My driveway is flat soooo what now 😆
I remember reading a story about a flight attendant calling 911 while on board a plane because there was a guy on board who she thought was drunk and was flashing a gun around and just acting very strange. The plane got diverted (obviously) and boarded by police who took the man into custody. It turned out the man was a federal marshal and was allowed to have the gun on board. I think he ended up getting fired but I'm not sure. Would be cool if you could do a video on this story.
Flight attendants are usually college graduates and go through allot of training. They hand out drinks and do menial work on most flights while being trained for many situations. Kelsey is also highly trained even though he may just have a good flights. Thanks for the awesome content.
I wanted to write few things, but flat Earth topic came in... seriously, if Earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off of it by now.
Thank you Kelsey for another interesting video.
P.S.
"Yes, yes, I remember I had lasagna" 😅
Edit: I have to write one more thing, even my pets are wearing their seatbelts when I'm going with them somewhere. I really wouldn't like to be hit by my big dog or cat carriers flying here and there. If car crash won't hurt me/kill me, a 40+ kg dog flying right into my back (head) could do that.
Those kitties rule the world!😭...v
.....and there's a lot of cats!
I love this 😀
Black Cat.....Imagine all the space junk that would be floating around out there......and a huge empty disc filled with cats just gazing at those ever moving objects, totally mesmerized.
@@msr1116 And imagine all the cat corpses too.
Thank you Kelsey for encouraging the continuous use of seatbelts. Ive been a FA for 41yrs now. Ive seen some very scary situations due to clear air turbulence. I recently did my yearly FAA emergency training and ran into a friend who had been on a medical leave for 3.5yrs. She broke her neck, trying to get to her jumpseat due to turbulence.
This may not mean a whole lot but Thank You. I know we never met but you all are owed so much gratitude. A few years ago I had to fly with my young autistic son, I got pretty sick. My son had a meltdown and I keep getting sick. I suffered from migraines, that off set the nausea. One absolute Angel of a FA was right there to help. I don't know how but she knew how to hold and rock my son to get him calmed and had a couple ice packs brought over for me. It was a 4 hour flight but she rarely went far. Within minutes she had my son from meltdown mode to completely enthralled with the mechanics of flight. He is still obsessed with planes and flying and wants to be a pilot when he grows up. He's high functioning and has gotten much better with time. I kept thanking her, she would just give this calming nonjudgmental smile of reassurance. Such a wonderful woman.
Wow!! Over the 41 years, I'm sure you've seen enough to write a book. I'm also sure you've seen quite a change in passenger behavior over the years as well. Thank you for your years of service!!
thank you for your service, and my prayers go out to your co-worker, I hope that she makes a full recovery and still is able to walk and function as well as she did before the accident
My father taught me from a young age to always leave my seatbelt on when I'm sitting. He flew every week for work. He said, "I don't want to end up on the ceiling if we hit turbulence."
Just a side note; when I was first learning to fly, I heard all kinds of rookie pilot jokes. But I have to say my favorite one is, two rookies were flying in a new jumbo 747. Boy were they impressed! Half way through the flight, the pilot came on and said, I’m sorry folks but we just lost our number one engine. We’re in no danger. It’s just going to delay our arrival time. The two rookies nodded and said okay, that’s fine. Fifteen minutes later, the pilot came back on and announced, I’m sorry folks but we just lost our number two engine. We’re still not in any danger, it’s just going to delay our arrival time. The two looked at each other and nodded. Fine, that’s fine. When the pilot came on again, the younger rookie said, if we lose one more engine, we’ll be up here all night!
My brother was on an airplane approaching the airport when the pilot said over the radio: "OK I'm gonna try land the plane now." My brother thought: What exactly does TRY to land the plane mean? The pilot descended, then made a turnournd and flew to another airport. Obviously, there was zero visibility and the airport didn't have an automated landing system in place. But he scared the shit out of his passengers in the most funniest of ways.
Funniest encounter I ever had with a kid on a plane was when I was sitting behind a little girl and her mom. Little girl kept peering around her seat, playing peekaboo with me, until she turned and said, "My mommy has a gun!" Mom whipped around, popped her head up like a groundhog, "It's checked, it's checked!" before giving a gentle scold to the little girl.
Made me cackle.
Mommy sounds like a bad ass, thats a real woman right there
Aw, the little girl was just getting an early start at running her mouth.
for a second i looked like you were saying she shot her daughter lol
Toddlers can’t keep secrets. Hehehe
Reminds me of that short where the dad is filming his little girl and is like, I heard you told your teacher we are growing a ton of weed at our house. And she's like yeah I did, and he asks her to show us the weed and it was crab grass from her backyard she was calling "weed". Kids are so funny.
Kinda goes along with motorcycle helmets too. I live in Idaho where by law you do not have to wear one. I used to teach motorcycle safety and every class we had people claiming that helmets were dangerous and shouldn't be worn. That is the point where I would pull out the helmet that I slid down the highway while wearing which was ground completely through the shell from asphalt. I walked away from a 60 mph slide thanks to safety gear. I always wear my seatbelt on commercial flights. Not so much on my 20 year career in the Air Force though.
Kelsey's videos are great. I flew weekly for 25 years as a passenger and got my pilot certificate in 1991 as a bucket list desire. I'm retired now but have good memories of flying all over the place. American would provide a live video to projectors in DC-10s (1980s) for the passengers to view the takeoff roll. Didn't last long. . I'm retired and very seldom fly these days. However, I love these vids. Keep up the great vids Kelsey.
This is so true. There are a lot of people out there that think they "know" as much as experts. I run across this a lot. In fact, they spread misinformation and sometimes fear by speaking their thoughts about subjects they know noting (or very little about). Instead of admitting they don't have knowledge, they run their mouth dismissing real information and substituting their "opinions and thought" as if that was real data.
Politicians?
3 - “Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are all doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.”
That one was a classic 👍
That incident could be a whole video on its own!
This actually happened on a British Airways flight before volcanic ash was determined dangerous! The crew in the end managend to land the 747 safely!
The problem we face - people want to feel that they are important and making a difference, when really, they're not important, aren't qualified to speak on a topic, and are really not very self-aware.
Social media platforms have given everyone a voice to express more or less anything they want, within certain guidelines of course, but still largely conducts itself like the anything goes, old wild West. There were excellent reasons to establish a set of standards and ethics in the field of bonafide journalism and hold people accountable for the impact their words can have. But some people, despite lacking proper credentials and scruples, are able to make even the implausible appear plausible through the clever manipulation of language, not hesitating to take advantage of any medium that allows it.
@Joseph ....I'm trying to silence people ??? WHAT ??? I Fyi---I HAVE NO SUCH ABILITY. Oh, and I read your original post......why was it deleted ? Well, dear, you do the same and twist it. That might improve your disposition. And, the word stuff causes you to appear as yet another American dolt. Acquire a proper vocabulary then post remarks.
Infectious diseases expert here, most food-borne illnesses have an incubation period of 48-72 hours. There are some illnesses that come on more quickly (pre-formed toxins), but most of the time, when you get food poisoning, it’s not from the place you just ate at, it’s the place you ate at a few days ago.
The visible eyeroll when he starts talking about flat earth really gets me haha
I was foaming at the mouth waiting for that Airplane! clip of the fish scene! That's all I could think about when you started the segment on food. Another great video.
5:00 My ex was a flight attendant on an European airline. During our relationship she became a purser. So, I watched (and kinda helped) her with her study. That's where I grew a lot of respect towards the cabin crew. Their main job is keeping everybody safe. Not just for evacuation procedures. But everything that might potentially lead to an evacuation. If needed, they might even be able to land a plane.
Kelsey, I just watched this video and like all your others, enjoyed it very much. The info given and corrected or debunked is helpful, but I have to say I also enjoy your facial reactions. Whether you know or intend it, you are so entertaining! 😄 Those bug eyes, rolled eyes and quizzical left eyebrow lift are the best!! Not laughing at you really, but with you and because of you. Love this channel and look forward to the weekends even more because of your videos. Thank you and the best to you always, 74 Gear. 👏🏼👍🏼
I really love your videos Kelsey. Thanks for all this awesome content. I am simply a kinda nerdy, arm-chair aviation enthusiast, and pretty am comfortable on planes. I love hearing your take on situations in the industry, and your first-hand experiences. Thanks :) Keep the Blue Side Up 😊
This has probably been said before but I mean it. Kelsey, thank you for speaking out and being an expert on the subject. Sincerely, we thank you.
I always keep my seatbelt on, because once I put it on, I forget about it. Thank you for making these videos.
sometimes I wonder how the people who complain about seat belts being uncomfortable manage to stand wearing clothes.
@@kenbrown2808 Funny you say that, because according to my calculations, 24% of people I have seen on planes with no seat belt on, were also dressed in nothing but their underwear *
* statistic was completely made up
@@Vpmatt 63.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
@Ken Brown AHHHHH, ITS A FAMILY CHANNEL🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
I think it's pretty cool that pilots don't eat the same meal just in case of spoiled food. That seemingly minor thing demonstrates how safety conscious aviation is! BTW, "Airplane" is one of my all-time favorite movies.
I am now retired from the airlines. I was a Captain on the 747-400. I am familiar with the FFDO program.
When this program was set in place, there was a lot of opposition by some agencies within the government. Turf issues.
FFDO program is an unpaid volunteer pilot program, they pay for their own ammo, etc. Most people that applied did so because we knew that passengers were getting through security at the time, with unauthorized items and the FFDO program was considered to be the last line of defense to protect the cockpit against a possible hijack.
This program was maligned from the start and got hobbled with SOPs that were impractical and actually dangerous.
Specifically in the area of weapon transport. In other words they tried to torpedo the program.The securing procedure of the weapons at the time was what precipitated that accidental discharge in a flight environment. I hope they changed that after this incident!
They wanted the program to fail!
They covered it up in secrecy.
Oh wow, interesting!
On a flight where we hit a thunderstorm on landing. One guy removed his seatbelt and went airbourne and slammed his head into the overhead luggage rack. Taught him to keep buckled up.
I hope you laughed.
I feel like this “expert” must have been cheated on by someone who was a pilot or flight attendant. He’s really…petty. “If the passengers get sick, well whatever!”
In Australia, we have SEATBELTS on coaches to travel long distances.. It stays on unless I have to take my son for a wee or the bus STOPS.. My seatbelt stays on throughout a flight, unless I have to take my son for a wee, or the plane LANDS and the seatbelt sign goes off!!
Your stance on the treatment of facts versus opinions makes sense, for a pilot. As an engineer, I feel the need to remind people that there are lots of grey areas between fact and opinion. (Engineers and scientists work in this grey area, trying to shrink it.) Humans are fallible, even experts and especially authorities. Everything we know is up for debate, and a lot of it is going to change in 10 years. Yes, people should be careful about giving advice on things they aren't familiar with, but it's also important to question what we're told. I learned this lesson the hard way when a glassblowing instructor taught me a technique that led to my hand getting sliced open. I'm just thankful I didn't learn this lesson in a context where my life was at risk.
I've been the reason for a medical emergency diversion. Initially I looked like I was drunk, but s flight attendant noticed things were off and then it was full steam ahead into a dire neurological/ENT emergency. Fortunately, I remember very little but must have been bloody terrifying to fellow passengers. I was particularly mortified over having terrified everyone, and all the costs incurred, when I woke up, but everyone at the airline were very kind afterwards.
Glad you made it! v
Don’t worry - the airline did the right thing, and I doubt it cost them anything: I’d be surprised if they don’t carry insurance against that kind of thing.
@@virginiatyree6705 Thank you. Me too :)
@@jneill , Sure, anytime. Sometimes, not remembering happens. I'd imagine the experience has given you a renewed & possibly a different perspective about life. v
Remember the Asiana crash in SF? The airplane slammed into a breakwater and cartwheeled through the air hundreds of feet. The only two fatalities were the only two passengers NOT wearing a seatbelt. The seat legs are designed to crumple on impact to absorb some of the impact, and the seatbelt keeps you in place to allow this to help.
The other interesting thing in the final report for the Asiana crash had to do with an exit slide that deployed in the cabin. The slide manufacturer claimed that it deployed because the force on it exceed the design limits. I think it was something like 12 G but the point is that the passengers survived with seatbelts on even though the accident forces might have exceed the design limits. So the conclusion is that the belts are usually not needed but like in your car, you just can't predict when one will save you.
I thought a passenger was killed because the foam released covered them & the fire department person couldn't see them. Such a tragedy. v
Ok, this is the most hilarious video that I have seen on youtube in a month!
Kelsey, your facial reactions to his inane dribble makes it all worthwhile.
Have a buddy who works airline maintenance. "mechanical issue" one time was "the flight attendant overcooked a cinnamon roll and smoked out the plane" so it needed an extra hour with the doors open to ventillate.
Amazing seeing someone as intelligent and cool as Kelsey address these things. It's funny but very sobering at the same time. Even Kelsey cannot fix stupid.
For some reason at least here in the USA there seems to be the celebration and almost pride in being stupid and uneducated. These same stupid uneducated people seem to take the most pride in arguing against those who are experts in a field and telling said expert that they are wrong while simultaneously providing no basis for their argument.
Kelsey, I CANNOT with you.. 🤣🤣🤣 Reactions at 2:30 “a seatbelt probably isn’t going to save your life” and at 14:34 (flat earth) absolutely made my day.
The flat earth was so funny how his eyes rolled
I mean depending on the crash situation it might not. But thankfully the days of flying into a mountain at 500Kns are astronomically few and far between now.
The eye roll was brilliant 🤣
Haven’t watched you in a while. I forgot how much I enjoyed watching you!
I'll be honest, I'm a hit and miss on your videos( not you personally, but RUclips)but I saw one that you addressed some really horrible misinformation before. I'm glad you're here to call cap on info that can hurt people, if you don't who will.
Buses: in many countries, seatbelts are required while seated (for instance Czech Rep, Singapore, Philippines, most of EU, France, Hongkong, Japan).
Kelsey. This explains a lot. In the last month I’ve been asked 3 times by passengers if the earth is flat or round.
The correct answer is oblate spheroid.
Which means it’s round, but not perfectly round.
@@neilkurzman4907 I’m stealing that.
I seem to get the chem trails question more often.
@@MrBizteck there’s an app for that! Is my standard response. That and shouldn’t you be up front?
If my plane got fogged out I would just call Rudolph and see if he was available
I remember flying on a short 330 to orf from dca, I saw an anvil cloud out the right window and thought "wow that storm is bad wouldn't want to fly near it" right then the plane dropped 300 feet in about 1/2 second, the stewardess and small aisle cart flew into the roof, the cart actually got stuck. We landed without difficulty and on the return there was no beverage service as a precaution, hoaever the return was smooth go figure.
I once was on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Seattle when the pilot came on the intercom to say, calmly, that we may have noticed that the plane had turned around and was headed back towards Europe. We might be landing in London or Paris. There was something to do with a volcano in Iceland. They came back on to say that they were heading back to Frankfurt. The plane was met on the runway by ambulances and fire trucks and then the plane was towed to the gate. A new crew came on board and we took off again. When we were over the Atlantic, the pilot came on to explain that the previous pilot had had a heart attack. (Of course there were 3 or 4 pilots on the flight, so there was no danger to those on the plane.) Just before landing in Seattle the pilot came on to let us know that we were the last plane able to leave Europe due to the volcano. All further flights had been cancelled and people were stuck in Europe. It was a flight to remember.
Well this example however seems to confirm what the TikTok video says. Instead of being upfront and tell the passengers that a pilot had a heart attack they used some unrelated story
It also supports Kelsey's point just as much in my opinion. The volcano was true, and there were 3-4 pilots on the flight, according to the comment. And from what we know from Kelsey, the flight crew won't inform us about stuff we don't need to know. But of course, they would be taking care of the pilot.
@@AlessioSangalli it's not any of your concern. If it caused any danger to your safety, sure, but otherwise, no.
@@littlejackalo5326 ok so the TikTok was correct on this point. Airlines and crews prefer telling white lies to the passengers to justify having to go back and land etc
Well, that was confusing!
It’s crazy how people like this prevent people from visiting family members due to an irrational fear provoked by showing dangerous misinformation
I'd wager geopolitical nuclear warfare that the Russian government indirectly funds idiotic numbskull amateurs to spread disinformation.
Especially to poorly educated video makers who can't communicate well, or have audibly detectable mental impairments, which Russian doctrine has been known to target.
To be fair most of it is not disinformation or at least not in the early day but just the fact that it is so widely not understood/ is very complex to the average person who flies maybe once a decade or whatever.
Honestly if somebody believes the TikTok they probably already have so many other problems in life that not being able to visit relatives is just a small detail
@@pooletrainboy if someone hears a rumor and doesn’t understand it/confirm it, but still continues to repeat it, it is by definition spreading misinformation. Knowing the information is false and continuing to repeat it is disinformation.
Misinformation is what the vast majority of “expert” social media influencers are spreading.
Kelsey There was a TWA 707 where a hijacker discharged a firearm into the overhead just aft of the cockpit. The aircraft was ferried to lax. The projectile creased a hi-pressure oxygen bottle and bent a stringer. Even if the hull would have been punctured a 3/8 inch hole is not much compared to the air passed through the 707 zone thrust recovery valve system.
I love this video! Thank you Kelsey!
When I was a kid, I witnessed a severe fatal car accident. A car full of young people careened off the road and ran straight into a big oak tree. I saw the occupants get launched out through the windshield and smack into the tree. They died. I wear my seat belt.
@Joseph not one caused by yourself
The Look On Kelsey's Face on that Last one was Priceless. Keep up the Great work!!1
Before I lose the thought I wanted to comment on the "pilots down play" problems in flight. I was flying to Salt Lake City and had a very chatty pilot who, on route from Arizona, tilted the plane left and right to show off his home town, other scenic sites and basically made the entire trip fun. Nice day, sunny, no wind and we were in a descent to land when the plane abruptly accelerated and went skyward. A few seconds later the pilot came on, apologized to passengers, and included the statement "an aircraft was on the runway'".
That is not sugar coating or down playing anything. He was there at the door when we left the plane and most everyone just thanked him for a great landing.
I've only been on a plane a few times, and haven't experienced anything quite as serious as that clip as far as turbulence... but given that the patch we DID hit when I was on the way to America from the UK had us flying at level and then every now and then hit a sudden drop (felt like the sort of drop you got on a rollercoaster) I'm actually glad I listened and belted up.
It's 7:30 in the morning but it's never too early for Kelsey's roasts.
Hello Pilot Kelsey. While growing up in the 1950s thru the 80s in Los Angeles my father introduced my family to Mike Bates.
He was a plane crash investigator for Douglas Aircraft as well as attending Boeing investigations. He explained why he would
attend both companies investigations..."Both Douglas and Boeing wanted to know what went wrong with their own planes as
well as the other guys. No matter where in the world a plane went down, he would go. He himself had been a jet test pilot in his
early years. One day I asked Mike what is the most important thing for me to do as a passenger. Wear a seat belt..follow the
flight crew and attendants instructions. Don't fly in bad weather.
About six months ago I was on a flight out of Ontario to San Jose California, actually with Vegas to Ontario Ontario to San Jose, in Las Vegas they hold us back for like an hour, because the starter of an engine gave out, that freaked me out I got out of the flight and floor the next one, and when I got back home I realized, what would happen if I would’ve got out of a perfect OK plane, to go on a plane that would’ve met its demise, that was kind of creepy.
Too bad that attitude was dropped after the companies merged and no longer had much domestic competition. (also left a lot of room for airbus to rise, though they aren't any better from a management point, maybe worse as the EU investigators have fiscal incentive to protect their subsidy child.)
@@mytech6779 Genuinely curious: what, in your mind, have Airbus done to warrant you saying they are "as bad" as Boeing? I mean, I wouldn't ever say that those big companies are any kind of virtuous, but that being said, the whole 737 MAX scandal is a *very* low bar.
And I do find the bit about the investigators curious as well; never heard of it, but then again, corruption happens.
Always reassuring and extremely calm
I was on a short domestic flight once where a passenger's heart stopped while the aircraft was on final approach. A nurse attended to him until we landed, then everyone patiently remained seated at the gate while EMS came on-board and took him off ASAP. I later saw him sitting in a wheel chair in the terminal so thankfully he was ok.
I always keep my seatbelt on when flying. I’m just a passenger with no one telling me the possible dangers of not wearing it. It just seemed to make sense to me, (several episodes of turbulence over the years)
I'm in your camp Barbara. I put my seat belt on as soon as I'm seated and it doesn't come off till we land AND are stopped! I let the rush out traffic clear too but that is just me.
No rush no fuss.
You definitely perform excellent service for the airline industry on so many levels. I have been a nervous flyer and watching your videos has definitely made me less anxious about it. There have been times in the past when I had to fly, I really wish your videos had been around then.
Pilot Kelsey. I appreciate how sensitive you are in not discussing security matters. Regarding the FFDO, the holster they used was public knowledge so it is ok to mention that the FFDO program insisted on using an absurd holster/lock arrangement and that was involved in the accidental discharge.
Just an observation from a 62 year old. Since you mentioned fashion, it's never really new.
Probably 10 to 15 years ago there was this new fad.
Some teenagers were wearing the slacks that had a strap in the bottom that would wrap around under their feets. It was the new thing, my words not theirs.
My Mom used to wear the same type of slacks in the mid 60's.
My 21 year old Niece was visiting me from the University. I didn't say anything but she was sporting something "new".
A pair of jeans that flared out around from about the knee downwards.
There was even a song out by Derek and The Domino's. It was called Bell Bottom Blues. Yep late 60's early 70's I remember my Sister and Cousin's wearing them. And they were called Bell Bottoms. 😂
There's a big difference between giving an opinion and giving advice.
TRUE!! & so many ppl nowadays can't take advice (they're nauseatingly PROUD)
@@patriot692 while other people just shouldn’t give any opinion or advice on a topic the clearly don’t know anything about.
So what I am understanding is that I can take excellent advice from flight attendants and pilots and wear my seatbelt. Or take horrible advice from some random person and not use a seatbelt and end up being tossed around like a sack of potatoes with bruises and broken bones.
Yep.
Who would’ve guessed that listening to people that are trained and experienced in a topic should be listened to about such.
I don't even particularly care if they hurt themselves, but they fly around like a sack of potatoes and hit other people, that's a much worse problem to me.
You are SO amazing!!!!!!!! Love you Kelsey. Now I will be more aware of my surroundings when flying!
Love your reaction videos, I’m going to start asking every pilot I meet if the earth is flat just to see their reaction to such a stupid question, how do people still believe that!?!? If it was flat i would probably have walked off the edge already with all the crazy stuff going on 🤣
Technically, you should also be wearing seatbelts in the bus. Its just that they are usually not present, and for some reason people ignore it. A bus is just a larger car, all rules still apply.
yes, there is an ongoing drive to mandate seat belts in buses.
In Germany, buses need to have seat belts since 1999 (except city lines), you can be fined if you don't use them, just like in your car. But I guess it's harder to enforce, I can't imagine police stopping a bus and trying to prove that some of the passengers weren't wearing their seatbelts before they were stopped (if they are not too stupid to put them on them while the bus is slowing down..).
@@AV-we6wo Your thinking is all screwed up. Along w/all the ppl who are trying to get away w/ something, beat the system. Dishonesty is just wrong & makes life harder 4 everyone.
I think it’s also cuz some buses have the poles and leather straps that hang from the ceiling for people standing up to hold onto where there’s no more seats available. Riding a full Disney bus after park close and having to stand because three ECVs were loaded on first and took up some of the seating space isn’t fun when you have a sore back and sore feet and you weren’t far enough towards the front of the line to get a remaining seat XD In hindsight I probably should’ve waited for the next bus.
@@patriot692 I obviously should have expressed my self better. I think everybody should wear their seatbelts, I just think too many people won't do it despite it would be better for their own safety, and sadly it's not easy to enforce a rule when you don't really have to fear consequences if you break it.
I've been on a flight where we had to divert to another airport for awhile due to severe weather at our main destination. The pilots didn't down play the situation. They were down right honest to everyone
Curious, what does “down right honest” mean in this situation?
They didn't "Sugar Coat" the situation.
They don’t need to downplay or sugarcoat the situation because it really isn’t a big deal. When they plan a flight they also plan for alternate airports, so diversions are already planned for before the flight takes off.
Honesty is the best policy.
Always has been; always will be. Political correctness is dishonesty too. Liars are losers; Poor Communicators!! 🇺🇲
@@phxees just saying that the weather at the destination is below the safe minimums for landing and therefor they will divert to an airport that is safe to land. Not a big deal, just inconvenient for everyone on the flight and all passengers on the next flight of the plane.
Kelsey, your patience is unbelievable!!!
“Papers didn’t go flying everywhere.” Great callback…
I'm glad you reported the gun thing. Just remember, a gun does not go off without someone operating it.
On the otherhand ..its impossible to fire a gun thats not even there !!!!
I love you roasting these videos, keep it up! Thank you captain 🤙
14:33, Best. Eyeroll. Ever. That's GIF quality eyerolling right there.
About the cabin crew. Don't mess with a flight attendant and don't allow anyone else to mess with a flight attendant.
On the seatbelt issue: neck injuries/ sprained shoulders can cause headaches and migraines. I *especially* wear mine if I'm taking a mid-flight nap, when my muscles and reflexes are down for the count.
I appreciate pilots being able to calmly reassure me. I cannot imagine that panic on a plane is a good thing or helpful thing.
The worst sudden onset turbulence I’ve experienced in 16,500 flying hours has been flight through wake turbulence of another plane. This can happen when you fly 1000 feet below where another plane with high wing loading passed about 2,5 minutes before.
14:31 the roll eyes when "flat earth" is mentioned is quite epic.
