      @@Posavinac1925 It’s just British understatement. The Brits are renowned for remaining incredibly calm in situations where most would panic. There’s an example of this in Afghanistan when British troops were engaged in a joint firefight with US forces against the Taliban. US troops were shouting at one another, understandably stressed out by the situation, and then in the background you just hear a British officer say: “well, isn’t this fun lads?”-and then a chuckle. During the Falklands war when Royal Marines were taking heavy fire from Argentine forces, instead of returning fire, they ducked down behind cover, boiled some water and had a cup of tea. Arguably the most famous example of British understatement is the mild-mannered exchange between the Earl of Uxbridge and the Duke of Wellington, as the Earl’s leg was blown off by a canon during the Battle of Waterloo. The Earl reportedly remarked: “By God, Sir, I’ve lost my leg!” -to which the Duke of Wellington responded: “By God, Sir, so you have!”. There is also a video of British troops in Afghanistan on active deployment closing in on Taliban positions. As they are taking cover, they pause to discuss what DVD they’re going to watch later that evening 🙂

      @@bomb8406 unfortunately 747s are really big , I doubt museums really want to keep those . They'll keep the first one ever built .
      Btw the plane itself had it's fuselage cut onto tags for the environmental group 10:10 , they were used to raise awareness and encourage companies to cut their carbon emissions by 10%.
      I guess since they wanted something for the museum and the plane was still in use for awhile longer they could only keep the damage parts.

    On December 15, 1989 KLM Flight 867 from Amsterdam was descending into Anchorage International Airport when the Boeing 747-400 flew though a thick cloud of volcanic ash from Mount Redoubt. All four engines failed leaving only critical systems on backup electrical power. After descending more than 14,000 feet, Captain Karl van der Elst and crew were finally able to restart the engines and safely land the plane. In this case the ash caused more than $80 million in damage to the plane.

    @CFITOMAHAWK - Obviously many other countries have very good pilots, and not ONLY Brits have shown amazing pilot skills when needed, it would be silly to suggest otherwise. I was just stating that if on a plane with mechanical problems, a British crew would still be my first preference JMO of course. They are well trained, work as a team, and the Brits (in general not always of course) seem to have a different way of dealing with crisis.

    That's an interesting piece of history. I'd not come across the origins of it. Mayday is the standard international distress call for aircraft in the same way SOS is for ships. (Or was, when morse was still used.) It's quick, difficult to mis-hear even for those who do not speak the same language, and then allows the pilot (or whoever) to communicate vital information without delay or interruption.

    • @ludicrousspeed6422
      @ludicrousspeed6422 3 года назад

      An engine can actually handle the smoke from a volcano just fine, the particles are small enough that they just pass through, what causes the failure is the lack of/too much of oxygen. Now I'm not entirely sure for a jet engine but that's what I've been told about piston engines and normally a jet engine can handle more small particles than a piston engine. I don't know the specifics or when the smoke becomes too much for a jet engine to handle, but I'm pretty sure that a jet engine can handle quite a bit of smoke.

    partially agreed. They are 3 ways of dealing with air crisis as I know. One by freezing or acting too slow in disbelief. Two by overreacting and acting too fast without thinking well. Three by a balance of the two and fighting fear with hell I'm going to fight this until the end. But for that, you have to be like a Boxer, fight the plane coordinated even if you are getting hurt by fear. Brits seldom overreact but do the right thing, sometimes freeze, but not as often as others.

  • @SkylaneCaptain
    @SkylaneCaptain 13 лет назад

    @Rico8458 It's more than just a theory. Assuming there is a suitable landing area within reach....very good possibility given the gliding distance from 39,000 feet.....the landing should not be very different from any "normal" landing. Keep in mind that during every touch down the plane is essentially gliding in. Of course with no engines there is no go-around option but, other than that, if the approach is set up correctly, the physics are the same.

    The turbines are designed to suck in huge amounts of air, inside air is pressurized and added with fuel,etc. and thus making engines hot, the smoke ash are really volcanic rocks tiny bits of them, when in reached the internal engine it turned into a slimy molten goo and starts to choke the engines, a tail fire is caused when the engine burns with less oxygen
