"On this flight, the attendant dropped a cup of coffee. They said it was just a spill, but I think that was just to prevent a panic. I feel that if they kept flying, the coffee would melt through the floor causing it to crash into an orphanage."
"This passenger brought some Hot Tamales on the plane. He dropped a few and now I imagine there is lava pouring all over the floor. The attendant said it was no big deal but now I feel like they're all gonna die."
The cracked interior and inferring the plane was ready to breaking in half, is like saying your house is going to snap in two because the drywall cracked.
Or the1/4 inch wall panelling sheet became separated from the sheet next to it, the brick exterior is obviously going to crumble to dust in that guy's imagination.
In my career as a professional airplane passenger, I think the most important thing is to panic, as soon as you hear a loud noise, because as an experienced passenger, your freaking out will improve any situation. Really let the pilots know, that given the choice you would prefer not to crash. without your input these experienced highly educated and trained professionals, would be lost, and may be tempted to put the plane into a nose dive for fun.
@@MeppyMan yeah i always feel safer in a plane thats flying as opposed to falling 🤣🤣🤣 As a kid i always contemplated engine failure at takeoff, but that's probably just from watching fight club too many times. Always felt safe in planes.
@@MeppyMan Agreed. Any time I'm on a flight and we hit turbulence I get way too excited. Tapping on the shoulder of a complete stranger sitting next to me.. "Look out the window and check out the wing flexing, isn't it great!"
The “ There is a big chance the plane would crack in half” one was hilarious. It would be like telling someone because a suspended ceiling tile fell down, the roof of the house is about to collapse.
Excuse me Mr 74 but as an experienced passenger, it's quite clear from that interior damage that the wings are about to fall off and panic is the only sensible response.
I laughed at the wall panel thing. "The plane would've cracked in half. How would you react?" - as an engineer on the subject, I'd land the plane for safety concerns, then have a veeeery long call with the contractor doing wall panels. Especially their upper management. That would go sooo well.
To put it into a context that non aviation people might be able to visualize: One plastic wall panelling panel unattached itself from the one next to it. The house is going to collapse. Nevermind the brick wall on the other side of the wall insulation. We are all going to die. Given that even in houses wall panelling is usually plywood less than 1/4 inch thick, I can't understand people panicking when they KNOW the outer shell of the plane is metal and not plastic. I laughed so hard I got a belly ache.
I saw another aviation video where a plane lost a whole big piece of the plane over the Pacific and landed safely with a big hole in it, in Hawaii. I think a couple passengers got sucked out and lost, but everybody else made it.
"What would you have done if you saw this big crack?" I would've used the heel of my hand to pop the plastic panel back in place and told the passengers to shut up and get back to their SkyMall catalog.
Yeah, I was thinking these panels are probably designed to be easily taken off for maintenance, and something just slipped out during the turbulence, making the panel pop out. Nothing wrong with it.
Last time I flew Southwest, the pilot made an announcement that we were "starting our descent," and giving us the time and temperature at our "destination," but it was only to distract us from the fact that if we didn't land, we would eventually run out of fuel and lose power to the engines, potentially resulting in an emergency landing or a crash. Clearly the pilot had a deathwish. Eventually, we landed safely.... this time.
@@jaycee330 All of a sudden, as we were preparing to exit the aircraft, I started noticing that we were moving. I took a look out of the window to my left, and to my surprise, we were moving forward. Within seconds, we were getting faster, and faster.
Also "things have gotten way, way much easier." It's either "things have gotten way easier" or "things have gotten much easier", but "things have gotten way much easier" is just wrong.
I watched so many air crash investigation shows, and they actually made me feel much safer flying. Even the tragic deaths are not in vain, as the amount of research and investigation that goes into figuring out why and preventing a recurrence is amazing. Imagine if every single car crash could be investigated so thoroughly, with mandatory cooperation from the manufacturers! But I do realize how unrealistic that is...
I, too, have benefitted from watching crash investigation shows. What I have learnt from them might not qualify me for anything much beyond being an armchair expert, but no doubt will help me in some way when something out of the ordinary turns up.
"As a passenger how would you react to..." Me: I'd return to my seat and put my seatbelt on properly. "I didn't get to say what the problem was!" Me: You didn't really have to, that is the correct response as a passenger to anything you are worried about. If you become worried about anything while flying as a passenger, then return to your seat, put your seatbelt on, and do anything the flight attendants say.
"Whatever will be, will be" is an attitude more people need to adopt. Whatever happens with the flight, as a passenger you are helpless to change it, so you might as well do the safest possible thing and await the end of the situation. Anything else can only possibly worsen the situation.
@@kenbrown2808 taco bell is never advised before flying. Its bad enough painting the whole bowl brown, but a seatbelt sign aint stopping the train to brown town Edit: just noticed your surname, lol
I remember when I knocked a whole in the drywall of my house by accident. I was so scared. I'm lucky my house didn't break in half and collapse and crush me to death.
Please make more videos like this. Its so annoying an armchair “pilot” can make a video, post it on RUclips and then all of a sudden it’s being shared on social media as fact. Please keep roasting them - it’s necessary.
In the U.S. isn’t there a licence free category for flying sub-micro/ultralights? Imagine such pilots reading the criminal garbage ‘advice’ touted in comments in RUclips flying videos. The morons could contribute to killing someone.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 I have never heard of a sub-micro but I can tell you that you need a licence here in New Zealand to fly an ultralight aircraft. Yes it is less stringent process to get it but that is because there are more restrictions on where and what you can fly. Such is not flying over built up urban areas. People like them because they use less fuel and cost less to insure.
I love how this joker just immediately admits that he is just going to ignore anything the flight crew or pilots say because he will just assume they are lying to prevent panic.
I think the most important thing was said in the first section: the pilots are in the same plane and they want to go home after the flight as well. So they will do everything possible to bring the bird down safely. And turbulences: I usually say then "it's a bumpy road today", sit back, enjoy the view out the window and that's it.
"hundreds if not thousands of forced landings it's a Cessna!" Jeez, I wonder if it could be the fact that Cessna is one of the most popular single engine airplanes made. In fact the Cessna 172 is the most produced civilian ever.
I also find it hilarious that a successful emergency landing is categorized as dangerous. Like what are you worried about if the landing was successful? To me that’s more a sign that the aircrafts are safe as they can handle failures.
It’s like the fact that people suffer more dog bites from golden retrievers and chihuahuas every year then by for example pit bulls... it’s just because there are more of them 🤷♀️ but you don’t see those dogs being banned.
The interior door panel of my car came off once and the backseat instantly decoupled, leaving behind 2 passengers on a fancy couch... I just don't understand how race cars hold together without those panels.
Imagine: about a month or so after Aloha 243. Just boarding a 737 aisle 1 right side window seat, my female associate just to my left. She asks what kind of plane we're on and I pull out a Popular Science (maybe Mechanics) with a dramatic artists rendering of 243 in distress on the cover. Everyone in the row saw the picture. I was lucky and amazed to see 5 people with a great sense of humor, they all smiled.
Vaccinations, aviation, petro-chemical production etc etc - you'll always find people with strong feelings on subjects they don't really know much about but feel competent to comment on despite their lack of education in that particular area
It's not necessarily lack of education. Research is showing that conspiracy theory believers tend to be well educated, but as they get more isolated, they'll look for a place where they can feel like they belong. It explains why some doctors and nurses (usually both well educated and intelligent people) can deny vaccines as "a hoax" and such.
As someone who isn't a pilot and my only aviation knowledge is mostly from youtube, this still really infuriated me too. I can't imagine his frustration watching that moron's video the first time.
@@jaredjones5307 IMO, misleading anyone who isn’t an expert in a particular field, is the gravest sin one can commit!! So, there could be many non-pilots who might believe the snake oil this faker is selling!! Problem is, this guy appears to be a master manipulator. He begins by stating very reasonable sounding facts (some of which are factually correct), thereby gaining the confidence of his audience, and then slowly, sneakily and surreptitiously moves on to the BS, capitalizing on “fear of the unknown” for views / profits on RUclips!!
Yeah! His mother never bought him a toy plane when he was younger. Now he suffers from CSVAPS ( creating stupid videos to annoy people Syndrome )... for the viewers, I'm sorry about that I know it's not very imaginative but it just to annoy the annoying guy...
@@747-pilot "misleading anyone who isn’t an expert in a particular field, is the gravest sin one can commit" - ahem, yeah, like 99% of the BS artists on facebook!
Number of years ago I had a small plane land in front of me on the interstate. I saw no problem with it, he needed to land and found a nice, big open spot and did so. Followed him for a little ways, got a little concerned when we came to an overpass but he glided right through it just fine. He pulled off on the nearest exit and parked it. I pulled in behind him. His engine had forgotten to work and he didn't have anywhere else to land. I asked him why he just kept rolling, he said he was afraid of getting in trouble if he blocked the freeway! Fortunately, that part of the freeway was on a slight downhill incline, so he was able to just keep going until he got to the exit. Only took about a quarter of a mile, maybe less. He was a little shook up, but the important thing is that he didn't get that way until he was out of the plane. Kept his head during the incident itself. I think he did just fine. Much more interesting than the usual boring traffic.
If I ever see a small plane land on the highway or road in front of me, then I will put on the emergency flashing or hazard lights or what they are called (I forgot the english name of them) and then follow the plane behind it. As to help to warn other drivers or be "emergency" vehicle until the real onces are able to come and take over. Plus who knows? Maybe the pilot having an illness and needs first aid. There can be alot of things that could be the reason for the plane needing to land
@@Midnight.Rain.747. ive flown with ryanair to say that is not true, it is just plastic all around (with some good old flex tape to keep it together) tbh the landings arent bad too
As nonchalant as possible… “the book I’m reading is getting bounced around and now I have to pay attention to what’s going on “ 🤣😂🤣😂 friggin love this guy
The second I see this guy making up news I say “ please Kelsey, roast that guy, roast him good.” And we’ll… my wish was granted! Thanks for GREAT content.
I'd be concerned about WHY it separated, but if the pilot is WALKING back to the cockpit, I wouldn't be concerned about it being anything urgent. as they say in EOD: if you see the bomb squad running, try to keep up.
@@Stettafire but this isn't a 30 year old International Harvester delivery truck. the maintenance crew should be a little more on the ball about keeping the interior from falling apart.
@@kenbrown2808 - People buy the cheapest ticket possible, so airlines don’t take on unnecessary costs…they nickel and dime everywhere possible. Interior panels are replaced on an as needed basis because they are not a safety critical item. They get replaced after they break, not on a set schedule. Those panels usually just pop out after somebody (or their kid) was bored and sat there and kicked/reefed on it for an entire flight. At the end of almost every day there is interior vandalism that needs to be repaired. BTW, I guarantee that aircraft mechanics are paid nowhere near what you think they should be.
To answer most of your questions. Planes expand and contract during flights from temperature and pressure Interiors of airplanes are created by small panels fitted together loosely for this reason and can be misaligned and popped out easily. On the other side of those panels are everything from struts and structural members that the outer skin is attached to. You could theoretically remove every damn panel during a flight and it will arrive safely but you would be pretty chilly during the trip.
People like you Kelsey are who really encouraged me to dive deeper into aviation. Slowly getting into becoming a commercial pilot when I'm older. Thank you for these videos :)
I had seen this video of the plane in question in another video or plane crash investigations or something like it. And this particular plane did land. However i cannot remember all the details of what actually happened, though it was not just a simple matter of two plastic panels coming apart. Those panels in the clip came apart due to an incident from something outside of the plane.. But the pilots did make a diversion as a precaution and had the plane sorted out. As for the company making a decision of weather you carry on or not, with your flight to your destination is NOT CORRECT. It is the decision of the pilots and captain alone, to decide weather to land as a precaution and get the plane over looked out of safety. And not the companies. These panels do not just pop open for no reason. So on that respect the pilots did send a member of the crew to look at it yes, and then i think the first officer came to have a look before talking to the captain. They did divert and land in safety and they did sort the problem out. Better to be a little late in your arrival than not to arrive at all. As for the contrail, they're white not black, and the plane was not climbing, it was on a set course, however the object that was being filmed appears to be tilting and changing direction. May i also add that contrails do not change direction as well. As to what the object was i don't know, but it was not a plane. Love your videos by the way and keep up the great work.
So, that crack in your car's interior door panel is a sign to watch out for the car about to break up? No wonder this RUclipsr was targeted for their absurd videos.
My dad told me about a flight he was on one time when the plane hit some turbulence. The flight attendants had just started serving the evening meal when the plane hit the turbulence, my dad had just gotten his meal when the tray ended up level with his eyes as the plane made a sudden drop. He laughed as he said he saved his coffee, the most important part of the meal for someone in the military.
Kelsey, I want to speak on the behalf of all the people who never flown before. You are such an amazing person! You are brave that you want to speak against all the people who have no idea what they are talking about. I want to thank you for going into a deep guide on what would actually happen 😊
When friends or relatives talk about turbulence or airliner safety, I always show them the wing breaking strength test videos. It always reassures them.
It amazes me that some people can speak with so much confidence and yet, so much ignorance. Some tape on a piece of plastic comes loose and he's convinced the plane it gonna snap in half. 🤣🤣🤣
In my past life as an engineer, flying through turbulence was the most fun. More severe the turbulence, the more giggly i got. Anti aircraft Flak, now that's a nightmare
@@AlenB29 if I remember correctly during the London air raid made by the Reicht the UK tested and used many times ground to air missile, I don’t know if others Nations used similar anti-aircraft systems in addition to Flak.
I totally agree. The horror of not knowing if you're going to be next, or what if... What if the flak partially exploded in the cabin and rip off my legs, or blows out my guts, or my arms off...and how painful it will be. So much horror of what flak can do to flesh and bones
I'm with you I love turbulence too especially if you get big sudden drops. Free thrill ride baby! It only sucks if you have a drink at the time or stuff starts flying around.
youtube's OG flight attendant who did a collaboration with me when I was just a lost little RUclips newbie trying to figure out my way! thanks for all the tips and helping the channel be better for everyone
I was a flight attendant about 20 years ago for a large carrier. Even though I had grown accustomed to turbulence, one experience stands out. We were in route to West Palm Beach Florida from Newark NJ. It got bumpy and the captain turned on the seat belt sign. After about 2 minutes it got real bad. We experienced severe down drafts and at one point the plane (old 727) dropped between 500 to 1000 feet all at once. Scared me a little, but I had to keep my game face on for the passengers. 5 minutes later we were out of it, but you could see the fear in people's faces. Later, the captain told me that the planes radar had malfunctioned and they had flown straight through the heart of a severe storm instead of aroung it. I'm just glad everybody in the cabin was strapped in, because anything loose had hit the ceiling. Hard.
Lol, I had to fly these little puddle jumpers (dual prop planes) to reach a business destination. Hated those things. (American Eagle?) Flew through a storm over Dallas/Ft. Worth, and I swear we dropped 500 ft at one point. Wasn't exactly a brown pants moment, but it came close, lol. (Later than week, I was at the airport to pick up my boss, but his flight was cancelled. Evidently, his plane was on fire at the departing airport. I started driving not too long after that...)
I am afraid of flying, but my fear has gotten better thanks to you Kelsey. You saying that the pilots want to go home too and won't fly a plane they feel is unsafe has helped my fear a lot.
I lol'd at you talking about forgetting you were flying passengers and didn't slow down for the turbulence 😂 I'll be able to relax more the next time I fly bc I will start laughing if it happens
I LOVE the UFO footage. When I first watched it looked like a dark cylinder slowly rotating along the vertical plane. Then you said "contrail" and my brain immediately saw it for what it was. The camera is passing behind the contrail of a plane traveling perpendicular to it. What a great optical illusion.
I'm not surprised if intelligent life exist on other planets too, but I Will be really surprised if they are here and just do nothing for 50 years except kidnapping cows andre people. If they could travel at 1K C, it would still take them 100 years to cross The Milky Way, and 13000 years one way from the Andromeda galaxy that contains all the greys.
Having watched these videos for years, there has been an explosion of ppl who have NO study or experience, making really dumb comments based on no information & sometimes scary. This guy is one of them.
Kelsey, I had just watched that same Video last night and recalled thinking that plastic pop out of a wall panel is no big deal. Thanks for choosing this one to Roast. It can go a long way to help relax the public when they know that there are a LOT of things that can happen when flying that are far from dangerous.
Not only does he make a lot of stuff up but he also sounds like his mic is up his nostril. It’s all for the views for RUclipsrs like that guy. 74 Gear is always on point and honest so thank you for that.
This is literally the single greatest video on the internet today. Finally someone credible calls out the false stuff in these videos. Absolute respect to you!
Sorry 74 Gear, I follow you always. I just feel like pontificating! In one given year for my job I flew 250K miles. I've been in the air for so long, and so often (like many professionals that have to travel) - that I've seen a ton of stuff myself. I will only relate one incident, based on the turbulence incident at about 12:05 or so... and I give credit to a fellow passenger across the isle from me, who must have also had a lot of experience. We hit a pocket of turbulence that obviously the crew had not received previous warnings about. The plane became a bucking steer, and the food cart was bouncing and rolling as well. The flight attendant (a young lady in this case) fell into the aisle. Then she elevated on the next sudden descent, where at that point myself and the gentleman across the aisle simply put our hands on her back and pushed her onto the floor. I always remember this because a lot of people were sort of losing it, or at least screaming, and we both reached simultaneously and looked at each other. We had this. And honestly, it was not my first time - I also flew as a private pilot in small planes with really big thermals (!!!) I was just so glad that he was there, and we kept her safe. Of course everything ended up o.k. People don't know how good these planes are in these situations. But I do. Another story for another day, about St. Louis landing during tornado issues. I'll wait on that one! Sorry for the long note.
Dude I'm not a pilot and randomly stumbled across your channel and just liked it... I have no knowledge of how to fly a plane but my undergrad is in Physics and I can't tell you how much this happens in my current field. The best thing that came from the internet is the ability to quickly share information... the worst thing that came from the internet is when youtube gave a monetized platform to m0r0ns.
People that make these fear mongering videos know they provide mass views. They act like they are providing information to “warn” people of potential hazards, but all they are doing is click baiting people into viewing their channel due to lack of traffic or interest in their channel. I appreciate channels like 74 Gear calling these people out on their lack of knowledge and bs. Keep up the great work Kelsey! Keep the blue side up
I have been watching your videos for several months. I've been listening to live ATC, and reading technical manuals. Thanks to your help, I took my first flight without anxiety meds last week. Knowledge is the best anxiety med I could have taken. Thanks Kelsey!
Aaargh! The wallpaper in my living room is ripped! My house is going to fall down. No wait. It isn't load bearing wallpaper. The plane is probably okay too.
Over the last month, this has become one of my favorite channels. I'm not even an aviation guy, but you make this very relatable and entertaining. You're the man K!
One of my friends lost his engine (small plane) and landed it on the freeway up in Grass Valley, California. No injuries, but it helped that some motorists were licensed pilots, saw Rick's plane coming down towards the highway, and assisted with getting the other drivers to slow down to make room for his plane to land safely. Turns out there was a bit a water in the fuel tank which caused the engine to shut down. His plane was removed so quickly that the news crew from Sacramento TV stations missed the drama and showed up to a perfectly normal highway and had to catch Rick at the airport for an interview!
Fun fact. There are places in Central Australia, where the highway is especially marked out for use as a runway. These are used by the Royal Flying Dr Service, and when it's going to be used as a runway, the highway is closed by the local police.
About turbulence: After a long repair in an outstation, our AC was in ferry flight back to base with only the crew and 2 engineers on board. Me being exhausted, i was a sleep laying across 2 seats when we suddenly hit turbulence. After being weightless for a moment and ending up in the fwd galley you realize that even during 'less formal' flights you better fasten that seat belt. I must say that during that flight, we needed multiple alt changes to get out of the (really) rough patch. Certainly can imagine that some passengers experience (severe) anxiety is such situations. The last thing they need before a flight is an idiot spreading such misinformation on yt. Great video, as always.
I was a frequent flyer and went through a phase of omg I'm gonna die in a plane crash. My main problem was that I had no idea how flight works...so it was all kind of scary. I then spent several years with desktop flight simulation as a much loved hobby, learned my lessons, and developed immense respect for modern aircraft and the professionals that fly them. Now I love flying and the greatest threat is that I'll fall asleep and miss out on the show. Last time I flew I was asleep before takeoff and was awakened by the flight attendant when we landed at O'hare . Damn!
There seems to be an IRRATIONAL fear associated with dying in a flying-related crash, that most people have. I’m not a psychologist, so I don’t know why that is, but my guess would be, that it is associated with the fact that it is unnatural and abnormal for human beings to be “detached” from the earth (terra-firma). No matter how much I try and convince people with STATS, that flying is the safest form of transportation, and that the chances of dying in an airplane crash are infinitesimally small, and that they are significantly more likely to die on the way to the airport, it just does not seem to “register”. That is why, I firmly believe, that every single airline should have a free class for passengers, that is fairly extensive, explaining everything involved with FLIGHT, in SIMPLIFIED laymen terms! (Sort of a “ground school in laymen terms” that pilots go through to get their certificates).
Ever since my dad took me up in a Cessna 195 I’ve been fascinated. I was never afraid to fly. My sister became a pilot as well. We took all our family vacations by plane, mostly on a Piper PA-23 Geronimo. Never had any issues.
@@747-pilot I could argue the Japanese Shinkansen network is the safest form of travel, 50 years, 10 billion passengers and not even 1 injury. However you could argue it can be lumped into "Trains" and well Egypt and India make it look bad. Good comment anyway.
Retired now, but flew a LOT for work. I got to the point where turbulence just put me to sleep. It was like a rocking chair....couldn't keep my eyes open!
Great video Kelsey!! The first one about the panel separating was spot on. If the aircraft actually had an exterior crack the plane would not be that quiet. From my Air Force days it was easy to how boring this event really was. Personally I love turbulence!! Makes me feel like I’m really in the air.
As a licensed Airframe and Powerplant Technician, I would say that the interior wall (just plastic BTW) seem came unfastened. No threat at all to the aircraft. I can tell you with no doubt that the exterior was in no danger. If there was a crack in the exterior the air pressure would be lost on the inside of the plane. There would also be a lot of noise caused by wind along with fog in the cabin caused by loss of cabin pressure. Had I been on that flight, I would not have been at all worried.
What I was wondering is how much flexing a fuselage undergoes in flight, especially where the wings attach. A little bit of flex, plus some tolerance build-up with the fitting of the interior panels could perhaps have resulted in a panel whose fitment in place was at the edge of acceptable tolerances popping loose. I'm not convinced that Kelsey's correct in saying that the inner panel has nothing to do with the outer hull, because the outer hull and the frame of the plane is the substrate to which the inner panels are attached. A popped inner panel by itself doesn't weaken the fuselage, but one can still ask why it popped off. A loose fastener let go because of cumulative vibration? A young kid sticking some implement into the seam? Or some kind of flexing of the substrate?
@@grizzlygrizzle He meant that the interior panels have nothing to do with the structure of the hull. Cargo and military transport aircraft don't even have those interior panels. They have nothing to do with how the plane flies.
@@04m6gto -- I know that, but the inner panels are structurally dependent on the hull. Dependency is a relationship. Precision in language is important. When listeners and readers interpret statements, a good part of the interpretation is subconscious and associative. In this case, which has a lot to do with the emotional responses of people to seeing loose panels, it would have been more convincing if he had said, "The panels' integrity is dependent on the hull, not the other way round." -- But still, seeing cracks in sheetrock are at least suggestive that a house is settling, and inner fuselage panels coming loose MIGHT indicate some structural movement in the hull, or it COULD just be the result of some overall vibration and the panels having been fitted too close to the limit of tolerances. In this case, it warranted a diversion of the flight, and presumably a more thorough inspection on the ground. -- What Kelsey said about the ceiling panels having attached wires to keep the panels from falling on passengers indicates that it's not all that rare for panels to come loose during heavy turbulence. If the pilot had told the passengers that during the flight, it would have been more reassuring, I think.
Fog only happens as the moisture boils out of the air during an immediate pressure change. It is not persistent, which is a moot point anyway, because a slow leak would not cause enough of an immediate pressure differential to cause fogging. Also, if there is a split seam on the outer skin, there will be no gaping hole to generate wind noise. You should stick to jewellery and 3D printing, you're not fooling all of us.
Great video, as always. One thing, as a GA pilot, landing on a highway in an emergency wouldn't be my first choice. Sure, highways LOOK a lot like runways and they can be tempting. But. In addition to cars, they also tend to have power lines, signs, lamp posts and other obstacles around, across and along them. A field or clearing is a better choice if it's available.
Great info as always. FYI, I've been on a flight where the plastic was separated. No big deal. It's obvious to any 10 year old that it's not structural.
I get sick and have been on too many tough flights as a kid. I don’t fly any more because of how sick I used to get. You put my paranoid mind at ease, it’s hard to trust anyone let alone at altitude when I’m feeling sick, but I would fly with you man. 🤘
I’ve always wondered why you slow the plane down during turbulence. Thanks for explaining that. I became scared of flying in a 747 when it flew it into a major hail storm. People who didn’t know each other held hands and prayed. When we disembarked, I saw paint had peeled off and there were dents on the plane. For years I had anxiety attacks every time I got on a plane. I still love aviation and thank you for explaining these things. It really helps!
Flew into S.F. a few weeks ago during that incredible storm they had - I thought I had been bounced around pretty good before but we did some rockin and rollin on the way in. The pilot was AMAZING - I had a window seat and I could see/feel the wing tip rock in the wind during landing and we were crabbed but just when we were about to touch down it was like nothing had happened at all. No bounce no tip or swing - the wings just leveled out and we gently touched down as if it were a gentle summer day of 80 degrees.
Had a similar experience once when I was in a turboprop plane flying out of Denver. The weather was rough and the plane was so small we were getting tossed around left and right. The pilot handled it well though and the ride was more uncomfortable than scary, we got from point A to point B without a hitch.
Happened to me landing in Moscow a few years back! My mother was petrified and I was a little nervous and my nervous response is to start laughing so I was looked at like a little maniac for a few minutes lol but almost as soon as it started it was all smooth and chill and the pilot did great
This is a **GREAT** idea for an aviation video series!! I really hope Kelsey does more of these - and exposes these charlatans for the idiots they are.
Thank you, Kelsey. I get so annoyed with people who know nothing spreading information like this. I now have 7 hours in the bag in flight school now! Partially because of you!!
Kelsey, I watch your videos because facts help my anxiety. I was fine with turbulence until an incident of severe clear air turbulence that started with a 1,000 ft vertical drop and then a terrifyingly loud, shaking plunge towards the Nevada desert. It ended with a middle-of-the-night emergency landing where paramedics hauled off the injured FAs (and some unbuckled passengers). It was a blurb on the news, which is much better than being a headline. The UA Capt had close to 20,000 hours and when he addressed us at the airport said that he’d never flown through worse. Even though my logical brain knows flying is safe, my nervous system reacts on its own…but I still fly.
My sister is always scared from planes by videos like this and im sick of explaining why planes are so safe, you really roasted him! Thanks for this Capitain!
20:40 most ignorant statement ever made. Singling out Cessna. For starters Cessna is a blanket statement. Second Cessna 172 is like the number 1 purchased plane. So naturally the margins will scale equally. They are super reliable planes. Leave our Cessnas alone!
Also, considering that more Cessna 172s have been built than any other aircraft, it’s to be expected that there are higher numbers of forced landings and other emergencies…
Personally, I feel, Cessnas are one of the best and safest GA aircraft out there. I may be a bit partial to them, since all my training, private, instrument, commercial was done on different models of Cessnas. But even putting my totally unbiased hat on, I would still say the same thing. I’ve never been a fan of Pipers! Ever!
I was going to say this. At least they are having forced landings rather than crashes. The youtuber has no idea what he is talking about. Its like Kelsey says. This guy is just fearmongering and playing the algorithm with slow narration and slow pauses of intrigue without straight up saying what he really wants to say. Very little information is being relayed on those videos, just a guy saying some stuff he probably read off 2 or 3 search hits on google.
To add to that, GA aircraft are much more likely to have issues because there's almost no oversight. The pilots are hobbyists, they don't go through psych evaluation and whatnot, they don't have that much experience, and maintenance can be an issue as well. So yeah, they have more incidents. But they also endanger largely only themselves, and even them it's not that bad.
Biggest safety issue with the section cracking is a plane full of passengers panicking. Fear has a ripple effect....whether that fear is justified or not.
I still have a memory of going up in a tow glider, and the pilot saying "if the door falls off, don't worry, we don't need it!" Still my favorite flight :) (didn't fall off, everything was fine, and it was amazing!) the thing I find funny about these video's, is that if they are showing the video, they likely landed safely with a great story :)
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 I don't know but I'd guess that Spiderman would have saved use just moments before crashing... I hadn't had my one yet... Oh and the "door" on the glider we were in was basically a 2-3' by 1-2 foot panel of aluminum or something... So so if it hit anything I don't think the damage would (could be) catastrophic to the structure. (This is all from my early teen memories so I could be totally off on any or all of it LOL)
@@chrisanderson5974 Ah a glider, perhaps that is one reason why so many have T-tails, the horizontal stab’ is high up and the vertical is made stronger. I know people who lost their lives when big debris hit the tail and took it all away.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 I don't remember the craft that well, but I think it was just a normal tail on it. "_I_" It was at least 30 years ago now :P (had to use the quotes or it changed that to a slash thing? odd)
The only fear of turbulence I'd ever have would be caused by blue juice splashing up on my butt in the middle of becoming a member of the mile-high poop club.
I’m glad the one with the contrail was in here. I had seen images of that on several other videos with titles such as “No one was supposed to see this…” I knew it was just “clickbait,” so I simply moved on; but the curiosity inside of me kept wondering about what it actually was. Thanks to this video, I now know what it is!
Thanks for educational videos! If you're ever flowing boxes for FedEx overnight, something I am guessing most pilots don't know is that's the preferred service for flying animals for delivery (reptiles, frogs, etc.).. they're packed in way that try to be humane as possible but only so much sellers can do. FedEx apparently has the best policies for animal delivery.
I've been on incredibly turbulent flights and my only thought was, if only these passengers hadn't brought so many super heavy carryons, we would be safer. Several of the overheads had popped open and the luggage fell onto people. I'm not too much of a jerk, I just hope the luggage fell onto the people who brought them on.
I watch the plane crash channels and I'm still not afraid to fly. I find them educational and ideas on how to survive a crash. I've been in many flights and 3 of them had situations that took planes down in many videos I've seen and I'm fine and alive and never been in a plane crash. Thanks be to God. 🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏼
"On this flight, the attendant dropped a cup of coffee. They said it was just a spill, but I think that was just to prevent a panic. I feel that if they kept flying, the coffee would melt through the floor causing it to crash into an orphanage."
It's basically what he said in the video lmao
"This passenger brought some Hot Tamales on the plane. He dropped a few and now I imagine there is lava pouring all over the floor. The attendant said it was no big deal but now I feel like they're all gonna die."
and then break in half...
Lol
It felt like like a good short story until the end
The cracked interior and inferring the plane was ready to breaking in half, is like saying your house is going to snap in two because the drywall cracked.
And some people think things like that to be true.
I was thinking more of interior trim on a car, oh no my door panel popped off. my car is going to break in half.

It's literally the first thing I noticed too and if it were me making the video I'd have said something.
In my career as a professional airplane passenger, I think the most important thing is to panic, as soon as you hear a loud noise, because as an experienced passenger, your freaking out will improve any situation. Really let the pilots know, that given the choice you would prefer not to crash. without your input these experienced highly educated and trained professionals, would be lost, and may be tempted to put the plane into a nose dive for fun.

@@MeppyMan Agreed. Any time I'm on a flight and we hit turbulence I get way too excited. Tapping on the shoulder of a complete stranger sitting next to me.. "Look out the window and check out the wing flexing, isn't it great!"

Ahhh! The sky is falling!!!
Ah I like the analogy
Or there being a hole in your drywall means your wall is going to fall down.
imagen thinking the entire airplane is held together with a plastic panel lol
Excuse me Mr 74 but as an experienced passenger, it's quite clear from that interior damage that the wings are about to fall off and panic is the only sensible response.
Yes. I've clocked about 1000 hours in Warthunder and this is my professional opinion as well.
Right. I've watched a lot of movies. This wings were definitely going to fall off and burst into flames.
@@Speed.Racer.5 I've played gta and I agree with this statement
“experienced passenger”. he’s a great pilot! listen to him! not the fake guy
@@CorrodedGalaxy it was a joke
I laughed at the wall panel thing. "The plane would've cracked in half. How would you react?" - as an engineer on the subject, I'd land the plane for safety concerns, then have a veeeery long call with the contractor doing wall panels. Especially their upper management. That would go sooo well.
When the video panned over to the wall fixture, I full on ugly laughed.
To put it into a context that non aviation people might be able to visualize:
One plastic wall panelling panel unattached itself from the one next to it. The house is going to collapse. Nevermind the brick wall on the other side of the wall insulation. We are all going to die.
Given that even in houses wall panelling is usually plywood less than 1/4 inch thick, I can't understand people panicking when they KNOW the outer shell of the plane is metal and not plastic.
I laughed so hard I got a belly ache.
I saw another aviation video where a plane lost a whole big piece of the plane over the Pacific and landed safely with a big hole in it, in Hawaii. I think a couple passengers got sucked out and lost, but everybody else made it.
@Eileen Hawkins wasn't it the roof that blew off? Iirc early boeing composites in civil aviation.
@@andrewyork3869 I think Eileen may be referring to United Airlines Flight 811. That's the one where there was a malfunction with the cargo door.

"What would you have done if you saw this big crack?" I would've used the heel of my hand to pop the plastic panel back in place and told the passengers to shut up and get back to their SkyMall catalog.
The worst part is an unplanned landing and probably missing your connection flight
Hand the passenger some super glue and tell him "Get to work."
Yeah, I was thinking these panels are probably designed to be easily taken off for maintenance, and something just slipped out during the turbulence, making the panel pop out. Nothing wrong with it.
"It's a Boeing; they all do that"
I'm peeking in the crack talking to the imaginary monster.
"Hey buddy, easy on the wall, okay? No need to freak everyone out . . . yet."

Last time I flew Southwest, the pilot made an announcement that we were "starting our descent," and giving us the time and temperature at our "destination," but it was only to distract us from the fact that if we didn't land, we would eventually run out of fuel and lose power to the engines, potentially resulting in an emergency landing or a crash. Clearly the pilot had a deathwish. Eventually, we landed safely.... this time.
We dove for the runway, but at the last minute he pulled the nose up. The pilot was suicidal. Eventually, we landed safely...this time.
Haha, landed with no engines and fuel!
@@jaycee330 All of a sudden, as we were preparing to exit the aircraft, I started noticing that we were moving. I took a look out of the window to my left, and to my surprise, we were moving forward. Within seconds, we were getting faster, and faster.

@@74gear And you are good at it .
I watched so many air crash investigation shows, and they actually made me feel much safer flying. Even the tragic deaths are not in vain, as the amount of research and investigation that goes into figuring out why and preventing a recurrence is amazing. Imagine if every single car crash could be investigated so thoroughly, with mandatory cooperation from the manufacturers! But I do realize how unrealistic that is...
I, too, have benefitted from watching crash investigation shows. What I have learnt from them might not qualify me for anything much beyond being an armchair expert, but no doubt will help me in some way when something out of the ordinary turns up.
Disinformation is of course a big issue on social media. So its nice when a professional clears things up
"As a passenger how would you react to..."
Me: I'd return to my seat and put my seatbelt on properly.
"I didn't get to say what the problem was!"
Me: You didn't really have to, that is the correct response as a passenger to anything you are worried about. If you become worried about anything while flying as a passenger, then return to your seat, put your seatbelt on, and do anything the flight attendants say.
counterpoint: "...to your Taco Bell dinner deciding it's job is done, here."
Same. The flight crew is in the same level of danger/safety I am. Sometimes ya just got to trust the professionals and enjoy the flight.
Yeah, listening to flight attendant is very important when there are problem in flight
"Whatever will be, will be" is an attitude more people need to adopt. Whatever happens with the flight, as a passenger you are helpless to change it, so you might as well do the safest possible thing and await the end of the situation. Anything else can only possibly worsen the situation.

In the U.S. isn’t there a licence free category for flying sub-micro/ultralights? Imagine such pilots reading the criminal garbage ‘advice’ touted in comments in RUclips flying videos. The morons could contribute to killing someone.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 I have never heard of a sub-micro but I can tell you that you need a licence here in New Zealand to fly an ultralight aircraft. Yes it is less stringent process to get it but that is because there are more restrictions on where and what you can fly. Such is not flying over built up urban areas. People like them because they use less fuel and cost less to insure.
I love how this joker just immediately admits that he is just going to ignore anything the flight crew or pilots say because he will just assume they are lying to prevent panic.
I think the most important thing was said in the first section: the pilots are in the same plane and they want to go home after the flight as well. So they will do everything possible to bring the bird down safely. And turbulences: I usually say then "it's a bumpy road today", sit back, enjoy the view out the window and that's it.
"hundreds if not thousands of forced landings it's a Cessna!"
Jeez, I wonder if it could be the fact that Cessna is one of the most popular single engine airplanes made. In fact the Cessna 172 is the most produced civilian ever.
Also, if you're on a regular commercial flight, chances are you won't be flying in a Cessna.
Also the fact that to people who are clueless about aviation, every small single engined civil prop plane is a Cessna.
I also find it hilarious that a successful emergency landing is categorized as dangerous. Like what are you worried about if the landing was successful? To me that’s more a sign that the aircrafts are safe as they can handle failures.
It’s like the fact that people suffer more dog bites from golden retrievers and chihuahuas every year then by for example pit bulls... it’s just because there are more of them 🤷♀️ but you don’t see those dogs being banned.

She asks what kind of plane we're on and I pull out a Popular Science (maybe Mechanics) with a dramatic artists rendering of 243 in distress on the cover. Everyone in the row saw the picture. I was lucky and amazed to see 5 people with a great sense of humor, they all smiled.
When your plane actually cracks in half for real and even that didn't stop it from crashing
Vaccinations, aviation, petro-chemical production etc etc - you'll always find people with strong feelings on subjects they don't really know much about but feel competent to comment on despite their lack of education in that particular area
The pattern is a lack of trust in basically anyone that isn't themselves. No trust in doctors, pilots, engineers..
It's not necessarily lack of education. Research is showing that conspiracy theory believers tend to be well educated, but as they get more isolated, they'll look for a place where they can feel like they belong.
It explains why some doctors and nurses (usually both well educated and intelligent people) can deny vaccines as "a hoax" and such.

Number of years ago I had a small plane land in front of me on the interstate. I saw no problem with it, he needed to land and found a nice, big open spot and did so. Followed him for a little ways, got a little concerned when we came to an overpass but he glided right through it just fine. He pulled off on the nearest exit and parked it. I pulled in behind him. His engine had forgotten to work and he didn't have anywhere else to land. I asked him why he just kept rolling, he said he was afraid of getting in trouble if he blocked the freeway! Fortunately, that part of the freeway was on a slight downhill incline, so he was able to just keep going until he got to the exit. Only took about a quarter of a mile, maybe less. He was a little shook up, but the important thing is that he didn't get that way until he was out of the plane. Kept his head during the incident itself. I think he did just fine. Much more interesting than the usual boring traffic.
His engine forgor to work
If I ever see a small plane land on the highway or road in front of me, then I will put on the emergency flashing or hazard lights or what they are called (I forgot the english name of them) and then follow the plane behind it. As to help to warn other drivers or be "emergency" vehicle until the real onces are able to come and take over. Plus who knows? Maybe the pilot having an illness and needs first aid.

@@kenbrown2808 - People buy the cheapest ticket possible, so airlines don’t take on unnecessary costs…they nickel and dime everywhere possible. Interior panels are replaced on an as needed basis because they are not a safety critical item. They get replaced after they break, not on a set schedule. Those panels usually just pop out after somebody (or their kid) was bored and sat there and kicked/reefed on it for an entire flight. At the end of almost every day there is interior vandalism that needs to be repaired.
BTW, I guarantee that aircraft mechanics are paid nowhere near what you think they should be.
To answer most of your questions.
Planes expand and contract during flights from temperature and pressure
Interiors of airplanes are created by small panels fitted together loosely for this reason and can be misaligned and popped out easily.
On the other side of those panels are everything from struts and structural members that the outer skin is attached to.
You could theoretically remove every damn panel during a flight and it will arrive safely but you would be pretty chilly during the trip.

If you're diving deep, then you're a submariner. Aviators do their best work up in the sky.
I had seen this video of the plane in question in another video or plane crash investigations or something like it. And this particular plane did land. However i cannot remember all the details of what actually happened, though it was not just a simple matter of two plastic panels coming apart. Those panels in the clip came apart due to an incident from something outside of the plane.. But the pilots did make a diversion as a precaution and had the plane sorted out.
As for the company making a decision of weather you carry on or not, with your flight to your destination is NOT CORRECT. It is the decision of the pilots and captain alone, to decide weather to land as a precaution and get the plane over looked out of safety. And not the companies.
These panels do not just pop open for no reason. So on that respect the pilots did send a member of the crew to look at it yes, and then i think the first officer came to have a look before talking to the captain. They did divert and land in safety and they did sort the problem out. Better to be a little late in your arrival than not to arrive at all. As for the contrail, they're white not black, and the plane was not climbing, it was on a set course, however the object that was being filmed appears to be tilting and changing direction. May i also add that contrails do not change direction as well. As to what the object was i don't know, but it was not a plane.
Love your videos by the way and keep up the great work.
So, that crack in your car's interior door panel is a sign to watch out for the car about to break up? No wonder this RUclipsr was targeted for their absurd videos.
My dad told me about a flight he was on one time when the plane hit some turbulence.

I totally agree. The horror of not knowing if you're going to be next, or what if... What if the flak partially exploded in the cabin and rip off my legs, or blows out my guts, or my arms off...and how painful it will be. So much horror of what flak can do to flesh and bones

I was a flight attendant about 20 years ago for a large carrier. Even though I had grown accustomed to turbulence, one experience stands out. We were in route to West Palm Beach Florida from Newark NJ. It got bumpy and the captain turned on the seat belt sign. After about 2 minutes it got real bad. We experienced severe down drafts and at one point the plane (old 727) dropped between 500 to 1000 feet all at once. Scared me a little, but I had to keep my game face on for the passengers. 5 minutes later we were out of it, but you could see the fear in people's faces. Later, the captain told me that the planes radar had malfunctioned and they had flown straight through the heart of a severe storm instead of aroung it. I'm just glad everybody in the cabin was strapped in, because anything loose had hit the ceiling. Hard.
Lol, I had to fly these little puddle jumpers (dual prop planes) to reach a business destination. Hated those things. (American Eagle?)
Flew through a storm over Dallas/Ft. Worth, and I swear we dropped 500 ft at one point. Wasn't exactly a brown pants moment, but it came close, lol.

If they could travel at 1K C, it would still take them 100 years to cross The Milky Way, and 13000 years one way from the Andromeda galaxy that contains all the greys.
"My headliner is falling down in my car, the car is going break in half!" That guysy logic 🤦♂️
"Oh no, my seat has a tear in it, we're all going to die!"
"Mayday mayday mayday, we have a crack in a passenger's seat. Requesting vector to nearest available airport!"
"Negative we are directing you out to sea away from potential ground casualties. Godd luck lol"
*MAY DAY MAY DAY* SOMEONE SPILLED THERE COFFE ITS GOING TO MELT THROUGH THE PLANE
People who leave mean, hateful comments are not worth reading. Kelsey you r fine the way u r. Your videos have calmed my stress with flying.
Having watched these videos for years, there has been an explosion of ppl who have NO study or experience, making really dumb comments based on no information & sometimes scary. This guy is one of them.
“Are you ready?”
“Oh I’m ready!”
So are we Kelsey, so are we 😅 Thank you for another beautiful roast.
haha thanks glad you enjoyed it Rachel
Are you ready? Every time I hear it, it reminds me of Edwin Sarkissian and Jasperito channel :D
" Things have gotten way way much easier" Excellent narration
Kelsey, I had just watched that same Video last night and recalled thinking that plastic pop out of a wall panel is no big deal. Thanks for choosing this one to Roast. It can go a long way to help relax the public when they know that there are a LOT of things that can happen when flying that are far from dangerous.
“Pilots typically are kind of lazy” lol!! Loved that Kelsey!
I rode on a C 141with no frills seats of canvas no cushions. No insulation loud sound of engines with no mufflers. You should be happy for walls.
Not only does he make a lot of stuff up but he also sounds like his mic is up his nostril.
It’s all for the views for RUclipsrs like that guy.
74 Gear is always on point and honest so thank you for that.
This is literally the single greatest video on the internet today. Finally someone credible calls out the false stuff in these videos. Absolute respect to you!
Sorry 74 Gear, I follow you always. I just feel like pontificating! In one given year for my job I flew 250K miles. I've been in the air for so long, and so often (like many professionals that have to travel) - that I've seen a ton of stuff myself. I will only relate one incident, based on the turbulence incident at about 12:05 or so... and I give credit to a fellow passenger across the isle from me, who must have also had a lot of experience. We hit a pocket of turbulence that obviously the crew had not received previous warnings about. The plane became a bucking steer, and the food cart was bouncing and rolling as well. The flight attendant (a young lady in this case) fell into the aisle. Then she elevated on the next sudden descent, where at that point myself and the gentleman across the aisle simply put our hands on her back and pushed her onto the floor. I always remember this because a lot of people were sort of losing it, or at least screaming, and we both reached simultaneously and looked at each other. We had this. And honestly, it was not my first time - I also flew as a private pilot in small planes with really big thermals (!!!) I was just so glad that he was there, and we kept her safe. Of course everything ended up o.k. People don't know how good these planes are in these situations. But I do. Another story for another day, about St. Louis landing during tornado issues. I'll wait on that one! Sorry for the long note.
"There is a BIG chance of the plane cracking in half" , wow! How very scientific!
🤭 Thanks Kelsey.
Dude I'm not a pilot and randomly stumbled across your channel and just liked it... I have no knowledge of how to fly a plane but my undergrad is in Physics and I can't tell you how much this happens in my current field. The best thing that came from the internet is the ability to quickly share information... the worst thing that came from the internet is when youtube gave a monetized platform to m0r0ns.
People that make these fear mongering videos know they provide mass views. They act like they are providing information to “warn” people of potential hazards, but all they are doing is click baiting people into viewing their channel due to lack of traffic or interest in their channel. I appreciate channels like 74 Gear calling these people out on their lack of knowledge and bs. Keep up the great work Kelsey! Keep the blue side up
I have been watching your videos for several months. I've been listening to live ATC, and reading technical manuals. Thanks to your help, I took my first flight without anxiety meds last week. Knowledge is the best anxiety med I could have taken. Thanks Kelsey!
How do you listen to the ATC? Isn’t it difficult to understand because they talk so fast and use codes?
Congratulations! 🛫 🌞 🛬
When the opening sentence is “Well, this dude’s bout to get roasted.” You know shit is about to go down.
shit about to go down...
... coming up.
I think Kelsey went pretty easy on him. Imagine if it was thunderf00t debunking his videos... poor guy would wake up crying without even knowing why.
@@kenbrown2808 YES
Aaargh! The wallpaper in my living room is ripped! My house is going to fall down. No wait. It isn't load bearing wallpaper. The plane is probably okay too.
Over the last month, this has become one of my favorite channels. I'm not even an aviation guy, but you make this very relatable and entertaining. You're the man K!
One of my friends lost his engine (small plane) and landed it on the freeway up in Grass Valley, California. No injuries, but it helped that some motorists were licensed pilots, saw Rick's plane coming down towards the highway, and assisted with getting the other drivers to slow down to make room for his plane to land safely. Turns out there was a bit a water in the fuel tank which caused the engine to shut down. His plane was removed so quickly that the news crew from Sacramento TV stations missed the drama and showed up to a perfectly normal highway and had to catch Rick at the airport for an interview!
Fun fact. There are places in Central Australia, where the highway is especially marked out for use as a runway. These are used by the Royal Flying Dr Service, and when it's going to be used as a runway, the highway is closed by the local police.
About turbulence: After a long repair in an outstation, our AC was in ferry flight back to base with only the crew and 2 engineers on board. Me being exhausted, i was a sleep laying across 2 seats when we suddenly hit turbulence. After being weightless for a moment and ending up in the fwd galley you realize that even during 'less formal' flights you better fasten that seat belt. I must say that during that flight, we needed multiple alt changes to get out of the (really) rough patch. Certainly can imagine that some passengers experience (severe) anxiety is such situations. The last thing they need before a flight is an idiot spreading such misinformation on yt. Great video, as always.
I was a frequent flyer and went through a phase of omg I'm gonna die in a plane crash. My main problem was that I had no idea how flight works...so it was all kind of scary. I then spent several years with desktop flight simulation as a much loved hobby, learned my lessons, and developed immense respect for modern aircraft and the professionals that fly them. Now I love flying and the greatest threat is that I'll fall asleep and miss out on the show. Last time I flew I was asleep before takeoff and was awakened by the flight attendant when we landed at O'hare . Damn!
I used to be terrified to fly. My cure was to take a ground school class. It worked and it's worth it.
There seems to be an IRRATIONAL fear associated with dying in a flying-related crash, that most people have. I’m not a psychologist, so I don’t know why that is, but my guess would be, that it is associated with the fact that it is unnatural and abnormal for human beings to be “detached” from the earth (terra-firma).
No matter how much I try and convince people with STATS, that flying is the safest form of transportation, and that the chances of dying in an airplane crash are infinitesimally small, and that they are significantly more likely to die on the way to the airport, it just does not seem to “register”.
That is why, I firmly believe, that every single airline should have a free class for passengers, that is fairly extensive, explaining everything involved with FLIGHT, in SIMPLIFIED laymen terms! (Sort of a “ground school in laymen terms” that pilots go through to get their certificates).
Ever since my dad took me up in a Cessna 195 I’ve been fascinated. I was never afraid to fly. My sister became a pilot as well. We took all our family vacations by plane, mostly on a Piper PA-23 Geronimo. Never had any issues.
@@747-pilot I could argue the Japanese Shinkansen network is the safest form of travel, 50 years, 10 billion passengers and not even 1 injury.
However you could argue it can be lumped into "Trains" and well Egypt and India make it look bad.
Good comment anyway.
Retired now, but flew a LOT for work. I got to the point where turbulence just put me to sleep. It was like a rocking chair....couldn't keep my eyes open!
Great video Kelsey!! The first one about the panel separating was spot on. If the aircraft actually had an exterior crack the plane would not be that quiet. From my Air Force days it was easy to how boring this event really was. Personally I love turbulence!! Makes me feel like I’m really in the air.
As a licensed Airframe and Powerplant Technician, I would say that the interior wall (just plastic BTW) seem came unfastened. No threat at all to the aircraft. I can tell you with no doubt that the exterior was in no danger. If there was a crack in the exterior the air pressure would be lost on the inside of the plane. There would also be a lot of noise caused by wind along with fog in the cabin caused by loss of cabin pressure. Had I been on that flight, I would not have been at all worried.
What I was wondering is how much flexing a fuselage undergoes in flight, especially where the wings attach. A little bit of flex, plus some tolerance build-up with the fitting of the interior panels could perhaps have resulted in a panel whose fitment in place was at the edge of acceptable tolerances popping loose. I'm not convinced that Kelsey's correct in saying that the inner panel has nothing to do with the outer hull, because the outer hull and the frame of the plane is the substrate to which the inner panels are attached. A popped inner panel by itself doesn't weaken the fuselage, but one can still ask why it popped off. A loose fastener let go because of cumulative vibration? A young kid sticking some implement into the seam? Or some kind of flexing of the substrate?
@@grizzlygrizzle He meant that the interior panels have nothing to do with the structure of the hull. Cargo and military transport aircraft don't even have those interior panels. They have nothing to do with how the plane flies.
@@04m6gto -- I know that, but the inner panels are structurally dependent on the hull. Dependency is a relationship. Precision in language is important. When listeners and readers interpret statements, a good part of the interpretation is subconscious and associative. In this case, which has a lot to do with the emotional responses of people to seeing loose panels, it would have been more convincing if he had said, "The panels' integrity is dependent on the hull, not the other way round."
-- But still, seeing cracks in sheetrock are at least suggestive that a house is settling, and inner fuselage panels coming loose MIGHT indicate some structural movement in the hull, or it COULD just be the result of some overall vibration and the panels having been fitted too close to the limit of tolerances. In this case, it warranted a diversion of the flight, and presumably a more thorough inspection on the ground.
-- What Kelsey said about the ceiling panels having attached wires to keep the panels from falling on passengers indicates that it's not all that rare for panels to come loose during heavy turbulence. If the pilot had told the passengers that during the flight, it would have been more reassuring, I think.
I'm airframe, so that one Really made me 😅 laugh
Fog only happens as the moisture boils out of the air during an immediate pressure change. It is not persistent, which is a moot point anyway, because a slow leak would not cause enough of an immediate pressure differential to cause fogging. Also, if there is a split seam on the outer skin, there will be no gaping hole to generate wind noise.
You should stick to jewellery and 3D printing, you're not fooling all of us.
Great video, as always. One thing, as a GA pilot, landing on a highway in an emergency wouldn't be my first choice. Sure, highways LOOK a lot like runways and they can be tempting. But. In addition to cars, they also tend to have power lines, signs, lamp posts and other obstacles around, across and along them. A field or clearing is a better choice if it's available.
Great info as always. FYI, I've been on a flight where the plastic was separated. No big deal. It's obvious to any 10 year old that it's not structural.
I get sick and have been on too many tough flights as a kid. I don’t fly any more because of how sick I used to get. You put my paranoid mind at ease, it’s hard to trust anyone let alone at altitude when I’m feeling sick, but I would fly with you man. 🤘
I’ve always wondered why you slow the plane down during turbulence. Thanks for explaining that. I became scared of flying in a 747 when it flew it into a major hail storm. People who didn’t know each other held hands and prayed. When we disembarked, I saw paint had peeled off and there were dents on the plane. For years I had anxiety attacks every time I got on a plane. I still love aviation and thank you for explaining these things. It really helps!
Flew into S.F. a few weeks ago during that incredible storm they had - I thought I had been bounced around pretty good before but we did some rockin and rollin on the way in.
The pilot was AMAZING - I had a window seat and I could see/feel the wing tip rock in the wind during landing and we were crabbed but just when we were about to touch down it was like nothing had happened at all. No bounce no tip or swing - the wings just leveled out and we gently touched down as if it were a gentle summer day of 80 degrees.
Had a similar experience once when I was in a turboprop plane flying out of Denver. The weather was rough and the plane was so small we were getting tossed around left and right. The pilot handled it well though and the ride was more uncomfortable than scary, we got from point A to point B without a hitch.
Happened to me landing in Moscow a few years back! My mother was petrified and I was a little nervous and my nervous response is to start laughing so I was looked at like a little maniac for a few minutes lol but almost as soon as it started it was all smooth and chill and the pilot did great

This is a **GREAT** idea for an aviation video series!! I really hope Kelsey does more of these - and exposes these charlatans for the idiots they are.
Thank you, Kelsey. I get so annoyed with people who know nothing spreading information like this. I now have 7 hours in the bag in flight school now! Partially because of you!!
Kelsey, I watch your videos because facts help my anxiety. I was fine with turbulence until an incident of severe clear air turbulence that started with a 1,000 ft vertical drop and then a terrifyingly loud, shaking plunge towards the Nevada desert. It ended with a middle-of-the-night emergency landing where paramedics hauled off the injured FAs (and some unbuckled passengers). It was a blurb on the news, which is much better than being a headline. The UA Capt had close to 20,000 hours and when he addressed us at the airport said that he’d never flown through worse. Even though my logical brain knows flying is safe, my nervous system reacts on its own…but I still fly.
My sister is always scared from planes by videos like this and im sick of explaining why planes are so safe, you really roasted him! Thanks for this Capitain!
20:40 most ignorant statement ever made. Singling out Cessna. For starters Cessna is a blanket statement. Second Cessna 172 is like the number 1 purchased plane. So naturally the margins will scale equally. They are super reliable planes. Leave our Cessnas alone!
"OMG the plane is gonna crack in Half!"....Why?...."The armrest on my chair is loose"
Also, considering that more Cessna 172s have been built than any other aircraft, it’s to be expected that there are higher numbers of forced landings and other emergencies…
Personally, I feel, Cessnas are one of the best and safest GA aircraft out there. I may be a bit partial to them, since all my training, private, instrument, commercial was done on different models of Cessnas. But even putting my totally unbiased hat on, I would still say the same thing. I’ve never been a fan of Pipers! Ever!
High wing, time-tested engine options, good glide ratio, great visibility... what's not to love :)
I was going to say this. At least they are having forced landings rather than crashes. The youtuber has no idea what he is talking about. Its like Kelsey says. This guy is just fearmongering and playing the algorithm with slow narration and slow pauses of intrigue without straight up saying what he really wants to say. Very little information is being relayed on those videos, just a guy saying some stuff he probably read off 2 or 3 search hits on google.
To add to that, GA aircraft are much more likely to have issues because there's almost no oversight. The pilots are hobbyists, they don't go through psych evaluation and whatnot, they don't have that much experience, and maintenance can be an issue as well.
So yeah, they have more incidents. But they also endanger largely only themselves, and even them it's not that bad.
I love how he's referring to real life scenarios that he has been through to make everything easier to understand
Biggest safety issue with the section cracking is a plane full of passengers panicking. Fear has a ripple effect....whether that fear is justified or not.
I still have a memory of going up in a tow glider, and the pilot saying "if the door falls off, don't worry, we don't need it!" Still my favorite flight :) (didn't fall off, everything was fine, and it was amazing!) the thing I find funny about these video's, is that if they are showing the video, they likely landed safely with a great story :)
@Chris Anderson - there you go ruining a perfectly good video with logic. Wait! Didn't Kelsey just do that? Ah, well.
If it hits the horizontal stabiliser ask him what comes next.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 I don't know but I'd guess that Spiderman would have saved use just moments before crashing... I hadn't had my one yet... Oh and the "door" on the glider we were in was basically a 2-3' by 1-2 foot panel of aluminum or something... So so if it hit anything I don't think the damage would (could be) catastrophic to the structure. (This is all from my early teen memories so I could be totally off on any or all of it LOL)
@@chrisanderson5974 Ah a glider, perhaps that is one reason why so many have T-tails, the horizontal stab’ is high up and the vertical is made stronger. I know people who lost their lives when big debris hit the tail and took it all away.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 I don't remember the craft that well, but I think it was just a normal tail on it. "_I_" It was at least 30 years ago now :P (had to use the quotes or it changed that to a slash thing? odd)
The only fear of turbulence I'd ever have would be caused by blue juice splashing up on my butt in the middle of becoming a member of the mile-high poop club.
*Kelsey to the go pilot when they hit turbulance* “Damn it Jim, you spilled coffee I’m my romance novel!!”
I’m glad the one with the contrail was in here. I had seen images of that on several other videos with titles such as “No one was supposed to see this…” I knew it was just “clickbait,” so I simply moved on; but the curiosity inside of me kept wondering about what it actually was. Thanks to this video, I now know what it is!
Thanks for educational videos!
If you're ever flowing boxes for FedEx overnight, something I am guessing most pilots don't know is that's the preferred service for flying animals for delivery (reptiles, frogs, etc.).. they're packed in way that try to be humane as possible but only so much sellers can do. FedEx apparently has the best policies for animal delivery.
The best thing about this channel is you can just tell that Kelsey is absolutely loving life 💯
I love these series
Thanks Kelsey for uploaded these :)
thanks for watching Nick.
You should do a video covering examples of light, moderate, heavy, and extreme turbulence.
Yes! Great idea!
I'm not sure how many filmed examples of extreme turbulence there are, given the definition...
I've been on incredibly turbulent flights and my only thought was, if only these passengers hadn't brought so many super heavy carryons, we would be safer. Several of the overheads had popped open and the luggage fell onto people. I'm not too much of a jerk, I just hope the luggage fell onto the people who brought them on.
I watch the plane crash channels and I'm still not afraid to fly. I find them educational and ideas on how to survive a crash. I've been in many flights and 3 of them had situations that took planes down in many videos I've seen and I'm fine and alive and never been in a plane crash. Thanks be to God. 🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏼
