I hope you enjoy this more technical aviation movie scene from Cast Away. The channel is new so if you like the video give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing and joining the 74 Crew. I have some cool videos planned for the year!
Done and Done! Thanks for doing this Kelsey. I love plane crash investigations! Even though this is Hollywood, your perspectives are of huge value for those like me. I hope to see more of these in the future.
Never travel with Tom hanks .... Castaway..stuck on an island ..Sully..lands on a river ...gets stuck in the airport in The Terminal ...His ship gets attacked by pirates in Captain Phillips & goes all the way to the moon just to have his capsule fail in Apollo 13 😀
Carl Bode ... Sleepless in Seattle, (loses his kid on an airplane), Turner and Hooch (gets slobbered by giant doggo), and then there's Forrest Gump... (winds up landing in 'nam!) 😂
This scene is so realistic because it really is like you don’t know what’s going on. As if you were a passenger and you wouldn’t know what was going on. They captured that effect quite well.
That’s true. I hadn’t thought of it til you said that, but I bet that’s why they didn’t bother getting the flight stuff right: it’s showing how it would look from passenger perspective. Your impression would be them shouting random words and hitting switches, even though that’s not what’s exactly really happening. Thank you.
Correct, and there were no external camera pans of a practical model or CGI aircraft to give viewers any other indication other than complete confusion. Well thought out.
Its realistic until you see the plane approaching the sea at like 400kph and Tom Hanks is standing near the cabin without any setbelt. in real life he would have literally exploded in hundreds of pieces lol
Apparently you didn't see the super bowl commercial the next year where she opened the package and it had a Sat phone, global GPS system, and something else can't remember.
You left out my favorite scene: Just before his ill-fated flight, Tom Hanks gives Helen Hunt the car keys, and attached to the keyring is Swiss Army Knife. It had all kinds of nifty tools he could have used on the island.
@@ChloeLouiseeB yeah, AND it was Fedex, who actually had an incident where a pilot flying jumpseat like Tom Hanks brought on a guitar case with some hammers, knives, and a speargun, which he used in an attempted 1v3 fight to crash the plane so his wife could collect on his recent new life insurance policy. The fight lasted almost 40 minutes and featured an incapacitated FO performing barrel rolls and parabolic maneuvers with only control of the left half of his body. In a DC-10. The assailant still was not fully subdued by the time the plane was landing again in memphis
@@lesliefranklin1870 if you haven't seen it, there's a fan-made ending when he returns the package and the orderer opens the package in front of him... you get the rest
Yeah! Billy Connolly said something on one of his stand up shows years ago. “In the event of an air crash, you’ll go into the ground like a fucking dart!” 😂😂😂He has such a direct way of putting things! 🤣🤣🤣
My friend John Frazier was the special effects supervisor on this film. I found it really interesting to have you critique the technical aspects of the pre-crash events. It's still one of my favorite films and even though the majority of the crash sequence in the water was CGI, John did a heck of a job in the scenes you showed. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I remember seeing the film in the theater. I had just turned 11. Genuinely thrilling and terrifying. I remember I grabbed my seat very hard. He did a great job.
I know they have to embellish the visuals a bit for Hollywood drama, but I'm guessing in real life if you're over the ocean at night you would not see the waves approaching through the window. It would be pitch black. Any time I've been on a transoceanic flight there is absolutely nothing visible out the window other than stars and the moon(if it's out).
Word has it that old Tommy Boy was playing with little girls down in the outback and got caught, then after a little time out, he was told never to come back. He had the Epstein bug for sure. That's a long trip and it's even longer with a hard on!!!
But he did take oxygen first before helping. At 9:04 he takes a few puff before giving to Tom. Then he puts on his own mask at 9:15. I'm sure he can hold breath for 10 seconds.
13:45 they could be in a down draft of a thunderstorm or a micro bursts. So if they are in a nose dive speed of descent at about 5,000 fpm and give super severe downdraft ever recorded of 10,000 fpm your vary Close to the 25,000 feet lost in altitude.....
I liked the commercial, some years later, that parodied the movie. Chuck shows up at the ranch with the FedEx box, and the customer says "Oh, my satellite phone finally got here!"
As a teen, I cried when Wilson floated away to that touching music. As an adult, I understand that if Chuck had come back to civilisation being best friends with a volleyball they'd throw him in an asylum.
Not an aviation expert, but it's my understanding that wings are very important to an aircraft. You definitely want to have both of them attached for safely sustainable flight.
Or a phycho shoots both pilots, several passengers and flight attendants, then jams the throttles to max and then puts the plane in a vertical nose dive. That really happened. Plane left a crater after that. Was featured in an episode of Mayday called "I'm the Problem".
@Tyler Buckley Fun fact, a 747 from a Chinese airline heading for California, don't remember whether it was San Fransisco or LA off the top of my head, but they lost control and plummeted from cruising altitude of about that height down to about 5,000-10,000 feet in just a couple of minutes. Miraculously, the pilots managed to regain control seconds before crashing into the Pacific and landed the plane safely.
There was a famous plane crash in Brazil when two aircrafts collided at 37000 feet high, a small Legacy plane sheared off about half of a Boeing 737's left wing, causing the 737 to nosedive and enter an uncontrollable spin, which quickly led to an in-flight breakup. All 154 passengers and crew on board died.
13:45 they could be in a down draft of a thunderstorm or a micro bursts. So if they are in a nose dive speed of descent at about 5,000 fpm and give super severe downdraft ever recorded of 10,000 fpm your vary Close to the 25,000 feet lost in altitude.....
I was reminded of a situation in Arthur Hailey's Airport (the novel, I'm not sure if it's also in the movie). After Guerrero sets off his bomb in the back of the plane, there is (of course) a decompression. The captain, who had been in the back talking to Guerrero and oxygen-mask-hopped back to the deck, is aware that many passengers don't have the masks on, and decides to descend rather quickly to save their lives. I remember he mentions it's risky because the plane is structurally damaged. Unfortunately I don't remember how long it takes the plane to reach the lower altitude. I might need to read the book again.
Or they are a 737Max - 500+kts straight down. (Or a 737 with a suicidal indonesian pilot (a couple of those exceeded Mach 1 - full power vertical dive (yes the wings came off)). Suicidal pilots are why a number of airlines have a minimum of two crew in the cockpit policy, if a pilot steps out one of the cabin crew steps in.
actually some airframes have been known to go down that fast and for no apparent reason. most of you, to include 74 Gear the pilot, are VERY unfamiliar with the accident reports regarding elevator mishaps. There are so many reasons a plane will go down, and stating the wings must be missing like it is the only reason just shows all of your ignorance on the subject.
@@jamesw71 Says the armchair pilot commenting on a RUclips video. He didn't say planes don't go down, stupid. He said to descend 25,000 feet in less than a minute is almost impossible for a plane with just a hole blown in it unless it had exterior parts removed that normally would cause drag and make the plane descend slower. I understand what he said and I have absolutely no aeronautics training sooo...what's your excuse?
This guy looks EXACTLY like an older version of my buddy who watched the channel all through high school and is now repairing helicopters in the army. Great channel love the videos.
As a radio ham since 1995, your description of CPDLC makes sense. HF propagation conditions often can't support voice transmissions but digital transmissions have much better throughput. Unfortunately VHF and UHF don't work well out over the high seas without satellite relay service.
For someone like me who has a fear of flying, these videos are very helpful. It's comforting to know there are competent and knowledgeable pilots like yourself. I always think I'd be totally comfortable if I could just sit in the cockpit and speak to the pilots. ( Thanks Mohammed Atta and Co. for ruining that possibility forever). In any event, keep the videos coming!
JD I started out the same as yourself, a very very nevous flyer, the idea of being blown up or crash landing in one of these infernal metal coffins was less than appealing. But thanks to great blokes like Kelsey who go to the trouble of putting these technical videos together I've moved on from a fear of the unknown to a point now where I'm ok as a passenger and am seriously looking at flight school as I start to approach retirement.
@@ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlockplanes can get ripped apart like no tail or wings but thats like a 1 in a trillion chance but people could see that amd think there really unsafe
Well not safely anyways...60 degree dive at full throttle with the weight of a 747 might....but if your in that type of profile your not really controlling the aircraft.
@@janis317 We even don't what kind of plane is that. From outside looks like an Airbus 330. (2 engines) Could be an A340 (4 engines). But in the cockpit you can see three engines. And I think a can see a yoke not a sidestick. Like it was in a MD11 cockpit
As an aircraft environmental control system expert, your take on it misting during a rapid depress is spot on. I've been onboard during multiple rapid depresses. Sometimes depending on the humidity it'll mist so much you can't see more than a few feet in front of you.
please elaborate on the correlation between not blinking and being a good pilot. not saying he's not, I don't know him, just saying your logic is flawed. where in the pilot handbook does it say the less blinks the better? xD
@@yourpersonalspammer if someone is a professional commercial pilot and they have developed the ability to observe complex/critical visual information without blinking for long periods of time, it stands to reason that they have some degree of advantage over their peers as it relates to monitoring control panels and other visual stimuli without accruing slight but critical lapses in visual awareness due to blinking. It obviously wouldn’t make a non-pilot a great pilot, but it would certainly enhance the proficiency of a professional pilot with some degree of experience.
I worked for fed ex in the 1980's. They really took care of their customers. However I'm happy I left there ...didn't want to grow old there. U literally hit the ground running to do your delivery's on time. They paid well and I would use the service which I have several times. They even contacted me 25 years later and Gave me a huge retirement that I had no idea I was owed. Thank you uncle Fred
That is what they said about one of my crashes, I guess because of the large explosion after impact. But you never know, So there are those that comment on crashes, and those that have survived them. Not the same thing.
Turbulence gen.............. SBY No smoking sign........... ON Seat belt sign................. ON Socks and shoes sign... ON Tom Hanks............ Not in the plane Ready for push back.
@@74gear There used to be a certain code of behaviour on a plane, but this last ten years there seems to be a breed of people who think that they are sat in their own living rooms, they disrobe, take their socks off and have a full on domestic row. I used to love flying, but my last flight to Kos was a total nightmare, with a bloke behind me with the worst smelling feet ever, he fell asleep and snored the whole way there. The air steward refused to wake him and ask him to put his shoes back on whilst all the whole this sickening smell permeated through the plane. Its really unacceptable. i think the airlines need to toughen up on this selfish unacceptable behaviour, flights are not cheap and should be an enjoyable experience but these days its more a test of endurance .
Charmie Cottingley fairy Passengers are forced in groups to remove portions of their clothing before getting finger fucked by TSA, so I'm sure they feel pretty comfortable around each other by the time they take their seats on the aircraft.
Kelsey, I flew over Typhoon Haiyan in Nov 2013 from Taipei to Honolulu. Our captain said he couldn't fly around it, and man, it was a bumpy flight (barf bags all the way!) I could definitely see us deviating 200 miles off course over the entire route. It was the second worse flight of my life, after landing in a Category 3 typhoon in Japan! Damn, the Pacific is fun! She doesn't give you guys a break!
Some people today are disgusting. They have no problem with grooming themselves on public transportation and putting their sock clad feet on either the backs of chairs or chairs rests of planes and trains.
@@sidfinster9298 If someone puts their dirty, stinky feet up behind my seat and then rests it on MY arm rest, I will pour some water on their feet. this will force them to fuhk off and go change their filthy stinky socks and think twice before resting them on someone else's arm rest. its bad enough having hundreds of people squished in a tin can, we dont need it to become even worse because some people feel like they can treat it like their own personal living room...
So as an Aircraft Mechanic Ive always loved the scene where the engine is half submerged in the ocean and still running as it sinks. That’s a heck of a motor. Pratt’s if it’s MD-11 GE’s if it’s a DC-10 🤣
The cockpit and cabin area is an MD (look at the R1 door behind Chuck).. the outside view on the tarmac was an Airbus. And all FedEx aircraft have a smoke curtain on the 9G net-- unless it has a solid bulkhead there.
Well Kelsey, I guess you are my "new find" since I subscribe to many aviation RUclips channels but had for some reason missed yours. Now I'm a subscriber and a fan. Your presentations are just clean, factual, and based on experience and knowledge. You are great and I thank you.
How can anyone hate or want to be disrespectful to, Kelsey? He seems like such a nice guy, I don't get it, are people just that miserable and wanting to be mean to him in order to feel good about themselves? Thanks for everything you do, Kelsey.
@@74gear haha, or when you accidentally leave cans outside when its in the minus 30ºs with -60ºF windchills over night and you find the metal tops either bent upwards in a dome or popped completely off the can... thats some explosive soda there...
Scott Franco you're forgetting that the soda is carbonated therefor this is a perfect example of rapid decompression, it's literally a compressed gas of any state being relieved or in scientific words, decompressed. Only with a jet turbine the result is much bigger, louder and scarier
I've never been a plane person - but the more videos of yours I watch the more I think i've missed out. Excited to catch up and learn everything for the first time. It's like finding a great show that's already 4 seasons in!
Really, how stupid can you be, how insensitive- you moron. He took the time to address other people's interest - this after he works as a pilot and all you bring to the table is that he doesn't blink. What's it like being that stupid.. and that's rhetorical and when you don't know what that means, ask someone, rather anyone, smarter than you.
Since he spoke of reading through the comments a lot in this video, I just wanted to say that I didn’t notice anything strange about his appearance at all. I almost feel like that was said to deliberately hurt his feelings. He does not look blind, nor does be blink abnormally, and he comes across as efficient, focused, interesting and capable. I’ve liked and subscribed!
Okay, I watched 2:00 over again. In the beginning, he’s reading prepared text. If I were to post a video, I’d probably try to set up a teleprompter type of thing too. He’s cut out takes of himself reading, and the best ones probably involved not losing his place for an eighth of a second. After that, he blinks less often than I do, but he is blinking. I also notice that he seems tense, almost as if he’s painfully aware of the thousands of people who are eager to hear his musings on a 20-year-old Tom Hanks movie. His adrenaline/enthusiasm might have a lot to do with it. But picking on a physical trait like that, or, say, telling someone they blink too *often* can really impact a person’s self esteem for years.
My husband was an Air Force navigator on the C130s for 20 years. Later, he did the same job for Alaska Airlines. He retired way before computers aided the crew and well before mobile phones, etc. I was never afraid, never nervous no matter what was happening when flying because he always knew and could explain clearly and easily.
74 Gear I would love to be able to talk to him. His service in Vietnam, his wounds and exposure to Agent Orange, finally caught up with him on Oct. 29, 2017. He was always a brave and humble guy.
sandy roberts-anderson aww sandy im sorry for your lost, i have a cousin dealing with his health troubles from being exposed in his Vietnam days. it hurts to see them in so much pain knowing the sacrifice they made...
Susika Susika, please let him know that there is a special fund for victims of Agent Orange. Somehow, someone from VA got in touch with them about Jack, and we went through the process to get him enrolled. It made a difference.
This is so refreshingly informative and devoid of the usual "i like to hear myself talking and also need to reach an X minute threshold" youtuber bullshit. Real quality content right there. I clicked on this with the intention to just skip through it and find a few interesting bits of information, but instead you had me watching almost the whole 20 minutes.
*Caller to Delivery Center:* Yeah, my package is really late. I was thinking it was on that ill fated flight on the news? *Delivery Center:* Checking. One moment... (Learns package was on the ill fated flight.) Sir, your delivery was held up In Tennessee, due to Hurricane Hector... It should arrive day after tomorrow... *Caller:* Oh great! I was worried... *Delivery Center:* Thank you sir, have a great day!
13:50 "Planes don't go down that fast unless there's something missing . . . like wings." Laughed out loud at this. :D Love your videos, man. Keep it up and fly safe!
I’ve watched every video of yours, you never disappoint. I love your videos and thank you for finding the time to upload, I can tell that you put a lot of effort in them. Been subscribed since 5K! your channel keeps on growing :)
well Fernando thanks for being here since the beginning... I have a challenge coming to the 74 crew in a couple days called the #SingleEngineChallenge and if the 74 Crew win the challenge there is going to be some really unique videos coming!
I can't stop watching your videos. Literally made it 3 years back in your feed hahaha. I love aviation and space and find your commentary fascinating!! I'm 27 and hope one day I could muster up the courage to leap into this type of field
I draw the line at "socks off". Yuk! I always thought that only obnoxious movie-characters would do that (John Candy, anyone?). Guess I was wrong... :/
what if I have to fart...is that ok? I mean if I had Taco Bell before getting on the plane...I might need to shit once I get onboard and you cant control that stuff man.
I love the meat and potatoes technical stuff you got into with this one. I know hollywood takes a lot of liberty but sometimes they get things kinda right and you gave them credit when it was due so yes, more like that would be awesome.
agreed. Some of us are just aviation geeks. I love it, I wanted to be an airline pilot when I was a kid. Ended up joining the Navy and running nuclear reactors LOL. But at least I got to see the F14's and F18's when we mustered in the hangar bay every morning at 6:30AM. I still enjoy some flight simulator, but I admit I suck. I'm better off running nuclear reactors.
I can definitely second, as late as it is by the publishing date of this video, that as a corporate pilot if I'm in my seat I'm always strapped in. I even keep my shoulder straps on because they don't bother me. If you're an airline passenger, keep your seatbelt on.
@@jamesrally1440 I've seen flight crew deadheading on crowded aircraft taking jump seats and man that's got to suck. I mean it's undersized it's kind of an awkward shape. Wouldn't be my idea fun
We were hit by another car pulling into our driveway when I was a kid. It has been ingrained in me since then that seatbelts are first/last thing I do in transportation, and always on. Well, except my motorcycle.
After watching how you were concentrating on the clip, I wondered why some people gave this video a thumbs down. I think you are a fantastic pilot, serious when it matters and fun when required. Keep the flow, you are good at it. Now where is the thumbs up button.
Kelsey, we love your facial expressions during review, so Cool to have a legitimate 747 pilot reviewing films and incidents. Even humble RC pilots like myself learn a lot from your expertise. Plus you're 100% interesting.
Nice job bro, I’ve always been wanting to see this movie reviewed by someone like you who can actually put a more realistic tag on it! Having flown the MD-11 for a long time, I always wanted to know what you considered could possibly cause a breach into the fuselage by a “thunderstorm, or hail storm?“ I think it would’ve been important to note that not even a lightning storm or a hail storm could’ve caused a breach into the fuselage, therefore making this even more unrealistic scenario! Of course, there’s never been anything like this that’s happened to an MD11 let alone another large commercial aircraft that I know of. Keep these movie reviews coming and I thought it was very nice to know from a pilots perspective the chances of something like this actually happening.
@@idkimlikereallybored9533 some old jet aircraft have water injection on their engines to help bring power levels up on take and at low speeds but that much water would flame out that engine immediately as well as rip the engine apart. Former usaf jet mech on p&w tf33 p5 and p9 jet engines on the ec rc mc and kc 135 aircraft.
That scene was amazing. The sound, the special effects, and camera work were captivating. The wreckage after the crash was incredible with the flames and the motor running.
The engine ran too long after the crash. To begin with it would have ingested an enormous amount of water during the crash landing. That would have stopped it. Secondly pretty much everything that controls the engine is broken from the cockpit back, and most likely there's fuel not getting to the engine. Why is it running. I think they overdid that part
The one "Hollywood" part of this scene that made me laugh was when the plane hit the water. The Hanks character was standing, holding onto netting. That plane had to be going at LEAST, well over 150 mph and likely A LOT faster. So when they hit the water, his arm would have been ripped off right before he sent flying into the cockpit and killed instantly. Imagine standing up in the back of a van that hit a brick wall at only 60 mph. It would send you through the windshield and you be killed.
My thoughts exactly. Surviving a water landing in a large jet like that is a very rare thing and it ONLY has the POTENTIAL to happen when you "land" on the water like it's a runway and touch the water just right. (not plowing into it violently like in the movie). Even then you're probably going to die when one of the wings digs into the water and the plane spins apart at a minimum of 115 to 150 mph (stall speed for large jetliners). Or maybe you end up slamming into a wave in a head-on collision, which at over a hundred miles per hour = pretty much zero chance of anyone surviving, especially someone standing up and not wearing a seat belt. But at their angle of descent, they're probably going much faster than stall speed which completely removes any chance of survival. (again, especially for a doofus standing up without a seat belt).
..i guess Hanks is into being a jinx that causes crashes & somehow miraculously surviving them..to do it all again in a couple of years..even a moon shot! lmbo.
ya try to keep some random advice for people now and again hopefully people hear it and keep their shoes on for the extra 30 minutes! Thanks for watching the cast away video and sharing it James!
When the pilot is addressing the camera, I think, "what an intelligent, reasonable dude." When the pilot turns 30 degrees to his right, I think...."he looks like he's getting ready to bust someone's a$$."
Love your reviews man, I'm a student pilot so the more technical you get the more interested I become haha keep up the movie reviews they're my favorite.
sounds good Nate, thanks for being part of the 74 crew, keep an eye out for the video I am doing called the #SingleEngineChallenge if the 74 Crew win the challenge I will have some other videos that should help you during flight school.
I love the way once some dramatic situation happens in a movie, the camera is swished around rapidly so that you have no idea what is going on. This only became possible when Robert Gotschalk (Panaflex) developed the light weight movie camera. Prior to that, the huge studio cameras were on a sturdy tripod or crane, then you could see what was happening. Love your channel Kelsey. Keep it going.
Wasn't even looking for this Glad I watched it Entertaining, liked the dialogue, technical details, perfect amount of funny videos thrown in The whole video, and the way you designed it, was enjoyable 👍
Go technical, please. Your colleagues already know this stuff, but it's interesting for us armchair enthusiasts. If you dumb it down then I won't learn anything.
I third that vote. Excel spreadsheets, digital simulations, frame by frame analyzations, cross referencing with real life counterparts, second opinions from guest pilots/engineers/scientists/nasa - are all welcome. Crank up the technical to eleven, please.
When I first saw "Castaway", I was really surprised by the "highschool" rampage approach to the crisis on board the aircraft. It was literally laughable. I flew with some awfully good pilots in Vietnam and in 15 years as a civil pilot, and have never seen any pilot who would have gone full-on bonkers as these guys in "Castaways" did. Panic has no place in the cockpit.
Try being a paratrooper.. Night jump out of the side door of a C - 141 starlifter. 200mph wind, jumping out towards that big jet engine roaring right in front of you that is pouring orange fire out of it. The experience rather overwhelms the senses..
@@patrickhorvath2684 I was a loadmaster on C-141's. It was a real rush opening the door, extending the jump platform and jumping on it to secure it and deploying the wind deflector. Noise, fire it doesn't get any better
🤣 well I do blink a lot its just ends up in the edits and then when I get really focused about something I guess I don't blink 🤷♂️ promise if you see me in the airport talking I am blinking!
OMG! I commented before I read your comment on this. I had the same feeling....I don't even remember what was said for the last five minutes because my friend and I were watching his eyes for the blink.
I appreciate your debunking the emergency aspects of this movie. Your explanation will make it more likely that I will survice an air disaster. When I flew on Continental seated over the wing the flight attendent ask me if I would be be willing/able to operate the emergency exit door in an emergency. I said " If we have to act will we be getting uniion scale?"
This is fantastic. Your point of view as a professional pilot is priceless. So many Hollywood movies have embarrassingly bad aviation sequences - perhaps you could post a worst scene from all these blockbuster movies on a medley. *Snakes On a Plane* *Air Force One* and especially *Die Hard 2* come to mind. Thanks!
I really like hearing about the technical aspects when Kelsey is explaining a video, because how else would most people know?! As a GA pilot, I'm always interested in things from the airline aspect, and Kelsey is very good at explaining the finer points!
@Camaro 1968he survived but he didn't arrive anywhere close to any specified or approximate ETA. In Cast Away he arrived YEARS later than his original ETA and also not at the original intended airport destination.
Right!? Now when a FA says to put your mask on before helping someone else-it makes a lot more sense. They should just say you have 20 seconds of consciousness to comply...that would get a lot more attention.
"Cast Away" is indeed a great movie with a fantastic performance by Tom Hanks. He was not to know that 16 years later he would be starring in a movie featuring yet another plane crash (or rather, "forced water landing") in which he would portray the real-life pilot who went through it and saved 155 lives. Your technical commentary on the plane crash scene is interesting but also has some important information for air travellers in general. Knowing that you should keep footwear on during take-off and landing - and why you should - is useful. It's also good to have a clear explanation of why you must fit your own oxygen mask before assisting others with theirs - if you're conscious, you can help them; if you lose consciousness, you cannot, thus everyone may end up unconscious and less likely to survive the situation.
I hope you enjoy this more technical aviation movie scene from Cast Away. The channel is new so if you like the video give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing and joining the 74 Crew. I have some cool videos planned for the year!
Done and Done! Thanks for doing this Kelsey. I love plane crash investigations! Even though this is Hollywood, your perspectives are of huge value for those like me. I hope to see more of these in the future.
Will do, I was the first one to watch and like... I liked before watching because I knew I would love the video!
thanks for watching and sharing it Robin!!
I look forward to seeing some good videos

This scene is so realistic because it really is like you don’t know what’s going on. As if you were a passenger and you wouldn’t know what was going on. They captured that effect quite well.
Yes this is why it always worked for me
The only realistic part of the scene are the pilots not freaking out.
That’s true. I hadn’t thought of it til you said that, but I bet that’s why they didn’t bother getting the flight stuff right: it’s showing how it would look from passenger perspective. Your impression would be them shouting random words and hitting switches, even though that’s not what’s exactly really happening. Thank you.
Correct, and there were no external camera pans of a practical model or CGI aircraft to give viewers any other indication other than complete confusion. Well thought out.
Its realistic until you see the plane approaching the sea at like 400kph and Tom Hanks is standing near the cabin without any setbelt. in real life he would have literally exploded in hundreds of pieces lol

My friend John Frazier was the special effects supervisor on this film. I found it really interesting to have you critique the technical aspects of the pre-crash events. It's still one of my favorite films and even though the majority of the crash sequence in the water was CGI, John did a heck of a job in the scenes you showed. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I remember seeing the film in the theater. I had just turned 11. Genuinely thrilling and terrifying. I remember I grabbed my seat very hard. He did a great job.
@Anita Blackhawk the scene doesn't show details, it shows chaos. Who's to say the nose dive didn't happen in the last 5 seconds only?
This is one of my favorite movies ever
I know they have to embellish the visuals a bit for Hollywood drama, but I'm guessing in real life if you're over the ocean at night you would not see the waves approaching through the window. It would be pitch black. Any time I've been on a transoceanic flight there is absolutely nothing visible out the window other than stars and the moon(if it's out).
I'm better friends with John Frazier than you.
Remember with oxygen masks always take care of Tom Hanks first, then yourself, then everyone else. If tom hanks dies there's no movie.
Are you saying I put the mask on Tom Hanks, before Wilson? That's just wrong!
Ha, tom hanks is on his own if its me on the plane.
@@sodalitia Always put the mask on Wilson first!
Word has it that old Tommy Boy was playing with little girls down in the outback and got caught, then after a little time out, he was told never to come back. He had the Epstein bug for sure. That's a long trip and it's even longer with a hard on!!!
But he did take oxygen first before helping. At 9:04 he takes a few puff before giving to Tom. Then he puts on his own mask at 9:15. I'm sure he can hold breath for 10 seconds.

I liked the commercial, some years later, that parodied the movie. Chuck shows up at the ranch with the FedEx box, and the customer says "Oh, my satellite phone finally got here!"
dang it, someone beat me to it :D
Oh the irony, good observation!
That was a SNL skit where he delivered the package and finds out it had a satellite phone, GPS, fishing rod, water purifier and seeds
As a teen, I cried when Wilson floated away to that touching music. As an adult, I understand that if Chuck had come back to civilisation being best friends with a volleyball they'd throw him in an asylum.
In my life I skipped the airplane crash island survival and went straight to cast away from society
They wouldn't. They would understand the context behind that..... aka 4 year in complete isolation.

Or a phycho shoots both pilots, several passengers and flight attendants, then jams the throttles to max and then puts the plane in a vertical nose dive. That really happened. Plane left a crater after that. Was featured in an episode of Mayday called "I'm the Problem".
@Tyler Buckley Fun fact, a 747 from a Chinese airline heading for California, don't remember whether it was San Fransisco or LA off the top of my head, but they lost control and plummeted from cruising altitude of about that height down to about 5,000-10,000 feet in just a couple of minutes. Miraculously, the pilots managed to regain control seconds before crashing into the Pacific and landed the plane safely.
There was a famous plane crash in Brazil when two aircrafts collided at 37000 feet high, a small Legacy plane sheared off about half of a Boeing 737's left wing, causing the 737 to nosedive and enter an uncontrollable spin, which quickly led to an in-flight breakup. All 154 passengers and crew on board died.
@@TheUnderlost I watched the documentary on Air Disasters on Netflix. I was very shocked about it. Like what are the chances of that happening.

I was reminded of a situation in Arthur Hailey's Airport (the novel, I'm not sure if it's also in the movie). After Guerrero sets off his bomb in the back of the plane, there is (of course) a decompression. The captain, who had been in the back talking to Guerrero and oxygen-mask-hopped back to the deck, is aware that many passengers don't have the masks on, and decides to descend rather quickly to save their lives. I remember he mentions it's risky because the plane is structurally damaged. Unfortunately I don't remember how long it takes the plane to reach the lower altitude. I might need to read the book again.

Or they are a 737Max - 500+kts straight down. (Or a 737 with a suicidal indonesian pilot (a couple of those exceeded Mach 1 - full power vertical dive (yes the wings came off)).
Suicidal pilots are why a number of airlines have a minimum of two crew in the cockpit policy, if a pilot steps out one of the cabin crew steps in.
actually some airframes have been known to go down that fast and for no apparent reason. most of you, to include 74 Gear the pilot, are VERY unfamiliar with the accident reports regarding elevator mishaps. There are so many reasons a plane will go down, and stating the wings must be missing like it is the only reason just shows all of your ignorance on the subject.
@@jamesw71 Says the armchair pilot commenting on a RUclips video. He didn't say planes don't go down, stupid. He said to descend 25,000 feet in less than a minute is almost impossible for a plane with just a hole blown in it unless it had exterior parts removed that normally would cause drag and make the plane descend slower. I understand what he said and I have absolutely no aeronautics training sooo...what's your excuse?

That “ain’t nobody got time for that” clip KILLED me haha, loved it.
For someone like me who has a fear of flying, these videos are very helpful. It's comforting to know there are competent and knowledgeable pilots like yourself. I always think I'd be totally comfortable if I could just sit in the cockpit and speak to the pilots. ( Thanks Mohammed Atta and Co. for ruining that possibility forever). In any event, keep the videos coming!
JD I started out the same as yourself, a very very nevous flyer, the idea of being blown up or crash landing in one of these infernal metal coffins was less than appealing. But thanks to great blokes like Kelsey who go to the trouble of putting these technical videos together I've moved on from a fear of the unknown to a point now where I'm ok as a passenger and am seriously looking at flight school as I start to approach retirement.

Man this guy is impressive! He’s so intense he doesn’t even blink I would definitely let him fly me on my next vacation
please elaborate on the correlation between not blinking and being a good pilot. not saying he's not, I don't know him, just saying your logic is flawed. where in the pilot handbook does it say the less blinks the better? xD
@@yourpersonalspammer if someone is a professional commercial pilot and they have developed the ability to observe complex/critical visual information without blinking for long periods of time, it stands to reason that they have some degree of advantage over their peers as it relates to monitoring control panels and other visual stimuli without accruing slight but critical lapses in visual awareness due to blinking. It obviously wouldn’t make a non-pilot a great pilot, but it would certainly enhance the proficiency of a professional pilot with some degree of experience.

darren stettner his focus is impressive
Really, how stupid can you be, how insensitive- you moron. He took the time to address other people's interest - this after he works as a pilot and all you bring to the table is that he doesn't blink. What's it like being that stupid.. and that's rhetorical and when you don't know what that means, ask someone, rather anyone, smarter than you.
Since he spoke of reading through the comments a lot in this video, I just wanted to say that I didn’t notice anything strange about his appearance at all. I almost feel like that was said to deliberately hurt his feelings. He does not look blind, nor does be blink abnormally, and he comes across as efficient, focused, interesting and capable. I’ve liked and subscribed!
Okay, I watched 2:00 over again. In the beginning, he’s reading prepared text. If I were to post a video, I’d probably try to set up a teleprompter type of thing too. He’s cut out takes of himself reading, and the best ones probably involved not losing his place for an eighth of a second. After that, he blinks less often than I do, but he is blinking. I also notice that he seems tense, almost as if he’s painfully aware of the thousands of people who are eager to hear his musings on a 20-year-old Tom Hanks movie. His adrenaline/enthusiasm might have a lot to do with it. But picking on a physical trait like that, or, say, telling someone they blink too *often* can really impact a person’s self esteem for years.

Nice job bro, I’ve always been wanting to see this movie reviewed by someone like you who can actually put a more realistic tag on it! Having flown the MD-11 for a long time, I always wanted to know what you considered could possibly cause a breach into the fuselage by a “thunderstorm, or hail storm?“ I think it would’ve been important to note that not even a lightning storm or a hail storm could’ve caused a breach into the fuselage, therefore making this even more unrealistic scenario! Of course, there’s never been anything like this that’s happened to an MD11 let alone another large commercial aircraft that I know of. Keep these movie reviews coming and I thought it was very nice to know from a pilots perspective the chances of something like this actually happening.

That scene was amazing. The sound, the special effects, and camera work were captivating. The wreckage after the crash was incredible with the flames and the motor running.
The engine ran too long after the crash. To begin with it would have ingested an enormous amount of water during the crash landing. That would have stopped it. Secondly pretty much everything that controls the engine is broken from the cockpit back, and most likely there's fuel not getting to the engine. Why is it running. I think they overdid that part
It should absolutely not have been running. It’s ridiculous.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer Yeah technically it shouldn’t have been working but it sure made for an intense scene. That’s Hollywood for ya!
@@dianthis it detracted from the scene for me
The one "Hollywood" part of this scene that made me laugh was when the plane hit the water. The Hanks character was standing, holding onto netting. That plane had to be going at LEAST, well over 150 mph and likely A LOT faster. So when they hit the water, his arm would have been ripped off right before he sent flying into the cockpit and killed instantly. Imagine standing up in the back of a van that hit a brick wall at only 60 mph. It would send you through the windshield and you be killed.

@@davidferguson8800- Oh, looks like you're one of them "readers." lol
My thoughts exactly. Surviving a water landing in a large jet like that is a very rare thing and it ONLY has the POTENTIAL to happen when you "land" on the water like it's a runway and touch the water just right. (not plowing into it violently like in the movie).
Even then you're probably going to die when one of the wings digs into the water and the plane spins apart at a minimum of 115 to 150 mph (stall speed for large jetliners). Or maybe you end up slamming into a wave in a head-on collision, which at over a hundred miles per hour = pretty much zero chance of anyone surviving, especially someone standing up and not wearing a seat belt.
But at their angle of descent, they're probably going much faster than stall speed which completely removes any chance of survival. (again, especially for a doofus standing up without a seat belt).
..i guess Hanks is into being a jinx that causes crashes & somehow miraculously surviving them..to do it all again in a couple of years..even a moon shot! lmbo.
in addition, inertia works the other way around for him, he goes backwards with the crash instead of forward
That was solid advice about taking off your shoes.
Thanks.
ya try to keep some random advice for people now and again hopefully people hear it and keep their shoes on for the extra 30 minutes! Thanks for watching the cast away video and sharing it James!
A reminder to wear non-flammable clothing wouldn't go amiss either.
Not only about taking off shoes, but I always tell me sweetie, never high heels on an aircraft.
Hope it would convince those for whom "they stink" is not a powerful enough reason not to do it :D
But how will you make fists with your toes?
When the pilot is addressing the camera, I think, "what an intelligent, reasonable dude." When the pilot turns 30 degrees to his right, I think...."he looks like he's getting ready to bust someone's a$$."
Ya I got that resting murder face down for sure 😂
@@74gear nah, it's intensity and focus, both crucial qualities a pilot should have!
Lol- resting murder face!
Yeah... it's like a lion on a three day fast looking at a herd that's roughly 400 yards out.
@@74gear when you look the videos your face is like the mercury droid of terminator 😀 it is great, do not change it.
Love your reviews man, I'm a student pilot so the more technical you get the more interested I become haha keep up the movie reviews they're my favorite.
sounds good Nate, thanks for being part of the 74 crew, keep an eye out for the video I am doing called the #SingleEngineChallenge if the 74 Crew win the challenge I will have some other videos that should help you during flight school.
Just in case nobody said it, ... "WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

“IM SORRY WILSON!!!”

I’ll be real honest here that scene made me cry😅
Willson im sorry
"Higher HF frequency"
Ah yes the "higher high frequency frequency"
yes like VHF.. the Very High Frequency.. or maybe UHF.. The Ultra High Frequency.. Or SHF ? The Super High Frequency. Oh but thats wifi!
@@on4sax You forgot the SDHF... the Super Duper High Frequency... that is used only in Trump's private jets.
@@philippschmitz1787 Warp Speed frequency!
@@mobilfone2234 Ah, yea... operation warp speed... or the biggest over exaggerated name for a government operation ever.
@@philippschmitz1787 the word of the year R.G. "I 'm exaggerating a little bit..."
I love the way once some dramatic situation happens in a movie, the camera is swished around rapidly so that you have no idea what is going on. This only became possible when Robert Gotschalk (Panaflex) developed the light weight movie camera. Prior to that, the huge studio cameras were on a sturdy tripod or crane, then you could see what was happening.
Love your channel Kelsey. Keep it going.
Wasn't even looking for this
Glad I watched it
Entertaining, liked the dialogue, technical details, perfect amount of funny videos thrown in
The whole video, and the way you designed it, was enjoyable
👍
Love the video content! They've really helped me out in thinking/planning career change possibility from teaching. Keep up the awesome work!
big change, but I am glad you are enjoying it James, thanks so much for watching and sharing!
Love the aviation aspects explained as you do. Please keep up the good work!
I can't watch 99% of Hollywood movies, never could. RUclips videos like yours are great to watch, no clichés or unbelievable events.
I can't believe you didn't comment on his sweater, the worst disaster of the film.
lol! i was thinking the same!!😅😅😅
BariumCobaltNitrog3n lol I was thinking the same thing
It's an Icelandic sweater. Must have a FedEx station in Reykjavik.
I had the same sweater in the 70's , even the same colors. I only wore it once or twice. Never thought it would end up in the movies.
That's movie producer's master piece.
Go technical, please. Your colleagues already know this stuff, but it's interesting for us armchair enthusiasts. If you dumb it down then I won't learn anything.
sounds good, glad you liked it then Murray.
@@74gear Just a second on that vote. I love hearing the details like the cargo latches and the "ditch switch" etc.
Agreed
I third that vote.
Excel spreadsheets, digital simulations, frame by frame analyzations, cross referencing with real life counterparts, second opinions from guest pilots/engineers/scientists/nasa - are all welcome.
Crank up the technical to eleven, please.
Right on
When I first saw "Castaway", I was really surprised by the "highschool" rampage approach to the crisis on board the aircraft. It was literally laughable. I flew with some awfully good pilots in Vietnam and in 15 years as a civil pilot, and have never seen any pilot who would have gone full-on bonkers as these guys in "Castaways" did. Panic has no place in the cockpit.
The scene that was cut
Show the India dude fireing up a dubbie ....(joint)
@@007more7 Dooby. : D
ACADMan I felt the same way about the copilot in the film Flight.
In vietnam? Like dropping bombs on people?
LG2017 Jdirjdkfo no dropping puppies on people bud.
Just Subscribed.. Aspiring pilot. Love your channel. My first RUclips comment.
People say you aren’t a real pilot? I’m an A&P, 40 years. It’s appears to me you are a pilot because you know things…
Went to this movie as a first date with the woman that would be my wife of 19 years (and counting). Ditching switch OFF.
Me too...but she married someone else. But that's ok...she's still in love with me
@@JulietsMan she's cheating on the man she married? That's retarded
I went to my last date ever with my girlfriend to see this movie.. no kidding.. never dated her again after 2 years.. crazy
What a wonderful story. Very happy for you. God bless. ❤️❤️
Well played Sir! Best to you both!
Pilot grabs mic, "Breaker 1-9, you got a copy on Fed-Ex Heavy? Come on."
The sound of the plane engines were engrossing. I never forgot that sound..
Try being a paratrooper..
Night jump out of the side door of a C - 141 starlifter. 200mph wind, jumping out towards that big jet engine roaring right in front of you that is pouring orange fire out of it. The experience rather overwhelms the senses..
@@patrickhorvath2684 I was a loadmaster on C-141's.
It was a real rush opening the door, extending the jump platform and jumping on it to secure it and deploying the wind deflector. Noise, fire it doesn't get any better
@@thomashelm6931 what a loadmaster
Blink Kelsey, blink, feel like you starring into my soul 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing!
🤣 well I do blink a lot its just ends up in the edits and then when I get really focused about something I guess I don't blink 🤷♂️ promise if you see me in the airport talking I am blinking!
OMG! I commented before I read your comment on this. I had the same feeling....I don't even remember what was said for the last five minutes because my friend and I were watching his eyes for the blink.
Well, he’s a ginger so he has no soul. He’s trying to steal yours.
Hey MAAA! There's a strange cat in the garden.
I appreciate your debunking the emergency aspects of this movie. Your explanation will make it more likely that I will survice an air disaster. When I flew on Continental seated over the wing the flight attendent ask me if I would be be willing/able to operate the emergency exit door in an emergency. I said " If we have to act will we be getting uniion scale?"
This is fantastic. Your point of view as a professional pilot is priceless. So many Hollywood movies have embarrassingly bad aviation sequences - perhaps you could post a worst scene from all these blockbuster movies on a medley.
*Snakes On a Plane* *Air Force One* and especially *Die Hard 2* come to mind. Thanks!
Some of those are on the list... others aren't but love the positivity on your comments so thank you!
I really like hearing about the technical aspects when Kelsey is explaining a video, because how else would most people know?! As a GA pilot, I'm always interested in things from the airline aspect, and Kelsey is very good at explaining the finer points!
Yes, I agree. He seems like a very amiable knowledgeable fellow!
“Keep the blue side up”
What an excellent motto
Tom Hanks is the king of Travel failure disaster movies.
@Camaro 1968he survived but he didn't arrive anywhere close to any specified or approximate ETA. In Cast Away he arrived YEARS later than his original ETA and also not at the original intended airport destination.
Before: Put on your oxygen mask
Now: Put on your oxygen mask. You have 20 seconds to comply
Right!? Now when a FA says to put your mask on before helping someone else-it makes a lot more sense. They should just say you have 20 seconds of consciousness to comply...that would get a lot more attention.
@@stellaproductions1493 Exactly. The 20 seconds will capture people's attention.
"Cast Away" is indeed a great movie with a fantastic performance by Tom Hanks. He was not to know that 16 years later he would be starring in a movie featuring yet another plane crash (or rather, "forced water landing") in which he would portray the real-life pilot who went through it and saved 155 lives.
Your technical commentary on the plane crash scene is interesting but also has some important information for air travellers in general. Knowing that you should keep footwear on during take-off and landing - and why you should - is useful. It's also good to have a clear explanation of why you must fit your own oxygen mask before assisting others with theirs - if you're conscious, you can help them; if you lose consciousness, you cannot, thus everyone may end up unconscious and less likely to survive the situation.
Everyone in the theatre is screaming... he’s quietly analyzing with the slightest smirk.
