    No reason for the re upload in the description?

    Is this a re-upload? I feel like I just watched this a few days ago. Was this an animated adventure first or something? That doesn't seem right.

      My guess is that someone became aware of a tiny error in the video and as such it was fixed and reuploaded

    Another reason, as you elude to around 0:20 , even if cell phones had absolutely no affect on airplanes, the FCC would still push to have cell phones regulated due to the havoc it causes to the cellular network; attempting to send signals to the wrong towers or during the wrong time slots effectively jams other people's devices.

      This is the real reason why everybody must turn on 'Airplane Mode' while they're on a flight. Is not about interference, it's about not jamming the cellular networks on the ground.

    About the 5G thing, usa is using band n77, which is the a part of the c-band as you mentioned. But most other countries use band n78 (a subset of cband) which is 3.3-3.80ghz so not as dangerously close as the n77 used in USA, Hence why it's less of a potential issue overseas. Also you are correct that the USA's c-band/n77, is in practice, limited to 3.98ghz, but the problem is that the standard n77 defines its range as 3.3 to 4.2ghz, the US telecoms are arbitrary avoiding deploying freq higher than 3.98, kinda like a gentleman agreement, even though the equipment (towers and phones) CAN operate at 3.3 to 4.2ghz and this is exactly why the aviation authorities are worried.

    So basically, there's zero credible evidence that phone signals could cause a plane crash. Just superstitious anecdotes. If you can use WiFi safely on a plane, which you should remember, comes in 2.4 and 5ghz modes, you can use cell. The issue is you're way too high to use it. Personally I'm just annoyed that they don't like to allow Bluetooth.
