Things the Airline Doesn’t Tell You

15 minutes supply of oxygen for passengers is mainly to allow the pilots enough time to descend to altitude with breathable air.

4:43 this is because the pilots immediately start decent to a safe breathing altitude if depressurization occurs. The 15 minute supply is only needed for a couple minutes while the plane descends

The thing about not being declared dead until landing also allegedly applies to Disneyland. Rumor has it that when transporting a patient from Disney property to the hospital, paramedics are instructed not to declare them dead until off Disney property.

Why don't they replace airplanes with trains? Safer, cheaper, and eco friendly.

Oxygen mask only works for 15 minutes!

Once the plane gets down to 10,000 ft. air becomes breathable again, (at which point you can open a window 😂) !

Well think of it this way, if you run out of oxygen, you're screwed; if the pilot runs out of oxygen, everyone's screwed. Plus 15 minutes is plenty of time for the pilot to make an emergency descent down to 10,000 feet where there's enough oxygen to breathe.

0:44 is that liam gallagher

3:43 the lights are also dimmed so that the fire services can see if there's a fire and where it is. That's why the lights are dimmed, and the curtains are opened.

The oxygen masks one is a bit interesting. The idea is that should a decompression occur the pilots will enter a steep dive until they reach about 10,000 feet (where the air is dense enough to breath), which will never take more than 15 minutes. There is a few rare occasions where this hasn’t happen though. Helios flight 522 is the most famous example of this. The pilots were unaware the aircraft had become depressurised, and ended up losing consciousness. The masks in the passenger area did drop, but after 15 minutes they ran out, the plane however stayed at the higher altitude for several hours. Everyone on the plane ended up losing consciousness, apart from one member of the cabin crew (in the end the jet ran out of fuel, and crashed into a hillside without any survivors. Most, if not all people on the plane were actually still alive when it crashed)

Another thing with lightning is that when there is a thunder strike in/near an airport, it declares a “red alert” which makes it so that every vehicle and stuff has to be immobilized until the red alert is deactivated.
This includes any vehicle from bagage transport to fuel to others, people boarding a plane or disembarking it (even if you’re already at gate), moving the plane around the taxi ways and any landing or takeoffs (im looking at u Final Destination, boarding the plane AND taking off during a thunderstorm? Really? That AND “breaking” a 747 is just no.)

I once was stuck in an airport for 2 hours even if the plane was at the gate because there were thunder strikes near and then just a severe thunderstorm for the next while.
It doesn’t matter how much the karens complain, the employees cant change the weather.

You give the airline 48-72 hours to return your luggage from when you land. Small print

Did the dude struck by lightning die?

15 mins is more then enough time to lower the plane to a lower breathable altitude

As a smoker who is trying and actively quitting, when I heard that first fact I suddenly envisioned my last 3 hour flight as a serious chainsmoker. My thiughts went to telling my Dad I'm going for a smoke in the jon, for him to say I'm gonna get in trouble. I pause for a moment and say, "what are they gonna do? Throw me off the plane?" 🤣 I'd never do it even when I was a chain-smoker. Shit just popped in my head and made me laugh.

should i be terrified? i havent been on a plane before

Yay this was uploaded on my bday

They should make air trains

On the very last frames of this episode he says "I'll do it one more time" and he has a perfect American accent for one sentence 😂

Thanks. That's very reassuring.

If you hear the pilot say “flight attendants return to your seats and begin commands” that’s a sign the flight is going to land and it may be a rough landing. When the plane lands and comes to a stop and the pilot says “easy victor” over the intercom that’s the sign that the aircraft is going to be evacuated. After the flight attendants hear “easy victor”, they will start commanding passengers to “release your seatbelts! Release your seatbelts! Release your seatbelts!” Repeatedly while checking the nearest door or emergency exit for safety. When the flight attendant then opens the door or exit, they will command “stay back!” Repeatedly while ensuring the slide is deployed and the exit is safe. If the exit is safe, the flight attendant will then start commanding “come this way! Leave everything!” While then adding “sit and slide! Legs first!” If the emergency slide is used. If the overwing exit is used, the flight attendant will add “step out legs first!” And they will have a ABP (Able Body Passenger) help direct fellow passengers down the overwing slides or flaps. If the exit or door is blocked, the flight attendant will order “exit blocked! Go forward/back!” (Depending on where the blocked exit is located on the aircraft) and will then order the attendants at the other exits to assist in the evacuation of their passengers with the group your are in as well. I know this because I watch old Northwest Airlines training films. And all airlines have to train their flight attendants like this.

There are quite more things they won't tell you, and I don't think I can write them here as well for safety reasons.

4:06 i saw something similar a year ago, a lighting struck an electricity pole like 20 feet in front of us, the street lights flashed twice and everything went dark, it was scary, but something AMAZING

Personally, I would prefer to sit next to a dead person than an obnoxious, loud mouth, obese entitled Karen. Give me a corpse and a window seat any day

On a L O N G flight once, myself and a fellow smoker would take turns going in the bathroom and lighting up, taking one hard hit, then throwing the cig in the toilet while flushing and blowing the smoke down the ap. Foolish thing to do, but no more foolish than smoking the things in the first place. I quit years ago.
