TikTok roast the explosion would rip a hole in the plane causing an explosive decompression which
basically means that the pressure difference whirling at your body could actually rip you apart
coming up
hey 74 crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is kelsey i'm a 747 pilot
my channel 74 gear is all about aviation i want to thank all of you in the 74 crew for tagging me in
different tick tocks that people put out that's full of misinformation or asking me if something
is true or sending it to me on my instagram i appreciate all of you this video had so much
bad information in it that i decided instead of putting it in with a bunch of other videos
i would give it its own special video let's get into it if you like to know every fact about the
things that you fear then this video is for you if you're in a crashing plane you won't be informed
unless a pilot performs a controlled crash landing they will not have time to tell you that you're
about to die and that's probably for the best it is true that during an emergency the priority that
every pilot is going to have is first to fly the plane and deal with getting the aircraft worked
out and level and dealing with the emergency however jade next time you're on a flight you
can make a special request that the pilots don't fly the plane and don't worry about navigating or
anything like that and they can just immediately call back to the cabin and let everybody in the
back of the plane know what's going on until that time happens though the priority will always be
aviate navigate and then communicate meaning we want to fly the plane first make sure that the
wings are level and that it's going in a good direction that's navigating because
it doesn't matter if you're flying and your wings are level and your plane is climbing or
holding an altitude if you fly into a mountain so makes no sense to not be dealing with that next
and then the last thing that you're going to do is communicate and typically that's going to be to
air traffic control letting them know what's going on so they can get you back around to an airport
then after all of those things are worked out then there might be a message back to the passengers
i know you might be thinking well well i'm going to be back in the back and i'm going to be scared
that's true you might be scared but better to have been scared for a little bit than dead
so when she says this if you're in a crashing plane you won't be informed
it is true but it's very misleading if you saw the hollywood versus reality that i did on sully
you'll notice that he was busy talking with the first officer jeff and they were working on flying
the plane figuring out where the plane was going to go and all of that stuff and they were ignoring
some of the air traffic control radio calls they only made one call to the cabin crew and that was
brace for impact or prefer for impact or whatever it was that he said so that was the only call
that got pushed back into the back of the cabin because the priority was getting the plane to be
flying trying to restart the engines figuring out where the plane was going to go that was
the priority of what was going on and when air traffic control was asking them some different
things they just worried about flying the plane first and navigating where they were going to go
so then she says this unless a pilot performs a controlled crash landing they will not have
time to tell you that you're about to die and that's probably for the best reality is that
there's never going to be a situation that any pilot or any good pilot at least that if they're
going to give up and to say oh never mind we're going to crash you're all going to die that's not
what's going to happen the pilots are going to be fighting and trying to fix the problem regardless
of what the situation is because at the end of the day self-preservation is pretty much every human's
natural gut instinct so the pilots and all of our training is going to be trying to
work out different problems and that's to save ourselves but also everyone that's on the plane
so her saying that we're not going to make that announcement that you're going to die
that is obvious because that is not something that a pilot is going to say oh no that's it
we're dead we're going to die no they're going to be always fighting and there's a lot of different
cases i can go over where the pilots actually fly the plane or try to fight with the plane to get it
back onto the ground safely and in some cases it worked and in some cases it didn't work but the
pilots are always going to be giving their maximum effort to get the plane safely on the ground again
that's always going to be a case i've read a lot of reports on different crash investigations and
the reason behind that is because i want to learn what the pilots did well and what they didn't do
well i can learn from the mistakes that they made so i can hopefully avoid those if i ever end up in
a similar situation so i read a lot of those and learn from the things they did well and what they
didn't do well i've never read in any report that i've ever seen i've never read where the pilots
have something go wrong and they just go oh that's it we're gonna die no big deal
unless it was just something that was imminent there are some cases where they had messed up some
things and this was way back in the day like 80s 90s things like that where they didn't have the
technology that we have now with ground proximity warning systems and things like that where they've
messed some things up and they're about to hit the mountain or something like that where the pilots
just say uh-oh like they know that it's over at that point but typically speaking when i'm looking
at these reports there are rarely ever cases where the pilots mess something up or something goes
wrong on the plane and they just go oh oh well we're dead that's not how pilots are built i know
when i'm walking onto a 747 that's full of 400 or so passengers i know the responsibility that i'm
going to have and i take that very seriously and i'm going to fly the plane and always do the very
best that i can in every flight that i'm going to do however she was right on this particular point
here if you like to know every fact about the things that you fear then this video is for you
i think it's very true that if you are scared about something it's good to research it and
learn about it and understand it and that's why i like doing different radio interviews or tv
interviews and not all of them make it onto my channel but i do a lot of those because i like
to answer questions that people have because a lot of times if people are scared or they don't
know they don't really have someone to go to so when i go do these different radio interviews a
lot of times i don't know what they're going to ask me about i'm just kind of answering off the
cuff as people ask me different things and i like giving that information because it's it's real
real questions that your everyday person would have who could be scared or could
have a question or a concern or something about aviation so i like doing that however
people like jade and some people in the media like to sensationalize things and show burning
crashing blowing up and things like that and make it seem so dangerous and they do that because
it gets a reaction when you're doing death and destruction people get clicks and they get views
and that's why they do that so that's why jade is doing this let's see what other scary facts jade
has for us if you're playing nose dives you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you will not
remain conscious but right before things go black you might experience a sense of weightlessness
objects around you and your arms will just hover as if in space once the plane actually makes
impact in all likelihood it will be over before it began the g-force can be that of around 12
times of gravity which would shatter your bones and destroy your organs but it's unlikely that
you would feel any of it i'm not sure what jade is considering a nosedive but i have heard of
and seen a lot of different commercial pilots where they have to do a very steep or rapid decent
a lot of the times if that happens don't be concerned or alarmed what's happening is air
traffic control is asking them to get down to a lower level or lower altitude very quickly
so what they'll do is they'll put those things out on the wings they're called speed brakes and the
wings go up and then the nose of the plane will go down very quickly that's nothing to be alarmed
of so when she says this if you're playing nose dives you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing
that you will not remain conscious it literally makes no sense and we have a term called being
slammed dunked in the airlines and that's usually when you're coming into an airport and they're
keeping you at a high altitude for whatever reason there could be traffic below or who knows what but
they keep you at that very high altitude and then they want to get down very quickly or they want
you to get down and slow down very quickly and that's not what jets are really designed to do
so we have to do things to slow down and to get down quickly and that's called being slam dunk
there's nothing risky or dangerous i have done it many times i have yet to fall unconscious once or
have any of my passengers go unconscious once and i've done some very steep descents but this part
was really funny right before things go black you might experience a sense of weightlessness that
only happens if your pilots were to do a maneuver that resulted in a negative g-force so you hear
about g-forces with fighter pilots and they might have 10 or 12 g's and that's that weight of their
body that's pushing them into their seat if you were to have a negative version of that you would
start floating like you're in space and every commercial aircraft that i've ever read the manual
for doesn't allow you to do a negative g maneuver it doesn't allow you to nose the plane over so the
way that you would do that or the way that i've seen people do that sometimes in flight school and
i'm not endorsing this and i of course would never do that but if you were climbing on your plane and
you were climbing to an altitude and while you were climbing up you push rapidly over and you
nose the plane over while the momentum of your aircraft is going up you can create a negative
g and everything in the plane will start floating however if you're flying on a normal aircraft and
the pilots decide to rapidly descend like being slam dunk like i talked about earlier you will not
see everything in the cabin just start flying up in the air like it's in space however she did get
this part right the g-force can be that of around 12 times of gravity which would shatter your bones
and destroy your organs but it's unlikely that you would feel any of it if you're playing nose
dives into the ground there will be a lot of g-forces there but that's not really the main
problem that's going to be an issue it's going to be the fact that you got pancaked into the ground
that's going to be the issue not the g-forces another scenario i want to give you is imagine you
jump in your uber driver so you're riding along in this prius sorry uber drivers but you're riding
along in this prius and the prius jumps off of a bridge and then goes off of this bridge and then
falls a few hundred feet into the river and it's like if the ground and the impact doesn't kill you
the water will and you'll start drowning the truth is that the g-forces don't really matter if you
are in a car and the driver at 100 miles an hour drives directly into a wall or they drive off of a
bridge and fall a few hundred feet the g-forces are pretty much irrelevant so the question becomes
is do you feel uncomfortable that you got into a car with somebody that you don't know that maybe
paid 16 in order to have the right to drive you around or do you want to get into an aircraft
where an airline has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on two different people to safely
transport you with people on the ground that are watching that plane to make sure that there is
nothing that happens and there's a whole bunch of people a whole team that is behind everybody that
is on that plane to safely get it onto the ground so you see jade is taking something here and this
dramatic pictures that she's using to make it seem very very scary that you're getting into a
plane yet you do something maybe every day getting into an uber getting into a lift or getting into
a car and riding as a passenger or getting into a car and realizing that there are a bunch of other
cars around you that you have no control over and you're gonna drive down the road every day
but using all these pictures and the way that she's talking she's making it seem like a very
scary thing and before you think oh well of course this pilot says this because he wants people to
fly because that's where he makes his money 98 of all my flying is cargo so it really doesn't
make any difference to me whether you fly on my plane or not and when i am flying passengers it's
usually professional sports teams which they have to get on the plane if they want to get paid or
it's the military which they also have to get on the plane if they want to get paid and they don't
really have an option either way so it doesn't matter to me if she says these things to scare
people and you decide oh i don't want to fly i want to drive it makes no difference to my life
but i just think it's irresponsible for someone to get out and put all this misinformation out there
let's see what she says next if your plane explodes you will be dead before the crash
the explosion would rip a hole in the plane causing an explosive decompression which basically
means that the pressure difference whirling at your body could actually rip you apart um did she
just say that an explosive decompression will rip your body apart basically means that the pressure
difference whirling at your body could actually rip you apart so jade unfortunately that's really
not how that works what happens if you have an explosive decompression what will happen is
your ears will pop it will get very loud it will get very cold it could get very misty in the plane
oxygen masks are going to fall you will probably hear your engines go to idle your nose will
your plane will pitch over aggressively not in that free fall state that you talked about
earlier but it will go down very quickly and that's so that the pilots can get the plane to
an altitude where everybody can breathe so those are some things that will go on your body will not
rip apart because we're not flying around in space uh if you were to climb mount everest you'd get to
almost thirty thousand feet and that means under jade's mythical space rules uh at thirty thousand
feet your body would explode because that is the altitude that the plane will pressurize to
if the plane was flying at 30 thousand feet there are multiple examples of planes having explosive
decompressions and everybody on the plane or most everybody on the plane living and the
people that didn't live it's not because their body ripped apart like jade is explaining here
the biggest risk that you'll have during an explosive decompression is actually your pilots
up front getting their oxygen mask on that doesn't mean that you as a passenger if you fail to get
your oxygen mask on right away it doesn't mean like oh you're going to die no the reason that we
as pilots need to get our mask on quickly is because there's less and less useful consciousness
as you go higher and higher so at thirty thousand feet you might have a certain amount of seconds of
useful consciousness and at forty thousand feet you're going to have a lot less it gets down to
a couple of seconds as you get really really high and you have to keep in mind that during explosive
decompression there's going to be a couple seconds of confusion what's happening what's going on
because everything that you're experiencing on the back we're experiencing upfront as well so getting
our mask on as quickly as possible is the really the highest risk and that's why there's two pilots
up there one might get it on and one might not so once we get our mask on what we're going to be
doing is nosing the plane over as fast as we can to get to 10 000 feet safely so that way for those
of you who did not get your mask on you will start breathing again normally it doesn't mean that if
you don't get your mask on that you're going to die no you might pass out but you will not die so
we'll get to 10 000 feet or whatever safe altitude as quickly as we can and that will allow for you
to start breathing whether you got your oxygen mask on on time or not or you passed out so that's
what's going to happen there that doesn't mean that once we get to 10 000 feet that everything's
fine there's a good chance that some of you will need to change your shorts once we get there you
will lose your vision followed by your sense of clarity and finally all consciousness once in a
free fall so in all honesty it sounds horrific but it would be relatively painless and fast
okay so you said something else that is true if you didn't get your mask on in time you could have
this you will lose your vision followed by your sense of clarity and finally all consciousness
there is a term called hypoxia and that term what it means is basically your body isn't
getting enough oxygen and at 30 000 feet or higher you're there's not a lot of oxygen up there and so
in that event that you're not getting enough oxygen your body will go hypoxic and with being in
hypoxia what happens is there is a it's different for every pilot by the way or every person
everybody's going to have different reactions to hypoxia but one of those can be that you
can be euphoric or feel like everything is fine even though you're in a very dangerous situation
so that is true and you could go unconscious because you're not getting enough oxygen so
what she's saying is true but she's just saying it in a weird way there are some aircraft that
during an explosive decompression what will happen with the autopilot on is that the plane
will actually pull the throttles all the way back turn onto its side and then descend rapidly to 10
000 or a safe altitude but they'll descend rapidly to that altitude in the event that the pilots
didn't get their mask on in time so there are planes that have things set up in place that in
the event that something were to happen explosive decompression because people were disoriented that
they rapidly get down to a safe altitude and then the pilots can regain consciousness again and get
out of that hypoxic state so it is true that you can lose your consciousness and feel okay
those things that she's saying is true but for different reasons than what she's saying but in
this final part of the clip where she says this so in all honesty it sounds horrific but it would be
relatively painless and fast just because a plane has an explosive decompression doesn't mean that
everybody in the plane is now getting ejected from the plane or the bodies are breaking apart none of
that is true it is true planes do crash yes and so do cars but it doesn't mean that you can live
your whole life in a bunker growing your own food never going outside and being as pasty white as me
however if you want to see what hollywood thinks about explosive decompressions
and surprise spoiler alert they don't know how it happens either check out this video here and if
you want to see some other tick talkers who know nothing about aviation just like our friend jade
here but yet give all kinds of information that is also incorrect check out this video
up here i look forward to hearing from you until then keep the blue side up
