Absolutely no problem at all you are welcome 👍😊

Occasionally. Not often though. Why?

We didn't film the video with the intent to upload it to KZbin. We uploaded it as an experiment to see what would happen! If it were a video that was planned out then we would have probably used a camera and, of course, it would be in landscape. Portrait mode is the easiest on a phone

What were you expecting?

It was what I was expecting lol

@@leomacherla they don’t carry enough fuel to return all that way. Common procedure is the amount treat need for the flight plus 10% for diversion/Holding at there destination.

@@markdowney1340 Yes under normal circumstances I know they would. However, I wonder if they would have carried extra for this flight because of the weather conditions on that day. The aircraft would most probably be the most useful back in Keflavik for Icelandair and they don't need to worry so much about sorting out transfer for passengers from a potential diversion airport to Heathrow. They can just fly the passengers back out from Keflavik. Of course, I might be wrong. It's just what my immediate thoughts are

Nah imma thank you right now

We weren't questioning their decisions. We were just having a conversation haha

So glad someone else feels this way! I found their constant, nerve laced, chatter, most irritating. Lol

I completely agree. Of course, a lightning strike is not ideal but I would feel much safer on an aircraft than on, for example, a ship. There is also more time to react to situations and the crew brief go arounds and diversions so it would not be a 'Oh no what are we going to do?! Panic!' moment

Please get us down. We've been on this plane for 3 weeks. I want to phone home...... Please!!!!!!

They're definitely not pilots

I am a plane driver

How come?

Lol, I know! Incessant inane chatter with a constant running commentary. I'd be putting my ear plugs in at this point.

​@@indianairlines Haha they're just having a chat

Think I’d rather have crying kids than her voice all flight 😂

I’m quite the opposite as a nervous flyer they would calm me down.

@Lea Thomas it seemed like a very logical option. The aircraft would be much more useful back in Keflavik, It would cause less hassle for the passengers, and the weather would have been considerably better

@@leomacherla Or just idk... land

@@angus_m Yes of course. But we were wondering what the pilots decision would be if they weren't able to

@Leo Macherla would probably try a different airport where the runways are facing a different way, or fly up to Scotland.

Yes honestly

All passengers are free to have their own discussions, no?

@@checklistspro2072 no not really.

@@extrasalt9972 How come?

@@checklistspro2072 Are you the sort of person that queues up the night before to get tickets for The US tennis open?

Why do we need to? It's a plane and gets you from A to B. When you go on a cruise do you need to know all their procedures?

@@Pius-XI I don't think Sturvin Murvin was implying that you need to know lots of information

@@Pius-XI I don't know, that is your question not mine. I personally enjoy learning as much as I can in life about everything I interact with. That way I have a bigger picture perspective. I used to just coast through life not caring much for anything really, life is more exciting when you know what is going on. Different strokes for different folks I guess ;)

Although suggesting the plane has enough fuel to fly all the way back to Iceland was an eyeroller

@@visionist7 How come? A 767 is more than capable of that and it would be a very good decision from the captain based on the weather that day and the number of go arounds and diversions. A few A320s diverted from LHR to Spain. A 3 hour flight. So it's likely the aircraft was prepared for a return to Keflavik.

do you expect those passengers to know everything about aviation? they probably dont know that an aircraft getting struck by lightning is not really an issue

@@omxga.xt30ii agree 100%. Also the skill of the pilot landing the aircraft in those conditions is outstanding!

They're clapping because they just landed during the heaviest storm of the year in ldn ... after a go around ... and getting struck by lightning.

@@omxga.xt30ii Again, they are doing what they supposed to do. Do you clap your bus driver for arriving at the bus station?

​​@@KloudthedonClapping because a pilot landed the plane = clapping because a bus driver arrived to a bus station.

It definitely wasn’t knowledgeable 😂

@@zktom Why?

@@checklistspro2072 just wasn't. No way they would go back to Reykjavic or Munich if diverted, way too far away. Most likely Amsterdam, Brussels or Paris, as less likely to be affected by the storm than say Manchester. And no the pilots would not have been stressed, they've trained meticulously for those situations, and the planes can more than handle it - just another day in the office. Was probably back on autopilot for the go around, following ATC instructions

@@Spudnash Oh no I appreciate that it might not have been correct

I was gonna say🤣

What shape and orientation are aircraft windows?

@@angus_m doesn’t matter!! Looks dreadful on a tv!!

@@PixelsInTheSky If it were landscape then you'd just get the extra space around the window...

@@checklistspro2072 it would look so much better on screen and more immersive!

@@PixelsInTheSky Yes, fair point

Mute the video then?

Mute it then you clown

🤡

No they don't

@@flyzapva Your correct Sir, they now fly from Glasgow 😷

Hey, come on. Be a bit kinder.

A flight departing from Keflavik to Manchester was severely delayed because of the weather. I think the weather at EGCC was much worse. Glasgow, however, would probably make sense

Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, East Midlands, Bristol, Bournemouth in the UK plus many, many places in northern Europe all much closer than Munich in Southern Germany.

@@grahamepigney8565 The weather was very similar in all of these places. I don't know all of Icelandair's routes but I remembered (on the flight) that there was a flight departing to Munich and I assumed that would be far enough away that the weather would have improved. If it was any other storm then all of the major airport in the UK would likely suffice.

@@leomacherla Lots of planes managed to land after go-arounds. 2hrs or so to Munich or 3 hrs plus back to Reykjavich is just nonsense. Where did this flight land after the go-round?

@@leomacherla It's pretty unlikely they are carrying enough fuel for return to Iceland. Diversion to East Mids, Birmingham, or even Paris more likely (although the latter is less likely due to potential immigration issues I would think, should there be further problems).

Thanks! The captain got a clap as well as some cheering after this landing haha

That's the strobe light. There is only one lightning strike in the video at around 04:27.

@@leomacherla ah ok. I saw. I fly Icelandair all the time. The icelandic pilot school academy is one of the best because of the harsh environment in Iceland. They usually first fly interior flights on turboprop planes with considerable amount of cross winds and bad weather.

@@0sirisREx I can imagine! Icelandair was chosen for expeditions to Antarctica because the pilots have lots of experience with bad, icy conditions.

Haha thanks!

She was crapping herself
