Thank you for narrating each incident so beautifully... The incident #5 at 4:04 recalls a scary pesonal experience in 2007, being onboard of a Thai Charter flight; "One to Go", carrying Peace Keeping troops from Sri Lanka to Haiti. When landing for refueling at Santa Maria island in the Atlantic Ocean, the flight almost touched the runway and the first attempt failed due to heavy rains and wind in the middle of the night. I am Thankful to God for the blessed pilots who took right decision at the right moment. For me it was a moment of prayer as the leader of the contingent.

This jet also flew way above the city buildings and everyone knew it was coming because they have a count down T-10. I would have doubts that anyone was scared of this event even if it was just after 9/11. Maybe if there were tourists from USA that had no idea about the event, they might be a little startled, but seeing hundreds of thousands of people waiting at SouthBank is a dead giveaway away that something cool is about to happen. The aircraft in this particular video was not part of the 2001 event. Also the jet aircraft comes across at night time and it dumps its fuel, lighting up the night sky, so you can see it coming from afar and also notice how high above they fly.

I live in Brisbane, the plane flying through the city was for our Riverfire festival and I'm sure 90% the people living here knew it was coming as it was all over the news a month prior. It was an absolutely beautiful display I will remember forever, not because it was dangerous but because of how graceful it passed by the city with something to contrast the background behind the aircraft. I can understand people having PTSD from 9/11 but this was no more dangerous than a plane flying past the control tower as it comes in to land, our domestic and international airports are also in the city!

A grandfather of a friend was in the US Air Force training as a pilot from an air base in Texas during WWII. He said, student pilots used to a game among themselves to see how close they could get to the beach. They'd time it to see how close they get to the beach before the next large wave would come in crashing on the shore. They also buzzed nearby small towns where the highest object was the church steeple. They'd try to fly below the tip of the steeple. There would be serious consequences if they were caught doing this. And town residents weren't pleased with their houses being rattled from loud aircraft engines only about 100 feet overhead.

The pilot did a last minute go around for which everyone cheered. We also cheered when the pilot was finally able to land. I was also on a flight out of Chicago in a severe thunderstorm that got hit by lightening. Our pilot thought it would be fun to turn the cockpit cameras on for the passengers so we could watch the storm. No one was thrilled and were too busy trying not to throw up.

[@thecampbells3908]

Just a bit of info on the B787 bounce from an airline pilot's perspective. It did look like a pretty challenging day. Of course I know next to no details about this flight, but after watching it, here's what I think happened : Due to the weather, they were likely fighting gusts as well as trying to maintain airspeed. It's important to be at the proper speed upon landing, but when you're expecting "negative performance" windshear (suddenly loosing critical airspeed) it's common to come in with a few extra knots. I do it all the time. It adds a safety buffer on airspeed, but also has to be corrected before the landing flare to avoid floating and eating up precious runway. Landing performance (fancy pilot math) is based on pretty strict parameters. It looks like they were a touch high and likely fast, which is better than low or slow! Given the conditions it was reasonable, I guess. It appears they pitched down to attempt the landing within the landing zone (a calculated distance you must touch down to ensure a safe stop). After pitching down they did avoid a nose wheel first landing which is good, but then they bounced. Of course they're still a bit fast and back in the air, which isn't great, but here's where it really gets fun! When you land an airliner, there are usually parameters which have to be met in order for the ground lift dumping spoilers to deploy. These are the big surfaces that lift straight up when you land to "kill" the lift, essentially making your wing quit flying, the aircraft "stick" to the ground, and allow you to maximize braking. The standard parameters are something close to - wheel spin up, engines at idle for more than 3 seconds, within 5 feet of the ground measured by your radar altimeter and weight on wheels sensors (usually you need two or three but not all). So at the moment they bounced, this is a perfectly executed go around - they did good! Because after the bounce, you are at idle, wheels are spinning, and when you get to 5 feet and the ground lift dumping spoilers deploy,,, can you guess what happens? You drop violently sending the main landing gear struts right up through the wings and likely skid to an uncontrolled stop and hope your passengers are OK because your airplane and your career ain't!!! Now, that was technical and long winded. The real question is,,, why oh why are they even in a position where this happens? We all underestimate the weather now and then and do what pilots get paid for to keep you safe. If this storm was known to be a real whopper though, dispatch shouldn't have sent them and they should have questioned flying in to risky weather like this. Again, it happens, and more often than most people realize, so I'm not pointing fingers at the pilots. Just sucks to be in that situation, but once they bounced this was a textbook executed go around. Great job!!! 🙂 ~ Josh www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash-canadair-regionaljet-crj-100er-toronto

[@debbiethomas2622]

I’m not familiar with any of that (not a pilot) but I agree that the way the wind can toss a plane around like a piece of tissue, the “on point” touch takeoff, I would think, probably prevented the plane from the nose digging in to the runway and then cartwheeling (from the wind still trying to lift it) from the suddenness of it as oppose to running out of runway to stop I think

[@thecampbells3908]

Well, the biggest issue is not having your ground lift dumping spoilers deploy when you're not on the ground. That breaks the plane. Bad. The runway length may not seem like a big deal, but when you're landing in, LaGuardia for example on snow and ice, it can easily become an issue if you land too long. Braking action upon landing is based on the coefficient of friction, or what we call Mu values. A specialized truck drives down the runway and a system checks the actual friction value of the surface. This number is then requested by the pilots who "plug it in" to our computer to calculate our landing data, including how much runway we will need to stop, which may or may not be enough. I have diverted several times to a different airport due to runway conditions below the requirement to safely land. Happens every Winter all over. As far as "cartwheeling down the runway" - that's pretty far fetched. That really only happens if you strike a wing hard enough to loose it, causing asymmetrical rolling of the aircraft. Pretty rare. The only real threat in this video is that if they continued a landing attempt, they would likely land extremely hard and farther down the runway than is legally allowed based on landing data math.

[@debbiethomas2622]

@@thecampbells3908 fascinating. I did know that there is a lot of factors going into takeoffs and landing, just not the particulars. Love learning about stuff like that. After reviewing what a said about cartwheeling, I can see how that can be rare but my line of thinking is since the winds are unpredictable even in small areas (example, mini wind tunnels around high rises at ground level in the city) that if that bounce was level or even on all the tires… okay, I over think stuff (even worse case scenarios) at times. Thanks for the explanation.

[@thecampbells3908]

It's ok. I like hear what non-pilots imagine could happen too! As far as wind goes, the only serious threat is a negative performance windshear. Even if we roll out of control before getting to the ground, we can recover and go around pretty easily. 🙂

[@raylopez99]

No such thing as a bad landing if you get off the plane in one piece as an old saying goes... As for spoilers and the like, I recall a design decision at one point was whether the world's biggest commercial plane, the Airbus A380, should have just brakes to slow the plane upon landing or also employ in addition to brakes, traditional spoilers and the like. They decided on the latter, but the fact they were considering just the former shows how powerful brakes are.

We sat up in first class where we drank free champagne with the flight attendants when we took back off from JFK. Good times.

That BA pilot aced it bro! Immediate throttle up and ascent 👨‍✈️

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

This channel popped up in my feed a couple of days ago & I'm already addicted! It's fascinating & I'm learning some really interesting stuff. Thank you very much.

[@IMSTRAIGHTUP150]

I was at ground zero in NYC on 9-11-01. I don’t know how well I would have handle that plane flying so low and, in between those buildings. I would’ve been terrified.

[@Banichi04]

I thought the same. I could never again see a plane like that near tall buildings without anxiety.

[@HRHMANSOUR]

Well then congratulations. You’ve allowed the terrorists to win.

[@nassermj7671]

This is good.

[@rael5469]

If you pause the video somewhere in the 6:24 second range it is remarkable. It looks like the lightning passes through the horizontal stabilizer, or the elevators from right to left and then continues to ground. I have measured electrical resistance through the entire aircraft and was surprised to see it has VERY little resistance from one end to the other. In the milli-Ohm range. I think it is allowed 50 milli-Ohm but was less than one milli-Ohm when actually tested. That's less than .001 Ohm. For instance, testing between a static wick and the grounding lug on the landing gear. The static wick is what is struck by lightning in this video. (They will need changing.) This is because at the factory they take great pains to electrically bond each piece of the structure to the one next to it. PLUS we test and maintain this bonding on a regular basis for exactly this reason. I read somewhere that it is estimated that each aircraft is struck by lightning like this once per year on average. And yes it DOES cause damage.....although usually minor damage. Burns up a few rivets or blows the tip off of a composite fairing.....that sort of thing.

[@thecampbells3908]

I've been struck once good in a CL65. There was lots of St. Elmo's Fire. Our nose was glowing. I peered down the nose and saw mini static bolts a couple feet long dancing on the lightning strip! Just then we took a full bolt to the nose. It was at night and I was blinded. "Your controls", I shouted! Took a min or two to fully regain my sight. When we landed I walked around. There was a slight burn to the radome but no hole, which surprised me. We were missing about three or four static wicks! Blew them right off! All in all no biggy. We did years ago have a crew though who walked around after a strike and found no right winglet! Wouldn't that be a fun prize to have laying in your yard. 😂 I do my best to avoid convective activity, but sometimes those darn lines close in on you and you run short on options. I'd still take thunderstorms and contingency fuel any day over landing on contaminated runways... 😏

[@rael5469]

@@thecampbells3908 Wow, cool story. From what I've learned from the engineers, when more than a static wick is blown off it's usually because the electrical bonding between that component and the aircraft is poor. On a routine basis we test electrical bonding between static wicks on the rudder or elevators and the landing gear grounding lug. On one task the limit was a maximum of 50 mili-Ohms....that's .050 Ohms...... which ain't much......and it read less than .001 Ohm. Less than one milli-Ohm over more than a hundred feet of aircraft structure. From the tail to the landing gear there was almost perfect continuity. Which stands to reason because resistance in parallel is always less than resistance in series. But sometimes they install a new or repaired component and paint over the bonding surface, which should be bare metal to bare metal. If the bonding surface is painted over it could be damaged by a lightning strike.

[@colinmccarthy7921]

That pilot under any circumstances would not fly that low in a city full of skyscrapers.I would instantly dismiss him.Safety is the top priority. There is no if’s,but’s and and’s.

[@jaytoser5212]

One of the most unbelievable moments I have ever seen was at the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) in Oshkosh, WI. This happened about 15 years ago. The pilot took an old cargo plane up into the skies. Then he deliberately retracted his nose wheels; and then his left wing wheels. He returned to the airport runway; with only the right wing wheels and his tail wheels. As you can guess, he used almost the entire runway to land. His plane was truly level on landing. Until the speed of the aircraft ran out, near the end of the runway. It paused for about five seconds. Then the plane dropped on its left side. "Thump" is all I can say about the sound. The pilot walked as if he had done this all his life. [Which I can assume he did]

[@basicstores]

I am from India and like many, watched many utube videos. But this compilation is explicitly awesome with complete details. Although I do not enjoy the disastrous events, violent videos, death and destruction this video I should say has many such instances cautioning us for safety. Thank you for the videos. 🙏

[@julianaylor4351]

Reference to the plane footage, years before everyone had phones to video it, two RAF planes flew over my North West London neighbourhood, at night, one refuelling the other. Some people thought they'd seen UFOs. The pilots came from an airbase north of London, and were reprimanded for their dangerous manoeuvres.

[@dark12ain]

I love a channel that ads the actual video and not a depiction of it

[@BRUMMS]

I live in Brisbane & Riverfire is so well known here that no one is too concerned about a C-17 or any other military aircraft flying through the city.

[@muhammadabuzar3819]

Informative video..

[@Ronin4614]

The C-17 was unladen and they have quite a bit of power, lift and maneuvering power. I would have loved to have been aboard that C-17.

[@haydenwyllie4456]

I use to live in Brisbane in the 90s, back then they used f111 at the sky fire doing a fuel dump out the back. It was the best day of the year.

[@jadexesh]

From Brisbane. The C-17 is a new edition to the river fire festival (essentially Brisbane Day) Previously they flew F-111s where they did dump-and-burns but now they replaced these with F-18s which can't do it. So they added the big boy. What you don't see in the video is the jets follow the path of the river so it's not some random weave in-between buildings, it's a very clear and unobstructed path.

[@iggypopisgod9]

until the c-17 does a mid air stall

[@matthewmcintosh4925]

@ West Of London. Have a look for the 2017 360° cockpit video. Even poor old bitchin betty had a stroke and gave up.

Amazing Moments

[@melexanie5403]

They use the skyscrapers in all major cities here in Aus for training as well. We had black hawks also training, with their crew hanging out the sides, my son (4 at the time, now 15) thought it was the best thing since sliced bread when they waved back at him. We live in regional Victoria, Aus :)

[@seasonshotelspa4142]

Item no. 4 , the ship that slid . Surprisingly None of the other employees bothered about him.

[@reversalmushroom]

I wish that 1st one showed us what the deck looked like afterward instead of stopping with the wave hitting.

[@Kre8-1duH]

There may not have been more footage following the wave crash

[@reversalmushroom]

@@Kre8-1duH I'm aware. I'm just saying, I wish they would've pointed the camera back.

[@hallvardhvidsten2217]

Exactly my thought too.

[@reidx512]

Thank you!

[@Cent4man]

On Feb 24, 2022, I was on a flight from BNA (Nashville) to MIA (Miami) and the plane was struck by lightning right under my window shortly after takeoff. There was enough damage that we were sent back to BNA and put on other flights. I promise you, when you’re on that plane that’s hit, it’s very frightening

[@martyfoster7053]

Slight wind turbulence, is more than I want to experience.... I cannot imagine being on one hit by lightning! I'm glad you are still with us! You are, aren't you? LOL

[@thecampbells3908]

Yeah, it's scary for sure! You'd be surprised how well they take lightning strikes though. There's often some minor damage, but they are very cleverly designed to pass the voltage through the airframe and disperse it through trailing edge static wicks. Glad you were ok and the plane landed safely!

[@jstjaiden]

this is quite amazing.

[@producerbyproxy]

i live in brisbane, australia (pronounced bris-bin/bris-ben by the way), and can say those aircraft flying through the city are absolutely terrifying but a very normal occurrence here, anyone whos lived here for more than a couple years get used to it thanks to riverfire - which is by the way FAR cooler with jets flying in patterns around brisbane.

[@timothylukins7274]

Haha Bris Baine

[@lewisaveryfiler7087]

Well produced upload showing us some very interesting moments caught on video, however none of them are truly "unbelievable" as the title indicates.

[@preacherz01]

2:37 the C-17 is almost a daily occurrence for me. these fly over head our town/city at around the same hight for training. constantly, as do regular civilian planes.

[@thecampbells3908]

That's awesome!!! Where I live North of Minneapolis, the MN reserve and guard regularly fly C130s over my house. I know a few of the pilots personally. They take off from Minneapolis and go to Duluth, flying low right over my lake in Lindström. Then they leave Duluth and go to Camp Ripley, then back to Minni. Very cool to see when they go over; usually every other night! 😃

[@preacherz01]

something I'll definitely never get bored of seeing.

[@robbyruiz8980]

if they pass daily why is this the first video to surface the web? strange....
