Derren Brown - Hero at 30,000 Feet - Plane - Pt 2

Derren Brown manipulates someone into being a hero and seemingly taking control of a passenger jet.

[@nomainreason]

I like Derren's work looks too much like therapy for me.

[@JacklandInc]

To the disbelievers- In episode 94 of Mythbusters a pilot gave them instructions from a radio and both mythbusters managed to safely land the plane in a NASA simulator. This is almost exactly the same instance as in Derren Brown's show.

[@RuthCampbell123]

well done Matt

[@karinaalvarez1492]

There are good ppl in this world ur amazing man matt!!!!!

[@Flabbaghasted]

It's inspiring.

[@wb.17]

Congrats matt!

[@antoinefuckyou]

I think people are going a bit too much into the detail of how he landed the plane, the main point was that he overcame this fear and became a 'hero'. The plane simulator was probably set to just land on it's own without crashing but he had to believe that he was the one who took control. Saying that, I'm not sure whether it's real or fake, if it is real, then it's quite a nice little story, if it's fake, then ahh well, at least it was quite entertaining.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

This reminds me of that Michael Douglas and Sean Penn movie - The Game.

[@Alanphabetology]

@justtakeiteasy I know! I'm so glad that other people were as disappointed as i was! Its just normally, his shows are so new and exciting.. i was really waiting for some excellent twist that never came. Some parts also reminded me of Donny Darko strangely, the plane theme, the countdown clock flying about everywhere, meeting someone after being awoken by voices, and a near identical shot of a pupil dilating...But maybe that's just me. There was also hardly anything to do with Derren in it...

[@Crazee108]

i know this would never happen in real life... but if i was matt... id tell the cabin crew to do something.

[@Flabbaghasted]

Carkid14 he wasn't going to know? He probably only saw this clip for the entire programme. He wouldn't know. He mightve ended up getting lucky after becoming a hero. Another form of "what you can recieve" tosh

[@green2009day]

At the end just before they go trough to the actors his cross dissappears

[@44penfold]

I was really intrigued with this Derren Brown trick until he put the guy into a hypnotic state, and then it just seemed stupid and fake :/

[@Trazynn]

@ANewHuman Messiah was convincing for me. People can be brought in such suggestable states, those evangical churches do it all the time. But this is just too romantic, the character is unconvincing.

[@VICTOR28CHARLIE]

great show

[@ANewHuman]

@BaileysBeads It's a far cry from Brown's fantastic "You're going to watch this knowing that I'm a fake" performance in Messiah. I'm not sure what to think now. Too much magical thinking in his one.

[@therocher]

Wheres the beginning of this upload? I thought that was it until they introduced ppl who helped him along the way... We seen none of that, do you have the begninng?

[@Calif0rnIan]

It's obvious that the simulator was set to a really easy setting, but awesome none the less. Could be fake, could be real.

[@JacklandInc]

@iopy95 Planes actually almost fly themselves. To land a plane that isn't broken is actually as easy as driving a car.

[@JacklandInc]

@godmode9 Ah I remember they did crash the plane in the simulator but however they did it again with the pilot telling them what to do and the both manged to land the plane. KZbin won't let put links in so I can't show you and I did paste from the website but the comment was removed as you can see bellow by gerald I assume for no apparent reason.

[@chuvananb]

If matt was real, he'd be so embarassed to watch this

[@JacklandInc]

@iopy95 Also in Mythbusters they proved that you land a virtual plane as the man did in the episode if you are given audio instructions from a pilot.

[@RobeonMew]

it's fun to just "believe it" while it happens, but, I still can't shake how ppl can get hypno'd like that

[@felicialindblad6463]

On his way to the cockpit, his in shock/ autopilot so its really easy for Derren to but him under hypnoses. Learn the deeper nature of NLP and hypnoses and it will make sense, btw Derren is the best out there! its not every one who have the skills to do the type of suggestion.

[@clemensetz]

I am a huge fan of Derren Brown - but this show? I don't know... It was like some self-improvement book made into a reality show.

[@doyawanfrieswiththat]

@justtakeiteasy perhaps, but i interpreted it as, it could never happen due to there being no pilot, as sometimes people do just get sick or have some medical condition even though they are healthy

[@pauloricca]

@justtakeiteasy that lottery thing was a lot more fake than this :) it was merely a camera trick... now this one is a much more complete and challenging show!

[@PACMANlAC737]

@stevebailey69 when he entered the cockpit, it was dark. It was sunset when he boarded the plane, and they were in the air for about an hour. I could see where youre coming from though

[@Alanphabetology]

But still, I guess it really is just a television show. A poor one.

[@doyawanfrieswiththat]

@justtakeiteasy about the point of being able to land a plane without prior training and just instructions, go check out the mythbuster's episode on that, its entirely possible. unless of course you think they are fake too, but im just saying. Also if you listened to what Derren said, he did say the situation was completely unrealistic and it could never happen in real life

[@LOUISGSKATEBOARDS]

0.20 when he is ment to be aslep he is walking up the stairs

[@Trazynn]

@ANewHuman it is. Way too much.

[@raidwipe]

@tomtrollkiller None of the people involved are actors, none of it is fake (well, the actors on the plane were, so was the idea of him landing a plane - it was simulated)

[@ThePinkyPound]

I can do that.... its called flight sim... does that make me a hero?

[@djxpress]

Um there's one huge thing that a simulator cannot create, the sound of the wind outside the plane.

[@whotookmyhand]

Matthew W Speakers?

[@87anymore]

whos he inspired? shaun the sheep....

[@godmode9]

@JacklandInc I remember in that episode they both crashed the plane.

[@NHall609]

@cgsmitherine3 he is proffesionaly trained in hypnotic stuff and he has done it loads and loads of times so i think he can just do it really quickly

[@Crazee108]

He's a religious man... let him be

[@raidwipe]

@LOUISGSKATEBOARDS no, he wasn't 'aslep'.

[@Wisdombluetooth]

i feel they are both actors

[@Flabbaghasted]

Yes I know it was fake My other post wouldn't send but basically I said they're all actors to convince the watching public to do the great deeds instead. It's a subconscious mindfuck that's twisting the related topic onto us not matt. Matt is just a dummy as a little puppet. But he's a symbol. Why did he show us the clown on the box each time? Paused the film on that clown

[@ANewHuman]

Ugh, I don't know. This is just too much of a stretch.

[@mekkabon]

i'd lol if he messed up on the simulator though.

[@gLoBaLmInD7575]

heres the thing.. no one can be hypnotized that fast and be out of it to the point they have him walking to flight simulator like hes unaware.. this is complete nonsense!! dont know how anyone could believe it! i dont know how the people who made this play believed ppl would be so dumb to believe it! They were all actors, including him!

[@harveyatkinson9511]

gLoBaLmInD7575 It’s real, Darren is a very odd man who has learnt to do many odd things.

[@blackhorse8427]

no is not nonsense ;/ this is how sugestion in hipnotic state work

[@nihilist4184]

with all the people saying fake not fake where are the fucking links that show whether its fake or not????

[@hshjdk]

no matter what this dude is got a NICE chick!!

[@87anymore]

All that for what......? back to work Monday morning Matt.... another waist of time Mr Brown

[@perpsfred2000]

cods wallop!!!

[@Alanphabetology]

I found this whole show really disappointing. Clearly scripted, acted, and unimaginative. Also, absence of the 'Live element' left me sceptical. The garden scene where Derren was talking to the 'man', was shot with numerous cameras in a manner which could only be achieved with multiple takes. Therefore, not real. As much as i have admired his work before this, i was surprised there was no 'surprise' at the end, something which actually gave this charade SOME, scrap of meaning. anything.

[@shortinos]

bollocks.

[@DKomnicide]

should have flown it into the world trade center

[@hannahdewit8968]

What is wrong with you..
