Kalinin K-7: The Soviet Monster Plane That Defied All Odds

[@oxcart4172]

Why did Captain Eric Brown turn up? The K7 must've been one of the few aircraft that he didn't fly!

5:03 Kalinin was executed in 1938 and the plane was an expensive failure. :(

died like the dinosaurs, too big for their own good

AI scripts suck

[@braedenreed4052]

I don't know what you're complaining about the script reads perfectly

[@nxbrennan]

​@@braedenreed4052as the other commenter mentioned, the wingspan is only mentioned what, a dozen times? What sealed it for me was the segment starting around 9:30 talking about vibrations from the pusher prop - then at 10:50 it literally starts over again saying the exact same thing

@@nxbrennan Don't know about you but your first timestamp merely mentions it, the 2nd timestamp dives deeper into _why_ it's a problem.

@@SatyricAbyss Are you really so thick in the head that you cannot see the highly jumbled writing with random statements all over the place with little respect to any overall structure or apparent train of thought? It's like a person wrote several small short pieces about the plane then stitched it all together haphazardly. Then the narrator just powers through it without properly pausing as if they are just a machine. If it's not AI then it is seriously bizarre and it is as if the writer hadn't slept in days and was mainlining drugs so they could crank out as many things to say about the plane as they could.

@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 ayo chill I only mentioned the 2 timestamps another commenter mentioned. I never mentioned this script isn't written with AI
