Plane Crashes Into Ocean | Cast Away

This is a Hollywood Movie vs Reality on Cast Away. In this plane crash investigation scene, I explain the entire aviation accident that occurred during the Cast Away. The movie takes place on FedEx cargo plane that has a rapid decompression and crashes in the Pacific Ocean.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

@Tyler Buckley Fun fact, a 747 from a Chinese airline heading for California, don't remember whether it was San Fransisco or LA off the top of my head, but they lost control and plummeted from cruising altitude of about that height down to about 5,000-10,000 feet in just a couple of minutes. Miraculously, the pilots managed to regain control seconds before crashing into the Pacific and landed the plane safely.

[@TheUnderlost]

There was a famous plane crash in Brazil when two aircrafts collided at 37000 feet high, a small Legacy plane sheared off about half of a Boeing 737's left wing, causing the 737 to nosedive and enter an uncontrollable spin, which quickly led to an in-flight breakup. All 154 passengers and crew on board died.

I was reminded of a situation in Arthur Hailey's Airport (the novel, I'm not sure if it's also in the movie). After Guerrero sets off his bomb in the back of the plane, there is (of course) a decompression. The captain, who had been in the back talking to Guerrero and oxygen-mask-hopped back to the deck, is aware that many passengers don't have the masks on, and decides to descend rather quickly to save their lives. I remember he mentions it's risky because the plane is structurally damaged. Unfortunately I don't remember how long it takes the plane to reach the lower altitude. I might need to read the book again.

Suicidal pilots are why a number of airlines have a minimum of two crew in the cockpit policy, if a pilot steps out one of the cabin crew steps in.

actually some airframes have been known to go down that fast and for no apparent reason. most of you, to include 74 Gear the pilot, are VERY unfamiliar with the accident reports regarding elevator mishaps. There are so many reasons a plane will go down, and stating the wings must be missing like it is the only reason just shows all of your ignorance on the subject.

Okay, I watched 2:00 over again. In the beginning, he’s reading prepared text. If I were to post a video, I’d probably try to set up a teleprompter type of thing too. He’s cut out takes of himself reading, and the best ones probably involved not losing his place for an eighth of a second. After that, he blinks less often than I do, but he is blinking. I also notice that he seems tense, almost as if he’s painfully aware of the thousands of people who are eager to hear his musings on a 20-year-old Tom Hanks movie. His adrenaline/enthusiasm might have a lot to do with it. But picking on a physical trait like that, or, say, telling someone they blink too *often* can really impact a person’s self esteem for years.

Of course, there’s never been anything like this that’s happened to an MD11 let alone another large commercial aircraft that I know of. Keep these movie reviews coming and I thought it was very nice to know from a pilots perspective the chances of something like this actually happening.

The one "Hollywood" part of this scene that made me laugh was when the plane hit the water. The Hanks character was standing, holding onto netting. That plane had to be going at LEAST, well over 150 mph and likely A LOT faster. So when they hit the water, his arm would have been ripped off right before he sent flying into the cockpit and killed instantly. Imagine standing up in the back of a van that hit a brick wall at only 60 mph. It would send you through the windshield and you be killed.

My thoughts exactly. Surviving a water landing in a large jet like that is a very rare thing and it ONLY has the POTENTIAL to happen when you "land" on the water like it's a runway and touch the water just right. (not plowing into it violently like in the movie). Even then you're probably going to die when one of the wings digs into the water and the plane spins apart at a minimum of 115 to 150 mph (stall speed for large jetliners). Or maybe you end up slamming into a wave in a head-on collision, which at over a hundred miles per hour = pretty much zero chance of anyone surviving, especially someone standing up and not wearing a seat belt. But at their angle of descent, they're probably going much faster than stall speed which completely removes any chance of survival. (again, especially for a doofus standing up without a seat belt).

"Cast Away" is indeed a great movie with a fantastic performance by Tom Hanks. He was not to know that 16 years later he would be starring in a movie featuring yet another plane crash (or rather, "forced water landing") in which he would portray the real-life pilot who went through it and saved 155 lives. Your technical commentary on the plane crash scene is interesting but also has some important information for air travellers in general. Knowing that you should keep footwear on during take-off and landing - and why you should - is useful. It's also good to have a clear explanation of why you must fit your own oxygen mask before assisting others with theirs - if you're conscious, you can help them; if you lose consciousness, you cannot, thus everyone may end up unconscious and less likely to survive the situation.

At best, Tom Hank's shoulders have been dislocated to the point they aren't in their sockets anymore (See how his arms are looped around the cargo mesh?

@@74gear Just a second on that vote. I love hearing the details like the cargo latches and the "ditch switch" etc.

[@fadethechannel]

Agreed

[@leafleap]

I third that vote. Excel spreadsheets, digital simulations, frame by frame analyzations, cross referencing with real life counterparts, second opinions from guest pilots/engineers/scientists/nasa - are all welcome. Crank up the technical to eleven, please.

This movie was a chilling reminder that we are always at the mercy of nature.

Hey Kelsey. I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I just want to say you have one of the coolest intros on KZbin.

Went to this movie as a first date with the woman that would be my wife of 19 years (and counting). Ditching switch OFF.

Me too...but she married someone else. But that's ok...she's still in love with me

I also noticed something off at the very end: When the plane hits the ocean, inertia would cause Tom Hanks' character to go flying forward towards the cockpit before getting hit with the rushing water through the broken cockpit windshields. Instead, Hanks stays in place until the rushing water knocks him backwards.

[@Ccyawn123]

In all reality, when the nose of the plane hit the water, the tail of it would reach that same spot a tenth of a second later. Everything in between, including Tom Hanks, would be obliterated. Almost nothing would be recognizable.

[@tommypetraglia4688]

So Tom Hanks tells the producer he wants to film the first half of the movie all soft and pudgey, then once he's castaway stop production for a year so he can get all scrawny and long-haired like he would look after 4 years stranded on an island. Now Robert Zemekis had to sell it hard to the studio since they were concerned about losing the crew, but because it was Hanks they agreed. It took him a year of eating nothing but rice fish and fruit and lots of waliking and of course not cutting his hair to achieve the look he wanted knowing full well no special effects or make up would come close to the real thing. This one aspect of his "acting chops" i feel is never properly given its due as this man transforms himself for each role he is given And in Castaway his stellar performance began one year before he stepped in front of the cameras

I really like hearing about the technical aspects when Kelsey is explaining a video, because how else would most people know?! As a GA pilot, I'm always interested in things from the airline aspect, and Kelsey is very good at explaining the finer points!

[@butchieblock9118]

Yes, I agree. He seems like a very amiable knowledgeable fellow!
