Prisoners Takeover Plane - Con Air | Hollywood vs Reality

by Panzer
Con air Hollywood versus reality welcome to Conair coming up hey
74 crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is Kelsey I'm a 747 pilot my
channel 74 gear is all about aviation today this is the view from my
hotel room you can leave me a comment let me know where you think I'm at and
later on the video I'll tell you exactly where I'm at
Con air came out in the 1990s it's a movie about some cons that take over an
aircraft and then end up crashing it and if you haven't seen the movie and you
want to watch the whole thing I'll put a link in the description that you can go
check it out until then let's get into it
I've got a fire where is she's reporting in the rear cabin begun ahead of the
luck boss Mac going back there check it out
say there was the disturbance but everything's under control say it or I
will kill you so the submergence East which is justice for all general
emergencies or something in specific like the passengers have taken over the
aircraft there is no such thing as an emergency switch on an aircraft we have
a code that we put in this transponder which lets air-traffic-control know that
we have an emergency but there is no switch that you flip which throws on
flashing lights like that now there are pilots that do have guns and there are
planes where there are pilots with weapons on board and I'm not gonna get
into specifics and this was obviously pre 911
I'm not gonna get in the specifics of exactly what we do and what we don't do
in a scenario but one of the things that you would never see is a pilot run out
of the flight deck with a gun in their hand for this exact reason here the
other thing that I'm hoping a pilot would never do is in a hand-to-hand
combat situation squeeze the face of the bad guy because that's not really gonna
do you any good if he's gonna shoot you with a gun now I've mentioned this in
the past but pilots we don't wear our shoulder harnesses when we're flying we
wear them for takeoff and landing and after takeoff we take them off because
it's not very comfortable it's hard to reach things in the flight day so the
fact that they're in crews they wouldn't have them on even in turbulence I've had
people ask well what about in turbines would you have them on no because you
have a seat belt just like all the passengers and that prevents you from
getting your head thrown into the overhead panel which I've seen happen it
hurts so make sure you wear your safety belt so that was just a few of the
Hollywood things that I noticed in this first scene but let's get back to the
movie in this scene the convicts have taken over the plane take the pilot out
and kicked out all the guards here we go
on back set me see you Swamp Thing that's right plan to play that's right
what are you doing here
