Loved this doc. Loved sharing it with my engineer/artist/military pilot brother.

I confuse my heroes who are characters with the actors that play them sometimes.
Apparently, Will Smith is not the guy from The Pursuit of Happiness.
Apparently, Will Smith is not Fresh Prince.
Apparently, Will Smith is not that heroic pilot from Independance Day.
Apparently, Will Smith is an asshole.

That's just futs I tell ya. Just nuckin' futs. 🥜 🥜

Drone pilot was pretty good also. 🚁

nothing new... the Russians have been sending burly "women" to the Olympics for decades.

I think they could take this monobob 1 step further, make it purely a skill sport by adding weight such that the combined pilot+sled weight is the same for everyone, and use a railgun-style launcher (tech existed for rollercoasters for years) that sends everyone at the same speed. That could even be a mixed-sex sport, like Nascar.

I imagine a lot of pilots yelling out, "nailed 'em!"

Ouch.

you'd think with such a high incident rate, they would come up with a safer route/solution? even a large metal shield they could crawl under seems like a no-brainer. like a turtle shell - could tie it to that rope and send it back over to the next climber.

maybe the local emergency-helicopter-pilot economy depends on these "thrill seekers" ?

Pilot injuries sustained during the police beating following the rescue.

He absolutely faked it. Consider:

- Happened to wear a skydiving parachute for the first time on YT on this flight
- Fuel selector line to the right wing was visibly disconnected, accounting for an empty wing, short intended flight, and the lack of fire
- Left door was ajar when prop started to sputter
- Down/up pitch inputs during "engine failure" add drag and slow the plane, whereas basic pilot training is to put the nose down to gain airspeed

This pilot had some good points.

!?
They literally had 4 seconds to spare. When, exactly, should they have tried to find a chain, attach it, attach a tow vehicle, and hope it works? And also just hope it doesn’t kill the pilot itself?
I’m rarely one to pat police on the back, but they seem to have done everything right to save the pilot at great personal risk to themselves….in other words, they actually did their job this time.

Although i knew anyone could drive on it, I didn't realize just how easy it was to do. Call me surprised.

You can do exactly what Tom did here for a small fee. Count me in! https://nuerburgring.de/driving/driving-academy/co-pilot

some dipshit pretending to be in the know says some F-22 pilots "walked off the job" because of the vaccine mandate ordered by DoD looooooool

There's a major problem with this design that was just glossed over in this video: the windows aren't there for you, they're there for the pilots and flight crew to see what's going on outside the plane in the event of an issue. You can have all the cameras in the world on that thing, but no civilian pilot is going to get on a plane without being able to see what's outside it themselves.

Also, watch this video that explains why no one designs new prop engines and why we're still using a basic engine design from the 1950s. Now take these basic issues and them multiply by billions of dollars. This idea is a total all-or-nothing for Boeing/Airbus and there's no chance in hell that management would ever go that far out on a limb.
