A DEADLY PLAN That Resulted In An Ocean Crash | November Disasters | Mayday: Air Disaster

- When Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 departed from Addis Ababa on November 23, 1996, it was carrying 163 passengers and 12 crew members. Among them were an American diplomat, a legendary news cameraman, and a deadly plan.
Are you able to figure out what the cause of this crash was?
From Season 3 Episode 13 "Ocean Landing": Twenty minutes into the flight, the three young men rushed the cockpit and hijacked the aircraft. They demanded that the plane switch course to Australia - an 11-hour flight. It was a suicidal request - the plane had only three hours of fuel.
Captain Leo Abate had been hijacked twice before. When he was unable to convince the hijackers to change their destination, he developed a backup plan. Without their knowledge, he headed toward the tiny Comoros Islands. An airport there might be his last chance.

Are you able to figure out what the cause of this crash was?
Yes 3 highjackers, plane run out of fuel in 1996🥺🥺🥺 side of Comoros
I think the hijackers wanted to go to Australia because they had more of there buddy's there
Is that an actual, real question?
Sounds like icing to me. I mean., what else could it be?
Gravity
the fact that all the hijackers died and the captain survived has to be one of the sweetest forms of karma i've ever seen
Coroners determined that the last thing that went through the hijacker's mind as they slammed into the windshield, was their spine.
What goes around comes around
@@josephwimmer8546 fr
But a lot of the passengers died too. It would have been more just if only the hijackers had died.
I fully agree with you mate, one of the top Air Crash Incidents I've seen in a while.
This pilot is a survivor of 3 hijackings and a plane crash... incredible!
I don’t like this idea , feels like something not good with him , just a thought
It´s impossible I enter his plane or car or everything
@@lucyguldstrom5483 what do you mean? To me it sounds like a blessing, his mission isn’t accomplished so something of a higher power protected him.. my thoughts.
I would of retired after the first hijacking
@@lucyguldstrom5483 It's not him, it's the location and he has been a pilot for some time.
Surviving 3 hijacks..
"Succesfully" landing on water..
Manage to keep calm and seek help/plan under the pressure of 3 hijackers inside cockpit..
Landed near by island with people..
French doctor is present..
Tourist with boats to rescue everyone..
This is just amazing..
Hats off to you sir..
Well done for the people and tourist who rush to help the passengers of that plane to give first aid..
And best of all him and the copilot survived andbthe 3 hijackers died
Ya but half the innocent passengers died
Nowadays people would make tiktoks and just watch
@@greg1mcintosh844 125 out of 175 passengers drowned, died from impact or slammed into the walls as some of them were standing + all 3 of the hijackers died on impact due to not being seated.

Wow fact the pilot had no idea where Comoros was and still was able to locate it from a little book is astonishing. What a pro. He did a great job just lingering around the island. I feel like if they were further away from that island, it would have been even worse.
The pilot was a good person at heart.May God Bless Him.
this was before cell phones, too..
This pilot is my hero! I can't help it. I am so touched with the bravery and the calm frame of his mind..when he was trying to knock sense into the minds of hijackers at the same time strategising on the best ways to save life. Of all the documentaries, i find this one most intriguing ❤
I'm guessing you haven't looked at an atlas before?

For some reason the stupidity of the hijackers makes me more angry than if they had just been plain evil!
My kids are the age of the hijackers. I'm trying to picture them, barely capable of doing their own laundry or checking their own oil, hijacking a plane! I know one thing- there is NO negotiating with those mfs, not at that age.
More like stubbornness
Undeveloped brains..
Exactly
cowardly too, as are most hijackers and terrorists
What a hero that pilot is! And so humble, too, despite his ordeal.
Q
I'd be a jumble of nerves - this pilot is a truly amazing man!
He could’ve did so much better tho.
He was supremely cool in circumstances beyond his control. Kudos!
@@iyannad4542how?
that pilot deserves a medal for his courage and taking care of that situation. 3 plus hours, bless him.
The surviving man whose wife took charge and told him what to get and what to do before they hit the water is just the kind of person that l'd Love to be married too!
She is Awesome!
This pilot knew every single aspect of this aircraft. He did not have a co-pilot searching a manual for directions. Wow! He is a hero - so cool and professional under all that pressure with only concern of saving his passengers!!!
He was a real survivor. Determined to live. We should take a page out of his book.
HE is a pilot. A REAL PILOT. Given the high stress, I would habe shat my pants fir sure..
Uh, saving you own life usually means trying to save the passengers. He literally said so
CZcams has the sleaziest commercials. Their demonetizing channels claiming advertisers don’t want to advertise there is BS woke leftist agenda
Looks like they should have hired brave, strong, male flight attendants to overtake the hijackers. They should also include some kind of defensive shields they can use against hijackers with knives
Captain: "We don't have enough fuel to get to Australia."
Hijacker: "Fly to Australia or we will blow the plane out of the sky."
Plane engines flame out
Hijacker: "What is happening!!???"
Captain: "Exactly WTF I told you would happen. We are out of fuel."
Wow!
Those hijackers seemed to have shared 1 IQ point between all 3 of them.

Don’t lay down & cowardly die! Wtf! Losers!
Give this pilot a medal. What a hero.
I think they did get one
He saved his own life but only a small fraction of the others
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath could you have done it better? Overspeed landings into water are practically a death sentence, having no instruments to top it off, this guy is a fucking legend and probably also quite lucky to have kept anyone alive through it. Also, a sizeable amount of people inflated their vests, something you're always told to not do since, as they explain very well here, it can stop you from being able to get out if water enters the cabin, but that's what happens when you don't listen to the pre-flight safety instructions and then are panicking when you get told to actually put the vest on, that's not something the pilot had or could have had any influence over. Saving almost a third of the people is, in my humble opinion, quite an outstanding outcome given the situation
edit: Wikipedia says the following (I don't have time to read the official report but you can if you wanna verify): "Many of the passengers survived the initial crash, but they had disregarded or did not hear Leul's warning not to inflate their life jackets inside the aircraft, causing them to be pushed against the ceiling of the fuselage by the inflated life jackets when water flooded in. Unable to escape, they drowned. An estimated 60 to 80 passengers, strapped to their seats, presumably drowned.[17][18]"
You deserve a medal buddy
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeathhe saved more lives than if he did anything else
This deserves a movie... and I have learnt some incredible lessons in courage, thinking in stressful situations and not panicking.
I’d watch this
Tom Hanks getting restless waiting for the green light
We literally just watched a movie of it
This is better than any movie they could make in my opinion. It was very detailed and informative and it showed how skilled and experienced the captain is.
He should be credited as the best pilot in the world mentally and physically. He should be the highest paid pilot by now.
Amen!

@@randycummings3427 I'm sorry, but I don't know what that means.
From now on... when I see passengers running toward the cockpit, I'm sticking my foot out and tripping them!!
Sounds like a good plan to me !!!😄😄😄😄😄😁 I agree, I would have twisted their knickers to the point of no return. Know what I mean ? A real serious excruciating pain in the shorts. I think I would have done them in for the fun of it .😆😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😃😁😁😁
@Chairman 猫 better get shot honestly than die drowning horribly stuck inside the plane
@Chairman 猫 No guns are possible. And the 2nd guy might not see why the 1st guy tripped! I'd be discrete. And nowdays other passengers would grab him!!
We’re goin down…down , down, down, down , ….down …we’re goin down….down down down down down …I got my head out the window, and my bare feet on the ground… she’s gone ….gone gone gone gone ….gone 😜
@@ginapetersen2113 ohhh no and I did ! Cuz I don’t need no doctor…I don’t need no doctor 😁
Hijacked twice before! And now a third time!? I would call in sick every time if I had to co-pilot with this guy.
You got that right! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
No, I'd definitely want him on my team, if I were going to be hijacked anyway!!😊
It’s actually more common than you think in 2nd & 3rd world countries.
Well, He SURVIVED 3 Hijackings and a Plane Crash. So, his survival rate is 100%. You may want him to be on the plane in an emergency. 😁
I have difficulty believing the passengers did not rally when asked... 160+ people against 3 hijackers.... Massive respect to the journalist he deserved better.
They thought they were 10 or 11 , turned out the highjackers are bluffing.
The problem is that humans tend to be either monsters or cowards, with very, very few exceptions.
@@coolnut99that's a fact 💯
@@pinoytechniko6925not only that I think they were bluffing about the bomb also because the impact would have detonated the bomb blowing the aircraft to bits
@@coolnut99which are you?
I'm actually impressed about what the captain Abate did...he's a hero and he's well experienced...
Even for hijackers, these guys were dumb. They can't read a fuel gauge?
And they expected to be welcomed in Australia?
Australia was a penal colony, so in a way they were going to their spiritual home
Australia belongs to aboriginals,so u also grabbed it.
@@yourface4248 Not funny at all. Australian people are good hard working folk who know how to have fun. They are really great people.💯👍👍
Of course they would be! The inability to read a fuel gauge just proves that they're future doctors and engineers!
Captain Abate and the co-pilot surely saved the lives of those passengers who lived due to their experience in flying and dealing with the hijackers. Captain Abate beat the odds and was smart to try to ditch near the island. This is an amazing story. 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏💖
The passengers were cowards (THE MEN)! Why didn't they react when the pilot asked them to engage the terrorists? I would be willing to give my life for women and kids in any situation. After 9/11 if I even think you're a terrorist I'm throwing hands immediately!
Absolutely!!!
True, he thought it wise that way coz he knew some passengers would survive by easily escaping through swimming in the water since it is not so deep towards the beach & also the fact that there would be some rescuers at the beach who were going to rescue the passengers in time since they would be near the crash scene. He was very smart indeed.
Yeah, sucks some of them died due to inflating their life jacket early. Something I've never thought about before, but now I know. If you're going to be in a plane crash this is a pretty good situation to be in. Out of fuel so no risk of a fire, crashing near a tourist beach. A high speed crash but not as high speed as it could be
This pilot is absolutely incredible. Hijacked THREE times, survived all three times and then went back to work after partially ditching a plane into the ocean? He is made of stronger stuff than I could ever be in multiple lifetimes. The way the reenactment made it seem, he really was very brave to stand up to these hijackers the way that he did. Just.. wow. All of that multi tasking and his mind was still on his passengers as well. Those medals and awards were well deserved.
It's always so tragic to hear how preventable 9/11 was after the slew of hijackings that we did nothing about.
This captain and crew are heroes. The captain and co pilot did the best they could with the situation they were given.
That's so brave. The captain went through so much pressure. God bless you man!
As a praying man, I love that he prayed that he'd rather not be in the situation, though if he must that he'd be able to save his passengers.
Indeed
I would be honored to fly with this Captain. What a brave man! 🌹❤️
I live in Australia, I can't imagine what they wanted to come here for? The poor captain has been hijacked, more than once before! I can't imagine the stress! I know I would have a REALLY hard time going back to flying 😬
They thought they'd have freedom in Australia as they had escaped from prison.
They went right back but I bet they locked the cockpit door.
Seriously, I've heard of people trying to reach Australia by sea and being stuck on an island and left there by the authorities to die or whatever.
I actually think they were coming to get you.. anyway am glad they didn't make it down to you 🤣🤣🤣
They said why. To escape prison & better job lives etc
This pilot is a super hero to survive 3 hijacking.... And saving his passengers lives too to his best... Bravo!!!!
Might God
They are all borned to be " alive " and the journalist and the pilot who was flying the entire time was born to be hero. They will remain heroes. For those who did not survive RIP
Jesus saves
Hard to say, but not sure the photojournalist should be included with the pilot. Depicted here, choosing to do nothing with the rest of the passengers after captains attempt to overtake, failed attempt to rally support and arguing with a highjacker after it appeared their fate was sealed didn't help much. But I see why he is talked about its easy to look good when the other 170 ppl didn't do anything productive for hours.
Rest were idiots for not doing anything AND defying the crew inflating their life jackets.
We have have successful attempts at over powering the hijackers wayyy before 9/11 in my country
I think it was less of them disregarding his instructions to not inflate their life jackets and more of them not hearing him correctly. Through all the screaming and sheer panic they probably heard either inflate your life jackets or didn’t hear him at all and just followed what others were doing.
It's fairly common in a ditching situation for some people to panic and think it's safer to have an inflated life jacket ready to go when you hit the water and thus disregard the instructions, so some people definitely heard and disregarded. It's not to blame them, they just didn't know and were panicking
They likely would have been instructed on the proper procedures for using the life jackets when the plane first took off, but panic can really cloud your mind and make you forget what you were told to do in that situation. I mean the one guy was literally telling the other people not to inflate their life jackets but a lot of them did anyway. I doubt it was a case of mishearing him, and more just people reacting to what feels instinctive, which is water = lifejacket, while not thinking straight due to fear.
@@oMuStiiAI just learned you’re not supposed to inflate it until you’re in the water since every time I’ve flown they tell u how to inflate it not really when
@@brennathecatlover4360 the time when I flew they said not to inflate it until we're clear of the plane in the event of a water crash.
@@oMuStiiAleast when I fly I don’t hear when to inflate
That captain is one amazing man. God bless him for his courage, and his thought for others.
Let this also be a lesson: Don't inflate your life jackets until you're out if you're plane landed on the water
Certainly the last time I was on a flight the flight stewardesses were making a point to tell you this during the safety briefing, and it was also on the safety cards.
Yes something learned today
It's indeed a great lesson to learn. Thank you
True. But I thought the reason was that inflating the vest would make it harder to evacuate quickly -- not that it would push you to the top of the cabin when the plane sunk.
Even when ppl know this, the panic and speed of the situation may affect them and cause the critical error.
When the captain announces "fight the highjackers" , it is clear that all other hope of 100% survival is lost. I would want to fight the highjackers. Not sit and wait for a crash.
Such sad story
He should have been more direct, but I think he was hoping to say it in a way that hijackers would not understand, but the passengers would.
@@abacab87 bs. They knew, or many knew, especially when the photog tried to rally them. I understand that this was before 9/11 but they were cowardly. I'd rather die quickly in a potential bombing than crash but that's just me.
@@abacab87 as he stated in the film, that ax was on his mind

You don't know WHAT you'd have done. You were not there, and unless you are in their shoes at that very moment, you don't know WHAT you'd have done. Just stop.
Despite the darkness of this event, I'm weirdly satisfied that the nurse on the plane is just prepping to survive in the ocean with snacks. Very practical folks on this flight
Wow, this was a bit of a shock watching this, and hearing the what flight this was. Realizing my cousin had died on that flight. Some of the survivors told us he died trying to help people get out of the plane.
Wow sorry for you and everyone else who loss loved ones that day
Sorry man
Wasn’t this event over 25 years ago and you just learned the details!?😮
And the award for dumbest plane hijackers in history goes to… the hijackers of Ethiopian flight 961.
I think they were just playing dumb, I have a feeling they knew what they were doing, but they just wanted to die and didn't want to talk much.
But the brochure says it can fly for 11hrs though... What idiots, clearly they did no research.

@@KingK2205seriously doubt that.
@@xclusivechu yup just like the passengers who stayed in their seats awaiting death.
captain is a hero, brave man.
Talking to his plane, Zulu
this episode was INSANE! the pilot was so chill when the hijackers came in. man had guts!
He most likely said oh no. Here we go again. #3.
Just another day flying
In a lot of plane crashes it's quick, albeit horrible. Here, the passengers had to live through an entire flight fearing for their lives, knowing its most likely going down, then suffer a plane crash, then those who survived end up trapped and watch the water fill in the fuselage and drawn them, such an unimaginable drawn out death, RIP. It is not a surprise when the pilot called out for them to act, people didn't, despite knowing this is their best chance of surviving. Most people are too scared to fight, and even more scared to take lead. If a few got up, many will get up after, but you need those first few with the courage and initiative.
I'm surprised that the co-pilot didn't take action with a few big passengers to overtake the criminals. It would have been fairly easy to do so since they had no weapons.
The hijacker’s all died for lack of compassion for anyone on the flight
Good for'em. They deserved what they got, even after they were killed I would have rotated their heads 180 degrees just for the fun of it.They ruined everybody's day.
And for their truly monumental, abject, Trump-level stupidity.
Captain abate stay safe may God protect you always and your passengers you're extremely strong human being
Oh my God, after the crash, I felt so much sorrow and then tears of joy seeing people trying to help in whatever way they can. That's why we should all be one.
❤
Me too❤
Not much joy. 50 out of 170 surviving. Imagine all those people trapped. I mean an average person when booking a flight, would he consider, i dont know swimming, should i or should i not board a plane thats not even supposed to fly over the ocean on its original route.
@@indianfan1029if they weren't all such cowards maybe they would have lived.

@@walkingtalking7133 the presenation as well as how the pliots did good.
@@walkingtalking7133 the plane crash itself is tragic and very sad.
Interesting right ? Funny
I watched this with my kids, who are 16 and 18, and they cannot understand why the passengers or crew didn't try to overpower the hijackers. I think it's hard for the post-9/11 generation to imagine how different not only security was at airports and on airplanes, but also our mindset about hijackings.
Everyone just knew you cooperated with hijackers and followed their demands. And why not? Nine times out of 10, it worked. Plane lands, hijackers give up or are killed, and everyone's OK. Of course, everything changed after 9/11 -- actually, it changed DURING 9/11, when the passengers on Flight 93 knew their only hope was to rush the cockpit, and they fought back.
Today, everyone just knows you try and overpower the hijackers -- and that's usually what has happened in the few times someone has hijacked or otherwise threatened a flight since 2001.
Yes passengers are also willing to step in to subdue irrate, irrational and intoxicated passengers when staff are overwhelmed.
I think Flight 93 is why my young post-911 born gen think they should have fought back. I personally don't really blame the passengers as much anymore. It is scary being in a hijacking.
Using 911 with a lot of grammar to compensate the cowardice behaviour displayed on this flight,very funny😅.i was born way before the horrors of the 80s,90s,2000s,it's not a licence for cowardice behaviour
@@odemaj8605 So you read my comment and thought, "Aha! He's using 9/11 and grammar(???) to compensate for cowardice!"? That gap between what I wrote and what you think it meant is not only as wide as it could possibly be -- it's also downright bizarre.
And here I thought I was using grammar to make sure my writing made sense. You should try it sometime. Especially since your second sentence literally means that the year of your birth somehow made you ineligible to be a coward. I'm going to guess that's not what you meant.
Anyway, as for the point I think you were trying to make, no, I wasn't doing anything to compensate for cowardice because I didn't need to. It was a non-issue since cowardice had little to do with why people didn't fight back before 9/11. They cooperated with hijackers primarily because it was thought to give everyone the best chance of survival.
And history bore that out. Before 9/11, almost every hijacking where cooperation was employed resulted in the safe release of those on board. This flight was a rare exception, obviously, but you can't blame the passengers for that -- hindsight is 20/20.
@@RMR1 my meaning is simple,you claimed that pos911 generation might most likely lack the understanding as to why the passengers opted in doing nothing than doing something,
I didn't mean ineligibility but eligibility,having to experience indirectly aviation horrors of that time and using all those horrors as an excuse to mediate their cowardice is hillarious ,its much more easier to just say they were too frightened to react to the hijackers,don't make glorified excuses for them
The Captain Abata showed himself as a real Hero..
I'm glad both pilots survived this ordeal! May the Lord preserve all pilots and passengers in Jesus' name. Amen!

Amennnnnn
No not in Jesus name. He is just a man and a Prophet. In Allah's Name The One and Only God.
Nothing scarier then people who are so empty that they have nothing to loose. People should remember this when they interfere with survival of the fittest. I’m surprised these geniuses could even read the in flight magazine.
That's what religión does. It doesn't matter what religión you practice is the same purpose "brain washing."" Remember that religión and politics were created to control the masses.
What is "survival of the fittest"?
And still, it took until the 9/11 terrorist attack for the FAA to finally have kevlar cockpit doors that couldn't be opened by passengers. This captain was already dealing with his third hijacking, and hijackings had been happening all over the world where the terrorists had access to the cockpit. And nothing was done to curtail this. Sad.
After 2 he should lock the door.
I am so addicted to these videos and this channel. They are done so well. The narrator does such a great job too.
The crew did what they could in a very difficult situation with hijackers. Courage of the pilot and copilot, and yes the newsreporter were incredible. The passangers struggled with what to do. This was all before 9 11. God bless the people who lost their lives.
Agreed. What a tough situation.
Just to note: 9-1-1 as an emergency number originates in 1938. This crash happened in 1996. So it doesn't predate 9-1-1
But the sentiment remains the same. No-one would be able to help them if they called 9-1-1, as emergency services can't do much about a plane hijacking.
To stay calm and do what he did, Captain Leul Abate had to have a spine of steel. Especially knowing no one was coming to help. Massive respect.
@@asherscottLI think they meant 9/11 hijackings not 911 the emergency number
Same here, I am sure they meant the 9/11 hijackings on Sept 11th 2001
What a pilot! All those hijackings plus an actual crash and off he goes still flying. No PTSD for him! 🙏
Just another bad day at the office. Pass the salt.
This pilot did an AMAZING landing… very smart
The pilot was just amazing! He saved many lives.
UB
So it took 100s of hijackings and a 3,000 death toll terrorist attack to finally make people realize “hmm maybe we should strengthen the pilot door”. It’s one of those they’ll never learn moments
That captain is simply amazing to have to deal with raving lunatics and at the same time remained cool and tried to develop the best strategy he could
What an amazing Pilot. God Bless.
Congratulations to the pilot and co-pilot! Also to the brave passengers. Sorry for those who needlessly lost their lives because of the foolish and selfish hijackers
Who else agrees that captain abate was the best pilot ever , all the love goes to you men
175 people afraid to choke those 3 hijack idiots one man with no arm was more brave than rest of those people on plain it’s sad tragedy
This pilot is amazing.
Sad knowing we watched those people last moments, knowing they were inside from the beach’s view camera.
What a great pilot: Captain Abate. What a hero for sure! Pilots are so cool under constant pressure.
This was good acting because I found that primary hijacker to be so annoying and stubborn. Otherwise, very interesting - great job to the captain. So glad there were survivors.
Just to see some survivors in this documentary is refreshing.😇
Yes please, that ' there were no survivors ' always cuts deep 😭
I'd seen this footage before but never knew the circumstances of the crash. Such a tragedy that so many drowned by not taking the captain's instructions seriously. It certainly takes a strong person to go through that ordeal, and then continue flying after that.
As a flight attendant, the post crash scene hits different.
I’m afraid many, if not all my passengers would not follow our instructions and lead to their demise
The pilot is a hero😥. Surviving more than one hijacking.

What did the hijackers think would happen even if they did get to Australia? That they'd just be welcomed and waved through customs to be refugees?!
Captain Abate is an incredible pilot
In those days, most hijackings involved landing an airport and making demands.
Are you implying they wouldn't be? "Doctors and engineers", remember?
A lot of cowardly men were on that plane, and died anyway by not standing up
This historic film kept coming my way and each moment avoided it for very obvious reasons but changed my mind and watched the difficult and extraordinary situation. RIP to all those we lost and fervent prayers never to witness similar incident in our future.
God's blessings to the brave pilot and co pilot.I am surprised people did not try to over power the hijackers.For 3 hrs death was steering them and they did nothing.😢😢😢

That one dude's tiger wife is my new personal hero. Told him what to bring as the plane crashed then apparently hauled his unconscious ass out. No vulnerability not even in the face of death. I love her.
Psychiatric nurses are amazing.
This story lives in my head rent free as a reminder not to inflate my lifejacket god forbid if I ever get into a situation like this.
Now i know why we do not inflate our life jacket so early on board! Very educational!
This pilot is a hero
Cameraman even tried to motivate these passengers. They remained sheep
I am happy that the pilot and the co-pilot were not dissuaded from the enjoyment they get flying.
I'm trying to be serious but the captain is killin me with that side-eye 🤣
😂
Captain Abarte is one amazing pilot.
😊❤😂🎉
Wonderful video and extremelly well narrated. I supose all people in the video were actors and if so they portraied their parts beautifully and very convincing. Unecessary to say that that pilot was a true hero and rightefully so. Thank you for the great video.
I haven’t watched the whole video but for those who don’t know, you must never inflate your jacket inside the plane, because when it crashes, you cannot dive under the water.
That was the ending so clearly you watched it. Well they shouldve taken it off & carried it with them
Adjust, stand, and ring.......it up above gren land park.
Handle care. Pull .and repack . As dunhil mint essence and gold leaf 🍂 blower .
Keep learn never leave learn........
16 km from this height it lands.
Did anybody else notice the whiskey bottles? Larry bambrick Tennessee Whiskey? Larry Bambrick, the producer of Air Crash Investigations? LOL!! 🤣🤣
Good observation! I had to back it up & zoom in on the screen to see what you mentioned. I never would have noticed it myself!
@@KristinCortez Interestingly enough, I was curious if the film was paying to use brand products, and if so which ones, so I backed it up as well just to see, and that was a little surprising. I don't think they were going for humor, being the serious nature. What is left? conceit? A lack of anything to use? I found it really strange.
I noticed.
@@earthrise3672 it was probably just an easter egg created out of necessity, an inside joke that serves respectfully well for what they're recreating.
smart
Ethiopian airlines had the BEST food served when I flew in 2017. Restaurant quality.
They were so lucky they 1. Had an amazing captain to land the plane, and they were so close to inhabited islands.
Hope pilot live 100 years ❤❤He is incredible
Incredible how 50 people Survived
..........Absolutely, but for the hijackers, they piloted.........their soul of doom into oblivion of 'NO' Return.
Captain Leul Abate has my biggest respects. He did his best.
Comoros is quite close to my country, Mauritius. The pilot is very very brave!! Hats off!!
