The movable aisle armrest is not a "hidden safety feature" for evacuation. That doesn't even make sense to have a hidden safety feature. In an emergency, no one would know it's there or how to use it/find it. The armrest is moveable because some passengers with disabilities need to be able to slide from the wheelchair to their seat without being lifted. (The wheelchair used in this case is a special size to fit down the aisle of a plane.) Lifting passengers in such tight spaces can cause injuries. A slide board is placed between the wheelchair and the aisle seat for the passenger to move between the two. That's why the armrest needs to be able to fold up.
Ok
Yeah, he said that????
Yup
Makes sense!
You''re absolutely right, this feature may or may not be available on every economy class seat. It is a feature purely designed for Disabled access and then only on Aisle seats. It is usually fitted on older seat models which do not generally feature articulated armrests!
It is not a secret emergency feature, to suggest so is ludicrous!
Scubadivers do not use Oxygen bottles. They would not survive pure oxygen. It is simply compressed air in most cases, sometimes other mixes.
That just shows The credibility of this whole video correct?
Not "Mixes", but "MIXTURES".
I heard it was Guinness.
@francisxaviericaza1425. Thank goodness you caught that! It could have been a close one. I will now be able to go about the rest of my day comfortable in the knowledge that the Grammatical commander still has time to catch slip-up's. 💯👍
I think most shallow-water SCUBA divers use compressed air because it is cheaper than the oxygen-helium mixture that is necessary to prevent the "bends" caused by nitrogen percolating out of the blood during rapid decreases in external pressure.
The use of ordinary compressed air (which is about 16% oxygen and 93+% nitrogen by volume) limits the amount of time someone can remain at depth without ascending to prevent the bends. SCUBA divers (the ones that have survived) keep close tabs on how deep and how long they are at depth, lest they run out of air while ascending at a rate that allows the nitrogen to escape their body without causing a fatal case of the bends.
Passengers flying in airplanes above 10,000 feet need compressed oxygen that is normally supplied by cabin air. That is why commercial airplanes have pressurized cabins. Military airplanes and space craft fly by a different set of rules. If you are flying commercially and the masks drop down, you have much more to worry about than breathing.
I’ve been a flight attendant for 20 years on Boeing aircraft. Have never seen a railing under the bins. We just balance ourselves on the bins, except for MAX’s and 787’s. Those Bins are high and more sloped to allow for more head room. Nothing to hold on to except seats. 🤷♀️
Or passengers 😂
The Circadian Rhythm is not a Psychological Condition, it is a Biological Condition, as is the Jet Lag which affects it.
Maybe misread "physiological"?

As a pilot, I enjoy watching videos like this, generally because they contain outlandish "facts" that are nowhere near true. I was pleasantly surprised with this video. Everything was true. However, the detachable cabin idea will absolutely never become a thing. As pilots, we're taught from day 1, never give up. Do everything possible to get on the ground as safely as possible. Also, as a pilot, why would we sacrifice ourselves to detach the cabin and save everyone else? If I get down safe, y'all get down safe too. Multiple case studies out there that seem absolutely hopeless, but the pilots did everything they could think of and saved most, if not all, of the people on board. The most famous, Cactus 1549...the miracle on the Hudson.
Would detaching the cabin mean the pilots sacrificing themselves? It looked like the important bits of the plane would still be there. I wonder how it would handle with all that weight suddenly jettisoned!
I don't think jettisoning 3/4 of your airplane is going to make it fly very well. So I agree that the pilot's are probably sacrificial at that point. I agree that we'll never see this in commercial aviation. Though, mainly because there's no cost benefit to airlines. The loss of cargo capacity, because of the added weight of the detachable cabin and it's components are simply not worth it when the chances of being in a fatal accident is negligible.
Pilots got 30 seconds to get the hell out of their seats and into the detachable.
Hilarious! You think airlines that bought this might have a staffing problem!
The armrest thing though. Isn't all that secret for wheelchair users.
Characteristics of an air marshal:
- Unaccompanied
- Aisle seat
- Late boarding the plane
- GOLF SHIRT
All according to legitimate sources of course.
Don’t forget: cargo pants
And a big iron on his hip!!
What exactly is your point?
@@alanevery215 it’s a movie reference
When I used to work for American, they would board first, due to the special clearance they needed to board a plane with a gun
Zero clickbait, fully-researched material, two absolutely best narrators, interesting topics covering wide array of things, lighthearted humor and narration, infrequent ads, childish atmosphere, and most importantly lots of knowledge. That's why your channel is way above anything else on whole platform. And one thing I noticed, you guys never shove any subjectivity to us, you always clearly distinguish your personal opinions with the facts, with, often, 'self-depreciating' the subjective in humor and strongly prioritizing the facts and the knowledge, yielding perfect balance. That's why I absolutely love your channel. Your moral conduct, with trying to minimize any ambiguity and unclear titles, and everything else I mentioned above - CZcams should unironically put your recent two-three years content as a gold standart guideline for all the upcoming youtubers and show them at their very first upload as a way to go (not that anyone would replicate you anyway). I love you, BE AMAZED.

I worked for a company once that made laser scribing machines, huge great big lumps of precision granite. Our customer wasn't prepared to wait for the finished machine to be shipped by sea, so they paid for it to be shipped from Oxford to Japan on an Antonov. I didn't get to see the send off myself, but the photos were quite a sight.
Sorry, scuba diving tanks are not full of oxygen, they are full of air.
🤓 🤓 🤓
Oxygen is toxic and deadly when under pressure!
Oxygen Candles do make Oxygen but not under high pressure and it’s mixed with Nitrogen in some instances, it’s always evolving.
Never been scuba diving, but from what I heard, it's a mixture of gases depending on the depth of your dive, right?
Lol!! I LOVE comments that appear to be smartassed BUT are actually correct or serve some purpose
Oxygen vs Air
"Oxygen just contains oxygen. Air, however, contains a variety of elements and other substances, including oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, methane, neon, krypton, hydrogen, xenon, iodine, and more."
I believe you are incorrect regarding scuba tanks using oxygen. They usually use compressed air.
Under 10 meter (30 feet) pure oxygen might be too rich then toxic.
It's still not chemicals. Potatoe, po tat o. 😊
he didn’t say scuba divers use oxygen he said like the tanks at Skuba dives as use.
Because the same style of tank is also used for oxygen in other professional industries. All the comments saying he’s got it wrong and not listening to what he’s saying.😂😂😂
About ten years ago we flew to and from Australia to the USA with United, on the last flights of 747’s that the airline was using. The one we flew home was going to fly on from Australia empty to the Middle East to be turned into a cargo plane. Those things were old planes, decades old possibly, and felt solid and reliable. Just a great old bird.
The DC-10's and MD-11s fell out of favor with passengers but had a long second life as cargo planes. 747s will be flying cargo for a long time to come.
Ouch! Divers dont use oxygen tanks. It’s compressed air and we even add nitrogen for deeper or longer diving
Attention to detail : This channel could have used any stock video of a 737 taking off, but they actually found a clip of a 737-200 classic with the original P&W JT8D engines while explaining 1970s era aircraft.
Also, when they talked about airplane crash rescues, (23:12) they showed the actual footage of the rescue of the Uruguayan rugby team. You can see the frozen bodies in the snow.
Questionable credibility when they say scuba tanks are full of oxygen.
What's an "engine"?
If an older plane is still in the sky and still completely functional, that just proves exactly how reliable it is.
aerospace companies focus on reliablity
@@edheadgaming8411 yup.
It may be more of an indication of how well maintained it is. A lot of parts will have been changed in that time. But ... if that was an up-to-date picture of the actual plane, it looked like it still has the original type of long, thin, cigar-shaped engines.
@@edheadgaming8411. Check out the Boeing whistleblowers , one is passed away……..during deposition.
You are more right than you think , check out other comment ! We’re on number two now ….
As an aviation geek, I am glad to have learned interesting facts about planes. Thank you, Be Amazed!

@@Ezotzz hello
15:50 I figured out the "unlock" switch on the aisle armrest a long time ago, and I make a habit of lifting the armrest when we're boarding and leaving the plane. So much easier to get everyone in and out when the armrests are all up.
Yeah, why do they have them at all lol
@@Wonderhoy-er Not sure, but since they're only on the aisle armrest there must be a reason. Probably has something to do with not being able to accidentally bump them upward, like someone walking past might do.
@@IdRatherBeDiving-vr5gk yeah probably
They must be down and locked for take offs and landings. A lowered armrest can be crucial to help direct people (forward of aircraft) in low visibility after an accident.
I always lift the armrest up until everyone is on the plane. I have to have an aisle seat and it’s much easier to get up and let others in.
glad to see that you're still alive after posting the last video about cursed objects :D

The AN-225 isn‘t supposed to be restored, a new one will be build using a partially finshed second plane in storage
I am a scuba diver. We just put plain old pressurized air in our tanks, not oxygen
Im also PADI certified. Just air
Ok but air still is oxygen
@@MarleneMeier- that's like saying that bread is flour!
Try eating pure flour.
Try breathing pure Oxygen - you shall be a corpse in no time.
@@MarleneMeierBasic science…air is a mixture of gases, 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the other 1% is water vapor, argon and CO2 combined. Breathing 100% oxygen is only done in hyperbaric chambers or divers using rebreathing devices or divers doing extreme underwater dives. Air is not just oxygen.
Oxygen at more than two atmospheres pressure is poisonous! Not a good idea!
Scuba divers don't use oxygen tanks at all, which is lethal below a few metres, they are filled with regular air or nitrox, which contains a little more oxygen than regular air, thus allowing longer dives, but not as deep as with regular air.
I'm a frightened flier. This sort of information gives me comfort. I won't have an anxiety attack the next time I fly somewhere.'
They don't fly, come on. They weigh tons and if you open the cockpit door you'd see an old man chanting and shaking a bag of bones.
This is probably the best presentation I've seen so far. I love watching Be Amazed. You cover such a wide range of subjects with your witty commentary. Very interesting and informative. Thank you
Except one point: Scuba divers don’t have oxygen tanks, they have air tanks, just like fire fighters. They breathe air, not pure oxygen.
Boeing 737Max proves that newer airplanes can be more dangerous than older airplanes.
Be amazed's voice really does sound like a airplane pilot driver.
Calm,focus and ready to go.
Small correction. SCUBA cylinders contain regular air, not O2. Only if you're doing deep dives will it contain something else.
Nitrox
The top comment is accurate enough. Yeah, there's nitrox for longer bottom time on shallow dives, Trimix for deeper dives, and people using rebreather circuits. Pure oxygen is also used for decompression stops as part of technical diving.
But 99.9% of dives are done on good old compressed air.
On some window seats, I have lifted the window armrest to give extra bum room. I always used to put the armrest down after the flight. This was mainly on newer Airbus A320 aircraft.
Put da big ol' but down dare & wiggle dat ol' bad boy aboot. 💪
In 28 years as a aircraft line maintenance engineer I have never heard a ground call horn sound like that. 😂
The other horns are for a APU fire and Avionics cooling failure.
Scuba divers don’t use oxygen tanks either. They use air tanks. Sometimes with slightly different levels of oxygen and nitrogen than in normal air. But no oxygen tanks (100% oxygen). Not at all !!
After 40 years in aviation I have never heard a ground call horn that sounded like a steam locomotive!
I seem to remember that all of the armrests could be moved up.
I once flew on a mostly empty flight and I was able to lay across all the seats like a bed
Most. Not all.
If I heard that plane horn … I’d be looking for where’s the train?
Really! Then again, who cares what you would be doing!
"Making gummy bears scream" made me laugh
An episode of Myth Busters TV show actually used gummy bears as rocket fuel. The sugar content acts as a hydrocarbon fuel. They used sausages too. It worked!
I love the seat trick on the for lifting the arm. I am disabled and it has always been hard for me to get out of the seat when going to the restroom or getting in and out. Next time I travel, I will try this.
I actually knew about that one. Back in the day when traveling on a wide body jets, 747, DC-10 or L-1011international flights were typically well under booked.. Many times the plane would be barely 20% full. There was always a center section of seats five or six across where if I were sleepy, I could go to on of those rows and flip all the arm rests up and out of the way, allowing me to lie flat across, like a bed.. During the 1970s, once you were in the air in a mostly empty plane, the crew didn't care where you sat.
Yes, me too, I often wondered about this, but no one ever shows you. I'm a wheelchair user btw. Next time I will surprise my husband, who always spends ages riving at it like men do, and just click flip - and really annoy him for the rest of the day! After 50 years of marriage, you take your 'wins' when you can get them!!!!!!
the horn on the airplane sounds like a train horn :0
As a AVgeek I can confirm that this is completely true unlike most videos which are sadly clickbait.
Just so you know, scuba divers do not breathe pure oxygen. They breathe air,the same thing you’re breathing right now.
5:32 Or you can just look at the information plate in the entry door frame at the front of the aircraft.
Just saying.
I like the subtle way he dropped a “your mom” joke 👍🏼
(1) Scuba tanks do not contain pure oxygen. (2) Jet Lag is physiological, not psychological.
So basically we have enough air marshals to the flights most used by the politicians and the rest of us have fend for ourselves.
Yeah... I picked up 9n that too.
Scuba divers tanks ALSO don't contain "Oxygen"!! It's compressed air.. Which has a low percentage of Oxygen in it.. But "Air" is NOT Oxygen!!
Be Amazed!
The percentage of oxygen in air is around 21%, well 20.947% actually, if you're counting.
Tips: Say Boeing Triple-7 and not 7 7 7 for more smoothnes 👍
at 20:18, the ANTONOV 225, is a bit crunchy at the moment, with slit burning and scorch marks
I would love to see the ability to board a plane in my wheelchair? I'm legally blind and use a power chair I am always worried that I will leave at one gate in one piece and wonder if it will arrive at the other gate in the same way it left in? Some people can't live without their mobility aid if their chair is damaged.
I love be amazed...seriously my favorite channel on CZcams

good useless information but never talks about the important information of this place.
On military cargo aircraft, the horn is used in emergencies to let the passengers know to evacuate the aircraft.
I wish airlines would emphasize that the middle seater is supposed to have priotiry over both the middle armrests, since aisle or window seats have their own benefits.
I wish three abreast seating was wider but that doesn't mean it will happen
Well, it has to be safer as it used to be when everyone had to sit on each others face's.
I recall seeing air marshals in uniform back in the day. I am 71, so that day was a long time ago!
I feel like there's another problem with the detachable cabin -- it only works in open space. So if you're over open water or farm fields, it could be useful, but if the area is even moderately populated, dropping the cabin could cause catastrophic results. Even some terrain might be too rough to do this safely -- mountainous areas, for instance. Plus, it wouldn't work for accidents on takeoff or landing, which make up the majority of aircraft accidents. Then you also have to consider the risk that the system itself could malfunction and cause an accident, and it starts to become pretty obvious why the technology is slow to be picked up -- if it's only effective in a small number of accidents, and also *creates* an additional accident risk beyond that of standard aircraft, it could end up being a wash or even a net negative.
also the pilots fuck them self
Great points!
My main thoughts were focused on the fuel system. From what little I understand, isn't the fuel system typically ran under the cabin and wings, almost like a loop? Isnt this why, generally speaking, once a fire catches, it'll spread immediately & be so catastrophic for a large percentage of people on board?
So, I'm REALLY curious as to how the detachable fuselage would work around the fuel system without jeopardizing the function while safe guarding from worse scenarios?
@@fadingfrost2617 Oh I don't know. It's not at all hard or difficult for me to imagine a system that avoids fuel lines intermixing with the passenger cabin. Fuel is stored in wings and engines are mounted under wings. The passenger section would be entirely separate.
The idea of modular cabins being somehow faster than either transferring passengers and cargo to a new, fully-fueled plane or just having the passengers stay on board during a required refueling on the ground is pretty silly as well.
The only scenario I can come up with where a modular plane makes sense is in the case of a small airline that does a mix of cargo and passenger flights. If modular cabins were standardized and interchangeable like shipping containers, I could see an airline with only a few plans choosing to use modular airframes and swap cabins on a per-flight basis. But even that is incredibly unlikely if the design imposes lower fuel efficiency.
@@bearnaff9387 Yeah but then you would need to have a spare modular cabin at each airport you want to fly it out of, sitting there waiting for the plane's return, collecting parking fees and taking up space. I can imagine how this would become a problem for both the airlines and airports pretty fast.
You forgot to mention the secret bedroom that every plane has for their flight attendants 😁
Very few have that option. Normally long distance aircraft, and it is used by all the flight crew.
@@robertheinkel6225 Most modern long-haul aircraft have it. Not all flight crew use it, there's usually a space up front for the pilot/copilot/engineer/etc... and one towards usually the rear that is for flight attendants, separate areas.
Side note, Oxygen Candles are used in Submarines to produce Oxygen, as well
I loved this video. I am already comfortable with flying, but this gives me more knowledge.
Scuba divers do NOT use oxygen filled tanks. They are filled with compressed air.

That's not quite how tail numbers work in the US. They are like license plates, with custom numbers only available on request and they must follow a specific format. Airlines may try to get tail numbers that follow some arbitrary preference, but it's just as feasible for an antique Piper Cub to have that number instead. Some private owners change numbers just to have one that is easier to say over the radio or has personal meaning, like an anniversary date or initials. There may be no more than 5 characters after the N, with at least the first being a number and only the last two having the option of being letters, e.g. N1, N12345, N1A, N123AZ, with letters I and O not allowed.
And in other coutries the tail numbers also work diferently. He forgot to menshion that aswell

Why would you have a detachable cabin instead of parachutes for the entire plane or something that allows the pilots to live as well?
Both ideas are too heavy. Parachutes only work on GA planes, and not commercial airliners.
@@spencr. Yea, that is true, it is just so silly how people would ever think of something as stupid as a system that would just sacrifice the pilots.

There's less under seat storage space in the aisle seat usually. When I travel with my dog I must sit in the middle or the window. But the middle seat has the most space!
Updated Air Marshals if they travel in pairs one usually sits in the front and the other sits in the back

The moveable aisle armrest is only partially a safety feature. I doubt you will ever see it mentioned in a flight attendant safety demonstration but use of the arm rest release button may help prevent a gouged leg when getting out of your seat. On the other hand, if you leave it up to gain room, you might get your elbow struck by the beverage cart. A bit of a trade off.
BS on the air horn. mechanics, use the landing light to communicate with the captain. The hooks on the wings are for maintenance and arms on aisle lift for the handicap.. i’ve never seen handrails, but there’s always nodules next to the emergency door for the blind.
“The an-225” shows the an-124. Also it’s Mriya not Mariah. Say triple 7 instead of seven seven seven and also there is no such thing as a tarmac, it’s just the runway and taxiway
It showed a 4-engined Antonov and then a 6-engined one as if they were the same plane.
@@JulianJLWbut the thing is that they are not the same plane
@@cerealeggvr6942 Yes, that was exactly my point, that the video shows a plane with 4 engines and a plane with 6 engines (which clearly can't be the same plane!) as if they were the same plane.
Tarmac or tarmacadam is a road construction technique that used a mixture of tar (or asphalt) over crushed rock. Most modern airports and many roads use concrete, with or without a "protective" covering of tar or asphalt, but in the early days of flight tarmac was easier to lay down for runways and, much later, taxiways to hangers and airline terminals. Suggest you be less pedantic and simply enjoy the show.
Age is not a number. Age is a word!
Yes
Age of an aircraft does matter. Aluminum has a fatigue limit meaning it wears out over time and will eventually crack/break.
Suba divers carry tanks of high pressure compressed air, unless the are deep divers which carry an extra tank of nitrogen for mixed gas, NEVER PURE OXYGEN

Nice video! When you travel west (back in time), it should be called "Jet Lead", since you're leading in time. One of the most irritating things is when someone walking down the aisle during the night grabs and yanks your seatback while passing. I avoid it unless I lose my balance.
This eye-opening video delves into the fascinating world of aviation, revealing hidden features and lesser-known facts about airplanes. It's a reminder that there's always more to discover, even in the skies above!
From secret compartments to advanced technologies, this video showcases the incredible engineering behind these metal birds. It's a testament to the dedication and innovation of the aviation industry.
Knowledge is power, and understanding how airplanes work and the features they contain is not just intriguing but essential for anyone who loves to travel. 🌍✈
Kudos to the creators for shedding light on these secrets. It's a reminder that the world of aviation is full of surprises! 🛫💡
do u like airplanes?
I am in Thailand
LoL when I heard that airplanes have a horn, I immediately thought of them sneaking up on birds in the air
I did catch a sky marshal while on duty. It took me a minute to process that he was a government official.
I have never heard a ground-crew call horn that sounds like the " Staten Island Ferry"!!
I'm glad that age is just a number ONLY in the airplane world
C-141 and C-130 are two versatile airplanes. Both can be used for cargo or a combination of cargo and passengers or cargo and aeromedical evacuation. Just remember an airplane taking fresh vegetables and fruit to Alaska are going to be cold!
7:10 Actually, SCAT Airlines operates the Antonov An-2, which is older than the Boeing 737-200. Correct me if i am wrong!

i remember flying in a A350 and asking what those LEDs were to a flight attendant, she told me it was for the jet lag. Real good idea
The detachable cabin is the worst idea, 1. it would most likely kill the passengers and 2. it will always kill the pilots
Amen.
Literally.
Why would it kill the pilots?
@@JulianJLW Because the dramatic change in weight and aerodynamics of the plane would make it uncontrollable
I think that they just hit a button that jets them out and then they parachute down.
@@hapi705 Bruh, look at how many planes fly everyday, all those planes have need at least 4 very expensive jettison seats with parachutes with cabins that are able to open all the way instantly and all pilots would have to be trained how to do this and how it will feel. Plus when the passengers get detached they wouldn't have any air, water, energy until they reached the ground, which would be a long time because of the surface area and the parachutes. The fuselage would also go upright and make everyone fall the one side and crush each other.
airplane tires are also filled with Nitrogen and not air ... as Nitrogen heats up less than air does . Detachable cabin sounds interesting ...
And also during fire, tired do not provide more oxygen to feed the fire.
I got to experience the Airbus' lighting trick on my trip in 2022 to Dublin, Ireland. The lighting changes were so subtle they didn't stand out. But I most definitely did not get jet lag at all..I arrived in Dublin refreshed after only a very short nap on the aircraft. (I departed from Los Angeles at around 9pm. Pacific time.)
Plane goes choo choo!
The Little Airplane That Could! 😂
You can tell how old a plane is if there are ash trays in the arm rests and bathrooms
As an aircraft maintenance technician (engineer in Europe)Even New aircraft have ashtrays at the lavs(restrooms)it is also a no-go item if they are missing or damaged because if someone were to smoke there there has to be a safe place to put the butt
Ash trays remain required in toilets to avoid the waste bin igniting
@@paulgerrard9227 mostly ment the arm rests but you are correct
the plane in the thumbnail is so happy
I worked as a flight attendant fro 34 years. On 9/11, I was on a layover in Manchester, England. Just like citizens around the world, all of us were in shock. I did work for American Airlines, not retired for ten years. As for your comments on air marshalls, I can tell you this. At least 50% of your "facts" were 100% INCORRECT. Another 25% were partially INCORRECT. Now I will say that I am very glad you got that much information WRONG. That is good news. Safe travels.
synopsis: "The less time I spend stuck in a metal tube with 100 strangers, the better".
I never realized the curve on the overhead compartment was a handrail!
Air Marshals are NEVER referred to as Sky Marshals. Thats a former FAA Organization pre 911 of only a few folks. Also, they do sit togeather at times and sit in front of the plane because duty is to protect the flight deck, no engage passengers blocking the way to the cockpit.
Air Marshals ARE referred to as Sky Marshals. Maybe not officially, but people that don't know, or more importantly don't care if there is a difference, sometime do refer to them as Sky Marshals.
I'm too short to reach those hand rails- so passengers have to live with me grabbing their headrests
Can we have a moment of silence for the original mighty Antonov AN-225 Mirya. 😔
