My favorite aviation story is still the time I was on a seemingly normal domestic flight, that had already been delayed a few hours, and then around when we should’ve landed, I realized the plane was just in a holding pattern, for a lot longer than it should’ve been. The pilot then said over the PA that the landing was delayed because there was “*something* on the runway” (said in slightly annoyed tone) I was incredibly confused why the pilot sounded more irritated than anything, since I immediately assumed the worst, like a previous plane had crashed. After a while, the pilot said we were clear, and we landed, he never explained the delay. Then my brother (who always wanted to be a pilot, and worked in an airport for a while) came to pick me up, and he was laughing incredibly hard. Turns out he was listening to the ATC radio signal, and the “*something*” that was on the runway… was a possum.
Oof
At least they didn't kill the critter 🤣
In a holding pattern for hours for an animal someone could easily shoo off the runway in 10 minutes?
@@abbycross90210 the holding pattern was at most only one hour (I remember that because I barely finished a 50 minute Mythbusters episode before we were preparing to land) The only hours long wait was earlier, before we even took off. Besides, they had only just spotted the possum for a second and then lost track of it, so they didn’t know if it was on the runway or not
I experienced that in Indonesia, we flew to Lombok and were flying around I thought we were hijacked because that’s were my mind goes immediately😂 But there was a dog on the runway!
When I realized that it was 46 minutes long, I said I was only going to watch 20 minutes. I'm now 32 minutes into it. It's extremely informative. He discusses so many aspects of airplanes and piloting that you never think about. This is my new favorite Breakdown.
It was a WHAT now? O.O I swear, it didn't feel anywhere near as long.
It took much longer for me as I had a 1 minute long ad every 3-5 minutes...
@@sbritton1313 I feel your pain. CZcams is awful now with sooooo many ads.
I started looking at the comments right at 32 minutes as well, but it's when I noticed his striking blue eyes and realized he was absolutely gorgeous. I'm straight so I just had to read comments of other straight dudes saying how pretty this dude is because I get it and also I would probably have to just bang this dude in a totally straight way but he's way out of my league.
I feel the opposite. It's so long winded. The editor could've really trimmed this down. We watch the scene, then the pilot just regurgitates what we just watched. Did we really have to state that sully looked at his co-pilot in bewilderment?
This pilot did a fantastic job of talking us through these details in a clear and straightforward way. I'd be happy to see another one with him.
he does videos talking about aviation stuff with his girlfriend on her channel MariaThePilot
@@tuggaonthehudson no 74gear is a different guy, his channel is awesome too
it's what we're trained to do as pilots, communicate effectively, and make good decisions. the flying part is easy, being human is hard.
@@qwertyno100 I like his channel.
There was a lot of information presented in this video, and it was presented well. Good stuff, although I wish that guy who did the fighter pilot breakdowns for GQ (Matthew "Whiz" Buckley) would do one of these.
This guy is great! He's excellent at communicating to laypeople; he provided so much detailed information but it never felt long winded. No arrogance or attitude, just lots of passion. Really enjoyed this breakdown, I learned quite a lot.
Oh he definitely excels at communicating to lay people. Heavy on the lay
He really needed to talk about the autopilot in “Airplane!”
@@sarahutch6413 hahaha. Perfect!
And he is so dam’ good looking
Isn’t he? What a really likeable guy
Everytime he says, "Before... But now... " I feel like a year is being added to my life. It's really nice to know these things especially where you have fear of flying on an aircraft. The pilot did a very good job in explaining too.
Love Sully. That happened on my second day of a New York holiday, it was the most surreal moment of my life seeing that plane floating in the Hudson. Sully is an absolute hero, terrible the way the airline treated him afterwards. If you haven't seen it, see it!
One of my aunt's friends was part of that the NTSB investigation, and the investigation went down nothing like it did in the movie. The investigators had to do what they had to do under any aircraft accident and find out what happened, what was done, and what could have been done instead to avoid it. They all thought of Sully as a hero and said Sully was extremely cooperative in the investigation. Sully in that investigation helped bring about a lot of training and procedure changes in the event of situations like that.
@@SeaGLGaming That's what they say now, but the fact remains, I've seen Sully on chat shows saying the movie is pretty accurate. Right down to them trying to pass of the 39th attempt at an aborted simulated landing, to look like the first try.
I mean Sully had an advantage. He learned problem solving on Apollo 13.
I couldn’t stop laughing at this
AND he was cast away for four years after his FedEx plane crashed.
And he was a child in a grown man's body after making a wish
And he fought in the Vietnam war
And he was stuck in an airport terminal for a long time.
Sully had so much criticism at the time, but what he did was outstanding. The amount of pilots who simulated the same path and said "he could've made it", or those who commented on his state of mind, was astounding to me. Sully made every second count, and I firmly believe if he could've made it, he would've made it. The shear knowledge and skill it took to land that plane, in the water, without killing a passenger, without taking out any boats, and without rolling the airplane, was absolutely phenomenal.
I wish more people talked about the air traffic controller, who probably also had the worst day of his life, sitting there in silence, thinking he's lost a plane and all its passengers on his watch, while sully is deciding he has to land an airplane into a river.
The ATSB wasn’t nearly as hostile in real life as they were in the movie.
@@SujanraAcoma Fortunately. There was quite a fight between producers of the movies and Sully and...?? I forgot his name 😞 on how mean to make them for the sake of Hollywood. It ended with them being a little mean, but not borderline-evil as was originally intended. Sully and J knew that the guys were simply doing their job with the simulation and the engine, so they didn’t want the audience to hate them by hyperbolizing their actions.
I had first read this while watching, I had thought the pilots didn’t make it. I’m so relieved they did
It's always guilty until proven innocent. Military and mostly civilian.
@@SujanraAcoma
Heck, in an interview, an NTSB official admitted “no one wanted to sully “Sully”.
But they had to go thru procedures and cross every T and dot every I.
Sully caused a new chapter to be entered pilots hand book....what to do in low altitude engine failure 😨.
Before, there was only a chapter in the steps on high altitude engine failure.
I love how they started practicing water landings after sully proved it could be done. Until he did it they thought there’s no point, it’s impossible.
No they simply didn’t think it was necessary because it had happened like 2 times
It had been done before, it was very possible and known to be possible, just exceedingly rare and unlikely. At a guess I'd say it was implemented following the incident simply because it happened and was so high profile.
@@thisiscait Maybe that was it. Because it was so rare and unlikely, maybe there wasn’t much training time associated with such a scenario. But after a few incidents happened so close together, they wanted to make sure every new pilot could have enough training to comfortably pull that off.
It was actually the crash of a hijacked Boeing 777 that started them training for water landings. The pilot made a mistake ditching the plane with no fuel. Search for the clip on CZcams, one of the airline crash shows covered it, part of the ntsb report was that they needed better information and procedures for landing in water .
@@peterf.229 He did an amazing job landing that plane! He made very intentional choices while flying and landing while dealing with hijackers. The plane broke apart, which is not unexpected, but quite a few people survived. Ditching in the ocean is harder than on a river, and even harder with a gun to your head. .This show does a great job recreating what happened and interviews the captain. czcams.com/video/uby1a9SIlP4/video.html

The stewardess' chanting in Sully is one of the few scenes in any disaster movies that really get me. That movie had such an eery 'this really happened just like that' feel that it really hits you.
This is because everyone survived to tell the story how it actually happened.
Fun (and a bit of a useless fact): accoridng to a passenger testimony, when the "Brace for impact" instruction came, many of the passengers had no idea what he was talking about because they didn't pay attention to the safety briefing before take off. The flight attendants didn't have much time to make the passengers execute something they should already know.
@@DocuzanQuitomos I've been in a plane that has had engine malfunctions, and we had to brace for impact. I think it's a pretty common command for planes that are going to go down quickly.
@@laurenleslie1080 exactly this.. I mean, what else would the word "Brace for impact" could possibly mean in an airplane that is about to crash.? you are in a whole kind of a dumbass if you thought that you should dance or sing after hearing that word lol..
same
About Sully, I don't think many people took enough appreciation of the radio controller, his breaking down when he thought he lost the plane really made me teary, not a position I would have liked to be in.
I know, man... I felt so bad for him and seriously wanted to give him a hug...
Air traffic controllers have insanely stressful jobs. They have maximum 4 hour shifts, mandatory breaks, etc. it’s pretty crazy!
every single time i rewatch/hear either the movie or any irl footage, it brings me to tears the miracle of having those professionals pull such an epic win!
@@emily.g.929 I’m so glad I noped out of the ATC training offer I received; I scored well in a test high schools gave (I think it’s past tense because I’m an Old) to test composure under stress, and the government used it to recruit for jobs they had desperate need for… it was good money, great benefits, and I knew that, good test response aside, one crash under my watch would just incapacitate me for..life, probably. I have so much respect for the folks who can do that job.
My husband is ATC, it is a very stressful job.
A pilot friend actually called us around midnight after watching Sully to say we needed to watch it. She said it was the best, most realistic movie depicting an aviation accident and the aftermath she had ever seen.
In real life those poor snakes would be just scared and probably find a dark small spot to crawl into to feel safe
Nope not really
They were revved up with pheromones to be super aggressive... I didn't write the script but there it is :)
That's why we have movies, where everything is on 11! And still some take it seriously! Hollywood has ruined generations! kek
@@androgynousmaggot9389 no it just demonizes another animal that’s vital to the ecosystems they live in
@@draggy6544 Make it more obvious you just watched the wildlife expert breakdown
One of the things I appreciate most about Sully is the lack of music during the crash. It makes the scene much more intense and seem more realistic
I find music is quite often detrimental and a kind of compensatory signposting to tell the viewers.
@@infinitesimotel as much as I love music, I do agree with you. Sometimes I'm annoyed by the music playing in a certain scene, and some of my favourite movies don't have music unless it's essential to the story.
@@CyclingM1867 Definitely, music does have it's place
Scene: *police chasing airplane*
Viktor: Pause. Perfect picture of a tug. 👍
Lol it’s funny because in the real story of Argo they had already cleared the gates and nobody was chasing the embassy crew. So the tug would’ve been the most interesting part of that whole scene in real life 😅
that with cars is the nonsense of Hollywood

One of the best Breakdowns I've ever seen. This guy knows the stuff, he's informative and doesn't clown around. More of this, please.
imagine if everyone operated their personal vehicles to this degree of respect and sense of responsibility
I can't believe I've watched 46 minutes with this gentleman and I didn't even notice how fast they went. He should be a teacher!
Why would he ?? He's already a pilot haha
I didn’t even notice until I saw this, I’m amazed.
Same. I noticed because I set an alarm for class time.
He was a pleasure to listen to. I learned so much.
Maybe he teach flying
Him calling Denzel's character unprofessional in Flight makes sense, since the guy was supposed to be a massive drug addict that spent all night on a bender hours before the flight
Exactly! Denzel is the greatest
Yep which is why so may average people misinterpreted the plot. Average people don't know he was being unprofessional. Not only that but the movie is about addiction... The ending was great because he finally submits and accepts hes powerless to alcohol.
It actually made me appreciate the scene more when I thought about that.
I was about to comment the same thing. There’s a good chance the screenwriter consulted with a pilot in order to write the character as unprofessional.
I really love how the movie is called "Flight" because it references both airplanes and ordering a "flight" of alcohol. I honestly think that the film is much more about alcoholism than airplanes, but it still has an intense crash scene anyway.
How has this man never seen “Airplane!”? It should be mandatory viewing in every pilot curriculum…valuable lessons in that movie!
When Striker hears about this the s**ts gonna hit the fan.
Airplane the movie is too realistic, so there will be nothing to criticize.
Every pilot in America has seen it. He must be at a foreign carrier. 🤷🏻♂️
That movie looks that it's made for clowns 😂😂😂
It is indeed mandatory to have watched it before they can issue the pilot's license. Both Airplane! and Top Gun. This faker daker pilot must be a paid actor.
After that day Sully is still remembered as one of the greats all the families are still telling the stories to their kids their grandkids of how a pilot saved their life, a hero without a cape massive respect to Mr Sullenberger.
I just sat through this whole thing and now I'm fully convinced I could fly a plane with no further instruction
Colin, well you’d well and truly comprehend that once an aircraft is in the air, a civilised human would be able to take control... you don’t fly a plane in the air, it flies itself.
"My plane"
I like the way Sully says that in the movie.
Get a pilot license first please.
Um no you have no clue
@@Coliwoggin He'd be able to fly a plane, absolutely. Not land or take off though.

@@Bluefrog757 roger Roger
15:00 It wasn't so much the "number" of birds, as the size of the birds. These were large Canadian geese, not the chickens they test engines with. Two hit each engine. Most importantly, one went through the core of each engine, which took the engines out. Had the cores is not taken a direct hit, the engines might have still generated some thrust.
Yep. One Canadian Goose can weigh and take up the same size as 4 large chickens. My family likes to hunt geese and other game birds.
He's a natural at this, I could listen to his narration for hours.
Hes actually swedish what an amazing accent
Sully is one of my favorite movies. Sully is indeed a true hero, but poor co-pilot Jeff doesn't get enough credit. It was a team effort, and Jeff is a hero too. That scene where the other pilots try to get to the airport in a simulation always makes me so nervous. It's terrifying to see what could have happened if Sully didn't make the decision he did.
Was Sully really a «hero»? He did his job (albeit under hard conditions), which he was trained and highly experiened to do. Being a hero means putting yourself in great risk in order save lives. Sully did no such thing. Still, he did an excellent job

1. A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
Sadly, people want a single name to associate with any good achievement.
You are forgetting the cabin crew who got everyone out safely.
BiRuGiTo one of whom had a serious leg laceration.
Sully said in an interview when he told everyone to "brace for impact" he knew the most common thing to say in an emergency was 'brace' but since they would be hitting the water it would be a greater impact than hitting a runway or landing strip so he decided to include the word 'impact' as an imminent warning for how severe the landing was going to be. Luckily through his phenomenal piloting they landed quite smoothly and everyone got off the plane. Truly a great pilot and awesome guy.
I am a very nervous flyer. This explanation of how flying works and all the experience and training that pilots have was very helpful to me. Love this guy. I wish he could be the pilot on every flight I take! Thank you great job.

It should be reason for revoking his license!😂
@@cyberpunkprussian
I 2nd this
How do you skip the 360 the plane makes in the movie "Flight"!?
Surely, you can't be serious?
At the end of the day, Captain Sully took the moral decision of putting at risk ONLY the souls on board of the plane instead of the souls on board AND all the souls in one of the most crowded cities in the world. What would have happened if they couldn't make it? Everybody in the plane would have died and probably tens or even hundreds in land would have died or being injured.
I absolutely love this guy and the way he explains things please bring him back.
the best part of sully, is the direction... pilots are trained never to lose their cool, and that's exactly how tom hanks and aaron ekhart play it... super cool, calm and quick. in the hands of a terrible director, they'd be screaming, relaying to flight control, yelling "PULL UP GODDAMMIT!!!!" it just really puts you in the cabin, as real is it could've been.
True that, also same thing with Captain Phillips
Or you can be Denzel Washington and land a plane after a shot of vodka and some cocaine.
Interestingly enough, that what happens with the Apollo 13 movie. It's exaggerating, it's hyping up. it over dramatises it simplifies(too much). It makes things long planned and accounted for in the real case happening last second for effect....
It's Hollywood at it's "best".
any movie without tacos is a waste of time
Angel That would be three shots of vodka. I love that movie!
Good times. Former ground crew here. This guy knows his stuff. Seems like one of the nicer less stuffy pilots.

You sound like one of the stuffy pilots the OP was talking about. XD
I love airplanes so much... They're like the biggest triumph of engineering, so cool and perfect! Sully's landing on the Hudson was caught on a camera btw, some security camera in the harbour caught it and it looks like a total perfect landing. It's so so so impressive!
I’d say rockets are the biggest triumph of engineering but airplanes are pretty cool as well
United 93, the actors playiing the pilots were both United Airlines pilots. Flying passenger flights to London then taking time off to film their scenes. Thanks for your video! Really enjoyed it!

Swedish accent ;)
I knew he was swedish! 😂 i looked through all the coments to cinfirm this 😂
Fun Fact: When he was talking about "Flight" he mentions an insecure first officer being too scared to correct his more experienced Captain. Before all airlines globally switched to communication in English, this behavior caused dozens of crashes of Korean flights because contradicting your older and more experienced superior does against the entirety of Korean culture. This wasn't discovered until the switch to all English communication and American or European pilots would listen in on Korean flight crew comms and finally discovered captains making mistakes that would never be corrected by their XO.

This was such a great video! He did a great job explaining and I'm happy he went into detail about so many different things. I didn't realize the video was 45 mins long until after I finished it. It makes me feel a little more comforted about flying. Also his reaction to Airplane! is hilarious.

I can’t believe he didn’t comment on the part where Denzel flies the plane upside down!!! Perfect opportunity for him to rip it apart
It's not as far fetched as you may think. Alaska flight 261 had a catastrophic failure of their stabilizer causing the plane to pitch down uncontrollably. They attempted to fly inverted to regain control, unsuccessfully.
@@Teh_Random_Canadian interesting!
Anyone really can fly it upside down, but its just not allowed for obvious purposes.
It's perfectly possible to do that, airline pilots just never do it because it's dangerous and stupid. One pilot did it without permission at an airshow some years ago, but was fired for obvious reasons.
@@Teh_Random_Canadian I thought there was so much going on during that flight that they didn't even realize they were inverted.

It was nice to see you explain a little about the hand signals. I was in the navy and had my plane captain qualification, being out on the line directing, launching, and catching aircraft were my favorite things to do, period. It's been almost 20 years and I still remember all the hand signals.
As a pilot myself, I have to say Viktor did an outstanding job of keeping it simple (better than I ever could). Great television, I enjoyed every minute.
I like how he actually reviews "Airplane!" seriously :P
"During a normal flight, you wouldn't sweat like that". NO ONE sweats like that!
Hold my beer...
clearly he never saw Airplane before
"Don't call me Shirley."
Especially not Prince Andrew
My 1st thought was "what do you mean you haven't seen AIRPLANE?" :D
I met sully while working on his aircraft in Oakland shook his hand and I said "It's an honor to meet you, how much fuel do you need?"
This is one of the best Break down videos ever! This guy explains everything so well.
I love that he's breaking down Airplane!
Was hoping he'd comment on Denzel's inverted flight move to deal with the stuck elevator trim worm gear.

Nervous flier here. This video was amazing and the level of explanation was somehow comforting. Really impressive analysis and information!
Nerves are common and ok, but you’re pretty safe up there. All the systems have backups, constant checks... I’ve been on over a dozen long-distance flights in my life, and not a single problem.
Saaaame.
I was waiting the whole time for you to talk about how the pilot in "Flight" rolled the plan basically upside down, to land and save everyone and I just wanted to know if that was actually realistic 😆
He also keeps saying that you wouldn’t NORMALLY do these things or it’s not professional but that’s the whole point of the movie. He drink during the flight
@@ye_ole_nade5299 I know that, I was just wondering if that's something that could actually potentially happen or if it's all just Hollywood. I mean I guess you wouldn't ever have a drunk Pilot but idk, in the movie they said they had other pilots simulating the same problems and that they all crashed and killed everyone on board
No it’s not look up CW Lemoine he analyzed this same clip and said they’d just be a smoking hole lol
@@kellifavazza8021 I think it was just a very specific circumstance in that time period where it was possible
As others have posted, the failure portrayed in Flight was based on a real failure in the horizontal stabilizer trim causing loss of pitch control. In the actual event, the crew actually tried to invert the plane in an effort to maintain altitude. Sadly, they were not successful and it crashed killing all on board. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261
wow, gq really chose the right guy for this “break down” ~ pilot fors seems very knowledgeable, very professional + of course gq would chose someone very handsome! great video! thank you pilot viktor fors + gq! 👨🏻✈️👏🏻
14:53 For testing they don't actually shoot frozen birds into the engines, that would falsify the test since they'd be harder frozen. They're at "normal" temperature, it's just called the frozen chicken test to make sure everyone understands that the chickens are dead beforehand ^^
Thanks, when he said that bit I was thinking i hope there's more to that phrase than it sounds, good to have it clarified.
thanks for clarifying. i figured, since we use the same terminology for feeding animals.
Mythbusters goes thru this, because they misunderstood the first time they did the test!
The shots through the windshield in myth busters scared me , but I learned they actually used frozen chickens 🤣
@@peterf.229 Pretty sure that was After they couldn't break it with room temperature birds.
My father would have loved this video. Thank for the content. He was the Quality Assurance Manager of Flight Test at Boeing. Managed the 747, 777, and was on the 777LR flight around the world. Rest in Heaven Papa.
Loved watching this and having your feedback on these great movies! Do more please, so interesting!! Thanks
I love him so much and could listen to him talk about being a pilot for the rest of my life..
Hats off to this guy, he dropped a lot of awesome insights and knowledge.
Yeah, but he took Airplane! seriously!??!!!
Of all the 'breakdown' by experts videos, this was the most informative with clear and concise explanations.
I like how for “Flight” he was acknowledging that Washington’s character was supposed to be a unprofessional a-hole that constantly breaks procedures, while still pointing out every way the he’s breaking procedure.
Thank you for explaining crosswind tolerance being different for different planes. That makes complete sense once you know about it.
This is super informative and very professional. I've always had an interest in aviation, but this just proved how amazing pilots are.
I remember when Sully's plane went into the Hudson and one of the passengers saw "a man with a clipboard asking names." She had no idea that was the guy that had just saved all their asses. Somebody nominate this guy for President.
Nothing was funnier to me than the "OH" when the landing gear broke off as he was watching "airplane!" 🤣🤣
I love this guy!! He explains everything so perfectly
4:33
“Landing gears are actually designed for landing”
Best quote 😂
Fantastic analysis by Mr. Fors: very knowledgeable, clear, and concise, as well as charismatic and humorous. I hope he gets to meet Mr. Sullenberger someday!
That take off scene in Argo will never not make me nervous.
Argo?
@@TesterAnimal1 yes, Thank you.
Excellent video! Learned a lot. Thanks.
While Flight was an interesting film more centered around Densels character it was a very hollywood drama and a little haunting remembering Alaska airline flight 261 and the portrayal of the FO was embarrassing. Whereas every time i watch Sully and hear the cabin crew in the back yelling head down stay down it's the only film that makes me tremble and sends shivers down my spine.
Watch 7500
"I experienced people clapping after a smooth landing" oh he definetely had Italians on board
Jamaicans too! I never understood why people stop doing that. As if the act of defying gravity to fly in a metal box in the sky is lost on them. 😒 it never will be for me
or Russians))
Please, this is soo Colombian! Lol!
Not just Italians do that
Lol haha Haitians do this also
No matter how many times I've seen it, I get chills watching the Sully clips. Hollywood couldn't write a better story.
this guy gave so much interesting and thorough information, I could've listened to him for hours!
He really needed to talk about the autopilot in “Airplane!”
Otto was an underrated character in Airplane.
Shame he did not see the movie, it is a must see!
I love the fact that he was shown a slapstick comedy, apparently without being told that it's a slapstick comedy and he starts off ernestly trying to review whats going on professionally. I mean, I think he realised what was going on part way through, but that was a little cruel by GQ. :D
He's a pilot, I'm 100% sure he as at least heard of the movie even if he hasn't actually seen it. He just decided to explain it seriously anyway
Surely your not saying he never saw that movie before.
@@scruffylooking2184 I don't think he had, and don't call me Shirley.
Yes! These were the comments I was looking for!!
@@scruffylooking2184 I just commented about that, and don't call me Shirley!
It was sooo interesting to watch and to learn stuff that normally you don't even notice. Thank you!
These videos are brilliant. Well done and thank you.
Have you ever had to ask the passenger if they speak Jive? 🤣
Fo sho, my man!
I think this was one of the best breakdowns so far.
My mum's a commercial pilot and I remember back in the late 90's I was allowed to sit on the jump seat for one her flights. An unforgettable experience. Sadly, never to be had again since 9/11.
you did an awesome job on this..very educational. I agree...Sully was my favorite flight movie.
He did such a good job explaining everything and made it pretty clear. Totally gave good facts, would definitely like to see another video with him. Nice job Mr. Fors. 👍
Watching Sully I was bawling my eyes out when they started saying “brace-brace-brace” and preparing for impact. Can you imagine how incredibly terrifying that must have been... I feel so sorry for the trauma these poor people went through. I cried again just overhearing them in this clip.
I cry every time during that part too. The tension just reaches a breaking point Have no idea how the pilots were able to stay that calm while crashing.
The crash scenes were very tense. i had to keep calm by reminding myself that everyone survived.
You seem to cry alot. Conserve water.
Total hats off to Sully's cabin crew. Calm professionals who were dedicated to their passengers.
The first officer portrayed in the United 93 was actually my cousin who is an actual pilot in real life. He stayed with me in the UK where some of the filming took place. He had also known of the real pilot LeRoy Homer who had tragically died with the passengers, and flight crew with the hijacking that took place. The film was extremely authentic as the majority of the people in the movie were actual mirrors of air and ground crews.
