That's heatbreaking, imagine joining A war expecting to be killed or shot down and instead you die from getting your boot trapped on an antenna, what even are the chances of that ?
The rudder command should hav been, “Right hard rudder!” Followed by, “Shift your rudder…Left hard rudder!” because, unlike a car, it is the ship’s stern is what reacts first & most to rudder commands because the ship’s propellers are directly forward of each of the rudder’s … yielding almost instant response.
Somebody should have been measuring and monitoring wind speed. They don't just chuck airplanes out to test it. The second plane had a bit more takeoff room than the first. If the helmsman had been hearing and obeying that pilot, the command as given would have just sent the ship sliding sideways across the plane. Ships steer from the back.
This film is extremely historically accurate even though it seems like a typical far fetched Emmerich film. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this really did happen
No one knew the situation considering it was war and time was crucial, even so the losses were still unfortunate, many victims in the world war had not even stepped on the battlefield yet
Helmsman would not have been in touvh with pilots at all. Also they would have been maintaining a certain speed so this wouldnt ever really happen. Also also, during this time sailors throughout the ship would be using sound powered radios and the helmsman would not be able to make actual rudder adjustments. all the helm did was send a signal to the engine room who would then turn the rudder from there, often manually. so that aircraft , in an absurdly bad chain of events, wouldve been fully run over by the ship due to not being able to turn in time.

Hollywood trying to use drama over accuracy ruins most films these days. The first pilot would not be still applying power after releasing the brakes and beginning to roll, and the second pilot would not kills his energy by trying to rotate before its v1 when there’s still runway left. Just depict it properly, there’s plenty of drama to be had. It almost as bad as fast and furious movies where the racing driver upshifts 9 times on a six speed gear box 😂😆
The movie midway was one of the most realistic depictions of the Pacific war as proven by war experts and some veterans, tho some parts dismay the veterans. Like using an American Carrier for the Japanese. People mistake war as "everyone is ready" it's war. No more explaining. This accident happened in real life, West (The pilot who has he's plane stalled and hit by the Enterprise) had the same fate but he almost got out. Drama wise that's the reality of war, not everything is cool and even the slightest mistake will get you, and almost everysingle legendary story that is true in ww2 is very dramatic.
Damn near all the events of Midway were portrayed as told by the sailors of the Enterprise and the like. The only things that were changed were minor things for the sake of time constraints... Yes... the real Battle of Midway was as Hollywood as it could get in real life. This incident did happen, though it played out differently, a Betty did try to ram the Enterprise when that dude shot it down in the backseat of a Dauntless, the Betty barely missing it and cutting off the planes tail, Best's group were indeed the main characters for a while by finding and following the Arashi after she was distracted by USS Nautilus. Maybe do some of your own research before claiming this film's historical accuracy is trash.
What’s even more frightening is how pilots in the Atlantic took off from a heaving deck. They had to time their brakes off roll so the ship dropped away as the plane hit V1. Then they had to get back with the ship’s stern moving up and down by 60 feet.
@@LocalTofuSeller Its may be accurate from a "grand scheme of things" perspective, but as an aviator, its the details that grind my gears. Aviation films ought to have real airplanes, not CGI made by animators who don't know that control surfaces are supposed to move, or that Dauntless divebombers didn't successfully dogfight Zeros. As a pilot, this movie was unwatchable.
Love the people going “this would never happen so unrealistic” when this even actually happened almost as seen I believe there was a survivor if I recall but the pilot died because he got caught on the plane when it went under.
No, it's because jet fighters require much more speed and space for a takeoff. Also, ww2 fighters were much slower, so you could eject by opening the cockpit and jumping out, which is impossible on modern supersonic jet fighters.
The worst thing is they actually tried to make the events in this movie as historically accurate as possible...only for the shit CGI to turn viewers off...
I understand why they used CGI. Not enough planes equipment in usable condition and ships of the era survived. At least in unmodified state. So CGI was needed. But the CGI team most likely was under staffed due to corporate not caring. The director cared but corporate exsecutives always got to interfere with things
@@pixelknight-_-9812 Special effects exist for THAT reason....not to film every shot in front of a green screen. Say what you will about Pearl Harbor, but they did rent actual, flying P-40s, Spitfires, B-25s, Zeroes (replicas, but good ones). They borrowed a modern aircraft carrier (made some cosmetic changes), and actually launched real bombers and fighters from a real ship. Special effects enhanced the action, not replaced it.
The 'recent' Midway movie was a pretty crappy effort to turn an important historical and highly cinematic series of events into a pre-canned videogame. I blame director, writers, and actors in that order. I didn't hate it enough to remember it more better, but when I knew who the director was, my expectations were set low.
@@e.g.o.m.e Why would the bomb care about the water? It hasn't even armed itself yet, nor would I imagine that water would provide enough resistance to trigger the impact fuze even if it'd been released from the plane and had time to arm itself.
Actually the primary reason was to be able to launch and recover aircraft much more quickly, which is why the canted deck coincides with the equipping of catapults. However, this is another reason, yes.
US Carriers deck are flat because they use catapults. Same with other catapult carriers I assume. The Ski Jump as it called is for not catapult carriers. I don’t know if that works with prop planes though.
This was all dramatic license so that the audience could could understand what was going on. In real life, understanding what was happening, shouting the necessary orders would have been passed through a number of people.
This movie was fantastic! But it is hard to think about that some pilots got into these accidents every once in a while. Just being crushed against the hull and water pressure is a terrible thought.
Hmm... Dive brakes, perhaps? Perforated sheet metal protuberances that come out from the wings to slow the plane in a dive... I'm not sure, will have to watch it again.
Everything about this video, other than planes sink if ran over by a carrier, is stupid and wrong. The officer in charge of flight ops knows the speed of the carrier BEFORE they launch aircraft, they don't have to wait for someone to take off first to figure that out and they don't need that pilot to then yell back ship handling directions after he has taken off. The people who did these things for real 80+ years ago were a lot smarter than the people making movies about them today.
If you actually did your research youd know this was an actual real event that happened, only in real life he died because of his foot being stuck to the radio antenna when he got out, getting him dragged under.

You heard him, the CV isn't going against the wind or going fast enough. That's the little bonus that makes possible for planes to fly with such a little runway
The way that CGI goes though is killing me... The only time the aircraft would *ascend* while its nose is down when some heavy ass airburst from below happens to hit it... But that would only really happen if it got caught up in an explosion or a tornado probably lmao Unfortunately, it's still better than some other similar films.
The first plane luckily made it to the skies and that also after touching the ocean water,, But the second one was not that much fortunate enough and met with a 😮 disaster.
Fun fact, that is wrong. Catapults did already exist at the time. They existed since the late 1920s/early 1930s. But they were not that powerful, and they needed a long time to prepare for each individual plane, so it would take you much, much longer to launch your air ground when using the catapults. We now use catapults because the takeoff distances of jets are so long that there really isn't any other option. You can take off with a ski jump while using most of the length of the flight deck, but that limits your maximum fuel and weapons loadout (unless you do a F-35B rolling takeoff like on the British Queen Elizabeth class carriers). Back then takeoff distances were so short that it was possible to do so without assistance, and without needing more than half of the flight deck. Today you would need more than half.
