00:25
a listen in to their report that really loud explosion which startled a lot of people and then
00:29
they just started seeing basically what they thought was a plane falling from the sky
00:33
passenger barbara underwood was seated with her husband near the wing when she says she saw the
00:40
engine shaking all of a sudden there was just a big boom and the ring around the engine flew off

02:18
now the footage of it on fire the engine on fire you would just assume you're not going to make it down right
02:25
you would just assume you're not going to make it down
02:28
we're as good as toast barb
02:30
here's i guess my question is is there that much flames on the inside of an airplane engine
02:36
that you just never see
02:38
i think no that caught fire there's no flames
02:40
that caught fire
02:42
i think there i think there is flames
02:44
i thought there would be flames
02:45
i think there is flames
02:46
okay well we have an airline pilot here
02:48
okay perfect
02:49
andrew you're an airline pilot
02:50
yes
02:52
okay first of all you wanted to clarify the heavy mayday
02:55
yeah so they call mayday for a ton of different reasons
02:59
one of them being obviously mechanical failure which this one obviously was
03:03
but um most of the time at least in most of the time in my field if i have ever called it
03:08
it was for passenger health
03:10
we assume when they said heavy mayday means it was like it was a catastrophic failure
03:14
but heavy mayday refers to the weight of the plane right
03:17
yes yeah yeah it's anything over like a it's a gross weight that they consider it to be a heavy aircraft
03:24
right so that's what the heavy mayday is all about
03:27
oh yep
03:28
okay
03:28
yeah
03:30
we're about to die
03:31
well
03:31
yeah
03:32
i can hear the pilot saying me
03:35
i don't know why this is relaxing
03:38
we couldn't have just sat down and watched some tube
03:41
uh nate is another pilot that's joining us here hey nate
03:48
hey how's it going penis
03:50
penis are you impressed that they are all okay after seeing what happened or are you
03:54
that's what's the way it should have went no that's how it's supposed to go they train you
03:59
for all of that my uh my call was to clarify that last pilot's comment um heavy it wasn't
04:07
he wasn't saying heavy mayday he was saying his plane was heavy so
04:11
different airplanes said you know yeah
04:15
heavy and mayday were completely separate
04:18
right so each one is a its own command
04:21
yeah we got heavy and we got a mayday so as a trap
04:24
as the
04:25
yeah the air
04:26
air traffic controller
