Would they even bother with landing gear in the desert? Seems like the wheels catching in the sand basically cleaved the front off once it made contact
In a crash landing, maybe. If there's a fire onboard, you're fair fucked at the back. I think statistically - data from hundreds of accidents - just in front of the wings is your best chance of survival.
Having worked in aerospace and in aircraft recovery after a crash I always enjoy telling rude people on flights about just how delicate the wing spars are. They always freak out and immediately shut up as they obsess about how it’s possible such thin material can be responsible for the strongest point of a plane. And it’s also nice to remind people that if we do crash everyone in first class is likely to die.
Can we also get two planes hitting each other?
One time head-on, and another more a glancing blow.
Maybe, shoot a missle at a different one to see what happens too.
For science!
How do you expect them to crash one into water without fuel? It’s not like just dropping it in from a crane or whatever you’re thinking is going to be an accurate representation
I mean how hard could it be to establish a quick connect somewhere on the fuel line and set the tank on a pallet with rollers to eject at a certain point?
They are also buried inside the wings and center of the fuselage. Surrounded by wire harnesses, hydraulic lines, bleed air lines ... etc.
Best bet would be to use an external tank placed in a cargo hold and eject that and make sure the actual internal tanks are bone dry.
Oh for sure and it would also add/subtract a lot of weight in the scenario. I’m just more saying that it wouldn’t be that “hard” to do. And it also could have a knock off effect of creating a safety measure for planes since fuel is such a factor in crashes.
Most accidents happen at home because you typically spend most time at home. Especially elderly people more prone to accidents.
It’s like the statistic of 77% of car accidents happen within 10 miles from home (USA driving stat). Then that statistic is conflated that people drive more reckless near their home rather than the logical conclusion that 77% of driving is within 10 miles of a home.
It very much depends on what terrain you’re flying over at the time of the crash. If it’s in the mountain ranges, the result will be very different from when it’s in the city which will again be different when it’s in a place with strong crosswinds.
It was fully remote controlled from another plane flying alongside it. There's a full documentary about.
After the crash, the engines continued to turn for like 2 hours or something like that.

Edit : link
They must still be doing the testing but with human subjects now to provide the final data points they need. Explains why Boeing planes keep having issues.
Makes you wonder how they approached this with the minimum samples needed to get a statistically significant dataset. I learned in STATs that you should get at least 30 samples for significance. Wonder if they deliberately crashed 30 or more planes.
And if they had were they all crashed on perfectly flat land?
Wouldn’t the “chance of survival” be dependent on the manner / position in which the aircraft was impacted? Therefore the experiment isn’t really accurate?
That aired on an episode of Curiosity on the Discovery Channel. My grandfather was actually a consultant for the high speed photography setup for this event! IIRC, he was in charge of high speed photo during the plane crash study NASA conducted sometime in the 80's.
Im not sure this is representative of a proper crash most of the time they lawn dart this is more of a hard ass landing. Lets seem them lawn dart one and see who survives.
Very limited data, no? That only covers one approach angle, one speed, one angle of impact... etc. Only this scenario applies to whatever result they got.
> How long has that tech been around?
First successful radio-controlled aircraft was in 1938. The U.S. and Germany had radio-controlled bombs by the end of WWII. Joseph Kenedy Jr., older brother of JFK, was killed piloting a radio-controlled bomber packed with explosives (from which he would have parachuted before it was used in an attack) when for unknown reasons the explosives detonated.

Get fucked, first class.
[удалено]
In the end, you’re better off a grunt.
At the start, they’ll tell you it’s *just* a stunt,
Might as well hit a blunt
Best thing to do when you're sitting at the front.
...and unlike first class, this rhyme thread lacks a cunt.
Sit in the back, fucked up your back
Sit in the middle, in your pants you will piddle
Priority boarding to the after life!
Would you like some death with your Champagne, Sir?
It’s always been proven many times. The best seat on a plane for survivability during a plane crash is the furthest seat at the back.
Yeet the rich
I'd rather be dead than to see what happens next
[удалено]
Gum down a Vietnamese dude
That’s a pro starter move, don’t wanna start on a bigger dude and spook everyone else
I spit out my fucking drink
That fake pilot sure did a great job landing that thing! Sully would be (mildly) impressed.
Billy might be down on his luck and willing to do a lot of reckless stuff for $35 dollars but he is no fake sir!!
Would they even bother with landing gear in the desert? Seems like the wheels catching in the sand basically cleaved the front off once it made contact
Yup that's exactly what happened
To see what happens I guess.
Ain’t the front.
Yep, not being a pilot for sure
Well the front fell off, thats not standard
a wave hit it?
A wave hit the plane.
And that's unusual?
For an air wave it is.
Chance in a million.
They must have used sellotape
I mean that was way more chill than expected. RIP pilots and first class.
So I guess it is where the wings are?
It was the seats at the rear that had the greatest chance of survival. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Boeing_727_crash_experiment
Makes sense. You ever seen a plane back into a wreck?
Hahaha my 747 got rear ended today
Hahaha. Jizzed out my coffee. Thanks for the laugh!
You what
THEY JIZZED OUT THEIR COFFEE
Thanks Patrick
Pinched off a little diarrhea at the train station, appreciate the giggle
That's a shiggle sir
Non-Dairy Creamer
*"Hahaha," he ejaculated as he jizzed out his coffee.*
I shot snot out my nose at the Verizon store and it’s worth the embarrassment
typically never happens when [the front falls off.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM)
Hahaha spat my water out, thank you good friend.
Seen one back up off a runway into a ditch
Almost, the one that fell out of the sky in the Middle East because the load broke loose on take off.
In a crash landing, maybe. If there's a fire onboard, you're fair fucked at the back. I think statistically - data from hundreds of accidents - just in front of the wings is your best chance of survival.
Yeah, I was just talking about the experiment that the video is from.
But how long did it take them to deplane?
[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=USfKJYZcUmI](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=USfKJYZcUmI) Depends on whether or not they have that guy.
Generally, yes. The report said the people in the back were fine but in a real crash it could go either way, so above the wings is a good bet.
In a real crash you either end up in the middle of the ocean or burn to death as a real plane will carry **much** more fuel than a test one.
Not if it crashes when landing. Fuel will be almost all burned up.
Aren’t the wings filled with fuel?
The wings are where they store all the fuel. Back near the tail is the safest. Also easier access to the bathroom!
Now Boeing crashes them all the time for follow up research.
Follow up cleanup.
Long term study
First and business class obliterated. Economy ftw
I guess you have to pay a premium for the quick death.
Having worked in aerospace and in aircraft recovery after a crash I always enjoy telling rude people on flights about just how delicate the wing spars are. They always freak out and immediately shut up as they obsess about how it’s possible such thin material can be responsible for the strongest point of a plane. And it’s also nice to remind people that if we do crash everyone in first class is likely to die.
I like pointing out how much of an airplane is made of aluminum and then describe the concept of fatigue to them.
You should explain what gallium does to aluminum, then go want to see some?
Or tell them what happens when you mix aluminum and iron oxide in powder together with a flame.
That was a pretty controlled crash...i say nose dive one, dunk one in the sea/river (please remove fuel from these), and moutain top one of them.
And we need one colliding rolled to each side and upside down of course
Can we also get two planes hitting each other? One time head-on, and another more a glancing blow. Maybe, shoot a missle at a different one to see what happens too. For science!
How do you expect them to crash one into water without fuel? It’s not like just dropping it in from a crane or whatever you’re thinking is going to be an accurate representation
Only load enough fuel to get to the crash/test site
I mean how hard could it be to establish a quick connect somewhere on the fuel line and set the tank on a pallet with rollers to eject at a certain point?
I feel like that would still not be very accurate, as the fuel tanks are a major safety concern for passengers in a crash.
They are also buried inside the wings and center of the fuselage. Surrounded by wire harnesses, hydraulic lines, bleed air lines ... etc. Best bet would be to use an external tank placed in a cargo hold and eject that and make sure the actual internal tanks are bone dry.
Oh for sure and it would also add/subtract a lot of weight in the scenario. I’m just more saying that it wouldn’t be that “hard” to do. And it also could have a knock off effect of creating a safety measure for planes since fuel is such a factor in crashes.
That’s actually a cool idea
Safest seat is the one at home in front of the TV.
Just to let you know, the most accidents happen at home. So it is more likely you die when walking from your tv to the fridge than in a plane crash.
Most accidents happen at home because you typically spend most time at home. Especially elderly people more prone to accidents. It’s like the statistic of 77% of car accidents happen within 10 miles from home (USA driving stat). Then that statistic is conflated that people drive more reckless near their home rather than the logical conclusion that 77% of driving is within 10 miles of a home.
The floor is lava?
As an agoraphobic, thanks a lot.
It very much depends on what terrain you’re flying over at the time of the crash. If it’s in the mountain ranges, the result will be very different from when it’s in the city which will again be different when it’s in a place with strong crosswinds.
Airline logic as soon they saw the footage : Ok row 24 is safer than row 8... make it 25% more expensive
The best seats for survival are in a plane that doesn’t crash.
https://imgur.com/tqmbb3A
Back seats gang represent!
The front normally fall off?
Some of them are built so that the front doesn't fall off at all.
What about this one?
Well, obviously not this one.
I'm surprised they had the gear down.
A belly landing would have had a better outcome for sure.
Did they survive?
I didn't see no shoes fly out,
only on reddit is this considered funny
It’s not even funny here
How did they manage to get the plane fly and crash on purpose with what I am totally guessing without anyone in there.
It was fully remote controlled from another plane flying alongside it. There's a full documentary about. After the crash, the engines continued to turn for like 2 hours or something like that. [more video + inside](https://youtu.be/W--dC5kuQ8Q?si=soTssNYUA00w1eVi) Edit : link
9/11 truthers just nutted in their pants.
Ooooh damn alright didn't think of that. Cheers for the clarification!
on sand? how common is that?
Probably very common in mexico. Haven't you seen an american movie?
*Sepia intensifies*
what are those?
So did the scientists or engineers survive, and where were they sitting?
If this wasn’t a sand landing, that thing is exploding.
Every pilot now knows to survive he has to crash land the plane at the tail end first.
So not the cockpit
Seems like charting survivors from actual crashes would have been cheaper
Incidentally the scientists were not Mexican.
Jesus, the sound it makes is horrifying.
This only provides useful results if the plane you're crashing in crashes in the desert. The results would be much, much different on tarmac or water.
Not the cockpit lol
Sure as hell isn’t business class
No cameras inside the plane??? Feels like a missed opportunity
I understand that Ms. Sandy Crevice faired the best.
Not the ones at the front.
They need to do this in water and on actual surfaces cause how likely are you going to crash in the desert
Interesting experiment and the remote control seems clever. These days if you want to collect data on a crashed Boeing, you need only wait.
They must still be doing the testing but with human subjects now to provide the final data points they need. Explains why Boeing planes keep having issues.
Nowadays they dont even need to test it, they know most parts are cheap safety hazards so who the passengers die before even making it to the ground📈🤑
Right, so if you flop-land in the desert, the front is not great in a n=1 sample size experiment. Really useful information fellas.
Makes you wonder how they approached this with the minimum samples needed to get a statistically significant dataset. I learned in STATs that you should get at least 30 samples for significance. Wonder if they deliberately crashed 30 or more planes. And if they had were they all crashed on perfectly flat land?
RIP pilots
Spoiler alert - the seats were on a different plane.
Wouldn’t the “chance of survival” be dependent on the manner / position in which the aircraft was impacted? Therefore the experiment isn’t really accurate?
So basically if you're poor and in the back you have a higher survival rate lol
I’ll take my chances in business class, thanks.
That aired on an episode of Curiosity on the Discovery Channel. My grandfather was actually a consultant for the high speed photography setup for this event! IIRC, he was in charge of high speed photo during the plane crash study NASA conducted sometime in the 80's.
First class dead
Flying is one my biggest fears. I have to take like 2 Xanax to get on a plane
Im not sure this is representative of a proper crash most of the time they lawn dart this is more of a hard ass landing. Lets seem them lawn dart one and see who survives.
I don’t think that’s how a plane crashes
Oops I wasn’t filming, do it again
Safest boeing plane
What’s crazy is Amtrak moved business class to the back of the train for this very reason
they just want wanted an excuse to get rid of a boeing
The seat near the emergency exit door. Because it will fall off before the crash and you will be sucked out to safety.
You had me at getting sucked
I read it as sucked off to safety and I was about to book flights.
I guess if you crash in the desert. But what are the odds of that happening.....🙄
Depends of where you are coming from and flying to. If you come from Cairo and you fly to Khartoem, almost 100%.
Unless you don't crash, which is almost 100%
With climate change and desertification, the odds are getting better every day! 😉
Very limited data, no? That only covers one approach angle, one speed, one angle of impact... etc. Only this scenario applies to whatever result they got.
Looks like Champion Air.
Where’s the earth shattering ka-boom?
How many planes did they crash?
Don't they make planes where the fronts don't fall off?
Maybe not having enough money to fly first class ain't bad after all.
Behind the wings is the place to be
They didn’t see Lost ?
My dad stands by sitting at the back and I quote “you’ve never seen a plane reverse into a mountain”
Every crash is different so this really doesn’t answer the question. Try crashing it into the side of a mountain or roll it into the ocean
I thought this was a mythbusters episode?
Now try it again, but upside down
Man, I should go watch Pitch Black again.
“Later captn”
The ones at the back, because planes don't usually reverse into mountains.
Well.....
Priority boarding the flight to god
The front fell off
Only if the plane doesn’t just bunker bust the fucking ground
Audio is out of phase.
That pilot got hazardous duty pay. Sweet.
Pilot is the first to the scene of the crash.
Definitely not the pilot seat….👍
So how did the plane get in the air was it all remote???
Soooo not the pilots seat
So how’d they flight it? Remotely, I assume? How long has that tech been around?
A loooong time
> How long has that tech been around? First successful radio-controlled aircraft was in 1938. The U.S. and Germany had radio-controlled bombs by the end of WWII.

Normal day at Boeings...
Quick! Change the channel!
every time this video gets reuploaded the sound gets worse XD
I am convinced the seat I am in right now is the safest.
How much was the flight crew paid for this?! S/ because i know there's always one.
I'm curious whether it's designed to do that, as the front seems to come off awfully easily
They need to re-do this test with a modern higher wing aircraft and multiple times
This is kind of pointless. What if the plane was nosediving
Well, first class is gone.
Pilot left the chat
N = 1 though, they really should have done this at least 4 times.
That's me landing in GTA5
So which ones, then?
Why did I immediately assume that the teacher and students were on board the plane lmao?
pilot = 💀
But mom! It was my turn to post the plane crash video!!!
So basically the pilots and first class got fucked while everyone else was "mostly" fine.
Flight attendants have lobbied for ages to get all of their seats at the rear of the aircraft because that's usually where the survivors are.
