Please tell me the audio was sped off. I can't understand shit. Thank god for the subtitles.

How do pilots/air controllers manage to understand each other with all the different nationalities and accents and the shitty audio transmissions lol

It sounds like normal air radio traffic. You get used to hearing it.

There's a lot of specific phrases you learn to expect, it helps out with understanding a lot.

I do it for work.

Watched the whole thing. That was pretty neat.

"Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?"

 

[Big Nikus]

Oh, I thought he had done it again.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

He's done some good as a pilot but yeah, bit of a fuck up there.

They talk super fast though. Why take the risk of a misunderstanding with such sensitive information ? I know the controllers have to manage a lof of planes at the same time but still ...

This must be the ultimate embarrassment for someone who prides themselves on being a competent pilot. A regular citizen might not have gotten any of the coverage he has, one of the ways being famous can be a real bitch I guess.

You could hear it in his voice. No pilot wants to be given a phone number to call.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Did Victor check the vector?

 

[Loxley]

Jesus, I misread the title and thought he now almost accidentally flew a plane with 110 passengers on board XD

you say this like he doesn't have a history of fuckups

 

[Einchy]

Was the engine failure his fault?

[Slaythe]

I mean, out of everything he fucked up in his life, he did get pretty lucky. And when luck is consistent through an entire lifetime, it's not really luck.

Is reckless flying not an imprisonable offence?

He wasn't reckless, he made a mistake. He'll lose his license for awhile or face some kind of punishment. What he did is certainly not criminal.

 

[MiloHoffman]

at this rate he's gonna wind up in the next season of "Air Disasters"

 

[MMarston]

Pls, he flies the Millennial Falcon!

 

[Just_myles]

Holy fuck that is close.

how did he make the mistake?

by being careless

Was he being reckless or careless?

"Did I almost kill myself again?"

I'm laughing so hard at this.

I'd say he was grossly negligent. He came dangerously close to a fuelled airliner full of passengers on that taxiway.

In an industry that has investigations into near misses based upon hundreds of meters to a mile of distance, you can't dismiss this as a mistake.

Dude on the other end didn't react at all when he told him his name is Harrison Ford, straight up professional

 

[danthefan]

how did he make the mistake?

by being careless

And you want to see him in jail for it? What purpose would that possibly serve?

 

[DeSo]

Jeez, as if old people on the roads weren't enough...

 

[dh4niel]

People used to say the same thing about my ex.

 

[Einchy]

Please don't kink shame me but I'd pay good money to have Harrison Ford crash his plane into me.

 

[massoluk]

People used to say the same thing about my ex.

HOLY SHIT

 

[old manatee]

how did he make the mistake?

If I had the chance to fly in a plane piloted by Harrison Ford I would say yes, knowing full well that he might kill us all.

Sploosh!

I'll join the luminaries the like of Sean Connery, the Wookie, and Anne Heche

 

[Septimius]

I mean, shit happens. I'm guessing it was a genuine mistake to mistake taxiway charlie for the runway. However, what seems odd to me is that you don't instinctively abort the landing when there's a plane on what you assume is the runway, especially when you've clearly registered it.

bruh

He sounds fucked!

Damn.

 

[Marky Mark]

I lost my shit when he said "I landed.. on.. chaaarlie..???" Lolol

Someone takes rhis guy licene away from him, seriously what is with him and flying :O
