10 Scariest Aviation Moments Caught On Camera

1. A herring is a fish. A Heron is a bird

2. 5:50 in the cruising altitude the pressure would 8t make impossible to open the door

3. Herrings are fish, herons are birds

4. Russian pilots. Wow

5. Herring (herrings as stated here) is a type of FISH. I think what you mean is Heron. A large crane species type of bird.

6. 2:16 How did 2 large herrings got up there? 🐟🐟

7. The small airplane that "flew to close to the ground" lost control because he was flying too slowly. Classic stall-spin accident. He's extremely lucky to have survived, let alone be able to open the cockpit and just walk away.

8. You can stop selling seats by the exits but it won’t fix stupid.

9. You can't open a jetliner's door at altitude, the pressure difference is too great. Not even Arnold.

10. Cajón would translate as drawer, not box

11. Nbr. 10: Bird strikes are no joke; however, a "herring" strike… in the air? 🤔 Those most have been some hefty flying fish. 😜 Best part of the narration (1:50) "…the flames you see are not because the engine caught fire; they're coming from the roasted herrings stuck inside."

12. At cruising altitude it is physically impossible to open emergency doors because of the pressure 😂

13. 06:28 "He got too close to the ground". Yeah, crashing into it definitely counts as "too close".

14. Those are HERONS! Not herrings, though that would be more impressive.

15. I'm not surprised that I never heard of Amelia Earhart's record for altitude until after a man broke it.

16. In fact, it's very clear what went wrong for the Nr.7 Russian amateur pilot. He flew too slow, and got into an aerodynamic stall as he was trying to make a turn (turning further reduces lift). The whole display was executed in a criminally unprofessional way. I hope they took away his license. He got very lucky though. Most low-altitude stalls end with fatal injuries.

17. El Cajon, a small town? Hahahahaha You've obviously never been there.

18. 5:41 If the plane had been at cruising altitude, there would have been well over 20,000 pounds of force on the door; it wouldn't have opened for anyone. As has been explained on many aviation channels, the only reason he was able to open it even at the low level they were at, where the pressure would have been around 100 lbs. or so, was because it was low enough for the plane's safeties to be disabled and the door had a mechanical assist.

19. 1:54 Not sure if that was supposed to be humour, but no, the flames are not coming from the bird in the engine. That's a bog standard compressor stall, which causes the flames that are normally inside the engine to be expelled out the back in surges. It would do this same thing if the engine had ingested something inflammable as well. It's somewhat comparable to a car backfiring.

    (Edit: the BBC quoted a Manchester Airport spokesman as saying that it was the birds burning, but I suspect either that person didn't know what a compressor stall was or just didn't feel like explaining it to the press.)

20. The C17 Globemaster flying between buildings… one of the largest, most powerful aircraft in human history, was not as impressive as an idiot in a flying go cart falling over on a dirt path !?

21. Roast herrings anyone? Mancunian flying fish are always a problem!

22. Sand slipping into the cockpit what the hell always gives me I forgot that it was an ingenious in the video🙃🙃🙃🙃 the cockpit and the plane have to be airtight. if it wasn't the plane would come apart. Some wannabe geniuses

23. LOL. There was no cry of "9 11" in Australia. Those numbers are back to front from how we say them (9 11 here is the 9th of November).
    We knew it was a RAAF display due to it taking place at River Fire (an annual event). The RAAF always have jets fly over and do a "dump and burn"….this time, they added something bigger and more exciting.

24. Never heard of flying fish …. ?

25. Fake

26. 1:01 Herring is a type of fish. The word you are looking for is "Heron."
    5:41 If he had tried to open the door at cruising altitude it would have been impossible to get it open because of the air pressure. Also, please don't call the runway "tarmac."
    7:22 Not that hard to tell what happened. This was a stall caused by banking too steep at too slow a speed, meaning the wings lost the lift required to keep the plane in the air. There was no way he could recover at such a low altitude.
    10:19 Definitely organized
    17:22 Communication with ATC? This is more just relying on your instruments than anything. Not much difference taking off or landing with low visibility in a sandstorm than in snow or fog. Also, the engines are designed to withstand small particles like sand, and the sand is probably not going to enter the cockpit, except maybe via bleed air, but still it would be highly unlikely for any avionics and electrical systems to get damaged.

27. 16:03 if that is Saudi, I'll eat my sandals. Secondly, for the number one clip, when you say there was zero visibility, then show a video in which you can see the wing tip, and beyond it, other planes, then it's not zero visibility is it? Do try and limit your hyperbole, your clips are very good.

28. A pair of herrings??? When did fish become able to cavort through the atmosphere?

29. That helicopter pilot needs some new underpants 😂 great save

30. 13:29 – I swear you can hear that guy's head hit the tarmac when he falls!
