The ONE time the on-flight entertainment system decides to work....

From what I remember about this, The passengers that chose to watch, had to sit there and listen to "experts" that the news stations had talking about how the plane could loose control, or the landing gear could collapse and the plane could become a "fireball of death". They kept coming up with all the different ways they could die.

It's very hard for me to watch this as my daughter was on this flight. It was an agonizing long day for me...and my daughter too. They were up in the air for hours waiting to land. I will always & forever be so grateful and thankful for that pilot and the crew who did a fantastic job.

Imagine being on that flight and hearing someone say "watch this plane having an issue" then you look out the window and see the plane your on

The crew seem to have done an excellent job handling this situation - both in terms of the pilots flying the plane and the cabin crew's communication with the passengers. It's a nice change to hear about an incident with a positive outcome.

Good choice by the cabin crew to allow the passengers to call their loved ones. I'm especially fascinated by the way people respond to emergencies, and this likely helped calm the passengers.

I remember watching this landing on TV and I’m sure a lot of people thought that it was fairly easy since the end result was so good, I used to be an F-15 mechanic and there was an incident where one landed in England and the left main landing gear had broken and the wheel was pointed 90° just as a nose wheel in this case was, when the aircraft touched down it careened off the runway, the nose broke off and one of the air crew almost lost his arm.

This Cabin Crew really are some of the best people to have in an emergency. Compassionate, intelligent, and calm in a bad situation. They all deserve every accolade available.

Its such a delight to when you're given plenty of time to solve a problem. No panic, and no little doubts about the best course of action.

Excellent professionalism showcased by the entire crew. Stuff happened outside their control, but they did all they could within their powers to ensure the safety of everyone onboard. I guess this is one of the many reasons why flying is statistically the safest mode of transportation now. Thank you for sharing as always!

I was watching the news, when the news broke about the Jetblue flight. I remember Jetblue was going to have to make an emergency landing at LAX. Since planes put their landing gear over my house, I ran outside and just about 50ft above me was the Jetblue with the landing gear problem, flying over my house. I could see the landing gear, and damaged front landing gear. Glad everything 🙏 worked out.

my friend has a friend who was on this flight. he described it as terrifying. he thought he was watching his own fate. Also for my fav YouTuber, thank you for the terrific content. You have answered all my questions about EACH AVIATION ACCIDENT ever. I can finally tell my friend what really happened. (were like a tiny group) [me my friend and his friend]

The production values on this video are stunningly good. There’s no such thing as a bad Mentour video, but this one seemed like a level up. The plane/flight footage is incredible.

I've always been a fan of the TV series Mayday but actually getting a break down from a pilot is so much better

Usually these cases don't really scare me but when it's something with my airport..

I remember sitting in my grandparents living room watching this live. My grandfather is a retired FO from Air Canada. While coming in for landing, he explained the technique that the pilots would likely attempt to land safely. I'm now a private pilot, so now I understand the technique they used is similar to a soft field landing. Keeping that nose wheel up on a Cessna 152 is challenging enough. The pilots of this aircraft made it look easy.

After last week’s episode, we really needed something with technical issues but no dire consequences. The overall quality is great as always, but I think that the animations and graphic aspect has really improved. Thank you and your team for making awesome content!

Imagine watching your inflight and looking at your friend like… isn’t that our flight? 😂. What an excellent result of a competent flight crew and excellent pilot, I watched this live when it happened. Great video as always!

@Mentour - question for you, and maybe an idea for a video - what procedures do pilots follow if there is a medical emergency onboard an airliner shortly after takeoff ? Let's say you have a passenger that is unresponsive, no medical doctors onboard .. I'm especially curious how procedures differ between aircraft - if you have something large like a 380/777 full of fuel, do you dump fuel and land? what about something small like a 320/737 that cannot dump fuel but is over max landing, do you have to burn off that fuel or do you attempt an overweight landing for the sick passenger? very curious what the polices and procedures are in these types of scenarios.
