1. I like that even after critizing most of the movies he stil gives them good point. 🙂

2. What a professional, very proper. Wow the knowledge and information this man has is amazing. Just the facts nothing more nothing less. A true investigator. Spot on with his reviews.

3. Where tf do they find these people from? I don't ever want to hear another person say there isn't any jobs..

4. >Man fully engulfed in flames, screaming for his life, in shock

   Nicholas Cage be like: Hmmm, yes, let me try and get his attention and ask for instructions by screaming "Hey!" Towards him

5. Factual, no frills, good explanation. You need more people like him.

6. I want to see this guy review the Sky King footage

7. British have the Beatles, at least they could do is hand this guy a microphone

8. This dude knows nothing about aircraft if he claims you cannot fly manually ( without autopilot ) or he knows a lot if he says you cannot fly a plane manually ( without hydraulic control, and instead direct movement transfer from stick to rudder, ailerons and elevators ) i am actually struggeling to understand which he means.. because most planes are fly-by-wire which has a computer do the inputs your stick makes… and this aircraft which looks like an MD-80Something should have fly-by-wire, which would make it difficult to do it manually, correct me if i am wrong please.

9. They should hire this man before making a new film, realism is not necessarily boring.

10. The whisperer.

11. He’s wrong on the review for flight. The movie was loosely based on a real event where the plane did go inverted except they didn’t survive.

12. I enjoyed this episode. 💯

13. Jeff Skiles (the First Officer during the Miracle on the Hudson) has publicly stated as well that he really disliked how the NTSB was portrayed during Sully, that it wasn't accurate whatsoever.

14. He talks about a misconception about the tail coming off at 15:50 but that actually did happen and they hiked to get supplies from the tail of the aircraft, but it likely wasn't a full minute like he said

15. This is so much bs everyone learned after the twin towers that aluminum planes dissappear into thin air on impact. Also if they impact the ground or pentagon, poof into thin air.

16. Sorry but the Fight Club thing is not realistic at all! This plane is flying on for a second or 4-5 while slowly breaking up, panel by panel, seat row by seat row? This guy investigated Lockerbie, he knows it doesn't happen like that. It just gets ripped apart in less than a second, or it is structurally strong enough to continue flying with a hole in the fuselage (like Aloha airlines flight 243), not slowly like this.

17. i'd say, the knowing plane crash, an a320 btw if i see, was probably most likely caused by either microburst or windshear, seeing the weather, i sort of support this

18. The XF-11 was a Recon aircraft, not a fighter. He's an expert on crashes but not the aircraft that crash, interesting.

19. His "grumpiness" is awesome lol 🤣

    I'm gonna invite him on my stag night

20. Steven Moss looks like so much John Steinbeck.

21. With all due respect, TWA 800 was brought down by an electrical fault

22. Flight is actually vaguely based on Alaska 261 which briefly flew inverted like the aircraft in the film before it crashed into the Pacific.

23. Doesn't the plane in final destination explode just after take off if so why are people getting sacked out it hadn't reached anywhere near the altitude for that. There is a famous picture of an early 707 upside-down over an city but that was a roll not actually flying upside-down its so famous I've forgotten the name of the city.

24. to be fair Premonition is not about realism since the bad guy is literally just death coming to get them however

25. Jesus Christ he sounds just like John McVie from Fleetwood Mac

26. When he mentioned during the Sully review that engines are being tested by throwing birds at them, I was reminded of something that Jeff Foxworthy said:
    "You know, I remember Career Day in high school. I remember plumbers and lawyers… I don't remember a booth where you could sign up to learn how to shoot chickens out of a cannon at the windshield of an airplane, 'cause there would have been a line at my school to do that!"

27. He's wrong about Sully. When they did the investigation they said there's no way these engines were running at all. It was a complete engine failure at less than 2,000 ft or whatever. He's wrong about the XF11 it was supposed to be a spy plane. Howard Hughes did test his own aircrafts. He did crash in Beverly hills and nearly died.

28. 12:25 it appears to be a P-38, an actual fighter used in WW2

29. Dude evaluated Sully. You guys made him evaluate Sully, a REAL event. You can't criticize him for trying the ignition, that's what Sullenberger did in real life too!

30. The Nick Cage movie crash was the most bullshit, mainly because some people survived the crash landing where the aircraft was not just invented but was pulled nose down by the electrical wires.

31. The Howard Huges Scene was based on a real incident, him crashing the Prototype of an XF11 Reconnaissance plane.
    He ended up plowing the prototype across Beverly Hills in 1946.
    There are photos of Hughes in the cockpit in the costume DiCaprio used in the Movie, although it might have been just during rolling tests and whatnot, as in other photos he wear normal flightgear. But the cockpit DOES seem pretty spacious and empty from the outside. And the instruments from the crashed plane also look much like the movie prop…

32. Hearing him say that a speck of paint could bring down a rocket because they're so extremely fragile just reinforces my desire to stay on earth lol. I don't care how "commercialized" space travel may become….noooooo thank you.

33. My uncle was awarded the Purple Heart when the engines of the B-24 he was piloting were damaged, he dropped out of formation over the Mediterranean, and he never returned to base. I was born long after and never met him, but my father, a B-26 pilot, had difficulty speaking of his brother without breaking down, and that final scene gave me a start.

34. Die Hard and Final Destination are entertaining and have great dialogue between the characters..🎥✈🔥👮

35. They should let Kelsey from 747gear do one of these

36. For Sully – yes the engines failed completely.

37. I loved how unbothered he was in the beginning of the video🤣🤣🤣

38. I am a longtime aviation writer. My most vivid memory of my first major crash scene is of a firefighter walking by carrying a human arm with a watch still on the wrist.

39. The first crash was based on TWA 800 which was caused by faulty wiring arching gas fumes in the central fuel tank leading to an explosion which ripped the plane apart. Deserves more than a 3.

40. I like how serious he is and then when he sees the Die Hard 2 we get a bemused “heh heh heh”.

41. "I've never heard of electrical failures causing anything like that "
    TWA 800 am I a joke to you?!?!?

42. There was an aircraft that flew inverted. So…. it can happen.

43. This guy’s personality makes total sense… I can’t imagine how desensitized he must be after 35 years of seeing the things he’s seen.

44. This man is very Informative

45. Talking about Final destination, we need to know how realistic is the Roller coaster from Final destination 3.

46. They bought the tickets, they knew the risks…..
    I say…Let 'em crash.
    Shirley you can't be serious.

47. He clearly wanted to give die hard a -10.

48. I’ve seen Moss on Air Crash Investigation. He’s very knowledgeable.
