Secret Airplane Features That Could Save Your Life

All aboard for some shocking airplane secret features airlines don't want you to know about!

Legal Stuff.

The movable aisle armrest is not a "hidden safety feature" for evacuation. That doesn't even make sense to have a hidden safety feature. In an emergency, no one would know it's there or how to use it/find it. The armrest is moveable because some passengers with disabilities need to be able to slide from the wheelchair to their seat without being lifted. (The wheelchair used in this case is a special size to fit down the aisle of a plane.) Lifting passengers in such tight spaces can cause injuries. A slide board is placed between the wheelchair and the aisle seat for the passenger to move between the two. That's why the armrest needs to be able to fold up.

Scubadivers do not use Oxygen bottles. They would not survive pure oxygen. It is simply compressed air in most cases, sometimes other mixes.

Zero clickbait, fully-researched material, two absolutely best narrators, interesting topics covering wide array of things, lighthearted humor and narration, infrequent ads, childish atmosphere, and most importantly lots of knowledge. That's why your channel is way above anything else on whole platform. And one thing I noticed, you guys never shove any subjectivity to us, you always clearly distinguish your personal opinions with the facts, with, often, 'self-depreciating' the subjective in humor and strongly prioritizing the facts and the knowledge, yielding perfect balance. That's why I absolutely love your channel. Your moral conduct, with trying to minimize any ambiguity and unclear titles, and everything else I mentioned above - Youtube should unironically put your recent two-three years content as a gold standart guideline for all the upcoming youtubers and show them at their very first upload as a way to go (not that anyone would replicate you anyway). I love you, BE AMAZED.

I’ve been a flight attendant for 20 years on Boeing aircraft. Have never seen a railing under the bins. We just balance ourselves on the bins, except for MAX’s and 787’s. Those Bins are high and more sloped to allow for more head room. Nothing to hold on to except seats. 🤷‍♀️

Characteristics of an air marshal:
- Unaccompanied
- Aisle seat
- Late boarding the plane
- GOLF SHIRT

All according to legitimate sources of course.

Attention to detail : This channel could have used any stock video of a 737 taking off, but they actually found a clip of a 737-200 classic with the original P&W JT8D engines while explaining 1970s era aircraft.

15:50 I figured out the "unlock" switch on the aisle armrest a long time ago, and I make a habit of lifting the armrest when we're boarding and leaving the plane. So much easier to get everyone in and out when the armrests are all up.

I worked as a flight attendant fro 34 years. On 9/11, I was on a layover in Manchester, England. Just like citizens around the world, all of us were in shock. I did work for American Airlines, not retired for ten years. As for your comments on air marshalls, I can tell you this. At least 50% of your "facts" were 100% INCORRECT. Another 25% were partially INCORRECT. Now I will say that I am very glad you got that much information WRONG. That is good news. Safe travels.

The Circadian Rhythm is not a Psychological Condition, it is a Biological Condition, as is the Jet Lag which affects it.

As a pilot, I enjoy watching videos like this, generally because they contain outlandish "facts" that are nowhere near true. I was pleasantly surprised with this video. Everything was true. However, the detachable cabin idea will absolutely never become a thing. As pilots, we're taught from day 1, never give up. Do everything possible to get on the ground as safely as possible. Also, as a pilot, why would we sacrifice ourselves to detach the cabin and save everyone else? If I get down safe, y'all get down safe too. Multiple case studies out there that seem absolutely hopeless, but the pilots did everything they could think of and saved most, if not all, of the people on board. The most famous, Cactus 1549...the miracle on the Hudson.

Boeing 737Max proves that newer airplanes can be more dangerous than older airplanes.

About ten years ago we flew to and from Australia to the USA with United, on the last flights of 747’s that the airline was using. The one we flew home was going to fly on from Australia empty to the Middle East to be turned into a cargo plane. Those things were old planes, decades old possibly, and felt solid and reliable. Just a great old bird.

I worked for a company once that made laser scribing machines, huge great big lumps of precision granite. Our customer wasn't prepared to wait for the finished machine to be shipped by sea, so they paid for it to be shipped from Oxford to Japan on an Antonov. I didn't get to see the send off myself, but the photos were quite a sight.

Be amazed's voice really does sound like a airplane pilot driver.

Calm, focus and ready to go.

As an aviation geek, I am glad to have learned interesting facts about planes. Thank you, Be Amazed!

Scuba divers don't use oxygen tanks at all, which is lethal below a few metres, they are filled with regular air or nitrox, which contains a little more oxygen than regular air, thus allowing longer dives, but not as deep as with regular air.

[groovygranny]

This is probably the best presentation I've seen so far. I love watching Be Amazed. You cover such a wide range of subjects with your witty commentary. Very interesting and informative. Thank you

I'm a frightened flier. This sort of information gives me comfort. I won't have an anxiety attack the next time I fly somewhere.'

The AN-225 isn‘t supposed to be restored, a new one will be build using a partially finshed second plane in storage

[therealMisterRN]

I believe you are incorrect regarding scuba tanks using oxygen. They usually use compressed air.
