Let me tell you a story. A story about the Fokker Jets and their tumultuous relationship with snowy weather. If you just want to learn about Bek Air Flight 2100, you can go to this timestamp (1:36:06) However... If you want to learn about all the lore related to this aircraft and the condition this flight faced then, you’d best come with me, my friend. Because what happened here has fifty years of backstory behind it. Come join me, and step decades back in time and let's learn about The Fokker Enigma.

Related joke to hopefully brighten your day.

During the Battle of Britain, the BBC sends a radio van down to the south coast to follow the raids. A big one comes in and the Allied fighters rise to meet it. A Hurricane gets shot down, and the pilot bails out. He lands nearby. The reporter runs over. It turns out he’s Scottish.

“I say, sir, how was it?”
“Och, there were Fokkers to the left, Fokkers to the right, Fokkers all around. I hate them Fokkers.”

Embarrassed silence.

“For the benefit of our gentle listeners, a Fokker is a type of German aircraft.”
“Aye, y'right, but these Fokkers were Messerschmitts.”

As a flashback I remember Chloe being shy about appearing. What a great difference and made the videos even better. Chloe's intermissions are funny and memorable and make a positive difference. Thanks Chloe!

“Maybe I want to be deiced” 💀 Chloe no hahaha
Chloe a few minutes later: stands there all green.
I can't with your dedication. Thanks for your work!

Chloe: Let's go into 50 years of history and legislation behind the Fokker!

Me, who has never shown any interest in the legislative side of aircraft before now: YASSSS QUEEN

the occasional dopamine rush i get when i see a new disaster breakdown video being posted never gets old. i think your videos are some of the most unique ones because of the level of engagement you offer like your humor or visual explanations. it really puts it all together into something very enjoyable


edit: i love the irony of how in like almost 90% of these cases it's not the aircraft that is the actual problem and there really isn't anything inherently bad about the plane's design it's just the fact that the people managing them like maintenance workers or the pilots themselves are the ones who always cut a corner to the point where it's deadly

[darranhirose]

Oh Chloe, the amount of shade being tossed here is surpassing the amount in the Dana Air/Florida special. And it's warranted. Get Fokker'd. Great content.

"Fokker-ed up" hahahaha loved that! Keep up the awesome work!!

[josephparisi]

I was wondering why I hadn't see a video from you in a long time and I was routinely checking your channel to make sure that I didn't miss the notification. This video was great and worth the wait. Although miss watching your videos every Saturday, I really enjoy the long form videos.

[ileolai]

this is your magnum opus. incredible work. was not expecting the goo

[treyliles]

Okay, that "Meet the Fokkers" line was pretty clever

[RDW]

I love the way you combine humour with fatal accidents

34:44 Chloe you are an absolute icon for explaining the different types of deicing fluid by covering yourself in similar-viscosity liquids. I applaud you queen thank you for the work you do 👏👏🫡

I never thought in my 40s I would be learning about air disasters with true interest. Thanks for bringing so much to these videos, Chloe. You're so thorough, and truly, I've learned so much. The knowledge and amazing productions are one thing, seeing you is a bonus!

[SakuraAsranArt]

"Here comes the airplane! I'm so glad you left that in, I'm dying!! 🤣🤣🤣

[DazHarkz]

In a world of AI generated scripts/voices masked by now cheap to produce graphics.. I applaud this video and gets a very well deserved like from me. I really appreciate this format of video and the effort needed to produce such a thing. Thank you

Didn't realize this video was 2 hours at first. Ended up watching all of it. That's a testament to its captivation! Great job.

“-12c That’s 10 degrees in freedom units”

That’s right! That freedom temp yo!😂

[manifestgtr]

I just have to say…I applaud the “I promise this is interesting” note in the thumbnail. I’ve never seen that before lol

[AndrewPaul]

You're spoiling us Chloe! Can't wait to get stuck into this one!

[floralfox]

i’m very sick right now and whenever i get sick i tend to binge your videos, so this is perfect! it’s also very cool to see you on camera more often in these newer long-form videos !
