Hey +CGP Grey, I'm a pilot from Las Vegas, and I can tell you that the bend you see in the wing is completely normal and necessary! If they were to stay rigid, they would be under significantly more stress and be prone to failure in several locations. The flexibility allows for the plane to carry heavier loads, be more agile, and just maintain a greater sense of structural integrity (great when in turbulent conditions too!). Think of a bird and how their wings still curve even when just cruising. It reduces the stress on their joints. Loved the vlog and your work! Keep it up man.

How much of the socializing during this trip was spent explaining the sleep plan to other people?

That sort of wing flex is actually completely normal. There’s some really cool videos of Boeing and airbus wing flex tests and they can bend way more than you would ever think even possible before they snap

[nykkthing]

That's an insane amount of toothpaste

[Altrue]

To me, Las Vegas looks like a Minecraft server: Lots of very pretty monuments that don't fit together, squeezed together without any global coherence :D

[theCodyReeder]

Funny, I live near-ish to Vegas permanently and I keep about the same schedule that you did while visiting.

Grey’s time management skill is just so impressive.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this...but this trip took place on March 11-13, 2017, which is interesting, because daylight saving time began in the US on the 12th. Which means that Grey actually lost an hour in the middle of this, and the time difference between Las Vegas and London changed from 8 hours to 7 hours (DST begins two weeks later in the UK). In the video, this happens at 7:48. So part of why people "stayed up way late" is because it went from 1:59 to 3:00 during that extremely long dinner.

Foggy sleepy England in sharp contrast with the bilboards of vegas adds a bit of a poetic ring to the vlog. Like the serentiy welcoming you home.

doesn't vlog,
*makes a better vlog than 98% of the vlogging community*

[Chouetterargentee]

Grey is good at vlogging! This is unexpected and wonderful!

"No one's going to be around at 4AM in Las Vegas-"

Oh Grey, do you realize *where* you were? Having lived in Las Vegas, I can safely assure you, there are plenty of people "around" regardless what time of day or night it is.

That was so cool! His ideas were so ingenious, too. Such a cool way to deal with jet lag, and I loved the walking down the strip montage.

[MintyDarkFinger]

This is definitely the 'CGPGrey' way to do a vlog. And I like it.

[DoomedSonoftheWalrus]

I've just had the shittiest day in the most stressed-out month of my life. But after that beautiful sunrise-in-Vegas montage, I think I might just be able to go to bed, get some actual rest, and wake up in the morning not despising my boss, co-workers, and students. I needed that, and everyone around me will have a better tomorrow. Thanks Grey.

Hey Grey, it's been over a year since this video has been uploaded. And I just want to say these kind of 'self-experiment' and experience kind of vlogs, including Summer of Grey, is something I actually really enjoyed from you. I wouldn't mind seeing these kind of videos pop up on the channel every so often too. Keep up the great work!

[sopioraveoli]

Did enjoy. 10/10 would watch another. Sleep now, have a nice day

[jamesburgessk]

Please do vlogs everytime you go visit America or any other country!
Tbh, any extra uploads are precious to me regardless of what it is

[minecraftpro]

If you ever feel the desire to do this again, please do Grey! It's less of a straight up vlog and more of a science experiment about your sleep cycle with a relaxed vibe.

Did you board this flight back to front, or window middle aisle?
