The only failure about the Presidential plane was it couldn't broadcast the President on TV at that time.

What's more shocking is the amount of aviation inaccuracies, like showing a 747-400 in the place of a VC-25.

im really curious about the people that no matter what the video is about press the thumbs down button

[mythicprotato]

My dad would be in Tech Heaven in Air Force One...

[laramero]

Wow! the fighter jet can fire 6, 000 rounds per minute? Omg

The Secret Service can keep Air Force One in the air? I think that’s more the job of the United States Air Force. Also in one scene you showed not the VC-25 (B-747) but the C-32 ( B-757) taking off.

some individual do not leave in this world, they have their own world.

they are much faster than airforce one and have a much shorter supply of fuel so i assume new planes come up and relieve the f-16s if needed and f-16s can refuel in the air as well so that is another option

What is the name of this film? I would like to watch the whole thing.

[GentleRain]

I keep hearing/reading that Americans under the age of 20 have heard of 9/11 but don't have a clue what it was about. As posted below, forgetting events like this will do nothing for this country except make it vulnerable again to the same attacks.

Just seen this documentary on discovery must have been horrible for bush. I hope America keep hammering anyone involved until the end of time

[cristian]

It is one of the worst crimes. With. It.

[livenfree]

Anyone got a link to the whole episode?

[donaldthomas]

but that day they did not have good communication had many calls dropped or disconnects, had to land to address the nation not able to transmit via in flight

[lorefreedom]

I’m surprised they didn’t have more fighter jets then just two

[MILLTICKET]

This what im trying to tell her....you forget your doomed to repeat. Every new generation thinks they have new ideas and experiences. But the reality is this stuff was already done before or thought of. The problem that comes up is the older generation may not talk about it and if they do the new generation ignores it ....That's when evil men/women come around and hit you with the Hammer for being

69MrUsername69 Nobody. They just fall to earth, happy to have been of service! America, Fuck Yeah!

[micketkeong]

There is only one place to land, AREA 51.

[integralmath]

0:22 that plane is not Air Force One. It's not even a 747.

[NasDevil]

That's an aircraft made for a president!
