"You probably remember KTVU’s royal eff up with reading obviously fake Asian names for the pilots of the Asiana crash. Names like “Wi To Lo” and “Ho Lee Fuk”.

It looks like a Korean news agency is having some fun at KTVU’s expense. After the landing gear failure of the Southwest flight at LGA they showed this graphic with American pilot names “Captain Kent Parker Wright”, “Co-Captain Wyatt Wooden Workman”.

They even went as far as making up fake names for people to interview. Flight instructor “Heywood U. Flye-Moore” and skeptical passenger “Macy Lawyers”.

Well played Korean TV, well played."

When movies are so bad they're funny... ;)

 

When movies are literally the worst movies you have ever seen. Let me go over what was wrong:

  1. Flight attendant was rude.
  2. B747 doesn't have that kind of static wingflex (if they were bent that much they should have been moving around)
  3. B747 can't move that fast, looked more like what a fighter jet would look like.
  4. Any airliner would fall apart as soon as it was bitten in half by a giant shark. 
  5. Sharks don't fly (that infographic is just stupid)
  6. The movie is called Megashark vs. Giant Octopus.
  7. The plane would have at least blown into about a thousand different pieces upon impact with the water. 
  8. The G-Forces sustained by the humans on board, decelerating from a vectored velocity of around 550MPH to 0MPH in the forward direction would kill the them, even if it didn't destroy the plane. The momentum a human has at that point is approximately 18,430 kg m/s, compared to a human in a car accident, with a momentum of 2,000 kg m/s. If they weren't killed by internal injuries, their seatbelts would sever them in half (and make a way cooler movie, anyways). The point is, they shouldn't even be CONSCIOUS to be screaming as they plummet towards the ocean. 
  9. From the wall design, they are on the first floor. The seat layout of economy in the B747 is 3-4-3, but they are sitting in 2-2 configuration.
  10. Condor Airlines is real, jerks. 
  11. And air pocket??? Flight attendants are supposed to call it turbulence.
  12. "Alright folks, please fasten your seatbelts." If they weren't already, they have a problem. The way that pilot is flying that jumbo, and the fact that the flight attendant is going around making sure every is already strapped in, they'd better. And pilots never talk like that. The most casual pilot announcement from a pilot was "Good afternoon passengers. Current time is blah and we will be landing in a few minutes. Flight attendants prepare for landing."
  13. What did I just watch.

My inner cinematographer is screaming in pain.
