Explain to me how that plane was traveling at Mach 39.1 ?
It wasn’t. IIRC, it was descending at 30,000 feet per minute at its peak and was maybe coming close to Mach 1 at impact.
I also understand there’s some deeply NSFL audio floating around, but I haven’t listened and don’t intend to.
The audio is a bit rough, especially if you haven't heard any emergency calls or ATC traffic before but not really any more distressing than watching a loaded plane slam into the ground. Which doesn't even have a NSFW tag
I listened to the audio. Always heartbreaking to hear people's distressing last words as they realize they are about to die.
For me it was the helplessness she was in. There was nothing anyone could have done at the time. The ATC operator was trying to see what could be given to them but they where out of options.
Jeff was full on doing the lords prayer in the background, can’t imagine a good 30 seconds of knowing you are dead
at least there was no pain, just helplessness
reminds me of Benny from that scene in the Mummy without any of the humor
Yeah. Utterly gut-wrenching. My heart sinks every time I hear these cockpit crash recordings.
Wherever I think about it, I'm haunted by these alarms, going: "PULL UP. PULL UP."
Always hoped my last words were something along the lines of "get fuckd carnt"
Hers was something "we've run out of time". Poetic
I heard a professional in an impossible situation doing everything in their power to keep it together.
It's heartbreaking and powerful.
People are saying the equipment only registers a maximum of 32,000 feet per minute, but the aircraft was probably traveling closer to 60,000 feet per minute on impact, at basically terminal velocity for that aircraft.
I don't know anything though, just parroting comments from YouTube.
Very sad audio, but nowhere near something like the Brick Video.
Many years later that brick video still randomly pops into my head and chokes me up
I hate that I know exactly which one you’re referring to. That and the call from the WTC stairwell are burned into my brain.
fixed, thanks!
travelling on an asteroid probably.
