Top 10 Longest Flights in the World [French subtitle]

On this video, I created current Top 10 longest flight routes of the world. Long-haul flights are increasingly being offered by a number of airlines thanks to more affordable oil, more fuel-efficient airliners, and more demand for nonstop trips. Please note that some of this flights may not be operational due to the pandemic that has seriously affected the aviation industry.

A Plane Disappeared And Landed 37 Years Later

What would you do if you went on a vacation to another city and suddenly found yourself in another country altogether? Most of us would be confused. Even the most reckless of adventurers would at least raise an eyebrow if told they’d flown for close to half a century.

On July 2, 1955, Pan American Flight 914 made its way from New York to Miami, Florida. It was a fine sunny day, and 57 passengers on board the plane were looking forward to seeing the warm beaches and palm trees of Florida. The plane took off without trouble, but 3 hours later, when it should’ve already landed at the destination airport, it was nowhere to be seen. When air traffic control contacted the New York tower, they got a perplexing reply: Flight 914 just disappeared from the radars in mid-air.

SUMMARY:
- On July 2, 1955, Pan American Flight 914 made its way from New York to Miami, Florida. It was a fine sunny day, and 57 passengers on board the plane were looking forward to seeing the warm beaches and palm trees of Florida.
- Everything indicated that the plane was lost: apart from having vanished from the radars, air traffic control couldn’t get through to the pilots with the radio.
- Eventually, although the case was never really solved, there was an official statement that the plane crashed, taking the lives of everyone on board.
- Change of scenery. It’s now September 9, 1992, and we’re in Caracas, Venezuela. It’s a perfectly normal day for Juan de la Corte, air traffic controller at the Caracas airport.
- Seemingly out of nowhere, a new dot appeared on the radar. It was as if an aircraft had just popped up from nothingness, or as if it had been hiding from the radar and now decided to show up.
- In less than 10 minutes, the culprit showed up in the field of vision. At first it looked to the air traffic control like an ordinary airplane, but as it got closer, they could see that it was, in fact, very oldю
- The real confusion began when the pilot of the mysterious aircraft contacted the tower and asked in English, “Where are we?”
- The pilot said his flight was scheduled to land at the Miami airport at 9.55 am on July 2, 1955. Now it was time for the tower to fall into silence.
- Ground units were immediately called to assist the plane and the passengers, and it landed without trouble. Having relaxed a little bit, Juan finally decided to ask something that bothered him. “Do you know today is May 21, 1992?”
- Juan heard the flight captain’s panicky voice saying, “No! Stay away! We’re leaving now!” And indeed, he started the engines again and, without waiting for take-off clearance, taxied the plane to the runway.
- There’s much dispute about the credibility of this event. Back in 1985, a tabloid called Weekly World News was the first to cover this story.
- However, the legend still lives, and many sources retell it in their own way. Some even go as far as to say that the passengers of the plane eventually returned to their homes.
- One thing that keeps popping up on the Internet and piquing the interest of paranormal enthusiasts is a small pocket calendar that somehow was left on the Caracas airport runway when the notorious plane took off.

A Plane Lost Both Engines So Pilots Had No Other Choice

“Would the lead steward please come to the flight deck... immediately”. Sounds like one of those in-flight announcements from a dramatic plane crash movie. No one would ever want to hear this in reality. Unfortunately, it’s exactly what the passengers on Air Transat Flight 236 heard as their plane ran out of fuel somewhere above the Atlantic.

It was supposed to be a regular flight for Air Transat from Toronto, Canada, to Lisbon, Portugal. The weather was fine that August evening, and Flight 236 took off without delays. It had 306 people on board. The Airbus was fairly new, with only 2 years of active service. It had two powerful engines, and 5 tons more fuel than is required when it took off. Yet, 8 hours later, when the plane should have touched down in Lisbon, it was nowhere to be seen...

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- At 05:03 UTC, after over 4 hours of a totally normal flight, the first alarming message came through. The onboard computer informed the pilots that the oil temperature had dropped and the oil pressure was higher than normal on engine 2, that same right engine.
- At 05:36 UTC another warning came through – this time about a fuel imbalance. The pilots, again, thought it was a false alarm and followed protocol for the situation.
- At 05:45 UTC, the pilots made the decision to divert the plane to the Azores and land it at Lajes Air Base. 3 minutes later, they informed Santa Maria Oceanic air traffic control they had a fuel emergency.
- At 06:13 UTC, when the plane was at 39,000 feet (11,880 m) and still 170 miles (273 km) away from Lajes, engine #2 failed completely from lack of fuel.
- They only had one option now – to glide for the rest of the distance to the base. Mr. DeJager, who was the co-pilot on Flight 236, remembers they were flying as if in a simulator dealing with new problems that arose every minute.
- All emergency services were activated on the ground, waiting for the plane to land safely. The pilots realized they only had 15 to 20 minutes and one attempt to touch down safely and save the passengers.
- At 06:45 UTC, the plane finally touched ground at the airbase, but it wasn’t exactly a smooth landing. 14 passengers and two crew members needed some medical help, and two people got seriously injured during the evacuation.
- It turned out that just five days before the incident maintenance staff installed a new right engine. It didn’t come with a hydraulic pump, so they decided to take one from a similar engine and attach it to the new one.
- There was a leak in the fuel hose, and it could have killed 306 people!

4 Times Huge Airplanes Landed On Water Successfully

There’s no such thing as a safe emergency airplane landing, especially if it has to land on water. But some gifted pilots can do wonders with their metal-winged birds, even if those birds are huge airliners with lots of people on board! Here, I’ll tell you about 4 times airplanes landed on the water without any major injuries to the passengers.
Landing a plane on water has its own special term now. It’s called ditching, and this task is one of the hardest for pilots. Period. Mainly because it’s almost impossible to train pilots to deal with this situation. Especially if we’re talking about 1956, when there were no training simulations available.

TIMESTAMPS
Boeing 377 Stratocruiser 1:17
The Pan Am Flight 6 1:40
The Tupolev Tu-124 4:12
Airbus A320 of US Airways (Miracle of the Hudson) 6:56

SUMMARY
- Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, a huge liner with 4 engines – one of the first airplanes with a pressurized cabin and double-deck feature! With this double-deck, it could take up to 100 passengers on board. But on this day, October 16, 1956, there were only 24 passengers and 7 members of the aircrew on the plane.
- The Pan Am Flight 6 was supposed to be an around-the-world flight with several stops along the way. This was its last take-off from Honolulu before arriving at the destination point in San Francisco. Unfortunately, at the half-way point, when the plane was climbing in altitude, one of the Boeing’s engines violated its speed limit and stopped. Slowly but surely, the plane started to get closer to the sea, unable to keep the altitude. It didn’t help that another engine, engine number 4, also started to malfunction. But still, pilots managed to distribute the workload to the three remaining engines and keep an altitude of 5,000 ft.
- In the summer of 1963. The Tupolev Tu-124 airplane with 52 people on board was circling around in the skies above Saint Petersburg, Russia, trying to find a way to ditch on the Neva River.
Problems with this flight began immediately after the plane took off in Tallinn. The front gear of the plane wasn’t able to retract, but the Tupolev couldn’t turn back to Tallinn – the weather was too foggy for that. As the flight was supposed to end in Moscow, the closest place to land safely along the way was in Saint Petersburg.
- And, the record holder for the number of people on board a ditching plane – Airbus A320 of US Airways, Flight 1549. Also known as the “Miracle of the Hudson” Flight. It happened 10 years ago, on January 15.
The cause of this would-be catastrophic event was nothing more than a flock of geese which struck the engines. But thanks to the mastery of the Airbus’ pilots, and ingenuity of its construction, the 155 people on board remained uninjured.

The Only Airline That Never Had Flights

If you suddenly decide to find out how many airline companies there are in the world, you might get thoroughly confused. Some sources state that the number is higher than 5,000; others claim that there are about 800 commercial airlines. But whatever the truth is, that's still a lot! And among all these numerous air carriers, there’s a pretty unusual one: the thing is, it’s existed for 30 years but has never had a single flight!

Baltia, a US airline launched in 1989, had great ambitions. The carrier was planning to provide its passengers with high-quality service in all three of the classes it was going to offer. But getting permission is a long process. And the company claims that it still can't get the operational approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration! Baltia had already been operating for more than 25 years but it still hadn't transported a single passenger.

#planes #onboard #brightside

SUMMARY:
- The mass media was swarming with news about the new airline company and its plans to buy a couple of new, and several used, Boeing airplanes. But then, suddenly, all the articles about Baltia stopped, as if the airline had never existed.
- Despite its ambitious shopping plans, the company owned just one 37-year-old Boeing 747 aircraft. After being bought, the plane flew only once, from Willow Run Airport to Oscoda, Michigan, where it was left at the maintenance facility and never flew again.
- Baltia owners claim that they’re at the final stage of the Air Carrier Certification process, even though their website doesn't allow you to make any reservations.
- Modern airplanes are built lightning-proof! What's more, even though airplanes get hit by lightning much more often than you can imagine, there haven't been any crashes caused by lightning since the 1960s.
- When you enter a bathroom on board the plane and lock it, it remains unlocked! The truth is that the design of a plane's toilet door allows flight attendants to open it in case of an emergency.
- When a flight takes more than 13 hours, flight attendants can use special secret bedrooms to get rest and deal with exhaustion.
- Every time a plane flies, its fuselage experiences serious stress. As a result, sooner or later, the metal starts to crack, and it may lead to a crash.
- Statistically, more than 80% of the world's population is as terrified of flying as you are!
- What's the dirtiest place on a plane? Nope, not the bathroom! It's the tray table you open to enjoy your fish or chicken.
- In 2017, the British Airline Pilot Association interviewed 500 pilots, and 43% of them confessed that they did accidentally fall asleep while flying a plane.
- A small number of troubled people try to open the airplane's exterior door mid-flight.
- What do you picture when you hear the term the black box? Something black, right? However, the Flight Data Recorder (which is another name of the black box) is bright orange!

The Shortest 57-Second Passenger Flight in the World

At any given moment, there are about 10,000 planes in the air carrying over a million passengers around the world. Most of those people are up there to travel bigger distances in a shorter time because that’s what planes are for, right? So why would anyone take the world's shortest commercial flight with a mere 1.7-mile-long route?

Actually, it's how you can get from the island of Westray to the island of Papa Westray the fastest. Your time onboard will be just as shockingly short at 57 seconds! Well, that’s the record time planes reach when the wind is favorable. If not, you might have to endure a whole 2 minutes if you include taxiing time.

SUMMARY:
- When it’s time to board, you’ll approach a small plane out on the tarmac. It's a Britten-Norman Islander, a light regional aircraft with 8 seats.
- By the way, traveling by a Britten-Norman Islander is more or less green, at least in comparison to other planes.
- Admittedly, the plane doesn't go too high into the air as it flies over the water. And next thing you know, you’re landing.
- You leave the aircraft, happy and impressed, and here's a surprise for you! As one of those who made this trip for the first time in their life, you get a special certificate!
- Local teachers, doctors, bankers, and other islanders use this service on a regular basis. Amazingly, the Orkney Inter-Isles Air Service has already transported more than 1 million passengers!
- Loganair opened this route in 1967 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017. The company treasures this route, saying that it's a world-famous jewel of their network.
- On the other end of the flight-time spectrum, Singapore Airlines launched the longest non-stop flight in the world in October 2018. The ultra-long-range plane covers a mind-blowing 9,700 miles (15,600 km) when it travels from Singapore Changi Airport to New York.
- And if you ever get a chance, be sure to check out South-African-based budget-friendly Kulula Airlines. This company has become famous thanks to its planes' bright green and often hilarious paint jobs!
- Are you a fan of Hello Kitty? Then you'll love the Taiwanese airline EVA. Several of this company’s aircraft are decorated in Hello Kitty style, with every single detail reminding you of this adorable cartoon cat.
- If you've chosen Air Malta to fly from London Gatwick Airport to Malta, then it’d be your lucky day! The airline launched an in-flight spa service free of charge! Two professional masseuses offer passengers neck, feet, scalp, and hand massages during the flight.
- If you’re looking for a bit of extreme in your life, you can try blind booking, also called mystery flights, by German low-cost airline Eurowings.
- In 2011, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines decided to help its passengers network during flights. The airline partnered with Facebook, and together they created an opportunity for people to see the LinkedIn and Facebook profiles of other passengers to choose their flight neighbor.

A 7-Year-Old Airport Never Had a Flight for a Reason

The idea of building one large, modern airport that would handle most of the flights in Berlin was met with enthusiasm. This airport was supposed to become the third biggest airport in Germany, after Frankfurt and Munich. But the opening has been put off several times and is already almost 3,000 days overdue. Some people even believe that the new airport is doomed and will have to be torn down and rebuilt.

What could be so wrong with the airport that it would fail to open for so many years? Well, at the very last moment, the airport's opening is called off due to some mysterious technical issues...

How to switch off these light bulbs? 5:20
The bankruptcy of the main tenant 5:44

#airports #brandenburg #aviation

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- At first, the construction of the airport was supposed to cost about 2.2 billion dollars (2 billion euro), which really isn’t that much, speaking about airports. But no such luck! Today, the number has already reached a staggering 8.2 billion dollars (7.3 billion euro), and that's not even the final figure!
- The construction of the airport started in 2006, and the plan was to open the airport in the summer of 2012. However, the opening has been put off several times and is already almost 3,000 days overdue.
- One of the main problems (yep, there are lots!) is a fire-alarm system which turns out to be too complicated and, what’s worse - faulty!
- When the airport was testing their efficiency with all those volunteers, each check-in desk had to serve about 60 passengers per hour. Unfortunately, check-in staff only managed to handle half that number.
- There are serious structural problems with the ceiling. In short, the roof may actually collapse. That's probably because it's twice as heavy as its authorized weight.
- Nowadays, all 750 flight information displays have to be replaced since they’ve been working since the original opening date and have sadly reached their limit.
- It's located pretty far away from the city, and not all the passengers will be willing to make such a long journey to catch a short direct flight. It's true that some big international airports, let's say, Tokyo Narita Airport, are situated far from the cities they serve.

Passengers Survived the Miracle on the Hudson: Things You Might Not Know

Ten years ago, the world of aviation was flabbergasted by an event that was later named the Miracle on the Hudson. That day, two airline pilots had to use the only runway they could safely reach for an emergency landing - the narrow expanse of the Hudson River in New York City.

Besides the two pilots, there were 150 passengers and three cabin crew members on board the plane. It's shocking how fast something so life-altering and scary can happen. One moment the pilots fill their jet with fuel, and the plane takes off, and two minutes later, it loses all the engine power and is about to drop out of the sky. How could such a critical situation not take any human lives? Let's figure it out.

US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River New York, USA on 15 January 2009: By Greg L - originally posted to Flickr as Plane crash into Hudson River, CC BY 2.0
Animation is created by Bright Side.

Music by Epidemic Sound

SUMMARY:
- On January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 was a routine flight from La Guardia Airport in New York to Charlotte Douglas Airportin North Carolina.
- All the equipment worked without a flaw, and the weather was great, with 10-mile (16 km) visibility that provided the cockpit crew with a breathtaking view of the Hudson.
- At 3:27 PM, with the plane moving at 316 ft (96 m) per second, captain Sullenberger noticed a flock of Canada geese just a moment before the plane struck the birds.
- Sully didn't lose his presence of mind, even after he realized that both engines had shut down. He understood there was no chance that the aircraft would end up somewhere on a runway, undamaged.
- He tried to find a way to get the plane to the runway, but at 3:29 PM, Sullenberger repeated his words, only this time, he sounded even more sure: the plane WAS going to end up in the river.
- The impact was hard, but the plane was afloat and miraculously intact. Almost in unison, the pilots exclaimed, It wasn't as bad as I had thought!
- But the situation was far from safe. One panicked passenger opened one of the rear doors, and the flight attendant couldn’t manage to seal it again. Water started to fill the plane through this door as well as through a hole in the fuselage.
- The Hudson water temperature was just 41 degrees F (5 degrees C), and some people had to stand knee-deep in the water to be rescued since some of the inflatable slides were partially submerged.
- All the passengers and crew members were alive; there were only 5 serious injuries, and 78 people received some sort of treatment, mostly for hypothermia and minor injuries.
- When the authorities investigated afterward, they tested whether it would have been possible for the plane to return to La Guardia airport safely. The answer was no.

40 Hours Inside a B747! Cargo Mission Over the Himalayas (US - Pakistan - Nepal)

I was on a humanitarian mission inside a National Airlines B747-400BCF, delivering medical cargo aids. I flew from Frankfurt Hahn to Islamabad, Pakistan and over the Himalayas to Kathmandu, Nepal. The flight originated from the USA carrying nearly 80 tons of USAid, destined for Pakistan and Nepal.

Our B747 landing into Kathmandu was a thriller! After passing through the last clouds, the entire Kathmandu valley came into sight. Our descent was much steeper than the usual 3 degrees glideslope; it required all the breaks we had to come to a full stop at the end of the runway in Kathmandu, due to high altitude.

What a great privilege to be part of the team to send these much-needed supplies around the world, also to be able to document behind the scenes of such a mission! I felt like “an airplane man” staying inside the B747 for 40 hours, from dark to light to dark again! That’s just 2 days in the life of a charter cargo crew! Certainly very different to the passenger airlines.

Once The World's Largest Plane: The Story Of The Ilyushin Il-62

An aircraft's size can often play a key role in forming and cementing its reputation and legacy. Indeed, you only have to look at the vast crowds that the Antonov An-225 draws to see that, for many people, the larger the aircraft means a greater spectacle. When the Ilyushin Il-62 was launched, it immediately nabbed the title of the world's largest aircraft at the time. Let's take a look at the history of this pioneering rear-engined aircraft.

the 64 day longest flight in history

.Today we are going to have a look at the 64 day long flight and how to pilots managed to stay that long in the air. This world record was a marketing plan from the hacienda hotel in las vegas to gain some media attention. One of the pilots was actually a slot machine mechanic that has failed to set a world record for the longest flight already twice. To imagine staying for such a long time mid air is already insane, but just imagine, that they had to refuel the airplane twice a day, had to eat and sleep on the airplane.
How long is “really long” when it comes to flights? A trip from Dubai to LA, or Sydney to, let’s say, Houston? Or maybe the longest flight in your life was that journey from Kansas to New York when you were trapped between a snoring guy and a crying baby? In fact, the longest flight in the world lasted for 64 days and 22 hours! a

Cessna 172 airplane took off in December, 1958 and didn’t land until February of 1959! How could that happened? How did the pilots manage to stay in the air for so long? Where did they get the fuel from? What did they eat, and did they ever sleep? Let's find out!
