After 9/11 all airports became way more secure then they were before the attacks , airport did very detailed checks on luggage and confiscated any thing that was sharp or could be made into a stabbing instrument. Before 9/11 knives were allowed to be taken on airplanes which is how the terrorists were able to take box cutters on with them.
I feel bad for the pilot. Not the first time he'd have to give that announcement, and certainly not the last. He's seen it, he's sad, but all his passengers can't help themselves, and ignore him to gawk.
Oh, not just days, months. A big fire in almost any circumstance can smolder for months. My friends used to have a property with seven giant trees and they'd rake up the leaves into one big pile, light it, and it would smolder and burn until spring. The only way to put it out was to spread out the whole pile. When the towers collapsed all the heat from the fires collapsed into a dense heap, that radiated heat and still burned everything inside it. Because that pile was so big and dense, and because crews were dedicated to recoving and identifying every single piece of it that could be returned to victims' families or analyzed for the investigation, it took them a long time to pull apart that pile.
And thanks to Greedy Business p3dos And Cowardly 9/11 families; Made Damn Sure we Stay Down And Future Generations wont be able to Experience What was Truly There But Forced to Remember ONLY the Negative !?
@@mrdouglasfromthedepartment8440I suspect EVERYONE was moving to the left of the plane. And it was starting to up set the balance a little. Plus they were about to land
There are a myriad of reasons the pilots want passengers in their seats during a landing, the least of which is so your head doesn't slam into the ceiling if they hit unexpected turbulence.
Hello to everyone who watches this video and who has heard about 5-year-old Charlie Holt getting killed in this restaurant --- and who wonders how the Charlie Holt accident happened. Read my explanation of it below --- however, I also ask you to go to a video which is entitled "One trip around the rotating accident atop the Westin Bonaventure Hotel" to watch how those big window panes and pillars keep sliding past anyone who stands near the windows --- and you can see how this creates pinch points with the bolted-down furniture in the restaurant that is mounted on the restaurant's rotating floor and mounted too close to the windows so as to create a shearing effect every time a furniture piece on the moving floor moves past one of those stationary window panes..
They say that a picture is worth ten thousand words --- and that is why just a few seconds of watching this video clears up my confusion of how Charlie Holt died in this restaurant. Before watching this video I thought that the entire restaurant room revolved except the center of the restaurant --- much like those rotating buckets that used to be on top of the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants --- so that the only demarcation between moving and nonmoving parts of the restaurant could be at the center where patrons get off the elevator. But this video shows that the entire building is instead stationary and that only the floor inside the restaurant moves like a circular conveyor belt and like a turntable. I can see how this would create pinch points between those window panes and pillars, and any bolted-down furniture which is placed too close to the outer perimeter of the inside of the restaurant so that someone like a child could get trapped between any one of those many pinch points which exist all around the outside circumference of the restaurant. This means that the Charlie Holt accident could have been prevented by not mounting the seats on the restaurant floor so close to the stationary wall and those bothersome window panes so as to allow at least two feet between the pinch points so that even an adult could stand between those pinch points without getting hurt.
GM, I'm wondering if this flight from Houston (IAH) was a Continental Airlines flight..? I was working on 9-11 at LGA where every flight had to land ASAP. LGA has very limited space.. planes were stacked everywhere. Thank You for sharing your video. God Bless
On the same day this video was recorded, then President George W. Bush gave his famous bullhorn speech at Ground Zero to the firefighters and rescue workers after one of the men said they can't hear him. _"I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."_ - George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States
I delivered eggs to NYC in 78-80 very early in the am and saw the Towers close entering and leaving NYC, they were beautiful. Then saw them many times from '85- 2001 passing by on the NJ Turnpike doing deliveries. About a month after the collapse I had a delivery for the Red Cross hauling eye wash for the clean up heroes after the collapse, delivering in Brooklyn. It was the first time I saw the area fairly close from the BQE, I278, and it was still smoking and not seeing the towers there was strange and heartbreaking. I knew they would be gone ,but to see it in person, and not on TV, really drove it home.
So awful to think that on a plane just like that one, just three days earlier, people had lost their lives as they flew into the buildings these people were looking at the remains of.
