Flight From WW2 Era Returns After Years Of Missing 

lets ignore the fact, that they didnt even use oxygen masks when the plane had a giant hole in it, and somehow still survived

As a pilot can confirm this happens to me every other Tuesday

As a British Commando, I can indeed confirm that this was extremely accurate and happens 90% of the time when it's 1940.

As the captain of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in 1979, I can confirm these storms can send you back to WWII.

as a trained passenger, this happens about 6/10 flights

I like how every movie being set in a commercial airplane always have passengers with skillsets and resources convenient to the plot.

As a former high ranking Luftwaffe wing commander the plane flight patterns of the fighters were extremely accurate making this movie extremely accurate.

His "This movie was based on a true story. Just Kidding." cracked me up. lolol

As a passenger this was very realistic and accurate as this happens 75% of the time when I’m on a flight

As a commercial pilot with tons of experience in Cessna's, I can 100% confirm the accuracy of this movie. Boeing 757's could absolutely hold their own in a dogfight! Onboard radar is literally just an ipad installed in the cabin. People have to be able to remove it in case enemy fighters are tracking them.

As a passenger of this flight, I can confirm that this really did happen

as a man that has been on a plane trip to Ohio, I can confirm this is what all passengers experience 100% of the time

As a flight attendant, it happened to me a couple of times. Always in 1940 during the WW2 in France.

As a Luftwaffe fighter pilot, I can say that this is very accurate. This happened to me last Sunday.

As a german engineer i can say this is completely true. We have developed 262s very early but were too afraid to use them. We also gave them air to air missles

As the mechanic on the aircraft in question, I can say this happened. I managed to learn fluent German during the flight as well and helped negotiate the landing fees.

There's always a historian, doctor, an engineer, a badass, soldiers, bad guys onboard. Always. Edit: whoa I was not expecting this much likes XD.

I see a big problem here : The historians said it's 1940 , but the Nazi fighters i saw was the Messerschmitt 262 which had its first flight in 1941 and wasn't even mass-produced and used widely until 1944-1945 . So basically having such amount of those Me262s in the attack of a small town in 1940 is just... kinda unreal

“The only Person that can fly the damn plane”

I remember my grandfather telling me about an aircraft carrier from 1980 showing up at Pearl Harbor.

Considering how ME 262 jets were made in 1944 and it’s 1940, maybe those ME pilots also time traveled.

Commercial planes don't have a radar that detects other planes, they use transponders to tell eachother coordinates.

i love how nigel was just minding his own business and then the plane just randomly gets into contact with him, hell of a sentence

Just loved how this 757 is more manueverble than a fighter jet

"This movie was based on a true story, just kidding" I fucking died lol

Let's just ignore how a commercial airplane is somehow extremely more maneuverable during evasive flying than a combat aircraft

Love your recap style!

It's good to know that commercial airlines ensure that all their planes have passengers with diverse occupations, who can help in an emergency

Let’s ignore the fact that there were ME-262’s flying beside the passenger jet in 1940. The Me-262 first flew for the military in 1944

To clarify the plot. A commercial airliner teleports into ww2, gives some guy its radar, teleports back and everyone is fine. The writers were not holding back on this one. Incredible stuff.

As a war thunder player, the 20 mm MG151s and the 30mm Mk.108/3s on the 262s would obliterate any aircraft they touched, and the 262 fired more than several 30mm rounds. Totally realistic

The Nigel ending was actually awesome ngl

Man is proving his teacher wrong when he got an A- on writing about a movie.

As a person who worked in aircraft maintenance for 40 years I can confirm that this Boeing 757 type model clone sort of plane is indeed built to take a pelting of bullets from WW2 Luftwaffe Me262 jet fighters in 1940 that first flew in 1944. Always.

As a passenger I do have to say that we were all safe and sound even tho we almost died and I passed out like 50 times we were ok

-There was no bombing of St. Nazaire* in 1940, the only raid that was conducted on St. Nazaire was by the British in March of 1942 when they assaulted the German held dry dock. -The JU88 bombers shown are period correct. -ME-262 jet fighters were only used in mid 1944-1945. -The missile that was shot was an R4M 4kg (8lbs) unguided rocket. -30mm shells fired from a ME262's MK-108 cannon only need around 1-3 hits to down a 4 engined Bomber, let alone what I believe is a 757 that has wing internal fuel storage and is made out of cardboard. -Technically it is possible for ME262 (870km/h) to catch up to a 757 (850km/h). Although ME262s were no night fighters and wouldn't have been operating during low light conditions. -It is arguable how the ability to pull up compares on these 2 aircraft at top speed, modern airliners are surprisingly nimble due to their large control surfaces, but it is unlikely that they would outmaneuver a 262, but when they are both flying towards the ground at V-max one might argue that the 262 will suffer compression more due to smaller control surfaces. -England is literally 20 minutes to the north of St.Nazaire It's interesting what they were going for but someone in this movie's production seems to not have done their homework again. In such a situation a 757 flying at cruise speed has nothing to fear. While the ME262s have a higher top speed, they would dramatically lose at climbing. All the 757 needs to do is point it's nose up 30 degrees and it'll be out of danger in a minute or two, doesn't matter whether it is a cloudy night or a clear day. From there you just figure out where you are by using a map and turn left, seeing as they somehow ended up in Switzerland.

12:17 gosh dude you made my heart stop for a second

As a pilot this happens to us all the time. Most of the time we have an engineer, historian and military onboard

These plane movies and shows seem to always have the right passengers at the right time

You got me for a second when you said it was a true story. I'm not normally so gullible with something so outlandish but well done.

Yeah... Having ME-262's in 1940 is a bit far-fetched...But how the hell were they ( the modern airliner ) able to climb up fast and escape the German jets ?? I mean, the airliner is not supersonic... Anyway...It was a great movie and I wouldn't mind watching it again...

Petition #2 to bring back “Hi, mystery recap here, today I am going to explain a [country][genre] movie from [year] , spoilers ahead, watch out and take care” at the beginning of every video, it feels incomplete not hearing it.

As a war enthusiast, i was very happy that the historians were on board.

THE PLOT TWIST AT THE ENDDDD

What's funny is the 767 (which I believe is the plane modeled in the movie) could fly far faster and higher than any aircraft available to the Germans in 1940. The movie, in order to create some kind of drama, magically gives the Germans Me 262s, which were not operational until 1944. While technically the 262 could keep up with them, if they simply climbed to the 767's typical cruising altitude of 39,000 feet, they would not be able to reach them. There's also the fact that if the Me 262 DID fire on the plane, they'd blow it out of the sky easily with their four 30mm cannons. Really, just so much of the movie is hilariously incorrect or impossible that I couldn't list them all lol It is funny though that the movie implies that the reason the British developed RADAR was due to a time travelling 767.

Being an aircraft engineer, there's so much wrong with the film.

The fighter planes caught the commercial jet. Love it

This movie is based on a true story, rolf you just made my day on a Sunday lol.

A friend of mine is a commercial pilot and said this happens a lot more often than people realize. It’s technically called a time loop and seems to always transports the airplane to sometime during WW2.

9:07 During WW2 fighters weren’t equipped with missiles rather the closest thing available at the time being rockets, which are unguided munitions.

As a 757 I can confirm this happened yesterday

That is one amazing twist

Funny how in these situations the planes always have the right people with the right skills needed to survive.

Aside from how the plane didn’t lose control or how the passenger didn’t pass out from that high altitude after a FIGHTER JET BLEW A HOLE TO THE PLANE, the ending was the one that actually had me reacted. Who knew Nigel still alive to actually experience the paradox as if he was the main character.

Thats a good video

You got me with the ending 😂

"based on a true story-" I got chills down my spine while I stand in our dark lighted living room.

Wait you could literally remove the radar from an aircraft in flight? I didn't even know that was possible. Also isn't it serendipitous that there happen to be two historians, an engineer and an old guy with just they gear they needed to drop the radar?!

the part when he says " the captain goes to fix landing gear even though he's the only one who can land the plane" almost spit my water out and choked. nice

That is a great story!

As a military jet pilot, I can confirm we do that regularly

Let’s also ignore the fact that the pilot let an untrained flight attendant to fly a plane

The most unbelievable thing about this, is how wide the aisle is between the seats.

Nigel Sitting back knew all along ! Good Movie

Love how the historians just dont care about the historical implication of this.

"This movie was based on a true story...just kidding" One of the funniest one-liners ever! And it earned you your latest subscription. No wonder you have almost 3 million subscribers!

Ryanair has flown into multiple time travel anomalies. Last year we barely managed to escape getting shot down by Stinger missiles while flying over Afghanistan during the cold war. Shocking really.

The discrepancy between the subtitles and what's said at 8:45 is hilarious

I need to remember that the narrator is trolling most of the time with his remarks. Thank god it’s not based on a true story.

"this movie was based on a true story" 🤨🤯 *"Just kidding"* *He got us in the first half not gonna lie*

The plane story’s are always my fav

I love this vid

11:59 he has still his headphones up and wounders why everyone is so happy

Isn't it always so amazing how everyone in movies somehow have everything needed for them all to survive

love how the analog display becomes pixelated, somehow

as a former Radar operator in WW2, I can confirm this is exactly how we got the technology back then.

I like how Captain Strong basically became a WW2 Ace using a commercial jet

For anyone interested: The German planes we see are Messerschmitt ME 262s. The first jet fighter to be used in combat. However, they weren't used until 1944, so the movie is 4 years too early showing them.

As a ostwind gunner, this is accurate we did saw a bladeless mitchell over our skiee

As a passenger aircraft, I can attest to the veracity of this account. I routinely go back in time with every flight. Why, just today, I flew over Julius Caesar's forces as he crossed the Rubicon.

Good thing they had a Captain Strong and not a Captain Weak. 😊👍

"Based on a true story." Was the best part.

Amazing and interesting that Nizel was actually on the plane.

That was so cool!

7:28 that is a HUGE inaccuracy.

"Luftwaffe" is not just the Nazi airforce, it literally just means air weapons. The modern German airforce is also called /Luftwaffe.

OMG THE PLOT TWIST AT THE ENDDDD

I love how the Me262 is flying in 1940, but also the fact they have missiles?? Small enough to fit on small jets?? Yeah no..

I'm studying for aeronautics and becoming a future aircraft mechanic. I can say every now and again I'll have to study a time traveled plane about once a week. This one movie adds up to one story I had so I can say for certain yeah this definitely happens. Especially when the ME262s failed to pull up that's what convinced me right there. A similar story happened about a week ago only it happened in WW1 and the fighter planes somehow kept up with this Boeing 767 and my battle buddy was shocked that they almost destroyed the aircraft.

I remember being in France during the war and looking up at that plane as it performed amazing night time acrobatic maneuvers above us. We talked about it for days. But finally I know what was going on lol. It was a funny old war.

As a guy who was in the landing gear bay of an airplane, I can confirm that it is indeed possible to access the landing gear bay mid-flight. It's also possible that all the windows will explode and no cabin pressure change will occur.

That girl was brave enough to drive the plane and didn’t hijacked it and also didn’t fail to drive it example descending to 000 feet

A movie where a plane or some sort of person from our timeline that time travels back to 1940s with a high budget and good director would be a amazing series.

Funny how 30mm HEAT shells only made holes in the plane. Not to mention Me262s in 1940 (they weren't being produced up until 1944), and that the cruise speed of an average Airbus passenger plane sits around 900kph - Me262s topped out at around 800 in leveled flight, therefore they could never have kept up with the Airbus.

Mystery Recapped never fails to amaze us with his comment like "This movie is based on a true story..."

I love this type of movies

I love how all the comments are about the errors in realism, like this movie isn't from the studio that brought us Megashark Vs. Crocosaurus and Nazis At The Center Of The Earth. Just enjoy the soothing recap and be glad you don't have to hear the actual "dialogue".

1:14 "passengers screaming in fear" as one guy is just smiling

I Love how the Me 262 have Air to Air missiles

Having time travelled as you see this posting is 3 months in the future I full concur with all facets of this story
