Instagram - AdamTheWooATW While I appreciate the comments and opinions of everyone please keep in mind that everything being said was thought about in depth constantly over the last couple weeks before this decision . Take care and stay safe .
My Dad is a pilot, so I've spent a significant amount of time spend in airplanes and in airports. This is so profoundly strange to see. This video will be a peculiar historical document someday, documenting this bizarre moment in history we're living through. Glad you made it home safe, and a big tip of the cap to the folks who helped get you there.
Famous Among the Barns They are operating at a loss aren’t they. They probably lost money and didn’t even break even on that flight. In normal times that flight definitely would have been cancelled wouldn’t it.
Hey Adam the woo! I’m an airline worker, specifically a flight attendant for Alaska airlines and I appreciate all you do and the uploads and all your videos. You have kept me entertained on my layovers more times than I can say and I’m glad you saw the empty planes we all see at work! It’s sad! I miss the people and the way it was but I do understand the seriousness of this virus and what we have to do to protect one another. I’m glad you made it home safe. God bless you and your family and have a happy Easter 🐣
Our original comment was made to illustrate that during a typical onboard airline video (often the take off and landing portion of a specific flight) one usually hears in the background adults coughing and fussy kids crying. The fact that this background din is not heard on Adam's video only reinforces the notion that the plane is far from full and therefore we are all living in a creepy and historic moment in history. The coughing observation has nothing to do with the current Covid-19 pandemic...coughing is simply part of the background noise one usually hears during any commercial flight. We apologize if our original comment was opaque.
Gotta feel weird to fly at time no one at airport really and no traffic around or on plane much now. not sure when ever see that again after we get past this virus chaos.
No its not creepy that the plane is empty. Whats creepy are you obedient government slaves. This is the direct result of YOUR obedience because you haven't yet realized that as you praise flags and pigs (police) while singing anthems with your right hands over your COWARDLY hearts, you have failed to realize that TYRANNY has become LAW. You have begged, marched, fought, voted for, and DEMANDED the chains that bind you. CONGRATS! The only thing "creepy is YOU.....
Either with pandemic or not, either with full planes or empty planes , either full of people at the airport or not.people always never satisfied regardless what the situation is there always human beings complaining.full planes complaining, empty planes feels creepy.come on people come to your senses.
That’s for the shout out for us Airline workers! It’s weird loading flights with hardly any bags or passengers. Hopefully this will end soon and we can get back to a semi normal life! Love your videos! Stay healthy and safe!
Kudos to flight crews everywhere for having to come in and shuffle the masses around. They too need to be commended and thanks for doing so. Welcome back to SoCal!
Glad you got back ok. That little “lightning rod” is a “static disperser” used to shed away static electricity in flight. Usually placed on the wing tips or near the fuel jettison outlet. Yes, a little turbulence is usually encountered in most clouds. It’s about the differing air density inside the cloud vs outside of it. Even right after 9/11, I’ve never been in a plane that sparse. Surreal.
@@TheDailyWoo We call them static wicks, and static dischargers. You may also be interested in knowing that you were on a legacy USAirways A321 enhanced version. I could tell by the LED lights. The barking dog you heard was the hydraulic PTU. The yellow electric pump was powering the green hydraulic system while moving the flaps. They are always slow on the ground like that. I have worked on, and taxied that plane many times. It's a shame that there weren't enough people on that flight to even pay for the fuel.
Wow. Thanks for showing us what it’s like out there. I can imagine it must have been strange seeing one of the worlds busiest airports a ghost town. Great vlog. Thank you Adam. Stay safe.
Thanks for taking me on the plane with you I've never been on it was pretty cool for me to see. It hardly look like you were even moving from that high up. Which is amazing. Thanks for the virtual experience.
I really hope we get over this pandemic soon. My hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted, everyone who is currently ill, and everyone who is not ill trying to stay healthy. Everyone is in my prayers. We will get through this!
We will be like this for at least another 6 months until a vaccine come out. So we have to decide to keep the economy shutdown for another 6 months or go back to normal. When swine flu happened in 2009, nothing was shut down and that was just as bad as this virus.
@@dennis1345 It is not his fault. He obviously waited until almost no one is flying. The big problem are they still have international flights. But in general all passenger flights should have been grounded at the end of February. Our government is horrible and has done nothing. If they shut down flights at the end of February, then most of the spread would have been stopped.
Thank you for being smart and promoting safe behavior. It's people like you that are going to help many skeptics in this battle learn to take this seriously. Good luck and stay safe and may the force be with you always
Thank you for your service pilots, flight attendants, airport crew, nurses, doctors, grocery workers, truck drivers, anyone currently working out there during these times. Stay safe yall.
Flight attendant here and I’ve had no more than 20 people on my flights.. and that’s being Generous.. I’m talking less than 10 people on my flights .. 😳 glad people are listening and staying home
Blue collar Silver dollar I’m on a regional aircraft .. only holds 79 people .. it definitely is surreal seeing the airports empty but it’s for the best right now .. :/
Craig Campbell it just depends on the flight attendants .. we always have them on before take off and final decent and that’s to do our compliance checks .. other than that we have them either completely off or on low lighting
Adam: I'm going back to Cali, Cali Cali. I'm going back to Cali. His parents: I don't think so! Great footage. Thank you! It is interesting to see how empty the airport and the plane were. Welcome back to Cali!
There’s something about watching this that’s terribly sad. To quote the Wicked Witch of the West as she melted near the end of The Wizard of Oz, “What a world.....what a world”.
Omggg while you guys are talking about how empty everything is, I'm over here freaking out because that's my dad you see out the window before the plane takes off from Orlando😊
outstanding shipmate. Takes me back when I was in the Navy. I left San Diego July 1983 . back to Houston Texas my home. I almost bent down and kissed the ground. Thank God I was home.
@@spiker039 I think attendance will be noticibly down. I'm planning on going opening week to test my theory, and I'm sure Adam and the rest of the Disney vloggers will too..
Adam ~ You never fail to find something interesting to report on, no matter what the circumstances are. These are surreal times, for sure , & we are all clinging to you to keep us going. Thanks again for presenting details of your adventures ~ you're the BEST!
This is amazing!!! Nobody will ever experience this in the airports and on planes again...I was a frequent flyer in my 20’s to and from Europe and I cannot get over the footage..I’m so envious Adam!
Glad you had the nerve to fly back then. While everyone was so fearful things were going to fall apart I just chilled out and thought about how many businesses were making bank off of our fears. Lots of computers, generators, survival packs, insurances, etc..This country and the world is so weird anymore. Pandemics come and they go. You either make it or you don't. A godless world is a fearful world.
10:30 It’s called a static discharger. As the aircraft accumulates static electricity, it bleeds it off. N over accumulation of static electricity will result in radio interference.
Adam - I understand how hard this decision to return to your home in California must have been. It was sad to see you have to leave your family and Florida. I could tell by your voice that it was a tough thing to do. I’m glad that you made it home safely. Please be safe and stay healthy my friend. Thank you for your videos and posts. The world is in a real mess right now and I look forward to the day that we can live our lives again even somewhat like we used too. I had to cancel my yearly August trip to WDW. That hurt. I won’t be able to return to WDW again until August of 2021...I hope. Be safe my friend.
Right?? That's exactly how I feel! It is like people disappeared completely. Roads are empty, airports are empty, stores are empty, etc. it is really creepy.
Love your videos, have been a fan for a few years now. I know you are happy to be back home but I loved the rural Florida scenes. Take care and be safe. God Bless and have a Happy Easter! Paul in Connecticut
Cleaner planes, and probably less maintenance delays for the next year when things go back to normal because airlines have tons of time to get all the time consuming yearly maintenance done on their entire fleet. The usually have lots of planes out of commission for up to a month at a time for routine maintenance, painting, checks, etc. Normally they do all that on a scheduled rotation to make sure they have enough planes operational to cover all their flights. Now they can just service and do everything they need to their whole fleet with no issues. Every plane is going to be squeaky clean, fixed up, and looking brand new once this is over.
@@benjaminburditt134 "Once this is over" That's a big assumption. Things might never get back to the way they were. The airline industry might only see a maximum of 30% of its previous customer base in the future.
I've traveled for work many times and I know this sounds weird to many but I get a warm fuzzy feeling flying into los Angeles everytime. I guess its just being happy to be home. Often times I get to see Disneyland fireworks being set off as we fly bye. It's the best. Welcome home buddy!
Kevin Ball a lot of airlines are filling their passenger cargo bays with commercial cargo which is helping them stay afloat. Because there are so little people flying and so few pieces of luggage, many aircraft are able to take a decent amount of essential cargo like masks and respirators to various locations which not only helps cover some of the fuel cost but also helps to distribute medical supplies. Some international airlines are even filling the passenger cabins with cargo on the seats and in the overhead bins.
So happy you’re home safe! What an interesting experience that was to witness & seeing everything all empty! Loved that Downtown LA shot when you were landing.
That is crazy! Glad you made it back to SoCal. I'm guessing not a lot of profits were made by the airline on your flight. Cheers brother. I discovered your channel during this lock-down and have pretty much been Benge watching. Cheers brother. Stay safe.
I grew up in SoCal. Your descent into LAX made me miss it a bit. And yes! the weather! I lived in Orlando for 4 years and NEVER got used to the humidity. SoCal has the absolute best weather.
Good video, Very strange to see the airports and flight so empty, but I am glad you made it home safely. Best place to hunker down for this is at home. I think you made the right decision. Stay safe and stay healthy, and thank you so much for keeping the interesting content coming, for all of us who are having to stay home. Cheers from Atlanta.
That's so surreal. I was just at the Orlando airport last year, rode that monorail and everything, and seeing it THAT barren is more than just surreal. It's downright eerie.
My hubby and I went through there and back in early 2017 (we’re from Lynnwood, WA; went to WDW for our dream trip); we also remember how busy the place was! Seeing it like this now is so eerie!
I've never been to LAX, but seeing MCO after being there 20+ times looked like a scene from Twilight Zone. Glad you made it back safely. I was supposed to leave today from DFW to visit my parents who live in The Villages, Florida, but instead will be seeing them when this is over. Their apartment complex has been shut down to visitors for a month now. I worry about them each day but feel they are at the best place for now. Hoping that this will all be over soon. Take care everyone.
Thanks Adam for posting this. I was able to show my son, who is in the Navy, and daughter-in-law that it was possible for her to fly to him instead of staying separated. They are newlyweds and it's been rough to not be together. She now has a flight booked and can be quarantined together. You've saved the day! :)
I'm glad these places were empty. Makes me feel better about your safety. And I can't help commenting, you have got the brightest white socks! Impressive. :)
Omg...obsessed every time you pushed an elevator button I'm yelling at the screen "use your sanitizer, use your sanitizer!" Glad you're home. That plane was making weird noises.
I really enjoyed this blog it gives us a real in-depth look about the airlines I knew there was not as much traffic but gracious I did not know it was almost none. Leave it to you Adam to do it up right I’m so glad you were on the move again I have always adored your videos. But I am not a big fan for daily Disney so I am thrilled to see you out there using your skills and Spidey sense abilities and creativity I think you’re the best and that is the truth.👍🏻👍🏻
Home sweet home. Welcome back, Adam. I think that "rock" you saw was Kennecott/Rio Pinto copper mines. I live too close to this place. If I were younger I'd get out of dodge. You know I swear I've read a book about the isolation of towns and hiding people. Desperation by Stephen King? 🤔 Any ideas, friends? Loved the flight. So glad you're back! Whew.
I went to Orlando in February 2002 because I realized how cheap everything would be & no crowds. I was floored at, almost no one there! Well this event has out done those days!! So glad you’ve made it home. There is no place like home!!
The emptiness of the terminals as you entered them reminded me of when I took a flight after 9/11 through DFW. When I traveled through it a day before 9/11 just normal airport activity. When a class I was attending was finished 2 weeks later, and the FAA opened flights again, DFW was a ghost town.
That's so eerie to see the airport and plane so empty, especially with the lights off. I love flying. It lets you see the world from a new perspective. I've seen some interesting mysterious things on the ground from the view of an airplane, especially when flying over Death Valley
Love the Video Adam. Your past group of Florida videos were some of your best works. I'm in Central Florida and we wish you back when things get better. Take care and be safe in California. :D
Adam, I just recently started watching your videos. I have really enjoyed them. What an interesting plane ride to California! Kind of eerie with hardly any passengers at all. Take care. Will be looking forward to more videos from you.
btw- wanted to add... that lightning rod you saw on the airplane is called a "Static wick" which disperses static electricity so the radios will operate without interference or static. the "pod" it was located on is a aerodynamic Shroud that covers the actuators for the flaps. Lightning is pretty harmless to an airplane when its in the air because its not touching the ground. As for the turbulence in clouds you are right it is more so in it... but also below it... because updrafts are one reason clouds form... often as a pilot I always ask ATC for flight above the clouds... smoother there. Anyways Love your videos! Very entertaining! Take care and stay safe out there!
Thank you so muck Adam for another one of your travel vlogs I’m glad you made it home from Florida but I will say I loved all your vlogs of your time spent in Florida again be safe and welcome back to California and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure adventure
