Well, that’s certainly spectacular! Hard to imagine it passing the risk assessment here in Blighty, though. :exploding_head:

You better hope the maintenance people did their job because there is no place here for an emergency landing. :slight_smile:

I’m not sure what is “never before seen” about it. I was a front seat passenger for that same arrival in similar conditions. The Captain was a young and quite pretty Nepalese girl. She nailed it just like the landing in the video.

Video title aside, that is an amazing approach. From about the 8min mark onwards is amazing.

Hum…all of a sudden the video is now unavailable. What the hell? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: What did you guys do? :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Yesterday I made the mistake of reading the video comments (protip: never do that) and it looks like the uploader was being trolled pretty hard (you are such a lucky pilot, so near to crashing! etc) so maybe they just pulled it. People are weird.

That’s a shame. That was a pretty and amazing video. Both the flying skills and just the view of the environment they were flying in. I was admiring all the little houses I saw on the mountain sides thinking “Wow, what a view to wake up to and go to bed with every day!”

So ahh… I found this rather informative video on how to start the engines on a B737…

She’s… Very informative. I could watch her for hours!

“Somebody shoot me.” (My thoughts after about 5 minutes. )

I mean, not a surprise right?.. Engine oils are a well known toxic substance when ingested in a multitude of ways, I pretty much breath in fumes all day and we don’t en masse feel like this though so I wonder if it’s some sort of combination or secondary effect. Not much else chemical wise that can be released inside the cabin though.

Well now I have an excuse.

No.
The only surprise here is that someone actually does research on the subject.
I’ll buy the guy a beer, should we ever meet.
