From what I've heard the guy filming it was a Seneca grad.

I'm glad that he's so knowledgeable about what's happening on the flight deck at any given moment. There's no way that I could have figured out when they applied the brakes and hit the thrust reversers...because I've never, ever seen those devices used during a landing.

Freakin' pansy! "that flight changed my life forever!" Wuss.

I learned alot from the video though, apperntly I call flaps, speed brakes, and I've been confusing the threshold with the outer marker for years now!

I love how right after he 'calls V1' they reject. Is there some way I can get this purged form the net so more people aren't made retarded by it?

There's 12 minutes of my life I wouldn't mind getting back

I love how he knows when V1/VR is by his watch, Foolish me I use my ASI.

"So close to death" but if you look there was still a lot of rwy remaining when they turned off onto the twy.

I know my life has been changed forever

LMAO!!! I can only assume he didn't graduate near the top of his class.

Me too! I think my glideslope check will make much more sense now.

"...fiery ball of death", "we're outta here, suckers", "These could have been my last words on earth". I don't know about that. With a bath of that high grade aviation fuel burning you to a cinder you may have muttered one or two more choice phrases.

Still LMAO after two edits. Thanks for sharing.

Did Rain Man do the commentary for this thing???

Yeah, I'm Charlie Babbit.

The reason why the pilots rejected the take off because some jackass in the back had his portable electronic device on.

If he had only paid attention to the safety breifing.

That was a very very not good video. I think if I had to sit beside this clown on a flight back from Japan, Id pray for that engine to blow up outside his window...hopefully rub him out lol. What a tool.

sounds like the crew did what they needed to do...and that our director was either drunk or high.....

In defense of the director, for most non aviation people a rejected TO could be a pretty scary experience...

The director was an aviation ethusiast who has probably read a few books about airplanes... don't be so hard on him!

Not everyone can live up to the cool, calm Seneca grad mystique!

Well I just got dumber watching that.

Can't wait until the next time I line up for takeoff at the outer marker.

I just feel a little sick inside, knowing that he was probably sharing his "knowledge" with other passengers.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I couldn't help but thinking, no wait seeing, John Malkovich play the lead character in this rivoting tale...

I think he was more scared then the baby....jeez

I can't believe I sat through the entire thing. I feel used and cheated......

Don't worry Cloud, just watch this Simulator video instead and you'll feel better:

If I made that video, I would be really embarassed. I certainly wouldn't put it on the internet! WTF?

Luckily, I didn't watch the whole thing.

The tires went flat after returning to the gate.

There is a lot of heat generated by the brakes during a rejected takeoff.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That kid is WAY too much. Must be an air cadet to know so much...if he's an "airline brat" I sure hope he didn't show his pilot parent that one - that'd get my kid out of the will.

I'd rather watch 12 minutes of Blazin Hazen throwin' down than that crap again.

I'd rather fly with him too. Cause he's Blazin...

So Kelowna Pilot - how'd you like Japan?
