Pilot Posted November 5, 2008 #1 Posted November 5, 2008 Take a look at this video. http://www.chilloutzone.de/files/08102703.html WOW!
Schlepporello Posted November 5, 2008 #2 Posted November 5, 2008 Wow! Talk about a recovery! I would have never thought of turning the plane sideways and relying on the rudder for lift. I'd have folded and died.
mbrood Posted November 5, 2008 #4 Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) That's the video that's been circulating widely on the internet as fact, when in fact it is a complete fiction. At first blush, the aircraft looks real and the wing separation seems authentic. If you listen closely, you'll hear that the engine sounds are not properly synchronized, the radio chatter seems out of place and the people are definitely over-acting. But for its intended purpose, KillaThrill got a great viral advertising campaign. Congratulations! Near the middle of the video the aircraft is inverted, though it's been altered to make it appear like it's flying right side up. The landing gear is wrong position for it to be flying right side up. Since it's flying inverted, the wrong wing is missing. Also, the vertical stabilizer switches sides quickly as the airplane slides out of view to help continue the illusion it was right-side-up the next time the airplane comes into view. you can google "killathrill" for more details... Here's another... an airliner goes down in the surf... great computer work... but fake again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivSgzxFcdg&hl=en&fs=1 It's not impossible to lose a wing and land safely... but the BODY of the plane better provide lift... Here's a real one... F-15 with just one...

Venturous Randy Posted November 5, 2008 #5 Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Well, it looked pretty real. There was a point or two I wondered about with the focus changes and all. RandyA Edited November 5, 2008 by Venturous Randy
Bigfoot Posted November 6, 2008 #7 Posted November 6, 2008 mbrood is correct. This video is indeed fake.
