Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for terror in this sky.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Bike is zero Nier.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
You are the day off, Roger, Get off my plane,
Roger Rogers, what's our Victor? Victor?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Enough is enough?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I haven't had to put these mucky pipe snakes on
this money.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's Gary and Shannon's Terror in the Skies on KFI.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Let's take these in order.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
These are my these are three. Well, I'm not really
an American, I'm more of a United person, but Southwest
and Delta, two of my favorite airlines, made it into
Terror in the sky.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Southwest on Friday, just over there over them, they were listening.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
To our show.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I don't know what happened at twelve oh three during
this show, maybe something on What's happening? M hmmm uh,
maybe something we got to that was troubling. Pilot was
obviously listening on the iHeartRadio app and the plane dropped.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
They were they were.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
On their ascent. It had just taken off from Burbank
and they're headed to Vague, so kind of headed out
towards the fourteen perhaps, and they dropped about five hundred
feet within just a couple of moments. There were some
obviously tense moments upon the plane passengers on social media
(01:15):
said they were startled by all of this. A thirty
three year old guy named Steve said he'd felt a
sudden drop about eight minutes into the flight, thought it
was turbulence. After about a two or three second pause,
he said, the plane went into free fall for about
eight time.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I would have lost my mind.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
People were screaming.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I felt my body come up and out of the chair,
and a few people said they actually hit their heads
on the ceiling.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
They said that. People were saying things like I don't
want to die. I thought we were all dead.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That was it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
In a lifetime of flying, I've never felt anything like it.
I asked you this. This was a plane Burbank to
Vegas on a Friday afternoon. We've all taken this flight.
What kind of weekend do you have in Vegas? After
you escaped deck like that? Yeah, I mean I am
balls to the wall, like seventeen cocktails before I even
(02:06):
leave the Vegas airport, I mesage lots.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's a thirty minute flight, right or whatever? Yeah, thirty
five minutes. Oh that the rest of those thirty five
minutes were just buzzing the whole time. Oh tilt came
on and explained there was a collision alert at that
sounds in the cockpit. They are trained you do what
the computer tells you. It's faster than you, it's more
advanced than you, and assuming that the other plane is
(02:29):
equipped with similar equipment, the computers will tell one plane
to go up and the other plane to go down,
so you're not both doing the same exact thing. The
other plane was a jet headed to Naval Base Ventura
County out at Point Magoo and was at a very
similar altitude at fourteen thousand and five when the Southwest
flight went down. There's still about five miles apart, within
(02:53):
about four hundred vertical feet of each other, but still
five miles out.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So scary.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Not entirely bad in fact, but a week sounds like
the pilot did exactly what they're supposed to do. On Saturday,
at Delta flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco took a
very unexpected turn when Marshall's Service borded the airplane and
arrested the copolt.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
They stormed the cockpit. All of the accounts were that
these people came on and it wasn't just this casual walk.
It was a storming of the cockpit. We still don't
know the identity of the pilot. We don't know what
they wanted him for. But they barged through. They removed
the co pilot, they cuffed him, they brought him back
down the aisle to deplane. Everyone, as you can imagine,
(03:43):
was shocked and stunned.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I heard Amy King report the possibility that there may
have been some child pornography, child sex allocations.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Against that'll do it.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
You can't do that, folks, continuing our terror in the skies. Though,
passengers were able to evacuate American Airlines jet at DA
Denver International on the emergency slides after the landing gear
caught fire during an aborted takeoff on Saturday. The video
that you've seen shared by passengers show the aircraft gathering
(04:15):
speed on the runway loud bang, strong vibrations. The plane stops,
a round piece of debris seen rolling from underneath the
plane and off the side of the runway. The five
people had to be checked by medics at the scene
because of injuries they suffered while getting down the slides
wanted to be taken in the hospital. Airline other passengers
(04:38):
received criticism online after the videos showed them carrying their
carry on bags while leaving a literal burning airplane.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Like there's no self realization, what the hell am I doing?
There's no shame in that of Oh, people are going
to see that I prioritized my carry on over the
guy in fifty six C getting out because I'm in
twenty two A.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Like, isn't that just the ultimate sign of selfishness and
complete disregard for another human's life.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think it's complete disregard. I don't know if it
goes so far as to selfishness.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Because but if that guy dies in the back and
I've got my carry on, that's like.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Uh that you should be you should be brought up
on charges. Yes, you'll eventually feel that, But I'm in
the moment. I don't know if there's if we're thinking
enough to not grab your carry on. We're just big
dumb animals.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I can't even though they tell you.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I mean, but there's no one on the planet says
leave it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
They're supposed to. Flight attendants are supposed to yell, report
Bob next to you, Hey, Gary, leave that. But it's
my it's your What That's the other question.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I have a favorite backpack. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, I mean, I just don't know what's important, that
important and to carry on for you to even prioritize
that in a situation. They may not make enough of
a big deal about that in the security video that
not one person watches.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Leave your crap.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I always, I always, my husband look at the flight
attendants when they do it.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I know then that's the right thing to do. Make
eye contact, be polite.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Is it the night I'm not paying attention.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
No, I know it's the right thing.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
My eyes are technically their eyes are a little bit
always that way. That's enough.
