Shout out to the guy on the bridge who was has been waiting his whole life to be interviewed about these exact questions, and whose kid was bored out of their mind

An aircraft mechanic here, One of the many reasons we pump in dry air and reduce moisture content in the aircraft cabin is because water molecules present in the air will freeze into small ice blocks at high altitude which will damage a lot of the pneumatic system components including important pressure regulating valves and possibly block filters leading to blockages.

As an aerospace engineer, I pray for the day some random person walks up to me and asks me the questions Derek asked at the beginning of the video.
@AbiOlvera
As a nervous flyer, I’m so glad someone shared this video with me. Knowing the exit door literally cannot open in air dissolved that fear I had. Thank you!!!!

I was in a DC-8 at age eight. I discovered the little wheels in the arm rest and started to play with them. Almost immediately the cabin announcement system said "someone has moved the radar detector" and I sat stock still for the next 6 hours. It took me 30 years to reason that the radar deflection could not have been my fault
@siddharth-gandhi
Veritasium + Mentour wasnt a collab I was expecting! Both era defining channels I would say.

I always wanted to say how much I respect the decision of putting the ad last. It shows that you actually respect your audience and the respect is mutual.

I WAS NOT PREPARED TO SEE MENTOUR PILOT AT 2:17 great guy
@AA-vs9kh
Two YouTube legends: Veritasium and Mentour Pilot. Both in the peak of their game. Simply awesome.

As an aersopace engineer with more than 20 years working in aircraft development, I feel so glad to see a video like this. Factual and to the point. Great job!

It's great to see Petter Hornfeldt on this video (his Mentour Pilot channel is fabulous)

I remember watching some old science documentary about people living in a pressure chamber under water because the pressure was far more than one atmosphere. They complained that their carbinated drinks lost their fizz, the only flavor that didn't go bland was spicy food, and they had to be careful heating drinks because the temperature water boiled had increased. I know it's kind of the opposite of what happens on planes, but I just find it interesting that our sense of taste is so dependent on atmospheric pressure.

@SurfCatten
The ISS actually expands and contracts also every time it orbits due to thermocycling from exposure to the sun and space. That's one of the main reasons why space stations have a limited life.

12:55 A mobile phone has never caused an air accident. But I don't want to be the first person whose phone does. That would be embarrassing.
@BaseballRoadTripper
PETTER! So happy to see Mentour Pilot getting some love. His channel took me from extreme flight anxiety in 2016 to a regular flier who, gasps, enjoys it! I love learning more and more about flight/planes, it has opened up the world for me.
@pb4012
Similarly to some of the other comments, I studied Aeronautical engineering for four years, worked for Rolls Royce jet engines in the defence aerospace sector and been an airline pilot now for 12 years. I’ve loved Veritasium videos for years and this just proves to me how well researched these videos are. Thanks for all your effort, accuracy and clarity!
