  1. No way I'm showing my face after screaming like that😄.

    Glad no one was hurt in all seriousness though.

  2. Dumping fuel into the ocean more like it

  3. he said he was excited???

  4. Meh that's what happens when nobody on a Southwest flight pays their 'no sparks fee'.

  5. So wait…You cant "IMMEDIATELY" land a plane if theres a safety issue because it creates another safety issue? Try to calmly explain that one to your passengers watching sparks shoot from the engines.

  6. 😄 🤣 😂 who tf is screaming ugh

  7. The pilot was calm,they told him about a spark,he wasn't tensed.he still had to follow due emergency procedure.i guess he definitely have told the passengers to be calm

  8. Imagine all that fuel lost and wasted. No wonder ticket prices are going up smh

  9. and United is my preferred airline company 🥺

  10. I refuse to fly anymore. Boeing is trash, and all American based airlines are trash.

  11. Aviation photographer? Wait..am I one? I took a picture of an airplane before…or does it have to be 2 planes? Maybe one day…

  12. Planes should have a dump fuel option lol
    You could avoid 90 mins of prayers.

  13. Engine flameouts are more common than full mechanical failures, I wouldn't want to be on a plane with either but a plane can safely fly with one engine. Trust in that several million dollar aircraft people.

  14. Boeing seven seventy seven 😂

  15. That’s definitely settling knowing I’ll be flying the same airline into Newark in a couple weeks 💀

  16. My guy knew the danger ⚠️

  17. 1:05 "the boeing seven seventy-seven" me: cracking up XD

  18. Imagine being in there circling for 90 minutes. That’s insanity and scary
