🕑 Added 2022-05-16 20:29:06 +0000 UTCOn November 12th, 1995, an American Airlines MD-83 carrying 78 passengers and crew is making its final approach to Bradley International airport in Connecticut. It’s running late, and the crew are eager to make it to the airport. The area is blanketed by torrential rain and turbulence, and the two pilots are struggling to keep the aircraft on course. The winds are so strong that the control tower had to be evacuated, and is now occupied by a lone supervisor who hasn’t manned a tower in years.
Fighting severe turbulence, the pilots struggle to see the runway through the rain. A small mistake they made minutes beforehand would now come back to haunt them, as they start to slip below their minimum descent altitude…

yes I think you explained it well. Good vid!
Thank you JL! Delighted that you enjoyed the cinematic shots and all the stuff about atmospheric pressure, I was hoping that I explained it well!!
Excellent cinematic effects on the ground at the gate and during the flight! I like your attention to detail and to explaining the flight parameters.
