I'm glad I could add such value to the discussion that I alone am having with myself. 🙂
And now that I've watched it, it was difficult to do.
The fact that they kept "exploding" the plane, and then plane parts, to get a better view of things wasn't necessary, and startled me every time. They needed not to do that.
Also, the narrator's voice/tone seemed to imply that it's a miracle we don't have planes crashing into our backyards every day since planes are metal tubes hurtling through the sky at 600 mph, and landing is so dangerous. So I felt myself getting stressed out over something I know is completely safe.
So I didn't love this one. I enjoyed the LH 380 video much more. Though it was cool that some of your plane was filmed at LAX.
I hope nobody else posts comments here. I've enjoyed monopolizing them on this thread, and I feel that the comments section is *mine* now. 🙂 🙂
@ TravelinWilly -- Hah, totally agree, didn't love the show, but for selfish reasons couldn't help but share it. 😀
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this was rather sensationalized. It's not really clear what's different/special on A380 compared to other planes.
Making a fuss about making up a 30-minute delay seems weird too.
Also, any idea why it'd be Air France itself testing the engines and not Airbus/contractor?
