Post by: Jaybird180 on April 28, 2016, 01:14:40 PM: They are WAAAAY too calm for this to be an actual emergency. I'm thinking it was staged.

I was asking myself the same thing. It's less insightful without audio.

no audio is actually a blessing... considering that so many people can't resist the temptation to add really really really crappy muzak to the audio to any video.

I've noticed that! I was sitting with my iPad yesterday watching a flying video from the Bold Method aviation site and it sounded like cheesy porn music.
