Provided y’all aren’t already sucked out of the plane through that massive hole

"In the likely event the engine flies past you, keep your seat belt securely fastened and assume the brace position..."

Or the tail engine explodes.

“Please assume the *WERE FUCKED* position”

Arnelle Meyer I'm glad I could help!

+thedman1992 . Indeed!! Thanks so much!

Arnelle Meyer I really wanna be an FA when i'm older I would like to hear more of the story.

cool! Which airline and what flight was it?

Haha lol, maybe she thought that eye needs oxygen too.

In order to breath the oxygen you must visually confirm that oxygen is present in the mask

@@loganenglish3537 yes

THIS MADE ME LAUGH MY FuCKING ASS OFF 😂😂😂 It is true though. You’re in deep trouble if a door opens mid flight cause y’all are gonna get sucked out.

you had nothing to do with it of course

Stephen Britton well, this was the 80-90’s so...

A bobby pin or unfolded paperclip will also work.

Many planes these days have manual opening tools in the storage compartments at jump seats. These are usually a pin, or needle type object.

You could when this video was made

Part of the emergency equipment on aircraft is an 'oxygen manual release tool.' These are usually located in the equipment stowage under each crew jumpseat. It is a blunt metal rod which is rotated from a protective cover. When pushed into the hole of an unopened (failed) panel, it will open and the masks will drop as normal. In a rapid decompression however, you have on average only 20 seconds until you fall unconscious - this may seem like a short amount of time, but the lungs will have instantly deflated when cabin pressure is lost - try holding your breath after fully emptying your lungs to see what I mean. As a manual release tool will not be available in that short time, failed drop down doors can be prized open with fingers, or simply hit or punched to break the lock mechanism. The 20 second scenario is why you are always told to "fit your own mask first before assisting others." If the 20 seconds elapses and you fall unconscious while fitting a childs mask for example, they will most probably panic and not think or be able to fit your mask for you.

The World Airways slide rafts had a survival kit under the side sponson with first aid supplies, cans of water, food, and a tiny waterproof bible. (It may have just been Psalms. I don't recall exactly.)

You can't be serious bout that book😂​@@DJohansson

The cargo door to be exact.

I believe that the only current operators are cargo companies like FedEx and charter carriers, but no scheduled passenger service. ETOPS led to the demise of tri-engined jets.

The last scheduled passenger DC-10 flight took place in Feb 2014 with Biman of Bangladesh.

Now the UK’s chosen to set itself in a wholly reverse direction, expect DC-10s to once again be available on British scAirways routes from about 2027 or so… 🇬🇧✈️🙃

Let’s be honest: That’s probably normal on a DC-10… 🙃 (I’m dreading to think what they’d be like with Internet connections. Somebody pulls the EDR at L1 on a DC-19 and somewhere, on the other side of the World door, R3 *on a 747* mysteriously opens itself… 😳

Unfortunately I do not, thanks for your comment!

Seeing your username, I'm guessing we're both more accustomed to forms of transport where you *don't* have to watch a safety video before moving off? 🚄🇫🇷❤‍🔥😉

Mysteryfoxx RJ it’s moved to the override position because that tells the door to open faster than normal, as if th slide would inflate

The leaver is used in emergency because the door controll buttons won't be active due to being armed

Normal door operation is electric. Emergency power is pneumatic. You would override the deployment of the slide pack if you were already at ground level so people could just step off. In that attitude, an inflated slide would block the exit if you're almost on the ground.

Airplanes dont sink fast generally. Look at sully. Their aircraft wasnt even in the ditching mode.

priestpilot slides don’t detach from the plane, thy re for egress only.

@@rapman5363. Flight Attendant here. They do detach and can be used as liferafts. Just take a look at 15:30 in this exact video.

@@rapman5363 Er there are aircraft where the slides can be detatched and used as rafts, that's utterly falst as an absolute.

Cabin Service Director.

If memory correct, at Canadian Airlines it was Customer Service Director.

8/1/1997

Luke Fowlie There is a pneumatic override feature where you overextend the disarming lever up and jam up on the door open/close lever. The releases a pressurized canister that will open the door in the event of electrical failure.

Asking for a Saudi Arabian friend...

We’re talking about an aircraft built by McDonnel Douglas - Don’t expect the doors to work normally, if at all! ⚠️

@@meowmeow-cr5snlmao!

@@dieseldragon6756 🙄

PureAwkwardness Nothing. The emergency handle is locked in the down position when the door is disarmed.

@PureAwkwardness. Nothing would happen to the door, but you'd probably be escorted off the plane for tampering with emergency equipment. (It's a far more serious offence than most people think.) I'm sure you were only curious and wouldn't have actually tried it though. There are actually no passenger DC-10's still flying anyway sadly.

@@Appleboy78165 that would explain why you have to move the arm lever to „override” if you need to e-release the door without slide deployment. 😇👍🏽

Do it! I wanted to be a flight attendant since I was a kid. I've now been an doing it for 15 years and still love it. I noticed your comment was from 4 years ago. I can't help wondering if you did get an FA job in that time?

What d oyou mean?

@@DanknDerpyGamer well imagine if there’s not electrical power or back up power source, this seem to be only opened by electricity, so, no electrical source, no one leaves the plane

As far as I know, during emergency operations the door opens pneumatically. A little bit faster too. Only during normal operations they use electricity. @@gerardoarenasss

The plug-style doors must come inboard before traveling up. The barrier strap is to keep someone from becoming trapped and crushed between the door travelling inboard and the jump seat. (Former DC-10 F/A)

@@DJohansson I'm going to guess McDonnel Douglas were trying to be _ground breaking_ with that door design (And on the DC-10 they certainly broke _something_ door related! ⚰) but is it just me who thinks those must be excessively weighty, cumbersome, and (Pointing to what you say about the attendant strap) downright dangerous - All of which are things you definitely *don't* want on an aircraft¹?... 🤔 I mean: How the heck did something like that ever get past the FAA in the first place? ⚖ (¹ - Unless your company happens to be named _British scAirways_ ... 🔽 🇬🇧 😉)

Ik lol

Stahp! Stahp and don’t falling mive

Jeevan Sagoo cabin service director

Jabeo That's the physician's kit (essentially a first aid kit).

+John Daniels For use by certified doctors or med students, right?

Maulin Agrawal No, it's the North American term for a first aid kit, so it's for anyone to use.

+John Daniels ohhhh

That's the physician's kit used for mid-flight physio therapy

Yes absolutely. If the flightdeck door becomed jammed after a crash landing, or the electronic locks on the flightdeck door fail due to severe crash damage, this is the only option. Fire on the cabin side of the door or deep water coming for you. You'd do it.

Sinner!

You do realize those are used for restraining hijackers, right?

Shut up and don't be a shithead.

lol somebody is kinky 😂

All of this info would be listed on the safety instruction card. Do bear in mind that the DC-10 was first operated almost 50 years ago, and an interesting fact is that because smoking was permitted in those days, the sticky nicotine/tar residue would cause those overhead doors to get stuck closed. Of course, safety has improved immensely since then, and DC-10's no longer fly passengers, only cargo. Example image of a manual release tool: qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3f83c5f2e1431d496ce053afa9f72e1a

@@theboardshorts I think I've seen cabin crew use something _like_ that in the past. On Ryanair, it seems that _oxygen manual release tool_ corresponds to an unfolded coathanger. But if it works... 🧰🇬🇧🙃 Last few times I flew (A340s I _think_ ) all of the overhead mask panels had what looked like slide latches on them. I'm going to guess this is so pax can solve a non-opening panel by themselves without crew assistance? 😇

Calum Thomson Neither the DC-10 nor the MD-11 is still in production.

MD 11 cargo is though

Calum Thomson It's in operation but not in production.

Boeing still make the Boeing McDonnell Douglas MD 11

Calum Thomson No, they don't. Production was ceased in 2000.

You mean outside....and it was an issue which Douglas fixed

Generally speaking: Because aircraft (ordinarily) have greater pressure _inside_ the cabin than outside (You're basically sitting inside an oversized Coke can) you _want_ the doors to open inwards! If they open outwards and don't use something like Boeings _Exploit conical shape of fuselage to make an inward-opening door that can then swing out_ then as soon as the pressure exceeds a certain differential, bang goes your door...Literally! 🚪💨💥 But then again, we *are* talking about the DC-10. An aircraft with many oversights in its design, probably including no differential sensing or motor override to prevent any of those „Garage“ doors being opened whilst the cabin is still under pressure... 💨🎈🌬😲

Have you ever operated on an aircraft with upward sliding doors such as this? (DC-10, 767, MD-11, Tri-Star, possibly others.) Don't worry, when a door is opened when armed, a gas powered cylinder rapidly opens the door in approx 3-4 seconds. The electrically operated doors would also use this function in an evacuation as they are also fitted with an emergency power assist function. See 10:00 in this exact video.

@@theboardshorts You've got to be kidding me...That _same_ design of door is also fitted to the 767?!? I thought Boeing were a lot more sensible than that? 😳 For a class of vehicle where the doors aren't passenger operated having a door that rises vertically can't have any purpose beyond increasing risk to staff/pax (How many people have been crushed by the doors on DC-10s?) and in the face of things seems entirely pointless. Unless they ever invent _Trainlike_ or _Crew-free_ aircraft (Perish the thought!) where door opening is done by pax pressing a button, these make no sense at all. What benefits does a vertical door offer that a manual swing-in-out door cannot? 😇

​@@dieseldragon6756The early 737s and 737-200s also had the upward/downward sliding doors at 1L & R as well as 2L &R the overwing exits were regular pull and toss mini doors. These 737s were also fitted with their own air-stairs. Boeing has since added bars that we lock when the doors are open for catering and air for instances when the crew is aboard and the aircraft is not parked at a gate with a jet bridge extended from the airport building.

​@personofinterestchocolatem9158 No 737s had upward/inward sliding passeger/galley service doors. They all opened outward. The 737-200 combi rear passenger door was hinged at the bottom and opened downward since the folding airstair was attached to the door. Pretty sure the 767 is the only Boeing type with the inward/upward doors. The Lockheed L-188 Electra also had upward/inward sliding doors.
