Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fox two News Update.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You know, one of the stories actually that was breaking
when we were on the air in the morning was
this awful Air India crash. You know, I didn't want
to weigh in too much on this yesterday because when
I watched it, Remember, I came in and I said,
I'm telling you right now, this is the flaps issue.
And and then everybody on the internet goes wild because
they're like, here comes every you know, what is it?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Armchair quarterbacks saying what went wrong?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
But because it was shortly after take off? Right, but yeah,
but but and the and they have the whole thing
on tape. But I but I watched so many pilots
comments saying I don't think flaps are down. I'm sorry,
say they thought the flaps were in position flaps when
you take off. I think I know nothing about flying,
but I over investigate things because I don't like to fly.

(00:45):
I think when you take off and correct me if
you're a pilot, And I think flaps have to be
at five the wings, okay, and those they extend out
to make the wing go from like this to this,
like you know, so it has dressed. So yeah, you
have lyft, right and that's all I know, Okay, And
it looked like everybody that looked at the video said,

(01:07):
it doesn't look like the flap. Looks like the flaps
are at like two, like which are one, which is
how they are when you're flying, not when you're landing
or taking off.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Right, Well, it wasn't the landing gear. The landing gear
was still down.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, but now they're saying, you know, some of these
reports I'm reading was I think the last like mayday
call or whatever was like, we're losing power.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
And if you're losing power, that's a big problem. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
It was within seconds of takeoff. I know, it's like,
how can all of that, how can your plane be
fine on the runway and then in two seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Be like not this is this is the Boeing seven
eighty seven Dreamliner or two hundred and forty two passengers
and crew board. At first, officials believe there were no survivors,
and then later out of nowhere, this forty year old
guy is found alive in the wreckage.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Okay, that is not when I was reading the story
as it was happening. I was talking to Chelsea about it,
and they at that time couldn't even speculate, so they
were just saying, I just assumed a crash like that
everyone would die. But the news story I was reading
made it sound like some people died, but maybe not everybody,
almost everybody, almost two hundred and nineties. Almost this is

(02:13):
happening way too. They were on their way to London.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
And you know, the one question everybody wants to know
is what seat was that guy in? And I think
it was eleven an? Was it eleven a?

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Survivor that was it? Yeah? One guy.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Because I'm looking, I saw how many people were on
the plane and it was about that many.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
So he's the only guy that lived. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now the other story that's kind of shirting around with
this is an Air India plane, the same Air India plane,
I guess. Someone says there they were on the plane's
previous flight a few hours before and documented how nothing
seemed to be working. We're almost about the text seelect
this a season. So the guy saying, like, the air

(02:52):
conditioning's not working, my touch screen's not working, the lights
aren't working.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Are those things you checked before you leave? Because I'm
not remember when we were sitting on the runway and
I was a little bit behind you, and I could
hear them in the cockpit talking about how there's a problem.
Do you remember because I was texting you flight we
were I'm sure coming back from we were coming back
from Disney, remember, okay, But I just I was I

(03:18):
think you were sitting next It was the smelly guy
flight May there's been a I was texting you.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
It wasn't You're right, it wasn't.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, So but I was texting you guys because I
was like, are you listening to this? Because they were
having a conversation about how something wasn't right, And I
was like, well.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Then we're not going to leave. How about that we're
still on the ground. Let's let's call that. Now they
probably know a little better than you.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well you know, I'm starting to wonder, Chelsea, if they do,
because weekly now we've got plane crashes.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well we don't have that, did we just we don't
have plane crashes weekly?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, So I exaggerated that.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
For sure.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
It does feel like a lot, but it's a new
it's still kind of early in a new year, and
there's been.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Like twel there's been more than more than we yeah,
more than we've talked about it, and you're not even
getting to.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
The next one where a plane rolls off the runway.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
A Jet Blue flights from Chicago veered off the runway
after landing in Boston, ending up in the grass. No
injuries were reported, but the runway was closed and passengers
had to the plane using stairs and buses.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
The causes to lender investigation alsen. Are you being a fearmonger?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
No, I think that people are going to call in
and say that you are.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I'm not being a fearmonger. I'm gonna fly the next
time I have to fly, have to get on a
flight tomorrow. I get on a flight tomorrow. I'm just wondering,
if we're letting interns fly, did we reduce the rifts?
Do we reduce our workforce.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's really sad. I just I don't know, terrible.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
They got to investigate this in the air flight though,
because that's that's that that Boeing Dreamliner, and I think
it's a nice plane.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I mean, that's not like an old plane. I think
I heard that it was.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
It's been running for like twelve years or something like that,
and they've never had any problems with it.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
So like this one was shocking, all right, there you go,
there you go.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I don't like to have all this bad news, but
it's a big story today for sure,
