On May 5, 2024, a British Airways flight (BAW18B) from Bermuda to London was forced to abort takeoff due to a bomb threat. Emergency equipment arrived after stopping on the runway but could not approach the plane close enough due to safety protocols.

Passengers remained on board for 40 minutes, prompting the captain to threaten evacuation via slides. Eventually, air stairs arrived and passengers disembarked, having to walk back to the terminal without busses. The situation worsened as the airport itself received a bomb threat, leading to its evacuation.

IMPORTANT:
This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations.

To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.
