Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Big Jet TV: livestreaming of planes landing during Storm Eunice goes viral | UK weather | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM YouTube channel’s footage of planes struggling to land in strong winds at Heathrow draws 200k viewers Quote It is not suitable viewing for people with a fear of flying but a YouTube outlet that livestreams aircraft has become one of the unexpected hits of Storm Eunice. Big Jet TV has built up a steady audience over the last six years by livestreaming aircraft movements but its biggest audiences come during storms, when its cameras are set up on the perimeter of airports and broadcast for hours. On Friday, the channel hit a record 200,000 concurrent live viewers for its stream of planes struggling to land in strong winds at Heathrow airport – more than usually watch many British rolling news television channels. Most of the UK games industry is watching planes land in a storm today | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM "Look at that rudder action! Whoah!" Quote Big Jet TV does exactly what the name suggests: A channel run by aviation enthusiast Jerry Dyer who loves a bit of big jet action. It might be the best channel name in history. And today has turned out to be Big Jet TV's day. The UK is currently experiencing Storm Eunice, one of the worst to hit the nation in decades: Trains have stopped running in parts of the country, schools are closed, and everyone's enjoying a nice cup of tea indoors. Everyone, that is, apart from Big Jet TV—who have got right down to Heathrow and are livestreaming the brave pilots landing in these conditions. Yes there could have been something rather dark about all this: When I first saw folk passing this around I wondered whether it was entirely appropriate. In reality it's much more endearing than you'd expect, because Dyer on commentary is clearly obsessed with planes and genuinely marvelling at the skill of these pilots. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
