by saying that if you're afraid of flying,

提前面對，如果你害怕坐飛機，

this video may not be for you.

這個視頻可能不適合你。

Even though it has a lot of useful tips,

即使它有很多有用的提示，

like, if you crash, you can indeed survive.

比如，如果墜機，你其實可以生存下來。

You, may have to eat some of the others, but you can.

你，可能不得不吃一些其他人，但是你可以。

Pass me, hunk of co-pilot.

給我一塊副駕駛。

Flying is incredibly common, in fact, there are anywhere,

坐飛機是相當普遍的，事實上，任何地方

from 35 to 40 million flights scheduled every year.

每年都有3500至4000萬的航班計劃。

But for something people do so commonly,

但對於人們做得這麼普遍的事情，

why are there still so many myths about it?

為什麼還有這麼多關於它的错误观念呢？

Well, in this video I'm going to take

呃，在這個視頻，我將拿出

seven of the most commonly-believed myths,

7個最普遍被相信的

that you likely still believe about airplanes,

你可能仍然相信的關於飛機的錯誤觀念，

and explain the truth behind them.

並解釋它們背後的事實。

Speaking as someone who flies

作為一個月

at least a couple times a month,

至少飛幾次的人，

I can tell you that there's a number of misconceptions

我可以告訴你，有一些關於飛機的

about planes that simply have to change.

錯誤觀念，真的要改變了。

So I'm taking it upon myself

因此，今天我拿我自己來

to reveal those truths to you today.

向你揭露那些事實。

This is 7 Myths You Still Believe About Airplanes.

這就是《你仍然相信的關於飛機的7個事實》

Surviving a plane crash rarely happens.

在飛機墜機事故中生存下來很少發生。

Despite all of the safety protocols and double-checks

除了飛機和飛行員在他們起飛前要經歷的

planes and pilots go through before they takeoff,

所有安全協議和雙重檢查，

and the numbers that say it's insanely rare,

以及據說極為少見的數量，

planes do crash on occasion.

飛機的確偶爾會墜毀。

And when they do, they obviously bring people with them.

當它們墜毀時，顯然它們帶著人們一起。

Now, despite all the survivors on Lost,

那麼，除了 所有幸存者

people truly believe if the plane's going down,

人們真的認為，如果飛機墜毀，

that's it for them, pretty much guaranteed.

對於他們來說就是結束了，相當肯定。

Well I am happy to burst this bubble for you,

呃，我很高興為弄爆這個泡泡，

because odds are, it actually isn't.

因為事實是，其實不是那樣的。

According to the National Transportation Safety Board,

根據國家交通安全委員會的統計，

over 95% of people involved in airline accidents,

在1983年至2000期間，

between the years of 1983 and 2000, survived.

遭遇飛機事故的超過95％的人生存了下來，

That's good news for frequent flyers,

對於頻繁坐飛機的人來說，這是好消息，

and even better news for black smoke monsters

並且對於黑煙魔鬼

and time-travelling islands.

和時間旅行的島嶼是更好的消息。

Toilets on planes are dangerous.

飛機上的廁所是危險的。

Don't flush while sitting down,

在坐下時，不要沖水，

have you ever heard that one on a plane before?

你以前聽說過飛機上的那一個嗎？

Well if you haven't, trust me, it's quite a common saying,

呃，如果你沒有，相信我，這是一個相當普遍的說法，

as it's believed that a person who does will get stuck,

如人們認為這樣做的 一個人將被卡住，

the pressure and suction somehow pulling on your bottom end.

壓力和吸力拉著你的下面

Well the truth is, if you can manage

呃，事實是，如果你能夠

to form a perfect seal on the vacuum toilet,

在空廁所上坐得很好，

then you will feel that pressure,

那麼你就會感覺到那種壓力，

however, as many a toilet-sitter will tell you,

但是，就像很多廁所清潔人員會告訴你的，

it's almost no trouble at all standing up

吸力發生時站起來

while the suction is occurring.

幾乎一點問題都沒有。

There's even some people who have claimed

甚至有一些人聲稱

that human waste that's flushed down those toilets

沖下那些廁所的人類廢物

is dumped freely mid-flight,

在半途被自由傾倒，

which I promise you is another preposterous myth.

我向你保證，這一點是另一個荒謬的錯誤觀念。

Rain and poop everywhere.

雨和糞便到處都是。

According to the FAA it's impossible for a pilot

根據FAA的說法，飛行員

to dump a waste tank in the air.

是不可能在空中傾倒廢物罐的。

Thank God, because it'd be raining poop, hallelujah.

感謝上帝，因為它會是下糞雨，哈利路亞。

The recirculated air in planes is full of germs and disease.

飛機上再循環的空氣滿是病菌和疾病。

Isn't that just the worst,

那不是更糟糕嗎？

someone sitting beside you and they're like (gasp).

有人坐在你旁邊，他們說（喘氣）

With all of those people packed into one plane,

所有那樣的人都塞進一架飛機裡，

the air circulation system must be spreading

空氣循環系統一定

germs and disease all over the cabin, right?

在整個機艙散播病菌和疾病，對吧？

Well, at least that's what people

呃，至少那是

who seem to get sick on flights

似乎在飛機上得病的人

have claimed during complaints.

都在投訴階段這樣說。

However, the truth is that the system

但是，事實是該系統

does a pretty good job at circulating the air.

在循環空氣方面非常出色。

The way that it works

它運作的方式

is it takes air into the lower fuselage,

就是它把空氣吸入下面的機身，

where half of it is expelled from the plane,

在那裡一半空氣從飛機排出，

and the rest is put through filters

其餘空氣進入過濾器進行過濾

and mixed with fresh air collected through the engines.

並與從引擎收集來的新鮮空氣混合。

So the air coming through the system

因此通過該系統的空氣

is more than likely clean.

是再清潔不過了。

But while that air might be filtered,

但是在空氣可能被過濾時，

germs can still be left on trays, armrests, seat belts

病菌仍然可能留在盤子，扶手，安全帶上

and of course accessories in the seat pockets,

以及座位口袋的附加物品上，

not to mention of course

當然，更不要提

the old-fashioned way of person to person.

老方式的人對人。

That is the most likely way that you'll get sick on a plane,

那是最可能讓你在飛機上得病的方式，

not from Grandma Jones sitting beside you

不是來自坐在你旁邊的奶奶瓊斯

being like (coughs, splutters),

就像（咳嗽，唾液飛濺），

that's the worst.

那是最糟糕的。

Oxygen masks do nothing except calm passengers.

氧氣罩除了讓乘客平靜下來，什麼用都沒有。

In the event of an emergency during a flight,

在飛行期間緊急的情況下，

oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling.

氧氣罩會從天花板掉下來。

We've all heard that a ton of times,

我們都已經聽說了很多次，

but according to many people,

但是根據很多人的說法，

the air coming through those masks,

通過那些面罩來的空氣

actually does nothing but make flyers think

其實一點用都沒有，只是使得乘客覺得

that they're going to be OK.

他們會沒事的。

This claim may or may not have started with him,

這種說法可能或不可能從他開始，

but it was definitely made popular by Tyler Durden,

但是泰勒·德登，布拉德·皮特在電影

Brad Pitt's character in the movie Fight Club.

《搏擊俱樂部》裡的角色使之流行起來。

But according to the FAA and various pilots

但根據FAA和各飛行員

and plane designers, it's a complete myth.

和飛機設計人員的說法，這完全是一種錯誤的觀念。

The air coming through those masks is actually oxygen-rich,

通過那些面罩的空氣其實有豐富的氧氣，

and is there so that we can breathe

這樣我們就在

at altitudes above 10,000 feet.

海拔1萬英尺以上的地方進行呼吸。

The higher the altitude, the less oxygen in the air,

海拔越高，空氣中的氧氣越少，

so yes, those masks actually do serve a purpose.

因此，是的，那些面罩其實是達到其目的地。

Co-pilots are just apprentices.

副駕駛飛行員只是學徒。

This next myth is a real annoyance to co-pilots,

接下來這個錯誤觀念，對於副駕駛來說，真的很惱火，

as a large number of people believe

因為大量的人認為

that they're just apprentices.

他們都只是學徒。

As in they're simply learning

因為他們只是在向飛機的機長學習

how to be a real pilot from the plane's captain.

如何成為真正的飛行員。

The fact is, there are always at least two pilots

事實是，在任何商務航班的駕駛艙

in the cockpit of any commercial flight,

都至少會有兩個飛行員，

and both are fully capable of operating the aircraft.

兩個人都完全能駕駛飛機。

The co-pilot, or first officer,

該副駕駛飛行員，或者第一官員

is actually just as involved in flying the plane

其實都和機長一樣

as the captain is, and in fact often is more so.

參與駕駛飛機，並且實際上往往駕駛得更多。

This is because the captain tends to be the primary person

這是因為機長往往是

to operate the radio, run checklists

操作無線電，運行檢查清單

and communicate with the cabin crew and travellers.

並與機艙機組人員和乘客溝通的主要的人員。

So to any flyers out there thinking that

因此對於認為副駕駛飛行員

the co-pilots aren't qualified to fly the plane,

沒有資格開飛機的飛機乘客，

chances are, they are flying the plane.

可能是，他們正在開飛機。

Opening an emergency door in flight is a big concern.

在航行中打開緊急艙門是一個大問題。

Strangely, and sadly, it's not uncommon

奇怪地，並令人遺憾的是，

to hear about people freaking out mid-flight

經常聽說有人在航行中要出去

and trying to wrench doors open of the plane.

並試圖打開飛機的艙門。

It's so common in fact,

實際上，這非常普遍，

that people see it as a huge concern, often flying in fear

人們把它視為大問題，經常在恐懼中飛行

that that's how they're going to be taken out.

那是他們將要被攆走的原因。

But it turns out, opening the emergency door while in flight

但結果是，在航行中打開緊急艙門

isn't as easy as you would think, not even close.

不是像你想象得那麼簡單的，甚至關閉也不簡單。

With the cabin pressurized the way that it is,

由於機艙被加壓，

it would take a large hydraulic jack,

要確確實實打開其中一個門

or the strength of Superman,

要用大液壓千斤頂

to literally open one of those doors.

或者超人的力量。

And that should be no surprise

考慮到它不僅是壓力本身，

considering that it's not only the pressure itself,

還有一系列的在起飛前

but a series of electronic locks

激發的電子鎖，

that activate before takeoff.

那應該一點都不驚奇。

So if anyone ever stands up and goes like,

因此有人站起來，說：

"Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out",

“讓我出去，讓我出去，讓我出去”，

they're just crazy, and they can't do anything about it.

他們只是瘋了，他們根本無法做到。

A tiny hole in the plane

在飛機上一個小洞

can lead to everyone being sucked out.

會導致每個人都被吸出去。

Speaking of being sucked out of a plane,

說到被吸到飛機外面，

many of us have heard a story

我們很多人都聽說

of a tiny hole in a plane's window suddenly sucking someone,

飛機窗戶上的一個小洞突然把

or everyone on board, out of the aircraft.

飛機上的某個人或每個人吸到飛機外面。

But, is there any truth to that?

但是，那有沒有事實根據？

Well, planes are pressurized, as we discussed,

呃，飛機是被加壓的，像我們所討論的，

but it would take an explosion,

但機身爆炸

or a serious structural damage to the fuselage,

或者對機身造成嚴重的結構損壞，

to result in people being ripped from the craft.

才能導致把人從飛機扔出去的後果。

In 2006 an Alaska Airlines MD-80 plane sustained damage

2006年，一架阿拉斯加航空公司MD-80飛機

in the form of a foot-long hole in its fuselage.

因其機身有一個一腳長的洞而遭受損壞。

But, instead of everyone being jettisoned from the plane,

但是，與把每個人從飛機扔掉相反，

the aircraft stayed in one piece,

飛機將保留為一個整體，

and made an emergency descent.

並進行緊急下降。

A sudden change in cabin pressure is never good, but,

機艙壓力的突然改變絕對是不好的，但是，

chances are you'd be just fine.

可能你會沒事的。

So hopefully now, next time you fly,

因此希望下次你坐飛機的時候，

you'll be a little calmer.

你會更鎮靜一點。
