00:00Every passing second, an average of 10,500 Martian planes fly in the air.
00:08If you look at the live plane tracker, then almost the entire world map is filled with planes like flies.
00:18But there are some areas in the world map where we do not see a single plane.
00:27It seems that planes are deliberately avoiding these areas.
00:35And this is the reality.
00:38Viewers, let's know which areas in the world do not take planes in any way.
00:49And what is the biggest reason for doing this?
00:521. Tibet Plateau
00:56There may be such a large land area in the world that pilots avoid.
01:02The Tibet Plateau is spread over 2.5 million square kilometers, which is shared by a total of nine countries.
01:12Geographically, it is a very important route for planes, which can connect China directly to Europe and the Middle East.
01:27But as we can see in the live plane tracker, the planes are bypassing this entire area.
01:38The biggest reason for this is the highest mountain ranges found in the plateau, which start from China and end in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and Pakistan.
01:54The average height of the mountains here is 14,000 feet, and commercial planes normally fly at an altitude of 35,000 feet.
02:06Although the planes stay quite high from these mountains, but in the event of an emergency, such as a leak of pressure from the cabin or a failure of the engine, the oxygen mass automatically drops.
02:29And now the pilot has only 20 minutes.
02:34Yes, the pilot has to bring the plane from 35,000 feet to 10,000 feet within 20 minutes.
02:45Because the average height of the Tibet Plateau is 14,000 feet, it becomes impossible for the pilot to do this here.
02:59Only the high mountains are not the reason to avoid the Tibet Plateau.
03:05In fact, the planes have to face a very unique turbulence here.
03:13The air from the highest mountains here collides and goes up, which can disturb the plane's balance.
03:28January 2022, an underwater volcano erupted near Ronga Island in the South Pacific Ocean.
03:38Its smoke and ash cloud were so big that it broke all the records of history.
03:46This event was also recorded by satellite.
03:51These clouds of ash were recorded at 1,90,000 feet in the sky.
03:58Such high-altitude ash clouds can easily damage any plane.
04:08The ash cloud from the volcanoes can break the plane's windscreen and damage the engine.
04:20On June 24, 1982, a plane from London to New Zealand passed through a volcanic cloud.
04:32This was the time when there was no ban on smoking on the plane.
04:39When the smoke began to accumulate on the plane, everyone thought that someone was smoking.
04:45But whatever happened next, it made everyone stand up.
04:51The crew and the pilot began to smell sulfur in the smoke.
04:56That's when they realized that something must have gone wrong.
05:01Volcanic ash went into the engine and melted, which shut down all the engines on the plane.
05:09Now the plane began to lose its altitude.
05:13Fortunately, when the plane reached 12,000 feet from 37,000 feet, three of the four engines started.
05:24And the plane was safely landed.
05:29But after this incident, the pilots stopped flying over the volcanoes.
