00:00Think airplanes shouldn't even be able to fly?
00:03The air inside a plane is drier than the Sahara Desert.
00:07That's why food tastes so bland at 35,000 feet.
00:11Your taste buds literally shut down.
00:14That little hole in your window is keeping you alive.
00:17It balances the pressure so the entire window doesn't explode mid-flight.
00:22When they dim the cabin lights for landing, it's not for ambiance.
00:26It's so your eyes adjust to darkness in case you need to survive a crash.
00:32Airplane wings can bend over 20 feet.
00:35If they were rigid, they would snap right off.
00:38And here's the one that freaks everyone out.
00:41Pilots have a secret bedroom.
00:44Hidden stairs lead to a small room with beds right above your head where they sleep on long flights.
00:50So next time you fly, remember, you're in a bendy, lightning-proof metal tube
00:56breathing desert air with someone sleeping above you.
