That is not a 747. 

Really?

sure looks like one to me...unless homie is trying to get all technical and say something like "that's a 747-400B-(1)65" or "when its a cargo plane it changes designation to C-blah blah"

[ACUDANUT]

I know my planes, and it's not even close to being a 747.

Really? Then thousands of aviation experts are obviously wrong.

Maybe he classifies his planes by flight crews.  Cargo planes probably won't have flight attendants.

Looks like a 747 to me..........God rest those poor souls.

After further review, I retract my previous statements.  You win, I lose.

i don't know anything about making videos but this guy swears its a hoax, and i was wondering why the hmvee (assuming its a military vehicle) just sat there, and noone started yelling or anything, you can hear the motor so you should be able to hear someone on a radio going oh $hit

LOL.  

Maybe it was one of those hologram planes like the ones that struck the World Trade Center towers.  



The quiet reaction from the driver in the video doesn't mean anything IMHO.  Bystanders don't always act the "correct" way to a surprising or dangerous scene.  Human behavior does not always follow such a tight predictable script.  


I dunno where that guy on Youtube got the idea into his head that the video was fake in the first place.  Seriously, what on earth does the govt (or anyone else) even stand to gain from fabricating that?  It's not like somebody is getting elected or starting a war over it.
