Mostly, they use the machine to simulate what might happen under certain scenarios. This week, he asked Casado off-air to show what might happen to a 777 if it ran out of fuel. It proved horrific: lights flashed, alarms sounded, the nose pointed skyward while gravity pulled the plane down. It fell backward toward the ocean.
"Even though it's simulated, it's quite awful to see ... we made a pact that we would never, ever show something on the air like that," Savidge said.
