WEBVTT - How Air Force One Works

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to brain Stuff from house stuff works dot com

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>where smart happens. Hi, I'm Marshall Brain. Air Force one

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.799
<v Speaker 1>is gigantic, over two hundred feet long, with three levels inside.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>As you walk through the main door, you're standing in

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a small foyer area on the middle deck. To your left,

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>toward the nose of the plane is the presidential suite.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>There is a spacious office for the president, a surprising

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>medical room, a private bathroom, and a bedroom. The medical

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>room can handle nearly any emergency and includes a complete pharmacy,

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>X ray equipment, emergency equipment, and even an operating table.

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>To your right, the plane looks like an office suite.

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>You walk down a hallway past the galley on your left.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>It conserve a hundred people at a time. Just past

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>the galley is a large conference room that can comfortably

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>accommodate twenty people. Past the French room is a workroom,

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and beyond that is the rear seating area. It has

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>rows of seats like you would find in the first

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>class cabin of a commercial jet. The upper deck is

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>smaller and contains the airplane's cockpit, a second galley and

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>lounge area, and a communication room filled with equipment and computers.

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.559
<v Speaker 1>This room makes it possible for the President to talk

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to anyone in the world and to communicate securely with

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon. For more on this and thousands of other topics,
