No, you should see some of the tests we have to put airplanes through. I think its called the Mach buffet test is sooo dangerous the crew has to wear parachutes. They fly the plan near Mach 1 and it shakes violently from the shock waves. This test by gulfstream was not very dangerous.
No its considered simulated when the throttle is pulled all the way back. the fuel is not cut off to the engine but the throttle is retarded all the way back (so engine is still running and producing thrust)
I am sorry for my comment, didn't think I would stir things up like that. This is an aviation website with pilots and was just trying to bring light to the situation. I'm pretty sure the family members would not see this. No disrespect to the pilots or families.
