Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia'Bob Crane' - actor from Hogan's Heroes - was originally cast in this movie, but was murdered before filming commenced.
- GoofsWhen the Flight Attendants arrive into New York on another aircraft the plane they disembark from has a pointed red livery - that of another L1011 operator at the time; TWA. Eastern had a two tone blue livery. Also as they are running late to catch 401 most of the Cabin Crew leave the incoming aircraft with the passengers leaving only two Flight Attendants on board - something that would have not been permitted as there would be no Flight Attendants guarding the remaining emergency exits during disembarkation (in case they need to evacuate the passengers)
- Quotes
Carl Tobias: On any given day, Eastern Airlines launched 1400 flights, it had flown for 7 years without a passenger fatality.

Featured review
Chilling
As part of employment training is training with Alaska Airlines in-and-in 2000 or 2001 con than one, they had as watched this film partly due to the fact that they had just lost an aircraft and wanted us to be empathetic with the family members of those affected. The unfortunate result: due to the chilling reality of the scenes, I was unable to view the entire film, costing me the position.
While I was active-duty Air Force stationed overseas in 1983 or '84, there was a crash at a nearby facility that I was tasked with on site support, which, unfortunately, caused PTSD. Viewing this film triggered an episode, albeit quiet, but an episode with it's chilling memories. Even now, 37 or 38 years later, it is difficult to write this.
The characters and jobs they did were well done, as was the cinematography of the scene. So very realistic.
