Freefall: Flight 174 (1995) | Full Movie | William Devane | Nicholas Turturro | Mariette Hartley

foreign the following film is based on an actual event that occurred on July 23 1983. some names have been changed composite characters used and certain scenes were created for dramatic purposes [Music] thank you foreign [Music] that's the storm front they warned us about might as well use everything this Butte can give ask if we can take her up to 40 000 feet nothing like being able to get above it all Winnipeg Center this is Canada World 163 heavy we see it about 20 miles out if we can slip up to 40 000 feet we should be able to ride above it all thanks Winnipeg moving up [Music] it's weird how's the fuel indicator enough computer says we're loaded must be the pump cross feed the left pump to both engines [Music] just what the doctor ordered I'm sure the fuel's up according to the readout we're full [Music] left engines flamed out Winnipeg 163 we're having a problem right answer's gone to Winnipeg this one six three we have we have a general failure got a dead sticker give me range fuel talk to me one can you glider hydraulics we're going into free ball Free Fall going in [Music] simulation and wait please exit the simulator now is that some kind of joke there's no way you'd land that aircraft the way you guys have got it programmed dumb scenario if you ask me impossible set of conditions whoever dreamed that up it isn't a dream it happened [Music] just look at that some Duty it's brand new it's out of the box who's in the saddle Captain Pearson Bob Pearson coffee's ready as usual you're way ahead of me I'm just keeping ahead of Dave that's going to be busy listen if you want me to drive myself to the airport I can leave the Carney overnight no there's no need I can pick up the cleaning on the way back besides it'll help me pass the time what time it's a quick turnaround oh I know it's just that what's the matter it's not like you to be worried I'm not worried I'm gonna miss you that's all would you drink your coffee the sooner you get started the sooner you get back it still doesn't figure I know by this recording we got about 11 000 pounds of fuel pounds no no no no hold on maybe that's kilograms how much more I got several thousand gallons left gallons don't give me gallons okay you've got the pride of the fleet the first 67 in service and we are now metric speak to me in kilo sorry boss I don't really know that stuff yet I got my work cut out trying to convert gallons into pounds yeah like if we don't you just stand by okay if they at least convert the entire fleet instead of just these new plants well I really think you've got everything done well not quite Meg and I are gonna go shopping I want to pick up some fresh flowers and I I've got to get new sheets for the guest room new sheets I can think you're over doing it I want him to feel welcome they'll notice a little extra care after they've been quite knuckling it for five hours I'm not playing it with me in the cockpit you they'll trust it's the plane that'll keep them working listen why don't you drive Bob will you keep your wits about you I always do how many kilos in a pound uh 2.2 or so it says here okay how many quarts in a kilogram I don't know I told you check the onboard gauge it's got enough well then how does a pilot know how much fuel's been loaded computers state of the art computers I hate computers gotta be a technical place to run them yeah well then we both better check into a seminary come on let's try the cockpit okay listen uh Jim my wife's not doing so well right now isn't there some other guy you can yeah yeah I understand okay I'll be there you're going off again aren't you I'm really sorry the number two on the Montreal Edmonton flight broke his leg skiing they need me to take his place in the second seat but you just got back I know but it's the new 767 and I beg to be one of the first checked out on it no available it was cleared to fly it Veronica over here to help I'll be back before you know it [Music] are you picking him up at home now it's a quick turnaround they're going to meet me at the airport in Edmond you'll meet us on the way back I'll pick you up at the gate is everything okay yeah it's fine you're just worried about having a safe flight okay Drive the switch anyway uh great nothing gotta rely on the computer what's it say whatever we tell us and we'll read the fuel load we tell the volume and it does the figuring then it's no smarter than you better we figured the volume again [Applause] okay won't you sweetie you'll be just fine we'll both Missy but you'll be fine are you sure you knew the maternity believe would end sooner or later besides weird if you wanted to stop Flying it's just too good a job it was a seniority yes yes and you take good care of your daddy hey we're together Junior employees first gotta stop being mad at me Gloria you'd hate it hell I hate it it's my family reunion I don't have to do any do any all I want to do is go with you as if we belong together maybe I could even make it fun for you I doubt it all I'd start doing is probably what if we you what if you got to hide nothing you just don't want me to meet your family boy you know that's not true tell me do your parents even know I exist thank you how much uh 38. hey didn't you play minor league hockey I think the trade card you have to play the big teams what happened God [Music] tickets did you turn the thermostat down yeah did you get a flight truck what for hey Dave Mr Pearson taking 174. yeah did you just bring her in I did indeed a few gauges or dicey no kidding she's brand new what's the manual say nothing like you say the 67s just come into service not much pilot input yet anything on the minimum equipment list the mes has to check the load manually after that it's safe to fly using the onboard computers all right with those things aren't you well I'm getting there but I'd rather have a gauge that went into a tank can it be this doing all right oh you'll have Ricky Dion in the cabin with you I bet you he can get it right Ricky wow there to go hey Maurice you taking Bruce's second chair unless you get fueled up let's make sure the plane is remove D check the reminder file both Heber and Dunbar have birthdays this month send some trinket from Tiffany Forge my signature and remember I leave for Hong Kong on the 8th so at least see if there are any details that I have overlooked please do not hesitate to contact me it's very important that I have this idea 11 4 30. okay 1.0 means we got to multiply by 178. love that high-tech operation what do you know about metrics nothing I'm still trying to think how much a quart is easy six percent smaller than a leader Felicia I will be out of town for my anniversary I have Jorge send some flowers to the house Rose is preferably keep it under sixty dollars make a reservation at patina for the night after my return the departure on Canada World Airways flight 174 will be slightly delayed please stay at the gate as we expect to board momentarily built CWA no way to ruin my plans you'll find it well at least the weather looks good at least for now you know there was a time when the decision to take off was mine and mine alone manual for these big birds says that you have to check me out first so what's the deal well the way I read the figures we gave you twenty thousand three hundred forty five enough to get you all the way to Vancouver never mind Edmonton what about this in-op and we'd have to rely on the computer Rita what if the computer fails second one Cuts in that goes down there's third one for good measure if two of them go down I don't think I'll be relying on them third I understand Rick Dion's on board you must know this machine forecast look good bro yeah it should be a smooth play it's okay honey I only look worried besides what can go wrong when the airlines top mechanic is sitting in the seat right next to us hi Barry good to see you good to have you aboard let's hope so she hates to fly especially after a tech delay what's the problem don't know but Bob Pearson's in the number one seat if he's satisfied so am I once we're off you should go ask him yourself oh he will can't keep him away from the business end of an aircraft Emily you got your seatbelt on she's getting it on yes I do you're smiling Pearl the god it's an animation D down to your right hip doesn't fly good morning sir how are you today the 23c down to your right Hi how are you down to your left please [Music] thank you it should be a grand flight sure will be sir [Music] I don't know a few little readouts were handled by the Second Officer I guess it's your call well Davis and Coley had no trouble bringing her in foreign you're welcome I'd feel better if we still had a second officer we'd have someone to work the manuals the whole point of these birds cut back on the crew save the airline's money we're not saving them any money being Park in attendance clear to that glance let's get this bird in the sky thought he'd never make up his mind fussy bunch of pallets but it's like us thank you tell Bernie that I will buy a full page in his tribute book for uh muscular atrophy or dystrophy or whatever then call George and tell him to get in Bernie's face but upping his orders with us [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] ER I was on a Learjet last but we went nearly vertical on takeoff I'm a pilot myself perhaps the captain would give me a view of the flight deck once we're up I'm sure he'd be glad to the pilot is now turned off the fastened seat belt sign please feel free to move out the cabin however while seated please keep your seat belt fast and thank you okay how about a book what would you like me to read can I have another apple juice how about Babar huh do you want to go forward you don't mind it's not amazed you managed to stay put this long just remember to come back your son likes your company um any tense [Music] great day for it hummeries you okay you okay yeah mind a visitor hey Frank get your dead butt in here simple enough for me it was any easier they wouldn't need a pilot they'd make my job easier hey speaking of your job what is that you got an me out yeah it should be okay you just have to rely on your computer a little flyer for you it's more information there than you know what to do with anyway you got that right so how's your hockey player or have you given that up yet you know you should at your age [Music] [Music] that's not right you have a manual all right [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] according to the book the pump is probably fine and there is a safety backup either pump left or right can feed both engines Let's cross feed the left side to both engines [Music] you guys do without me I knew the answer all along I just wanted to see if you guys can figure it out it's very too exciting for my bladder I'll be right back thank you what's the matter with him his wife is very sick we have two young kids at home you know how it is I don't really think he wanted to go out on this flight frankly if I were him had applied for some sick leave we don't have enough guys checked out on these things as it is you know how important they are to the company and to me I need this job I gotta buy me some new skates new set of legs is what you need okay oh damn it I wanted to give him way to go back huh send away for something because you know it's going to make him happy and then you next trip I guess it stays up [Music] hey hi I got a weekend pilot in 3C says he'd like to visit a cockpit I think Pearson would mind I'm gonna wait till Rick gets back to his seat [Music] here for me I got in 30 up he's knocking him back faster than I can supply him well a lot of the brand have been drinking he finished him off at this point he won't notice as Mr Macho in 31d on his third vodka and tonic and in a deep soak oh how sad we'll take this one give you a chance to sit so are these planes so good it only takes one guy to fly Bob is more than enough fly by themselves I feel like I could have stayed home how is Marie pretty much the same not good sorry Maurice it's okay or it'll be what it'll be how's things in there Kevin busy it's less than half full but I prefer when it's so busy now you can't stop time goes by faster oh you wouldn't get to enjoy the flight then that's fine I hate flying anything I can get you here sir vodka time I know sir everything okay here can I get you anything thank you we're fine all right all right you okay you how's our littlest passenger I think he needs a change okay if I use an empty robe I don't see why now that one is a system do you mind if I help you have a little baby at home this is my first time away from her Thanks that'll be great it's your diaper bag yes thank you oh you're gonna feel better yes you are [Music] I Found You The Young Explorer is my husband's still in the cockpit or did he leave me I can't imagine either of them do bad you don't know him in airplanes um if you can would you remind him that he promised Chris a trip up front so where were you as you know CCD The Usual Suspects Senate registered return receipt requested oh excuse me I'm sorry uh any word on that trip up front we're working on it there's an airline official in there at the moment but as soon as he's out I'll ask and Alicia never mind those AirHeads and travel never to book me on a plane that doesn't have in-flight phones Lynn needs you cover the back I think Hulk wants another vodka again how many can he manage when you go back tell Rick his wife misses him the guy in 3C still wants a tour and I'd like a massage so what are you flying these days when I try to P51 at the fire and a mirror show it was fun Pearl and I are talking about moving to the West Coast if that happens I'll be looking for a seaplane the old pontoons lighted the old pontoon the hell is that second pumpkin can't be you better go off auto what's up first officer Quintel to the front please I'll hit the books [Music] yeah comparing fuel pump failure get the drill [Music] he'll get you [Music] my operational three stop check no help re-engage cross feed check no help you throw a digital Fuel and range what was that oh probably just hit a little air pocket nothing to worry about see you later what was that I'm sure it was nothing I don't know what that was but I am sure that everything is all right well would you please ask Rick to come back here as soon as he can yes thank you the Weekender wonders whether it's not Larry okay uh then Rick your wife wonders whether you're still on board yeah I guess I better see how she's doing and maybe you could hang in here until Maurice figures a load just in case we need a little help with our calculations yeah you got it tell her I'll be along soon thanks okay Larry take it easy right we wouldn't want to worry anyone of course not captain [Music] how's it look impossible whatever it is it has to be possible otherwise it wouldn't be happening [Music] what's your best guess [Music] try changing the attitude [Music] that's improve it both lights are off exactly it's like the idiot light on a car's gas tank you go downhill the fuel goes forward puts the light on you go uphill light turns back on again it's not a pump problem and what is it look at the Ops menu [Music] obviously it's not a pump problem is it if it isn't a part and it's the fuel or more specifically the lack of it both the lights are still out here you check it these are the ground crew figures yeah he took the flight out to Edmonton picking up his folks Ah that's where the Big Marketing in the big shopping show off my cooking a little remember the last time we ate in the dining room I guess he's been pretty busy at well this time of year past like shifts in the night goes to the territory I guess huh married for 25 years what we lack in adventure we make up foreign consistency okay get up yeah I suppose how about a cup of coffee you're a house of mine [Music] thank you someone screwed up the metric conversion I just can't tell where by how much but one thing's for sure there's not enough fuel in either tank to make Edmonton Maurice tried us a new course land spreads probably Winnipeg get there in a couple hundred gallons or liters or whatever we've got in there Winnipeg isn't huh [Music] look at that weather yeah they said they were expecting low clouds but you should be able to ride it out without burning too much fuel these things are designed to fly not crash through enough just need enough fuel to keep our forward motion now that you should have Winnipeg Center it's Canada world 174. see if you can get them to get in touch with my wife oh yeah I want her to know where I am because she needs me Winnipeg Center Canada world 174. at Canada World 174 Winnipeg go ahead loud and clear 174 I have you radar identified to 140 miles Northeast of Winnipeg you're clear to the Winnipeg airport for an approach plan Runway zero four left over two additional things get a crew list and notify the families of a delay due to Diversion put Maurice Quintel on the top of the list right we'll stay on the air is the problem getting worse yeah minor technical difficulty we're diverting to Winnipeg better let them know Larry right away you gotta be all right oh my God we're running on fumes Winnipeg Center this is 174. we've got a bigger problem than we thought [Music] roger174 [Music] foreign [Music] yeah it is so how about a book pictures be my guest pick a color any color okay I think I'm gonna go with this color folks we're truly sorry about this but the technical problem that the latest continues to have are the pilots they've decided to divert to Winnipeg we should land there in a few minutes where Arrangements will be made to get us to Edmonton the passengers with connecting flights should inform the cabin staff CWA regrets any inconvenience this unexpected diversion may cause [Music] come on I know you can do better than that well even if the load estimate is off by half you should be able to make it with a couple of gallons to spare you can drive us to the hotel Bob depends on what it takes to Buck this turbulence heavy headwinds here's how I figure it double check me go ahead Winnipeg Center this is 174. Roger 174 you're within Landing range now I'll be handing you off to your approach control and uh we'll be listening and hanging in with you the emergency procedures will be in place contact approach control now on 119.7 good afternoon Canada World 174 this is Winnipeg approach got you at about 22 000 feet and 130 miles 22 000 Max approach 130 miles we're working on our Glide path now we're on speed 335. Glide path got it okay listen thank you loaded 20 345 units all right but it was pounds not kilos are you serious 0.2 pounds per keep you're telling me we're less than half loaded have Larry report to the flight deck immediately get out there with us let's go and I would get your crew together run over the emergency landing procedures don't freak out the passengers do it behind the curtains cool [Music] [Music] um with the cabin Crew Please report it for galley there's accurate dental records hey what the hell's going on uh routine sir just routine for us to meet and long flights check the liquor don't give me that bull I'm a paying customer I pay you damn wages now what's going on if you could you keep your hey hey I think I didn't bring Gloria off at least you're on vacation I gotta go back to work on Monday what do you do go to the local high school well I guess I pay your wages then don't I [Music] don't be fine or not either way at least there's no kids well it's like we've always said kids in marriage aren't for everyone you know certainly not us mistakes so how's school it's fine keeps me occupied walks away kids are grown tell me I've been thinking about taking classes myself yeah yeah Leslie goes off to college and the fall can't believe it you're kidding no how you and Bob doing we're the same as ever fall into patterns you ever noticed that yep lots of years create lots of habits you find that you start taking things for granted anyway I don't know the small stuff little things that are left unsaid because you think you've got a lot of time later but there always is time later I mean they're they're just is yeah I guess well how am I doing not good news but not a disaster Winnipeg Center this is 174. we think we have a plan for a Glide path now there's nothing else goes wrong you'll be fine we're clearing04 left for you and we'll have a welcoming party when you're on the ground supervisor we're signing 174 to zero four left the emergency procedures in place that's affirmative foam in the first rank give a pass for the Medics and make sure all the ambulance is a loaded with burn units double check it hurry hurry [Music] well fairly Fair this front gets any thicker it's going to slow us significantly if that's our only problem we're in great shape the Bob only Lies when it comes to hockey right Bob I'm gonna go see Pearl and Chris good idea leave this to the pros if you feel anything go wrong you know where we are yeah same here you need me there's some kids back there make sure the parents know to put their masks on first I'm the airline official from the cockpit because if there's room now I thought I'd pop in we're in a landing mode right now it's probably not a good time I've never seen a computerized cockpit well landing's all done by numbers maybe when we take off for Edmonton just bring the Vancouver people to Edmonton save me half a day these idiot laser costume is a fortune and I don't want to hear about Bill's Junior socket there's nothing to worry about except we have to go to Winnipeg other than that we're fine let's swear it swearing it looked a bit tight there for a minute but we'll be fine but when I'm back and Bob Pearson's the right guy for the job [Music] we're fine bro and I'll be here all the way [Music] trust will be okay daddy is Mommy okay yeah mommy's fine so where were we Socrates stepped inside the flower shop it's vital that people near the emergency exits are strong enough to operate them I'm sorry sir the captain is put on the seat belt sign not to worry just using the lavatory I'm an xraf pilot if the luftwaffe couldn't get me I'm sure CWA went Runway is clear all emergency vehicles in place [Music] you can make this we're cutting it fine the error and those numbers from Montreal attention out left engine gone whatever happens I'll be back [Music] what the hell happened we adjusted the right Thruster to accommodate [Music] it goes the other one we've got a general failure it's gone I lost it it's just dropped off 174. 174 this is Winnipeg do you read it's gone 174 we lost your transpond the return 174 174 come in might just be their Electrics going to primary [Music] still nothing coming up [Music] should be an untagged blip in this quadrant but I had nothing [Music] I need some help here Lance some hydraulics [Music] it's like a power steering in my car when the engine goes dead now there's no there's no redundancy systems when the fuel's gone none only the emergency ramire turbine for Hydraulics no Hydraulics no power no transponder we must have dropped off the screen in Winnipeg ales of rammer turbine it says here the rat kicks in automatically when it reads two dead engines what the hell is it waiting for I gather you're a veteran at this kind of thing but me oh goodness no well um my husband is the airline's top mechanic he thinks everything is fine as long as there's lights in the cockpit and there must be power there some of the passengers have noticed there are no lights no it's fuel starvation Electric's conked out when the engine went out all right are we going down like hell we're going down this baby will Glide as long as I can keep the nose up that's the truth Larry nobody here is planning on dying alert the passengers use the megaphone and what do I tell them keep them busy with an emergency drill I'll be there no matter what I don't know how long I can keep this up lads gonna need a Glide path without power I can't do that I need altitude and ground speed as you can see we have a further technical problem complicating our final descent into Winnipeg the captain is confident will land safely but regulations require we now follow prescribed safety drills okay if everyone must remove their shoes jewelry particularly earrings anything sharp from your pockets make sure your seat belt is tightly fastened as low down on your hips as is possible this is all just a precaution we thank you for your cooperation [Music] what was that must be the Rat Hole popping and I hope so 174 this is Winnipeg do you read give me a hand with this harness a wind instructed cross your arms and hold the top of the seat back in front of you then rest your head in your arms practice this now the children can put a pillow in their lap or anything that would provide a cushion would be fine here let me make sure you hang on to that everything will be okay what's wrong mommy nothing it's all right this often happens on planes and daddy always makes sure that everything is fine okay [Music] affirmative yeah I got something [Music] 174 I think I've got you do you read me what's wrong with this why can't you people do anything right stamp seats collapsing it's designed to do that sir it cushions you if you just rest on it and don't try to mash it what's the matter we're all gonna die anyway Jude please be quiet I have a little daughter waiting for me at home and I have no intention of dying oh this plane's gone shut your stupid mouth [Music] I'm getting a little help with these hydraulics the rat must have kicked in got some juice give some power to the electronics then thank you God and Boeing for this Ram Air turbine gotcha 174 you're back on do read Roger Roger 174 is back this is a May Day I repeat this is a May Day we need a vector to the nearest possible Runway I'm at 22 000 feet and both engines have failed we're on emergency instruments I only have a limited amount of information to give you our heading is two three zero so could you please give us a vector to the nearest possible Runway standby 174. power you think you can bring in a 300 000 pound aircraft with a dead stick Landing I've never heard of it I'm trying to talk them in we're on to the factory over at Everett this can't be the first time this kind of thing has happened and the crew families know the crew's been diverted to Winnipeg [Music] I always keep track of where he is only when the in-laws are involved okay all right okay excuse me hello speaking really why oh no no I know I understand uh but as soon as you find out what would you give me a call please that's great thanks everything okay my plan's been diverted to Winnipeg really why I don't know [Music] there's a bit of luck at storms on the other side of town what do you think lads I don't know I've never tried a dead sea Landing before I threw up on it I'm an old sail planer trick is to find your Optimum forward speed to keep the nose too high you slow down if you let the nose get too low you become a narrow Dynamic Rock trying to help planning biggest problems coming in too short an Optimum forward speed is 220 knots Winnipeg could you give us a reading scattered clouds at four thousand feet visibility 15 miles wind of four knots at 350 degrees and your range is ranges 35 I'll make that 39 miles Roger Winnipeg got it I'm holding 220 knots for a reason to do your thing 174 can it give us Fuel and souls on board please fuel we still have fuel starvation Souls on board are 63 passengers four back end crew and two very determined Pilots it's a fuel problem so smoke inhalation will likely be a bigger killer than Birds where's triage sir if there's no Burns lung damage cases get first attention all the units are prepared good broken limbs go second unless there's had a rim trauma and I want him in the ambulances and Off The Runway stat yes sir questions [Music] [Music] stop stop stop stop stop are you all right shouldn't be can't help how you feel grounds together and I am right here for you all right deep breath better all right okay [Music] all right I'm just thinking about my baby ah [Music] okay okay we've got a lot to do [Music] [Music] it's a hell of a lot easier Dead stick in a sail plane and it is one of these big babies [Music] need the range win a peg got a range for us [Music] to 34 miles approaching 10 000 feet 10 000 feet I don't think I was that long that's okay without the engines I don't know how she can maintain cabin pressure anyway you don't want the oxygen mask popping out I panicked the passengers might Panic I'd be surprised but not back there in their own parachutes right now how we doing Maurice not as good as I hoped I haven't figured out we'll be fine we have to be why because if we were to die together there'd be no one to identify us we don't have anyone else neither of us yeah I suppose you're right never thought of that before it doesn't seem right I don't want it to be too late Frank we should have something more to leave behind than our personal libraries sure it doesn't have to be too late though let's hope not range again could you repeat please 174 your ranges 20 miles what was that range could you repeat please make that 20 miles 2-0 say again we won't make it there's no Glide path that'll bring us into Winnipeg if I keep this heading I'll only lose this aircraft but I'll take half a Winnipeg with me can't let that happen look bad on our resumes we're working on that 174 . time to begin up here [Music] it's Winnipeg I can see the airport look look over there wait a minute wait a minute there used to be an airstrip between here and Winnipeg [Music] we're 18 miles out of Winnipeg it should be there it is I don't see it Winnipeg this is 174. my first says he did some Air Force time out here at a place called affirmative Roger 174 I flew out of it a couple of times Well it's not marked that's because it's abandoned well it won't be for long give us a heading foreign either but I remember the place and I'm reading your position and I can give you an approximate heading only but can you fly there I think you're too high we'll have the side slip slip a little bit now and a whole lot when we get there good luck is my best guess on a heading what's he mean is it sail playing technique uses opposing forces cross-control ailerons and Rudder and you lose altitude fast damn fast turn right heading 3-1-0 got that Roger Winnipeg I'm gonna give it a try go pull his right or left and bank right that pushes the plane sideways giving it a bigger profile to the air current that creates drag and slows it it slows it too much Play No sink like a rock I swear we're moving away from Winnipeg [Music] complaints go sideways this one is [Music] the next time Glory he will come with come on [Music] [Music] how long have I got Maurice oh I know I don't know where you're going well you try and locate it I'll try and keep this baby in the sky thank you Rick could you hang in here until we spot Gimli on Maurice eyeballs for it I need somebody to keep their eye on my descent Glide path okay you got it but when we spot it I'm out of here [Music] [Music] I gather your an experienced flyer when we land can you manage that emergency door pleasure to help however I can if you're as calm as you seem I wish I were you learned it in aerial combat sometimes style is all you have left [Music] Alicia I'd like to dictate a letter to my wife [Music] actually if you get to this point of the tape could you shut it off and give it to Anne thank you God help me this is hard Maurice [Music] let's keep along the shoreline can't find it yet first time in my life I'd rather be on the ground than in the air [Music] foreign I know that Rick wouldn't leave Chris and me if there was any real Danger as long as he's up there doing fine you're right you're absolutely right I'm supposed to pick up my folks at Edmonton I wonder if anybody's called them [Music] we need someone preferably someone strong to help with the emergency doors assume you two would want to stick together no I can help [Music] on second thought we would like to stay together I understand foreign [Music] [Music] what's your altitude 4 000 and dropping find it more recent enough time so I don't overshoot this trip thank you when do we reach Winnipeg the engine's dead horse now these are just very quiet planes not that quiet what fell off the bottom of the plane I heard a noise just routine just be cool okay okay you want to help I need someone strong to work the emergency doors in case we need them can you do that sorry what did you do close down the engines this plane's awfully quiet it's just a quiet plane now keep your shirt on foreign seats if I were you that's the only way they can identify the bodies [Music] real hard on everybody [Music] 174 do you
