Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Continuity: In the opening of the movie when Transair 290 is shown flying it's clear that's the airplane is Boeing 747 (engines under the wings). Later, when crash site is shown, the debris are from a plane with an engine in the tail, like DC-10. more

Not Bad., 7 February 2004
Author: astrobob21 from Ashland, KY

As an aviation buff I was really excited to see this movie. Although there were a few inaccuracies (such as planes changing models and such), it really wasnt a bad film. I could really identify with the characters and you could really care or hate them. Overall I'd give this movie an 8/10.

PS: To all the people who posted about the "real" crash footage....it was from Delta Flight 191 and it was an L1011 that crashed at Dallas in 85. United 232 was a DC-10 and it crashed in Sioux City Iowa in 1989.
