I have not seen this movie in ages but continually search for it's availability. After reading some previous comments I felt compelled to add my 2 cents. My dad was a captain with EAL (for 36 years) during this incident and also flew the 1011. I was in 8th grade at the time and was extremely fascinated with the whole experience. I still am and have the copy from EAL's Falcon issue containing the initial report. Our family was huddled around the t.v. when this movie aired. We also saw the "Crash of flight 401", which oddly enough I have been able to find a copy of on VHS. We always felt the "Ghost" was the real meat of the story and what took this beyond your average tragic crash. My dad had to admit that many of the claims and events were truthful, but we could never get him to admit that he believed the ghost aspect could be reality. He did however have to deal with the claims and fears of crew members/stewardesses. I recall many instances he sighted which showed an overall uneasiness (amongst passengers and crew members) for quite a time to come. I would really love to see this movie reprinted.
