What time is it?

Something happened.

Reporter:

... of flight 82 have gathered

to await bulletins

from Infinity Airlines.

Now, once again,

if you are just tuning in,

about an hour and 8 minutes

after takeoff,

Infnity flight 82,

the last flight to take off

from O'Hare before it closed,

disappeared from

radar screens over Kansas.

This has not been officially

confirmed by Infinity,

but we're hearing reports

from Marysville, Kansas,

that a crash site

indeed has been found.

[Telephone Rings]

[Ring]

Hello?

Mom, what is it?

Is something wrong?

Chicago. No, he's coming

back tomorrow. What...

What?

Oh, Jesus.

They said Infnity?

No, no, no.

He's not taking that.

I spoke to him.

Mother, stop it.

Will you put Les

on the phone, please?

Just put...

[Thud]

Ohh...

Les...

What's the flight number?

[Sighs]

Oh, thank God.

No, he's not on that flight.

He's coming back tomorrow.

He hasn't even left yet.

Tell her...

What is she saying?

Because he probably

doesn't know.

He's in an airport hotel

or something.

Listen, I'll call you

as soon as I know anything.

I just don't want to tie up

the phone right now.

OK.

[Beep]

[Turns TV On]

Reporter:

Aviation sources tell us

that in an air disaster

of this magnitude,

those aboard the plane...

208 passengers

and 8 crew members...

would be

unlikely to survive.

Witnesses near the scene,

some 75 miles

northwest of Topeka,

report seeing

a huge fireball

seconds after impact.

We are looking now

at pictures of the field...

[Siren]

Hey, Janice.

Oh, God, Buddy!

I knew 3 girls on the crew,

and the co-pilot was my friend.

We got a problem, OK?

The roster's not right.

Oh, Jesus.

You got to get

into the system.

Can you do that?

Who was he?

J-A-N-E-L-L-O.

Greg Janello.

Was he on that flight?

[Sighs] Thank you.

OK. So, flight 31,

that's leaving when?

OK. Thank you.

Thank you.

OK. See?

Now you can relax.

I just wish

he would call me.

Donna:
Well, he's asleep.

You don't get news reports

when you're sleeping.

Come on, drink this.

Then I'm gonna go home,

and if you need me,

I'm just across the street.

Don't you have anything

better than this to eat?

I'm so hungry.

I want something bad.

Joey:
Mama?

Hey, what are you

doing up?

Can I watch TV?

No, silly-billy.

You can't watch TV.

Now, come on. Let Aunt Donna

tuck you right back in.

I'll take care of him.

Ohh, my big boy.

What time is it

in Chicago?

Donna:
It's 9:00.

Jesus Christ, Donna,

where the hell is he?

I don't know.

Scott:
Hey.

There's someone

at the door.

Mrs. Janello?

Are you from

the airline?

Yes.

I'm Kevin Walters,

and this is

Ellen Seitz.

Ma'am, the reason

that we're...

No. He's taking

a later flight.

When's the last time

you spoke to him?

Um, well, last night

at about 8:
00.

8:
00. That's

10 p.m., Chicago.

We have conflicting

manifests.

One of them, we can't tell

yet if it's accurate or not,

one of them lists your

husband on flight 82.

No. I know he got...

he got bumped.

He's on a later flight.

We have a crisis center

at LAX.

That's where

the frst news will be.

OK. Just a minute.

Nope.

OK, OK.

We're gonna go together,

and Jack is gonna

watch the children.

Donna...

do not cry.

Please do not cry.

I'm not crying.

[Airplane Engines Revving]

Stewardess:

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are making our final

approach into Los Angeles.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fne.

So this flight

was OK?

Ha. Well, it landed.

Yeah.

You know, that's good.

Maybe I...

Yeah. How you been?

Those poor people.

It's terrible.

[Sighs]

Mrs. Janello...

[Indistinct Speech]

Ohh! Oh, no!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

[Shouting Indistinctly]

Want a drink?

Uh, no, thanks.

Infnity's

already called.

They want us to help out

with damage control,

TV spots, print,

you know.

Yeah.

TV:
Weather conditions

there

improved somewhat

this afternoon,

allowing for the removal

of several sections

of the downed plane...

Jim:
So you might want to

go easy on the drinking.

I don't want you hungover.

Jim:
So, first thing

tomorrow, OK?

[Children Playing]

[Telephone Rings]

Man:

Got it, thanks.

Dionne:
Yeah,

take down the blue ones.

[Ring]

Hey, Dionne,

where's Jim?

Dionne:
No, they're all

in a meeting.

Jim.

Conference room.

Hey, what is this?

What happened

to 6 months

trying to create

a consistent,

you know, brand image

in the public eye?

Who OK'd... What is this?

This is dog sh*t.

Buddy, come on, it's just giving

families numbers to call, OK?

It's not like

tomorrow's ad.

Hey, weren't you supposed

to be on that flight?

No, I, uh, stayed over

another night.

What do you mean,

tomorrow's ad?

That's Todd Exner.

Damage control.

Infnity.

Please, people, um...

We don't have

a lot of time today.

I'll be brief.

I want to thank you all

for your ideas,

but, uh, I'm gonna

recommend to the board

that we go with the concept

thatJosh and Sharon

have been working on.

That's Karen,

actually.

It's based on a wire photo

out of Chicago.

I'm gonna need someone

Exner:
to lockdown the rights

on this, pronto.

[Scoffs]

Is that a joke?

[Laughs]

You got to be kidding me.

You're not gonna run

this sentimental,

self-serving crap.

Excuse me?

Who cares how

Infnity Airlines feel?

Who gives a sh*t?

They crashed the plane.

Buddy:
So what? Right?

Happens all the time.

They'll do

an investigation.

The FAA in 10 months will

say it was a hydraulic line

or a fuel line or a rudder

or something, right?

Buddy:

I mean, sh*t happens.

Happens to TWA,

happens to Delta,

happens to United.

Why are we gonna take

responsibility for bad luck?

I don't think we want

to hide our heads in the sand.

Plus, you don't

originate campaigns.

OK, Karen?

Neither do you, Josh.

We all do, together.

Jim:
Buddy,

this is not about running

the ball around you.

OK, let's get on this,

all right?

Exner:
I want to fax a copy

to the board by noon.

USA Today, New York Times,

Chicago Tribune, L.A. Times.

OK, come on. Let's go.

Carol,
