Pushing Tin Page #7
Runways cleared for three landings
before replowing.
of 1/4 mile at 2000 feet...
Morton.
Repeat, please.
Who is this? How...?
Hey, Falzone.
Were you on approach last night
around 1:
00 a.m.?- What are you doing?
- Wrong answer?
- Nick!
- Knock it off!
- What are you doing?
- Nick, come on!
- Leo, we gotta talk!
- There's a bomb in the building.
- What?
- A what?
- We just got a call. There's a bomb.
- Well, that's a hoax.
- It came in on the secure line.
- I just wet myself.
That was me.
Take out this place,
The guy said it's good to go at 11:00.
- What do we do?
- We clear the building.
We're stopping all takeoffs.
Central Flow's holding
all incoming flights.
All we gotta do is land or reroute...
...every plane in our airspace
within the next...
...26 minutes.
Listen. I know I can't ask
any of you to stay...
...but I need two volunteers
to handle approach. We can do it.
It'll be fun.
These guys are coming in
with close to zero visibility.
The human body has a finite capacity
for handling stress.
I don't mind losing my health,
but I wanna keep my ass.
I'll stay.
- Good.
- I'll stay.
- Not him!
- Why not?
- We'll talk later. Let Barry do it!
- I'm fine.
- I like Russell's idea.
- Russell's on. Come on, clear.
Move away from the building.
Move away from the building.
Here's the bomb squad.
I'm gonna get some answers.
Sir, how many controllers
are in the building?
We got two.
Come on! You rolling? Okay.
There are two controllers...
...inside the threatened facility...
...who are frantically
and very courageously...
...guiding aloft planes to safety.
- Go to 4000.
- Turn right heading 330, speed 180.
Delta 2202, left heading 040.
Maintain 4000.
No. I can't take any more
unless fuel emergency.
Pull Delta. I can take it.
Northwest 2442, Newark altimeter 2891.
What the f***'s wrong with you?
Eagle 49, proceed to outer marker,
ILS runway four. F*** you, Russell!
- Turn, Northwest.
- He's in the turn. Go to two.
- What did I do?
- Save it for the hearing!
- You'll go down in flames!
- Kiss my ass!
United. That wasn't to you.
- What is it?
- Enjoy your last session!
- What?!
- Will you take that thing off?!
- Give me my feather!
- You can't have it.
1361, you're clear for approach.
- You don't need it!
- Give it to me!
- Your luck's run out!
- Why do you take my sh*t?
- You Riverdance motherf***er!
- Give me my feather!
It's mine. It's mine.
You can't have it.
- 2297 to 6000.
Here we go. 1077245...
- Sh*t!
- Jesus Christ!
Switch over to the main speaker.
Continental 2130,
137 miles from marker...
- I'm clear.
- Me too.
Gotta go! Now! Get out now!
- Give me my feather!
- I don't want to talk about it!
Sparta Air 753 checking in.
Newark approach. Sparta 753.
Sparta 753 checking in.
Anybody there?
Sparta Air 753.
It's Jethro. Sparta 753, do you read?
753, this is Newark approach.
If you read, squawk ident.
- He'll miss the localizer.
- He's below minimum.
Sparta 753, this is Newark on 121.5.
Sparta 753, Newark approach.
Sparta 753?
753 has radio failure.
Can you plug me through?
Sh*t. How about company frequency?
Thanks anyway.
Communications are down.
What the...?
I'm gonna try the center.
Center, Sparta 753 descending.
Needs a turn and a climb.
We can't reach him. If you can get
to him, climb him to 2000. Thanks.
Godspeed, son.
753. I am not receiving.
Ya'll get fired again?
Come on, Nick! Get out of there!
Get out of there!
- Get down, Nick! Get down!
- It's gonna blow!
What the...?
Get him out of there!
Get out of here!
All right. All right. Where's Russell?
- He came out before I did!
- No, he didn't!
Operator, listen.
Connect me with Sparta Base
Operations in Greensboro.
The pilot?
Who shall I say is calling?
Sparta Air 753,
ILS runway four, left.
Everybody, get down! Stay down!
Get behind the vehicle.
Get back, people. Down.
- My God, he made it!
- Look, it's Russell!
Please! Stay back behind the line!
What happened? Are you okay?
After a search of the building,
no bomb was found.
The call was a hoax...
...that put many lives at risk
in the sky and in air traffic control.
While controllers ran
for their lives...
...one man guided
the pilots to safety.
Russell Bell, what made you stay
as time was running out?
It's my job.
While the identity of the hoax caller
is unknown, New York has identified...
Perfect. Perfect.
Come on.
Come on.
The kids and I are going
to Felicia's for a while.
- Come on, this is crazy.
- I left some casseroles in the fridge.
Put the suitcases away, okay?
- I've lost you.
- I'm here.
- This is not...
- I'm right here.
It's not all about the cheating, okay?
You know, I think that's
messed you up more than it has me.
- Put the suitcase down, sweetie.
- We used to be...
...so much in love, Nick.
And anything less than that,
it just feels like nothing.
- Do you understand?
- You're making a big mistake.
- Do you understand?
- No, and you don't either!
- Motherfuck...
- Why do I bother, you know?
You're gonna leave?!
in those suitcases? Connie?
You know I'm gonna make this up
to you, don't you?
- You all work with Russell?
- I'm right there.
I said something good about you
but it got cut out.
- See the guy with the hat right there?
- Hey, sweetie.
I'll have a double tequila.
Russell's gone.
He took off with that crazy wife.
- Russell Bell is a hero.
I must say, I think he is.
We've tried to find out more about...
3451, turn left heading 060. Expedite!
Mother...!
- What's the matter?
- This TWA got in my airspace.
- He's got a data block.
- He was supposed to be at 5000.
- Tommy, sit down for Nick.
- Sure.
- Zone.
- I don't need him.
- Let's go have coffee.
- It had to be an operational error!
- You had a deal.
- Yesterday, he lands a zillion planes.
Today, he takes two
I'm going to work. I had a deal.
So you've slapped my wrist.
- Do the paperwork and let me get back.
- Why don't you take today off?
- Go play with the wife.
- Just make sure it's your wife.
What?
- Who's ready?
- I am.
He's a go-around.
Landing gear not green.
Also, focus here on USAir 4844
and United 2417.
Nick, are you all right?
Are you on that? Are you on that?!
- What's going on?
Correction.
Resequencing for runway 04, right.
- You want to pull the tapes?
- There's nothing to hear, so...
I want you to go home.
Home?
You get three deals in two years
and then I gotta yank you.
- Go home. You're dangerous right now.
- Just get some rest, Zone.
It's a slow day. We can handle it.
- I'll come back in the morning.
- Come back when you're ready.
- Front door's open.
