lt's out, isn't it? -What makes you think that?

-Never mind about that. lt's true, isn't it? Nine minutes ago,

Outboard 1 was struck by lightning. -There was a flameout and we lost it.

-Lightning? Lightning. Mr. Valentine,

this aircraft has four engines. The possibility of us losing one

of the remaining three is remote. Are you sure it was just lightning? Absolutely. Listen, we're gonna be landing

in about 20 minutes. There is the highest probability

that we'll survive this flight. Okay. We'll see you downstairs in 20 minutes.

Sit down. Buckle them up. STEWARDESS:

Are you okay? No. No, no, no. [GlRL LAUGHlNG] l love you, baby. Hail Mary, full of grace.

The Lord is with thee. Oh, my God. WOMAN:

We're gonna die. STEWARDESS: Please, sir,

would you please just take your seat? Nothing, nothing. Help. Sir? Sir? GlRL:

Mommy. Mommy. What are you doing now?

That's very bad manners, you know. GlRL: Didn't anyone ever

teach you manners, huh? Come on. Come on. [METAL CLlNKlNG] MAN:

We're all gonna die. VALENTlNE:

Damn. [WOMAN SCREAMlNG] [VALENTlNE GRUNTS] MAN:

My gun. Oh, my God. He's got a gun. [ALL SCREAMlNG] [GUNSHOTS] [WHEELS WH lRLlNG] And that's exactly how it happened. l'm practically a hero. Would you believe that? PlLOT:

lf that weather hadn't broke... . ..we would have never have gotten

this baby down. What a hell of a night. We got the storm, we got the flameout,

and then that freak show. Not to mention the gun.

The gun was awful. -He didn't have a gun.

-He had a gun? No, no, no, he didn't have a gun.

lt was my gun. -l'm FAA. l'm authorized to have a gun.

-He was so crazy. He smashed the window.

What was he trying to do, get out? lt's claustrophobia. They'd rather fall to the ground

than stay aboard. -l've seen it happen. l've seen it.

-You'd have to be wacko. He was frightened,

but l didn't think he was crazy. But he said he saw something

out on the wing alive. Max, we lost Number 1 .

Check out Number 2, will you? Somebody give me a light.

l want the gear pinned. -Let's chock these tires.

MAN:
Right. Franco, let me know what's going on

with these flaps. l wanna know if there's any fuel

leaking out of this baby. And get these people out of here. [SlREN WAlLlNG] MAN:

Yeah, that's fine, Maxie. Everything's okay here, Max. Max. Max! Max! Holy Toledo. MAX:

Hey, you guys, what happened up there? [POLlCE SlREN WAlLlNG] [LAUGH lNG] DRlVER:

That's enough of that noise, huh? Who needs it anyway?

How about a little music? Sure. ["MlDNlGHT SPEClAL"

PLAYS ON RADlO] Hey, that's. ... That's.... l love Creedence. So you had a big scare up there, huh? Oh, yeah. Wanna see something really scary? NARRATOR: There is a fifth dimension

beyond that which is know to man. lt is the middle ground

between light and shadow... ...between science and superstition... ...and it lies between the pit of man's fears

and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call

the Twilight Zone. Line 1294
