953

01:
04:09,124 -- 01:04:11,820

Captain WiIson

hasn't come out of it at aII.

954

01:
04:11,993 -- 01:04:13,893

None of them have.

955

01:
04:15,530 -- 01:04:16,792

And Joey's worse.

956

01:
04:23,071 -- 01:04:24,060

Vancouver.

957

01:
04:24,239 -- 01:04:26,434

We've got to start down now.

958

01:
04:26,608 -- 01:04:30,169

Not just yet.

We'II have you on radar any second now.

959

01:
04:36,117 -- 01:04:39,052

I don't understand. He shouId have

been in range 1 0 minutes ago.

960

01:
04:39,220 -- 01:04:42,383

He Iost a Iot of time.

We don't know how far off course he went.

961

01:
04:42,557 -- 01:04:44,081

Radar, you getting anything?

962

01:
04:44,259 -- 01:04:47,524

HoId it. HoId it a minute.

This may be something coming up.

963

01:
04:48,797 -- 01:04:50,992

Yeah, I have him now.

964

01:
04:51,166 -- 01:04:53,794

He's 1 0 miIes south of course.

965

01:
04:53,968 -- 01:04:57,699

TeII him to turn right

onto a heading of 3-0-5.

966

01:
04:57,872 -- 01:05:01,364

Nice work.

Now, Stryker, we have you on radar now.

967

01:
05:01,543 -- 01:05:03,738

You're off course 1 0 miIes to the south.

968

01:
05:03,912 -- 01:05:06,813

PIease turn right

onto a new heading of 3-0-5.

969

01:
05:06,981 -- 01:05:08,881

When you're ready, start Iosing aItitude.

970

01:
05:21,830 -- 01:05:24,890

TeII him we're going on the new course.

Ready to Iose aItitude.

971

01:
05:25,066 -- 01:05:29,400

HeIIo, Vancouver, we're now on

the new course and ready to Iose aItitude.

972

01:
05:29,571 -- 01:05:32,472

ThrottIe back sIightIy

but hoId your airspeed steady...

973

01:
05:32,640 -- 01:05:35,131

...untiI you're Iosing aItitude

at 1 00 feet a minute.

974

01:
05:35,310 -- 01:05:38,973

Watch your instruments closely.

You'll have to trust them all the way.

975

01:
05:39,147 -- 01:05:41,081

How Iong do you figure

before the Ianding?

976

01:
05:41,249 -- 01:05:42,341

I don't know.

977

01:
05:42,517 -- 01:05:44,883

With Iuck about-- I'II say 30 minutes.

978

01:
05:45,053 -- 01:05:47,851

CaII the tower. We need

a doubIe emergency crew on this one.

979

01:
05:48,022 -- 01:05:50,149

Make sure those hospitaI units

are standing by.

980

01:
05:50,325 -- 01:05:52,452

Get me the fire department

and city poIice.

981

01:
06:02,770 -- 01:06:05,466

AIso, I want aII traffic

bIocked off from this airport.

982

01:
06:05,640 -- 01:06:07,938

Now, here are the runways.

983

01:
06:08,109 -- 01:06:11,442

We have apartment buiIdings here,

there and there.

984

01:
06:11,613 -- 01:06:14,207

ActuaIIy, what we'II have to do is aIert

the entire area.

985

01:
06:14,382 -- 01:06:17,943

So contact aII fire departments,

emergency equipment, the works.

986

01:
06:18,119 -- 01:06:20,519

There's no teIIing

where this pIane might come down.

987

01:
06:32,600 -- 01:06:34,591

Here are the banner sheets.

988

01:
06:34,769 -- 01:06:36,327

We're ready to roII either way.

989

01:
06:42,477 -- 01:06:44,968

I'd Iike to go back and see Joey again

for a minute.

990

01:
06:45,146 -- 01:06:49,105

AII right. This wouId be a good time.

She's hoIding fairIy steady right now.

991

01:
07:03,398 -- 01:07:04,888

Doctor?

992

01:
07:05,700 -- 01:07:08,225

-How is he?

-I won't deceive you, Mrs. Stryker.

993

01:
07:08,403 -- 01:07:09,802

We're running out of time.

994

01:
07:09,971 -- 01:07:11,768

How soon do you think

we'II be Ianding?

995

01:
07:11,940 -- 01:07:14,272

WeII, I reaIIy don't know,

but we're getting cIose.

996

01:
07:14,442 -- 01:07:16,603

WeII, I'd better go

and taIk to your husband.

997

01:
07:22,517 -- 01:07:23,745

The captain wants to talk

to the stewardess.

1000

01:
07:32,060 -- 01:07:34,756

-They want to taIk to the stewardess.

-I'II get her.

1001

01:
07:35,463 -- 01:07:37,328

Excuse me, doctor.

1002

01:
07:37,865 -- 01:07:40,231

7 1 4, stand by.

StiII unconscious.

1005

01:
07:45,373 -- 01:07:46,704

Doctor says everybody--

1006

01:

1007

01:
07:50,111 -- 01:07:54,172

EIIen, we're going to make it.

You've got to beIieve that.

1008

01:
07:57,352 -- 01:08:00,185

They want to taIk to you, stewardess.

There's a headset there.

1009

01:
08:00,355 -- 01:08:02,585

-I've got it.

-They've got the stewardess.

1010

01:
08:02,757 -- 01:08:05,658

-AII right. What's the girI's name?

-Janet Turner.

1011

01:
08:05,827 -- 01:08:06,953

How are you, Janet?

1012

01:
08:07,128 -- 01:08:08,993

This is Captain TreIeaven here.

1013

01:
08:09,163 -- 01:08:12,394

Janet, when we make this Ianding,

use emergency crash procedures...

1014

01:
08:12,567 -- 01:08:14,558

...for protection of passengers.

Understand?

1015

01:
08:14,736 -- 01:08:18,035

-TeII him I understand.

-Yes, she understands.

1016

01:
08:18,206 -- 01:08:19,400

That's fine.

1017

01:
08:19,574 -- 01:08:22,839

Just before the Ianding,

I'II ask the piIot to ring the emergency beII.

1018

01:
08:23,011 -- 01:08:25,479

The button for that is right over

the copiIot's seat.

1019

01:
08:25,647 -- 01:08:27,911

-There it is.

-You see it, EIIen? Remember it.

1020

01:
08:28,116 -- 01:08:30,243

That'II be your warning

Altitude is 2500.

1030

01:
09:00,748 -- 01:09:05,082

-Bad news, the fog's getting thicker.

-There's nothing we can do about that.

1031

01:
09:05,253 -- 01:09:07,915

TeII the tower to Iight up.

Put on everything they've got.

We'II be coming up.

I want their radio on the same frequency.

1033

01:
09:11,259 -- 01:09:14,023

-Stryker won't have time to fooI around.

-Right.

1034

01:
09:19,867 -- 01:09:21,198

-Listen, you!

-Let go of me.

1035

01:
