00:
26:28,532 -- 00:26:31,126

We need ambuIance standing by

and the hospitaI notified.

349

00:
26:31,301 -- 00:26:33,667

-They have to have speciaI equipment ready.

-Right.

350

00:
26:33,837 -- 00:26:36,032

Is there any chance at aII Ianding

near CaIgary?

351

00:
26:36,206 -- 00:26:38,640

-None.

-Doctor?

352

00:
26:39,710 -- 00:26:40,802

The woman ate fish too.

353

00:
26:40,978 -- 00:26:43,173

And there are two more cases.

And they ate fish.

354

00:
26:43,347 -- 00:26:46,475

WeII, now we know what we're facing.

355

00:
26:46,650 -- 00:26:49,619

Find out everybody who had fish

and heIp me get medicine to them.

356

00:
26:49,786 -- 00:26:52,778

You'd better notify Vancouver

to put a ban on serving any food...

357

00:
26:52,956 -- 00:26:55,151

...from the source

that furnished that fish.

358

00:
26:55,459 -- 00:26:56,619

-Doctor?

-Yep?

359

00:
26:56,793 -- 00:26:58,624

I just remembered something.

360

00:
26:59,196 -- 00:27:00,254

I ate fish too.

361

00:
27:00,430 -- 00:27:04,992

Oh, darIing. Oh, sweetheart.

362

00:
27:09,506 -- 00:27:12,168

Try to stay covered, Joey.

I know it hurts, darIing.

363

00:
27:12,342 -- 00:27:15,209

But your father's just gone for the doctor.

364

00:
27:15,679 -- 00:27:19,046

-Stewardess, what's going on?

-Just keep your seat, pIease.

365

-You'd better taIk to him.

368

00:
27:29,159 -- 00:27:30,717

-Can I heIp?.

-Oh, yes, Tony.

369

00:
27:30,894 -- 00:27:33,761

-WouId you heIp give me out the medicine?

-Sure.

370

00:
27:33,931 -- 00:27:36,798

CaIgary Radio, this is 7 1 4.

We're in troubIe.

371

00:
27:36,967 -- 00:27:39,299

27:39,469 -- 00:27:42,927

...and priority approach and landing

Stand by, 7 1 4.

374

FIight 7 1 4 notifies emergency.

380

00:
28:09,366 -- 00:28:11,266

HoId aII takeoffs. That's right.

381

00:
28:11,435 -- 00:28:15,098

I don't want another pIane in the air.

I don't care what the commitments are.

382

00:
28:15,272 -- 00:28:18,435

Charter FIight 7 1 4 is in troubIe.

Food poisoning.

383

00:
28:18,609 -- 00:28:22,045

I can't go into detaiI now,

but it's coming in without a copiIot.

384

00:
28:22,212 -- 00:28:24,373

That's what I said.

The copiIot's unconscious.

385

00:
28:24,548 -- 00:28:27,346

There's a chance the food poisoning

wiII strike the captain.

386

00:
28:27,517 -- 00:28:30,350

What about that air force North Star,

just reported at 1 8,000?

387

00:
28:30,520 -- 00:28:34,889

Tower, when the North Star reports, bring it

straight in. And cIear Green Airway 1 .

388

00:
28:35,058 -- 00:28:37,993

Yeah, we'II Iet you know the minute

anything happens.

389

00:
28:38,161 -- 00:28:41,289

You don't beIieve there's a chance

of the captain getting sick?

390

00:
28:41,465 -- 00:28:42,955

You read the message.

391

00:
28:43,133 -- 00:28:45,363

This is going to be a reaI sweat.

392

00:
28:45,535 -- 00:28:47,025

Better take this in to Burdick.

393

00:
28:49,039 -- 00:28:52,941

Put out a generaI buIIetin to suspend aII

meaI service on fIights out of Winnipeg.

394

00:
28:53,110 -- 00:28:56,079

Keep everyone out of this area.

We don't want a mob out here.

395

00:
28:56,246 -- 00:28:58,510

-What's the Iatest on the weather?

-CIosed down.

396

00:
28:58,682 -- 00:29:01,446

Low stratus and ground fog.

So are Edmonton and Lethbridge.

397

00:
29:01,618 -- 00:29:03,813

-You working them direct?

-No, through CaIgary.

398

00:
29:03,987 -- 00:29:06,888

Get a message through.

Ask if they're got a doctor on board.

399

00:
29:07,057 -- 00:29:09,548

TeII them we're getting

the best medicaI advice here.

400

00:
29:09,726 -- 00:29:10,784

Get me Dr. Davidson.

401

00:
29:10,961 -- 00:29:14,294

You'II find his number in the emergency Iist.

Then get me the poIice.

402

00:
29:14,464 -- 00:29:18,025

I want the weather on every Ianding fieId

on their side of the mountains.

403

00:
29:18,201 -- 00:29:20,066

Any pIace there's a chance to Iand.

404

00:
29:20,237 -- 00:29:22,797

No dice. CaIgary's run that check.

405

00:
29:22,973 -- 00:29:26,136

There's fog down to the deck

everywhere east of the Rockies.

406

00:
29:26,310 -- 00:29:28,210

They'II have to come through.

407

00:
29:28,912 -- 00:29:31,073

How Iong ago did CaIgary taIk

to Captain WiIson?

408

00:
29:31,248 -- 00:29:33,512

-About 1 0 minutes.

-Is he stiII feeIing aII right?

409

00:
29:33,684 -- 00:29:36,414

Hasn't affected him at aII so far.

410

00:
29:39,656 -- 00:29:40,953

He's got to fight it off.

411

00:
29:43,827 -- 00:29:45,761

The morphine shouId heIp you hoId it off.

412

00:
29:45,929 -- 00:29:48,090

-Do you stiII feeI aII right?

-Yeah.

413

00:
29:48,265 -- 00:29:51,359

There's seIdom Iogic to these things.

You might not be affected.

414

00:
29:51,535 -- 00:29:54,333

-How are the peopIe back there?

-We'II take care of them.

415

00:
29:54,504 -- 00:29:57,473

You're sure there's no possibiIity

of the weather cIearing...

416

00:
29:57,641 -- 00:30:00,610

-...before we start over the mountains?

-Not a chance.

417

00:
30:00,777 -- 00:30:02,642

WeII, I'd better get back.

418

00:
30:02,946 -- 00:30:06,882

I think I'II teII them aII

what's causing the troubIe, if you agree.

419

00:
30:07,484 -- 00:30:08,974

Go ahead.

420

00:
30:09,753 -- 00:30:11,345

Doctor?

421

00:
30:12,289 -- 00:30:14,189

I'm gIad you're here.

422

00:
30:19,930 -- 00:30:21,522

May I have your attention, pIease?

423

00:
30:23,734 -- 00:30:25,725

My name is Baird. I'm a doctor.

424

00:
30:25,902 -- 00:30:28,063

As you know,

some of the passengers are sick.

425

00:
30:28,238 -- 00:30:31,935

We suspect the fish which was served

for dinner might have been contaminated.

426

00:
30:32,109 -- 00:30:35,704

There's no cause for aIarm. Even if you

had fish you might not be affected.

427

00:
30:35,879 -- 00:30:38,347

But if you did have fish,

we'II teII you what to do.

428

00:
30:42,819 -- 00:30:45,413

The boy's in an awfuI Iot of pain.

Can you do anything?

429

00:
30:45,589 -- 00:30:48,956

He'II be asIeep before Iong.

Keep him quiet and warm. That's your job.

430

00:
30:49,126 -- 00:30:51,924

What's going on up there?

I think I have a right to know.
