Quiz
At the start, when the two pilots exit the simulator, they complain to the simulator examiner about "a dumb set of scenarios" and "an impossible set of conditions, who ever dreamed that up". The examiner responds with "It isn't a dream, it happened". He would know, he is the real life Bob Pearson, the actual captain of the Gimli Glider.

Blooper
When the aircraft is shown taking off, it is a 737-200, as the engines are long and thin, whereas a 767 has wider engines

Citazioni
[after the two pilots crash in the simulator]
Simulator pilot: Is this some kind of joke? There's no way to land that aircraft the way you guys got it programmed!
Simulator co-pilot: Dumb scenario if you ask me! Impossible set of conditions! Who ever dreamed that up?
Inspector: It isn't a dream. It happened.

Curiosità sui crediti

Would like to own a copy in VHS to view in the USA

I happened along this movie quite by accident. William Devane does an excellent job portraying an airline captain in charge of a doomed flight. The film was exhausting to watch. I felt like I was there in the cockpit helping Mr. Devane myself. I have tried for years to find a copy of this tape. Not until late last year was it available on VHS in the UK. I ordered the tape immediately. When the tape arrived, I was devastated to find out the VHS tapes sold in England and many other European countries are made on a different standard than ours here in the USA. I have the film on VHS in PAL standard but need it in NTSC or SECAM standard, whichever works in the US. I have been unable to get any help on this. I would very much like a copy of this film if anyone has any ideas.
