NTSB: Crash of flight 232

[Mav204]

Just want to get some feedback from anybody that saw the ABC TV. movie last night!

I saw the movie and I must say that the movie sucked. It was poorly directed, the acting left much to be desired, and the special effects weren't so special. When an airliner slams into the ground at high speed, the fragmentation is much greater than a fuselage broken in half. I have never seen Investigators walk into a crash scene wearing street clothes and windbreakers. Normally investigators wear the tyvak antiBio clothes and normally the NTSB doesn't land a helicopter 15 feet from smoldering wreckage. I wish I would have known the movie was going to be so bad I would have been better served to spend my time watching paint dry.

Was there a strong-willed female in it? If so and the movie sucked, it will next air on Lifetime sometime next year.

Hi...

Interestingly enough my local television listings showed the title as being about the "crash of flight 323." So.....not knowing about a "flight 323" I didn't watch. Apparently a blessing in disguise.

I tivoed it. Was going to check it out tonight. However after reading this post It will get the good old delete button!!!

yeah. yeah, I watched it

The line, "It's not like he was freebasing in the cockpit!" was hilarious. The rest was pretty bad, and full of technical errors.

This wasn't based on a real-life crash, I don't think. I saw this listed in the TV guide as "Crash of Flight 323", but I've never heard of that one. 232, yes, 323, no.

Where to begin...?

1) "The line, "It's not like he was freebasing in the cockpit!" was hilarious" I agree.

2) It seemed to have been "based" on several of different accidents:
- Flight 323 ~= Flight 232 wasn't that the UAL DC-10 at Souix City?
- The CA used differential thrust to try and turn the plane (like in 232)
- They "found" a rudder hard-over problem in a plane that looked like a 737, but for liablity reasons, I'm sure, it was called something else. I think this hard-over problem was was involved in the UAL 737 crash at Colorado Springs and the US Air one in Pittsburgh (?)
- Fire/explosion on board in the baggage hold (ValueJet?)


Now let's start a thread about the tech errors. If you recorded it, you have to watch it to see what the head FA finds in the lav, and better yet, what she does after that!

I saw about 5 minutes. It sucked bad... I mean really, really, really bad.

I like how they used a Canadian Westjet 737 in the movie. I thought the tail looked familiar, and then I noticed the Canadian registration.

I got tired after a few minutes. I switched to Average Joe. That kind of sucked too though.

Watched 15 minutes of it before I realized my roomate was asleep and I was able to boost the remote.

The movie sucked balls.
