Yikes, indeed! I fly every week...
It's like those horror stories of restaurants: what's actually going on back there?
What's going on up in the cockpit?
I had an emergency landing last year - en route for Istanbul, diverted to St. John's, Newfoundland. 2 hours on the ground before takeoff, bumpy start, turbulence...The flight attendants got edgier and edgier. Soon they were practically barking instructions.
I did the only sane thing - fell asleep. Woke on the descent into St. John's.
What must have been going on in the cockpit? After seeing this film, I have some idea.
TMI? Well, no.
I really admire artists who come up with some kind of unique or wacky conceit or concept. And then, rather than leave it by the barstool, follow it through, in a clear - headed, not overly overstated kind of way.
6 Black Box stories. 3 - D glasses. A cockpit. A few sound effects. Some very effective editing - only when it's needed.
You want to laugh at the geese chapter. Just because it's really short and ridiculous. But it ain't funny. At all.
Those people on the last flight, the Sioux City, Iowa one, were incredible. Their professionalism can truly be called touching. They reminded me of some of the soldiers in Ford's Fort Apache (certainly NOT the Henry Fonda character!). There's actually a lot of available documentation about that one.
An amazing film. Recommend it? Well...Best to know what you're getting into.
