Look at the trivia section for this movie. One point of trivia stood out to me. Vic Morrow, while working on a previous movie, took out life insurance before he did a scene with a helicopter. A crew member asked him why and he said "I've always had a premonition that I was going to die in a helicopter." Do you think this is true? Do you think people can be psychic like this?
Yes... I believe that people can be "psychic" and have premonitions...
I'm not quite sure what that means though...
President Abraham Lincoln had a dream that he was assassinated in office.
People had bad feelings about sailing on Titanic. Interestingly, about 20 years earlier, there was a book written about the "Titan" that sank too. The stats of the two ships are nearly identical. Coincidence? Who knows.
The commander of Flight 19, had an uneasy feeling about the flight, and asked to be relieved of duty that day. He was told to go, and he later vanished "in" the Bermuda Triangle.
Some people had premonitions days before American Airlines Flight 191 crashed after takeoff from Chicago on May 25, 1979. They described the plane almost flawlessly, and stated it didn't "sound right". The left engine came off on the runway during take off. Everyone On Board Died.
Actress Lindsay Wagner, star of the TV-series The Bionic Woman, was booked on Flight 191 together with her mother but when they were about to board Wagner became uneasy and decided not to fly.
There are many many other examples of premonitions.
Talk about irony! This evening TCM ran a spot featuring Vic Morrow promoting The Blackboard Jungle[/i]. Immediately following that, Ben Mankiewicz came on with the evening's guest programmer, John Landis. Landis introduced the film he chose, [i]Paths of Glory[/i], about a military commander's indifference to vast losses of the lives entrusted to him in his quest for personal success. The Vic Morrow thing may have been intentional on someone's part, but the creepy thing is Landis was probably totally oblivious to the irony of all this. It also seems Morrow sensed years earlier how he was to die. http://www.aintnowaytogo.com/twZone.htm The whole thing was so creepy and ironic it would have been material for an episode of [i]The Twilight Zone.
