If you look back at all the Airport movies, none of them had any kind of mechanical issues that led to their disasters. They were all human causes.

"2 . The girl that plays MD's sister cant act with a gun to her head" Which is probably why, according to imdb.com, this is the only movie she's ever been in.

Never knew him personally but from what I have seen of him on talk shows he seemed like the kind of person you'd love to have as a friend. I was so saddened when he died.

Tenafly was played by James McEachin who interestingly was in a couple of Columbo episodes. (Not as Tenafly, though)

It had been stated earlier that the landing gear was jacked up.

Just saw this yesterday. I caught that, too! :-D

Yes, and Elton John covered it. (I actually did not know it was originally done by the Beatles until many years later. I was never a big Beatles fan.)

I read that the actresses who played them actually switched roles.

I'd put Dalton and Craig ahead of Moore any day.

There were others such as Hec Ramsey, Tenafly (didn't last long) and Banacek. I liked them all. I think some of those were on Wednesday night? -John

Do we really NEED any movie? This looks like a good movie so I plan on giving it a look.

His name was Philip Dodds. He was originally brought on to set up and manage the Arp 2500 synthesizer. Spielberg liked the way he looked so he gave him the part of the Arp musician. Sadly, he died in 2007.

I have wondered that from the start. And it appears to fly upside down but that I guess is explainable. John

I just saw him get clobbered in the episode "Undercover" - knocked out, actually. But, no, he didn't fight back.

Yes. I forgot about that. I was so amazed at the CGI animation. I forgot about Mowgli.

What's even worse is that Starz reduces that end credits scene to postage stamp size to show previews. The end sequence score is phenomenal.
