    Chilling
    As part of employment training is training with Alaska Airlines in-and-in 2000 or 2001 con than one, they had as watched this film partly due to the fact that they had just lost an aircraft and wanted us to be empathetic with the family members of those affected. The unfortunate result: due to the chilling reality of the scenes, I was unable to view the entire film, costing me the position.

    While I was active-duty Air Force stationed overseas in 1983 or '84, there was a crash at a nearby facility that I was tasked with on site support, which, unfortunately, caused PTSD. Viewing this film triggered an episode, albeit quiet, but an episode with it's chilling memories. Even now, 37 or 38 years later, it is difficult to write this.

    The characters and jobs they did were well done, as was the cinematography of the scene. So very realistic.
