MIRACLE LANDING
On April 28, 1988 on an inter-island flight in Hawaii a section of the fuselage roof suddenly rips away. The pilot and co-pilot flash back to earlier incidents in their lives while struggling to fly the crippled plane. They are successful in bringing the plane into the airport. [12:30 to 1:21:16]
A film that manages to keep the level of drama up on this true story. Even though you know how it turns out, you’re kept on the edge of your seat and biting your nails. Good performances by Rogers and Sellecca.
