Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen the crew lowers the landing gear, the indicator light can be seen coming on - four lights, one for the nosewheel and three for the main landing gear (left, center, right). The center landing gear was included in the heavier DC-10-30 and -40 variants - but the UA232 DC-10 was the earlier, lighter -10 variant, which did not have center landing gear, only left and right. (The TV movie about the Sioux City crash features exactly the same mistake.)
- Quotes
Bill Ratner: All the hydraulic lines were either punctured of severed. The plane essentially bled to death.

True Heroes
This episode is on one of the most iconic crashes. It was one the few crashes filmed back then, allowing even more to witness the tragedy. What those pilots did was beyond remarkable, and their attitude after is a tribute to what being a real hero is. I have seen a few documentaries about this crash, and this is one of the best. Sadly, any new one can't have some survivors telling their story, as they have began to succumb to father time. I am glad that this was made in time to hear them tell their side of events. Some crashes are very short, this one took awhile to happen, allowing the passengers and crew to think about things. Bc of the number of people on board who survived, it is tough to tell everyone's story. Other remakes focus on other passengers, but it did do a good job of doing what it could. This is an episode that could have been a two hour long one to tell more of the story, there is so much to tell. A top 3 episode of this amazing series for sure. When I get people to watch this series, this is the episode I have them start with. It simply doesn't get much better for the show than this one.
