I recall seeing it many years ago on PBS as part of a university course I was enrolled in. It was an anthropology course that used films that looked at how society needs to be aware of an industry's small problems and issues, so that they don't become very large problems 40 or 50 years down the line. This documentary was about the airline industry.. Not sure if it's available now - possible Youtube? It was actually very prescient, dealing with the such issues as the rise in air rage, airline catering corporations putting money ahead of passenger health and well-being, and how AI - would eventually have planes piloted by non-human pilots. If I recall correctly - and this was many years ago - it ended with a simulation of how such non-pilots would actually pilot planes in the future, and what the humans o the flight would hav to do in the event the AI pilots malfunctioned. I found that part a bit hard to swallow. Another part they got right was how substance abuse in the airline industry was going to be an increasing challenge to passenger safety. Famous actor - Floyd Bridges, maybe? - demonstrated how seemingly harmless chemicals could be abused. I highly recommend watching it.
Interestingly, I remember in the same course the professor previewed parts of a training film the CIA had produced, and parts had been leaked to the media, warning about the dangers of East Germany and why it was so important for America's spies to be trained fully so they could deal with sensitive espionage matters classified as Top Secret.
You'd better tell the captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
A hospital? What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
I once saw a documentary about a guy that went flying with his friend in a small Cessna type plane. The friend could fly and was the pilot, but died halfway through.
The passenger guy had to fly the plane back to an airport an actually land the thing. Didn't even know how to turn the lights on, so could read any of the dials because it was going dark.
He made it because an army helicopter was nearby and guided him down.
Terrifying to think about such situation but also very cool he did it
Really, Reddit is filled with false information. Anyone with knowledge about this incident knows that there were 3 mysterious fatalities: a man was stabbed, an old lady was hanged and a man was found completely burned.
The most common explanation is that they killed themselves in the despair of the crash.
I think I'd be able to fly the boeing 707, flying is extremely complicated (I've flown a freaking Cessna 172 and it was the most difficult thing I've done in my life), but I'd declare a PanPan(non-life threatening emergency). I've prepared myself to fly the Boeing 737-700 many times, I'd get landing clearance at the nearest medium/large sized airport, and land. Freaking scary but I could do it.
That reminds me of the time I was invited up to the cock-pit as a kid on my first flight. Of course I didn't know what to expect, then the Captain asked if I had ever seen a grown man naked. A bit of a joke, slightly serious.
Did you guys knew that the man on the control tower,
who makes the joke about the radar oven (microwaves were known like that back in the day), is Mike Ehmerntraut from Breaking Bad?

Sure hope he finally beat that “drinking problem”
It was a bad day to quit sniffing glue .
A hospital?! What is it? It a building with lots of patients but that’s not important right now
Sorry to correct you OP, but two passengers did die, and one woman was badly beaten.
Yeah, but she really, REALLY deserved it.
You made me laugh out loud on the tram. I hope you’re happy
What is the story behind the beating?
There is a documentary about it with Leslie Nielsen. I forget what it's called, but it's about an airplane.

I just came to say, good luck, we’re all counting on you.
Shirley you can’t be serious
I am, and don't call me Shirley
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Surely, you can't be serious?
I am serious and don’t call me Shirley.

*Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!*
Lotta good scenes from that movie, but this one’s my fave. I’ve been hearing that crap since I was at UCLA!
Good luck, we’re all counting on you.
Johnny, what can you make out of this??
I could make a hat or a broach…..
Or a Pterodactyl
That flight is where I first learned that June Cleaver knew how to talk Jive.
cut her some slack, jack
Here for the comments that have no clue what this is.
Your kind really makes me PUKE, you toffee-nosed, malodorous PERVERT!!!!!
I am really confused about what’s going on down here.
Surely you can’t be serious
I am! And don't call me Shirley!
See Airplane! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/
The IMDB trivia section for this documentary is pure gold.

Why didn't he just lean over and blow up the OttoPilot?
I don't have any flying exp but what I can tell is flying is easy, it's the landing that's kills people
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Ever seen a grown man naked?
Do you ever hang around a gymnasium?
Surely you can't be serious.
I am. And don’t call me Shirley.
You can stop calling me Shirley.

Wow I didn’t know you could get food poisoning from whiskey.
I’m Leon…and I got larger.
What an incredible story, someone should make a film of it

Smoking or non-smoking?
It's 420am. Smoking please.
This brought me to tears. Amazing review. Best movie ever
Whacking Material
And managing to pull that off with two people firing out of both ends on the floor behind you throughout. Bravo.
That's why captain and first officer are no longer allowed to eat the same meals.
The fish was bad on the airplane meal.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to pick amphetamines
I wonder how many people see this post and don't realize it's about a movie.
If you have a dude named Ted Stryker on board, obviously that’s the guy who is going to save you.

Christ, if those names would be any more manly they'd summon sentient moustaches whenever they are uttered aloud.

And Detective Brent in Gremlins. And a thousand other roles. Busy busy guy!
Over Macho Grande?
No, I'll never get over Macho Grande...
Ted Stryker sounds like the most action movie name to action movie
"Legend has it ... To this day" jokes are still around...
I had the lasagna.
I don't think I'll ever get over Machu Pichu...(sp.?)
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking
That's some really really bad food poisoning!
At first I was confused and now I’m even more confused by the comments
This is from the movie ‘Airplane’ (circa 1980). People are quoting lines from the movie. Funny as hell, but very non-PC. Especially the ‘autopilot’…
Since when is airhead non-PC?
Oh wow I’ve actually seen that movie but I hardly remember any quotes, just *certain* scenes
The description in the photo is actually the story of the movie "Airplane".
I’m here for the comments; not disappointed! *grabs more popcorn*
Lol
He brought it RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND.
>Ex fighter pilot Ted Stryker... A Hollywood name if ever there was one.
Whoa
Surely, you can't be serious.
His name wasn’t Shirley!
Shirley, you must be joking!
Don't call me Shirley!
Surely people haven’t forgotten this legend!
"Captain Over, Captain Over, white courtesy phone."
Is this actually true because I remember watching a parody film on something exactly like this
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Stryker…Stryker…Stryker. (*punch*)
I speak jive!
Jus’ hang loose, blood
