SPOILER ALERT: In this movie, which aired on NBC twenty years ago, you see a plane taking off from Logan Airport in Boston. The plane then explodes. As a 16 year old kid who had never flown before, the simulated explosion of a jet was terrifying. I have no idea how the makers of this movie simulated it. To this day, I think of that scene whenever I'm on an airplane.
Sadly, since 9/11, this movie will probably never be shown again on American television. I have not seen it on TV since about 1988. It's too bad, because it was well done and is eerily preminiscent of the time and place we live in today.
