00:00Put yourself in this man's place.
00:17Aboard a transcontinental plane, suddenly half the passengers, including your own son,
00:21are struck by a paralyzing, deadly illness.
00:23And then in the midst of the panic and confusion,
00:26the stewardess tells you to come forward to the pilot's compartment.
00:29This is what you find.
00:31A pilotless plane running wild in a stormy sky.
00:36Can you fly this airplane and land it?
00:38No, not a chance.
00:40You're the only chance we've got.
00:42How could he fly a plane again after the horrible experience that had sapped his courage and ruined his life?
00:47But only he, among all the passengers, had any chance at all to save them,
00:52even though it was one in a thousand.
00:54This is Cross Canada Charter.
00:56Flight, flight 714, in distress.
01:00Come in, anyone.
01:01I want you to get on a horn and talk this guy down.

01:06And so, help me, you'll have to talk him right down to the ground.
01:08Captain, he's below 700 now, and he's still going down.
01:24Stranger, you can't come straight in.
01:26You've got enough fuel left for two hours flying.
01:28You've got to stay up there till we get a break in the weather.
01:31Listen, Trelevin, I'm coming in.
01:32Do you hear me?
01:33I'm coming in right now.
01:34In front of him, the bewildering array of instruments that blur before his frantic eyes.
01:43Beside him, the woman who had once loved him.
01:47And behind him, a plain load of frantic passengers.
01:51Ted, we're falling, Ted, we're falling.
01:53We're falling.
01:54The man is dead, the man.
