00:00Knew you'd come around.
00:05But...
00:07I have one request.
00:09Let's hear it.
00:11Assign me to 777-Echo-X. I'll handle their traffic for the rest of the flight.
00:15You want to take over their frequency?
00:20The power system's hanging by a thread.
00:22On this route, I'm the only one who's flown through extreme weather and made it out.
00:26I guide them around every trigger that can blow to the power system.
00:28They might still make it.
00:31Hard pass.
00:32Someone like him, one more second of his voice and I'm gonna be sick.
00:36Exactly.
00:37Why would we ever let some simp guide us in?
00:41Volunteering just to hear Scarla's voice? Gross.
00:44This route's weather is volatile.
00:47Without my guidance, you're not walking away from it.
00:52Oh my god! Your guidance! Who do you think you are?
00:55A rookie controller, not the captain!
00:58Stay in your lane!
00:59I've seen enough this kind of simp.
01:01They'll say anything just to feel important.
01:04Pathetic, litical creep. It's embarrassing.
01:07Hear that? You're not even on our radar.
01:12You think you're me or something? Ever looked in a mirror?
01:15Let it go, Ethan.
01:17Nobody's worth putting yourself through this humiliation.
01:24I'll ask one last time.
01:26You're sure you don't want my guidance?
01:28Are you deaf?
01:29How many times do we have to say it?
01:30We don't need you.
01:31Can you just back off?
01:32I, Scarlet Monroe, would rather die on this planet than waste another word on a man like you.
01:46Understood. Then your arrogance will cost you your life at 30,000 feet.
01:52Move out of my way.
01:54Captain Monroe?
01:56I'll assign another controller to guide you in right now.
01:59You, get back there.
02:00Yes, sir.
02:01Wait. I don't want any guy.
02:03That creep's voice already made my skin crawl.
02:06Exactly.
02:07Every male voice right now makes me want to puke.
02:09Give us a female controller.
02:11A female controller?
02:14Whoa!
02:14Good.
02:16Emily Carter stepping up at a critical moment.
02:18Love the initiative.
02:19You're up. Don't blow it up.
02:20What? Me?
02:22Mr. Collins, I've never guided a flight solo before.
02:24I can't!
02:26Don't panic.
02:27I'll be right here backing you up.
02:29You?
02:30You're the new guy.
02:31You're the one who needs backup.
02:34Tower Tower, 777UOX, requesting guidance.
02:46Tower copies.
02:48777UOX, you're cleared to climb to 26,000 feet.
02:50Maintain that altitude after level off.
02:52Captain, we're cleared to climb to 26,000.
02:55Cleared to climb to 26,000.
02:57Maintain.
03:03Turn right 30 degrees.
03:05Are you serious?
03:06The route's fixed, we can't just change it.
03:08And the weather along the original path looks perfect.
03:10No storms, no surprises.
03:11Why deviate?
03:12Trust me.
03:13Turn 30 degrees right now.
03:14But...
03:14If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility.
03:19Tower, 777UOX, requesting to maintain present heading and altitude and continue on course.
03:28Tower, anyone?
03:30777UOX, requesting to maintain present heading and altitude and continue on course.
03:43777UOX, turn right 30 degrees.
03:45New heading 085.
03:48Tower, weather ahead is clear with no visible risk factors.
03:53Confirm, 777UOX needs to deviate.
03:59Confirmed.
04:00Turn right 30 degrees now.
04:01Fly the new heading 085.
04:03Copy.
04:04Turning right 30 degrees.
04:05New heading 085.
04:08She actually gave that order.
04:11If anything goes wrong.
04:1330 degree deviation?
04:15Never even heard of that.
04:16When this plane lands, I can't wait to hear how they explain that to the board.
04:21Issuing a deviation like that without clearance.
04:24If anything happens, we're both finished.
04:26You know that, right?
04:29Look.
04:30We're finished?
04:32What do you think that is?
04:38Scarlet!
04:39Look!
04:40What's that?
04:45What the hell?
04:46The sky was clear a minute ago.
04:47How did an entire storm cell just form there?
04:49That's right where our original route was.
04:51If we hadn't changed course, we'd be flying straight into those lightning strikes.
04:55Didn't think that Emily girl actually had some skills.
04:59How...
04:59How did you know a storm cell would form here?
05:02Experience.
05:03From here on out, do exactly what I say.
05:11777 Echo X, descend to 16,000 feet.
05:14Copy.
05:15Descending to 16,000.
05:17Left turn 15 degrees.
05:19Maintain altitude.
05:22Copy.
05:43Good.
05:45We dodged every danger point.
05:47Under 100 kilometers left.
05:49All that's left is a clean descent and a smooth cruise in.
05:5120 minutes in their home.
05:53Tower.
05:53777 Echo X, descend to 16,000 feet.
06:00Tower.
06:01Tower.
06:02777 Echo X, requesting to climb in 5 seconds.
06:08Tower's not responding.
06:10777 Echo X will begin climb in 5 seconds.
06:135...
06:144...
06:153...
06:162...
06:16to do not climb you again your power system's already on the brink above 13 000 feet the wind
06:25load will snap the wing and take the whole system down with it you need to descend now oh i
06:30get it
06:30you've been eavesdropping on us this whole time huh what a creepy little loser i don't have time
06:39to explain drop altitude now or all 300 people on that plane are dead
06:45had enough of your bullshit yet you think acting like this is going to get my attention
06:50you are never in my league triple seven echo x begin to climb
06:57no
07:02didn't you say something terrible was going to happen looks pretty fine to me
07:07as has lost it got lucky once and suddenly he thinks he's in a position to lecture a captain
07:11with zero years zero turn back zero incidents he's just pissed she turned him down so now
07:15he's cursing her flight
07:30warning warning power system offline left wing failure what what's happening
07:38how's this even possible
07:45mayday
07:46mayday
07:54we're going down
07:56oh god please
08:05lax tower lax tower triple seven echo x mayday mayday go ahead triple seven echo x
08:10dual engine failure total loss of power altitude 26 000 feet and dropping repeat dual engine failure
08:17total loss of power
08:20triple seven echo x lax copies mayday acknowledged report your position and intentions we're about
08:28fifty miles southwest of santa monica bay heading 085 attempting an engine restart hydraulic pressures
08:34dropping we may not be able to hold altitude looking for a place to put her down triple seven echo
08:40x lax copies
08:43nearest usable runway is
08:46long beach airport 3s6 right about 55 miles from me do you require guidance
08:54engine restart's a no-go
08:56engine restart failed power systems unstable we'll never make it to long beach what what the hell's going on
09:04both engines are dead at this point even a miracle won't save them
09:11what the hell happened
09:15mr collins triple seven x's wing is damaged both engines are out they're dropping fast
09:21what what are we supposed to do now anyone got a plan
09:29say something
09:32this route their odds of landing in one piece are maybe 0.1 percent
09:37that's it then skyline air's 20-year accident free streak
09:41it ends today
09:44what there are over 300 lives on that plane and compensation in the billions don't tell me there's
09:50really nothing we can do mr collins i have a pitch
09:53spit it out ethan spotted the wing issue before anyone else and he just guided triple seven echo x around
09:58that storm that came out of nowhere
10:01if anyone can talk them down in one piece it's him
10:04right ethan
10:10sorry
10:11i can't help them
10:12then shut up and stop wasting everyone's time
10:15ethan blake
10:16i can tell you're not just some random controller
10:19emily what's that supposed to mean
10:20i just ran through it in my head with triple seven echo x's wing this damage they should have dropped
10:25out of the sky already
10:28it's ethan who used his own judgment to steer them around every single thing that could have killed them
10:34we're still falling
10:36lord if i walk away from this i swear i'll be in church every sunday
10:39god

10:54if we don't make it
10:55at least my family will know i love them
10:57emily what the hell do you mean
10:59he just ran the wind pressure even magnetic changes in his head and he was dead on
11:03you don't get that kind of read or reaction time without decades in a cockpit or on the sharp end
11:08of navigation
11:08ethan blake
11:09you have to have a way
11:13you can't convince someone who refuses to listen
11:15i warned them not to climb
11:16now the situation is beyond the options i had left
11:19they put themselves and those 300 people into a crisis that's impossible to recover from
11:22for lax tower triple seven echo x
11:2513 000 feet and dropping fast
11:28ethan
11:29enough
11:29if this loser was half as good as you say
11:32he wouldn't be stuck here as a nobody in atc
11:36get aviation control on the line

12:36copy
12:36twenty miles southeast
12:37there's a flat plane
12:38trident flats
12:39terrain smooth enough for an emergency landing
12:41no way
12:41the left wing's on the verge of snapping
12:42any extra stress and it goes
12:44and when it goes
12:45this whole plane goes with it
12:46relax
12:47at this level of damage
12:48as long as you control the descent angle
12:50and keep the wings curved
12:51lined up with the wind
12:51it won't snap
12:52the kind of precision that takes is insane
12:54no one can actually fly that
12:57warning
12:58warning
12:5910 feet above ground

13:24how's he supposed to fly it
13:25ads
13:28ads
13:28what's that
13:30an airborne remote control system
13:32you hook into the plane through a satellite link
13:34and take over from the ground
13:36brand new tech
13:37there may be five planes in the world with it
13:39and triple seven echo x
13:41just happens to be one of them
13:42how does he know all this
13:44who's he really
13:45didn't think a little controller like you even knew about ads

14:34engine restart successful
14:40engines are back
14:47asymmetrical thrust
14:48trim adjustments switching to backup pumps
