00:00Warning. Cabin depressuration.
00:03Captain Cole, the wind shove down the hole!
00:07Help me!
00:23Autopilot offline. Hydraulic pressure dropping.
00:26Communication system failure.
00:27Less than two miles wide. Altitude's too low. We can't get around it.
00:33Then we go through it.
00:45Sterling 217 is safely on the ground.
00:47Captain Ethan Cole has saved all 286 people aboard
00:51after a catastrophic windshield failure and total hydraulic loss.
00:55An absolute aviation miracle.
01:09Mr. Whitmore, which important guest are we waiting for today?
01:13Not a board member.
01:14Is it a senior board member from headquarters?
01:16Or a government inspection official?
01:18Neither of them.
01:20The person we're waiting for is a new entry-level aircraft dispatcher.
01:25First day on the job.
01:26An ordinary dispatcher?
01:28Worth your personal reception and the entire senior team waiting?
01:39Ethan Cole.
01:40That's the captain from the Miracle Flight 217?
01:45Welcome back to Arcland Airways.
01:47Overseas carriers offered you seven figures.
01:50Private aviation groups wanted you as chief pilot.
01:53You turned them all down.
01:54And now you're walking into operations control as an entry-level dispatcher?
01:58I've spent enough time in the sky.
02:02I want to see how ground crews decide if the flight gets to fly or gets grounded.
02:07I'll take you to operations control myself.
02:09No need.
02:12Don't scratch it.
02:18Don't scratch it.
02:20First day?
02:21Yeah.
02:21What'd you do before this?
02:23Flew for a few years.
02:24What?
02:25Tiny private planes?
02:28Arcloon Airlines' youngest flagship captains.
02:30Set to fly Arcloon 892's inaugural flight.
02:33Got anything to say to your followers?
02:35Same as always.
02:36A perfect flight.
02:38Hey, you blind or something?
02:41She walked into me.
02:42Do you even know who she is?
02:43No?
02:44You're the new dispatcher?
02:46Is that a problem?
02:47My flight pushes in 20 minutes.
02:48I don't have time for amateur mistakes.
02:51Pick it up.
02:52Isn't that Madison Reed, Sterling Air's celebrity captain?
02:55She's the CEO's favorite.
02:56This new guy picked the wrong woman to cross on day one.
02:59Let me get this straight.
03:00You ran into me, and now you want me to clean up your mess?
03:03I'm not wasting time arguing.
03:05Are you picking it up or not?
03:06No.
03:08I've seen this little attention stunt 100 times.
03:11What the hell are you talking about?
03:12Don't play dumb.
03:14Everyone here knows who I am.
03:16Men line up just to get my attention.
03:18You blocked my path, then acted like you couldn't care less.
03:21You wanted me to remember you.
03:23Congratulations.
03:24There it is.
03:25Another fanboy trying way too hard to get Captain Reed's attention.
03:30Guys keep finding new ways to embarrass themselves.
03:33You're a rookie disvalider.
03:35Don't mistake me speaking to you for you having a chance.
03:37I wouldn't touch a man like you if you were the last one in this airport.
03:40Do you always assume the world revolves around you?
03:43I've met women prettier than you, smarter than you, and a lot less exhausted.
03:46You really think every man here is desperate to chase you?
03:49No way.
03:50I've never seen anyone shut Captain Reed down like that.
03:53Don't flatter yourself.
03:55Insulting me isn't going to make me remember you.
03:58Pick it up now or I call Charles Whitmore and have security walk you out before lunch.
04:02Go ahead, call him.
04:04I'd love to see whether Charles fires me or you.
04:07Your choice.
04:07Don't say I didn't warn you.
04:09He's on probation.
04:10Where does he get the nerve to go at Captain Reed like that?
04:12He's done.
04:13First day.
04:13He may not make it to lunch.
04:19I'm so sorry.
04:20It's his first day and he clearly doesn't understand how things work around here.
04:24Please don't waste your time on a rookie.
04:26My flight's about to push.
04:27I don't have time for this.
04:28I'll make sure he understands his place and that whatever fantasy he's having ends here.
04:33If better.
04:34Next time I won't stop at one phone call.
04:37Is that confidence?
04:38Or do you just avoid mirrors?
04:40You're nowhere near her league.
04:41Stop humiliating yourself.
04:44Do you actually want to keep this job?
04:47I'm Maya Torres, Operations Control.
04:49Greg assigned me to get you oriented.
04:51Captain Reed's good at what she does.
04:53She's gorgeous.
04:54And half the airport wants her number.
04:55So here's some friendly advice.
04:58Let it go.
04:59You two don't live in the same world.
05:01I'm not interested in her.
05:02Last month she was at a restaurant and some guy was scrolling on his phone with the camera pointed her
05:06way.
05:07She decided he was filming her and had airport police haul him out.
05:10She really does think she's the center of the universe.
05:13The new guy really just said Captain Reed isn't special?
05:16Classic.
05:17Gets rejected then pretends he never wanted her.
05:19Bruised male ego.
05:21Every time.
05:22This is the tower's main control floor.
05:23We monitor traffic and issue instructions to flight crews from here.
05:27That's SA-892.
05:29Captain Reed's flight.
05:30They're about to depart.
05:31SA-892, continue as planned and prepare for departure.
05:35That vibration pattern's wrong.
05:36Something's wrong with the right wing.
05:38SA-892 aboard the takeoff sequence immediately.
05:42What are you doing?
05:43What the hell is going on?
05:45Who's disrupting my floor?
05:46You're the supervisor.
05:47Did our clean 8-9-2 complete its pre-flight inspection?
05:50I need the inspection report and maintenance release.
05:53Aircraft inspections are maintenance and flight crew business.
05:56You're on day one.
05:57What makes you think you get to audit?
05:59Maya, this is the rookie you were assigned?
06:01Did you explain our procedures or not?
06:04I'm sorry, Greg.
06:04Both of you.
06:05Back to your stations.
06:06Now.
06:07One more stunt and you're both out of a job.
06:12Are you insane?
06:13You almost got me fired with you.
06:15Do you have Madison Reed's contact information?
06:18I knew it.
06:19Two minutes ago you weren't interested.
06:21Now you want her number?
06:22This isn't personal.
06:23It's about flight safety.
06:25Send it to me now.
06:27Fine, fine.
06:29I'm sending it.
06:30I'm the dispatcher from the terminal.
06:32Accept this now.
06:33There's an urgent safety issue with your flight.
06:35You're serious?
06:36This really is about the aircraft?
06:38Why is everyone staring at me?
06:40You should check the company group chat.
06:46Who is stupid enough to keep harassing Captain Reed?
06:49Pretty sure it's the new guy in our department.
06:52A rookie desk joppy really thought he had a shot with a celebrity captain?
06:56Somebody needs to telehome what league he's in.
07:01I answered your call.
07:02That does not mean you have a chance with me.
07:04Last warning.
07:05Stay away from me outside of work and stop contacting me privately.
07:08Relax.
07:09I have absolutely no interest in you.
07:11You get Madison's number and suddenly you're playing hard to get?
07:14Come on.
07:15That move is ancient.
07:16I called about the aircraft.
07:18Inspect the right wing and the engine mount immediately.
07:21There may be structural damage.
07:24You made up a wing failure just to keep her on the phone?
07:26That's desperate.
07:27The aircraft passed every required inspection before push-aff.
07:31If there were a real problem, maintenance would have reported it.
07:35You're a brand new dispatcher.
07:37Who are you to second-west an entire maintenance crew?
07:41Check it again.
07:42Then you'll know whether I'm bluffing.
07:44Arc Line 892, runway 36L, expect departure in five minutes.
07:49Arc Line 892, copy.
07:51We're about to depart.
07:52We don't have time for your little performance.
07:54Then hear this clearly.
07:56That aircraft cannot take off.
07:58Goodbye.
08:01He seriously won't stop.
08:04Pathetic.
08:05Arc Line 892, taxiing to runway 36L.
08:11Arc Line 892, cleared to enter runway 36L.
08:14Surface wind 030.
08:16Arc Line 892, copy.
08:17Entering the runway.
08:20Arc Line 892, runway 36L.
08:23Contact 126.55 and prepare for departure.
08:26Arc Line 892, copy.
08:27Ready for departure.
08:32Ethan, what are you doing?
08:34Why is it you again?
08:35Arc Line 892.
08:36Are you ever going to stop?
08:38Whatever obsession you have with me off-duty is your problem.
08:41But you do not get to use 300 passengers as props in some pathetic attempt to chase me.
08:46I'm not chasing you.
08:47I'm trying to stop a crash.
08:48Tower dispatcher 223, Ethan Cole.
08:50Arc Line 892, abort takeoff immediately.
08:52I am the pilot in command of Arc Line 892.
08:54All aircraft systems check clean.
08:56No abnormal readings on my end.
08:57And I am taking this aircraft out on schedule.
09:05Tower to ground crew, shut down runway 36L.
09:08Put up barriers and stop SA-899.
09:13Madison, ground crews are putting barriers on 36...
09:16Call Greg.
09:17Now.
09:17Copy.
09:19Ground crew, remove every barrier from runway 36L and clear SA-899 for departure.
09:25Who gave that order?
09:26I did.
09:27SA-889 cannot take off.
09:30Enough!
09:31You're a first aid probationary employee trying to ground our flagship flight on a hunch with zero evidence.
09:35Cancel this flight and the company loses millions.
09:37Are you prepared to answer for-
09:39There are more than 300 lives on that aircraft.
09:41If anything happens, put every ounce of responsibility on me.
09:44Get him away from the console.
09:47Runway 36L is clear. SA-892 may proceed with departure.
09:52SA-892, do not take off!
09:54Is this little show finally over?
09:56You think making a bigger scene will make me notice you?
09:59You and I don't even exist in the same world.
10:02I fly the aircraft.
10:03You sit on the ground staring at a screen.
10:06Know your place.
10:08SA-892, bye!
10:13No!
10:18No!
10:19Captain Cole!
10:19What the hell was that?
10:20SA-892, stop climbing and return to the airport immediately.
10:24Madison.
10:24No, I've flown thousands of legs.
10:26I have never turned back or made an emergency landing.
10:29And I'm not starting today.
10:32Automatic fire suppression activated.
10:34The fire's out.
10:35The system says the power plane is stable.
10:37Captain Reed has flown thousands of lebs.
10:40And a rookie on his first day thinks he gets to teach her how to fly?
10:43SA-892, stop climbing and return to the airport immediately.
10:47The live data still shows a severe power imbalance.
10:50Keep flying and that engine could detonate again or tear the aircraft apart.
10:54Turn back now and you still have a chance.
10:56Can you even read an instrument panel?
10:58Every system is green.
11:00Show me this so-called imbalance.
11:03Madison rejects you so now you're fantasizing about us crashing?
11:06That's not concern.
11:07That's pathetic.
11:09This flight is reaching its destination and I am landing it safely.
11:13Now shut up and stay off my frequency.
11:16Captain Reed has made herself perfectly clear.
11:18You're a dispatcher.
11:20Have you ever actually flown an airliner?
11:22What makes you think your experience belongs in the same sentence as hers?
11:26Then let me make myself perfectly clear, Greg.
11:28Keep using your title to override the correct safety call.
11:31And when this goes bad, no one in this building can carry the consequences.
11:34Some people would rather die than admit they're wrong.
11:37But there are more than 300 innocent people trapped on that plane with her.
11:42There has to be another way.
11:47Greg, I was wrong.
11:48SA-892's systems are completely normal.
11:51I support continuing the flight.
11:53What are you trying to pull now?
11:54You still looking for a way to interfere with this flight?
11:58See?
11:59Life gets easier when you learn your place.
12:01I have one request.
12:03Put me in charge of SA-892's operational guidance for the rest of the flight.
12:07The power system is right at the edge of failure.
12:10This route is new, but I've flown it successfully before.
12:13If they follow my instructions and avoid anything that adds load to the damaged system,
12:17they may still reach the airport alive.
12:18No.
12:19That man's voice makes my skin crawl.
12:22I will not let some workplace stalker use my flight as an excuse to get closer to me.
12:26That's all this is, another way for him to keep forcing himself into my space.
12:30This route is extremely dangerous right now.
12:32Without the right guidance, you won't live long enough to reach the destination.
12:36Who the hell do you think you are?
12:38You're a rookie sitting behind a desk, pretending you're a captain.
12:41You'll say anything if it keeps you connected to me.
12:43It's disgusting.
12:44I'm asking one last time.
12:46Stay off my frequency.
12:47Are you refusing to let me guide SA-892?
12:50I refuse to follow critical flight guides from someone who spent our holes desks fixating on provoking me.
12:54I'll rely on my own board readings to manage this aircraft.
12:59Fine.
13:01Remember you said that.
13:03Captain Reed, I'll assign another controller to guide you.
13:06I promise Ethan Cole will not touch this flight again.
13:09Wait.
13:10I don't want a man.
13:11That stalker already made me sick enough.
13:12I don't want to hear another male voice in my headset.
13:15Give me a woman.
13:15Maya, you're up.
13:17Me?
13:17I've never handled a situation like this on my own.
13:20I'll stand beside you and tell you exactly what to do.
13:22It's your first day and now you're going to teach me my job?
13:35Are you sure?
13:37We can't reroute a flight for no reason.
13:39Weather ahead is clear.
13:40There's nothing on radar.
13:41Do it.
13:42Right 30.
13:43Heading 085.
13:44If this goes wrong, put it on me.
13:47Arcaline 892.
13:48Report present heading in altitude.
13:49Arcaline 892.
13:50Copy.
13:51The weather ahead is clear.
13:52Radar shows no threat.
13:53Arcaline 892.
13:54Turn right 30 degrees.
13:55Fly heading 085.
13:56Arcaline 892.
13:57Copy.
13:57Right turn.
13:58Heading 085.
14:01You just changed their route without authorization.
14:03Maintain heading 085.
14:04If anything happens, both our careers are over.
14:07Then look again.
14:10Madison, look!
14:13What is that?
14:14There was nothing on radar a few minutes ago.
14:16It's sitting right across our original route.
14:18If we hadn't turned, we'd be inside the heart of that cell right now.
14:21He didn't even flag it.
14:22How did he know it was forming?
14:24From this point on, follow my instructions exactly.
14:27Arcaline 892.
14:28Send to one 6,000 feet.
14:32Left 15 degrees.
14:33Skirt the edge of the storm.
14:38They're less than 60 miles from the airport.
14:41Keep them low and stable, and they can be on the ground in 20 minutes.
14:46Tower, Kerber 2.
14:47Arcaline 892 request climb in 10 seconds.
14:51Tower, no response from Tower.
14:53Arcaline 892 will begin an independent climb in 5 seconds.
14:57Do not climb!
15:00Your power system is seconds from failing.
15:02Why are you back on my frequency?
15:04If you climb drag and engine load increase, the damage structure will not hold.
15:08Descend now and stay below your current altitude!
15:11You're still sitting there listening to our channel?
15:13Wow.
15:14That's almost touching.
15:15This is not a joke!
15:17There are over 300 people on that aircraft.
15:20Stop the climb now!
15:21How long are you going to keep up this act?
15:23You think inventing one crisis after another is going to make me notice you?
15:26Through your head.
15:27Nothing you do will ever make me want you.
15:30Arcaline 892 beginning climb.
15:32See?
15:33The aircraft is perfectly stable.
15:35Nothing happened.
15:36Looks like our self-appointed expert was wrong again.
15:38What just happened?
15:42Mayday!
15:43Mayday!
15:45Mayday!
15:46Mayday!
15:47Mayday!
16:00Mayday!
16:02czym Acknowledged!
16:04We have total power lost!
16:06Date your position, heading and
16:08intention. We're 50 miles South West
16:10of the Chi IV. Hayden 085, attempting
16:12an engine restart. Arcline 892 copied.
16:16Hydraulic pressure is dropping fast.
16:17We can't hold altitude and we're
16:18looking for an emergency landing site. Nearest available runway is Redstone Regional
16:22Runway 36 Right, 55 miles.
16:24restart failed neither engine is responding engine restart unsuccessful electrical power
16:29is unstable at this rate of descent we may not make redstone what the hell happened both engines
16:34are gone at this altitude and descent rate no one can save them stop standing there what do we do
16:39if anyone has a plan say it now the left wing has sustained catastrophic damage based on the
16:44current numbers their chance of landing is under one-tenth of one percent our glune airlines has
16:47gone ten years without a fatal major accident that record ends today there are over 300 passengers
16:53aboard and the liability will be astronomical is there really nothing we can do
17:01there may be one person who can ethan cole he spotted the wing problem before takeoff
17:07then predicted the storm before radar saw it and guided arculin 892 around the worst of the cell
17:12if anyone in this room can put that aircraft on the ground it's him i'm sorry i can't help them
17:19ethan you are not an ordinary dispatcher what makes you say that i went back through every
17:24piece of flight data you didn't reroute them after you saw the storm you moved them before it formed
17:28wind speed pressure temperature airflow everything shifted at once and even the system missed it
17:34no one without elite flight experience could have read that you know how to save them i know you do
17:39i
17:39warned them before takeoff that the aircraft was unsafe when the engine caught fire i ordered them back
17:44they refused then i told them clearly not to climb they ignored that too you can't save someone who
17:50is determined to ignore every warning trinity tower arcline 892 is at 13 000 feet we're still
17:56descending back he's really as good as you say why is he here as a first day dispatcher
18:00call air traffic control command now get every senior flight expert you can find in here
18:09captain hayes is here
18:12might actually have a chance now captain hayes has more than a decade in the cockpit more
18:17experience than captain reed and everyone knows those two are more than just colleagues
18:20their arc loon airlines is golden pair if anyone can bring her down it's him clear the way move
18:25madison can you hear me are you hurt ryan thank god you're here stay calm give me the aircraft
18:31status everything severe damage to the left wing both engine restarts failed we can't hold altitude
18:35we're descending fast dry creek flats is 20 miles southeast the terrain is level enough for an
18:39emergency landing the left wing is right at structural's break one hard turn one pocket of
18:44turbulence one bad lust and that wing comes off on approach you have to keep the wings angle aligned
18:48with the wind and take as much load off the left side as possible that requires a perfect angle all
18:53the way down with the aircraft in this condition that's impossible warning warning 10 000 feet
18:59above ground medicine we're out of time we have to commit now ryan i can't hold it i can't do
19:08this
19:08listen to me from this moment on i fly the aircraft through you your hands move only when i tell
19:14them
19:17how is he supposed to fly it from here arcs arclean's remote command suite it uses an encrypted
19:23satellite link to access the aircraft's flight controls remotely it's still under testing and
19:28less than five planes in service have this system installed and flight 892 happens to be one of them
19:34how does he even know that who the hell is ethan not bad for a first day dispatcher you actually
19:41know
19:41what arcs is watch carefully i will demonstrate its intended function where's the arx console
19:46captain hayes right this way
19:54arx remote command authorization requested it's ryan he's here to save us remote command access granted
20:08why is he killing cabin power he's dumping every spare amp into the restart sequence we've got ignition
20:19split the thrust bring the backup hydraulic pump online
20:24hydraulic pressure is coming back hayes pulled the plane back from disaster
20:33that's what experience looks like
20:37madison i've got you i'm bringing you home ryan thank goodness you're here
20:47thank god ryan got here maybe they actually have a chance now
20:56no excessive climb rate at this rate that plane goes down in under two minutes
21:04ethan what are you going on about this time the aircraft has power and it's stable
21:10ryan has this under control oh i get it now madison turned you down and ryan fixed the crisis publicly
21:17you're just bitter and jealous so now you're standing here praying he fails wait he's the guy
21:24madison called out in the company chat the guy who wouldn't leave her alone
21:28i barely know him he has been pestering me on his own initiative all along
21:33i can back that up madison never gave him a single reason to think he had a chance

24:08what occurred just now how is the plane still airborne the crosswind through the valley
24:13he actively banks against gus leveraging right wing wind pressure to offset the left wings lift
24:16deficit temporarily
24:29he actually pulled that thing away from the mountain a new dispatcher couldn't possibly master such flying
24:34techniques
