This is a great movie! But there is some problems with this part of the movie. The plane is in the bermuda triangle they said they will be landing on St George Island in 20 minutes. That is not possible the island is 400 miles away in the Florida panhandle. Also the tip of the wing hit the oil rig. That should have not caused an engine fire and brought down the plane. The 747 can fly on as little as two engines without problems. I understand this is just a movie so everything can't be perfect.
So I guess the drilling rig was unmanned because obviously if a 747 hit it, they would have called, oh I don't know, the Coast Guard or someone? The original Airport stands the test of time. All the sequels were a waste of film.
i would give ANYTHING to look like the lee grant character in the movie - her short hairstyle looked ABSOLUTELY FABOULOUS with her black dress with the sheer sleeves!
The guy at 6.43 should have known better. One of the natural laws of cinema is that if a room is filling up with water the chances of being trapped under a heavy object are dramatically increased.
The is a problem with the movie. When the engine catches on fire, in real life, the pilot would use the engine fire extingisher which would automatically shut the fuel supply off to that engine and automatically shut that engine down so it wouldn't ignite again, but of course it does because it's a movie.
I Luv This Movie SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much
well at least the water landing put that pesky engine fire out for good. Stupid pilot all he needed to do was advance power on the 3 good engines and get 100ft of altitude or so, then handle the emergency with the engine fire.
5:33 the water would pull the plane in the water because the water kinda eats the weight of the aircraft... specially when the wing contacts the water in the ocean it would just flip over the plane... im not talking about the triangle im talking about every where in the water.... -.- thumbs up if you agree
5:35 the water would pull the whole plane in the water because as soon as a plane has contact with ocean it cant come back up.... the water kinda eats the weight of the aircraft, specially when the wing touches the water....... -.-

AEROPUERTO 77- ESTA ES LA MEJOR ESCENA A MI PARECER DE UN ACCIDENTE AEREO EN EL CINE..QUE COOL UN GRAN BOENIG 747 LLENDOSE A PIQUE AL MAR Y SUMERGIENDO CON TODO Y PASAJEROS LO MAXIMO
The engine Fire alarm, was this the real warning bell used in the early 747's?, i know the Too low warning buzzer was actually the real autopilot disconnect alarm from the early 747's
whatever - takes me back me Saturday Matinee as a teen, just love it - along with the whole canon of disaster movies up to, and including The Hindenburg. I travelled all over to see them in 70mm or Sensurround, ace. Big love in my heart too for Bad News Bears, Race With The Devil, Family Plot, Duel, The Car and many more. A great movie era, schlock or otherwise. And no CGI - whoo! Coma, Laura Mars, Alien, Wiz, TGIF, too for sheer imagination and creativity. 3 days of the Condor et al 4 ideas
dude, effin'g Chelsy Sullenburger re-set the bar for ALL commercial airline pilots. This crash in his eyes I am quite sure would be deemed totally unacceptable! :)
WOW !! Jack Lemmon looks HOT with a mustache ! I heard that Lee Grant did not want Edith Head to design her costume , Glad Lee drowned ,she was a wretch.
it was a classified flying boat 747 which was designed to smuggle supplies to submarines but they cancelled it because it leaked and sold the prototype to a charter airline.
that is fucking hilarious and unrealistic for a 747 plane to have furniture like that so when it crashes all of it can fly and hit someone in the face. You wont find that now. Everything is bolted to the floor
THIS WAS A TRULY BAD FLIC, he said they were going 600 mph. and when he hit the tower it looked like they were going 20 mph!!!! LOL, and plus if you are going that fast, the plane would be completely destroyed, IE AIR FRANCE FLIGHT JUST RECENT. Hitting water at 500 plus is like hitting CONCRETE!!!
Tough??? It was a 747 that crashed with only one engine out of four out....explain why a '57 Piper Apache can fly with one engine out while a 747 crashes with three going, one out.
Technically a 747 can indeed fly even if they had to shut down Engine 4. just stating how unrealistic the movie was. heck even Iron Eagle was unlikely, but they were both fun movies. movies of this era are more fun the more fake they were.
who cares if it's implausible? it's a great concept - a great problem in a movie - this is the stuff of conflict and despair. GREAT IDEA and beautifully realized.
Yeah, except the plane plane that landed in the hudson, landed gently, while this one slammed into the water multiple times at high speeds, shearing off its engines and bending the wings. its totally different.
i was jst annoyed that they used stock footage from 75. but it's cool. after all, they rented a plane for the previous one for the aerial shots and i've seen the stock footage in several movies. I surmise that it's like singers sampling other songs: good in context and if done right. This film was done right!
Something interesting to note. I believe this film is a Universal production. If you listen to the sound effects in this scene almost all of them have been used on the Six Million Dollar Man. Very obviously re-used by the sound guy.
Sure!! in a slow controlled descent!! For sure. Even Boeing says to pilots that if they follow controlled procedure the plane should stay in one piece (On the news today!!). But AP 77 has the plane coming in from cruising speed in complete chaos. And sinking to the bottom while it is full of air defies the laws of physics. If it sank it would have to equalize the pressure and fill with water.
This crash sequence is beyond a joke. And Shows to go ya what little movie makers knew about the physics involved in a plane crash. The wing tip would have been ripped off. And the plane entirely demolished on impact with the water. Water by the way, is 5 times more dense than air. For all intents and purposes hitting a brick wall would be softer.
I agree with this. Even though it is an interesting plot, it is not scientifically accurate. Any aircraft could not survive impact with water because of the density. But, if it did survive, it would not sink as dipicted because oxygen is less dense than water and the 747 is a giant oxygen bubble. The plane should stay afloat until one of the doors is opened to release the oxygen, which didn't happen when the passengers were rescued.
I gues you guys are WRONG !!!!!!! That AWESOME pilot SUCCESSFULLY lande an Airbus A320 in the HUDSON river !!!!!!! It didnt break apart and it didnt sink !!!!!!!
...and wait a damn minute if that 747 is flying 600, when it hit the oil rig, why was it fly SLOW then. AND look at them bad visuals. THIS MOVIE TRULY SUCKED HARD!!!
The visuals on this movie are absolutely incredible. The late great Albert Whitlock was responsible for much of the visuals. Compare this movie to "AIRFORCE ONE" and this film is much more realistic looking and believable.
When I look back at this, the very tip tip of the wing hits the oil rig, yet somehow the engine is affected and the plane goes out of control. Hmm. Just seems kind of odd.
so unrealistic...if only planes were this strong...In real life a place would desintegrate in pieces upon impact and the passengers would be dead instantly.
Very deeply I love such old Airplane Catastrophic-Movies. Espectially this one "Airport 77" is my most favourite one. Have seen this movie hundreds of times ago. In the German Language. Thanks for sharing!!
Wish it was a few seconds earlier to show air traffic's PPI indication of the advancing plane. You see the plane number and a vector then after the next sweep it vanishes.
Most clips have started with the oil derrick, so this is better.

When I look back at this, the very tip tip of the wing hits the oil rig, yet somehow the engine is affected and the plane goes out of control. Hmm. Just seems kind of odd.

so unrealistic...if only planes were this strong...In real life a place would desintegrate in pieces upon impact and the passengers would be dead instantly.

Very deeply I love such old Airplane Catastrophic-Movies. Espectially this one "Airport 77" is my most favourite one. Have seen this movie hundreds of times ago. In the German Language. Thanks for sharing!!

Omfg theyre screaming , they should be calm ad dont panic that much so they actually could think about getting out of the plane ...

Robert Foxworth, the guy who plays the co-pilot hijacker, also voiced Ratchet in the Transformers film, just read that from the ending credits.

Wish it was a few seconds earlier to show air traffic's PPI indication of the advancing plane. You see the plane number and a vector then after the next sweep it vanishes.
Most clips have started with the oil derrick, so this is better.
