Everyone got on the plane alright in the end, and Rainbow dash got the WINDOW seat. She loves seeing the clouds after all.
I asked Rainbow, "So what do you see out there RD?"
RD said, "Delta Airlines."
My reply was, "Yep."
The plain left the ground & during the flight, the stewards & stewardesses served us food that is normally served on airlines including Boeing, which is the airline were riding on. The plane type, the 787 Dreamliner. We watched the movies that the pilots played for us.
1.Non-Stop
Starring: Liam Neeson
Distributor: Universal Pictures, Silver Pictures, & StudioCanal
MPAA rating: PG-13
Plot: Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) was an alcoholic U.S. Air Marshal; he enrolled in the Air Marshal Service after he was discharged from the New York City Police Department. On a Boeing 767 non-stop flight from New York to London aboard British Aqualantic Flight 10, midway over the Atlantic Ocean, Marks received text messages on his secure phone stating that someone on the plane will die every 20 minutes unless $150 million is transferred into a specific BANK ACCOUNT.
Breaking protocol, Marks consulted with Jack Hammond, the other Air Marshal on the flight. Hammond was revealed to be smuggling cocaine in a briefcase. Marks confronted Hammond and the two get into an argument that resulted in an altercation. Marks ended up killing Hammond during the fight in a lavatory, justifying it as self-defense. This occured exactly at the 20 minute mark, resulting in the first death. As Marks attempted to stall for time with the texter, he worked with Nancy Hoffman (Michelle Dockery), a flight attendant, and Jen Summers (Julianne Moore), a passenger seated next to Marks, to discover the texter's identity. When the next 20 minutes expired, the Captain (Linus Roache) suddenly died, presumably of poisoning.
Back in the U.S., the media and the public became convinced that Marks is hijacking the plane, as the bank account was in HIS name and a passenger uploaded video footage of Marks treating passengers aggressively and that video is broadcast on television. Co-pilot Kyle Rice (Jason Butler Harner) was instructed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to ignore Marks and land in Iceland, the closest destination; he diverted the plane but continued to cautiously trust Marks. Cell phone programmer Zack White, a passenger on the plane, was asked by Marks to design a hack which will cause the texter's cell phone to ring. It was discovered in the pocket of passenger Charles Wheeler, who claims to have never seen the phone before. After being physically subdued by Marks during the interrogation, Wheeler died in a similar fashion to the Captain (with symptoms of poisoning.)
In the lavatory, Marks found a hole in the wall that allowed someone to shoot a poison dart at the Captain; he found that Wheeler was struck with a dart as well. While Marks and Summers try to gain access to the texter's phone, it suddenly activates, sending automated messages to the TSA implying that Marks is suicidal and is going to detonate a bomb on the plane.
Marks found the bomb hidden in the cocaine smuggled by Hammond. Passengers attempted to disable Marks, convinced he is a terrorist. They overpowered Marks, but passenger Tom Bowen used Marks' gun to make them move away. Marks finally explained the situation, and they agreed to work with him.
Unable to land the plane in time, he attempted to initiate a protocol of least damage: by descending the plane to 8,000 feet to equalize air pressure, placing the bomb in the rear of the plane, covering it with baggage and moving the passengers to the front to contain the explosion, and minimizing casualties. As the protocol went into effect, a fighter jet escort joins the airliner and warned that if it descends into civilian airspace, it will be shot down.
Watching a video clip of himself handling passengers, Marks noticed Bowen—whom he had initially cleared of any suspicion—slipping the texter's phone into Wheeler's pocket. Realizing that Bowen is the culprit, he learned that Bowen's father was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and that he and White are ex-military. Appalled by the lack of security at U.S. airports after 9/11, Bowen believed framing an air marshal as a terrorist will lead to drastically increased SECURITY. Bowen was prepared to die with the plane and shoots White, who planned to parachute off with the money, after Marks persuaded White to disarm the bomb. As Bowen prepared to shoot Marks, Rice disregarded orders from his fighter jet escort and descended, giving an advantage to Marks in the following fight where he killed Bowen with a head shot. Still alive from Bowen's shot, White then attacked Marks but is also defeated. Immediately afterwards, Marks escaped from the blast radius of the bomb just in time, while White was killed by the detonation.
Rice managed an emergency landing at an air base in Iceland after the bomb exploded. The plane was damaged in the landing, but no one else died. Marks was hailed as a hero in the media, and he and Summers began a friendship.
After the movie ended, a 50's film then played. It was called "6 1/2 Magic Hours".
Then, an old episode of Seinfeld was playing. It was called "The Airport".
Plot: Jerry and Elaine were flying home from St. Louis to New York after Jerry has performed a show and Elaine has visited her sister. When their flight to JFK Airport got cancelled, Jerry and Elaine rebooked on another flight to LaGuardia Airport, with one seat left in first class and one in coach. After a brief tense moment during which Jerry explained that he cannot fly coach since he's flown first class before while Elaine hasn't and so cannot miss it, Elaine got cramped into coach and dealt with rude, obnoxious people while Jerry partied in first class with a model, Tia Van Camp (Jennifer Campbell). During the trip, Elaine tried so desperately to sneak into first class, but got caught and was asked to return to coach.
Due to their having to rebook and a rerouting of their flight, George and Kramer got between JFK and LaGuardia to pick them up. At JFK, George met a convict, and toke the last Time Magazine available. The convict asked for it, but George refused, saying that Jerry mentioned George and therefore had a "blurb" in it. The convict told him to look at the cover, which showed the convict's face and the headline "Caught!" George still refused to hand over the magazine, despite threats from the convict. Kramer saw a man who he believed is a former roommate of his, John Grossbard, who owed him $240 from twenty years ago. Kramer hatched a scheme to get the money back that involved him and George buying tickets for the man's flight and boarding it, Kramer receiving his money and then they got off the plane and returned the tickets. George bought into the scheme, as he decided it will give him more frequent flier miles, and he will just get his money back; he asked Kramer to buy two tickets. Kramer bought non-refundable tickets, claiming the woman who sold them convinced him it was a good deal, much to George's dismay. They boarded the plane and Kramer confronted Grossbard, asking him for the money; when Grossbard claimed he did not know who Kramer is, Kramer attempted to reach into his pocket and grab his wallet, which created a scene. During this, George is waiting for the bathroom, and when the door opened up, it is the convict, unshackled, inside. He grabed George, pulled him into the bathroom and locked the door, where he proceeded to beat him up. Kramer was arrested and apparently in "serious trouble", but he escaped the SECURITY guard's grasp and ran away.
When Jerry and Elaine landed, the model said goodbye to Jerry, and claimed she will call him, while she is being followed by paparazzi. Elaine's bag never arrived (This was due to an earlier scene where Elaine complained to the skycap that he did not deserve to be tipped. In revenge, he sent her luggage on a different flight to Honolulu), and Kramer came sliding down the baggage chute, as his escape was successful. The three of them left, while George was seen on a seat in the airplane, flying to an unknown location, letting out a scream of exasperation (directed at Kramer), as the episode ends.
There is an alternate ending where George met up with Elaine and Jerry at the baggage claim, beaten up, saying in a daze, "You won't believe what happened to me."
Afterwards, a video about the 787 Dreamliner by CNBC was playing.
Finally, an old Paramount classic was playing. It was called, “Airplane”. The film was directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, & Jerry Zucker, was produced by Jon Davison, & it starred Robert Hays, & Julie Hagerty. In this motion picture, ex-fighter pilot and taxi driver Ted Striker (Robert Hays) became traumatized after an incident that occurred shortly after a bombing over Macho Grande, during an unnamed war, leading to a pathological fear of flying. As a result, he was unable to hold a responsible job. His wartime girlfriend, Elaine Dickinson (Julie Hagerty), now a flight attendant, left him as a result. Striker nervously boarded a Boeing 707 (Trans American Flight 209) from Los Angeles to Chicago on which she is serving, hoping to win her back, but she rebuffed him.
After dinner was served, many of the passengers fell ill, and fellow passenger Dr. Rumack (Leslie Nielsen) put an egg on his wife's head, then cracked it, causing a bird to fly out, revealing Ms. Rumack's body temperature. In the cockpit, 2 of the men except the pilot gained the same sickness, leaving pilot Clarence Oveur (Peter Graves) to fly the plane with Elaine, & in that cockpit, Rumack told Elaine that it might have something to do with what the passengers ate, & asked her what it was. She told him that there was a choice, either stake &/or fish. Earlier in the movie, Ted Striker was telling parts of is story in chronological order, at 1st whoever he was telling each part to was listening, but at the end of the part, they weren't. During those times, some passengers ordered stake, & others ordered fish. Back in the present, when Elaine told Rumack that there are 2 other passengers who are also feeling sick. He told her to ask them what they had, & she did so. When she asked the 2 passengers what they had, they told her the food that's causing all the problem, fish. When Elaine went back to the cockpit to tell Rumack that it was fish that the passengers had, he told her that now they know what they're up against, & deduced that the passengers have contracted food poisoning from the fish. The pilot takes a look at his food to find a fish skeleton, realizing his mistake to order such a dish. When Rumack told the steps &/or phases of what the fish is doing to the passengers, he goes through the phases & passes out, causing the plane to shake violently, giving Elaine & Rumack evidence that Oveur has also been affected, leaving no one to fly the plane. Elaine contacted the Chicago control tower for help, and was instructed by tower supervisor Steve McCroskey (Lloyd Bridges) to activate the plane's autopilot, a large inflatable pilot doll (listed as “Otto” in the end CREDITS), which will get them to Chicago, but will not be able to land the plane. Rumack asked Elaine if she knows anyone who knows how to fly air vehicles, causing her to remember Ted Striker, making her response, “No! Not that I know of.” Rumack then told her that they're looking for someone who not only knows how to fly it & can land it, but didn't have fish for dinner. After Ted told his African story to an Arab, Rumack found & convinced him to fly the plane, though Ted felt unable to handle the pressure and the unfamiliar aircraft.
McCroskey knew that he must get someone else to help take the plane down and called Rex Kramer (Robert Stack). Kramer was Ted's commanding officer in the war, and despite their hostile relationship he would be the best choice to instruct Striker. Rex contacted Ted & gave him some instructions. For a manner of minutes, things were going well, until Engine 4 exploded, since Ted forgot to check the oil pressure, but everyone continues flying. Later in the flight, one of the non-sick passengers spoke up, telling everyone that they have a right to know what's going on. Rumack told everyone a series of lies honestly, which led to his nose getting longer like Pinocchio. Afterwards, Ted decides that he has had enough, & leaves Otto in place of him as he walks out in regret. As the plane neared Chicago, Ted was overcome by stress and can land the plane only after a pep talk from Dr. Rumack. With Kramer's advice, Ted was able to land the plane safely with only minor injuries to some passengers. During the landing, a lot of emergency vehicles arrived to the runway to put out the fires the landing was creating. Before the landing, Ted tore the brake out, making the plane unstoppable. During the landing, he put the front wheels back inside, causing the plane to slow down, emitting large amounts of sparks. In the terminal, the people inside listened to the announcer & kept switching gates, according to the announcer because of Ted Striker landing the plane wrong. It even blocked Air Israel's way when the time was right for them to fly to the Holy land. After the plane landed, a yellow slide inflated, & all the passengers slid on it out of the plane, then Ted's courage rekindled Elaine's love for him, and the two shared a kiss. “Otto” toke off in the evacuated plane after inflating a female companion, with Ted & Elaine being witnesses. The words, “The End”, was shown before the film cuts to black, & was in the same font it was once written in at the end of movies released by Paramount during it's earlier years.
After the movie ended, the plane landed in Ethiopia, we got off & enjoyed what Ethiopia had in store for us.
