``Guess I picked the wrong day to quit smoking,'' is the
line made famous by emergency air-traffic controller Allen Treleaven
(Sterling Hayden), whose job it is to talk down passenger-turned-pilot
Ted Stryker (Dana Andrews) after he takes over for the recently deceased
Wilson. Since the Cessna does not have a flight-data recorder,
investigators will interview the air-traffic controller who heard
Brand's mayday calls. Grady Carter, a 65-year-old former air-traffic controller who smoked
cigarettes until he became ill in 1991 (he was later diagnosed with lung
cancer), sued the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company. |
