[00:07.000]KEVIN J
[00:07.000]Twenty hours20
[00:08.000]PASSENGER 3

[00:16.000]COMPANY
[00:16.000]Twenty-eight hours28
[00:19.000]Over an entire day
[00:23.000]There was one aisle in the middle
[00:27.000]Everyone knew every inch of that plane
[00:30.000]PASSENGER 10
[00:30.000]We were allowed out of our seats, but not off the plane
[00:33.000]KEVIN T
[00:33.000]You never think about it, but airplane doors are twenty feet in the air
[00:37.000]KEVIN J
[00:37.000]And even if you survived the jump, they probably would have shot you
[00:40.000]PASSENGER 3
[00:40.000]You can go up to first class, you can stretch in the aisles
[00:43.000]PASSENGER 7
[00:43.000]There are three seats on each side and there was only one aisle in the middle
[00:46.000]BOB
[00:46.000]Everyone knew every inch of that plane
[00:48.000]PASSENGER 4
[00:48.000]Our flight was full! There were children sleeping on the floor
[00:51.000]PASSENGER 2
[00:51.000]We had no way to get information
[00:53.000]NICK
[00:53.000]This is before most people had mobile phones. And only a couple people got through

[01:14.000]No, I'm fine, Tom
[01:16.000]I'm fine

[01:38.000]Take them into the kitchen

[01:45.000]That we used to put pins in
[01:50.000]For each destination
[01:53.000]That we flew together
[01:57.000]Tell them I'm fine
[02:00.000]Put a pin here in Gander
[02:05.000]NICK
[02:05.000]On our plane, someone has a cell phone
[02:07.000]PASSENGER 10
[02:07.000]But then the battery dies
[02:08.000]ALI
[02:08.000]There are phones in the backs of the seats
[02:08.998]PASSENGER 2
[02:08.998]But they don't work!
[02:09.998]PASSENGER 4
[02:09.998]Half the passengers on our plane don't speak English!
[02:12.998]PASSENGER 11
[02:12.998]Even if we knew what was happenin', we don't speak their language
[02:15.998]PASSENGER 10
[02:15.998]On our plane, we asked the flight attendants
[02:17.998]FLIGHT ATTENDANT
[02:17.998]But the captain says not to say too much, and that's when rumors start flying
[02:20.998]PASSENGER 5
[02:20.998]There was an accident
[02:21.998]PASSENGER 12
[02:21.998]An accident?
[02:22.998]ALI
[02:22.998]The US airspace is closed
[02:24.998]PASSENGER 8
[02:24.998]For the first time in history
[02:25.998]PASSENGER 11
[02:25.998]Why won't she tell us what's happening?
[02:26.998]PASSENGER 9
[02:26.998]A helicopter crashed in Pennsylvania
[02:28.998]PASSENGER 5
[02:28.998]A helicopter crashed into a building
[02:29.998]PASSENGER 10
[02:29.998]
[02:30.498]PASSENGER 8
[02:30.498]The White House!
[02:30.998]PASSENGER 7
[02:30.998]The White House was bombed!
[02:31.498]FLIGHT ATTENDANT
[02:31.498]I need you to calm down, ma'am! Everyone calm down!
[02:31.998]PASSENGER 10
[02:31.998]It's World War III! Oh my God, it's World War III!
[02:34.998]JOEY
[02:34.998]Whoo!
[02:35.998]Meanwhile on our plane
[02:37.998]We didn't have a clue
[02:38.998]We were all going insane because
[02:41.998]COMPANY
[02:41.998]There wasn't squat to do
[02:42.998]JOEY
[02:42.998]Then the captain starts apologizing
[02:44.998]Says on behalf of the airline
[02:46.998]He's giving each and everyone some
[02:49.998]COMPANY
[02:49.998]Complimentary booze!
[02:50.998]Open the airplane doors
[02:51.998]Wave at all the cars
[02:53.998]Hello to whoever you are
[02:56.998]Wherever we are
[02:57.998]PASSENGER 1
[02:57.998]The groundcrews supplied whatever we needed
[02:59.998]KEVIN J

[03:07.998]And delivered them to everyone
[03:09.998]COMPANY
[03:09.998]Soon everyone got friendlier
[03:11.998]JOEY

[03:18.998]Open the airplane doors
[03:20.998]Wave at all the locals
[03:22.998]Surely there's something better to do than park
[03:25.998]Wherever we are
[03:25.998]KEVIN T
[03:25.998]We'd been sitting there for fourteen hours when we pull out the Grey Goose
[03:29.998]KEVIN J
[03:29.998]Kevin and I were kind of hiding it because...
[03:33.998]KEVIN T

[03:35.998]DELORES
[03:35.998]I don't understand why they can't let us off. I mean, just to stretch our legs?! I mean, really? I need to get some air! Oh my God, I need to get off this plane!
[03:51.998]KEVIN T
[03:51.998]And my boyfriend Kevin. We're both named Kevin. It was cute for a while. Anyway, Kevin was not dealing with it well
[03:59.998]KEVIN J
[03:59.998]I'm going to kill her
[04:00.998]DELORES
[04:00.998]Excuse me? I would like to get off the plane. I am claustrophobic!
[04:05.998]KEVIN J
[04:05.998]Excuse me, would you like some Xanax? Because you are freaking out and it is freaking me out and we are all freaking the **** out!
[04:12.998]COMPANY
[04:12.998]Open the airplane doors
[04:14.998]Let a little air in here
[04:16.999]'Cause I could use a shower or a bar
[04:19.999]Open the airplane doors
[04:21.999]Look at all the planes out there

[04:38.999]Twenty-eight hours28
[04:40.999]Nothing to see

[04:54.999]FLIGHT ATTENDANT
[04:54.999]We ran through every movie we had: Legally Blonde, Doctor Dolittle 2, and... Titanic

[06:23.999]Later that night, I'm up in the cockpit with some of the other passengers when the pilot puts the radio on over the intercom, and the whole plane goes silent when the president gives his speech
[06:37.999]PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH
[06:37.999]I ask the American people to join me in saying thanks for all the folks who've been fighting hard to rescue our fellow citizens and to join me in saying a prayer for the victims and their families.
