@OP: What did we tell you about titles?

In 1947, there wasn't flight from Calcutta to NNY, it was actually from #Karachi to #Istanbul http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_121

Co-pilots don’t just “leave” the cockpit ESPECIALLY in an emergency situation. Cute story though.... internet, oh you!!!!

Or MAYBE he didn’t want to test his luck by being in a fourth plane crash?

Wait he survived 3 plane crashes something tells me he was involved

Once as a military pilot in which he was absolved of any responsibility, one as a passenger, and obviously the one above.

You left out the part where he had to go out on the wing and shoot the gremlin that initially started the fire.

Why hasnt a movie been made about this???

Probably because there likely isn't an over arching struggle or opposing force in his life.

Sully was made, even though i didn't watch it i know this would have been better

Didn't they try to give overtones of final l financial troubles though?

Because its not enough story to make a 1.5hr long film without being highly dramatized i.e. filled with bullshit that didn’t happen.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Because Gene would have hated a film about himself. And as much as Star Trek is losing his legacy, I think some people still respect that.

Don't get me wrong that's awesome as hell, but why would the co-pilot leave the cockpit during an emergency??

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Correction: snopes cites sources that say he was a third pilot w/o responsibilities. Carry on your browsing and disregard.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

So he wasn’t a co-pilot then

Why the fuck wasn't he up in the cockpit helping the pilot

Also because the captain sent him out to help the passengers prepare for a crash landing.

Yeah, 'cuz there's a fuck lot you can do when your engine pops like a firecracker. /s

Exactly!!!

Because he was 3rd officer on the flight, flying in the cabin with no set duties.
