It Was 1970 And People Waited In Line For Hours On Hollywood Blvd.& Other Streets Across America They Wanted To Be Among The First To See The First Blockbuster Movie "Airport" -- The First Big Hollywod Disaster Movie In History "Airport" Stared Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, Helen Hayes, George Kennedy & others. It Earned Over US$100M In 1970 Dollars!
A Key Moment of The "Airport" Movie Is When George Kennedy Opines As The Aircraft Expert -- --To Burt Lancaster As The Airport Execututive -- -- That The Boeing 707 Fuselage Can Likely Withstand The Bomb Planted By A Mad Bomber. Can The Aircraft Survive An Explosion & Loss Of Pressure At 30,000 Feet? This Same Question Is Now Posesd On July 25 2008 For Qantas Flight QF30. Editor Note:In the 38 years since the movie "Airport" we don't recall such an event as that of Qantas Flight QF30. Cargo doors have failed, but not hulls, except the Aloha Airlines incident for reasons other than explosion. Aircraft do not usually survive a major explosion & decompression at 30,000 feet.
The 1970 Movie "Airport" Concludes When Cigar Chopping George Kennedy Slaps The Boeing 707 Hull And States ........ ........ Because The Boeing 707 Of The 1970's Has Survived The Bomb Blast At 30,000 Feet& Returned Her Passengers & Crew To Earth. But Here In Real Present Time -- Captian John Bartels of Qantas Reprises The George Kennedy Role As He Inspects His Flight QF30. So Again --- From The Cargo Letter - July 25 2008A passenger plane en route from London to Melbourne has made an emergency landing in the Philippines after a large hole appeared in its fuselage. Qantas Airways said its Boeing 747-400, with 346 passengers and 19 crew, diverted to Manila shortly after leaving Hong Kong and landed safely. Engineers are investigating what caused the hole - about 2.5m to 3m in diameter - which led to cabin pressure problems. An airport official said passengers looked scared & some were sick.
