I heard Gene Roddenberry got the idea for Star Trek by listening to Bill Brasky talk in his sleep!
ThatBrandonIdiot
Awesome

Why the fuck wasn't he up in the cockpit helping the pilot
froggystylez
My point exactly, I smell something....
Claptree
Because he was 3rd officer on the flight, flying in the cabin with no set duties.
Claptree
Also because the captain sent him out to help the passengers prepare for a crash landing.
E73S
Yeah, 'cuz there's a fuck lot you can do when your engine pops like a firecracker. /s
trimbelina
Exactly!!!
froggystylez
Co-pilots don’t just “leave” the cockpit ESPECIALLY in an emergency situation. Cute story though.... internet, oh you!!!!
kojenk
Did the women he was speaking to survive ?

Same, same...

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

fuck that spoilery title :(

Glad I didn't see it!
Cantalk
Don't get me wrong that's awesome as hell, but why would the co-pilot leave the cockpit during an emergency??
Cantalk
Correction: snopes cites sources that say he was a third pilot w/o responsibilities. Carry on your browsing and disregard.
froggystylez
So he wasn’t a co-pilot then
Papo709624
Why hasnt a movie been made about this???
pintDMG
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.

Someone needs to
TonyTin
Sully was made, even though i didn't watch it i know this would have been better
MisterTrashPanda
Didn't they try to give overtones of final l financial troubles though?
AnonOmis1000
Probably because there likely isn't an over arching struggle or opposing force in his life.
OneInfiniteLoop
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.
D33RLORD
Fuck yeah, oatmeal is awesome.
mds308
Especially with rodden berries.
twitchtvremembersega
Wait he survived 3 plane crashes something tells me he was involved
molotovb
Once as a military pilot in which he was absolved of any responsibility, one as a passenger, and obviously the one above.
