>>>The movie does start with a brief disclaimer saying that the movie is fiction. The whole premise is the government's Y2K expert finds problems two days before in the air transportation system. As 2000 rolls over in the Marshall Islands, an F18 crashes, which forces the FAA to ground all aircraft (almost).<<< Now if they had used an F-15 and a sewage spill...well so much for the disclaimer, eh? Message 10190869 Message 10192804 We missed our chance gang. This thread could have collectively written a movie script based on real events to date that would have scared the cr@p out of audiences everywhere...with no replacement underware given Fruit of the Loom's computer problem. <ggg> We could have been rich...or run out of Hollywood on a rail (assuming the trains still run on time.) >>>While the movie is unrealistic and not based on fact, it probably does bring to light some issues that could have occurred if we had not done our job.<<< We shall see, no? (Sounds like the movie gave this guy a minor case of the heebie-geebies nonetheless.)
