[edit] Cleanup

I've done a cleanup on this, rm'g lots of unsupported (and overstated) stuff about this being a "sister" film to THATM and that they were the first "disaster" and "airport" films and so on. These statements may have been original research and one would need two or three independent citations from reliable secondary sources to support those notions here, never mind give them so much weight.

[edit] Continuity problems

I just watched the movie and noted some continuity problems.

After the co-pilot freezes to death in a fetal position, the crew says a few words over the body covered in a sheet. The body, however, is as stiff - and as straight - as a board.

The large "X" the crew spelled out using branches has tire tracks leading to it from the woods side.

After the crew spells out "Lovett Dead" in the snow, the spotters do a fly-by and the message has magically disappeared.
