The CCTV footage (spoilers)


It was pretty cool they way they showed the CCTV footage at the beginning. I assume what happened was the three guys meet in the bathroom, break mirrors, split the shards into the backpacks and leave. The fourth guy is waiting by the gate at the end of the footage.

Yeah, it was a good setup and made us pay attention as the movie started. Very realistic and set the tone for the rest of the movie. Especially when the only way to see what was going on outside the tiny cockpit was via the intercom video screen.

The whole movie was very thoughtfully made, including the "dark" cockpit at the start of our time in there, and the way we are left in a dark and empty plane at the end.

I thought they showed on go the terrorists buying bottles of wine. When I saw that I was thinking they could go into the restroom, break the bottle and use the glass to make weapons.

Couldn't you also make a glass knife at home and get it through security? You could get if through metal detectors.

reply

X-rays can detect glass.

Yes, that's what happens. We see the youngest terrorist buying 3 clear bottles of spirits from the duty free shop after going through security. The glass "knives" they are later holding are transparent and curved (from a bottle, not a mirror). In the final scenes the last terrorist is holding the top part of a bottle as a weapon.

It's extraordinary that there don't seem to be any security measures at airports to stop people doing this.
