The crew attempted an forced landing however crashed short of the runway, around the cornfield, & virtually all of the rider & crew survived. a speech from the Captain to the rider prior to impact resembles closely to the a single Captain Al Haynes gave in realistic, including his closing line "Good luck to us all."
