A movie based on this incredible true story is already in the works.
BOSTON, MA — Passengers on Oceanic flight 151 out of Boston, MA are lucky to be alive after an 11-year old refused to set his phone to airplane mode during takeoff. The London-bound flight experienced what veteran pilot Jack Sullenberger described as “extreme turbulence” while gaining altitude. Despite the fact that the flight attendants had, in fact, instructed passengers to “put all cell phones in airplane mode at this time”, this 11-year old gamer did not comply.
A movie based on this incredible true story is already in the works. Harrison Ford is slated to play the pilot, Jack Sullenberger, with supporting roles by other popular actors and actresses that everybody keeps seeing in these types of movies. Unfortunately, after no parents felt their kids would be perfect for the role of the spoiled little brat, the script is being tweaked to be simply a “based on true events” piece with Bryan Cranston starring as a stressed Wall Street commodities trader who merely wanted to check an email during takeoff.
