The plane crash happened more than 35 years ago. Why was the film done in 2006?
This is a question that was posed to Warner Bros. and its production company, Thunder Road Pictures. Mary Viola, associate producer, answered in this way: Rarely does a story move us to be better people, stronger people. What the town of Huntington did following the 1970 plane crash is one of these inspirational stories. I read about the tragedy a few years ago and felt compelled to tell the rest of the world what this small community had accomplished.
