:49:14
Keep monitoring Chicago Central
and ground control.

:49:17
lf you hear anything
important, honk.

:49:19
TANYA: Right.
:49:26
MEL: What's with the plows?
:49:27
lf you can't move this plane,
they will.

:49:29
Shove an undamaged airplane
with snowplows?

:49:31
Are you out of your mind?
:49:33
No. l'm out of runways.
:49:35
Think of what this baby costs.
:49:37
l'm thinking of
that planeload of people.

:49:39
This runway is their only hope.
:49:41
lf those snowplows
rip it apart,

:49:43
chunks of fuselage
will be everywhere.

:49:45
lt's a chance
l've got to take.

:49:49
OK, but you keep those toys
out of my hair...

:49:52
and away from this airplane
for 15 minutes.

:49:55
Maybe less.
l'll drive it out.

:49:57
Joe, let's get one thing
straight.

:49:59
When tower says
time is running out,

:50:01
that's it, no arguments.
Plows will move on my order.

:50:05
[Horn honks]
:50:10
Get everybody and everything out
of the way. We're starting.

:50:13
Get me somebody
that's cockpit-qualified.

:50:15
MAN: All right, everybody,
we're clearing out!

:50:18
And Chicago Center expects
to hand over in 12 minutes.

:50:21
After that, our approach control
has the flight for 8-10 minutes.

:50:25
We figure touchdown at 1:28.
:50:27
That's less time
than we figured.

:50:29
Also, the runway choice
must be made...

:50:31
no later than five minutes
before landing.

:50:33
After that, they're committed.
They can't turn them.

:50:36
-What'll we do now?
-Get out of the way and wait.

:50:50
And holding 6,000
on heading 205.

:50:53
What's the status
on runway two-niner?

:50:55
No change.
We'll keep you advised.

:50:57
Roger.
