Airliner flies into high rise building


As a reviewer notes, in "Disaster 76", the crappy movie within this crappy but fun movie playing at the drive in, an airliner crashes into a high rise building, even though the stewardess had warned the pilot to look out! The plane's fuselage improbably gets stuck in the building, leading to a towering inferno type disaster sequence. This was filmed 25 years before 9/11/01, but played for laughs. PS Howzabout that Ashley Cox, Playboy centerfold?

The 70's saw a slew of disaster movies. There was the Airport series (Airport, Airport '75, Airport '77, Airport '79), The Towering Inferno, Earthquake (in Sensuround), etc. The scene you described is obviously a combination of Airport ('75) and The Towering Inferno.
