Detailed look at the extended TV version

Figured any AIRPORT '79 fans (do they exist?) might enjoy this. Known as the death knell for the popular 1970s disaster subgenre, this flick got the deluxe treatment when it hit ABC in 1982. Not only did they shoot new footage (mostly involving Robert Wagner's Kevin Harrison villain character), but they added in deleted footage from the original shoot. And they flipped the order of things around. It is enough to drive one crazy, so I volunteered for this cinematic suicide mission. Enjoy!
