Quotes:
Al Haynes: Denver Tower, this is United 232 heavy, ready for take-off, 35 Right.::Denver Tower Controller: 232 heavy, cleared for take-off, 35 Right, and have a good day sir.::Al Haynes: Denver Tower, roger that, cleared for take-off runway 35 Right... and you have a good one too.
Jim Hathaway: Mount up, Red Dog, they need the pros again.
[Noticing that the aircraft is approaching the airport from behind them, and lining up on the runway they occup]::Fireman: He's coming in behind us... he's coming right at us!
Heidi: Better pick up. It's Marg at the Comm Center!::Gary Brown: Yeah, Marg?::Marg: I... I just got a call from Sioux Tower. Get on the loop.::Gary Brown: I'm on.::Chris Porter: Understand Sioux City is option one after Des Moines. Is pilot aware Sioux Gateway's longest runway is 9,000 feet?::Minneapolis Center: Sioux City, at this time pilot is just, uh, looking for a home.::Chris Porter: Roger, standing by.::[pause]::Gary Brown: My God. Rich! Rich! Get the comm trailer out to Gateway, I think we got something going on. Heidi? This one's real!
[over P.A]::Sioux City Fire Dispatch: 2403 Ogden Avenue, Sioux Gateway Airport, Alert Two.
Chris Porter: Where is he going? He can't make the turn to 31.::Mack Zubinski: Hey! He's coming in on 22.::Chris Porter: Uh, Sir? that, uh, runway is closed. That's 22, Sir. But if you have to, you can line up on it.::Al Haynes: Well, we're pretty well lined up now. How long is that runway?::Chris Porter: Uh, United 232 Heavy. Okay, Sir. T-t-that will work. It's 6,600 feet, and the equipment's coming off.
Marg: Rescue One, this is Comm Center. What have you got there, dear?::Gary Brown: She's down and burning! It's a big jet fuel fire. Bob says we got plenty of foam but not water. We need every truck full!::Marg: What about survivors?::Gary Brown: I don't think so, Marg.
Al Haynes: We must have taken out all the hydraulics lines at once, is that possible?::Bill Records: Well, they all come together back there.::Al Haynes: Get on the yoke with me, will you? I don't know if it's doing any good or not, but it's all we got. You need to handle the number three throttles too. I can't handle them both. Dudley, what does the manual say?::Dudley Dvorak: See page I-63.::United Airlines Maintenance: 232, systems maintenance. Understand you have normal power on number one and number three engine?::Al Haynes: Maintenance, 232, affirmative. We need help on loss of all, repeat, all hydraulic systems. What have you got, Dudley?::Dudley Dvorak: [frantically] Main bus, main backup, the hell! It doesn't say anything about all three out! It's not supposed to happen!::Al Haynes: Minneapolis Center, United 232 Heavy.::Minneapolis Center: 232, go ahead.::Al Haynes: Sir, we have a problem. We have no hydraulic fluid, which means we have no elevator control, almost none. We have a little aileron control. We're trying to steer with throttles only. I have serious doubts about reaching destination. Do you know someplace nearby where we might be able to land? If I don't take control of this airplane soon, I'll have to put her down wherever she happens to be.::Minneapolis Center: 232, Roger. Standby one.::[pause]::United Airlines Maintenance: 232, systems maintenance. You might try flight manual, page I-63.::Dudley Dvorak: I'm on I-63!::Minneapolis Center: 232 Heavy, Minneapolis Center. Do you wish to declare an emergency?::Al Haynes: Yes, Sir! That is affirmative. We'd appreciate all the help we can get.
Dennis Fitch: Tell you what. We'll all have a beer when we get this sucker down.::Al Haynes: I don't drink, but I'll sure as hell have one on that!
[picking up the telephone]::Mack Zubinski: Sioux City Tower? Say again? 232 Heavy? Confirm me heavy. Understand, a DC-10 squawking 7700. Roger, standing by.::[to Porter]::Mack Zubinski: Minneapolis Center. Get set for an emergency hand-off.::Chris Porter: A DC-10?::Mack Zubinski: Yeah. Tail engine blown out, no hydraulics. Only control he's got is right and left throttle. Poor bastard's circling high and looking for a place to land.::Chris Porter: You wanna take approach control?::Mack Zubinski: No, you'll do fine. I'm right behind you.
