...break the impasse, the President named Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, Commerce Secretary John T. Connor and Oregon Senator Wayne Morse as members of a panel to recommend settlement terms within 42 hours. With that, things began to happen.

In the movie's least credible scene, Ford solemnly reports Nancy's verdict to a panel of CAB experts: the crash victims died because "for some reason or other, their time had come."
