"Ground Control" film
Did anyone see the film on C5 last night - I think it was called "Ground Control"?
I had it on in the background, so might have some details incorrect. It appeared to be about a controller who worked in something that appeared to be a combination of area and approach control in Phoenix. He was working some Mayday traffic which eventually crashed, killing all on board, through no fault of the controller. The story was about his battle to get back behind the radar screen again and overcome the emotional difficulties.
Didn't seem to be a particularly good film from an entertainment point of view, but from an aviation point of view it didn't look too bad. Some bits were blatantly wrong or over-dramatic, but on the whole it seemed to reflect what I've seen on my various ATC visits quite accurately. I'd be interested to hear from you guys, though.
(Sorry for only telling you about it afterwards - I didn't know it was on until I happened to find it whilst channel-hopping!)
