On a late-night report detailing the hijacked TWA flight, the reporter ended
the report explaining that everything will come down to the wire Sunday
morning, when the hijackers deadline comes up, and they say they will blow
up the plane, with the passengers still on it.  Grim face, fade to black...

And then one of those upbeat, loud "*N*  *B*  *C*  Let's all BE THERE!!" ads.

Probably a coincidence, but still, makes the whole thing sound like a
spectator sport...

        "By the way, I payed for the whole trip on Mr. Underhill's American
	 Express card.  Want the number?"
