The cause of the crash in Cast Away is never clearly explained. If only pure sweetness was offered, why's this bitter taste left in my mouth. there once was a thread on the crash and the aircraft of this movie on this board. BY Guest - Fri Jan 05, 2001 1:57 am - Fri Jan 05, 2001 1:57 am #495349. Myself, after seeing the footage of the two 767’s hitting the WTC played over and over, I won’t mind if they never put another airliner crash scene in a movie. You never see Tom boarding the aircraft but the flight deck of the accident aircraft is obviously an MD-11. 2000 Awards: 1 Golden Globe, 15 other awards Swept Away: Guy Ritchie: Madonna, Adriano Giannini, Bruce Greenwood: Remake of the 1974 film of the same title. By the way, does that FedEx flight number exisit? But the apparent root cause isn't going away. On DC10/MD11 aircraft, this is generally a solid bulkhead, and on Airbuses a curtain. We thank you for your support and hope you'll join the largest aviation community on the web.

It's kind of funny, because I tried to find some information about Fedex's Airbusses on their website, maybe something like "this plane starred in Castaway", and I found a picture of an A310 that had a caption that read "The FedEx Express fleet of more than more than 650 aircraft (including Airbus A300s like this one)...", so apparently, FedEx can't even tell the two planes apart.
We'll keep you posted as investigators try to determine the mechanical cause for this C-130 crash. And I'm sure there are others like me that don't really like it. Or so they impily.....I didn't take the time to read all the replys but, There's most licky just a A300 Parked at the entrance.

However, when Hanks is in the ocean looking back at the plane, it shows the tail as it is sinking into the water. They are off course trying to avoid a storm in heavy turbulence, some cargo shifts & there is an explosive decompression.
Adam- a mockup in this case is a Hollywood soundstage. The only reason I mention ANC is because Tom Hanks says something to the effect of you should see our new humb in Anchorage. Guest.

Once in a while a movie will come around that has uses some real information about aviation. Although, I did see winglets when the MD-11 crashes in the water. I'd have to watch the movie again to be sure, though. In that picture you can clearly see that it's an Airbus.This is actually kind of a point of discussion amongst people that know a lot about these FedEx planes, because the movie has some mistakes in it when it comes to the details of the plane. Other than that, the plane crash scene is kind of fake. Simple as that Airliners.net is the leading community for discovering and sharing high-quality aviation photography. Most of the audiences don't recognize the differences, but pilots and aviation enthusiasts do. The nature of the problem that caused the crash is quite ambiguous, leaving the filmmakers a lot of room to depict the crash pretty much however they wanted without making the crash scene unrealistic. There's a pretty good shot of the aircraft when Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt are talking before Tom Hanks gets on the plane. Cast Away is a 2000 American epic survival drama film directed and produced by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, and Nick Searcy.The film depicts a FedEx employee stranded on an uninhabited island after his plane crashes in the South Pacific and his attempts to survive on the island using remnants of his plane's cargo. The site of the crash was at the south side of the of the eastbound lanes. Tom Hanks flies on an A300 early in the movie & is seen walking toward an A300 before the crash flight. Because Robert Zemeckis said so.

We add you, subtract your clothes, divide your legs and multiplyThat plane must have a hell of a range to make it from Memphis all the way to the South Pacific. Does anyone know what type of FedEx plane cockpit is featured in the new Tom Hanks film "Cast Away". One shot shows a closeup of the LCD radar display. there were many interesting infos.

After the MD-11 hits the water & breaks up Tom is swimming & almost gets sucked into the still running #2 engine which is still attached to the vertical stabilizer. Hanks goes into the bathroom, which is located aft of a crew door, and against the front of the cargo area. If it hadn't have crashed, Tom Hanks (and Wilson) wouldn't have been marooned on an island...You were right about the storm. :) I added a link to the page in sources.Yea, it's common for movies to use several different types of aircraft to represent a single airplane in scene. If they were on international airbills it would not be necessary for him to open the package to see what was inside, a description of the contents would be clearly visible on the airbill.It's pretty hard to tell the A310 and the A300 apart, especially since the movie doesn't stay true to the interior, but the A300 fuselage is a little bit longer in front of the wings, and in the shot where Hunt and Hanks are talking before the flight leaves, it seems to be an A300 to me. That may explain why the film's most emotionally powerful scene involves the loss of an inanimate object, even as it presents a heart-rending dilemma in its very human final act. The plane is actually not an MD-11 or a DC-10, but an Airbus A300. The plane is actually not an MD-11 or a DC-10, but an Airbus A300. This content is imported from Twitter.
