Quotes
-
Benny Colon : Captain Mathison, what were you thinking when the plane lost power in the wind shear?
Attorney Dworkin : Objection. That is not the NTSB's video.
Benny Colon : Your Honor, the video has been modified in one specific way, and that is to show the jury what was on the ground.
Judge Edith Rothstein : I'll allow it, but only for that reason. Watch your step, Mr.Colon.
Captain Taylor Mathison : I don't remember, actually, due to head trauma from the crash.
Benny Colon : You flew a simulation earlier that replicated the conditions. And you performed the same maneuver. Why?
Captain Taylor Mathison : It was the only way to get a few more seconds flight out of the plane.
Benny Colon : But it wasn't protocol. Even your copilot asked what you were doing.
Captain Taylor Mathison : It would have taken too long to explain. He was never a military pilot. Anyway, there was nothing for him to do. I was in full command of the aircraft.
Benny Colon : Why was it important for the plane to stay in the air a few extra seconds?
Captain Taylor Mathison : To veer the plane to an unpopulated area. If I couldn't save the lives of the people on board, at least I could save lives on the ground.
