When the airplane is shown crashing, the movie shows actual news footage of the real Flight 232 as shot by reporter Dave Boxum of KTIV-TV Sioux City, Iowa.
Towards the end of the film, a news conference on the crash of Flight 232 is shown on a television, with Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad praising Gary Brown for his well coordinated emergency response efforts after the crash. The footage is in fact real, with Branstad praising the real life Brown. Branstad served as the Governor of Iowa from 1983 to 1999, and was reelected once again in 2011.
Gary Brown, the real life director of Woodbury County Emergency Services (now called the Disaster Services Office) in Sioux City, Iowa, makes a cameo appearance as an emergency services employee in the film. He can be seen operating a radio in the mobile command post when Richard Thomas' character of Gary Brown arrives at the airport.
In the aftermath of the crash, Gary Brown is seen placing a banjo back into a case. One of the survivors of United 232 was prominent bluegrass player Pete "Dr. Banjo" Wernick.
As of 2013, Gary Brown is still the director of Disaster Services for Woodbury County, Iowa. His techniques for disaster preparedness have been taught worldwide to firefighting and EMS personnel.
"[ATC Chris Porter is visiting Capt. Haynes in the hospital] Chris Porter: Well sir, you look real good. Al Haynes: I tell you, it sure beats rigor mortis. Chris Porter: I read in the paper that United put your flight track up on their Denver simulator. A lot of senior pilots tried to land the planes. So far nobody has gotten within ten miles of the airport. Al Haynes: Well they didn't have you talking them down. Chris Porter: I had a lot of help. Al Haynes: But you have no idea what your calm voice meant to us up there. Chris Porter: [choking up] Well Captain, I-I really think I might've done a better job. Al Haynes: Join the club! Listen, Chris, of all the places in America we could've landed, I thank God it was here. I intend to tell that to every man, woman, and child in this city, if I have to come back here a hundred times."
"Chris Porter: Where is he going? He can't make the turn to 31. Mack Zubinski: Hey! He's coming in on 22. Chris Porter: Uh, Sir? that, uh, runway is closed. That's 22, Sir. But if you have to, you can line up on it. Al Haynes: Well, we're pretty well lined up now. How long is that runway? Chris Porter: Uh, United 232 Heavy. Okay, Sir. T-t-that will work. It's 6,600 feet, and the equipment's coming off."
