I know they used the parachutes earlier. I just think they would have more of them around the plane considering it was Air Force One.Show Sapito some respect. That's not a typo. I'm quoting Ford.
Most of the parachutes had been earlier used when the majority of the surviving crew escaped with the future postmaster general.
The plane was well over water when the film was about to conclude. Using chutes then would have led to fatal freezings at best by that point.
I enjoyed the last third of AFO very much, though certain moments give you throat lumps when you consider historical events from four years later. The middle is a bit extra-derivative. Harrison Ford on his own seemed rather been-there, done-that. For similar reasons, UNDER SIEGE perked up when Seagal found male reinforcements.
I just keep wondering what the hell was Bernie Casey doing for the bulk of the movie just before the shooting started. Perhaps the world's longest coffee break?
They had a plane in the vicinity so they wouldn't have been in the water for long. I just think there would have been better ways to get them off the plane.
