Christie Brinkley mentions a fellow passenger referring to a Chinese airline accident; this was China Airlines Flight 006 on February 19, in which a Boeing 747 rolled over and plunged 30,000 feet in two and a half minutes (including several seconds in which the plane was almost in a direct downward dive) after an engine failure at cruising altitude on a flight from Taipei to Los Angeles, before the pilot was able to recover control and make an emergency landing in San Francisco.
