Aftermath real story movie#
Instead we see the aftermath of being forced to drink drain cleaner with Terry not only in a serious condition in hospital but with very clear acid burns across his face.īut the real focus of the movie is on Ross not only trying to hold the family together having been distant as a father when his children were growing up but on dealing with Terry. Now I have read some opinions which state that this is unsettlingly graphic and I can only presume the version I got to watch was an edited version because the actual attacks on the people is only insinuated. There are basically two stages to "Aftermath: A Test of Love" the horrific set up and then the aftermath.
Whilst Irene dies Terry survives but in a very sick state leaving Ross to try and keep the family together and pick up the pieces of the horror. They both end up with along with other civilians at the store forced to drink drain cleaner and shot through the head. Mean while back at home Terry's mother Irene ( Michael Learned - A Christmas Without Snow) worries when he is later but his father Ross ( Richard Chamberlain - The Return of the Musketeers) is less concerned leading to Irene ending up at the Hi Fi store having gone out looking for Terry. Having taken a short cut through his cousin's Hi Fi store he returns to find the place being held up. When Matt (Zeljko Ivanek) shows up at his parent's they ask him to stop for dinner so he calls his youngest brother Terry (Denis Heames) to stop off on the way home to pick up their holiday photos from the processor. It is because of this as well as a recognizable cast which includes Richard Chamberlain, Doug Savant and Michael Learned that "Aftermath: A Test of Love" is still accessible for those unaware of the true story. But whilst I might be wrong the focus is more on the aftermath of the horror, the family dealing not only with the loss of their mother but also on the youngest Terry being severely injured following the events. Now I like I am sure many people will not be familiar with the true story on which this is based. Meanwhile Captain Paul Phillips, 47, a father of three, and his Canadian-born co-pilot Brant Campioni would had a terrifying three-minute dive to ground unable to control their plane and knowing death was inevitable.Evidently "Aftermath: A Test of Love" which has since been renamed "The Other Side of Murder" is based on a true story of a horrific crime which took place back in 1974. The Russian plane broke up in mid-air with the nose section falling vertically and the rear section with the engines continuing, stalling and then plumetting.
Had both aircraft followed those automated instructions, the collision would not have occurred but instead, unaware of the TCAS instructions, Nielson repeated his instructions to the Russian plane and the crew ignored the automated warning.Īt 11.35pm the planes collided at almost a right angle at an altitude of 34,890 feet with the Boeing's tail vertical stabilizer slicing completely through Flight 2937 just ahead of the wings. Meanwhile on the Boeing the TCAS told that crew to descend too. An investigation which followed found he told the passenger plane crew to descend by a 1,000ft to avoid a collision but second after they changed course the in-built traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) told him to climb instead.
