Leslie Nielsen Investigates Food Poisoning in Airplane!

RIP Leslie Nielsen who died this weekend at the age of 84! Here are a couple of clips from the 1980 film Airplane! of him playing Dr. Alan Rumack, who discovers that the one of the meal options (it was the fish, not the beef) gave passengers and crew food poisoning. It is a sign of the times! The movie's concept probably wouldn't work today though, for airlines no longer serve meals on flights from Los Angeles to Chicago.
