Having fallen ill on a trip in the Far East, Elaine gratefully accepted her friend's offer to take over the next leg of her assigned trip. But what should have been a day of rest and relaxation becomes a tragedy mourned by thousands. With news of the devastating crash of Flight 781, Elaine is shattered by the loss of all passengers, including the colleague who fatefully took her place.
