comment
Spanner in the Works: The killer left a letter addressed to Donaldson in the TWA passenger lounge, telling him about the murders to committed on Flight 502. The killer intended the letter to be delivered to Donaldson the next day when it would be too late to prevent the killers. However, Millard Kensington sets off a smoke bomb in the lounge as a prank, causing the letter to be discovered earlier and to Donaldson reading it before the murders have occurred.

I Reject Your Reality: After murdering three people and being badly burned, Myerson—who had already been described as being on the edge of a complete nervous breakdown—has his mind completely snap and he is happily chatting to Larkin as he is led off the plane in handcuffs about how he will probably receive a commendation for his actions, and that he will recommend Larkin for one as well.
