Pryor informs the Salt Lake control tower that the crew is dead or badly injured and that there is no one to fly the plane. She gives an assessment of the damage as a large hole on the right side of the flight deck that wiped out most of the instrument gauges over the engineer station. Joe Patroni, Columbias Vice President of Operations, is apprised of Columbia 409s situation. He seeks the advice of Captain Al Murdock, Columbias chief flight instructor, who also happens to be Nancy Pryors boyfriend, even though their relationship was on the rocks at that time.Patroni and Murdock take the airlines executive jet to Salt Lake. En route, they communicate with Pryor, learning that the autopilot is keeping the aircraft in level flight, but it is inoperable for turns. The jet is heading into the Wasatch Mountains, so Murdock starts to guide Pryor by radio on how to perform the turn when radio communications are interrupted and the Salt Lake tower is unable to restore contact. ........
