Oh, my mistake, IMDB says that a TV movie called "Terror In the Sky" was
based on an Arthur Hailey novel called "Runway Zero 8". Evidently Hailey
went to the "flight crew incapacitated by food, passenger takes over" well
a LOT. He didn't write the screenplay for "Terror in the Sky" like he did
for "Flight Into Danger" and "Zero Hour", though.

As I recall, Hailey's _Airport_ was an excellent book, and quite accurate
(although very dated now--the aviation industry has changed a lot). The movie
by the same name was also very good, even if people make fun of it today, and
it was quite accurate technically as well.
