Factual Background
Flight 180 is very loosely based on the real-life disaster of TWA Flight 800 that occurred in 1996. The plane was a 747 en route to Paris, with high school students and had also experienced an in-light explosion.
Critic Roger Ebert, who praised the movie, called this allusion "a bit tasteless".
