The NTSB would investigate the incident, not the FAA.


** Even more worse tear jerker, borderlining on FridgeHorror, when you take into account all the families of not just those who went through the rip into the past and died there like Gaffney, Dinah and Nick, but those who ceased to exist when the plane rip through the rip while they were still awake. Imagine someone you knew is coming to visit you, or is going somewhere, and the plane disappears. Then a while later, the plane and a small handful of people turn up. The FAA begins to investigate and then find nothing that proves what the people on who came back stated happen, and you're left without answers as to what happened to the person you know. The families and friends of people on the plane will never get any answers as to what happened to them, and if they were told the truth, the story would be too fantastical to be believed.

** And even though he's a comparatively minor character, the death of Don Gaffney is also very tragic. He dies by getting stabbed in the back by Craig Toomy. The reason he wanted to fly to Boston in the first place was to see his first granddaughter, and he never gets the chance.

*** This effect is lost in the miniseries. Not only do the Langoliers look too funny to work for the scene, but Craig's screams, his incomprehensible dialogue, his goofy style of running away, which includes looking back several times to see if the Langoliers are still there, and the random closeups of his mouth kill any sorrow.

** First, poor Craig Toomy. With his life already ticking away after Albert crushes his skull with a toaster, Craig fruitlessly tries to run from the titular Langoliers and dies screaming pitifully to the hallucinations of his AbusiveParents.
--> '''Craig:''' I'll be good! I'll be a good boy! Please I promise I'll be good if you just MAKE THEM GO ''[[KilledMidSentence AWAY]]--''
** Second, Dinah, who quietly succumbs to a punctured lung on the plane. It's worth noting that her death is arguably one of the only things the miniseries does right.
--> '''Dinah:''' I ''saw.'' I saw through Mr. Toomy's eyes. Everything was beautiful - even the things that were dead. It was so wonderful to...you know...just to ''see.''
** Lastly, Nick, who goes out in a HeroicSacrifice worthy of a soldier, successfully carrying his people back through the time rip at the cost of his own life. As above,
Nick's death. That his actor playing him makes him death is another one of the few things the miniseries actually pulls off, even if it is just for Mark Chapman's performance.
