Commercial aircraft do not fly into thunderstorms. Approx. 16 minutes into the film the flight carrying the students to NYC is show flying into lightning illuminated c. nimbus clouds. Although these clouds can develop rather quickly, there were other routes available to that aircraft to take to maintain their rule of avoiding thunderstorms by at least 8 miles laterally. Rules in effect at the time the movie was made (and still do) virtually "require" separation from building Cumulonimbus Clouds by at least 10 nautical miles when below the altitude where water freezes (the Freezing Level) and 20 nautical miles separation when flying above the Freezing level.
