Al Haynes: The approach to Sioux Gateway Airport, under normal circumstances, is a pilot's delight. You cross the Missouri River, pass the tip of South Dakota. Nebraska's on your right. On your left, the farmlands of Iowa. As you get closer to the airport, in the fields between the runways, they grow soybeans and corn. It's in one of these cornfields that our story begins...

"Al Haynes: We must have taken out all the hydraulics lines at once, is that possible?
Bill Records: Well, they all come together back there.
Al Haynes: Get on the yoke with me, will you? I don't know if it's doing any good or not, but it's all we got. You need to handle the number three throttles too. I can't handle them both. Dudley, what does the manual say?
Dudley Dvorak: See page I-63.
United Airlines Maintenance: 232, systems maintenance. Understand you have normal power on number one and number three engine?
Al Haynes: Maintenance, 232, affirmative. We need help on loss of all, repeat, all hydraulic systems. What have you got, Dudley?
Dudley Dvorak: [frantically] Main bus, main backup, the hell! It doesn't say anything about all three out! It's not supposed to happen!
Al Haynes: Minneapolis Center, United 232 Heavy.
Minneapolis Center: 232, go ahead.
Al Haynes: Sir, we have a problem. We have no hydraulic fluid, which means we have no elevator control, almost none. We have a little aileron control. We're trying to steer with throttles only. I have serious doubts about reaching destination. Do you know someplace nearby where we might be able to land? If I don't take control of this airplane soon, I'll have to put her down wherever she happens to be.
Minneapolis Center: 232, Roger. Standby one.
[pause]
United Airlines Maintenance: 232, systems maintenance. You might try flight manual, page I-63.
Dudley Dvorak: I'm on I-63!
Minneapolis Center: 232 Heavy, Minneapolis Center. Do you wish to declare an emergency?
Al Haynes: Yes, Sir! That is affirmative. We'd appreciate all the help we can get.
