Dougal tells Ted there is a problem with the plane and that it is going to crash, and that there are only two parachutes aboard.
Ted talks to the pilot, who agrees they should not tell the other passengers this and take calm steps to resolve the situation.
They press the "emergency" button which causes sirens and warnings about the pending crash in the passenger cabin.
Ted takes control and tells the priests that they should all write a 200-word essay on why they should get one of the two parachutes.
As they are all distracted by writing, Jack takes the parachutes, using one for himself and another for a drink cart and jumps out of the plane.
