Airport (1970): Cleaning the Runway Part 2

The clip Cleaning the Runway Part 2 from Airport (1970) with George Kennedy, Burt Lancaster

Whack it on the other side.
Keep monitoring Chicago Central and ground control.
If you hear anything important, honk.
Right.
What's with the plows?
If you can't move this plane, they will.
Shove an undamaged airplane with snowplows?
Are you out of your mind?
No. I'm out of runways.
Think of what this baby costs.
I'm thinking of that planeload of people.
This runway is their only hope.
If those snowplows rip it apart,
chunks of fuselage will be everywhere.
It's a chance I've got to take.
OK, but you keep those toys out of my hair...
and away from this airplane for 15 minutes.
Maybe less. I'll drive it out.
Joe, let's get one thing straight.
When tower says time is running out,
that's it, no arguments. Plows will move on my order.
Get everybody and everything out of the way. We're starting.
Get me somebody that's cockpit-qualified.
All right, everybody, we're clearing out!
And Chicago Center expects to hand over in 12 minutes.
After that, our approach control has the flight for 8-10 minutes.
We figure touchdown at 1:28.
That's less time than we figured.
Also, the runway choice must be made...
no later than five minutes before landing.
After that, they're committed. They can't turn them.
What'll we do now?
Get out of the way and wait.
And holding 6,000 on heading 205.
