I was gonna do an edit of my reply to add essentially what you mention about 'Across the Pacific'.  I would love to read what kind of reaction Huston and co. went through.

I remembered that very episode the morning of 9/11 and, aside from the enormity of the situation, it totally magnified the surrealism of what was happening.
