To simulate the storm in the Atlantic, a model of the tower was splashed with water from a large tank. Jan Fedder lost his grip on the railing and was washed off the model, breaking a few ribs in the fall. One of the other actors instantly shouted "Man Overboard!" Wolfgang Petersen, not realizing it was an accident, enthusiastically yelled "Good idea, Jan. We'll do that one more time!" Peterson kept the scene and rewrote Fedder's part so that his character spent part of the movie in bed. The actor, who had a concussion, was brought back and forth from the hospital every day. The painful expression on his face is real. The scene which features him bedridden is on the uncut edition.
