1. It lasted until it reached the crash site.
2. Flight 232 took off at 2:09pm (CDT), and trouble was reported when an engine crapped itself at 3:16pm. That's 1 hour and 7 minutes. The plane was kept flying for a period of time after this though, so I haven't been able to determing the time of impact. The crash landing WAS captured on video, however the camera didn't have a date stamp displayed on the recording, and even if it did we wouldn't know what time that camera was set to and whether it was the correct time. So I don't know, and digging through reports and other articles hasn't turned up anything.
3. Here -- all you ever wanted to know about it. The captain gets my vote for best pilot ever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Flight_232
4. Alfred C. Haynes saw this man at Museum of flight, remarkable man. Read the chapter he wrote for a book, title of which escapes me at the moment.
