Airplane vs Volcano Page #2

activity for over a year.

But after thirty years of activity

that pressure has to go somewhere.

Sometimes there are connecting passages where

heat and pressure travel along the crust.

Massive amounts of pressure are forcing

submerged volcanoes to come to the surface.

Colonel. This is

only the beginning.

And it's only gonna get worse.

I am the best that you have.

You need me here.

Get set up. Keep me informed.

Thank you Sir.

Sir, ten minutes ago I was notified

the Lihue Airport lost contact with

one of their airliners coming in

from LAX forty miles off course.

This would put it minutes

after the eruptions.

They overshot their destination.

They're flying blind into a disaster.

They need immediate

rescue assistance.

I cannot initiate an air rescue over

erupting volcanoes and risk my men.

As of now, this island is

in a state of emergency.

Understood, I can notify the island.

Evacuation can be under

way as soon as you

give the order Sir.

Get on it! Get Johnson on the

ground to handle the evac.

Sir, with your permission I'd

like to assist in the evac.

Specialist, I admire your ambition, but

you're not ready son. Get back to your radio.

Yes sir.

What are you waiting for?

Make your calls.

- Yes sir.

- Yes sir.

OK.

Come on.

Everybody hang on!

Come on.

Pull up! Pull up!

Hey somebody come up here

and help us. He's hurt!

Is everybody OK?

No.

OK do we have a first

aid kit on board?

Yeah. Yeah.

Where's the intercom?

It's right there.

Uh everybody, Just remain calm.

Alright first aid is gonna come

around to those who need it.

The best way to get

through this is to

relax and try to work together..

Good luck.

Oh my arm!

Can you help me to move

this out of the way?

- Aah!

- It's broken.

Hang in there.

- Do it. Do it! Do it!

- OK.

1. 2. 3.

Breathe. Breathe.

Just breathe. Just breathe.

You're OK.

Can you use this as a splint?

You're OK. You get me the ace.

You're OK. You're alright.

We got it.

Who's flying this plane?

Sure ain't a pilot.

Hey what's your problem man?

The pilot has been

unconscious for a while.

It doesn't take much to

realize that he's dead.

The pilot's dead?

Hey! Stop it.

Just ignore him.

What about the co-pilot? Is he OK?

Don't waste your breath. They

are dead. Aren't they Rita?

Listen Crieger, do

yourself a favor.

Shut up. Sit down or

I'll put you down.

OK.

Hey. My buddy.

You OK?

I need a favor from you. I need

you to hold on to this for me.

Cool.

And I need you to protect mama.

You do that? I'm counting

on you. Tony macaroni.

Boo-yah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're gonna want to get

your people to Oahu.

You need to get them out

of volcanoes range.

It seems like a good

place to start.

Evac is within the hour.

Good. Secondly, we're going to need to

shoot probe into one of the volcanoes...

If you think I'm going to send

one of my men near those...

All I'm suggesting is to launch a

probe into one of the volcanoes.

So I can better understand them.

What exactly can we

learn from the probe?

Oceanic temperature, Aerial

temperatures, and seismic disturbances.

I may be able to predict

what they'll do next.

That's a go people.

15 minutes to airborne.

Sir. What about the

commercial airline sir?

We may get a visual of it. If we do that

will better help us coordinate a rescue.

Until you get someone on the comm,

focus on your current mission soldier.

Yes, sir.

Work.

Come on.

Of course.

Alright. What exactly are

you doing to that phone?

I'm gutting it... gonna

try to call for help.

Wait wait wait wait a minute.

The phones or the Wi-Fi

they don't work up here.

Well, not entirely.

See all these lines are connected to a

link, which is routed to a satellite,

down to a designated target.

Right now that link is being rejected

because the communications are down.

It's kinda like an unregistered user

trying to get in access, you know?

But if I can by pass that link to the

satellite, I might allow ourselves access.

This will work?

Well, I'll let you know.

OK.

Specialist Tully, What's the

status on the evac of Niihau?

Not great sir. They're running

in to a few snags. The locals

think they can handle

it themselves.

I don't care if they have to drag people

by their feet. Get it taken care of

and get their asses back

to base. Understood?

Sir.

The bird is in-bound.

Niihau control, this is Delta

2-1, approaching targets.

I have visual.

Sir, we have picture.

Delta 2-1 prepared to launch.

Roger that, Delta 2-1.

Interesting...

What?

The lava is superheated

and not very dense.

The lighter the density the most

likely is to stay airborne.

Delta 2-1. You are clear to

launch when you are ready.

Roger. Delta 2-1,

Launching probe in...

3-2-1 Fire!

Direct hit.

Good.

Get him back to base.

Roger that, Delta 2...

Wait! Niihau Control,

I have a visual of...

Delta 2-1 say again.

A thick cloud moving fast!

That cloud isn't just moving fast, it's

clocking in at three hundred knots!

Tell him to get out of there now!

Delta 2-1, return to base!

I repeat, return to base!

Niihau Control... come in.

Come in...

Delta 2-1, get out of there

now! Do you read me?!

Oh my g...

We've lost Captain Elby.

It's still coming! It's thirty thousand

meters from Niihau and closing!

- Twenty thousand meters.

- Who's on the shore?

We need to send out our boys!

Evacuate the coastal areas!

It's too late! Call the beach

patrol and have everyone leave now!

Do it!

Sir, what about everyone

living on shore?

Everyone must evacuate the beach quickly

and calmly! This is an emergency!

Colonel.

You're shores are the new Pompeii.

All civilians that are still alive,

get them to safety. Evacuate.

Rita.

Top gun needs you. He has an idea.

Dammit.

Are you OK?

I need you to come

inside for a second.

Alright, I need you to reach

underneath that panel... okay.

Does your hand fit inside there?

Uh, I think so.

OK, look in there

tell me what you see.

Their's a mess in here.

Their's gonna be a circuit

breaker, in there somewhere.

OK. Their is like two ways to over

ride this auto pilot, and we lost one.

That is the other one.

Rick, I don't think I can do this.

You can OK. Just reach in

there and feel around.

Careful, careful, careful!

Ah! OK. OK, I think I found

the circuit breaker.

OK.

Oh my God Their's so many

switches. Which one is it?

OK, it's going to look different

than the other switches.

It's gonna either be color

coated or its going to

be a totally different

switch all together.

Do you see anything like that?

Yea, yea... I see it!

OK. I'm gonna do it.

Now!

That's not good.

We're losing fuel.

What, what. I'm sorry.

Grab the wheel.

- I can't!

- Yes you can.

Grab that. Yes you can.

You can do it OK.

Just relax. Hold on.

What is that?

I don't know what I'm doing?

It's OK, just... Ahh! God.

Uh, I'm sorry.

Just if something get's in

your way, then you turn, OK?

OK.

Rick!
