Brave Hearts: Umizaru Page #3

Don't worry about me.

I see why you're long-time buddies.

Too alike.

Shima...

where are your feelings, then?

I leave them at home.

Mobilize all fire and rescue teams.

Prepare for emergency landing on Runway C.

All fire trucks stand by in case it crashes

into surrounded buildings.

G-Wing Flight 206 out of Sydney

is facing engine trouble...

and is approaching Haneda airport.

All other flights have been diverted

for the time being...

with only Runway A open for takeoffs.

Haneda Airport Runway C

The Wind's strong.

About 20 knots from the northeast.

There it is!

Please get in a crouch position.

Follow the emergency card.

Grab the seat firmly, head down.

Let me tighten that for you.

You're going to be fine.

Keep your hand and forehead close to seat.

Landing gear down!

Flight 206 is in view!

Can you see it?

Altitude 500 feet!

Wind speed still 20 knots.

You sure you want to force a landing?

Final decision's up to the pilot.

If he thinks he can land it, we let him.

Coming in for landing.

Landing gear's not all out!

Control balance.

Captain, accelerate.

It reads landing gear down.

We can't trust that.

What now?

Confirming details. Await

further instructions.

Hungry?

Donuts!

Donuts, huh? Let's go find some.

Airplane accident?

Oh no.

No word on a landing attempt.

The plane carrying 346 passengers

is still in flight circling.

Word is they've less than

The mood is very tense.

Mika.

No landing gear?

The pilot, Muramatsu,

says he's tried everything.

My God.

How do we land it?

Remaining fuel?

But can it fly that long?

It'll have to be a belly landing.

On the body?

Right on the runway.

It's a jumbo jet!

With right landing...

...gear down?

The fuselage will break up.

There'll be huge casualties.

That's not a "landing."

It's a "crash"!

You want them to fly

until they runs out of gas?

Everyone will perish if

we don't bring it down!

What if we land it in Tokyo Bay?

We'll at least avoid a collision

with buildings and fires.

Maybe minimize casualties.

A sea landing?

Can it be done?

In 2009...

A US Airways flight did

it on the Hudson River.

Everyone was saved.

Boats happened to be nearby.

Even if successful,

a jumbo would sink in 20 minutes.

And plunge right to the bottom of the bay.

We set the landing coordinates

and wait there...

commencing rescue immediately.

Fire, police and Coast Guard divers

could do it in 15 minutes.

What other way is there

to save those 346 people?

Where do you propose?

Someplace away from chemical plants.

And away from any vessel paths.

In a southwesterly direction.

We need an aerial landmark.

Here.

The Umihotaru manmade island.

We can mobilize rescue

units there in an hour.

We don't have an hour.

No?

It'll be too dark

for a sufficient visual.

The pilot must be able to see the water.

It'll be suicide.

Can't a rescue be set up sooner?

We're out of options.

A belly landing?

Why not a sea landing?

It would avoid buildings.

That alternative was rejected.

By the time we get rescue in place,

it would be too dark.

I see.

Can't we do anything?

We can continue to stand by.

They've decided to land on Runway D.

We're to prepare

for the plane overrunning the strip.

A one-mile perimeter northeast of Runway D.

We're embarking now.

Haneda Runway D...

Captain.

What Senzaki?

Water visibility, right?

You need to be prepared

for fires in a runway belly landing.

To minimize that...

you'll need to use up as

much fuel as possible.

Understood.

Hold on. Chief! Special ops on site.

Talk directly to Chief Shimokawa.

Shimokawa here.

Senzaki here, Sir.

Senzaki.

How about building a

runway for sea visibility?

A runway?

We light up the water.

Guide lights visible from the air.

Guide lights.

Then we can delay Flight 206's landing.

And have time to get a rescue in place.

Daisuke.

Is that possible?

A jumbo needs 900 meters

of approach lights.

And 2 kilometers of runway lights.

to place in the water, Senzaki.

Flight 206 only has fuel to fly another hour.

Is it possible?

It was you who told me not to give up

if there's even a glimmer of hope.

Let us do this, Chief.

We'll make it happen.

A sea landing it is.

Captain Muramtsu.

If you'll make the lights,

I agree that is our best hope.

Let us land on water.

Water landing!

We land it on water!

Senzaki, go build a runway.

Sir!

Gather all lighted buoys.

I'll return to special ops base.

Get all patrol boats to the landing point.

And keep all other vessels out of the area.

Police departments

are at the Coast Guard's service.

Thank you. We'll need your support.

Assemble medics.

Get data on past water landings.

Jumbo in the water.

Approach lights 900m in length,

Runway lights 60 meters apart,

That's about 200 lights.

We don't have nearly enough.

Borrow from fire,

police and Self-Defense forces.

The current is fast out there.

It'll be hard to keep them aligned.

Put anchors on all buoys.

Patrol boats will lay them.

We'll readjust the strays.

But we're racing the clock.

With today's current, the

fishing will be good.

Excuse me!

Stay in port today!

- Stay in port?

- Please.

Why?

A jumbo jet is making

an emergency water landing.

A jumbo?

Yes, a jumbo.

This is the Coast Guard.

All vessels must evacuate...

Can't do it.

This boat is anchored to this spot.

The generator shorted.

Can we see?

We pull up the anchor and tug it in.

There's no time.

We've no choice.

Assemble your crew.

Here you go!

Hurry! It's not enough!

More buoys.

Fire department equipment

will be here in 5.

Listen calmly.

We'll be landing in Tokyo Bay.

On water?

Do your best to keep everyone calm.

We can't have them panic.

L3 understood.

L4 understood.

This is Captain Muramatsu.

Due to a landing gear

and control malfunction...

a standard airport landing is not possible.

On my decision, we will attempt

to land on water in Tokyo Bay.

Please remain calm.

Please stay calm and listen.

But this is no cause for despair.

The Coast Guard will be waiting

for us when we land.

They've promised to rescue you all.

And I promise to land

this plane properly...

and return you safely to your families.

So please listen to the attendants

and remain calm.

Yoshioka! We fly in 5!

I proposed to Mika, you know.

She turned me down flat.

Can't marry, she said.

I see.

But I want her to be happy.

I need her to live and be happy,

even without me.

Yoshioka.

Daisuke.

Miracles happen, right?

We'll save them all, right?

We Will.

We'll save them all.

That's what those 346 passengers

are expecting of us.

L2 Buoy is off the line.

Move it to mid-point of L1 and L3.

Hooking up monitor!

Chief, Chiba riot police have brought

more waterproof lights.

Special ops divers are planting them now.

Any boats still in the area?

Six, Sir. One with engine trouble.

Get it moved.

It won't budge.

We won't make it.

Don't give up. Again!

Hold on, Taiyo. I'll make you something.

Let me confirm this.
