Airplane vs Volcano Page #2

There's a little bit of movement in the wheel.

I might be able to force it to maneuver.

No chance of flying over

that thick ash cloud.

That will destroy our engines.

We're gonna have to ride it out.

Yeah.

And pray we don't get

any aftershocks.

Hey Tully! Wait up.

Thatch, what happened to you?

Breakfast in the

mess hall happened.

Yeah and what do I say?

I said don't eat the gravy.

It's biscuits and gravy. You can't

have one without the other.

Just don't let the old

man see you like this.

Look alive Tully! They're

calling all hands.

I overheard colonel Rhyker

mention a vulcanologist.

That doesn't make sense. What does

Rhyker want with a vulcanologist?

Guess will find out.

Do we have radar reading for 0600?

Not yet.

Well your input and information

will be useful Doctor.

If you can please fill in my Executive Officer

Livingston. We can send you on your way.

Aah-ten-hut!

As you were.

Sir,

Doctor Lisa Whitmore

called in the disaster.

Listen doc, if there were any volcanic

activity. We would already know all about it.

Sir, we are picking up reading

out there... It's big.

Is it a storm?

Excuse me Colonel but you

are not looking at a storm.

You are looking at

an eruption column.

What?

Kaula has been a dead volcanic island

for millions of years until now.

Colonel, my colleague was on

that island when it erupted.

Please let me help.

If you want to help, you can fill in my XO

with everything you know. Starting with...

How did this dead island

suddenly wake up?

My colleague had a similar theory.

Mt. Kilauea has not shown

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.
