Flight of the Phoenix Page #2

---

Okay.

Oh, God.

Come on!

We're in trouble here, A.J.

Check the map. Find the nearest

place we can set it down.

Lhugar's our best shot, but it's

300 miles south of the basin.

Maybe we can outrun it.

Lhugar radio, this is Amacore

Transport, 8-7-3-Bravo. Over.

Our location is approximately 40

degrees, nine minutes north latitude...

84 degrees, 42 minutes east longitude.

- Here we go.

- You puttin'the gear down?

Never get it back up again if we don't.

Any stations copy?

A.J., ready the passengers.

- Listen up. We got a major problem.

- Oh, God.

Looks like we have to

make an emergency landing.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Make sure you're strapped in.

And if you believe in God,

it's time you call in a favor.

Oh, God!

A.J.!

Come on, baby. Come on.

Oh, crap!

Oh, God!

Everybody okay?

Everybody okay?

A.J.?

A.J.!

- I'm okay.

- You all right?

Are you hurt?

Dr. Gerber's on board.

Where is he?

He's right here.

Jesus! Fire!

Hey! Hey, where do

you think you're going?

- I can't stay in here, man. I can't breathe!

- Hey!

That storm is blowin' a

hundred miles an hour out there!

It'll take your skin off before you

get five feet. Now sit down! Sit down!

Were you able to send a

mayday before we came down?

We got no response. The radio's down.

Someone's coming for

us though, right? Right?

Just as soon as the storm is over.

They know where to look for us?

We don't have the same kind of

radar tracking we have in the States.

- Oh, fantastic.

- And it's a big desert, isn't it?

We were, uh, due to refuel

in Langhu right about-

right about now, so it'll take

'em a couple of hours to miss us.

So for right now,

everybody just sit tight.

Conserve your oxygen.

Hey, Captain? Don't think

we don't know what you did.

Not many pilots, you

know, could've done that...

so... thank you.

Yes. Thank you, Captain.

Yeah!

It's like being in an hourglass.

I'm just a chef, but even I know ain't

no way a cell phone's gonna work out here.

Well, there's no harm

in trying, is there?

You never know. You never know.

I think the company man's losing it.

What the hell are you laughing

at? This is your fault!

- Why is it his fault?

- All that stuff about jinxes.

You can't talk like that sitting

in a plane on the bloody tarmac!

- You're the one who put the jinx on us.

- Oh, shut up.

What'd I tell you?

Bunch of zeroes.

Shouldn't somebody say somethin'?

Captain?

I don't think I'm the right person.

What the hell do they expect me to say?

I don't even know those guys.

Maybe to say you're sorry.

You're looking to join

those two? Keep it up.

So what's his story?

- Who, him?

- Yeah.

He just blew in one day.
