yeah we're part of NASA.

Now N.E.O. Why is at the heart of

the space industry.

You're called N.E. O? Like Keanu in 'The Matrix'?

You are so cool!

I'm kidding.

Charlie, how are you?

- Brendan... - Any news of the family?

No, nothing, nothing yet. Come here,

let me show you.

- Excuse me, we're from... - Just one second.

...we're from NASA, we, we need immediate access

to the disaster zone,

there's some permits here for us apparently.

Anyone know anything about permits for NASA?

Be here all day.

Yes.

We need another airlift ASAP but...

the main supply route is blocked,

so if you can't get a runway slot

we'll have to do the food drop by parachute.

Excuse me sir, are you from FEMA?

I... well yeah, I'm just helping out with

the International Disaster Response...

Neil Gant, with NASA.

Adam right? You care to help out a compatriot?

Adam Gregorski, the FEMA guy,

secured us permits within the hour,

we made straight forthe centre of devastation.

We needed to analyse the debris left

by the Tsunami before...

it was disturbed by the clear up operation.

To the trained eye this wreckage held vital clues

to the origins of the N.E.O.

That had so taken us by surprise.

We'll build a map of the debris pattern,

we'll learn more about the wave.

And we'll start to get a handle on Rockall.

Three days ago those rocks were at

the bottom of the sea.

You know, 1,000 years from now people will come

here like this was the Irish Stonehenge,

and they'll be thinking "how did they get

the rocks up there?" huh?

Cliff height is about 72 feet so we know...

the wave was at least that high as

it hit the coast.

Maybe they'll think of it

as a monument to 8/8.

The wave spilled overthe cliff and scattered

the debris across a vast area.

The scatter pattern and the inclination of once

vertical structures would...

tell us the precise strength and direction

of the wave.

The pressure must have been massive.

Josh! There's someone here,

there's someone in here!

I've got her head.

We've gotta get to a hospital.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten, eleven...

Neil, there's no pulse.

Neil, is too late.

There's an e-mail from that air hostess,

she's managed to get hold of the radar data and

the exact flight co-ordinates.

We need to get it into the mapping programme.

- I'll do it when we get back. - Huh?

- I'll do it when we get back. - Fine.

Tsunami death toll rises...

Turn it off!

...authorities struggling to cope with the number

of bodies.

- Churches and schools are being used

- Please.

- As temporary mortuaries.

- Thank you.

Is been four days since the Tsunami hit.

The roads are full of mud and dirt left behind as
