Two other Fireflash craft - 3 and 4 - later went missing, disappearing without trace into the sea. And it worked - notwithstanding damage to Fireflash's nose as it scraped along Runway 29, as well as to the Elevator Cars themselves ( Trapped in the Sky). International Rescue - already monitoring the situation - arrived on the scene with a rescue plan, involving Elevator Cars to stabilize Fireflash's compromised undercarriage and to act as its landing gear.

The Hood had planted a bomb in the airliner's undercarriage, inhibiting its ability to land.
