Starting with the swift flight of an airplane over the Himalaya Mountains, the drama never for a moment loses momentum until its thrilling climax. It starts and ends with a crash—the crash of aviators in the opening episode and the crash of bombs in the rescue scene at the end. SCENES NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN BY PI CTU'RBGO ERS.
