wedged into a tortured maze of hydraulics and equipment, we find the chief, operating out of an air-pocket near the windscreen. the pilot is dead, impaled on his cyclic stick, head submerged. the co-pilot is still alive, barely. the chief struggles to keep the man's head up as he keys a survival radio.
the chief sizes up his air pocket.
swimming in his own blood, the chief starts to fade away, losing consciousness. but then, through the cockpit windscreen.
 and surface inside the wreckage.
