The same thing is happening aboard The U.S.S. Coral Sea and other ships in the task force. Hillary watches in astonishment as a small airplane buzzes the carrier. The cessna banks, turns, and makes another pass less than 100 feet overhead. Once again, the small plane passes overhead, circling and an object tumbles to the deck. The Deck Boss picks up a woman' s pocketbook.
Sirens scream as a small red tractor with a foam gun wheels into position.
Crash crew personnel don their asbestos helmets. On deck, crewmen frantically push back to the sides the few aircraft left there. Hillary and her crew are unceremoniously hustled from the deck. Moments later they reappear on a walkway beneath the bridge. Next to Hillary is a Navy Commander.
