Nicaraguan Canal

In 2067, the cruise liner President became jammed across the Nicaraguan Canal. On 24 August, the International Rescue craft Thunderbird 4 was pinned at the bottom the Canal after its pilot Gordon Tracy dived beneath the surface of the water to inspect the hull of the vessel.

While this happened, Nicaraguan troops moved into position ten miles away from the canal zone.
