Aboard the Copter Watchdog

Along with General Peters, Ralph oversaw the testing of the new US Army's all-terrain Sidewinder in an army helicopter, codenamed "copter watchdog"

Disaster Strikes

The Sidewinder had stopped in a clearing in the jungle, that in fact a second world war dumping ground for unwanted military equipment. A crust of earth had formed over the top and spontaneous combustion had caused the wreckage in the pit to burn up. The weight of the Sidewinder was too much for the ground and it caved in taking the Sidewinder with it. Sweeney and his crew were trapped 300 feet below ground.

General Peters organize a rescues attempt, but after two men are badly burnt, he calls in International Rescue for help.
