In Terror in New York City, Virgil is on his way back from an oil well fire, when Thunderbird 2 comes under attack by the U.S. Navy, putting the craft out of action for several weeks.

Oil Well Fire[]

International Rescue are called when an oil well burns out of control. Scott oversees the operation from the nearby gantry, while Virgil in the Firefly fires a charge into the base of the fire to extinguish the flames.

Shot Down in Flames[]

On the way back to Tracy Island, Virgil comes under attack by the U.S. Navy, putting Thunderbird 2 out of action for several weeks. While repairs are being undertaken, two reporters are trapped beneath the ruins of the Empire State Building. Rescuing them would normally be no trouble with Thunderbird 2's equipment, but more unorthodox methods must now be used instead...

Emergency Landing[]

Thunderbird 2 is attacked by missiles launched from the U.S.N. Sentinel. The giant craft is hit and badly damaged, and only narrowly avoids crashing into the sea. Virgil struggles to coax his stricken Thunderbird to a crash-landing on Tracy Island. He is not badly hurt, but TB2 will be out of action for weeks.

The Moving of the Empire State Building[]

An injured Virgil watches the moving of the Empire State Building on television from his sickbed, with Gordon for company.
