Thunderbirds 01x11 Brink Of Disaster part 6

[QBJ88]

What does F.A.B mean?

[quizmaster85]

@QBJ88 International Rescue's way of saying "Acknowledged" or something along those lines, even though we'll never really know what F.A.B. actually stands for.

[BladeRunerUnit99S]

@quizmaster85 what google serves for, people?? equivalent to modern 10-4 meaning Fully Acknowledged and Briefed

[quizmaster85]

@BladeRunerUnit99S Well, there's no "official" definition of what it means (even Sylvia Anderson admitted it stood for "absolutely nothing") so I stand by what I said.

[BladeRunerUnit99S]

@QBJ88 equivalent to modern 10-4 meaning Fully Acknowledged and Briefed

"If you do what I tell you, there may still be hope for you suckers."

[trespire]

And the moral of this story is: Never use self exploding concrete in a civil engineering project. :-o

[Cpt50Caliber]

"I'm going to try and push you back......it's not the brightest idea i've ever had but we'll see what happens"

[MrEdboy10]

lowering crabs! shit jordon is still around in 2065!



[L2THB]

4:15 WHAT GOES ON??

[Naylte]

Grafton should be grateful he just got put in gaol. >:)

[diegs20]

Scott's voice is so iconic

[magicelliotth]

@diegs20 too true.

Shane Rimmer who voiced Scott appeared in a Bond film once and as soon as I heard him talk I thought-that's GOT to be Scott T!!

[LittleAngel1977]

@magicelliotth Ha, yeah that happened to me too.

[Bladerunner93]

"....You see, Mr. Tracy, by agreeing to run an oil pipeline through the train track..."

[HitcherThunder]

The bridge falling with the train on-top, should of been far more bigger. It cuts from a wide shot of the bridge snapping in two, with carriages on either side, to a shot where it's obvious the special effects guys are just dropping dust and the odd piece of wood. Where's the train and bridge gone; vanished into thin air?

[JumpMax]

i acually don't care why everything allways explodes in almost every episode

i allways loved it as child and it certainly gave some good thrills and omg moments!

[RandomTask3000]

The FOOLS!! Why did they build the bridge out of dynamite? WHY??

[Starman117]

I wouldn't bet on Grafton going to jail just for the crash. His monorail has no more loop holes or flaws than every other engineering project in Thunderbirds. I'm thinking Fireflash that can only stay in the air for about 3 hours before everyone aboard dies of radiation poisoning or the Empire state building collapsing because no one did a survey of the ground they would move it too or thompson towers sprinkler systems and vent seals failing.  I bet he only ended up in jail for the robberies.

[FlippieX]

thx for uploading this episode!

[RyouRan]

At 4:22 Virgil looks a bit like he actually HEARD that "Are they tryin' to murder us or somethin'?" from Crafton.

[HalfBlood2000J]

@RyouRan

That's Scott

[RyouRan]

@HalfBlood2000J The guy at 4:22 is Virgil with his angry head, right? You can see part of his yellow sash.

[Teobi1]

At 1:56, scott "Oh no!"

I'm sure that's not what he meant to say...XD

[NathanF11989]

What were those two guys in the helijet still hanging around for if they were dead certain the train couldn't be stopped? Did they want to watch people die?

[ecxpac]

Has anyone noticed that both Scott and Virgil are wearing their hats whilst flying in this episode, but in other eps they alternate between not wearing them at all, or only one (usually Scott) wearing a hat? xD

[thebladezmanII]

6:58 if only people like that were put in jail...... Sadly our government will find ways of bailing them out of it just for money!

[Firemarioflower]

thats the same clamps as used in " End of the Road"

[SuperDooperVideoBoy]

I think why the bridge keeps on exploding its because the bridge has power lines.

[teenageatheist]

Lady Penelope pwned them :')

[edwardtheblueengine1]

In't it weird that when the bridge explodes , but the train doesn't when it hits the bottom of the revine

[mukatuna]

The train probably didn't explode because of budget restrictions. The bridge sure did enough exploding long before the train arrived though.

What gets me is why the undamaged end of the bridge keeps on exploding as well.

[f1baker]

in this format of supermarionaton thunderbirds will never age (unlike its live action sister :()

[Zeick87]

In 2065 they build bridges from explosive materials. :)

[IonicGell200]

they build EVERYTHING from explosive materials!

[7677890]

What I never got was what was actually exploding.

[runawayfreak]

@7677890 maybe fuel rods? or electric battery's?

[JoshBronzewyrm]

@7677890 Certain metals can suddenly give way under pressure, exploding, like glass. No fire, though. That's just the firecracker special effects:P

[HitcherThunder]

@7677890 I always thought, when it the heli-jet crashed into it, and there was a shot of the lines and signals on the bridge being electrocuted, that it just sent a shockwave across the bridge, and one spark led to another. But I see what you mean.

[AaronIzzard]

Virgil always has to do the heard work scott just sits on the sidelines doing sod all.

[mukatuna]

Scott is supervisor plus health & safety, so he will stand around doing sod all leaving Virgil to do all the grunt work.

[teenageatheist]

That's not always true. Scott does get his hands dirty sometimes. Like in 'City of Fire'.

[Valkyrie116]

Attack of the Alligators too i think

[florgeysteve]

Pit of peril and a few others aswell.

[f1baker]

6:58 onwards lol
