3:01 that looks like the Firefly was doing a victory dance :)

This one of sweetest TV-shows ever made. This episode though makes you shiver due to the scenario - I often say the fucking Terrorists had so much "inspiration" what to do (Armageddon,Godzilla etc.) so maybe Hollywood is a little bit to "blame" if you look at it from this angle.

@renegade202 War in Iraq for the oil? Uh, no. And why should I watch a "fact-based film" that on it's face isn't?

[linuslillen01]

@renegade202 for being made 40 years before the attacks, it sure makes one think.

@Bammer2001 This is actually from what Scott says, "The only good publicity is no publicity."

[barthoedemaker]

I asked my dad about this, he also grew up with this back in the 60's, he said at that time they saw the show as something from the very future...but in 1969 a real rocket launched to the moon. What have we become today>?!!!!

[AnaiBendai]

These episodes are gold. Just pure gold.

[renegade202]

it ironic that first scene in TERROR IN NEW YORK CITY take place in OIL well (War in Iraq for the oil)

2 disaster scenes in this episode is almost related to 9/11

1. unidentified aircraft heading to New York

2. two men trapped in the wreckage of the NYC trademark building, about to be crushed by the falling building next it (watch the fact-based film 'World Trade Center')

you do know Jeff could have sued them, but htat would mean revealing he is part of it

or, he could pretend to be International rescues liason to the government or something like that

[virgil2tracyTB2]

@quizmaster85 true but how come he is always the one they piss off and they never seem to annoy virgil, gordon or alan, or john on the rare occasion he is in a mission

[virgil2tracyTB2]

wait.. why is it that thunderbirds 1 and 2 are shot down at some point in the series, and thunderbird 3 never has any trouble- except for being in a airless vacum,

i think that it's not fair the most used thunderbirds are always attacked

[TalonMercenary]

i used to watch this episode so much i knew it nearly off by heart lol

[TheSunflowerguy]

HELP THUNDERBIRD 2!

[mpj1110]

Does anyone remember the video of this episode called 'Countdown to Disaster', with 'Atlantic Inferno' attatched to the end? That had an awesome intro, and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone upload it, or post a link as to where I can watch it please?

[FatMucnher]

PS Scott looks like a puppet version of Matt Damon. With dark hair :P

[FatMucnher]

Amazing soundtrack xD

[Maltray]

[quizmaster85]

[VGRetro]

@LittleAngel1977 Absolutely.

[LittleAngel1977]

@DAN44100 Haha, I'm glad you said that. Me too, although its been a long time since I've watched the episodes themselves having watched them so many times as a kid. I've forgotten a lot of the plots. I don't think I ever had a favourite episode but my favourite character was always (and still is!) Virgil. :-) Good luck with your series. I shall look out for it.

[LittleAngel1977]

@VGRetro Worth every penny though!
