A plane flew through the rainstorm to the crash area. Rain crazily beat against the plane. Brady was told the radio receiver had just gone out and they couldn’t contact the base at Attila Atoll.
“Better get it fixed. We’re going to need it.” He told his co-pilot, Tyler.
An hour later, they reached the location of the crash. Every eye in the plane was looking for a small yellow life raft.

And with two more men weighing down the plane, it was almost impossible to take off in weather like this.

“You...you didn’t get the message from the base radio? A huge wave hit Attila, and the base is under water.” one of the men stared at Brady.
Brady was shocked, “Our radio’
