INT OF THE PLANE - MONTAGE. CU Compass in the plane. Cockpit of the small plane, where the compass starts behaving erratically. BRIAN grabs for their maps as guidance. MARK has one hand on the controls and with the other is shaking open a map, a frantic look on his face. BRIAN's slender hands can be seen fluttering in now and then, trying to help open the map.
MARK
"We lost control, first the compass went crazy ... "
THE SKY - MONTAGE. We see the stars in the sky and moon sliding across the sky just before wind sheers hit the plane, as though either the sky or the earth were on the move.
MARK
"Then the sky started to dance around..."
EXT - COASTAL CITY/TIDAL WAVE IN PROFILE - MONTAGE. Large coastal city seen from a point out on the water, in profile and at a distance so that both the water and city have half the view. The water begins to rise on the water edge side of the scene, then raises rapidly so we see a huge wave as tall as some of the sky scrapers moving toward the city. The wave moves steadily, as water does.
MARK
"The last thing we heard was the radio announcer, screaming"
ANNOUNCER
"... it's coming... "Oh my God, we're all going to drown" (the radio goes dead).
