"Thank-you, Maritza. I guess even International Rescue members have their boiling points." Ned smiled disarmingly into the camera. "Now back to Rae and Joe on the street. Rae..."

Rae nodded. "I'm standing here with Joe, Blanche and Tommy Carter. Two years ago, the Carter family was on a visit to the newly completed Thompson Tower just as the building was destroyed in an accident. I'm sure you all remember the circumstances surrounding that tragedy." She turned to Joe. "Sir, do you mind telling me what you remember about that day?"

The dark haired man smiled. "Sure. We had just gotten to the Tower when Tommy decided to play hide and seek while Blanche and I were trying to find him, the fire alarms went off. Before we could react, the fire doors slammed shut and we were locked in."

Blanche stepped forward. "I didn't think we were going to get out of there. No one knew where we were!"

"Easy, honey." Joe placed his arm around his wife's shoulders. "We tried to open the doors, but it was no use. We were trapped. We later found out that they could see us on the security cameras. International Rescue was called in, but before they could get there, the Tower collapsed."

Rae's eyes widened. "While you were still inside?"

Joe nodded. "Good thing for us, we were down in the tunnels."

"Then what happened?"

"It gets hazy after that. The heat and smoke were building up, the ceiling and walls were falling apart. Tommy here fell unconscious; that's when I thought it was over." Joe looked down at his son. "Then Blanche fainted." Joe shook his head. "I really thought we were goners..." His voice trailed off at the memory.

"You had no way to contact the outside?" Rae asked.

Joe shook his head again. "None. We were completely cut off. But suddenly, there was a strange sound. Then doors blew apart and there they were."

"International Rescue?"

"Yes," Joe nodded. "Two of their...operatives, I guess is the word. They got the three of us out and onto some kind of hover-craft. We were taken to this giant drilling machine and got out of the building just as it came down for good. He, the International Rescue man, gave Blanche and Tommy oxygen which revived them, then left us in the hands of the paramedics when we got to the outside." He pulled his family close. "Without them...I would have lost everything," Joe said hoarsely.

"I only wish I could have met them!" Tommy said wistfully.

Rae smiled down at the boy, then looked back up at his parents. "So, why are you here today?"

Blanche nodded towards the hospital. "When we heard about the accident on the news, we just had to come. They saved our lives. Showing our support is the least we could do," she said, with an angry glare towards the protesters.

Rae smiled and turned back to the camera. "There you have it folks. Another day saved, thanks to International Rescue. Ned, back to you..."
