2. The Aircraft Goes Down — During a training mission over open water, the aircraft crashes. Both men eject by parachute and reach the aircraft's rubber raft.
3. Injured in the Raft — Carl survives unharmed, but Jens is severely injured. Their forced proximity turns the raft into a shared survival space.
4. A Rescue Without Hope — A rescue operation begins, but the aircraft's emergency transmitter is disabled. The lack of a signal makes locating the survivors unlikely.
