Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The fuel truck area is the operational hub for refueling and the later origin of the catastrophic spill; its placement beside the plane and tents turns routine logistics into a volatile hazard when collision occurs.
Practical and busy, then suddenly perilous and reeking of petroleum.
Source of fuel for the Flying Wing and the origin point of the environmental hazard.
Represents the logistical backbone of the Nazi operation and the danger inherent in militarized extraction.
Restricted to mechanics and crew under Gobler's direction; guarded in practice.
The fuel truck area is where refueling operations occur and where a collision ruptures a tank, producing the fuel slick that transforms the stage into a volatile hazard and complicates rescue attempts.
Practical logistical zone turned suddenly dangerous and combustible.
Source of fuel and the proximate site of the plane-truck collision
Shows how mundane resources (fuel) can become the vector for catastrophic escalation when militarized.
Restricted operational area manned by mechanics and under Gobler's direction.
