"Terror in New York City" is the fourth episode of the first series of Thunderbirds, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Alan Fennell and directed by David Elliott and David Lane, it was first broadcast on ATV Midlands on 21 October 1965.
In this episode, International Rescue must save a reporter and his cameraman who are trapped underground following the collapse of the Empire State Building – without the help of a damaged Thunderbird 2.
Scott (voiced by Shane Rimmer) and Virgil Tracy (David Holliday) prepare to fly back to Tracy Island following a successful operation to extinguish an oil well fire in the desert. While Virgil returns Firefly to Thunderbird 2, TV news reporter Ned Cook and his cameraman, Joe, ignore Scott's earlier warning and film the lift-off of Thunderbird 1. The men believe that they hold the makings of an award-winning news story until Scott, having chased their vehicle from the air, uses an electromagnetic pulse to erase the illicit footage.
