Bomb Crater

Jagged pit blasted into the coastal road by a Messerschmitt's bomb, the Bomb Crater hurls Indy and Henry's car off the pavement onto the adjoining deserted Mediterranean beach. Churned earth smokes amid twisted asphalt, sand encroaches at the edge, and waves crash nearby as the stranded duo crouches exposed, engine stalled and ammunition gone, with the pursuing fighter roaring overhead.
