Gold and Stein — The Jump

Gold and Stein, conscripted into the Russian Army. The Paratroopers.
Colonel Blotsov takes them to 6,000.
“I’m going to push you out.
When you land there will be a Jeep waiting for you.
Take it to front and report! Now, when I push you out, press green button!

Chute will open.

If chute doesn’t open, press red button.

Chute will definitely open. Now. Go!”

He pushes them out.
Gold and Stein push the green buttons.
Nothing.
Frantically, they push repeatedly on the red buttons.
Nothing.
They’re dropping like stones.
Gold yells to Stein: “Just you wait! There’ll be no Jeep down there either!”
