It was also the third injury to have occurred in filming for the show. Another stunt man, attempting to jump in the air while two cars sped under him, nearly ripped off his foot when it caught in a windshield; he had to have reconstructive surgery and is still in serious condition. Still another daredevil suffered severe burns and lost his hands in the course of running through a 50-yd. tunnel of fire. For this...

At Heathrow Airport, a fleet of three Ferraris sped the precious consignment to a nearby heliport, where a trio of off-duty Red Devil paratroopers and two choppers were standing by. The Devils jumped into the restaurant's car park, where they were met by chefs in running shoes, who sprinted with the birds to preheated ovens...

On that night-God and the striking Screen Actors Guild willing-the critically wounded body of John Ross Ewing Jr. will be sped to Dallas Memorial Hospital, and viewers will be given their first clues to a solution of the mystery: Who shot J.R.? Never in the history of cliffhanging narrative have so many people waited and speculated on the resolution of a plot twist.
