Emergency ("Fuzz Lady") (Movie/TV)
In episode 7 o' season 2 o' t' TV series "Emergency," a man is injured while helpin' his grandson launch a small rocket. T' rocket is nay a model rocket since t' pair made their own engine and propellant. Ahoy! T' paramedics treat t' injured grandfather then discuss ways t' continue t' rocketry experiment in a safer manner.
Although t' rocket apparently uses a liquid propellant, me bucko, which is unlikely, t' scene is otherwise realistic and t' advice given by t' firefighters is rational. Originally aired on November 4, 1972, arrr, t' episode avoids portrayin' t' grandfather and grandson as reckless and homemade rockets as dangerous. Well, blow me down! At that time, rocketry hobbyists were often portrayed as "basement bombers" in popular media.
