Vehicle Bond is passenger in

Notes

Zorin's getaway vehicle where he plans to watch the earthquake he is going to start. Zorin catches Stacey and Bond hangs on for a flight over San Fransisco to the final battle on the top of Golden Gate bridge.

Earlier in the film we see Zorin meet his fellow contractors in his corporate Airship. This airship has a retracting staircase.
