The group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve a map from Charlie with the arks' location. As they leave, the [[Yellowstone Caldera]] erupts; Charlie is killed while covering the eruption. The group lands in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]] to find a larger plane and meet Yuri, his twin sons Alec and Oleg, his girlfriend Tamara and their pilot Sasha.

THE PLANE IS CLEARLY SHOWN ONSCREEN AS BEING A FICTIONAL 500 AND NOT THE REAL LIFE 250. http://www.cinesargentinos.com.ar/noticia/1860-avion-de-cinesargentinos-com-en-2012/ --> as the Yellowstone ash cloud envelops Las Vegas.

 

 

As Jackson's group reaches China, their plane runs out of fuel. Sasha continues flying the plane as the others escape in a [[Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005)|Bentley Continental Flying Spur]] stored in the cargo hold. Sasha is killed when the plane slides off a cliff. The others are spotted by [[People's Liberation Army Air Force|Chinese Air Force]] helicopters. Yuri and his sons, who have tickets, are taken to the arks leaving Tamara (who Yuri did not buy a ticket for as he suspected she was having an affair with Sasha), Gordon and the Curtis family. The remaining group is picked up by Nima and brought to the arks with his grandparents. With Tenzin's help, they stow away on Ark 4, where the U.S. contingent is located. As a megatsunami breaches the Himalayas and approaches the site, an [[impact driver]] lodges in the ark-door gears, keeping a boarding gate open, which prevents the ship's engines from starting. In the ensuing chaos, Gordon and Tamara are killed. Yuri is killed as well when saving his children. Tenzin is injured, the ark begins filling with water and is set adrift. Jackson and Noah dislodge the tool and the crew regains control of the Ark before it strikes [[Mount Everest]]. Jackson is reunited with his family and reconciles with Kate.
