My transporter collided with the terrorist, but the terrorist was not dead. How is that possible?

The terrorist is fiendishly clever. He is always in one height level at the same time, but you do not know exactly in which height level he is. So if you collide with the terrorist in the correct height level, he will be dead.

My transporter touched down at the border of the landing area. But I was not able to pick up the passenger. How is that possible?

For picking up a passenger you have to touch down completely inside the landing area. So you have to increase your speed and touch down once more. If you wonder why you are not dead, here is the explanation: You die if you touch down completely outside the landing area. If you do not touch down completely inside or completely outside the landing area nothing will happen.
