When “M” needs to stop an atom bomb from exploding, she sends Bond and Dr. Christmas Jones to handle the job… They speed through a gas pipeline on an inspection 'pig' attempting to disarm the stolen A- bomb it contains They succeed in removing its plutonium core but its conventional explosives go on ticking, and they hop off the pig seconds before it explodes, blowing up 50 yards of the pipeline.
