The city on the edge of forever

I was just wondering why when McCoy went back in time just the enterprise disappeared and not the landing party or any of their gear?

The Guardian of Forever is like the eye of the storm, so the area around the Guardian (probably the entire planet) is unaffected by the time displacement.

That's my interpretation, anyway.

Ahhh Very nice. I failed to think of that. Thank you for your input.

The same thing that kept the Enterprise E from disappearing when the "Borg Sphere" went back in time.
