1:01:00
So farwe have been
unable to recall them.
1:01:07
Are the planes being flown
by crazy men?
1:01:11
We're not sure.
It might be a mechanical failure.
1:01:14
All I can tell you
is that it's an accident.
1:01:17
It's not an attempt to provoke war.
It's not part ofa general attack.
1:01:24
How do I knowyou do not have
hundreds ofother planes...
1:01:29
coming in so low
our radar cannot pick them up?
1:01:33
Because I hope to prove toyou
that it's an accident--
1:01:36
that we take full responsibility...
1:01:37
that we're doing everything we can
to correct it.
1:01:42
- Go on.
- You must have seen...
1:01:44
that we sent fighter planes
to shoot down the bombers.
1:01:49
American fighters
to shoot down American bombers?
1:01:52
That is correct.
1:01:55
- And you gave that order?
- I did.
1:02:00
How do I know that the planes
were not simply diving...
1:02:03
to a low altitude
to escape our radar?
1:02:07
On our plotting board, the action
could only be interpreted...
1:02:09
as planes out ofcontrol.
1:02:11
You have the same equipment we do.
What did it tell you?
1:02:16
It did not tell us what is
in your mind, Mr. President.
1:02:20
I'm telling you that.
1:02:23
And you ask me
to believeyou?
1:02:25
You must believe me.
1:02:28
You ask for belief
at a curious time.
1:02:30
Ifwe don't trust each other now,
Mr. Chairman...
1:02:32
there may not be
another time.
1:02:38
We sawyour planes
fall into the sea.
1:02:43
I wanted only
to hearyour explanation...
1:02:47
and whether it was done
atyour own order.
1:02:52
It is a hard thing to order men
to their death, is it not?
1:02:56
It is.
