1:54:18
The plane is missing, Kenny
1:54:21
We are presuming the pilot is dead
1:54:36
It's hard to believe with the Soviet
centralized command structure
1:54:40
that this could have been
an accidental launch
1:54:42
The question is, does this
attack on our plane represent
1:54:44
a definitive intentional escalation
on the part of the Soviets?
1:54:48
Mr. President
1:54:50
taken with the events
of the past few hours
1:54:52
I believe
this confirms our worst fears
1:54:55
We're now dealing with
a hard-line Soviet government
1:54:57
perhaps with Kruschev
as a puppet head, perhaps not
1:55:00
You okay?
1:55:01
Yeah
1:55:03
I'm fine
1:55:06
Mr. President
1:55:08
What now?
1:55:09
A U-2 on a routine
air- sampling mission got lost
1:55:12
and penetrated
Soviet airspace over Siberia
1:55:14
Oh, goddammit
1:55:15
The Soviets scrambled MIG's in pursuit
thinking it was a bomber
1:55:18
It got out okay
1:55:20
Somebody forgot to cancel the mission
1:55:21
There's always some sonofabitch
who doesn't get the word!
1:55:24
This is just what we need
1:55:26
the Soviets thinking
we're bombing them
1:55:32
Anybody else?
1:55:34
Mr. President
1:55:35
our pilots are in danger
1:55:38
We must order punitive air strikes
against the SAM site
1:55:42
that shot down Major Anderson
per our rules of engagement
