1:05:48
The plane is missing, Kenny
1:05:51
We are presuming the pilot is dead
1:06:06
It's hard to believe with the Soviet
centralized command structure
1:06:11
that this could have been
an accidental launch
1:06:13
The question is, does this
attack on our plane represent
1:06:15
a definitive intentional escalation
on the part of the Soviets?
1:06:19
Mr. President
1:06:20
taken with the events
of the past few hours
1:06:23
I believe
this confirms our worst fears
1:06:25
We're now dealing with
a hard-line Soviet government
1:06:28
perhaps with Kruschev
as a puppet head, perhaps not
1:06:30
You okay?
1:06:31
Yeah
1:06:34
I'm fine
1:06:37
Mr. President
1:06:39
What now?
1:06:40
A U-2 on a routine
air- sampling mission got lost
1:06:42
and penetrated
Soviet airspace over Siberia
1:06:44
Oh, goddammit
1:06:46
The Soviets scrambled MIG's in pursuit
thinking it was a bomber
1:06:49
It got out okay
1:06:50
Somebody forgot to cancel the mission
1:06:52
There's always some sonofabitch
who doesn't get the word!
1:06:54
This is just what we need
1:06:57
the Soviets thinking
we're bombing them
