:19:20
The plane is missing, Kenny
:19:23
We are presuming the pilot is dead
:19:38
It's hard to believe with the Soviet
centralized command structure
:19:43
that this could have been
an accidental launch
:19:45
The question is, does this
attack on our plane represent
:19:47
a definitive intentional escalation
on the part of the Soviets?
:19:51
Mr. President
:19:52
taken with the events
of the past few hours
:19:55
I believe
this confirms our worst fears
:19:57
We're now dealing with
a hard-line Soviet government
:20:00
perhaps with Kruschev
as a puppet head, perhaps not
:20:02
You okay?
:20:03
Yeah
:20:06
I'm fine
:20:09
Mr. President
:20:10
What now?
:20:12
A U-2 on a routine
air- sampling mission got lost
:20:14
and penetrated
Soviet airspace over Siberia
:20:16
Oh, goddammit
:20:18
The Soviets scrambled MIG's in pursuit
thinking it was a bomber
:20:21
It got out okay
:20:22
Somebody forgot to cancel the mission
:20:23
There's always some sonofabitch
who doesn't get the word!
:20:26
This is just what we need
:20:29
the Soviets thinking
we're bombing them
:20:35
Anybody else?
:20:36
Mr. President
:20:38
our pilots are in danger
:20:40
We must order punitive air strikes
against the SAM site
:20:44
that shot down Major Anderson
per our rules of engagement
