:46:03
The plane is missing, Kenny
:46:06
We are presuming the pilot is dead
:46:21
It's hard to believe with the Soviet
centralized command structure
:46:25
that this could have been
an accidental launch
:46:27
The question is, does this
attack on our plane represent
:46:29
a definitive intentional escalation
on the part of the Soviets?
:46:33
Mr. President
:46:35
taken with the events
of the past few hours
:46:38
I believe
this confirms our worst fears
:46:40
We're now dealing with
a hard-line Soviet government
:46:43
perhaps with Kruschev
as a puppet head, perhaps not
:46:45
You okay?
:46:46
Yeah
:46:48
I'm fine
:46:52
Mr. President
:46:53
What now?
:46:54
A U-2 on a routine
air- sampling mission got lost
:46:57
and penetrated
Soviet airspace over Siberia
:46:59
Oh, goddammit
:47:01
The Soviets scrambled MIG's in pursuit
thinking it was a bomber
:47:04
It got out okay
:47:05
Somebody forgot to cancel the mission
:47:06
There's always some sonofabitch
who doesn't get the word!
:47:09
This is just what we need
:47:12
the Soviets thinking
we're bombing them
:47:18
Anybody else?
:47:19
Mr. President
:47:21
our pilots are in danger
:47:23
We must order punitive air strikes
against the SAM site
:47:27
that shot down Major Anderson
per our rules of engagement
:47:45
No
:47:48
I want confirmation
it wasn't some sort of accident first
:47:51
Mr. President
:47:51
Good idea, Mr. President
I can wait a day and half
:47:56
Be safer for my boys
to get the SAM's on Monday
:47:59
when we get the rest of the bastards
