1:00:02
I'm calling you
on a matter ofgreat urgency.
1:00:06
I hope it turns out
to be a small matter...
1:00:09
but it's the first time
it's happened.
1:00:11
Ifit's misunderstood,
it could be--
1:00:13
Does it have to do
with the aircraft...
1:00:16
we have detected
flying towards Russia?
1:00:18
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
1:00:22
I suppose it's another ofyour
off-course reconnaissance flights.
1:00:29
Mr. President,
we have warned you repeatedly...
1:00:32
that this constant flying
ofarmed aircraft--
1:00:34
This is a serious mistake.
1:00:37
I say, it's a mistake.
1:00:43
Verywell.
Tell me the mistake.
1:00:46
A group ofour bombers each loaded
with two 20-megaton bombs...
1:00:50
is flying towards your country.
1:00:55
We shall watch with great interest...
1:00:58
whileyou recall them.
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.
