1:41:02
We'll go with them.
1:41:07
Okay?
1:41:15
What the hell.
There's nothing to go home to anyway.

1:41:29
General Stark, are there any papers
or documents in New York...

1:41:33
which are absolutely essential
to the running ofthe United States?

1:41:39
General Stark?
1:41:42
No, sir.
1:41:44
There are
important documents, but...

1:41:46
none ofthem
absolutely essential.

1:41:50
Will there be anywarning given?
1:41:53
A lot oflives could be saved
ifpeople had a few minutes.

1:41:56
On short notice, an alert to a big city
would do more harm than good.

1:42:00
All you'd produce is panic.
1:42:04
What about this?
1:42:17
Maybe--
1:42:19
Maybe he doesn't know
his wife is there.

1:42:23
He knows.
1:42:31
Gentlemen, we are wasting time.
1:42:35
I've been making
a few rough calculations...

1:42:37
based on the effect
oftwo 20-megaton bombs...

1:42:40
dropped on New York City
in the middle ofa normal workday.

1:42:44
I estimate the immediate dead
at about three million.

1:42:47
I include in this figure those buried
beneath the collapsed buildings.

1:42:51
Wouldn't make any difference,
Admiral Wilcox...

1:42:53
whether they reached
a shelter or not.

1:42:55
Theywould diejust the same.
1:42:58
Add another million or two
who'll die within about five weeks.
