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.

1:43:04
Are immediate problem would be thejoint
one offire control and excavation.

1:43:08
Excavation not ofthe dead.
The effort would be wasted there.

1:43:12
Even though there are no irreplaceable
government documents in the city...

1:43:15
many ofour largest corporations
keep their records there.

1:43:19
It will be necessary to...
1:43:24
rescue as many
ofthose records as we can.

1:43:33
Our economy depends on this.
1:43:41
Our economy depends on this.

''And the Lord said,'' gentlemen...
1:43:54
'''he who is without sin...
1:43:57
let him cast the first stone.'''
