:27:00
before the radar tracking
stations can see
:27:02
if they've been pushed
to a safe course
:27:04
that'll bypass the Earth.
:27:06
So, one more time
we have to wait.
:27:28
Are we on?
:27:29
Cameraman: We're on,
Mr President.
:27:40
Our missiles have failed.
:27:44
The comets are
still headed for Earth...
:27:49
and there's nothing
we can do to stop them.
:27:54
So, this is it.
:27:57
If the world does go on...
:28:00
it will not go on
for everyone.
:28:03
We have now been able
to calculate
:28:06
the comets'
final trajectories,
:28:07
and we have determined where
they're going to strike.
:28:11
The smaller of the 2 comets,
Biederman, will hit first,
:28:15
somewhere along
the Atlantic Seaboard
:28:16
probably in the waters off
the coast of Cape Hatteras
:28:19
in just under 12 hours at
4:35 p.m. eastern daylight time.
:28:23
The impact of the comet
is going to be...
:28:27
Well, disastrous.
:28:30
There will be
a very large tidal wave
:28:32
moving quickly through
the Atlantic Ocean.
:28:34
It will be 100 feet high,
:28:36
travelling at
1,100 miles an hour.
:28:38
That's faster than
the speed of sound.
:28:41
As it reaches shallow water,
it's going to slow down,
:28:44
but the wave height,
:28:45
depending on the depth
of the shelf off the coast,
:28:47
will be anywhere from
1,000 to 3,500 feet high.
:28:52
Where the land is flat,
:28:54
the wave will wash inland
600 to 700 miles.
