Nothing like this has happened, EVER! And to think the command would not listen to the airmen reporting the incident! What the hell? I'd really hate to be Lt. Col. Paul Wheeless...

Again, it's just STRANGELOVE 2007!!!

President Merkin Muffley:
"General Turgidson, I find this very difficult to understand. I was under the impression that I was the only one in authority to order the use of nuclear weapons."

General "Buck" Turgidson:
"That's right, sir, you are the only person authorized to do so. And although I, uh, hate to judge before all the facts are in, it's beginning to look like, uh, General Ripper exceeded his authority."

President Merkin Muffley:
"You're talking about mass murder, General, not war!"

General "Buck" Turgidson:
"Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks."

6 Nuclear weapons go 'off the reservation' for 13.5 hours and we are supposed to feel SAFE... Make that 'fail safe!!!'
