Command and Control [video]
&quot;...chronicle nine hours of terror that prevented an explosion 600 times more powerful than Hiroshima.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m calling out the film&#x27;s makers on that statement.  I challenge anyone to describe a situation whereby an ICBM with a leaky first stage could ever detonate the warhead in a manner resulting in such an explosion.  These things don&#x27;t go off when you drop them.  They don&#x27;t go off when you set them on fire.  They don&#x27;t go off when you surround them with explosives.  Getting a thermonuclear weapon to detonate requires hundreds of things to happen in a precise manner.  That cannot happen by accident.
