“Mr. President, we have lost control of some missiles in the west, we found out they have been requisitioned by some unit known as ECOMCON”.
(o)bama: We got to get the hell out of here pronto.

A whole launch control center out of commission

Aw hell, they could always launch from the airborne command post...as long as Obama hasn’t lost the launch codes like Clinton did.

This ought be investigated and if heads need to roll so be it. Those missiles should be ready to launch at a moments notice. There is no excuse for bases housing nuclear weapons suffer power outages.
To: Ramius
As an IT guy... all I can add is that, whatever they admit in the press the real situation was way worse.

I have always advocated that these bases have internal power sorces in case they lose outside power.
To: Eyes Unclouded
and who made the decision to go public with this?

I’m still wondering why the Minot loose arrow became public.
Part of Assuages’ workings?

We have that to a certain degree and its called SIOP.
To: ErnstStavroBlofeld
A spokesman for the command says investigators believe a faulty circuit board at a control center was to blame. The spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel John Thomas, says experts found that the same type of part failed at two other Air Force missile control centers in the late 1990s. So, if that is the case, it should be all of two minutes work to verify.
Right?

You are correct. I feel this is a bigger problem.

They don’t like Obama, either.

There are probably a lot of folks who have no idea what you’re talking about - I’m not one of them. But that probably isn’t the answer.

Aw hell, they could always launch from the airborne command post... A more relevant danger is that someone else launches them while authorities are scrambling. It doesn't have to be done remotely.
