alternate crimson tide

in otl
xo of the alabama lt. hunter (denzel washington) at the last moment stops captain ramsey (gene hackman) from launching a nuke strike against vladivostok at the last possible moment by removing the captains missle key saftey override

lets say the xo is 5 seconds too late and captain ramsey manages to launch a single missle from the missle control room aimed at the vladivostok naval area. all others missles would still be preveneted by removing the key

what are the consequences... can the hotline or anyone stop total nuke war
 
I would think that Richard P. Henrick would be furious with Hollywood altering his story so much. It would be a bit of a downer of an ending and will probably result in lesser take at the box office.
 
?Shouldn't this be in the Books/Media Forum?


I forget what year this is suppose to be..:confused::confused:
I don't see any of OTL's president Nuking Portland -AKA NY in Failsafe - in response to accidental Nuking of Vladivostok.
As such Goodbye Civilization.
