Description:

At NORAD launch detection satellites detect the launch from the Soviet Union. It is apparently a Soviet FIRST-strike and within minutes President Reagan is evacuated from the UN reception at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City via "Marine-1" to the Boeing E-4B Nightwatch called NEACP (National Emergency Airborne Command Post). He arrives twenty minutes later and the aircraft takes off at about 20:09. En route, the President is informed by Secretary of Defense Weinberger and the NORAD generals that the launch is confirmed and that it was total. Reagan gives the launch codes and orders a full retaliatory strike, including "city-buster" missile attacks from the American submarine fleet.
