28 cans need to be replaced.
873
00:40:52,953 --> 00:40:56,122
I don't think these ever
really turn.
874
00:40:56,189 --> 00:40:58,458
The dates are just there
to get you to buy more.
875
00:40:58,525 --> 00:40:59,936
Well, if you want them,
they're yours.
876
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:03,530
The Pentagon
under congressional prodding...
877
00:41:03,597 --> 00:41:05,866
Thank you.
I'll bring these to the church.
878
00:41:05,932 --> 00:41:07,200
Back U. S. nuclear bases...
879
00:41:07,267 --> 00:41:09,970
Now I want you to try
and put yourself to bed.
880
00:41:10,036 --> 00:41:14,207
All right? I'll be up
in a moment to check on you.
881
00:41:14,274 --> 00:41:16,109
The earlier lower casualty
estimates...
882
00:41:16,176 --> 00:41:17,944
Good night, Willie.
Good night, Anne.
883
00:41:18,011 --> 00:41:19,321
Pentagon thought was
the most likely method
884
00:41:19,345 --> 00:41:20,681
of Soviet attack.
885
00:41:20,747 --> 00:41:25,085
It was estimated up
to 21,700,000 Americans
886
00:41:25,151 --> 00:41:27,163
would die in such an attack,
depending on the size...
887
00:41:27,187 --> 00:41:28,288
[door opens and closes]
888
00:41:28,354 --> 00:41:29,890
of the bombs
and prevailing winds.
889
00:41:29,956 --> 00:41:32,192
But an attack
on the Whiteman Air Force Base
890
00:41:32,258 --> 00:41:34,928
in Missouri would kill
up to 10 million
891
00:41:34,995 --> 00:41:38,298
because fallout would be carried
to densely populated areas
892
00:41:38,364 --> 00:41:40,100
such as St. Louis.
893
00:41:40,166 --> 00:41:42,302
Other attacks would produce
fallout patterns
894
00:41:42,368 --> 00:41:44,905
covering many states
and millions of people.
895
00:41:44,971 --> 00:41:48,509
The estimated nearly
22 million deaths pertains only
896
00:41:48,575 --> 00:41:51,878
to an limited Russian attack
on military targets only.
897
00:41:51,945 --> 00:41:53,580
