Well they did put some vehicles out of commision and anything with a "link" to the outside world that was not protected. That was what they were to do, to break all communications down with the outside world. Divide and conquer in small sections to win the war. I wonder how many of the EMP's were sent out? More than likely to wherever they think there are people remaining.

I was wondering about that too. One high altitude nuclear blast would send out an EMP that would disrupt everything for about 1500 mile radius. Or was it just an EMP weapon?

we have nukes now upgraded enough that only a few would be needed to blackout the whole country. Trust me people we have gotten rid of the Russian killers and upgraded to some pretty scary stuff. When Rumsfeild said we would blow Afganistan back to the stone age, he was not blowin' smoke. Three titium laced nukes would easily destroy the entire south east, unlike Jerricho, no body would survive the fall out

I am not sure where they were headed or even if they would make it due to the guidance system design on Peace Keeper Missile's. It is such a fragile system to be betting your security on.

The ICBMs appeared to have been launched SOUTH, which is highly unusual, as a strike on Russia or China, the "obvious" enemies, would have been north, over the North Pole. Maybe they were aimed at Hugo Chavez in Venezuela?

All Peacekeepers are decommissioned. Only Minutemen IIIs are operational, with very updated guidance systems.

"Anybody remember the EMP burst that knocked out power and communications? We saw airborne missiles and have never heard a thing about them since."Yes, everyone! I've even heard that ONE EMP over Chicago could knock out communications in most of the country. ONE. 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Deploying one over Kansas will disrupt all unprotected circuits in the continental United States. Fallout is a result of debris being sucked into the mushroom cloud. An air burst would greatly diminish the fallout, and that fallout would have been brought down relatively quickly by the rain producing storm over Denver. ICBM Direction: From the center of Kansas Wyoming is ENE. This mean the missiles were headed north. Most likely over the pole to hit a target on the other side. China is roughly 6700 miles over the pole, and NK is about 5800. 4 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

The missiles then went from left to right, or south to north. 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

If the Chinese hit us with an EMP, then why send us a generator? One could assume that Jericho was not chosen out of all possible venues to be the recipient of the ONLY generator they sent! And nobody died from the chocolate or other foodstuffs that were consumed before the rightful mayor could stop them. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

It maybe that NK attacked us and that China is trying to help us, because they are afraid of the other 5,000 nuke we could send at them from the sea. We still do not know if there was a seaborne response to this attack. 2 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

But we did see a return volley of missiles go off the night of the big town steak party and the EMP. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"I wouldn't pu ttoo much stock in the response. Most likely it is a plot device for the show. "It was an extremely delayed response anyway, several days after the attacks. I don't remember how many but I'm sure one of you buffs knows! Could it have been triggered by the incoming missile that threw the EMP? If we KNEW who did it and our forces were still capable of deploying missiles then we know they survived in their hard underground silos. All the bombs in the U.S. cities were ground-detonated rather than flown in so I guess they didn't know where to hit at the time but THEN THEY DID. I'm sure it is a plot device but they still have to explain it. I thought I had them at first because I couldn't comprehend WHY the bombs went off with no advanced warning, no sirens, no EAS alerts on television, etc. HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THE NUMBER OF DOUBLE-DIAL, OLD FASHIONED TELEVISIONS WITH A VHF AND UHF DIAL ON THE FRONT? The only television made less than 25 years ago is the big-screen in the bar! 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Dec 2 2006, 10:09 PM EST
Well it does seem that they are WAY out of the way. The bar has satalite hooked to it. NOT EVERYWHERE in the US has cable. I think it was just a few years ago that the last city in the US got phone service. So there are still very remote areas left that would not get cable. I would still have my old dial one if I was way out there in the country. Why buy a new TV when you can't get any service. Not everyone would have satalite, maybe that is why the bar is so popular, besides being the only one there. It's a small town that is a farming community. Not much time for TV any ways.

I have lived WAY out in the boondocks and still had pulse phone service. As far as cable goes, analog cable reaches pretty dang far, but 90% of rural America that cannot be accessed by cable is serviced by sats. I lived in the Panhandle of Texas, and drove through Kansas and Oklahoma regularly. Farming communities have the same desire to watch high def TV as anyone else does. Most of the farmers I know have better audio video systems than the people I know in the cities. Most of the farmers are pretty dang well off. I know most people think country folk and farmers are stupid, but I know more folks with bachelor and master degrees in the country than I ever met in the city. Forget that hard working sun up till sun down crap you see on TV, it isn’t that way, except a few times a year. Most of the time it isn’t really that hard at all. 1 out of 4 found this valuable.

It's just that Jake's car is old, too, really old. The use of the older televisions without any logical explanation at first led me to think it was a period piece. It was just that ALL the televisions in homes had UHF and there are no antennas on the roof. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
