Talk:9:02

message: didnt the OKC bombing happen at 9:02?
didn't the EMP came a little too late or bombs went off again this time closer?

::There are two plot synops floating around. One mentions an EMP that knocks out the town's electronics - cars, radios, etc - the other has no mention of it whatsoever. This one's a wait-and-see, alas.66.90.151.114 07:40, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: During the episode entitled "9:02", an electromagnetic pulse hits the town of Jericho.  As a result of this, all computers cease to function, including those found in newer automobiles (~90-present).  Despite this fact, many of the following episodes have shown recently manufactured vehicles in proper running condition.

message: I noticed some cities were added that I did not see. Namely Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. I really paid attention during the 90 degree scan so were those pins in during another part? I distinctly remember Las Vegas because I always pay attention to see if my favorite town is okay. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BenWoodruff (talk • contribs) 00:02, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm pretty sure LV and SLC were not on the map.  What is interesting is that New Orleans is not marked on the wide angle shot, but it IS on the close up.  Continuity error, of course, but which is right (in the context of the show?) -- Chuq 14:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Um, from the two screenshots I've seen of Hawkins' map (while his daughter is looking it over with the glowstick in her hand), the nearest city to either SLC or LV that's "pinned" is Denver.

message: One possibility is that the missiles were a high-altitude burst (possibly in the Van Allen belts).  If they were detonated above the atmosphere proper, the brief afterglow one saw would fit.  It would blackout radio communication and provide an EMP to cover the entire continental U.S.

text: Bah! Don't you know that dialysis machines are EMP hardened?  On a serious note, yes, it does seem very unusual.  Carrying on some people's thoughts that it's a Coup D'Etat, it could be the military trying to disable any effective resistant against them.  Or if the US government (what exists of it) decided that it was a clandestine operation that may have further operatives in place ready to attack, then it could be a last-ditch effort to stop any of them.  Either way, we're probably looking at the government being similar to that left represented in Executive Orders. --Puellanivis 02:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

text: If the EMP was a different device than the ICBMs seen launching, then it would have had to have been fired first to get to that location in such a short amount of time.  That means that either someone else was launching another attack on the US and the US responded with the ICBMs (although you never hear of any results of this and you could be sure more nukes would land on the US if that were the case) or the ICBMs caused the EMP themselves.  While some people have been wondering reasons why the government would do that, well here is an idea...which US government had control of the missiles?  If there were 6 different people trying to claim power, maybe there was some sort of struggle and one wanted to weaken the other with an EMP.  You see two launch and one detonate, so maybe the other was covering an different part of the US and the part responsible for the EMP remains with some power?  Just an idea.  --Petahhhh 16:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If it was that easy for someone to fly off the handle be able to hit the red button a launch, we'd most likely have had an incident already. The launch codes and authorization of nuclear weapons is very well secured and doesn't rest in any one man.

message: Can anyone name any of the tracks played during this episode? It wouldn't normally be noteworthy, but the first 5 episodes at substantially less tracks from varying artists.
