  1. Reminds me a bit of that scene from Dr. Strangelove where the President (Peter Sellers) tells the Russian Premiere: "You know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb...One of our base commanders...well he went a little funny in the head...and he went and did a silly thing. He ordered his planes to attack your country." Love that scene and that movie. But I did get to tour the NORAD facility in North Bay Ontario after it closed. Amazing place. It was underground like Cheyanne Mountain but I was told it didn't have the shock absorbers. I was also told the controllers there handled a lot of the air traffic that was rerouted to Canada on 9-11. We toured the new above ground facility as well. Amazing technology. Our tour guide also said the old place was up for sale. Pretty good hide out if an asteroid decides to come and do as George Carlin once said, "Kick us off the Earth like a bad case of the fleas." 🤣
