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?

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.
I've come across some new spoiler information on upcoming episodes, and have added them to the apropos pages. I've also changed the Synopsis header to read "Known/Rumored Plot Elements", which should be changed back to "Synopsis" when the episode actually airs. I've included the following disclaimer as well:
NOTE: This episode has not aired yet, and the following plot elements have been collected from various spoiler sites [1] [2] and official CBS press releases. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.90.151.114 ( talk • contribs).
From the episode, the EMP went off at about the same time the nukes from the end of last episode were being launched. Also, in the Episode there was no phone call about the government being suspended. OverlordQ 01:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
What was the conversion Robert was having on his lap top right after the ICBMS where seen fly into the night sky? B-1B SAC 02:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I put up a screen capture of the first two lines. I'm new to this, so if someone can let me know if we can do that. User:SpookITM
Just curious, did anyone count the "clicks" when he was typing to see how many letters? -- BenWoodruff 16:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
I've re-watched it on InnerTube a couple times, and are you sure that Hawkins didn't type the first two comments himself, and possibly the "I'm compromised" too since Jake know something's up?
I put in what I saw but I am tired so hopefully someone will fix the grammar. -- BenWoodruff 03:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I went to bed last night and while I slept little gnomes fixed my MANY errors. -- BenWoodruff 13:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to add my 2 cents of thanks for the synopsis efforts! Excellent job, especially on coming back and filling in the gaps whhere necessary!! 24.227.251.66 19:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
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)
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. Tnaran 20:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
It's for just that reason that the warheads on strategic weapons don't typically arm until after apogee and MIRV deployment/
The whole EMP burst seems an odd fit. The timing shortly after the rising missiles are seen seems too close to be coincidence. If it were an enemy attack, an EMP burst would be a paralyzing move with a full-out nuclear attack raining many missiles particularly on the known silo locations. So why wasn't the launch site lit up? Unless you assume one or both of the rising missiles, either went off prematurely, or went off deliberately, at a height of 200+ miles. From the Starfish Prime tests we know a nuclear explosion wreaks radiation-belt havoc in orbit, it would likely knock out a lot of satellites and deny use of that orbital range for quite a while. So it could be a use of a couple of missile to deny the enemy it's eyes. But citizens aren't shown looking at a nuclear flash, so..... the whole thing just seems weird. Most likely it's just a writer sloppily using a plot device to drop our hapless citizens to a level where watch them play Little House on the Prairie. Skipping of course showing kidney dialysis patients, or others dying who literally depend for their lives on a technological infrastructure. --

Could an EMP triggered in the path of ICBM's be able to disable the ICBM's? Could it be that EMP's main target were the launched missiles? Or is that not technically possible?
9:02 could be a reference to the Oklahoma city bombing in 1995 —Preceding

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. 93.89.252.130 ( talk) 04:00, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
