Nuclear Apocalypse Soon

So at what stage does the submarine commander decide it is time to open that letter? How on earth does he know if the PM has been killed and the normal chain of command obliterated? For obvious reasons, no one we spoke to would elaborate on the precise protocols. Suffice it to say that there is a complicated series of checks that the submarine commander must perform to establish the true situation — one of which, curiously, is to determine whether Radio 4 is still broadcasting.

I am picturing a load of sysadmins and network engineers running around freaking out :p

Always funny in the work place when major problems hit, unless you are the one doing the fixing. I hate typing when my hands are shaking.
