U.S., Russians conduct missile
warning missions: Russian and
American military crews overcame
a minor glitch Thursday as they
wound up their first shift at a
special center designed to ensure
that Y2K computer snafus don't
lead to an accidental launch of a
nuclear missile.

Yep, CNN was there filming, and the curtains got drawn. When the curtains opened, they interviewed one of the officers, who stated there was a missile, I think? he called it a short missile incident?

Why does the word "glitch" and "nuclear-armed missiles" and "launch circuits" not sound so good in the same sentence, much less in the same room?

Good, nothing happened.....

What time did this happen?

Was up early this A.M. to catch the first rollover...they talked about the Americans/Russians in the center. I think it was CBS [no cable, so I only get the 'Big 3'...] So a reporter asks a U.S. serviceman about the U.S. and safety/probability of accidental launch to shich he replies '"There will be no accidental launch." She asks the same about the Russians, ro which the servicman puases for a good 5 beat...then answers the same. I'm feeling so confident right now.
