Speaker 1: Airlines are taking steps to ensure they can keep flying
Speaker 1: even after the outbreak of nuclear wars.
Speaker 2: It's a terror in the skies of them.
Speaker 1: Flight zero, ni arklay at the day off, Roger, get
Speaker 1: off my plane, Roger Rogers, what's our vector?
Speaker 2: Victor?
Speaker 1: Enough is enough?
Speaker 2: I have a hand with these mucky pipon snakes on
Speaker 2: this money.
Speaker 1: It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KFI.
Speaker 2: There is an insurance company called Gallagher, the world's largest,
Speaker 2: largest largest aviation insurance broker and in the old days,
Speaker 2: back to the nineteen fifties, when airline travel was becoming humongous,
Speaker 2: at about the same time when there was a threat
Speaker 2: of nuclear annihilation as more countries were developing and stockpiling
Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. The policy on the books right now is
Speaker 2: that in the event of a single nuclear detonation, all
Speaker 2: civil aircraft worldwide would be grounded. Based on the assumption
Speaker 2: that that is the beginning of the end, that all
Speaker 2: of humanity is about to die, you might as well
Speaker 2: put that vacation to Bali on hold. And that the
Speaker 2: development of tactical nuclear weapons, the smaller yield weapons, has
Speaker 2: changed the thinking on that. So Gallagher the world's largest
Speaker 2: aviation insurance brokers started working on a new plan for
Speaker 2: a nuclear war, or at least nuclear exchange, after Vladimir
Speaker 2: Putin talked about using potential weapons nuclear weapons against Ukraine
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. And the thinking now is,
Speaker 2: you've got these smaller tactical nuclear weapons that could be
Speaker 2: used in individual theaters or individual battle spaces, that wouldn't
Speaker 2: otherwise affect large swaths of the Earth, and wouldn't necessarily
Speaker 2: mean that there is a global nuclear exchange that's about
Speaker 2: to take place.
Speaker 1: Airlines find workarounds for whatever challenges they face, safe corridors,
Speaker 1: minimum heights so that ground air missiles can't reach them.
Speaker 1: Why would they be grounded? Volcanic ash clouds affect big areas,
Speaker 1: but the world keeps flying.
Speaker 2: So here's what they have figured out. Again, this is
Speaker 2: the world's insurance broker, aviation insurance broker named Gallagher. They
Speaker 2: have put together a fifteen member group that would meet
Speaker 2: within about four hours of that nuclear detonation and evaluate
Speaker 2: the threat to airlines on a country by country basis.
Speaker 1: Is this a little add on for your insurance plan
Speaker 1: if you're an airline, great question, I would like the
Speaker 1: nuclear war supplemental package. Thank you.
Speaker 2: They say that the cost of any scheme in the
Speaker 2: proposed plan, it would provide each carrier with about a
Speaker 2: billion dollars per plane of war coverage for passengers and
Speaker 2: third parties.
Speaker 1: And it would amount to less than the price of
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, a cup of coffee per passenger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the premiums wouldn't be that much, they say, but
Speaker 2: it would that it would be easily passed on to
Speaker 2: ticket price I passed on in the ticket prices that
Speaker 2: you pay.
Speaker 1: Sure would be great. These are so shady shady asses,
Speaker 1: aren't they.
Speaker 2: If you go on and you buy your plane ticket
Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, it's seventy nine bucks for you
Speaker 2: to go from Burbank to Vegas. Plus there's a little
Speaker 2: bit for the you know, the Las Vegas Tourism Bureau.
Speaker 2: There's a little bit for the Bob Hope International Area.
Speaker 1: For ninety nine for nuclear war
Speaker 2: Bob for ninety nine for nuke coverage.
