00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Airlines are taking steps to ensure they can keep flying

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>even after the outbreak of nuclear wars.

3
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a terror in the skies of them.

4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Flight zero, ni arklay at the day off, Roger, get

5
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>off my plane, Roger Rogers, what's our vector?

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Victor?

7
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Enough is enough?

8
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>I have a hand with these mucky pipon snakes on

9
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 2>this money.

10
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 1>It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KFI.

11
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 2>There is an insurance company called Gallagher, the world's largest,

12
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 2>largest largest aviation insurance broker and in the old days,

13
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>back to the nineteen fifties, when airline travel was becoming humongous,

14
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>at about the same time when there was a threat

15
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 2>of nuclear annihilation as more countries were developing and stockpiling

16
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>nuclear weapons. The policy on the books right now is

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>that in the event of a single nuclear detonation, all

18
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>civil aircraft worldwide would be grounded. Based on the assumption

19
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>that that is the beginning of the end, that all

20
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>of humanity is about to die, you might as well

21
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>put that vacation to Bali on hold. And that the

22
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>development of tactical nuclear weapons, the smaller yield weapons, has

23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 2>changed the thinking on that. So Gallagher the world's largest

24
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>aviation insurance brokers started working on a new plan for

25
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>a nuclear war, or at least nuclear exchange, after Vladimir

26
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Putin talked about using potential weapons nuclear weapons against Ukraine

27
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago. And the thinking now is,

28
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you've got these smaller tactical nuclear weapons that could be

29
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>used in individual theaters or individual battle spaces, that wouldn't

30
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>otherwise affect large swaths of the Earth, and wouldn't necessarily

31
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 2>mean that there is a global nuclear exchange that's about

32
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 2>to take place.

33
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Airlines find workarounds for whatever challenges they face, safe corridors,

34
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>minimum heights so that ground air missiles can't reach them.

35
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Why would they be grounded? Volcanic ash clouds affect big areas,

36
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>but the world keeps flying.

37
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>So here's what they have figured out. Again, this is

38
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>the world's insurance broker, aviation insurance broker named Gallagher. They

39
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>have put together a fifteen member group that would meet

40
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>within about four hours of that nuclear detonation and evaluate

41
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the threat to airlines on a country by country basis.

42
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Is this a little add on for your insurance plan

43
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're an airline, great question, I would like the

44
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 1>nuclear war supplemental package. Thank you.

45
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 2>They say that the cost of any scheme in the

46
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 2>proposed plan, it would provide each carrier with about a

47
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars per plane of war coverage for passengers and

48
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>third parties.

49
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>And it would amount to less than the price of

50
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>a cup of coffee, a cup of coffee per passenger.

51
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the premiums wouldn't be that much, they say, but

52
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>it would that it would be easily passed on to

53
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>ticket price I passed on in the ticket prices that

54
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>you pay.

55
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Sure would be great. These are so shady shady asses,

56
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>aren't they.

57
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>If you go on and you buy your plane ticket

58
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, hey, it's seventy nine bucks for you

59
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 2>to go from Burbank to Vegas. Plus there's a little

60
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 2>bit for the you know, the Las Vegas Tourism Bureau.

61
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 2>There's a little bit for the Bob Hope International Area.

62
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>For ninety nine for nuclear war

63
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Bob for ninety nine for nuke coverage.
