Well, I was trying to agree to the quick passout scenario, actually, so thanks for the clarification
We know that movies often take events which take some time and compress that time for convenience sake (most Americans have a 4 second attention span for watching a room with no action taking place...which is why a good many movies will never linger on a scene cut for more than 4 seconds if no action is going on...count it out sometime...but dont use
2001, it's an obvious exception to this rule)
As ever, my objection is with the EMP and it's selective effects
