Post #394,981 by Another Scott 9/24/14 8:48:16 AM Reply	Yeahbut... My recollection, which I admit may be faulty, is that the complex had a nuclear bomb self-destruct mechanism in case something really bad happened. The hero recognized, almost too late, that setting it off might cause the pathogen to mutate faster and/or spread over a larger area and make it even more deadly. Cheers, Scott. (Who should read that and Fail Safe again one of these days.)

Post #394,983 by crazy 9/24/14 8:55:46 AM Reply	petit mal seizure triggered by blinky lights Yup, I saw that movie as a very young kid. And blinky lights seriously distract me. I got into an accident when I was 18 because my gaze followed a cop car rather than the road. I have to exert serious self control when driving to avoid it happening again.
