I didn't want to post any spoilers in the other thread, so I figured I'd start one here because I have a question that's bugging me.
So, spoiler alert.
Minor, dumb question first.
At some point, didn't they say the bomb had a 6 mile blast radius?
And at the end, they had 2 minutes to get it away.
In the theater I was doing math in my head, 60mph means you go 1 mile in one minute, so if that flying thing could go 60mph it could get 2 miles away in 2 minutes. And that means it would have to go 180mph to get the city right to the edge of the blast radius? How fast do does that thing go?
And then, if they knew the bomb was going to blow up after 5 months, and blowing up the city was their ultimate goal, why didn't they just blow it up right away? Did I miss something?
