where a nuclear warhead is smuggled off a ship and detonated, was
originally
intended to 'go live' - as in the drill would be used as the cover for a
real false
flag staged attack.


Can tell you where this plot most likely came from:

The whole "movie" is done to try and not be a movie at all. In the spirit of
H.G. Wells and "War of the Worlds" this 'movie' attempts to seem like an
actual news broadcast. You watch as a normal news day turns into a national
crisis. A group of anti-nuclear activists has assembled a make-shift atomic
device of comparable yield to the ones that destroyed Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. Thier demands are US nuclear disarmament, in the hopes that if
they forced the US to make the first move, the USSR would follow suit by
disarming in turn. The plot isn't very plausible, even by 80's standards,
but the film is interesting and enjoyable to watch.

And...

Special Bulletin is a TV movie about nuclear bomb threat in Charleston S.C.
and how on television network responses to crisis, when one of their
newcrews becomes in invovled. I really liked this movie, because of the way
that the network reacts to the crisis. In the beginning there is concern for
the hostages, but as the continues you see graphics and music being
developed. And it becomes less about the hostages and more about get the
story. Overall its a good movie.
