Mineshaft gap - Dr. Strangelove
pmw8000
A four-minute clip from Dr. Strangelove in which the President and General Turgidson argue over the 'mineshaft gap' after a nuclear war. Peter Sellers and George C. Scott play it as Cold War satire.
HN commenters post it as a punchline whenever a thread turns to some 'gap' or to surviving nuclear catastrophe.
