Siyabona ukuthi izikhali zenuzi zibulala nsuku zonke ngokuba khona kwazo nje. Sibona izigidigidi zamarandi ezidingekayo ukwakha nokugcina uhlelo lwe-Trident njengezinsiza ezebiwe, ezidingeka kakhulu ezidingweni zabantu.” Ephendula izindaba zokuthweswa icala, uMark Colville, waseNew Haven, eConnecticut, ubhale esejele laseCamden County, “Nalapha futhi uhlelo lwezobulungiswa bobugebengu seluziveze ngokusobala njengenye ingalo yePentagon ngokushalazela isigebengu. nenkambo yokubulala eye yenqaba ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuyiyeka phakathi neminyaka engu-70 edlule.”
