History

Barry Allen/The Flash arrives at the missile launcher.

USAF General Matthew McNally is in charge of Nuclear missiles, and after Team Flash got their satellites back online, an alarm went off indicating nuclear weapons were about to be fired towards Central City; MO in the Midwest regions of the USA. Barry Allen/The Flash hurries off and he was able to stop the missile launch with seconds to spare, by entering the code 45127.

The code 45127, that was entered to abort the missile launch.

Appearances

The Flash

Season 3

• "Attack on Central City"

Behind the scenes

• In the real world, Fort Reynolds was a United States Army post in Colorado, near the cities of Avondale and Pueblo.

The entrance sign for nuclear missile transportation.

• • Cisco Ramon is correct that ICBM control centers use floppy disks and that ICBMs can't be wirelessly accessed to cause or abort a launch in the real world, but this completely contradicts the Arrow Season 4 episode's "Genesis" Day events where all of the nuclear missiles were remotely launched and hacked with new targeting data in flight less than a year.

Errors

• A U.S. Army General can't order a Nuclear Strike that takes a Presidential order; and even then, there is a "two man rule", so the Secretary of Defense must also authenticate the order.

One of the quadruple sets of nuclear missiles.

• • The launcher shown doesn't contain ballistic missiles. In addition to the Presidential authorization, two independent launch commands would be required to launch the missile assuming they did receive valid and authentic codes from POTUS.
