Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In both episodes, a warning of imminent danger is presented to a higher authority but is initially dismissed (Stahlman dismisses the flange warning; the President hears of the attack but is slow to act). The Williams character is present in both scenes, observing the dismissal."
