The fact that Air Force One was en route to Asia at the time makes any such "intercept" a physical impossibility. Submarines do not have anti-aircraft systems with on-board tracking, nor missiles with the required range, not the ability to track over the horizon. Those who continue this line of speculation clearly have no idea how surface-to-air missile systems work and what their limitations are.

My examination of the photo persuades me to accept that it may have been a rogue launch of an SLBM on a trajectory to Russia, negated in boost by a "classified package" as Q described it. A successful hit on Russia would have stirred the pot considerably. So few here have any idea of what kind of bullet we dodged.
