Even worse, Samir dons his mask at one point and we start to see the video on the Pres's screen about 75 seconds later. Problem is, Jack shot Samir and then the video still rolls for about 2 minutes, so apparently Hassan was killed by a dead man.
Yes there is about about 75 seconds between putting on the mask and the broadcast. Anyway Samir kills Hassan on the presidents screen about 90 seconds after he gets killed by Jack, so 20-30 seconds isn't too far fetched for 24 with the whole delayed broadcast angle.
As you know 24 always has multiple
major "threats" that get resolved throughout the show. The Hassan story is like the 4th threat of the day. Assasination attempt, locating the rods, the dirty bomb, Hassan. Take one of those out and I bet they make Samir leave the room and let the video play on, but it's coming to an end so that is why they sit there watching the video.
With 24 you can't really be nitty when seconds don't make sense, since there are times when they shortcut 5+ minutes.
