*** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Weather_Emergency_Operations_Center The bunkers for the executive leadership of the United States]] are nowhere near where John ends up at the end of T3. They're also maintained and ready despite the end of the Cold War, and were actually used as an evacuation point for the congressional leadership during the September 11th attacks. Of course, they're also publicly known and almost certainly a target for multiple ICBMs, so actually riding out a nuclear attack there is pretty dicey. In any case, in T3 it's probably got enough control over alert systems by that point to prevent its targets from getting to their bunkers in time.

** John seems to have suffered a blunt cardiac injury, a punch from a terminator hitting with the force of a small truck causing severe overpressure damage to the heart potentially weakening or rupturing one of the chambers. The former seams more likely since he was still consious but under those conditions it's unlikely a critically weakened heart with chamber tissue liable to tear under strain would be survivable. I'd hazard a guess that his heart was in the process of failing when the surgery began with the muscle tissue giving out as they worked.

** [=SkyNet=] wanted some of the soldiers attacking the lab to survive and send the fake signal so that they could locate the Resistance Headquarters. Of course, their plan relied on Command [[WhatAnIdiot broadcasting the signal from their sub, instead of an off-site transmitter]].
*** How is that at all a WhatAnIdiot? They thought it was a fool-proof way to shut down Skynet's machines. Assuming it's true, as they did (and went out of their way to verify, remember), how is it a bad idea to broadcast it from your base of operations? Even if Skynet could track it, from their perspective it wouldn't matter because the signal would shut down any attacking machines that got close.
*** A simple cost analysis shows why its an IdiotBall moment. Idea: Send the signal off from your headquarters where all of your senior leadership is. Best case scenario: Skynet crashes like it was running off of Vista and the war is over. Worst case scenario: It doesn't work, and your entire senior leadership becomes dead. Even if they were absolutely sure, it wasn't worth the risk.
