After the first bus blows up, Jack is on the phone with the bomber. The bomber gives Jack a deadline of 11am, after which Jack looks at his watch. The time on Jack's watch shows 8:05, but that's not the time of day. Above the numbers on the watch are the letters AL, which means it's on the Alarm setting. 8:05 is the time the watch alarm was set for, not the time of day.

Faq
Q
What is 'Speed' about?
A
LAPD officer Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) must stop a bomb that is set to explode on a city bus if it goes under 50 mph. With the help of passenger Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock), who takes over driving the bus after the busdriver is shot, Jack must keep the bus going above 50 mph until they can figure out how to unrig the bomb...IF they can figure it out.
Q
Is 'Speed' based on a book?
A
No. Speed is based on a script by Canadian screenwriter Graham Yost with extensive revisions by American screenwriter Joss Whedon. It's said that Yost got the idea from another film, Runaway Train (1985), about a train that speeds out of control, and that the ending was inspired by the ending of Silver Streak (1976). Speed was followed by Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997).
Q
Were there people in the plane when the bus hit it?
A
No, it was a cargo plane being towed out of an aircraft hangar. The only person that could have been there when the plane blew up was the driver who was towing the plane. As seen in the movie, he is able to escape unharmed.
