describe the violent scene.

We now go t... live,

to eye witness Steve Van Denzen.

Steve?

Steve?

Steve Van Denzen?

Okay, I... I'm afraid

we've lost the signal from, uh...

Steve Van Denzen. We'll try

and return to him later, but, uh...

we have just had a report from a

Pontypool resident, that confirms...

indeed, a mob was spotted,

earlier today...

headed through town, headed toward

the offices of Dr. John Mendez.

Apparently they were moving...

And, uh...

they, uh... they, uh...

- we're still waiting to learn exactly...

- Sh*t, I've lost my eye witness!

what motivated this crowd,

this, uh... this mob, uh...

- to organize in a seemingly...

- Grant...

- spontaneous, fashion.

- I think people are f***ing with us.

You know, it's...

it's very difficult...

at this moment, to get a fix

on what has happened, but clearly...

Well, you heard our own

reporter Ken Loney earlier...

I don't know, Grant. I don't know,

we can't get Ken back on the line.

- We are still trying to, uh, get...

- This is completely...

- Ken back on the line.

- f***ed! I don't know what's going on!

C.L.S.Y.

Can you slow down?

I can't understand what...

- C.L.S.Y.?

- Okay, hello?

We have also learned that some of the

perpetrators are speaking in bizarre ways.

They're babbeling in ways

that no one understands...

and we don't know if this is a way of... of,

trying to terrorize people? We don't know.

Hello, C.L.S.Y.

I'm sorry, what did you say?

We still do not have

an official version of these events...

- Okay, sounds good.

- but it has been reported...

- that up to 75 people are dead.

- Sounds honest.

- It is honest.

- And, uh...

- at least twice that number are injured.

- I've CBC and CFRB on the line,

wanting to talk to you.

We now take you to

Constable Bob Roseland,

of the Pontypool unit of the OPP.

He's on the line, live.

Constable Roseland,

what's happening out there?

At 7 o'clock this morning

our officers answered a 911 call,

to the Golden Dawn facility,

to discover a large number of people

occupying the building.

They seemed to be trying to get

into the elderly woman's room...

and this woman has since died,

from incidental injury...

- Grant, appearently these people were...

- as a result of people...

- chanting something, a little creepy...

- piling into her room.

- chanting something...

- And what where they saying?

They were repeated things

this woman was saying.

She's all senile,

so she's babbling about Hitler...

and some hurricane...

- Crazy talk. Get off, Grant!

- that killed her mother and father...

Okay, thank you,

Constable Roseland.

Now, we are also hearing...

about a herd...

Well, that's how it's been described:

a herd of people...

near the edge of the forest

near Highway 26, in Edenvale.

Where is Edenvale, Sydney?

That's northwest.

Now, Edenvale is northwest of us.

And, also, between here and there,

- in Phelpston, a couple...

- Please, keep holding. Thank you.

with their 2 young children had been trapped

in their car, under a mountain...

- A mountain of people...

- Okay. Apparently, Grant, I'm being told...

by Rachel Jones,

that these people were...

- Now, this sounds strange, folks...

- imitating windshield wipers.

- but this what's being reported to us.

- Making the sound of windsheild wipers.

The police say they haven't been able to,

uh... actually see the car in over an hour.

- Can I put your call on hold for a sec?

- They sound like bugs.

- Sydney, I've got BBC World on the line.

- BBC?

There are a growing number

of eye witness accounts,

but we still have had nothing official. No,

uh, no press conference, uh, has been held,

- and we have no official statement.

- Grant,

I've got Nigel Healing for you.

What?

Yes, Nigel Healing from the BBC.

Don't talk to me, talk to him.

Listen! It's our air, their air,

they wanna go live. Let's just do it!

We're talking to Grant Mazzy,

the news radio anchor from Pontypool,

Ontario in Canada, who broke this story.

Mr. Mazzy, are you there?

- Grant!

- Yes, Nigel. Hi.

Mr. Mazzy, is it true that French-Canadian

soldiers have set up road blocks...

preventing people from leaving

and entering your area...

- in rural Canada.

- I havn't heard anything...

about this, Grant. I don't think he knows

what he's talking about.

And if so, does this have anything

to do with your country's history...

of separatist terror groups?

Well, uh...

Nigel, um...

none of that is true. Um...

The military, of course, is, uh...

is rumored to be involved,

and, of course, the police are

responding as we speak, but, uh...

from what we can tell

there's nothing organized, uh...

nothing political, uh... cartainly not

terrorist... or... or... or separatist.

But, uh... Mr. Mazzy, this certainly

looks like an insurgency of some kind.

Large groups of people

are involved.

But, if it's not organized, as you say,

and it's not political,

then can you help our viewers...

uh... at home understand exactly

what it is we've been reporting on?

He's good.

Nigel, the honest truth is that no one

has officially come out ahead on this.

Uh, we...

simply do not know.

There you have it.

A series of strange riots

and violent mob scenes...

in rural Canada, that no one, I repeat,

no one can explain.

Meanwhile, reports presist that

French-Canadian riot police...

have been called in to

crush this insurgency.

F*** you, Nigel!

He knows nothing!

Where are you?

Okay, I'm gonna pass you

through to Syd.

- I've got Ken.

- Ken!

That was Nigel Healing

from our affiliate station, BBC.

We now go to Ken Loney,

live in the field in Pontypool.

Our reporter Ken Loney.

Ken? Ken?

Are you there, Ken?

Yes...

Yes, I'm here.

Send someone,

I'm not safe here.

Not safe where, Ken?

Oh, don't say where he is,

in case something happens...

at the grain silo.

I'm near the train tracks.

It's a big silo,

not the little ones.

I ran here from the entrance

of the Imecan National Park.

They came after me...

You gotta send police.

There's no contact

with the police, Grant.

There's no reaching the police.

Can you tell us what heppened?

What's happening there, Ken?

I'll tell you this...

I just saw...

I've seen things today that are gonna ruin

the rest of my natural life, Grant...

and I'm... I'm scared...

I'm scared...

Ken... Ken, listen to me.

Uh...

It sounds like you're okay,

where you are,

so don't move,

and you just stay there,

- and we're gonna...

- They're like cannibals,

some of them are naked,

and... they're like dogs.

Their eyes... that look...

it's just, uh... startled, wild...

Oh God, Grant!

- Okay Ken, listen... listen...

- No, no, no!

You don't understand,

I'm looking, uh...

through a little door, there's a little door

at the base of the door...

some kind a... a cat door, or something.

and I can... I can see the... uh...

Okay... let me move

so I can see the...

No!

Look Out!... Oh God, they're...
