Doctor you're upset

Couldn't we do this in the right way

No I want to do this in the right way, that's

why I flew out here

I tried to plead with these people, and it

didn't do any good

Doctor Mandel. You mentioned before that

this is an ongoing crisis, what did you

mean by that

You don't know

No !!!

You mean they haven't told you anything

Look the Doctors clearly disturbed

Avvy,, don't you do this.. THIS IS NO RESPONSIBLE

I'm being responsible to myself now

I'm so sorry

I'm so so sorry

At approximately 10:32 pm Eastern time

The Radio Telescope at umm

At Goldstone Mojave, received a signal

The Air Force tracking stations,

locked on as well --

There are three Asteroids of a magnitude

of two miles each and above that are on

a trajectory

With Earth

They are headed directly towards three of

the Earth's most populace cities, Beijing in

The Peoples Republic of China

Moscow, as well as Washington DC

Are those Cities ???

I don't know, I can only guess and

that is they are the Capitols of the

only three nations on this Planet, who

have a first strike Nuclear threat

The Asteroids are expected to hit

sometime, around 10:52 pm

Eastern time

And That's nine minutes from now

We declared War against them

People

We did it

And now they've just decided

to respond

So may god have mercy on us all

Our coverage of this continuing crisis

will resume after this

From now on we'll stay on the air

continuously, until this crisis is over

As we count down now to the moment

of impact ---

The Mayors of the nations ten largest

Cities, have all imposed curfews

Looting is widespread, amid fears of

food shortages, as the crisis deepens

Meanwhile the Radio signals, at all three

impact sites, have resumed

This time they're affecting not only

commercial air traffic

But Radio and TV signals across the globe

In many countries telephone service is

out

The reaction in this country has been panic

Mostly everythings gonna be OK, but I just

don't know what I'm gonna do when

it happens

Well! as of right now I'm not worried.

I haven't seen them, they haven't

really come after me but

If they star coming after me I'm gonna be

scared

I gotta get outa here

My familys waiting for ---

I'm not a religious person --- I haven't

been to Mass in years

But I came tonight

Sandy there are reports of panic World

wide, as fears begin tonight, as you

can see here the

The french police are having no success in

trying to calm the people who are rioting

Crowds in Washington, and other Cities

around the World

The fear has been disrupting candle light

vigils, and other peaceful gatherings

No one seems to know what to do, or where

to go

No place is safe, as we hear out the

magnitude of this crisis

People take to the streets in different

ways,, but one thing is clear

Racial, and National boundary's are

disappearing

As the World reacts to a greater danger

The Best advice anyone can give,

at this point, is to get inside a

building

Move to the basement and stay there ..

In the event broadcast stations lose power,

tune to the emergency broadcast network

At AM 640...At FM 102.4

We begin with a series of reports from

Evening World News Correspondents

This is Paul Collingwood in Moscow

Its 6:
40 in the morning here and Red

Square is completely deserted

Even during the darkest days of the Cold

War when the US Nuclear Arsenal was

aimed at this city

You never felt such palpable fear

This is not a religious country, but this

morning the Churches, and synagogues

are filled

This is Michael Curtis reporting from

Washington

A city normally associated with great power

But tonight all anybody really feels

is powerless

Some people have gone home to be with

their family's

Some are in transit trying to get out of

this city, but ----

A group of people have gathered here

To be together at the feet of a great man,

who once saved this union ...

Perhaps in the hope that he might

somehow, do it again ....

What would you do, if you were told you

only had seven minutes to live ...

Or maybe its a strange attraction we have

for witnessing natural disasters

Tidal waves, great fires, or this ....

Asteroids falling to Earth

Whatever the reason is, all we can really

do is wait, and watch, and pray

This is Denise Wong reporting in Beijing,

where an eerie calm has set in after

hours fierce fighting

Between riot Police and angry student

demonstrators

Now people simply want to be with their

familys, and we can understand why ....

All services are reported shut down

Hospitals are overflowing

And theres word of a massive fire raging

through Shanghai

With no apparatus of fire-fighters to stop

it ....

If this is your last day on Earth you want

to spend it with the people you love

Denise Wong....Evening World News

in Beijing

You know. At a time like this, you cant

help but feel for our correspondents

elsewhere

You know Denise Wong has got

a husband

And two children, up in San Francisco

is imminent to the citys we've just

mentioned

But if the Asteroids hit Earth,

as feared, the entire Planet

will be impacted

Matt Jensen is standing by as he has been all

night, at the johnson Space Centre

Matthew

Caroline, as you can see behind me,many of

the scientists here at the operation

centre have gone home

To be with their familys, of the few that

remain. Doctor Kurt Lowden ....

Doctor we've been told that if even one of

these Asteroids impacts as expected

The effect World Wide could be apocalyptic,

could you elaborate ...

Yeah just like the KT event,

65 million years ago

If an Asteroid one mile or larger strikes

on land .....

It'll throw up enough debris to create

what amounts to a Nuclear Winter

If we can see the screens behind us you can

see the three Asteroids as

they proceed on target

They are now some 11,000 miles from Earth,

but closing fast

With 5 minutes, and counting, until the

Asteroids break the Earths atmosphere

Late word from the Pentagon

That there's a plan in place, to meet them

,head on

General Lucian Alexander, is briefing the

Reporters ....

Air Force Space Command, and the US Navy,

are preparing to counter the threat

With Nuclear Weapons

Directed by the most advanced guidance

system ...

Each carrying 10 independently

target-able re-entry vehicles

They'll be launched from the Trident

Submarine USS Ohio in the North Sea

And from Matthew Warren air Force base

in Cheyenne Wyoming

The Soviets and the Chinese, have agreed

not to respond, for fear of an

all out Nuclear exchange

The Peacekeepers and Trident B5 devices,

will hit their target and take them out

With surgical precision, and minimum

collateral damage

Can nuclear missiles be used against UFOs

We still have no definitive proof of

Alien Life-forms

Theres every likelihood that these

Asteroids are the result of a Meteor

shower, of massive proportions

The point is, either we cut and run or we

stand and fight

We're now at defcon 1 ,,T minus 5 minutes,
