Without Warning Page #3

Follow the Shuttle flights, then just

moments ago, some data came in from Nasa.

Big radio Telescope at Gold stone in the

Mojave Desert.

And all reporters were asked to move

behind this wall of glass.

They say a statement is imminent but right

now, we're watching and waiting.

We'll be back to you Matt, but first for

an insight on what may be happening.

We go to correspondent Ron Olney at

Gold-stone......Ron ??

Sandy ... this enormous 70mtr steerable

antenna, is part of NASA? s.

Deep Space Network, here to track

spacecraft, when a Comet or Asteroid.

Is identified by one of field telescopes

like the one at Mount Palomar.

The data is fed here and the space debris

as they call these killer rocks.

Is then tracked with precision.

Now the scientists who work here are

normal rather cool understated people.

But about an hour ago when the data on

7645 Ventori was fully analysed.

This marine Helicopter made an unscheduled

landing, a pair of MP? S, raced inside.

Minutes later with one of the scientists

here, they rushed him aboard, the chopper.

Now word yet on the scientists name or his

position with NASA.

But sources say he was flown to nearby

Edwards Air force base.

For a trip by Jet to the Space Center in

Houston

Roy!, what could have so important that they

couldn't have linked up with Houston by phone.

Or a Tele- Conference.

Well they're big questions with no

answer form here, Sandy, once here.

It says that the scientists involved may

have something to do with the Asteroids.

Trajectory, , both before and after it

broke up.

Thank you!!, very much.

We just received an update from Denise

Wong in Beijing.

There are no known casualties near the

third impact site designated "Charlie"

However the impact is said to have damaged

the Tingshin Hydro-Electric dam

40 kilometres to the south, power outages

have been reported throughout most

of LANGSHAN province. The Chinese

government is requesting emergency.

Generating equipment, and Red Cross

assistance, for the estimated 7.5 million.

People, now without electricity or running

water.

Doctor we've just got word on the condition of

that little girl found wandering near the Wyoming.

Impact site.

We go now to Evening World News correspondent

Bree Walker, standing by at mercy.

Medical Center in Casper.

The little girl we found at the scene was

badly burned.

She's in intensive care now being treated

for exposure and second degree burns.

Doctors have sedated her, and they say

she's resting comfortably.

Meanwhile Makoma County Sheriff department has set up a

special hotline to try to find out who the little girl is.

If you can help here? S the number

Bree Walker, Evening World News, Casper

Wyoming.

There? S more now on the fate of another

victim, French Skier Jean Paul Chounard

after combing the area near the second

Asteroid impact site

French rescue workers, came upon Jean Paul

Chounard, holed in a snow cave near the base.

Of Mount Dimen.

We'll have an update soon, from

correspondent Paul Whitaker in France

Sandy in this era of home video where

people seem to shoot everything

I guess this was inevitable. We just

received tape from KWBF.

Our affiliate in Newcastle Wyoming, some

80 miles from the impact site.

It purports to show Asteroid fragment

Alpha, streaking across the sky.

As it roars towards Thunder Basin, I'm

told it was shot by Chris O neil.

The father of three from Newcastle, the

voice you're hearing is Mr O Neal.

C-mon out, its freezing....Ohh Kylie,

that? S great

Joshua.

Trick or treat.

Look at that!!!!

The tape was analysed by the FAA, and

apparently that was the Alpha fragment.

From 6645 Ventori, we're gonna watch it

once more as it come into the-cameras lens

Sandy we're happy to report that no one

was hurt and the children went on to.

Trick or treat with one incredible story

to tell.

Well thank goodness for that.

There? S new information on that scientist,

rushed to Houston to confer with NASA.

Officials, he is Doctor Avram Mandel.

An Astro Physicist, at Nasa 's Jet

propulsion Lab

Sandy!!!..Sources say Doctor Mandel,

visits the Space Center here at Houston.

At least once a month.

But this is far from a routine trip.

In fact we've just learned that he's flown

here, not on a conventional carrier.

But in the jump seat of a Air Force F16.

With a maximum airspeed of more than 1400

miles per hour.

The flight time from Edwards to Houston,

should put Doctor Mandel on the ground.

Some 22 minutes from now

Sandy!! correspondent Robert Roveno, has

just flown in from Denver.

And he is at the edge of impact site Alpha.

Apparently the police there have just

changed the ground rules

Robert!!

All the news crews here have been asked to

pull back from the immediate edge.

Of the crater. The official reason is

safety, State police saying there.

Have been after shocks, as with the impact.

But none of the press here on the ground

has felt anything.

And there's been, activity at the crater

by Nasa Scientists.

We shot this video only moments ago

Sandy !! as you can see dozens of

investigators from Nasa and the pentagon.

Have been flown in to the site which is now

beginning to resemble a civil air base.

Ahh you can see a chopper from Olney

landing, carrying additional Troops.

Armed with assault weapons, Why ? The

government would need fire-power like that.

At the site of a Meteor impact, is anyone?

S guess ???

Ahh...We're told among the personnel being

moved to this site is a team of mapmakers.

From the US Geological survey.

In addition the FAA now established a

no fly zone immediately over the crater.

They have made it quite clear anyone violating

this restriction, would be fired upon.

So these are the last picture you'll likely

to see for a while.

Ahh Sandy!!!, At impact site.....We're

going to have to cut away.

A statement is imminent from, from the

press room, at the Johnson Space Center.

We go now to correspondent Matt Jensen.

After a virtual blackout since the first

impact

Dale Powers...Nasa director of

Community relations.

Is about to speak now.

Mr Director....Can you....Here we have

a short statement.

There'll be no questions at this time.

Let me just say...Ahh for now, except that

what we're about to show you.

Is based of findings that are

preliminary, at best...

The findings, are not, I repeat NO definitive.

Data just analysed by the Space Centres

computer suggest that the Asteroid....

6645 Ventori, was approaching the Earth on

a precise trajectory, for impact

at 90 degrees North Latitude when it

broke up over the Polar Ice Cap.

The three debris segments that split apart

Landed at the following impact points.

Ah ... 0 degrees longitude, France. The

other two sites, were at 105 degrees west.

In Wyoming, and the same at longitude

East in Mongolia.

At Here and here.

All three sites were located at 45 degrees

North latitude.
