1938 War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast(uncut)

[annoleUnemy]

One of the most dramatic events to have taken place on that eventful Sunday, October 30, 1938, that led to widescale panic and terror.

Millions of radio listeners were shocked when radio news alerts announced the arrival of Martians. They panicked when they learned of the Martians' ferocious and seemingly unstoppable attack on Earth. Many ran out of their homes screaming while others packed up their cars and fled.

Though what the radio listeners heard was a portion of Orson Welles' adaptation of the well-known book, War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, many of the listeners believed what they heard on the radio was real.

yep, the beauty of the radio
nowadays TV will spoil the whole thing, eg day before that wonder car that drove on its own. Thanks to "aajtak investigative team" we found out that that was a normal driver driving during prime time. :rofl:
