. . . . Hackers, incompetence, or mechanical failure?

I think there are just too many coincidences piling up.

My uneasiness grows and grows.

I feel the same way...

What really struck me is that the sideline reporter said that when the lights went out, all the players hit the ground. Now why would they do that??? It it were me, I would just stand in the same spot until the lights came on or I knew what was going on.

Standing in the same spot waiting for the lights to come on, I would do the same thing...

Before 9-11.

Now...

The lights suddenly go out and everything suddenly goes off, I am going tactical immediately. That includes hitting the ground to make for a much smaller target.

Then I am taking a quick inventory of what I have available to me at the moment (flashlight, cell phone, pepper spray, folding knife, car keys, etc.).

An EMP from a nuclear blast moves at the speed of light and overloads the electronics and electrical systems taking out the electrical power.

The blast wave is a second or so behind it...

It is embarrassing to hit the ground for no reason other than being paranoid of a nuclear blast going off.

But it is even more embarrassing to get shredded by flying metal and glass from a blast wave.

Hussein's plan... Soro's plan... China's plan... Russia's plan... heck, they all have the same plan to destroy America.

Sign me up.

I am sure this won't be your last "Nuclear Terror" ping.

(Isn't the caption under that picture the one fisherman saying to the other "Well I guess this means that we can say screw the limit?").

I don’t think most people in this country, or even on FR, know how much danger we have been placed in since o has been in office...or how close we have come to “absorbing” a nuke attack on an American city.

America is on borrowed time. The national debt clock is about more than mere money. It's an open credit line for lawlessness. :(

But I find it amazing that a whole field of team members would think to do that, unless they have been instructed. Which I find chilling.
