jan 1, 1938 - War of the Worlds Chaos
Description:
Despite scientific consensus that life could not exist on Mars, a nationwide panic erupted the day before Halloween during Orson Well’s radio production of his fictional story “War of the Worlds” in which Martians invade earth. The convincing nature of the story, coupled with the uncertainty and fear around the vastness of space forged a perfect storm for chaos.
