sep 9, 2010 - Sunset Protocols

Description:

September 9, 2010 (Day 16):

- By night fall, the Sunset Protocols are in full effect. All major cities are napalmed and all major bridges are destroyed by the U.S. Airforce, while the Marines enter the cities and liquidate any survivors.
- The military begins bombing Los Angeles and its outlying suburbs. Victor Strand's house is overrun by the infected and set on fire by the bombs. The group flees in a Zodiac boat and boards Strand's yacht, casting off into the Pacific Ocean as the city burns behind them.
- Portland, San Diego, Vancouver and all other major coastal cities are bombed in a last ditch effort by the military to contain the outbreak. The devastation from the epidemic extends inland at least as far as the Continental divide.
- As Atlanta falls to the undead, Officer Dawn Lerner and her captain, Hanson, evacuate the patients of Grady Memorial Hospital to Butler Park. Around midnight, they do a final sweep of the hospital as the helicopters begin dropping the napalm bombs on Atlanta, killing all those that have just been evacuated
- Lori, Carl and Shane are on a gridlocked highway with Carol, Ed, and Sophia Peletier outside Atlanta. Shane and Lori watch as the military helicopters and fighter jets bomb Atlanta in a desperate attempt to contain the outbreak.
- With all major cities destroyed by napalm, government leaders missing or dead, and all military installations abandoned or overrun, human civilization has effectively collapsed. The planet is overrun by the undead and plagued with lawlessness and anarchy.
