Shot of a Wall of Water

What whe are looking at is a wall of Water 200 feet high, and over 5 miles wide, Traveling South toward Kanas City at about 175 MPH.


3:32

Whe Take you to DC to a Annoucement From the Federal Emerency Management Agency.

The Federal Government has ordered a Immediate evacuation of all Towns and cities Along the Missouri Flood Plan, and the Evacuation of all Towns and Cities along the Mississippi flood plain south of St Louis.

3:45

What you are looking at is Kansas City as this tremendous wall of water hits.

?Do whe have any Idea where the water came from?

4:17

Whe now take you to a News Team from Helena, Montana.

Shot of a Destroyed Dam

Whe are here at Ft Peck, Montana , as You can see the Dam is Gone and the 134 mile long Lake Peck is spilling down the Missouri.

Our Reports are that early this Morning Several Torpedo Planes attacked a couple of Dams on the snake river.

That flood took out other Dams, till it reached here.

5:10 PM

Whe are here at the FBI Hoover Building Where the Director is about to make a Statement.

At 2:30 this Morning the US was Attacked By a Terrorist Group calling itself Al-Quida. Several Individuals flying Stolen WW2 Zero Dive Bombers destroyed two Dams on the Snake River such that the resulting Floods combined at a third dam. This lead to a Chain reaction taking out every Dam down Stream from there.
.......................................................................
No whe still have found no signs of President Bush, But the Hotel He was in was completely destroyed.


5:32

These are shots from St Louis where the Flood is about 10 miles away. As you can see it is pandemonium down there, As a million people fight Gridlock and each other to try to escape.


7:47

Whe are here on the Bluffs over looking Lower Memphis, Hopefully whe are above the Flood, which You can hear roaring towards us.

10:19
It is being described as a miracle. It appears that the flood has taken out the Atchafalaya Basin Dam, that since 1943 has prevented the Mississippi from Flowing down the Red River/Atchafalaya.
The over one million People in New Orleans are saved.
Officials believe that the Levees and pumps will be able to handle the over flow that is spilling down the Mississippi.



11:00 PM

Whe now take you to the White house where VP Dan Quayle is about to take the oath of Office as the 42nd President.


So tommorrow President Quayle will have to Begin Rebuilding America, and Come up with a Reponse.

?What will the President and America do?

------------
Yes -this takes the place of the Trade Tower attack.
 
He will go to a school in the heart of America, where he will proceed to spell potato wrong.

In all serious, he will logically get those who did it and destroy every country in the way to get them.
 
Erm, right, 1991 - there is no Al Qaeda. Not in any meaningful sense. There are a couple of operational Zeros, but I don't think they can carry torpedos. Anyways, the largest IJN airborne torpedo's warhead was 926 lbs (the biggrst - typical ones were more around 300-500lbs). Under half a ton of TNT is not going to take out a dam of appreciable size. Dambuster bombs had 6,600 lbs, and they didn't always work even against relatively small dams in the Ruhr valley (the Ruhr is a lot not like the Mississippi).

If you have the explosive force, though, why not go after Hoover Dam?

Because it's more symbolic if communists take out the Hoover Dam. It seems to be along the lines of the 'red scare' kinda of era of history.

Take out Hoover, and the Water flow thru the Grand Cayon and takes out a few towns in Arizona.
Take out a couple Snake river Dams, and you take out everything from Omaha to Memphis, the entire Heartland.

Erm, right, 1991 - there is no Al Qaeda.
1989 Osama bin Laden founds an international group known as al-Qaeda, which in Arabic means "the base
So two years old.

So lets recon that to Stolen B-29's.


You know that after I hit the post Button and Read what I wrote. I fully expected the first Answer to be a comment about my 11:00 Line being the True Terrorist report.

Provided it works. I still think going for Hoover Dam gives you the better media coverage (that's mostly what terrorists seem to be after), but then. I'm not sure how feasible all of this is anyway. It seewms like the Mississippi-Missouri system has a lot of relatively low dams and locks that should turn any catastrophic wall-of-water effect into a manageable surge fairly quickly. Draining an artificial lake is a lengthy business unless you take out the entire dam. If I am informed correctly, that is only possible with Gavin's Point because all upstream dams are earth embankments likely to withstand nukes.

So two years old.

THat's a very doubtful assertiopn, really. AQ doesn't bercomer a meaningful organisation until the after math of the first WTC attacks and Bin Laden was largely a lone financier with connections and a very small group of followers until the mid-90s. I could see his money behind it, but the claim would likely go to an offshoot of Islamic Jihad or a Mujahideen of whatever group.


So lets recon that to Stolen B-29's.

I think that remains the most unlikely aspect of the whole thing. If I wanted to take out a dam, I'd get myself a boat (cabin cruiser or even a barge if it's on a navigable stretch), load it up with a big homemade depth charge and takie it out for a drive across the lake slose to the inner face of the dam, call some kind of distress signal, drift up to the wall and sink it. Ideally, at night - response times are slowed, fewer potential witnesses around, and even a partial breach will kill people downstream because they won't have time to evacuate.
