Fun fact: that never actually happened. It was just a fun little goof some papers ran with and spread for shits and gigs to play along. No one thought it was real.
In actuality, it was a weekly radio program that always told fiction stories and it was on its regular broadcast time, only had a 2% listener audience across the US, there were commercial breaks that mentioned the show, and no one believed it was real. No histaria, no people killing themselves, no end of the world vibes.
You what
Faked a narrative so convincingly that the partner really thought something (i guess) terrible has happened.
You know, like when War fo the Worlds was aired for the first time, people really thought aliens had attacked the US.
Aaahhhhh… and I thought you turned into a 20 meter high mechanical spider abducting people and razing buildings. I thought yea, this guy went too far
I was all for it until he started razing the orphanages.
The first was funny. The fifth felt like he was pushing impropriety a little far.
I turn orphanages into work houses for children.
It did get kinda funny again at the sixth one, but the seventh ruined it.

Neat
bummer
I thought he literally remade war of the worlds-esque radio news reports to trick her into believing an invasion was imminent
That would be impressive.
I’m not looking to date myself or offer others my abhorrent methodology, but this is what I took inspiration from.
