I think there are just too many coincidences piling up.

My uneasiness grows and grows.

BTW, I have the Dallas/Giants game on in the background. The stadium (Giants home) had a severe power outage, left it totally black and the game had to be suspended for 12 min. First the report said a generator outside the stadium blew, there was smoke in the air. Now the report is they have no idea.

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.

And a generator for a football stadium???? I can’t believe they rely on a generator for lighting, but what do I know.

I agree “too many coincidences piling up.”

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.
