This train wreck is going to be spectacular, unfortunately. The only people not affected are those in Third World countries without computers, still using coconuts and bamboo to communicate.

I hope I am wrong.

James R. Barker - Fantastic Horn Blast!

If that sequence doesn’t get their attention, nothing will.

Other contenders are the time machines that travel back to 1952, about 3.5 hours drive from my house:
