Fall of civilization
From PhiloWiki
What would bring about the end of civilization?
- "Homeland Security is not secure and the American people remain vulnerable to the next terrorist attack, which will come within the immediate future and will involve nuclear and radiological weapons.
- That is the lesson of Hurricane Katrina and the chaos in New Orleans. The U.S. remains unable to evacuate the citizens, to provide emergency shelter, to contain the rampant violence and to remove the hundreds of putrefying bodies from the floodwaters. Medical helicopters and law officers have come under fire; storm survivors battle for seats on the buses that would carry them away from the chaos; murders and rapes have occurred within the New Orleans Convention Center, which was supposed to serve as a place of refuge...
- America is unprepared for even a single disaster within a medium-sized city, let alone a nuclear disaster within a major metropolitan area. As the situation in New Orleans continued to worsen, reports began to surface about nuclear weapons and materials being transported over the Mexican border by MS-13 gang members, who are now serving as "coyotes" for terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida."
