I did hear about that, Rip. This time when people found out about the hoax, they set fire to the radio station and killed several announcers.
Back in the USA, the year following the Welles broadcast a similar script was aired at a local station in Charleston, South Carolina. Called "Palmetto Fantasy," it dealt with a deadly anti-aircraft ray that went out of control and plunged into the Santee Reservoir, killing hundreds of residents. Station WCSC was deluged with frantic phone calls, as were police stations and newspaper offices.
