What we heard:

“Dis is a sewious akident and cwiminal act dat could not have happened and could not be towewated doo to puwe cawesness, iwwesponsibiwity and unscientiwific empiwicism!”

Sirhr
Now say it out loud in a Tweety Bird voice....
 
Movies are just that, real life is somewhat different. Action is always faster than reaction do to,... lag time. Even at that a single human is much, much faster than a group that has to get clearance,...
Movies are different from real life . I’ll write that shit in my journal.

Other than that I have no idea what you are talking about .

Are you claiming to have first hand knowledge of a N.Korean dooms day device with us being the recipient of said device?
 
Much more than you know or most suspect,... They have the ability to kill the power grid in this country at will, and that is a fact.

It's also been long suspected that so could the Chinese or the Russians (or of course our own government)
Depending on who wants to create what issue and when.

Taking down the power grid is pretty much Step 1 in the plans a lot of various governments and groups have.

Modern civilization that we all enjoy is a totally fragile eggshell that most don't realize requires so much going right and so much careful effort to keep it all stable.

A question I'd pose to you @Gunfighter14e2 for gaming to the ground so to speak:

When you are driving on the highway and all of the sudden traffic comes to a complete stop and you are boxed in and can't (no matter what ideas of ramming you might have) drive anywhere.

What are the signs you will be looking for to tell you that it's time to leave your vehicle, grab your long march home bag and get away from the trapped masses as fast as you can.

How long do you think you have while folks sit around waiting and shocked by an event, hoping for normal to come again or still afraid of normal returning quickly, before said festivities start kicking off?

It's something I take seriously as unlike the lucky types, I live and work in a city and urban type area.
I've seen what little things or small stupidity can bring half a city to a standstill for hours or a day.
I've seen where folks were trapped like rats on the road for days because of the stupidity, greed and foolishness of like 1 or 2 idiots.

One of the things folks don't properly take into account, is what will happen to traffic pretty much near any city or town if the power goes off.

That's just assuming power going out and not somebody who knows the key choke points for major areas deciding to close said choke points.

Yes sir well aware of what grid down will do especially to a large urban population/ city .

An emp or a homemade pinch would reek havoc especially an atmospheric detonation.

I’d worry more about a meth dealer making one out of junk yard parts to erase evidence on a laptop in an evidence locker than a starving ship sinking N. Korean attack.

I remember a fire at a Canadian sub station in the early 2000s making NY to the eastern half of MI go dark for days .

I remember the Order or silent brotherhood under Bob Mathew’s plan to attack power sub stations en mass across several states to kick off the race war .

An attack on a nations power grid is a wonderful but terrifying strategy, I’d put others higher on the list than NK. But like most things I’d probably be way wrong

Much depends upon the lead up to traffic stopping. I don't allow myself to get boxed, in the first place, I learned that lesson long ago. I'm the guy that leaves 1-2 lengths in front of me when stopped no matter what. Even then depending if a wall or such is close to the road I add that to the equation. I don't travel from home,... period,... w/o both radios up & running (CB & Ham) so as to grasp what is or might be ahead. Course if the truck quits, the radios are out, it will be time to move away from people as fast as I can, before they grasp what happened. The bike and get home kit always goes even around here if, I can't walk home before sundown. There is always enough persuasion to denture any opportunist, and such.

The groups that always come in first when we game that is never Russia, China, or N. Korea for they know the ramifications of doing such w/o going for broke. Its always a tie between two & both groups want to rule this rock,...

Can you give hints - like one group wears small hats and the other group wears their laundry on their head ? Something subtle like that ?
