When a Radio Show Terrified a Nation - The War of The Worlds Broadcast.

Описание: At 8 pm on October 30, 1938, a live radio play interrupted the airwaves, not with music, but with a “breaking news” bulletin of alien invasion.

Millions tuned in, many missed the disclaimer, and some believed the world was under attack. The broadcast by Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre team became one of history’s most famous media moments.

But the truth? The panic was real for some, exaggerated for many. The event forced a reckoning: when voice becomes power, and sound becomes story, reality can blur.
