The segment records the unexpected apocalypse that followed on the heels of the combined base bombing of Ft. Benning and the Pandemic caused by Spritz’s Doomsday virus. America had hardly begun to recover from the Dirty bomb attack and the pandemic when only three months later, the unthinkable occurs; a 2-megaton nuclear device is detonated halfway between Baltimore and Washington D.C. Eric has no knowledge or involvement in the event and believes the Muskets could not have been involved on any level.
The portrayal of the immediate and subsequent events: the demographic tidal wave, mass insanity, collapse of basic services, complete inability of Homeland Security and FEMA and crisis response agencies and teams to mitigate the disaster or be of any help to those afflicted in areas where the EMP had destroyed all means of communication, the terror and hopelessness, are prescient and present a plausible scenario to be seriously considered by all.
