not one mention of the boom in the bikini and suntan industries. I can't wait!:cool:

found this rather boring ... not grim enough by far

It was on the same format as that other one last year about a Terrorist attack in London ...which had loadsa people tuning in and thinking it was for real....so ended up with loadsa complaints saying a scrolling text should've been displayed like they show the tel no for comic relief/children in need etc explaining this is only a reinactment....it is not for real...PLEASE DO NOT PANIC!!
:confused:

Must be cheap to make. I loved the way the 'actors' were talking to camera. They couldn't have been much worse if they were reading from scripts.

It was so bad it was good. Watched the whole thing but felt cheated at the end. I wasted 90 minutes of my life on this.

I watched one like this in about 2002 about a terrorist attack on New York involving Smallpox, which then spread to the world, i found that really interesting, but IMO was released a bit soon after sep 11 (although you cant sheild people from things forever)
