Story line

"A meteorite two kilometers in diamer has fallen two-hundred kilometers away. An orange-brown muchroom cloud is rising beyond the horizon. Orange flames leap up through the throat which is 45 kilometers in diameter. It is a million times as powerful as the fifty megaton bomb. Tiny bright nickel-iron spherules are raining all around. Ground water leaps in geysers from laws and streets. The 'Hot Line' must work tonight, or this won't be the worst!"
