"In 1984, Jack Gladney is a professor of "Hitler studies" (a field he founded) at the College-on-the-Hill in Ohio. Despite his specialism, he speaks no German and is secretly taking basic lessons to prepare for a speech he is due to give at a conference. Jack is married to Babette, his fourth wife. Together, they raise a blended family with four children: Heinrich and Steffie, from two of Jack's previous marriages; Denise, from Babette's previous marriage; and Wilder, a child they conceived together. Denise spies on Babette and finds her secret prescription stash of Dylar, a mysterious drug not in the usual records. Jack experiences a dream about a mysterious man trying to kill him, alluding to an earlier conversation with Babette focused on their mutual fear of death. Jack's colleague, Murray Siskind, a professor of American culture, wishes to develop a similarly niche field, "Elvis studies,” and convinces Jack to help him. They briefly become rivals as competition between their courses arises.

However, their lives are disrupted when a cataclysmic train accident casts a cloud of chemical waste over the town. This "Airborne Toxic Event" forces a massive evacuation, which leads to a major traffic jam on the highway. Jack drives to a gas station to refill his car, where he is inadvertently exposed to the cloud. The family and numerous others are forced into quarantine at a summer camp. Murray supplies Jack with a small palm-sized pistol to protect himself against the more dangerous survivalists in the camp. One day, chaos ensues when multiple families desperately try to escape the camp. The Gladneys almost make it out but ultimately end up with their car floating in the river. They later arrive in Iron City, where they encounter a man who rants about the lack of media attention on the evacuees and spots Jack, claiming he had seen him before looking at him. After nine days, the family manages to return home. However, since Jack was briefly exposed to the chemical waste, his fear of death becomes exacerbated."



They gotta tell you, it's a rule.

That's weird.

That's highly coincidental as well!

So ducking embarrassing they let the giant spy balloon go from China across Canada and the entire US before shooting down and are now destroying hobbyists balloons.
The solution is clearly to give NORAD more money and a lot more surveillance ability.

Trump getting that stage with all those talking points is a nightmare for Dems. 100% they are scrambling around right now planning a Biden visit early next week.

They already have the surveillance down with the unmanned aircraft called the "Hummingbird." A VTOL-UAS (vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial system) equipped with the ARGUS array made up of several cameras and other types of imaging systems. The output of the imaging system is used to create extremely large, 1.8GP high-resolution mosaic images and video ...they'll just pocket the money.

Although, having Biden doing a live address in a crisis situation that his administration ignored for 2 weeks where he might have to ***GASP*** take questions, is likely just as much of a nightmare for them.

Incompetence abounds.

If they choose not to decide, they still have made a choice.
Let's see which edge of the coin worries them more.

Oh, sweet summer child. We don't need those expensive things when they can operate in plain sight.

why are the responsible people playing games?
Why don't the town(s) people rip out the railroad tracks?? Every time they repair them do it again. It worked for some during the civil war
The cameras should also be catching everyone in the towns wearing gas max and/or hazmat suits whenever they're outdoors
even if they don't need them

Sadly they’d all be arrested immediately now.
