| Siberians Panic---Mistake tornado for alien invasion |
| 2005-07-08 |
| War Of The Worlds has been blamed for a mass panic in Siberia after locals mistook a tornado for an alien invasion. Easy to do this---when you haven't seen aliens before. People in the Khabarovsk region of Siberia jumped into their cars and fled their homes in panic when the freak wind arrived out of nowhere, flattening trees and destroying property. Lada, don't fail me now! But officials from local emergency services said the destruction had been caused by a freak tornado that ripped through the area. Just a freak tornado, good people, nothing to see here, move along now. They blamed the fear of an alien invasion on the recent showing of the Tom Cruise epic. Damned fear mongering Americanskis! Natalia Lukash, spokesperson for Russia's Far-Eastern Emergency Situations Centre, said: "It was a strange phenomenon and many people jumped to the wrong conclusion and believed it had been caused by alien space ships landing in the area." A team of experts has been sent to the area to survey the damage. Da, eez a tornado, a freeek of naturrre. What eez for lunch now? |
