      Belgium broadcasters did, in the '90s, went live to announce that the northern part of the country declared unilaterally it's independence. A lot of people thought it was true, down to the Crown Prince, then on a Asian tour.

    Grandma and Grandpa were living in East Orange, New Jersey at the time and we're playing cards and listening to another station, they woke-up the next morning only to read the headlines. 😆 i did play my Old Time Radio Reruns of War of the Worlds for Grandma and she was pretty enraptured by it. ❤

    The fact it was an accident makes it all the more impressive. And says alot about the general public.

    How can this be considered a hoax when they so obviously announced it was an adaptation of H.G. Wells.

      It's not a hoax. They're are just trying to confuse the masses to enslave us.

    It still sounds real listening to it today and the two or three remakes from The Buffalo station here in New York in 1968, 1971, and 1973. All the broadcasts are here on RUclips.

    What is so tragic about this broadcast is that (in its German version) quite a few people pannicked and committed suicide because of it.... No blame to all the actors involved - noone could have anticipated this.

    Why do I think I"ll learn something new from these videos? What type of programs did the Mercury Theater of the Air broadcast before this one? Weren't they also radio plays? Didn't Wells end the broadcast by saying it was his attempt at jumping out from behind the bushes and saying Boo! to CBS? So the newspapers went out of their way to eggagerate the affect of the fake show by creating fake stories of their own? Also, if you actually listened to the broadcast, towards the end it wasn't this attack that was on the air but Wells all by himself talking to another survivor of the invasion and how they conduct themselves. A run of the mill radio play. It would have been nice if there was an interview of someone who actually had heard the broadcast back then.

    It reminds me of the Blair witch movie. So many people thought it was real. Even though some of the actors. Have been. In other movies. William s

    The people who "poo poo" the panic don't have the slightest conception about how vulnerable some people are to media.
