You're listening to LBMW.

We're reporting direct from where General John McGrew made the following statement:

I am making this statement at 11AM on July 9, 1993.

There are many rumors circulating. Many falsehoods.

This is an appeal for calm.

I can confirm there has been an outbreak.

The ailment is, as yet, unidentified.

It is flu-like. It leads to panic. It leads to confusion.

There is NO evidence of fatalities within the Exclusion Zone.

We are using judged and judicious force to maintain the border.

Warning shots have been fired.

No civilians have been harmed.

We must ensure that this infection is not allowed to spread.

I am in hourly contact with the President on this matter.

The no-fly zone will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

At this time, we will take no questions.

You're listening to LBMW. I'm Jackie Jaye.

The exclusion zone to the south of Louisville remains in place today.

No vehicles, no phone calls, no cameras...

... just the rapid deployment of military personnel and vehicles.

LBMW is in a temporary camp on the exclusion border.

Panic throughout the nation is endemic.

What next for Kentucky in this sad story?
