WBLN! Your news, your station.

We're going straight over to a statement made by...

... a General John McGrew on the Knox Exclusion Zone boundary.

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

There are many rumors circulating. Many falsehoods.

This is an appeal for calm.

Puedo confirmar que ha habido un brote.

La enfermedad se mantiene sin identificar.

Es como una gripe. Causa pánico. Causa confusión.

NO hay evidencias de fallecimientos en la Zona de Exclusión.

Estamos usando fuerza medida y prudente para mantener la frontera.

Se dispararon tiros de advertencia.

Ningún civil ha resultado herido.

Debemos asegurarnos que esta infección no pueda propagarse.

Estoy en contacto constante con el Presidente por este asunto.

La restricción aérea se mantendrá en sitio el futuro cercano.

En este momento no recibiremos preguntas.

General! General! Why can't we speak to them?

He said NO quest... <click>

Quite a forceful end to that statement Richard?

It was. There's still a lot unsaid down here.

No word on the Knox Telecommunications issue.

No explanation on why this... huge logistical operation is necessary.

There's a lot of angry, scared people here.

They can't get home. They can't speak to their families.

And the threat is still an unknown.

Keep digging Richard.

I will. Don't you worry.

Next up: the President's date with...

... the Center for Disease Control.

Up after this.
