Desperate to warn townspeople about the poisonous white cloud bearing
down on them, the officials call their local radio stations.

There is usually some automated dial system which could
call everyones phone. Apparantly it wasn't working

Fire sirens ??
Police cars going up & down the street with a blaring P.A. system ??
Knocking on doors ??

Where were Minot's DJs on January 18th, 2002? Where was the late night
station crew?

-Doubtless in another city, monitoring everything from afar; taking care of
other problems..

Finally , ( and I'm sorry this all happened, )

the idea of expecting emergency warnings to eminate from some slick "Dot Comm"
is ludicrous . . .
