[scrambledpenis]

@lopartino19 no but after this incident it became illegal to say a news program was real when it is not.

[scrambledpenis]

[TheGallifrey123]

That one dislike got lasered by the Martians

[Cigaro99]

@TheGallifrey123 LMFAO!!!

[sweetheart2109]

CBS who play this broadcast actually said that they will never use "we interrupt this program" and also during people who got confused. They thought they were being invaded by the Germans not Martians. Come on Martians that could have tip them off it was the hoax.

[sweetheart2109]

My grandmother remembers it. She said that people were acting that day. They had no idea it was a hoax.

[KageNekoSekusu]

who the crap crap dislikes this?

[SimplyTesss]

This is like the ultimate April Fools joke!

Would have been so scary at the time if you thought it was real.

[fredbenzz303]

What i would give to witness all this takng place, would be dope.

[GinaAmnesia]

The one like this video got?

That's someone who lacks any form of intelligence...

[lordxeras]

You know your awesome when you make a fictional book seem so real you cause a panic. This man has such an amazing voice, He's the Morgan Freeman of his day.

[15Whoohoo]

Skip to the actoin 3:50

[ranma763]

The realism of how they put this through makes it understandable that people went in panic.

If you tuned in AFTER the introduction, it could seem very real.

Why in god's name does this only have only have 6000 views?! This is one of the most iconic, if not THE iconic radio broadcast of the radio age, read by the finest voice to grace the airwaves. And yet Rebeca Black has almost 100 million views. Fucking despicable.

[eyesword101]

@spehizle this is nt the only war of the worlds broadcast on youtube... so stop crying

[spehizle]

@eyesword101 Tell you what. You find and add up the views for all other copies on youtube, and if it beats Friday then I'll go grab my tissues. Till then, let my faith in humanity rot in peace.

[eyesword101]

@spehizle If YouTube Was Created In That Era... I Guarantee That it Would have Many Views but, We Don't Learn This Stuff in School so we're not really going to look this stuff up on our own... but Rebecca Black Gets talked About and Shitted on by all these you-tubers and you can't expect her videos to get more vies than a videos about a broadcast that happened almost a century ago

[psygn0sis]

@spehizle Kids today have never even heard of Orson Welle's. I remember my parents playing a tape in the car on a long late night trip back home. I was more intrigued then scared.

[mohamedgna]

@spehizle because this is a video loading site and iconic as it is this used to be a radio show

[Sonja1261]

@spehizle

And to think that the franch speaking countries (I personally live in Belgium), who copy every western succes (music, films, etc.) are not aware that this is the origin of a broadcast made some years ago here in Belgium. To think they're so ignorant to everything they don't understand... And... who t f is Rebaca Black?!

[HighTimeTunes]

@spehizle you are so right

[marcelinhovr]

My grandpa remember it. He says people were getting out on the streets and were in panic.

[Mirani2]

@marcelinhovr Sometimes the human race makes me ashamed...I'll bet those are the first people the aliens will be experimenting on!

[TokyoKazama]

I dont blame the audience for jumping to conclusions. It was presented so professionally.

[somadman]

back in the day the radio used to sound like this, and 100's was scrayed but the earth WAS being invaded. the radio had to apoligys to how real the broadcast sounded and after every episode had to remind but this was a STORY of non-friction
