Why am I not surprised this came from FOX NEWS?
Actually on Fox news they were talking about the US government report on EMP and which was released last year, which you would have known if you had actually read the URL attached to the start of this topic. How about you actually read the URLs of a topic before making silly posts that make no sense?? The URL is from the Washington Times, for UPI wire quoting a US government report that was presented to congress, so that its just Fox News comment seems pretty silly. However given the US's huge amount of research into EMP, its doubtful it would be as debilitating as the the UPI report from the Washington Times implies, though a nationwide EMP blast (if it were possible to do) would be likely to bring lots of civilian aircraft down.
