How Did Captain James S. Steward Of The United States Air Force Crash?
2100 hours, Captain James S. Steward of the United States Air Force straps on his G-suit and goes over his mission briefings one last time. He walks out into the hanger and awaits his chariot. The SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest plane in the world with it's twin turbine engines and slick black radar absorbent skin make him a flying shadow in the air. His mission, to fly a covert reconnaissance mission over Moscow, the heart of the USSR Intelligence believe that the Russians have a build up of nuclear missile silos around the capitol.
With the Cuban missile crisis at hand, the United States cannot let their guard down on a sneak attack from the Communists.

"Another suicide-run," says Captain Steward to his flight maintainer.

This pre-war act resembles a chess game; one side makes a move and the other counters it until both sides end up killing all their pieces. Both countries fall into a stalemate, waiting for the other to make the first fatal move. Tensions mount as the stand off continues for weeks. On a clear Sunday morning 0700 hours, Russian radar picks up an American U-
2 spy plane just finishing a routine recon mission. The Russians take this as a national threat and a violation of their air-space. So it begins. The Russians make the first crucial move, launching twenty-four nuclear armed missles on populated cities scattered throughout America. Strategic cities like Washington

Everyone within a hundred miles of the detention sees a flash and instantaneously they disinergrate into a meager pile of gray ashy dust. Those who did not die immediately upon impact suffer radiation poisoning. Any person within two-hundred miles of the blast suffer radiation burns so severe that the skin sizzles like bacon . Some victims sprout a third arm and mutate into un- human creatures, like teenage mutant turtles. After several hours of exposure, the victim's skin melts into a liquid state and they go into convulsions.
Radiation poisoning saturates their internal organs and the body rejects them.
The body's own innate instinct to flush out foreign objects causes victim to vomit their own internal organs. Moments before death the victim's eye s shrivel up like sun-baked raisons. This nuclear holocaust claims billions of lives. Both countries literally glow like a night-light from the radiation.

The mushroom clouds, the only thing left, blanket the Earth. The clouds mask the Sun restricting light to reach the surface. Acid rain pours out of the radioactive clouds and eat away the O-zone layer. Ultra-violet rays bake the
Earth like a microwave TV dinner. The surface temperature reaches a
