EMP on National Geographic
In March, the Heritage Foundation’s James Carafano and Jena McNeill of the Heritage Foundation wrote an article about electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and recommended that Congress establish March 23 as Electromagnetic Pulse Recognition Day, given the catastrophic effects of a nuclear weapon explosion in our atmosphere. This explosion would interact with the planet’s magnetic fields, creating a pulse, which in turn would cause widespread damage, devastate the economy, and result in millions of deaths.
Subsequently, TIME magazine published a story about EMP and quoted Carafano’s and McNeill’s article.
Today we found out that the National Geographic channel will air a show about EMP titled, “Electronic Armageddon,” which premieres on June 15 at 10 p.m. EDT. See the four-minute video below:
