Wrong. It was announced as a dramatization by the Mercury Theater at the beginning of the program. Some who tuned in late missed that part.

BTW, I watched the program last night. It was very well done. But it made more out the so-called panic than actually happened. Near the end they admitted that.

This was more about the power of media than a wide spread panic that never really happened. The panic was apparently limited and episodic.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, regardless. Highly recommended. Fun!
