- TV 21 demands to know the truth of the freak disasters all over the world, asking the President to break the silence if the World Government knows the answer.
- In New York, Manhattan Island disappears as a giant cleft opens in the sea bed with nothing left to mark its existence save a floating junkyard of debris and wreckage.
- In Bombay, thousands die as a 200 foot tidal wave sweeps in from the West. The whole city is in ruins as ocean liners are hurled five miles inland.
- In Paris, upheaval in strata beneath the French capital raises the central area a further hundred feet above sea level with thirty-six square miles utterly devestated.
- In London, famous monuments disappear in ruins as earthquakes rack the City. The Tower of London is reduced to a mere heap of rubble.
- In Amsterdam, a natural gas rig off the Dutch coast blazes as sub-oceanic tremors shatter tapping pipes.
