The people of JRV celebrated National President Day…

*The armoured motorcade turned down Main Street in the JRV capital, Canterbury City. Buildings in the immediate area had been emptied out, swept for bombs and marksmen placed at the top of them. Soldiers and armed police patrolled the streets, large numbers of people had gathered throughout the city. Banners were held up, flags were waved and bands played. The motorcade consisted of six cars, surrounded by police motorbikes and DPS agents ran along side.

Then suddenly - the sound of a loud engine could be heard overhead. A passenger liner was coming down at alarming rate, right over the motorcade route. People ran hopelessly trying to get out of the way, the security forces taken completely by surprise. It happened so fastly...

The great aircraft slammed right into the ground – right into the heart of the celebrations. A huge explosion and chaos followed. The Presidential motorcade was captured in the chaos…*

OOC: Darn, that is meant to be President in the subject, but I guess you all know that... I hate typos.

You can edit the title by editing your first post, the title is there. :wink:

Dimmimar wishes that the survivors die an excruciating and painful death.

*Armed gunmen had hijacked the passenger liner, shortly after take off from the Donald Brash International Airport in Victoria City – having managed to sneak weapons through security. Air traffic control was aware, and the airforce had been alerted. However, the intention of the hijackers was not made clear, and 15 minutes later the chaos in the capital had occured...*

Television news...

*A camera from the air panned out over the carnage – a total waste of human life. The view soon switches to the ground, emergency services and military flooded the area – removing wreckage, searching frantically for survivors. *

Reporter: "My God, this is just… this is just unimaginable, unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen… this is the worst day of my life."

Bodies are seen being carried away in the background. A soldier waves and yells to the reporter telling him to get out of the way.

Reporter: "Television JRV News is still unable to confirm whether or not the President is dead. We are told that the motorcade was passing right were am standing, just moments before all this happened. The Vice President, the Lord Mayor, and other officials were ridding in the motorcade with President Marsden."

News anchor: "TVJRV News has just received word that a press conference is underway at Government House..."

A spokesman stood behind a lectern at the front of the press conference room.

"President John Marsden and Vice President Silvia Cartwright are dead along with the thousands of others. The government would like to assure the people of JRV that we have everything under control. Civil defence, the military and police have measures in place for such tragic and unexpected events, these measures are being taken. At this time, we have reason to believe this 'terrorist attack' may have been carried out by the extreme right-winged organization calling themselves the 'JRV Liberation Front'. A full scale investigation into the perpetrators of this disgusting crime against humanity, and the security at our airports which seems to have failed us all, is being launched immediately."

*The terrorist organization was officially outlawed and large numbers of arrests were made... many without trial. The military take to the streets with the other security forces, the intelligence agencies begin eavesdropping on all form of communications and new type of paranoia sets in. More and more people were encouraged to not wear clothing (so weapons could not be concealed). A secret police force was set up and immediately got to work on every street corner, in every bar, and every shop.*

*The head of state role falls to non-elected officials, the position of President temporally removed - until the general elections can be held.*

Michael Larson, the aid of Prime Minister Charles Helms of Buechoria sits at his desk typing a message to the government of JRV
