The terror group should make it clear that this is just a sample of the amount of chaos they can unleash unless their political demands are not met. Make the people afraid, make the government look powerless to stop the terror organization. Which would be made all the more clear by the simultaneous attacks that will make it so emergency services will be unavailable for a good amount of time as the crisis ensues.
yea and seeing your powerline goes out could barely arouse the feeling of terror. at most people would just be pissed and annoyed.
maybe some would experience anxiety due to social media deprivation but thats just it. -

Except i am not in their jurisdiction, and i'm not an actual terrorist. I use explosives recreationally. I already promised the NSA i would do nothing to harm America or American interests abroad. Not because i have any great love for the US of A i don't want to get drone striked or extradited to Guantanamo Bay.

No. Not that it would do you any good. We've been flooding for the last thousand years or more and we've gotten very good at controlling water in the mean time. Blow up a dyke even two or three all that's going to happen is the flood plains flood. A couple of farmers will have a bad day but that's about it. -

I saw a documentary about the earth passing through a magnetic storm (soon but I don't remember when) that would fry everything electronic unless the world powered down for 3 days. Scared the shit out of me. -

2020-08-03 at 5:59 AM UTCAlthough some survivors disputed the accounts of cannibalism, Charles McGlashan, who corresponded with many of the survivors over a 40-year period, documented many recollections that it occurred. Some correspondents were not forthcoming, approaching their participation with shame, but others eventually spoke about it freely. McGlashan in his 1879 book History of the Donner Party declined to include some of the more morbid details—such as the suffering of the children and infants before death—or how Mrs. Murphy, according to Georgia Donner, gave up, lay down on her bed and faced the wall when the last of the children left in the third relief. He also neglected to mention any cannibalism at Alder Creek.[186][187] The same year McGlashan's book was published, Georgia Donner wrote to him to clarify some points, saying that human flesh was prepared for people in both tents at Alder Creek, but to her recollection (she was four years old during the winter of 1846–1847) it was given only to the youngest children: "Father was crying and did not look at us the entire time, and we little ones felt we could not help it. There was nothing else." She also remembered that Elizabeth Donner, Jacob's wife, announced one morning that she had cooked the arm of Samuel Shoemaker, a 25-year-old teamster.[188] Eliza Donner Houghton, in her 1911 account of the ordeal, did not mention any cannibalism at Alder Creek.
Archaeological findings at the Alder Creek camp proved inconclusive for evidence of cannibalism. None of the bones tested at the Alder Creek cooking hearth could be identified with certainty as human.[189] According to Rarick, only cooked bones would be preserved, and it is unlikely that the Donner Party members would have needed to cook human bones.[190]
Eliza Farnham's 1856 account of the Donner Party was based largely on an interview with Margaret Breen. Her version details the ordeals of the Graves and Breen families after James Reed and the second relief left them in the snow pit. According to Farnham, seven-year-old Mary Donner suggested to the others that they should eat Isaac Donner, Franklin Graves Jr., and Elizabeth Graves, because the Donners had already begun eating the others at Alder Creek, including Mary's father Jacob. Margaret Breen insisted that she and her family did not cannibalize the dead, but Kristin Johnson, Ethan Rarick, and Joseph King—whose account is sympathetic to the Breen family—do not consider it credible that the Breens, who had been without food for nine days, would have been able to survive without eating human flesh. King suggests Farnham included this in her account independently of Margaret Breen.[191][192]
According to an account published by H. A. Wise in 1847, Jean Baptiste Trudeau boasted of his own heroism, but also spoke in lurid detail of eating Jacob Donner, and said he had eaten a baby raw.[193] -
