Icarus Inspired by the 1968 Observation of 1566 Icarus By Sophia Tuminaro The Washington Post September 22nd, 1968 “On the morning of June 14, 1968 a group of hippies fled into the mountains of Colorado to wait for Doomsday…” —--------------------------------------------------------------------------------*CLICK* psst…PSSSTT Good morning New York! I’m John McDonalhan and this is your ABC morning show. It's eighty degrees out there and it’s looking to be another beautiful day, perfect for getting some fresh air with the family! And speaking of family time outdoors, wasn’t Icarus beautiful last night, folks? Ya know, Jim, I took the kiddos outside to look at it through the telescope, it was just gorgeous.
It sure was, John. Scientists say that it is going to be around four million miles from the Earth’s atmosphere today, so folks, if you didn’t get a chance to see Icarus last night, you will have the opportunity to see it tonight with the naked eye. So grab the wife and kids and fire up the ol' BBQ grill because this is the event of the century!
………pssss *CLICK* For this morning only, CBS has an exclusive report on the communities of young adults camping out in the Rockies waiting on the supposed “end of the world.” Are these kids rightfully cautious? Or are they just part of the hippie movement that has plagued the minds of our youth? Robert Thomas has the latest, Robert? Thank you, Gary! I’m here in the Rocky Mountains with a group of teens who claim that the government is keeping the truth about your welfare from you. They came up here four months ago and now live out of the flower-painted vans you see here. Their reasoning? That this is the safest place in the country from Icarus. 59
