A 56-minute fake BBC nuclear attack news broadcast originally made by Ben Marking, re-uploaded in full resolution. It is a fictional breaking-news special depicting nuclear war, and the uploader states it is not real.
Commenters bring it up in nuclear-fear and WWIII threads as an unnervingly realistic piece of fictional news coverage.
