Title: Presages the Actual Destruction of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center
Product review: This movie was, of course, made before the very-real destruction of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center--a destruction very much caused by terrestrial, not extraterrestrial, events. This movie shows the destruction of part of New York, including the Twin Towers, by a meteor that is a splinter off an incoming 5 mile-diameter asteroid. Earlier splinters had hit the Pacific, devastating Hong Kong with a tidal wave, and the Swiss Alps, devastating the ski resort areas.Although the visual effects are primitive, as might be expected for the time, the point is driven well across. If the ICBM's fail to dislodge the asteroid off from its collision course with Earth, it will produce earthquakes orders of magnitude greater than ever experienced by humans before, and inject enough dust into the atmosphere to block sunlight for several months, quite possibly dooming all of humanity to extinction.
