[h=1]Montana TV Station’s Emergency Alert System Hacked, Warns of Zombie Apocalypse[/h]

An emergency alert interrupted Montana television viewers as they watched the Steve Wilkos Show Monday, and calmly informed them that "dead bodies are rising from their graves."

The (clearly) bogus alert was quickly pulled off air and replaced with an apology from KRTV — the station that broadcast the message — both on air and online reading:

Someone apparently hacked into the Emergency Alert System and announced on KRTV and the CW that "dead bodies are rising from their graves" in several Montana counties.
This message did not originate from KRTV, and there is no emergency.
Our engineers are investigating to determine what happened and if it affected other media outlets.
​

While several questions remain (Who did this? How? Was it viral marketing for The Walking Dead?) one is definitely clear: the dead of Great Falls, Montana are still dead and plan to stay that way for some time, something I think we can all agree is good news.


I bet this raised a few eyebrows.

We had a bunch around here stating for Halloween they were going to dress as zombies but none of that group showed up at my house. I wonder if it was because one of them saw me at a sporting goods store buying Zombie Ammo?

Watching Son's of Guns the other night they had to design the ultimate zombie killer gun for the one guy

 

[CarlS]

I missed that episode

 

[DaveM]

It was rather stupid so you did not miss much

 

[hemibee]

Wasn't that Mel Brooks son they were building it for or was there another one?

 

[DaveM]

Actually I am now not sure who the guy was as I was not paying that much attention at the time. I just remember he was scared of Zombies
