Extract from Darkness Reigns, Fight for Survival: "Airplanes flying over the northern Pacific were some of the first to be affected as one moment they were sailing 35,000 feet above the Pacific, the next moment everything went silent except for the whistling of the wind itself and they felt themselves start falling to the earth, a fall that would take upwards to seven minutes and would end in the terrible and tragic loss of life. Bullet trains in Japan that were traveling at over 200 miles an hour, either derailed because of loss of control or just slowed down to a stop, never to move again. Elevators in tall buildings shut down and darkness reigned, darkness in which thousands of stumbling people fought their way down blackened stairwells. This was overshadowed and compounded by the screaming, as those countless thousands tried to escape the darkness of pitch black buildings, subways, train tunnels, and train stations. Darkness reigned as elevators fell because the emergency brakes were no longer able to hold the elevator cars that were jammed full of people and they plummeted hundreds of feet to the ground. There were few survivors from the countless accidents, countless fires, many of which were started in heavy urban areas because of the exploding transformers, main power stations, neighborhood substations, and factories which all ignited in massive explosions with near total loss of life before the people could be evacuated. This was the beginning of the first day, the first day of the end of our world, as we knew it for over 100 years of darkness that would reign over the rest of the world." Death was only the beginning!
