i thought that this is really frightening. We as a society always think about apocolypies, but we never really prepared for one. This is an example of what could happen. I would imagine we would be in either the same senario or worse. I dont think that our society could do in this situation. it really makes me think about what could happen in our world, but I think it would result  in a much worse result. Our society would crash way faster. i would think that our government would be even more currupt then it is now and not even do anything to help the citizens of the world!
