Look at it this way: we survived a nuclear war, the city is still here, and the steel industry’s doing great!

An add-on mission to the game Fallout 3 is set in a post-Superbowl victory post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh.
KDKA’s John Shumway reports.
The Pitt was originally a place of pure chaos, full of rape gangs and torture squads. As part of the early recon when the Brotherhood of Steel first arrived in the East Coast area, Owyn Lyons led his paladins in an attack against the Pitt from over Mount Wash, later called “The Scourge”. Even though they were completely outnumbered, they still razed the place to the ground.
Marvel Comics beat Fallout’s programmers to the punch by 22 years.
The destruction of Pittsburgh (and the unsolved mystery of its cause) lead to a dramatic rise in international tension and a vast militarization of American society, including the suspension of some civil rights.
Nope, nothing familiar about this scenario…
¡Cuídate!
