Suggested Answer Key
The first article presents the public reaction as hysteria with many injuries and calls to the police. The second article presents the public reaction as mild and claims that the initial reports were exaggerated. It says that some people were frightened, but not in a complete panic. It claims that the newspapers at the time misrepresented the story to make it more news worthy. I believe the report from 2011 because I think it is very possible that it made the story more exciting. I don't think people were so easily fooled by a radio programme.
