9/11

9/11 was a major event that took place on July 5th, 2012. It was the single most devastating event in history, killing almost all of the world's population and causing the destruction of every structure in the world, with the exception of The Montauk House and parts of Freeport.

The Event
On the night of July 5th, 2012, admins Nick Scalamandre and Chris Hassell were doing an odd-job as repairmen at Moonbase Alpha. However, instead making the necessary repairs after a small debris strike, the two inexplicably decided to hinder the rest of the crew. They put both repair robots on the back of the rover, then drove the rover into a ditch. They hid vital equipment behind a nearby hill, and used an air hose to trip a crew member that came to stop them.

With the remaining crew unable to make repairs, the base exploded, destroying a large portion of the moon. Nick and Chris survived, but were sent hurtling through space on an elliptical orbit of Earth.

Meanwhile, massive pieces of the moon rained down on the Earth below. The destruction leveled almost every structure on Earth, with massive loss of life. New York City was completely destroyed.

Aftermath
Following 9/11, there was chaos in the streets of Freeport, now the only remaining human settlement. Mayor Hardwick did his best to maintain order, but the police station had been destroyed, and he lived in a cage. The village remained in anarchy for months, until the events of September 1st, 2012.
