how would a real zombie holocaust happen?

[kar98k]

theres all these crazy different explanations in movies how zombies come about -bioweapon -virus -radiation -apocalypse (religious) how would a real one happen?

[livingdead7]

Well, 2 of those sort of go together, and are the only remote possibility of it happening. A biologicial weapon...some kind of virus...getting lose before it's controllable ( if it ever can be )

[Guru ofthe Dead]

Personally I would say that radiation would be the cause just because it does so many different things to the body. Also who knows what kind of Area 51 stuff is being tested.

[kar98k]

well... the only way that zombies could actually take over is of course people wont recongnize the outbreak for what it is and then by the time the government mobilizes it will be too late, there will be too many zombies

No matter what caused it, whether radiation or virus, is their really any way of stopping it? Even if you know whats going on, theres nothing that can be done. If its radiation, then anyone who dies is coming back...no way to stop the end int hat scenario. If its a virus...possibly...but highly unlikely. Who knows...maybe the bird flu will mutate into a virus that brings people back after death...

im have no religion and even apocalypse is the most realisticly likely one in my opinion.

[livingdead7]

The problem with having a fighting chance with a virus is how slimt he line is between a chance and apocalypse. If you catch it early..and I mean REAL early, and you get a miracle...like noone infected taking off..then you'd have a chance. But in all honesty..if you were on a army/air force or whatever base and a virus got out...you'd run...as would most people. Thats why it would be near impossible to stop.

if jesus can rise from the dead, it can happen. of course jesus wasnt wanting to eat people upon returning. i find ' the rage ' a more acceptable scenario in our time. a labratory type disease that escapes and or mutation of some kind . that why i liked 28 days later as it a possible scenario. radiation possible, burt unless we undercover other unearthy material, i think with things like hiroshima and chernobyl the affects of radiation on people or dead have reached there limits.

I d have to go with radiation

[livingdead7]

I'll tell you the truth...I WILL cause it. I've spent my entire life homing my mental and psychic abilities. I've resurrected birds, mice, even a person. When the time is right...I'll put on Yngwie Malmsteen's Black Star, and with a look of evil satisfaction, I shall unleash my hate and resentment for mankind upon you all...

I think it would be some sort of Natural Virus, like the flu or whatever. It would just be something spawned out of mother nature, almost like a bizzare form of evolution or something like that.

I'd vote for Genetic Engineering gone wrong Don't think it's possible? Did you know researchers in China have spliced DNA from a young boy into rabbit eggs? http://online.sfsu.edu/~rone/GEessay...abbiteggs.html Genetic engineering can spread food allergies to other foods http://online.sfsu.edu/%7Erone/GEess...0Allergies.htm GM genes 'can spread to people and animals' http://online.sfsu.edu/%7Erone/GEess...nesspread.html Human proteins have been produced for the first time in genetically modified rubber plants http://online.sfsu.edu/%7Erone/GEessays/treeoflife.html Researchers have inserted a rare class of human antibodies that attack human sperm into geneticially modified corn http://online.sfsu.edu/~rone/GEessay...ptivecorn.html
