the
buildings.
However, immediately after entering the
whirlwind, its spinning speed more than doubled. All the tanks were
blown, rolled and mangled on the ground. The skeletons hurriedly
attacked the soldiers and pulled them out of their disfigured
tanks. They sliced them into pieces with their swords and released
them into the wind. The pieces started floating in the wind until
when they were thrown in the neighborhood. Many of these body
pieces landed in the nearby highways where the majority of the
troops had been stationed. The soldiers who were seated in their
vehicles could see countless body parts of their colleagues
knocking on top of their vehicles before falling to the ground. The
body parts were followed by metallic fragments that had been broken
from their tanks. It was as if the whirlwind was dropping them on
the troops to deter them from attempting to enter it again!
The extermination of the two artillery teams
signified to the army that no CIA officer was still surviving
inside the wind. Plans to destroy the whole headquarters had to be
devised in order to kill the skeletons before they could move on to
another area.
A B-52 stealth bomber from Otis Air National
Guard Base in Massachusetts arrived at the scene with an order to
bomb down the whole complex. The first bomb it dropped was directly
targeted at the New Headquarters Building but it did not reach the
ground. It collided with the huge chunks of debris that were
floating in the wind which caused it to explode before reaching the
building.
After the failure of the first one, the
bomber dropped two more bombs in succession. Although they did not
explode from within the wind, they still did not reach any of the
buildings. Instead, the wind captured them and forced them to float
within it just like the other debris. One minute later, they were
released by the centripetal forces of the wind into the
surrounding. One fell on GW Parkway while the other fell in a
nearby town. Both of them exploded upon landing on the ground,
causing many casualties and serious injuries to the civilians and
the troops.
The military was left with no other option
apart from watching from a distance! The wind was by then spinning
at a greater speed than before. It was constantly dissipating
metallic splinters in the neighborhood. All the cars that were in
the CIA parking were broken down and their parts added to the
splinters the wind was blowing away. Some of the small cars were
completely lifted up and then thrown on the troop concentrations on
the highway.
After occupying the headquarters for two
hours, the wind started compressing dramatically and reduced its
area of coverage. As it compressed, its strength kept on
increasing. It leveled all the buildings and swept their
foundations completely clean. It then shredded the rubble into
smaller pieces before scattering them in different directions. When
it reached the size of two football pitches, it gathered the
remaining debris into one huge pile at its center. It blew them up
at an upward velocity of 5m/s. They reached as high as 1500 feet
off the ground and by the time they started falling back, the
whirlwind had already left the campus.
When leaving, it moved at a peak speed of
300m/h. From the campus it headed towards the agency’s southern
main entrance on State Route 123. It avoided the State Route’s
interchange with GW Parkway by moving eastwards to Old Keene Mill
Road, and descended back into Potomac Valley. The wind then fizzled
and dissipated into the river. It emptied all the piles of debris,
leaves and dust in the river which caused temporary obstruction of
the water flow in the river.
On its way from the agency to the river, the
wind ripped off pavements of asphalt from the two roads and blew
them hundreds of yards away. All what was left were numerous
trenches of over two feet deep which it had dug in both highways.
All the cars that had been abandoned on SR 123 were piled up on
each other while the small
