Hoax radio alert warns of "dead bodies rising"

Hoaxers in  Montana accessed a local television station’s emergency alert audio system and broadcast news of  what is being called a zombie apocalypse. The messages, which were crawled underneath schlocky, but legitimate ads, were narrated with funereal portent.  The Montana Television Network says hackers broke into the Emergency Alert System of Great Falls affiliate KRTV and its CW station Monday. The warnings said “dead bodies are rising from their graves” in several Montana counties. The alert claimed the bodies were “attacking the living” and warned people not to “approach or apprehend these bodies as they are extremely dangerous.” Apparently four people called police to see if the reports were true. This might be considered an advance for humanity from the 1938 Orson Welles scare production which caused a regional panic.
