Texte du Storyboard

  • Oh Dear God! I must see this for myself. Walk with me to the window!
  • My queen, sorry to disturb you but the people are restless. They have gathered outside the castle and the fog is only getting worse. The hospitals are at full vacancy. Pneumonia and bronchitis have plagued the many.
  • Oh my. You can barely see the people walking or the cars on the road. Bring him in by the fire. We shall have much to talk about.
  • Also, the doctor wishes to speak to you.
  • Doctor, tell me what has happened. Tell me everything!
  • My queen, it has been 4 days since the start of the lethal fog on December 5th 1952 and already 12,000 lives have been lost. My research team has analyzed that the smog contains the following pollutants: articulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These levels of pollution have been a cause for concern since the start of the industrial revolution. The recent anticyclone only made the situation worse. The water vapour from the fog was sticking to particulates released by the coal-burning factories, leading to the smog.
  • Four years later...
  • My people of Great Britain, I am proud to announce that on this very special day, the four year anniversary of the Great London Fog, that the Clean Air Act has passed. This will now ensure smoke-free areas throughout the city and restrict the burning of coal in domestic fires as well as in industrial furnaces. Moreover, homeowners will be offered grants that allow them to switch to different heating sources, such as oil, natural gas, and electricity. A sustainable future is in our hands. This pea soup fog shall no longer be of a burden to us.
  • Modern Day Great Britain...
  • The Clean Air Act passed four years after the Great Smog of London did not help at all. Our pollution levels are still high. WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT HISTORY! Just look at the sky now.
  • Yes, but after that accident, coal fires were totally banned from London and more precautionary measures were taken so it would never happen again
  • 
  • THE END
