The disclaimers also repeated at the end of every commercial break and often throughout the broadcast. Including one aimed directly at the people instructing them to "calm down" that it's "all fake" which aired even in the middle of the broadcast.
The real sad thing is that Orson Wells tool every possible precaution to ovoid mass panic and the people still ran around like horrified idiots.
