I feel like this story gets repeated every few years on HN.
Checking one was 10 year ago.
I think it's funny people think you can have a collective oral history that's factual.
Yet even with computers and internet we get the apocalyptical death cult going on and on about the end of the world and the mysticism.

Over the world I'd say yearly about the "birds falling dead from the sky" as we are all smitten :) You can spell it out, but it's all repeated.
