You Want an "A" go with the War of the Worlds 1938.
It cause panic across united states, people committed suicide fearing capture from Mar-shins. Police, Fire, and Military was called it was a big event. After that allot of things changed in radio and how people responded to it.
The radio play, as presented, was to simulate a regular radio program with a "break-in" for the material of the play. The radio listeners, apparently, missed or did not listen to the introduction, which was: "The Columbia Broadcasting System and its affiliated stations present Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on the Air in 'The War of the Worlds' by H. G. Wells."
They also failed to associate the program with the newspaper listening of the program, announced as "Today: 8:00-9:00--Play: H. G. Wells's 'War of the Worlds'--WABC." They ignored three additional announcements made during the broadcast emphasizing its fictional nature.

Try the day that radio was invented, by Marconi. Or the day the first polio vaccine was given, or the day we landed a man on the moon, or the day the soviets put a satellite into space, or the day the personal computer was first put on the market.
