 Thirty-six people - mostly students, plus a camera crew who had been filming on campus - were killed. Six Mistra agents also died. Many more were injured, despite the efforts of Nathan, Amanda Sefton and Dr. Stephen Strange to try and save them. Mistra left empty-handed, but only due to a desperate powers intervention by Manuel de la Rocha. The event dominated the media for months, and sparked a resurgence in the mutant debate. Various individuals pored over the footage, trying to identify the participants. Fortunately for those involved, what footage there was tended to be blurry and damaged. Conspiracy theories abounded.
