126 years ago, humanity faced the greatest threat to its existence with the Martian invasion.   Recreated through the diaries and newspapers of the time, and with the assistance of H.G. Well\u2019s seminal work (\u2018The War of the Worlds\u2019), \u2018The War of the Worlds \u2013 In Real Time\u2019 (@1897WotW) will tell the story of what really happened during that crucial month when the Earth stood on the precipice, and civilization teetered on the edge of extinction.   Welcome to HG Wells\u2019 The War of the Worlds in Real Time.

Due to the War no inquest is ever undertaken into what happened so we must rely on Wells' account. But it appears those who were watching panic and turn into behind to escape. The road, narrow and black between its high banks, acts as a funnel, and they are crushed together.   A desperate struggle occurs, that leaves at least 3 persons (two women and a young boy) crushed and trampled, left to die amid the terror and the darkness. Police reports confirm Wells' estimate that 40 people were killed, a result of the panic, and the Martian's heat ray.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A police liason with the recently arrived military forces recalled turning back the Woking Fire Brigade's new 3 horse tender, which had responded to requests from the owners of the Byfleet Golf Links who were concerned at the possibility of fire threating their facilities.   The Constable's actions in turning the five men back undoubtedly saved their lives, and the future of the Woking FC, with whom all 5 men played. The club had only been formed in 1887, and had joined the West Surrey League in 1895\u201396, winning the title by one point.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

At the start of the 18th century, Tilbury Fort was one of the most powerful forts in Britain. However, by 1889, Tilbury Fort\u2019s bastion design had become out-dated. The government considered the defences further down the Thames to be sufficient and Tilbury was therefore not improved. By 1889 Tilbury was largely redundant as a defensive fortification, although it was still in use as a strategic depot. Tilbury Fort served as a mobilisation centre to support a mobile strike force in the event of an invasion, part of the wider London Defence Scheme, and large storage buildings were accordingly added to<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Before penicillin, Arsenic compounds were used to treat bacterial infections. At the end of the 19th century, a safe dose in humans was well known. In contrast, later investigations into Martian physiology showed why it would be so toxic to them. Internally, they consist of a brain, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and blood vessels. They have no digestive tract. Mechanically transfusing blood via pipettes from other animals, notably humans, was the only way they could sustain themselves on Earth. Metabolising or excreting arsenic would have been problematic, and it would have accumulated and caused lesions in their skin, liver and<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Despite Well's evocative descriptions of a deserted city, not everyone had left London. Some simply could not afford to, others such as the botanist Ernest Marquand could not leave because of familial responsibilities. Others remained to fight, or to support those who had stayed.   Historians now estimate that of the 6.3 million who lived in Greater London before the war, 20% (1.25 million people) stayed in the city. This left 5 million refugees, of whom perhaps only 338,000 would have been able to be evacuated by sea to the continent - fleeing north.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
