Everything is in chaos; the city's system is unmanageable now, streets raided by aliens, the sky succumbs to huge flying objects, buildings and homes in fire, people flew and now gone while others died. NYC has never been seen like this before. No one and not even the indomitable force of US law enforcement and military defense system and machineries combined cannot stand a chance against these monsters.
