Timeline (Millennia)

This is a complete timeline of events from the earliest signs of Y2K to the present day.

January 1, 2000
12:00:00 AM UTC-12 - The United States Fish and Wildlife Service reports that all communications with the radio tower at Baker Island has gone down. As this is an expected effect of Y2K, standard protocols are put into play. However, these eventually prove futile. 49 minutes after communications go down, a small scouting plane is sent to investigate.

12:00:00 AM UTC-11 - Computerized systems across Niue fail. In the dissaray, Premier Sani Lakatani is airlifted out of the country to New Zealand.

12:00:00 AM UTC-10 - Computerized systems across Hawaii begin malfunctioning. Although the President is alerted, the government chooses to wait and see if the problems become far worse than what the President's Council had prepared for.

12:00:00 AM UTC-9 - Locations across Alaska begin reporting malfunctions similar to those that Hawaii has been experiencing.

12:00:00 AM UTC-8 - 8 nuclear submarines at the time based in Bangor, Washington, among them the USS Alabama and the USS Maine, suffer massive malfunctions at the hands of Y2K. The resulting problems cause the Trident II nuclear warheads stored inside the submarines to launch at different locations, some already designated targets, others completely random. This event is often marked by historians as the beginning of the apocalypse.

12:00:00 AM UTC - By this hour, multiple international nuclear exchanges have left the world all but annihilated.
