April 28, 2055 Terrorist Attacks

The April 28, 2055 Terrorist AttacksAccording to the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare strategy guide, the events of Fission take place on April 28, 2055. was a massive series of coordinated attacks orchestrated by the KVA, the world's leading anti-western terrorist organization against the energy supply of western nations.
As the Atlas Corporation's failed operation in Seattle was underway, KVA cells operating under the direct orders of "Hades", infiltrated various nuclear power plants across the globe, and initiated a meltdown at each of these facilities. When the reactors went critical and eventually exploded, the sites released large amounts of radiation across major cities, causing mass civilian casualties; upwards of 50,000 people.According to the opening cutscene of Manhunt, Jonathan Irons states that Hades is responsible for the deaths of 50,000. Most likely as a result of the attacks.
Immediately following the terrorist attacks, the various governments affected by the disaster, including the United States ordered government personnel, such as the CDC to begin a mass evacuation of the population and to begin distributing potassium iodide tablets to protect against radiation sickness. Other measures were also taken, including the zoning off of radiation areas and using sports stadiums as makeshift morgues.
Following the attacks, Hades, the leader of the KVA issued a message to the world, claiming responsibility for the attacks in an attempt to awaken them from their "sleep" and to show the world the true evil of technology. However, by 2059, much of the world continued to reel from the attacks and began a slow but promising period of recovery. Most in part, thanks to the humanitarian efforts of the Atlas Corporation. It was later revealed that Jonathan Irons, the CEO of Atlas was aware of the KVA plot to attack the west after being warned beforehand by a technologist his personnel had captured in Nigeria. Shortly thereafter, the technologist was killed by Irons in order to cover up what he now knew; proving that he deliberately allowed the attacks to occur in order to improve Atlas' reputation worldwide.
