""I can explain the EMP.

It fucks with circuts. If there's a closed circut with electricity running through it, the whole circut fries.

But if there's a opened circut, a camcorder that is in the off position for example, and the EMP hits, you can close the circut and operate the camera again.

So, the guy with the camcorder probably watched the news, instead of turning it off like those damn ass kids, and knew how the EMP worked. Same thing with the car.

This only works for Direct Current(DC), or batteries.

As for Alternating Current, you pretty much have to have everything on your house turned off to avoid an EMP. Unplug EVERYTHING electrical, and turn off all lights. Even then, there's a risk.

Yeah, and I liked the movie."
