"Not much, Neal. What we do know is that the Attilan royal jet liner carrying King Agon and Queen Rynda, as well as numerous Parliament officials and royal family members, has crashed off the coast of Attilan. Or more accurately, the former island of Attilan. Shortly after the distress call from the royal aircraft, all communication was lost with the island nation."
"Manoli, we understand there were two aircraft in the vicinity during the incident. Has anyone come forward with eyewitness reports?"
"They're sketchy at this time, Neal. A chartered aircraft was leaving the island shortly before the event, and Lufthansa flight 52 was two miles out inbound to the island. Both planes were rerouted to the mainland, and there were some eyewitness accounts from the Lufthansa passengers that indicated some type of tidal wave surrounding the island, although no official statement has been made."
"Are we given to understand that the entire island is simply... gone?"
"That seems to be the case, Neal. Right now, United Nations personnel and Red Cross volunteers in cooperation with various navies of the European Union nations to search for any survivors of either the crashed jet or the island itself."
"Manoli, have any groups or individuals come forward with any explanation or claim of responsibility? Is this being treated as a possible act of terrorism?"
"Not as of this time, Neal, although neighboring islands in the Azores are being evacuated with the assistance of the Red Cross just in case. Right now, all we can do is wait and hope, but information seems to be very limited."
"Thank you, Manoli. Manoli Wetherell, live from Lisbon, Portugal. More on this situation as it develops. I'm Neal Conan, stay tuned to NPR-TV."
