Casualties are still being counted, nearing the hundreds, after Godzilla attacked Edmonton's downtown area, Monday morning.The casualty count continues to climb in the wake of a Godzilla attack, at 9:15 a.m. It is believed by military officials that the dreaded Japanese monster, swam up the North Saskatchewan River, before inflicting massive damage on the downtown area.
"I saw him jump out of the water, and immediately ran to the nearest phone booth to change into my alter ego," said Steven Wagers, a self proclaimed "do-gooder." "Unfortunately I did not have my super hero suit and had to allow someone else to deal with the problem."
That someone was the military; Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry responded quickly, giving time for local police and RCMP to begin evacuations. Godzilla smashed buildings, crushed cars, and caused a complete power failure in the downtown core.
It took tanks to stop Godzilla’s advance, but it took the rockets from helicopters to drive him back into the river, a spokesman said.
The PPCLI, RCMP and the Edmonton Police Service have been working around clock to sift through the rubble left behind. The Royal Alexander and University hospitals have been taking the more critical patients, while the more stable patents are being transported by the bus load to more outlying faculties.
Buildings that were demolished by Godzilla include the Shaw Conference Center, Canada Place and City Centre Mall.

Description:
Godzilla rarely attacks outside of Japan, so why the monster has attacked Edmonton people can only guess why. The attack has inflicted a lot of damage to the city: the Shaw Conference Centre was completely caved in; the south side of the Canada Place building took a direct tail hit; the new downtown Art Gallery burned to the ground from Godzilla’s fire breathing and because of its close proximity to the building, the court house closely followed suit; and Godzilla stumbled backwards on the Stanley A. Milner Library building from cannon fire before falling on the City Centre Mall.
The LRT collapsed at Churchill Station under the strain of Godzilla’s weight; and Churchill square itself has a perfectly imprinted outline of the monster after it rolled off City Centre Mall and got back up. While members of the PPCLI took minor casualties, there are some 800 civilians missing, or wounded from the attack. The wreckage from an approximated 300 civilian vehicles has been found on site, including one flower shop delivery truck, and 19 of the military’s tanks were flattened.
Despite all the damage that the attack inflicted on the city, for some reason the World Trade Centre did not suffer so much as a broken window. Workers of the building are amazed at their luck at being spared, and some believe that Godzilla may have wanted something, or someone, from inside.
