Lisa Sullivan (Cassie's mother) died from The 3rd Wave, Cassie described that Lisa "didn't recognize her," due to a total shutdown of the brain's nerves and response systems. Eventually, the virus would take hold of their victim's mind, and the infected person would die in a "series of seizures." The infected people turned into viral bombs that spread the infection to all the other people nearby. People infected with the virus first exhibited cold-like symptoms, and it progressed from there to the point where "blood poured out of every inch of your body".
With over 325 billion birds, "the Others couldn't invent a more efficient delivery system." The virus developed within the birds( via falling excrement)and then became airborne. The 3rd Wave was spread throughout the globe by the use of birds as the carriers of the disease. Also known as the "blood plague", "the Red Death", and "the Fourth Horseman", the Others genetically engineered this virus to have an almost-perfect kill rate. The Third Wave starts as a plague that wiped out around 97% percent of the remaining human population. Third Wave: A highly contagious and lethal plague
Cassie mentions the 2nd wave took out 3 billion people.
This resulted in far more deaths than the first wave by a considerable amount. Cassie reasons this was because a great degree of the human population lived by the coasts. This including several major metropolises such as New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney and Los Angeles. The Second Wave was a literal wave: judging from Cassie's recount, the Others dropped some form of a metal rod from the height of the atmosphere onto one of the earth's fault lines, which then resulted in earthquakes and massive tsunami waves that wiped out all coastal cities on all seven continents. Second Wave: Literal waves from Tsunamis flood Coastal cities This had the effect of causing all cars and other motor vehicles to crash into each other or into buildings and brought airborne planes crashing from the sky.Ĭassie mentioned that the first wave killed around half of a million people. It was a massive EMP strike, an electromagnetic pulse, that effectively shorted out all forms of technology and objects that ran on electricity (i.e.: cars, cellphones, etc.). The First Wave, as its name implies, was the first of the five (current) waves to be used by the Others.
