A disaster, unprecedented in the annals of human history, has occured at MIT. An event which planned to bring together time travelers from all eras, has ended abruptly with the utter destruction of the Institute and the surrounding state of Massachusetts.
Due to fantastic publicity which, as it seems now, reverberated throughout the galaxy in millenia to come, turnout was dramatically larger than expected. Preliminary estimates show that approxmately 732 octillion visitors showed up simultaneously at 10PM EDT at the precise advertised coordinates of 42:21:36.025 degrees north, 71:05:16.332 degrees west. The mass of partygoers, along with their time-traveling vehicles, spontaneously collapsed under their own weight, and created a thermonuclear explosion which was heard as far away as the Bikini Atoll.
It is hoped that the writing of this news report will serve as a warning to the future, and prevent the necessity of the writing of this news report. If the events described herein did not occur in your timeline, this reporter has succeeded.
UPDATE: Disaster averted! No confirmed time-travelers appeared!
