Eternal Flame ist eine Videonachstellung mit 3D-Gaming-Technologien, die einen Vorfall vom 1. Januar 2025 nachahmt. Gegen 8:40 Uhr explodierte ein Tesla Cybertruck vor dem Haupteingang des Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Der Fahrer, Matthew Livelsberger, ein 37-jähriger US-Spezialeinheitssoldat, der in Afghanistan und anderen Kriegsgebieten diente, erschoss sich kurz vor der Explosion. Sieben weitere Personen wurden leicht verletzt. In einer Notiz, die er auf seinem Mobiltelefon hinterließ, schrieb er: “This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wakeup call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives?Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took”.
