What did the explosion look like from planetside? Did Jaresh-Inyo (or who/whatever was president at the time ) make a really cool "this is the end of humanity" speech like Tricia O'Neil's president in the B5 "In The Beginning" movie?

The Ambassador class USS Yamaguchi NCC-26510 was there.
Questions: What was the point of sending out the Mars Defense Perimeter? How long did the Battle of Wolf 359 last? How exactly does Shelby think the fleet can be back up in a year at the end of BoBW?

Oooo, I want to answer these right now. Dang you Mark! Dang you to gosh darned heck!
I will say one and one thing only though, if Earth is a utopia, then there is no oppression. Restriction of information is the worst kind of oppression. Thus, I don't think SF or anybody would've tried to keep the truth from an entire planet, nor could they have.
-Did anybody else concoct some crazy schemes to stop the Cube, with possible destructive results? Perhaps somebody, believing there to be no way to stop the Borg from assimilating Earth, tried to stop nuclear fusion in Sol, thus rendering the whole system useless for the Borg and blowing them up in the process. Some El-Aurian or whatnot could have course stopped 'em with a big "We will survive" speech and the rest is history. A little extreme of an example, but would make for an interesting story
-Were people evacuating on their own? Climbing in anything with a nacelle and trying to get away? Something like the civilian boats evacuating Dunkirk?

Going back to Mark's comments on the USS Republic, and the possibilities of a Connie being present, there is evidence in the graveyard scene which purportedly shows a gnarled up Constitution-style secondary hull.

Sorry about the spoiler Andrew, I thought everyone here has heard the end to Endgame by now.
I think the most powerful ship at 359 was a Nebula, I'm not sure though, haven't seen "Emissary" in quite a while.
Regarding the Borg self-destruction during the 'sleep' command: could it have been intentional on their part? They were aware of the planted command, but by the time they realized it, it was too late to stop it. All they could do was to blow themselves up so Starfleet don't get their hands on the cube.
