War of the Worlds–Law suits?

Does anyone know if there were law suits as a result of the famous radio broadcast that panicked Americans across the country?

Because I’m thinking that if the same thing happened now, the number of law suits filed would be so staggering, that the radio network would be put out of business, the sponsors would all have pulled their support, and the Mercury Theater would have been sued into bankruptcy and beyond.

I tell ya, you just can’t terrorize people and get away with it anymore.
