Wrong, there was still the survivor that it could have destroyed...
If everyone in america did just suddenly disappear withpout warning, here's my idea of it:
Day 1 {
OK, Global panic has started, the world has come to a standstill. All major leaders from around the world are attending an emrgency conference somewhere in europe, all major health, science, military, and peacekeeping organisations from around the world are in constant discussion. The border between south america and north america is closed off, ships and other things are stopping at america's ports in wonder of why there is no answer to the call for a port guide.
The media is out of control, with millions of different rumours as to the event spread around the world. TV is nothing but news and interviews, debates and reports. Everyone around the world is in either shock, or disbelief... or if you hate america, rejoice. There will be some that have snuck back in to have a look at what is left. Looters are immediately trying to cross the border.
}
Day 2 {
So the world is aware of the global crisis, stock market is at a near standstill, the internet is flooded, with a slightly less number of active servers than yesterday. Footage and media being uploaded every few seconds, people searching for images of what is left. The emergency conferences have resulted in teams of scientists and soldiers going in to take a look and attempt to find the cause, fully kitted up as if entering an area that has been recently nuked. There are little groups of people who have already made it into NA, perfectly fine, roaming the streets, looting house after house, or trying to deperately find their loved ones. There is no hope.
Governments are trying to bring the economy back up to scratch, and get things generally working again, but the world's population is still in panic, doomsayers roam the streets of major cities and small towns alike, there is no salvation. As a bonus, I predict many suciidal killings or shootings, taking down many people with them. The pressure is just too much for the world.
}
Day 3 {
The scout teams report no traces as to where the NA population could have disappeared to, so they try to keep this info quiet, to avoid even mor panic. But seeing as wikileaks is hosted in the UK, many advanced hackers intercepted this and uploaded it there, the media has had a look, revealing to the population the terrible news. by now, some people, although few, are already moving into america trying to get a look for themselves, media are on the ground, many fires have been started in the major cities due to people's kitchen appliances being left on at the time of the disappearence. As well as this, Arsonists have attacked major cities buning down what they can then getting the fk out of there...
}
Beyond... {
Beyond those 3 days, i predict that the governments and organisations for many things will wanna move into america and get its most important heritage out, things like super computers, special documentation, the entire library of congress or whatever its called, the bill of rights, and the constitution. Any servers will be recovered, and any secret or important technology will be taken back, as well as this, animals and plants will be collected (only america specific ones) and rehabilited into large eco domes in Britain, france, etc...

This is only MY view, any additions?
