*presumably.
(side note: in hindsight, hard to believe actual blowing-up damage to That Important Building never happened during any of the 8 seasons of "24", ain't it?) (although if it was still in production today, with North Korea's sabre-rattling, who knows? After all, 'the ?capital of war? is within range of North Korea?s atomic bomb' http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/03/20/another-north-korea-propaganda-video-another-u-s-city-bites-the-dust/ )
We need to retaliate! But with funky retro 8-bit graphics!
How to defeat an oppressive regime? STOMP IT!

It's pretty much "disaster porn", but zoomed in on DC instead of nation-wide or world-wide. No shock since it's Roland Emmerich directing (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000386/#Director).
