As you may have noticed, we like to blow stuff up on this channel. So when the International Red Cross approached us to collaborate on a video about nuclear weapons, we were more than excited.
Until we did the research. It turned out we were a bit oblivious off the real impact of nuclear weapons in the real world, on a real city. And especially, how helpless even the most developed nations on earth would be if an attack occurred today.
So hopefully this video demonstrates how extremely non fun a real world nuclear attack would be, without being too gruesome. This collaboration was a blast (no pun intended) and we want to say a huge thank you to the International Red Cross!

So I'm blind for the rest of my life?

The power of the sun, forged into a weapon, in the hands of men.

I can't think of anything that frightens me more.

As a Japanese, i was taught that the survivors (but dying) of HIroshima and Nagasaki were ringing like bells because of the lots of pieces of glass in their bodies and they had their peeled skins in their hands. it is just terrifying.

"We cannot change the fact that Hiroshima was the first atomic bombing site. However, it is up to us whether Nagasaki will be the last.''

As a Japanese citizen of Nagasaki, I will deliver these words to the world.

“What if we nuke a city”


Japan: If?

[qxeqile]

My grandfather lost his right leg in the war and was transferred from a hospital in Hiroshima to another hospital far away.
If my grandfather's hospital transfer had been delayed, I wouldn't be here now.
So what is said in this video is not someone else's problem for me.
I hope that today's politicians and military do not make wrong or terrible choices for the sake of those who are yet to be born.

[natiliee.s.]

It is absolutely mind-boggling that mankind can invent something that is hotter than the sun.

[marcosvinicius-jkbn]

coming back to these nuke videos doesn't seem so fun anymore

"What if we nuke a city?"

Everyone: "How about we don't."

My grandmother saw the light of the atomic bomb in Okayama, next to Hiroshima.
It took two hours by car from the hypocenter in Hiroshima to my grandma's house, which is about 135Km if you search on Google map.
For me, I had never really felt how powerful it was, even though I had heard and seen it in classes and anime.
It is very frightening to hear my grandma's story and to think that today's nuclear bombs may be more powerful than they were back then.
