I am a Nuclear Veteran from 1954 most of the shots were of Nuclear Test Detonations. Believe me the heat alone from the fire ball would blind you, we used our hands to cover our eyes' but even then we could see an Xray picture of the bones in our hands, then the first thing you feel is an enormous shock wave that literally lifts you off the ground. We were told we were at a safe distance but believe me you don't want to be anywhere near a nuclear explosion at detonation time. It will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Love how the narrator talks like he’s advertising the opening of a new amusement park

"The survivors (of a nuclear war) would envy the dead." -- Nikita Khrushchev

Why his voice is so optimistic like he is explaining a adventure park

If a nuke hit my hometown, I wish I'm directly at the epicenter so I won't feel a thing dying, my body will just turn to ash in just a milliseconds.

There was a man who went on a work trip to Hiroshima when the first bomb went off, he was severely injured, but survived, and was taken back to his home, in Nagasaki, just in time to get hit by the second bomb, which he also survived. Yup, there's a guy who's taken on every atomic bomb ever deployed in history and lived to talk about it

If I learned anything from Fallout 4, this would be bad.

[mannheimratcake]

why does this guy sound like a Disney channel narrator?

[fabriziobiancucci]

No problem, guys: as Indiana Jones teach, you just have to lock yourself inside a fridge

[kenl]

“Hey guys! You ever wonder what it would be like if a nuclear bomb went off near you?! Well, have we got some info for you!”. The narrator is TOO cheerful!

[capt_square]

The excitement in his voice reminds me of entering through the front of Disney world in my vehicle with the radio station tuned in to Disney station, welcoming us in

if a 1 megaton nuke hit Bradford, England, it would only do about $50 worth of damage. may even do some improvements.

[ayounglivelysoulinanoldtir]

even if, by some mirracle, you managed to survive all of that, what would be the point of going on living, on a scorched, dead world, whith every thing & everyone you knew & loved, gone?!

[godofwar]

You got your burn degrees backwards third is the worst. You made it sound better lol.

[Respect]

He’s trying to get us to close our eyes and take our clothes off……

[neopagan]

[vitcvui]

I prefer to be knocked around like a Ragdoll than suffer radiation sickness!

[Bootmahoy]

If it hits near me? Well, that might adversely affect my daily schedule a bit for one thing.

[megpoidgumi]

Even after the blasts, all my homework would still be there.
