He had everything he needed. . . except, apparently, for spare parts to one of his most important machines.

I watched I survived 1000 days of Nuclear War from Infographics. I think I will be ready 😂

Honestly, I wouldn’t want to survive to live in this hellscape.

And, as he stepped outside, all his family and friends were stood there waiting for him. 'Aprils Fool's' they all cried out before collapsing to the floor with laughter. Mason felt like such an idiot when he realises the joke had been on him the whole time.

This is why I torrent-ed 13, 553 movies and TV shows. When the world ends and least I'll have something to watch.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

[krufty]

WTF. the overprepared guy in your story went outside without an AR15?

The lucky ones are those in the immediate center of the blast: to them it's over before it even realistically begins.

Imagine being the person renting that bunker in Air b&b and being told kindly but firmly, it’s time to leave, the owner has returned for the apocalypse 😂

We all die someday.. survive as long as you can.

After the Cold War ended almost 90% of the nuclear weapons were destroyed. Many of these weapons yields were in the megaton range because of inaccuracies in guidance and were ground bursts, causing massive amounts of fallout and radiation. Today, what's left are mostly in the kiloton range ( 120 - 150 ) air burst and designed to destroy cities with blast and heat. Still less than ideal but most of the radiation disappears into the upper atmosphere. Japanese citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were able to walk around their cities shortly after the blasts and are still occupied today. These were air burst weapons.
The Controversial Science of Nuclear Winter by Neil Halloran on YouTube is well worth a watch.
Not every missile control officer is going to fire his weapon...Stanislav Petrov is an example. Last year in China it was found that many of the hatches on their land based ICBM silos could not be opened and the missiles had water instead of fuel in their tanks. Many weapons will fail to launch like the last two Trident firings from the British Vanguard class submarines. The Vanguard subs are British but the missiles are American and are maintained in the USA. Both US/UK subs draw their missiles from the same stockpile. Worrying but strangely comforting.

Thanks for clarifying the dangers of a nuclear war, and how to deal with being a victim of a ground zero attack. Because there I was, armed with my antihistamines and noise cancelling headphones, thinking I'd be just fine

He fell into Vault 13's dead-end. A water-purifier failure!

You need to finish the I Survived WWIII, Nuclear War, and Alien Invasion series…

Radioactive iodine has a half life of 8 days. After a year no radioactive iodine would exist. Iodine tablets would be ineffective.

Did anyone else notice the “Love brains” crate on the top shelf at 13:56 part or was it just me lol

[thebiologist]

Potassium iodide is for NPP accidental leaks, not for nuclear bombs. Compared to radiological accidents in NPPs, a nuclear bomb creates a negligible amount of radioactive iodine, to the point that if potassium iodide were to be helpful, you'd be dying of radiation poisoning from every other radioactive isotope that's not iodine.

I am 80 years old, born in London
UK, before DDay 1944, and my wife is 81, so we are fortunate
soo far.
When I was in US Air Force Officer
Training while in college, 1964-1968, in Summer 1967
training I looked into a career.
I was asked about being a Missle
Launch Officer, which I am glad
I didn't end up doing. 😊😊

“I don’t feel safe in this world no more, I don’t want to die in a Nuclear war, I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.” The Kinks

Skeeter Davis: Don’t they know, it’s the end of the the world. It ended when you say “goodbye”

[jesusthugmusic]

There are some people from Nagasaki and Hiroshima that absolutely disagree. Unless you're in the blast you have a chance.
