Face Fish yup because in most Scenarios nuclear war would happen so it’s best that you just die immediately and not have to deal with radiation and fans of people trying to kill you every second
yeah there was a warning that the us was sending nukes towards them but petrov thought it was just a miscommunication/error and left it alone when he was ordered to also fire nukes.

No, actually. Depending on the ambient conditions - mainly how clear and/or bright it is outside when the attack happens - flash blindness can affect people up to about 85 km away.

"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.
That's an interesting question. The general theory is that because the bomb exploded high in the air, more nuclear contaminants were dispersed into the atmosphere. Another cause is water being washed away by rain or the ground being filled in. On the other hand, the soil at Chernobyl and Fukushima contains a lot of nuclear contaminants. That's because they exploded on the ground.

Same. I'd consider myself luckiest in such a setting, when i'm caught in ground zero, as even being hundreds of kilometers away, free from whatever shit such an explosion would bring, there's still the fallout, radioactively, socially & politically, to deal with for years, if not decades, to come. Just about the entire world would be turned into a shithole within years, with the constant threat of yet another such explosion happening anywhere, anytime.

@@carbonasit’s semi-documentary British film from the 80s. It covers nuclear war during the Cold War and what happens after. It’s quite possibly the most depressing film I’ve ever seen, the scenes after the bombs are dropped just reek hopelessness.
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.
Good grief, this is wrong on so many levels. Your grandfather escaped a fire bombing. Hiroshima wasn't even in the top 20 most destroyed Japanese cities. How could that have happened with "the most destructive bomb in history"?? Because it was a propagandized fake.

@@Omnipotentmonkey yo im so sorry i wrote this at like 11 pm and must have replied to the wrong comment, mb, not gonna get into an argument between the differences of nukes and atom bombs but you can if you want
@@varangianguard7102 hahah are you always this confused? here is from wiki article on atomic bombs but I could also provide scientific articles about names of nuclear atomic bombs , wiki: "A nuclear weapon (also known as an atom bomb, atomic bomb, nuclear bomb or nuclear warhead, and colloquially as an A-bomb or nuke)" sure they did drop, on an unarmed civilians, and nation thats already lost and couldnt fire back at them, very cowardly move done for sadistic pleasures
I'm Japanese and a grandchild of atomic bomb victims. In Japan, all children learn about the real damage of nuclear weapons, but nowadays, atomic bomb victims are over 80 years old. So we are hard to know real voice of victim... I think this video can tell us the threat of nuclear weapons clearly. Thank you for making this video. I strongly want everyone in this world to know that nuclear weapons are not " just large bombs", they mean " literally the end of the world". I hope Nagasaki becomes the last place where was attacked by nuclear weapons.
Yeah, with ICBMs and SLBMs, things are even more scary, range is irrelevent as they can hit you 8,000-km away, and each carries 4 - 12 bombs with yeilds from 50 - 475-kt or higher, meaning each ICBM or SLBM can destroy multiple city sized targets each, and hundreds of them can be launched at a time.
Look on the bright side, if it ever does happen and you're close enough to the blast zone it'll be the quickest death you could ever possibly hope for. I don't think you'd even have time to register the pain before you vaporise, let alone have the time to scream.
Rubixia I mean it is really. Then what is the point of using two different type of bombs? It is nothing but testing and showing how “strong” you are. Just use the same bomb you tested if it is not testing.
Murasaki Budou Japan always fought till the end no matter what they do. That’s why you don’t want to invade main land Japan it was a test and yes it was to show how strong they are but the war would just go on if we didn’t do that.
Jesus taught that the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is seminal ejaculation! The super elite that run this world are hybrid demons that look human but need sperm to survive! They created Hollywood and Porn and many other pawns to achieve this evil. Seminal ejaculation is why G-d sent the flood to destroy the people in Noah’s day. And now G-d will send Fire to destroy the USA and the world. The USA is the 2nd beast from revelations. The 7 churches are the bodies 7 chakras. Jesus taught these things including reincarnation and karma but the Pope with the Catholic Church rewrote and perverted. Remember to have a true relationship with G-d is to not ever ejaculate the sperm for it creates and draws demons to men! The point of sex is not ejaculation for it is the sin that got Adam cast out of eden. The point is to do work of Abraham to escape this cycle of reincarnation and the evil one Yaldabaoth who in Greek is Cronos. All religions come from Christ for Abraham Buddha Vishnu Thoth Hermes would tell you this. Please read the pistis Sophia. Gnostic teachings online. Gnostic gospels. The perfect Matrimony and the book of revelations.
WW3 is not happening if Iraq even is gonna retaliate on our retaliation for the things they did to us, then they’re up for some 52 air strikes(Representing the 52 American hostage they took years ago) And those sites won’t really kill civilians but kill off their abilities to cause damage to the U.S
@@cheesecake667 Both would survive, but the government, infrastructure and populations would be beyond repair. Tens to hundreds of millions will die on both sides, even in the best case scenario, it's a pyrrhic victory.
I mean, you do realize that no matter what damage we cause to the earth it will never be enough to actually permanently damage the earth itself. Even a nuclear bomb is nothing compared to mother nature. Yeah we get to see the effects that are caused, and yes we can see the damage, but when we are all dead and the earth is still rotating, it will heal itself. You just won't see it. The way he said this statement is confusing, but only if you don't understand how the Earth's ecosystem works.
@Oscar Burner I know right, I mean don't get me wrong I know that even though nuclear weapons are the "most destructive force on Earth" it's really only temporary. Humans always seem to find a way to make things "bigger" or "better" or even make new technologies but in actuality they just digging their graves even further down. I mean don't get me wrong having technologies that will keep our enemies at bay is nice, but when you notice that is just a veiled threat of safety due to "mutually assured destruction" but really millions will die just by one bomb being launched. Cascade effect. I know I am going on a tyrade, but if we could just focus our scientific knowledge on improving how to better our lives, not destroy them, then I'll be very happy.
@@aaddiis45021 Fusion bomb is extremely difficult to make. So yeah. Since that would mean fusion energy is a thing. Atleast with that bomb, we won't have to deal with the radiation.
Yeah, really sends a shock up your spine when the realization hits that this could actually happen, and how likely you are to find yourself within these circles. The idea of being scorched by the thermal pulse is especially nightmarish to me, considering how the victims of Nagasaki/Hiroshima had their skin and clothes fuse together and then peel off, leaving their flesh directly exposed to the environment as they walked around in agony with death guaranteed and only minutes to an hour away.
The Pentagon's plaza was nicknamed "Ground Zero" during the Cold War because of this. Also the Pentagon hot dog stand earned the nickname Café Ground Zero, the deadliest hot dog stand in the world.
There was one Japanese man who was in BOTH cities when they got nuked and survived unscathed. Either the luckiest or unluckiest man in the world, depending on how you look at it.
Go check Mutually Assured Destruction. Any country that uses nuclear weapon risks being nuked itself. So while its true that if ISIS or someone thats just completely suicidal gets their hands on nuke would be bad, nukes are also what is stopping many wars from happening. US is never going to attack Russia with nukes because it would mean they are both going to get destroyed. Also people that are just batshit crazy aren't going to care about any agreement, they will build their own nuke if they want and then be the only ones with the nuke. This is just dumb in my opinion to get rid of them
Honestly, after watching this video, I feel deeply scared and overwhelmed by the immense power of nuclear weapons. It’s heartbreaking that the message in this video could be dismissed as merely someone else’s story. I sincerely hope that all countries, politicians, and soldiers today choose wisely and avoid making catastrophic decisions. No one in this world should ever have to experience such unimaginable devastation.
Lol, old? No, it's not weird. 4 years is the length of HS. That is a long time for you. Now, at 43, 3-4 years feels like 1 used to. Seriously. You won't notice it much until about your mid 30s. Then ... ZANG!
Wow, I was older than u are now on 9/11. Sorry, I just can't sleep and was already ruminating about age and time, and your comment struck me as so innocent and sweet. You need not ever feel weird or defective or whatever over your own feelings. NEVER.
You'll be injured, likely severely, if you survived at all. There's no help coming, not for days or maybe even weeks. It's just a matter of what claims you first, at that point: your wounds, or the radiation. Honestly, if a nuclear weapon hits a city you live in or near, you'd have been better off just dying in an instant inside the fireball. At least that will be so quick your brain won't even know it's coming. I'd say it's better than suffering and dying years later from the after effects.
@@edgardo5049 especially in a case of nuclear total war, actuall blast kills relatively few people, more people die from radiation overtime, but most people are likely to dies from hunger and lack of basic medical care and drugs. In the worst case scenario nuclear winter will decimate even the regions that were not involved in nuclear war, not likely but there is a possibility this will lead to snowball earth, when entire earth is covered in thick layer of ice and snow 😉

In pretty much all atomic bomb videos, I see people who say the Japanese deserved it. My retort is that there’s a difference between individuals (eg Japanese civilians, military personnel, government officials etc) and a collective (eg the Japanese people, the nation of Japan etc). Most Japanese civilians either just minded their own business or at most supported the war efforts within their own country like civilians in other countries that engaged in the war did during a time when information was not as freely accessible as in uncensored areas today. Mostly only some government officials and military personnel decided on and carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor and other atrocities during WW2. Since the majority of the blame should be on some of the government officials and military personnel, it would generally be unfair to say the Japanese civilians or civilians of any country deserved being nuclear bombed or have other atrocities committed against them. For the purpose of these types of discussions, it is overly simplistic and sometimes even hateful to just group the individuals into collectives like the Japanese, the Americans etc.
Correct. These statements you are talking about really only mean anything in a world where there is only collective agency. I don’t endorse a lot of my own nation’s foreign policy, so why ought I be culpable for their decisions?
The entrance to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima clearly states the historical fact that the Japanese military invaded China and other countries. In other words, Japan is not unconcerned about its own crimes. I am saddened by the fact that the world's worst weapon was dropped on the heads of the innocent people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, regardless of what Japan did in the Pacific War.
Correction: the bombings of Pearl Harbor was not a simple act of war, since the bombings occurred mainly on weekends, the armed personnel were considered civilians as well. Hope this clears up any confusion about the Japanese civilians didn’t deserve this.
Except unless action was taken against the actual people, the government wasn’t going to stop, and there wasn’t any single government facility nuke site that would’ve convinced the Japanese to end the war, it’s of course heartless, but it saved thousands of American soldiers from going into a deadly ground war on enemy turf
Actually, volcano eruptions are still far worse both on the immediate damage on the surroundings and the aftermaths, so... not All the natural disasters.

Jesus taught that the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is seminal ejaculation! The super elite that run this world are hybrid demons that look human but need sperm to survive! They created Hollywood and Porn and many other pawns to achieve this evil. Seminal ejaculation is why G-d sent the flood to destroy the people in Noah’s day. And now G-d will send Fire to destroy the USA and the world. The USA is the 2nd beast from revelations. The 7 churches are the bodies 7 chakras. Jesus taught these things including reincarnation and karma but the Pope with the Catholic Church rewrote and perverted. Remember to have a true relationship with G-d is to not ever ejaculate the sperm for it creates and draws demons to men! The point of sex is not ejaculation for it is the sin that got Adam cast out of eden. The point is to do work of Abraham to escape this cycle of reincarnation and the evil one Yaldabaoth who in Greek is Cronos. All religions come from Christ for Abraham Buddha Vishnu Thoth Hermes would tell you this. Please read the pistis Sophia. Gnostic teachings online. Gnostic gospels.

In pretty much all atomic bomb videos, I see people who say the Japanese deserved it. My retort is that there’s a difference between individuals (eg Japanese civilians, military personnel, government officials etc) and a collective (eg the Japanese people, the nation of Japan etc).
Most Japanese civilians either just minded their own business or at most supported the war efforts within their own country like civilians in other countries that engaged in the war did during a time when information was not as freely accessible as in uncensored areas today. Mostly only some government officials and military personnel decided on and carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor and other atrocities during WW2.
Since the majority of the blame should be on some of the government officials and military personnel, it would generally be unfair to say the Japanese civilians or civilians of any country deserved being nuclear bombed or have other atrocities committed against them.
For the purpose of these types of discussions, it is overly simplistic and sometimes even hateful to just group the individuals into collectives like the Japanese, the Americans etc.
Correct. These statements you are talking about really only mean anything in a world where there is only collective agency. I don’t endorse a lot of my own nation’s foreign policy, so why ought I be culpable for their decisions?
The entrance to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima clearly states the historical fact that the Japanese military invaded China and other countries. In other words, Japan is not unconcerned about its own crimes.
I am saddened by the fact that the world's worst weapon was dropped on the heads of the innocent people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, regardless of what Japan did in the Pacific War.
Correction: the bombings of Pearl Harbor was not a simple act of war, since the bombings occurred mainly on weekends, the armed personnel were considered civilians as well. Hope this clears up any confusion about the Japanese civilians didn’t deserve this.
Except unless action was taken against the actual people, the government wasn’t going to stop, and there wasn’t any single government facility nuke site that would’ve convinced the Japanese to end the war, it’s of course heartless, but it saved thousands of American soldiers from going into a deadly ground war on enemy turf
The problem is, most of japanese military and gonverment personel died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And civilians were just another cost.
