You're statistically better off if the nuke goes off directly over head.

You're really screwed if it goes off 10 miles from you.

Google "popcorn effect"

Cool, still dead, but better off.... ok

Buster, this is the only time I would ever agree with you -- you took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly what I would do.

No, it won't be safe anywhere within 24 days. Even then, it's not gonna be safe.

Worst case scenario survival tactic with limited funds would be; hoard water, ramen noodles, cans of tuna and one of those clean stoves. Camping stove. Hole up in your basement under a table and put as much crap on top of the table before it collapses.

Prolly won't save you but if you're really worried about a nuclear attack....

PLEASE! That North Korean Piece of S#!% couldn't hit a Damn Island the size of Japan if they wanted it to. These ICBM's are a JOKE and there has not been ONE SINGLE SUCCESSFUL TEST where one of their JUNK ICBM's has actually come CLOSE to hitting the intended Target Zone.

This is why we have a bunch of U.S. Carrier Groups with their Aegis Cruisers which carry the U.S. ABM as well as Satellite Killer...SM-3 Missile. They are out near Australia and the South East Asia Region to be in position to shoot one of these down in the even it goes so off course that it might accidentally hit a Populated Area.

Since these North Korean Monsters are Heavy and Massive and nothing like a Small Light Weight and ACCURATE U.S. ICBM...the sheer Kinetic Force they achieve from reentry from falling out of low orbit will obtain enough force even with a Dummy Warhead to wipe out several city blocks and if it hit a city...it might kill a Thousand or more people if it were to slam into a area with large buildings.

As far as a Nuclear Attack...the U.S. is just a few years from have put in place it's Missile Defense System which will use SM-3's...the FEL or Free Electron Laser as well as the MEB or Microwave Emitting Beam. With such a system in place...the U.S. will be able to vaporize incoming ICMB's as well as their Warheads and any Bombers that would carry nukes. This System is already active in a limited way as everywhere there is a U.S. Carrier Group RIGHT NOW...there is a Group Ship of the Aegis Cruiser Class that can launch SM-3's capable of incredible ranges. Still...a TRULY FOOLPROOF system would have to have incorporated the Direct Nuclear Powered Energy Beaming Weapons that are the FEL and MEB. There are several FEL's already operational and the First U.S. Carrier to have a Nuclear Powered Free Electron Laser will be the USS. CVN-78 GERALD R. FORD which will be the first new Carrier Design since the Nimitz class. The Ford will also have a Elecromagnetic Catapult System and use Stealth. It will also have close to 50% Robotic Drone F/A Designated Aircraft.

The FEL is the Weapon that will make Nuclear ICBM's OBSOLETE. Discover Magazine is quoted as saying that a Nuclear Powered Free Electron Laser can Vaporize a Hole through 1000 Feet of SOLID STEEL IN SECONDS.
Plus an FEL Beam is not like an ordinary Laser as it is not effected by Atmospheric Conditions and tied in to Super Computer Run Target and Acquistioning...it can Split it's Beam many times and even vaporize a target as small as a 50 Cal Round. Also special Satellites with special Mirrors as regular laser mirrors would melt with this kind of Laser will allow Over the Horizon Targeting as well as the ability to use this as an OFFENSIVE WEAPON. Thus by Widening of this Nuclear Powered Laser Beam...LARGE CITY SIZED TARGETS could also be vaporized without the problem of Radiation. These will replace Nuclear Weapons. Split Infinity

Just saying, every situation will be different. It's impossible to be prepared for a nuclear attack and a flash flood at the same time.

The only thing you really have is knowledge. Once you have that, you will be able to survive a multitude of circumstances.

Being prepared for the most likely circumstance is obviously the way to go.

Nuclear attack is at the bottom of my likely scenario's. It doesn't hurt to know tho.

If there ever was a Old Style U.S./Russian Nuclear War...and this has an almost ZERO% chance of happening...but let's say someone screws up and an all out Nuclear War happens...then the WORLD can Kiss it's ASS GOODBYE!

The Radiation alone would be so great that even Deep Underground Bunkers would not have the ability to survive as the Filters for Air Recycling would not last long. As well as there is no such thing as an Unlimited Supply of Anything below Surface.

The World...no matter where you were...would first be Irradiated then the Dust Alone would Create an ICE AGE due to blocking the Suns Rays. Fallout is almost impossible to avoid even if you are prepared to deal with it and very few if any Humans would survive. This is using TODAY"s Nuclear Warhead Numbers and back in the 70's and 80's the U.S. and Soviets had something like over 70 to 80 thousand EACH! Those numbers would have sterilized the Planet for Good!

This is why the U.S. has moved on to Weapon Systems that can do what Nukes do without the Radiation. Such as the FEL or MEB...actually without LINGERING RADIATION! Split Infinity

I like your video a lot! get your message across well. also very well planned out with all of the effects

very cool.

You're 100% correct in your assumptions.

Chances of nuclear war are slim. Even if that slim chance happened, the only thing you have is luck.

Even if you are lucky, your life is going to change, drastically.

Better to die in the blast wave in my opinion. Popcorn wave would suck but it would be fast. Radiation poisoning would be a slow death. Surviving all of that would be hell on Earth.

The Big Loser in the Newly Developed and being installed U.S. Nuclear Missile Shield is PUTIN AND RUSSIA! They were actually given an offer to operate and Jointly Develop an at first Limited ABM System that was to have both American and Russian personal operating a Ground Launch site in Poland and we were going to use both Russian and Polish Radar as well as a new radar system that was to be based in the Czech Republic.

It was to have a compliment of Ground Based U.S. Designed ABM's but both the U.S. and Russia would be at this site and we were supposed to combine Tech and develop an ABM System for Rogue Nation Nuclear Missile Attacks. PUTIN started the BITCHING about how a few ABM's in Poland were going to be able to target Russian ICBM's. STUPID! He knew this small number of Land Based ABM's had no real ability to stop a large Scale Russian ICBM Launch yet he Bitched so much and started so much Anti-U.S. Talk that we decided to start development on a few systems ourselves.

Before Ground was to be broke at the site...several HUGE BREAKTHROUGHS in both Long Burn and Powerful Solid Fuel Tech as well as Smaller Radar but just as powerful and a few new Direct Energy Beam Weapon Systems occurred. We dropped out of the deal and Poland was not happy but after we told them why we were dropping out and told them we would cover their Country under the NEW MISSILE SHIELD...they were happy.

PUTIN...Blew it! He could have had a treaty for joint development. Split Infinity

They dont have missiles that can even reach this far so im not worried. And after they smack florida, our nukes will bombard them and they will be no longer... Thanks for being our lil pawn florida....

I am in a small city in the calif desert and live in a motor home

In about one month my fuel tank will be full and i will have stockpiles it with food for emergencies.

I believe they will hit the big cities first giving me 1 to 8 hours to drive into the desert to one of about 3 mines i know of, all of the mines have protective hills around them to protect them from blast effects.

The mine will give me very good radiation shielding and the motor home will protect most of my supplies

I was trained in the military for nuclear survival NBC warfare school and unless i get caught in a blast i should have few problems.

For the people that plan to set back and have a cold beer leave a few for me to recover after you are gone. .

Thats true, and if they could hit anybody it would most likely be Australia. The farthest missile potential was rumored to hit Florida ,if they got retarded drunk and decided to fight us, but theirs no proof. But in reality it would probably end up being a failed missile launch..

reply to post by dayve

You are correct. The Australian Government asked for U.S. Naval Protection so we have a few Carrier Groups near the area in the event the North Korean Missiles went off course and hit Australia. I have talked to a few Aussies some nice...some very GO HOME AMERICA! This I do not understand as they have no ability to shoot down a North Korean Missile gone off course and if it were to hit Sidney or another large city...it could kill alot of people just by the Kinetic Energy it generates falling out of orbit at such speeds.

Still some Aussies do not take this as serious...the North Koreans are VERY SERIOUS and are a Pain in the Ass!

edit on 21-8-2012 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)

exactly this......its all you could do if your in the hot zone.

Still if it was from N korea...i wouldnt be to worried about it....hell their missles cannot even reach miami..they can't even get off the ground without failing in the first stage.

Russia and maybe even China on the other hand.......WOOF

First get practical, do something for your loved ones and THEN relax and watch the display.

The first thing you do to protect yourself and the ppl around you from radiation is take a significant amount of iodene. If you don't have potassium iodide ready, kelp or nori or any other sea plant is next best.

After the lights display, assuming you're still alive, have a shower, it will wash off some radiation.

This thread is what I like on ATS - good proper discussion going on here!

Some of you may have seen this little Google Maps overlay thing, it's pretty interesting.
It gives you a wide range of nuclear weapons to select for use in whatever area you want, by navigating with Google Maps.

Ground Zero: Google Maps and Nuclear Weapons

It appears as if this one has changed a bit, last time I used the thing it had altitude selections and fallout measures with a legend. Still interesting nevertheless.

EDIT: Found the newer one; Ground Zero II.

Ground Zero II

This one has pressure, fallout and a little description.

I'd hug my dogs and cry

You know, most of those probably under 35 or so have probably never seen, "the Day After" or "threads". 2 80's movies that look at global (us/ussr) nuclear war. A bit cheezy by today's standards....but sobering.

I was in my early teens when i first saw "The Day After".

To this very day, i have never seen a more terrifying movie in my life. It was shown in 1984 when Reagan was famously confronting the "evil empire". The cold war during that time had the potential to go hot at any moment, as Able Archer could attest to.

I downloaded it as well as Threads to watch again a few years ago. Yeah, they are cheesy by todays standards, but the message is no less chilling, as are the attack scenes. Everyone should watch these movies.

Other movies for your appocalyptic viewing needs: Countdown to Looking Glass, Testament, Miracle Mile, Special Bulletin and my personal favorite, even if its not nuclear in nature, The Road.

Most probably buy a bottle of Bacardi rum and enjoy my last few drinks.

Are you preppared?

No, haven't bought them yet. Will buy when the announcement is made - maybe get a discount at the end sale.
