apparently this applies only to those within the immediate, instantaneous kill zone; for those farther away, the experience would be different and likely extremely painful -> involving severe burns, trauma from flying debris, crushed bones, and later radiation sickness; in these cases individuals might survive for minutes, hours, or days, enduring immense suffering.

Unless your far enough out that you won’t immediately die, then you get lots of horrible side affects, go look at what that looked like in Japan, where a couple bombs where dropped, lots of people having horrible after affects for there life.
fluffysmaster on
If you’re close enough, yet. Beyond that you’ll die of 3rd degree burns and shattered bones. You’ll definitely fell that.
I mean if I gotta die in a war some day… hell yeah, sign me up! Rather that than a slow death of gunshot wounds

I personally much rather not find out.

Depends on the proximity. If you are near/within the fireball, then yes! Instant death. But even the close proximity, you could die a very painful death.

If nuclear war was to happen, I sure hope it lands on my house.

I wish to be at the epicenter if my city is attacked. My atoms just scattered, immaterial.
Beats surviving a nuclear war…

Not a bad way to go considering that 99% of people die in some sort of painful way. People all like to think they’ll just pleasantly pass in their sleep, but it’s much more common to suffer slowly, becoming more and more enfeebled for years. Traditionally “horrendous” deaths like drowning actually involve much less suffering, because even though it’s more unpleasant, it’s over much faster. The nuke would be one of the best ways to go.

There’s this pretty remarkable story about how General Jack Clark had to climb a 300 foot tower to dismantle the ignition timer for a nuclear bomb that “fizzled out” instead of going critical. It was during Operation Plumbbob. If the bomb had gone off while he was up there, he wouldn’t even know it.

that’s why i don’t want to “survive” a nuclear exchange.
i would rather be at ground zero.
tho, i will say the graphic depicted would likely be a painful slow death from radiation poisoning and/or burns as they are not close enough for instant vaporization.
Mustystench on
In Hiroshima, near the epicenter of the blast, peoples shadows were permanently imprinted into the concrete. You could tell exactly where they were standing before they were vaporized.

The Ant-walkers of Hiroshima, jesus man I could never get over reading about em. If I was vaporized by a nuke, count me lucky….
Edit: If anyone has the stomach, “The Last Train From Hiroshima”, heavy fucking read, but powerful nonetheless.

Hmm. Someone needs to read the Army Corp. of Engineers report on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and then reconsider this statement.

Tell that to the tens of thousands of Japanese citizens who, while having the flesh melted off their bones, hurled themselves into the local rivers in an attempt to extinguish their scalded burning bodies

this is only true if you are within the initial blast radius. After that, it’s my top 1 worst way to die.

Such a dumb fact. ANY lethal explosion will instantaneously kill you before pain is felt if you’re close enough.
If nukes get dropped in any place that’ll significantly affect me, I want it to be close enough that I can go outside, strike a funny pose in front of the palest wall I can find, and have that be the last thought through my brain
