With North Korea threatening a nuclear strike all the way to the United States, a homegrown industry is exploding as people scramble to protect themselves. Sharon Chin reports. (11/6/17)
As long as you are outside the heat and blast zone you'll probably survive the initial detonation. Whether you survive the next few hours depends on whether any targets lie upwind of you and whether they were hit with ground or air bursts (the former generate lots of fallout, the latter, not so much). After that it's down to things like access to food, medicine, your resistance to the bitter cold if nuclear winter or any diseases that take hold. One thing is for sure, no-one's going to be having an easy task of it. Most of us will become forced labour in fields or reconstruction in return for food as authoritarian, martial forms of govt will be the only ones that survive. Those who can't work will become 'useless eaters' unable to justify rations.
I live in Pennsylvania so I highly doubt we’ll get nuclear bombed or even fallout but I’m still going to build one just to be safe but it’ll also be good Incase a tornado comes tearing through
Rural Pennsylvania would likely get fallout, Philly is also a target because it's a transportation hub. Your comment's five months old, but if you haven't started I suggest reviewing Swiss shelter guidelines as a basis as well as Cresson Kearny's work on the subject too. Nuclear war is basically fantasy at this point, but a sturdy NBC shelter is always good in case some insane super plague sweeps the nation.
Oh, I was never worried, our ABM defenses are numerous and diverse and launching a missile at us would be suicide anyway. Nuclear war is just an unattractive option no matter the angle you look at it, unless your goal was nefarious and misanthropic. We were never in any danger.
Best place to be. I wont be installing a nuclear shelter, I've no desire to survive with everything that makes life worthwhile irradiated and incinerated.
military institutions would already have collapsed after the first few, since the first targets are military bases and nuclear silos, so it's unlikely to get past 100.
@@maaz322 Wrong, please educate yourself before sharing opinions with no actual studying on your end in the matter. Its embarrassing to read what your saying when ONE (1) nuclear submarine carries more than 100...we have 3-6 active 24/7. Not even counting bases, so again, go learn about the subject matter first, and then id be happy to continue having a debate, but only as long as you know what your talking about.
They really think that they will survive the nuke😂😂 sitting inside a metal tunnel... of man they are being fooled by the manufacturing company .. bcz they fear a lot
Don't think you are too safe stashed up in your little hole, just because you had the money and others had not. In the worst case scenario people are going to be really pissed that they had to loose people and survive horrible conditions on land while some upper-class slobs chilled in their bunkers. And I guess some will be so pissed that they will start to hunt. Either destroy the air filtration pipes and wait for them to come out of their holes, kill them and loot their stuff or block the entrances and let them die in their tomb
Not if you shoot them first. After the war it won't matter, they'll all be dead anyway. Though it's probably still a good idea not to ho on local tv and advertise your nuke shelter to everyone.
So if you have lots of money you get to live a little bit longer and if you don't you'll have to take your chances above ground the way I see it I'm only passing through and at 60 years old I can care less if they drop a bomb or not the second I see the missiles coming I'm going out to the porch sit in my lawn chair put my sunglasses on pop open a beer and say to myself let's get the roasting over with... above all at that point I'll just put my trust in our Lord and savior.. by the way they push the same agenda and the 50s 60s and 70s the bomb shelter business was booming.. there's lots of money to make in creating fear
love your attitude so many people scared to death even if they survive an initial blast if it's a full on nuke war they are going to most likely wish they would of vaporized with the rest of us.
Water Flow - Absolutely correct! And the nukes now are many times more powerful than Hiroshima. And that was just one nuke, now suppose there are 3 to 4 hundred nukes inbound! LOL (I'll take my chances underground)
The problem is in the aftermath if a nuclear war most of the surface would be contaminated with fallout. So most people would starve or kill each other over resources.
You'd have to shoot anyone who knows about it before climbing down and locking yourself in. That is, if you had time in the 30 mins' warning you'd get to go round all your neighbors houses and put a bullet in each of them. After the war it would all be moot anyway.
I'm not scared of any attack ans my hiuse is at no risk of a tornado or hurricaine damage but damn these bunkers would be just a cool place to stay out in the xountry or a man-cave. And at 30k, that's pretty good
Never Bug out unless your trying to get home! A basement that is prepared is you best chance unless you have a fallout shelter! Now Never come out if bombs fall! You are in a safe place ! As safe as your gonna get!!!!!!
True but I mean the us has got some pretty high tech satellites that could detect a nuclear missile going over the ocean so you'd have a little bit of time
Eh depends on how strong the bomb is and how close you are to it and what you are in....the stronger the bomb, the more destructive it will be and the more radiation it will have. Close it is the more the blast will impact you. And concrete has the most protection from radiation
What you going to do if is a thermonuclear war it's guaranteed almost for a hundred years nothing will be able to live above ground but cockroaches and you got two year worth of food the waste of money so you don't die anyway it's just going to prolong your suffering
@@Jixijenga Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs contained a fraction of the destructive power of today's megaton-class warheads, they were firecrackers by comparison. Plus an all-out exchange would be a very different situation, not least because there would be a prolonged nuclear winter of potentially 5-10 years as a result of smoke from the thousands of destroyed cities and all the forest fires, and with many developed countries having been hit, there would be no help to rebuild as there was after WW2.
@@rich_edwards79 They can be as powerful as they want fifty megatons is the limit due to atmospheric lensing effects and that is still concentrated on target, not out in all the smaller towns and cities that wouldn't receive so much as a submunition. Nuclear winter is also vastly overrated, people assume it would be a perpetual winter for a decade, but in reality the data indicates longer, harsher winters with colder summers for a few decades. (the worst of it being immediate, and quickly dropping off after that) None of this is impossible to survive and neither is all of it put together, especially if you live in a rural area upwind of a major target and far enough to the east to make that last scramble of preparation. Certainly none of this thousand-year crock of shit that I was responding to in the first place.
There's a old 70s fallout shelter a less than a mile from my house that's been for sale for over 30 years and I would kill to own it but I don't have the room but maybe one day.
Yeah, if you don’t count labor, you can dig a muddy hole, but if you want air filtration, secure walls and doors, lights, food, etc. ….that costs something.
If there is ever a nuclear war, anyone who relies on the bunkers that were shown in this video will die of radiation poisoning. They all had the Swiss designed air filtration systems that filter the radioactive air using filters that are kept INSIDE the bunker. The air leaving the filters for the people to breath may be clean, but the highly radioactive particles captured by the filters remain inside the air filtration system, which is kept inside the bunker. Alpha particles and some beta particles will be stopped by the sheet metal canister, but not the neutron particles or the gamma radiation. What’s the good of being 23 feet below the surface if you bring the radioactive particles down with you? And what do people think is going to happen after staying underground for a year? Do they plan to go up to the surface and stop by the local grocery store and buy some food? The next source of food will be whatever they planted and take 9 months to arrive, assuming they know anything about farming. Did the radiation kill all the soil bacteria (critical for growing new crops)? Do they have a wide variety of seeds to plant? Nuclear winter will last years, do they have materials to construct greenhouses? San Diego will be hard hit, with high levels of fallout. After a year, low levels of radiation will continue. Even low levels of radiation add up. It only takes 50 rads of radiation to sterilize a male, and children who are closer to the soil, will absorb twice the amount of radiation that an adult will receive. Will the adult female do all the outside work? The only practical solution is to build your safe haven in an area well up wind (to the West) of any target or nuclear power plant; and travel there shortly BEFORE the missiles fly. Anyone building a fallout bunker East of the Mississippi River, where almost all of the 106 nuclear power plants are, are wasting their money. When you exit your bunker, the area around you will most likely be littered with the extremely radioactive debris that came from several of the nearby nuclear power plants. No, you can’t just switch off one of those plants and leave. And those plants will continue to boil out their radioactive contents for the next 100 years. Good luck even leaving the area before you receive a lethal dose of radiation. If you are going to spend that amount of money, talk to someone knowledgeable of the dangers involved, not just the guy selling you a bunker. When tensions are high, you might decide the cost of taking an extended vacation to Western Australia is a better fit for you. No, I’m not a travel agent.
New Mexico, Arizona, and other states like that are probably safer than coastal states (California, Texas, Louisiana, NY, Georgia, North/ South Dakota, etc. because those are where an invasion could and most likely would happen. I live in CA, Riverside to be exact. I have an Air Force Base nearby, along with an Airport that can land those c-17 large planez that the military uses (the giant 4 engine planes. Chances are, and city with a Military base or Air Force base would get nuked, just because if *I* was the enemy, I'd eliminate most of the threat so I could invade (taking out bases along the coast). That is what I believe anyways. Comment if you agree or disagree, or if you have any other idea and stuff. Thanks for reading and/ or listening 😊
You're probably safer inland, but there are still large cities, military bases and infrastructure such as power plants and dams that could be hit. Yes, the two coasts and the midwest would be smouldering ruins, but there would be a surprising amount of damage in the boonies too.
if we drop a nuclear bomb several miles underground, entire cities nearby will cease to exist. A metal bunker a few feet underground wont save anyone lol
I'd like to see the ICBM that can deliver a warhead 'several miles underground'. Most are detonated 1000 feet up (airburst) to flatten and incinerate soft targets such as cities, ports and airfields. There would be a few that explode on the surface (groundbursts) used to destroy hardened targets such as underground bunkers, tunnels and other facilities. Detonating a nuclear bomb underground would actually contain most of its energy, which is why it's only ever been done in tests and would never happen in war.
You can survive the initial blast/ sure,but even if you emerge 2 years later you're fkd, cold /dark/irradiated food and water supply /chaotic cannibalism and worse 😄
