It would happen too fast for you to give a shit anyway.

the letter was written by james cameron himself. he just did that so he would be happy about himself

fffffffffffffffffff

the sheer force and power is so fast and intense the human brain cannot calculate what is happening before you die but yeah you will get burnt quite badly though

if your skin gets burned off instantly I doubt you'd feel anything

Don't mind me, just adding to your Paranoia.

I live 30 miles from Washington DC. :(

>Most accurate representation of the effects of an atomic bomb ever caught on film
That doesn't mean its entirely realistic, its just more realistic than the stuff that was out there at the time.

>>45184943
>I doubt you'd feel anything

>people in T2 screaming in pain

>>45184971

Fuck yes, living in the mid west. No country wants to waste money sending a nuclear bomb our way

You won't feel a thing.

no one is ever going to bother dropping a bomb on northern ontario

>I really hope we don't get into a nuclear war

NO SHIT SHERLOCK

Unless you are one of the lucky ones who gets to live in a Vault.

The rest of you losers can have fun with the super mutants!

>>45184984
It also doesn't necessarily refer to the effects on humans, they could have quite easily just meant the actual appearance of the event.

>>45185116
dohoho mexico has a nasty surprise for you, my friend.

VIDEO GAMES

>>45185182

what did we ever do to mexico

Scientists also said nothing would grow in Hiroshima for at LEAST 75 years. New plants started growing the next year.

Scientists have a thing for hyping up the effects of nuclear war just to get people to avoid it. Nuclear Winter is NOT what it's popularly thought to be, it's more like a light Autumn that lasts for a couple of weeks.

>>45185182
>implying Mexico can afford firearms, let alone nuclear weaepons

>>45185253
Now that you mention it, no one's ever going to drop a nuclear bomb in mexico, we're already pretty shit in here.

Indianna jones in the kindom of the crystal skull NOT WHEN HE GETS INTO THE FRIDGE THATS BULLSHIT

but before when we see it go off and the effects it has is probably the best I've seen.

... if autumn began with a blinding flash of light, searing heat that burns the flesh from your bones and a shockwave that can topple buildings.

Yeah, just like autumn.

You'd see it and if your are close enough you die in a few seconds. If you don't get killed by the blast you end up with fallout literately and landscape of the fallout games everywhere

Yup. You'd think the explosion is dangerous, but no, the light that the nuke makes itself will melt you into the wall. Radiation makes you boil into the floor far outside the blast radius. If you were at ground zero of a nuke, consider yourself lucky you will die quickly.

I went to the war museum in Hiroshima.

shit was frightening.

They had pieces of sidewalk emblazoned with the shadows of unfortunate victims. Pieces of glass were embedded an inch deep in concrete, and the water in the city turned completely black, if it wasn't evaporated.

People who were near the outside of the epicenter were either incinerated, severely burned, or had skin hanging off like morbid rags.

FUCK. NUCLEAR WAR.

>>45185398

The inside of the fridge said "lead lined".

>>45185004
I live in midwest iowa, unfortunately I'm 100 miles from SAC, was a prime target in the cold war.

Nukes int he midwest? more likely then you might think.

>>45184936

Not to mention going blind when you see a mushroom cloud at a distance without proper protective gear and getting powerful x rays and being engulfed with radiation and the kinetic energy blowing everything your way.

holy shit i live 15 miles from Washington DC

FUCK

>>45185492

At ground zero you wouldn't have TIME to think. You'd just be vaporized. But yeah, outside the blast radius? Unimaginable pain as a burst of light and radiation hits you. Even if you were JUST far enough to survive you'd get a serious case of sunburn and be permanently blinded.

>>45185522
>implying a thin layer of lead would stop a billion degrees of heat

>>45185553
Ze goggles, they do NOTHING!

This is why I pray for a nuke to fall on New Jersey.

>>45185693

BUT HURP IT ARE FRIDGE, IT RESIST HEET

>>45185522

one shitty 1950s american fridge against megatons of nuclear energy. How dumb are you? He even gets out AND STANDS INFRONT OF THE MUSHROOM CLOUD.

So is it safe to say COD4's nuke was unrealistic?

Would helicopters even spin and crash or would they just blow up?

According to Sagan and his co-workers, even a limited 5,000 megaton nuclear exchange would cause a global temperature drop of more than 35 degrees Centigrade, and this change would last for three months. The greatest volcanic eruptions that we know of changed world temperatures somewhere between .5 and 2 degrees Centigrade. Ice ages changed global temperatures by 10 degrees. Here we have an estimated change three times greater than any ice age. One might expect it to be the subject of some dispute.

But Sagan and his co-workers were prepared, for nuclear winter was from the outset the subject of a well-orchestrated media campaign. The first announcement of nuclear winter appeared in an article by Sagan in the Sunday supplement, Parade. The very next day, a highly-publicized, high-profile conference on the long-term consequences of nuclear war was held in Washington, chaired by Carl Sagan and Paul Ehrlich, the most famous and media-savvy scientists of their generation. Sagan appeared on the Johnny Carson show 40 times. Ehrlich was on 25 times. Following the conference, there were press conferences, meetings with congressmen, and so on. The formal papers in Science came months later.

This is not the way science is done, it is the way products are sold.

>>45185517
>water turned black

What? Explain.

>>45185822

The EMP effect would knock out anything using a chip inside the blast radius and of course the pure force of the explosion sending everything into a whirlwind. Yes. But that spacestation scene was complete bullshit however.

>>45185822
Depends on the distance, the EMP effect would knock out their electronics and most likely the "wind"/blast effect would knock them off a normal flight path.

>>45185824
>One nuclear bomb will change the entire planet

Okay buddy, nukes are scary and all, but they're not THAT powerful.

>>45185822
Yes.

It was MW2's that was bullshit.

Have some Nevada test site:

You missed the sarcasm even with the image.

Even assuming that the fridge could survive the blast how in the hell would a 50+ year old man SURVIVE being tossed several miles through the air without a damn bruise or broken bone?

That scene more or less signaled the movie's ruination to me, even before Shia Lebouf showed up.
