After a nuclear war the few remaining survivors would emerge and immediately start arguing about who owns all the holes in the ground.

Isn't it a shame that the bunkers are built for those who would cause the war!

Honestly the scariest thing about this video is that these bunkers exist - that those with the capability to launch these weapons may think themselves immune from their repercussions

And my landlord would still expect rent

"You're still coming into work, right?"

It's amazing how one person can piss off another yet a bunch of innocent people are the ones who have to pay for it.

"War does not determine who is right - only who is left." - B.Russell

It feels like the more often politicians are asked not to escalate the conflict, the louder they scream at each other “look, it’s all their fault.” Is that human nature?

"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves" -- The Terminator

The worst prospect of nuclear war is not death...it's survival.

“Maybe I SHOULD have gotten that extended warranty”

I'm sure glad I watched this before going to bed.

It's disgusting how the people calling the shots will be the ones that are affected the least.

" A Nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing in a room a washed in gasoline, one has 5000 matches and the other has 7000 matches " ....Carl Sagan

I live in NYC and that's great. Myself and almost everyone I know won't have to worry about food and survival

The best strategy is...not to play.👍

"I do not know what WW3 will be fought with, but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones" - Albert Einstein

What really frightens me about this nightmare scenario is the the fact that the oligarchs around the world really believe that they can survive this madness.

All peoples of America need to see this.

The crime rate would immediately fall by half.

That definitely sucks. The exact same people who get to decide whether we have a nuclear war are those that are most protected from its effects.

I grew up during the height of the cold war next to a major air force base. As a kid I voiced concerns to my mother. Her response... we're lucky. WE'LL be dead instantly

Where do people gets those guts to name that destructor satan😢

I told a friend about the current risk of nuclear war. His response: "I wish you never told me. Its bad enough they don't know...worse yet, they don't want to know.

If I knew a nuclear war was coming, I wouldn't want to survive it. If I knew where the nearest warhead was targeted in my home city, I'd drive out to it, grab a deck chair, open a can of Bourbon and coke and watch the sky show. When the BBC broadcast the movie "Threads," they pulled no punches about the realities of the aftermath of a nuclear war. Apparently it was also dubbed into Russian. It did more for nuclear disarmament in one night than years of negotiations

Like Einstein once said, " I do not know what weapons would be used in WW3, but the next war after that one would be fought with sticks and stones."

Wow that shadow thing is frightening

Despite the deeply unsettling theme of this video, I managed to find your voice quite soothing... along with the refreshingly accurate pronunciation of the word nuclear.

Imagine surviving in a bunker, living the last 1-12 months of your life underground, knowing the world is dying. This is psychologically devastating.

Sad and probably the scariest thing about this is that we will probably never know what just happened in time to even tell our families that we love them. In other words, our own country will not even tell us about the launches. Politicians will simply scurry their coward little asses off to their little bunkers and let the rest of us perish. And remember that we as voters seem to insist on letting politicians be voted into office instead of true American patriots that care about all the people here in the states over their paychecks.

Just relaxing on a Sunday morning , cruising you tube.

What a well researched documentary! I ma more informed with this piece.

We are closer to this in 2024 than we have ever been. People seem to not care or even understand it is happening.

I've never been this concerned about nuclear war since I was a 10-year-old boy living 25 miles from N.Y.C. in 1962. During that time in October 1962, I would constantly look out of my back-yard window towards N.Y.C. waiting for the great flash of light of a 9-megaton hydrogen bomb. My ten-year-old brain told me that if I could see the bright flash of light, I would have enough time to gather my little brother and mom and dad and direct them down into our basement cellar where we could duck and cover. Little did I know what the power of a nuke could do. I have never felt this close to a nuclear war, not even when President Ronald Reagan left the summit table and walked out of peace talks in the 1980s. Today, I'm concerned more about the future of my adult kids and grandchild than for my own life. I pray to God every day that we don't have war. Even an accidental launch toward NYC or Washington D.C. will mean the end of civilization as we know it. JMHO as a boy who grew up during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

War, war never changes.

please force all the politicians to watch this 22 times.

I'm afraid the question isn't "if" but "when" a nuke will be used, either accidently or otherwise.

I don't like watching videos like this, but I do belive this subject deserves more attention. I also want to note the high quality of explanation in this video

Not a bad scenario for the rest of us, we would move on quickly and the country would be better off as a result.

the most scary part is all the knowledge from a thousand years will also gone.

If there is ever a nuclear war, all I hope is that I'm in the middle of one of the blast radius.

Well that was a cheerful video.

Nice presentation!!

We are now closer to this then the world has ever been and nobody really seems to care or understand what’s happening.

It is senseless that Russia and the U.S. have over 5,000 nukes each. It would probably take less than 100 missiles apiece for East-West to obliterate each other. Of course, it's obscene that these nightmare weapons exist in any number. A very few people have the power of life or death for billions. It is surreal. Great production. cheers!

did I miss the tiny portion of this video that covers what is in the title (what if a nuclear bomb hits New York tomorrow)??

"Sir ma'am, we're calling about our new exciting rates on health insurance, do you have a few moments"?

Imagine surviving. Man that would suck worse than dying.

Anyone who missed 70's and 80's those days are back.

if you want a movie that depicts the immediate aftermath of a nuke in NYC for survivors of one apartment building, check out The Divide

"Hey, what happened to Bill? " "Oh, Bill, yeah, he stepped on a nuclear landmine."

Rest in peace everyone in advance 😭💔🙏🙏🙏🙏

2:01 The detonation of the Tsar Bomba on Novaya Zemlya was so powerful that the shock wave broke windows as far away as Finland and Northern Norway. They couldn't have the yield to 100 Megatons, because the pilot wouldn't have been able to get away in time. The airplane really struggled with "only" 50 Megatons.

Could you speed that up to today?😂

REMEMBER THAT MOVIE YEARS AGO "THE DAY AFTER" STARRING JASON ROBARDS?

Following the Great War of 1914-18, Winston Churchill said, “War does not determine who is right - only who is left.”

The most tragic part of a nuclear war would be surviving it

The raddi of destruction shown on the maps of midtown Manhattan are almost certainly too small according to the stated distances. They should be about twice as large.

In the summer of 2005 I just came out from being homeless and I had a dream that I was in midtown and it was hit by a nuke. I didn’t even know what a nuke was back then, I just heard a loud explosion from inside a office building and we all rushed downstairs like we were in the twin towers, and when we got outside we saw a large black cloud from a distance and ran the other way but it caught up to us in no time and crushed us with heat debris, and pain. I shot up out of my sleep and couldn’t go back to sleep for the rest of the night at 3am. It left an impression on my mind for the rest of the week.

The one important factor not covered here is flight time , most would never make it to their bunkers due to the speed these missiles can fly , a sub sitting off our coast firing a missile would hit it's target in literally a few minutes

After the world is reduced to a wasteland, Detroit will be like: "We are no longer alone".

I was having a really bad day, then this came up in my recommendations. So I watched it and feel much better now 🤭

Well that was uplifting

Thank you for this uplifting content 😄

If anyone wants to know what a post-nuclear war world looks like, watch the movie "Threads". It's terrifying, the ones who are killed instantly would truly be the fortunate ones.

I am enjoying the commentary

Humanity has a chance, buy your spot in a vault today!

Living in a bunker for a few months will not save anyone, you'll need to stay underground for at least a decade.

What I find incredible is simply that about eight people in the world have the ability to destroy the world and murder 8 billion people. No one has that right. No one. How did something so precious and unique as humanity come to this?

now i know what "KISS YOUR ARSE GOODBYE", means.

Yellowstone Super Volcano... triggered by a bomb blast? Please provide a refrence for that

I ask myself, HOW did we as a human race actually ever end up with something that could destroy our planet!?! Wtf.

Oh… no…. Not New York….. No…….

The sewer bubbles and disappears. Is there a down side? Disappearing manure piles are usually a good thing.

One positive, the literacy rate would go up without New York to pull it down.

Me: *having a pretty good day* This video: let’s put an end to that shall we?

What about people living in central Australia and other very remote places? They are used to live on very little.

"when the rich wage war it's the poor who die" 😭

The world leaders should see this. They bet for their own survival in the bunkers not knowing its just a prolonged death.

Thank you for not sugarcoating it. The only people to survive (for a while) will be the ones that start it.

Question is who fires first? What is more pressing is the thought that "If we don't fire first we'll get the worst of it", which pushes these madmen to desire the unthinkable.

I agree. "For humanity the situation doesn't look good". 😂

It's scary how true this is, and even scarier how close the world is to this scenario at the moment.

A nuclear exchange between the US and Russia would be so horrific that it's beyond imagination, it would be our Extinction Level Event.

Damn i hope my work place won't be that messy i don't want to over time to clean it

During the war what currency are we going to be using

Thanks for making people aware of the disasters of a nuclear war.

He is actually making it out to be better than it really would be. If a 1 MT airburst at 1500 feet goes off within 20 miles of you, you are likely going to have a very bad day unless you are behind a substantial structure.

I do bet there are about 5 n.b. with the NY target set. 3 from Ru and 2 from Ch.

My boss: “Can you come in tomorrow?”

I have always believed that the world is run by psychopaths, but no one has the fortitude to eliminate them.

It would be as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

This upload was amazingly informative to ppl like me who haven't the slightest idea of what would take place in the event of such a catastrophic nuclear exchange. It would certainly be the end of mankind as we know it, for sure!

This would be sheer MADNESS

Here I was worrying about disappointing my parents. Thank you, KZfaq content creator! You've showed me that my meaningless problems are soon to have far less meaning.

Awesome, well narrated. Good job Destiny 👍

Let me start to pay my ticket to the sky ,Elon Musk is busy preparing sky for the foreigners from planet earth 😅

Well, I'm going to vault 33. Kidding, but I am viewing this video only months from D-day. I guess we'll see how things go.

Another video that throughly scares the 💩 out of me. Good job destiny! 👍 (I hope the Powerpuff Girls can save us!)

someone once told me that if we were actually hit he hopes that he’s right in the center of it and now that I watch these videos and think, he’s right ..
