As you may have noticed, we like to blow stuff up on this channel. So when the International Red Cross approached us to collaborate on a video about nuclear weapons, we were more than excited.
Until we did the research. It turned out we were a bit oblivious off the real impact of nuclear weapons in the real world, on a real city. And especially, how helpless even the most developed nations on earth would be if an attack occurred today.
So hopefully this video demonstrates how extremely non fun a real world nuclear attack would be, without being too gruesome. This collaboration was a blast (no pun intended) and we want to say a huge thank you to the International Red Cross!

    The power of the sun, forged into a weapon, in the hands of men. I can't think of anything that frightens me more.
  • @Lalalasoar
    As a Japanese, i was taught that the survivors (but dying) of HIroshima and Nagasaki were ringing like bells because of the lots of pieces of glass in their bodies and they had their peeled skins in their hands. it is just terrifying.

    Basically, being immediately evaporated is the best case

    "What if we nuke a city?" Everyone: "How about we don't."
  • @user-nb2mw1py1j
    "We cannot change the fact that Hiroshima was the first atomic bombing site. However, it is up to us whether Nagasaki will be the last.'' As a Japanese citizen of Nagasaki, I will deliver these words to the world.

    Greenland 🇬🇱: My capital is Nuuk. North Korea 🇰🇵: DID YOU SAY NUKE?!
  • My grandfather lost his right leg in the war and was transferred from a hospital in Hiroshima to another hospital far away. If my grandfather's hospital transfer had been delayed, I wouldn't be here now. So what is said in this video is not someone else's problem for me. I hope that today's politicians and military do not make wrong or terrible choices for the sake of those who are yet to be born.

    Kurzgesagt last week: "Ants are cool aren't they?" Kurzgesagt this week: " let's nuke a city"
  • @dreamingto90s
    "You're the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves...and the world is not prepared." The quote from the movie makes sense now...
  • It is absolutely mind-boggling that mankind can invent something that is hotter than the sun.
