Surviving a nuclear attack - Irwin Redlener

It’s 2022, THIS GUY NEEDS TO COME BACK AND DO ANOTHER VIDEO !

Nuclear bomb, get under desk. Earthquake, get under desk. Lava, get on top of desk!

My great grandfather lived in a small village outside Nagasaki, he saw the explosion from far away but it didn't harm him. He went to the city the next day to see the devastation. He later moved to the USA and became an engineer. I still have several artifacts that he recovered from Nagasaki that day, among them is a watch and hands still point to the exact time the explosion happened.

With war looming between the US and Russia. It unfortunately is a necessity to learn as much as possible on how to survive a nuclear attack. May we never have to worry about surviving an attack. May God help us all.

Well this aged like a fine wine.

The most interesting thing about surviving a nuclear apocalypse, is that I have no interest in surviving a nuclear apocalypse.

Funny seeing everyone here, goodluck gentlemen.

Thanks youtube algorithm, absolutely perfect time to recommend this! *anxiety intensifies

Ted talks certainly have deteriorated.

You just get in a vintage refrigerator, right?

I spent a winter in a nuclear fallout area once, mutated freaky people, no daylight for months on end, fighting in the streets over food and breeding rights, In the summer though, Aberdeen was actually alright

Sad I'm trying to learn something from this because of how close we are to nuclear war.

Funny how in the beginning he laughs about "duck and cover"-stuff and fifteen minutes later recommends exactly the same thing.

This aged well...9 years ago people came here for the giggles...2022 people taking notes studying

The problem I have with most mockery of "duck and cover" or shelter criticism is that most people look at it like you are trying to avoid destruction ay ground zero. Well DUH being under a desk at ground zero does nothing but if you are a few miles from the explosion such shelter protects you from flying glass, thermal effects and debris from the shockwave. Not everyone will be at the hypocenter of a nuke explosion. Some will simply be in areas where you CAN avoid burns or broken glass which, after the event is extremely important because first aid will be a luxury. Avoiding injury that could become infection is very important.
