[EAS] Limited Exchange

[@MrNicoPela]

Loved the meme tweets. Makes the whole thing more realistic than it should.

[@2001Starboy]

i knew it was a scenario but it looked so realistic that I was checking the news to be sure😂

[@Gypsy-Tongue]

Grell Sutcliff, great profile picture

[@Eric_Hutton.1980]

Finally one of these videos where the list of targets makes sense.

[@lieutenantpito6992]

9:27 This makes the scenario even more horrific??? Imagine being threatened to be neutered when a nuke is dropping soon

[@jayfeather31]

Really enjoyed this, although in light of the ongoing situation in Ukraine, this hits close to home. I also appreciated how you showed command and control links failing, preventing a coherent response from being sent out until it was too late. That's not something that gets touched on.

[@Mind_Crimes]

You mean the threatening exchange? "Don't fucking move."

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

That’s why he did this video for the authenticity and high probability

[@johng.3740]

I thought about this video today while driving, you know since many people no longer watch over the air or cable TV, they might only get a warning on their cell phones. So maybe there could be an emergency scenario where a person receives a warning about an incoming ballistic missile alert on their cell phones....they quickly get on Twitter or other news aggregators, the internet, in the person's area, is very slow since so many people are using it at the same time, the cell phone emergency alert tells them to tune to a local radio station, the person finds out that they have about 15 minutes to get to minimum safe distance. The person lives in a high rise apartment near the city center. You hear and see the person quickly scurrying about (first person view) getting keys and a backpack full of stuff, food water, looking for a flashlight, batteries, etc. They receive another cell phone alert telling them they now have 10 min before impact, (sort of like a count down), the person goes into overdrive as they frantically try to get whatever they think is valuable into their backpack. You hear them breathing hard and quickly as they feel panic coming on, they quickly bound down the stairs (in the background you hear the cell phone alert going off again, the person doesn't look at it) they get into the car and floor it trying to get away from the center of their city. The streets may be covered in snow or it may raining. On the way to trying to get away from the center of the city, the person drives recklessly as many others are also frantically trying to escape, they drive on sidewalks, on the wrong side of road, eventually the person driving gets into a crash, they are still conscious. Then the screen goes white in the nuclear flash, for about 15 seconds, the person is really close, then a second or two later the boom and shockwave as the car tumbles about. (For some reason I imagine a guy running about trying to escape rather than a girl, maybe a girl might run around trying to escape)

[@catsandfriends5918]

I actually thought about this on my way home from work. I have a 45 minute commute so if a nuke goes off while I'm on the road, my best chance is to find the nearest building...if I can get off the expressway.

[@heyitsjeffagain]

That’s an excellent scenario. You’re a very creative writer.

[@johng.3740]

@@heyitsjeffagain Thanks, I hope someone can make it into an EAS video. It's easy to develop the big idea but....filling in the details is where all the difficult work lies, you know.....dialog, characters......this piece may be short enough where it may be possible to get away without extensive character development.

[@johng.3740]

It would be interesting if the intro to the video had a sound clip of the UVB-76 numbers station, but not just the typical buzzing sound but actual voice information and people can hear others talking in the background of the numbers station.

[@TheGryfonclaw]

In another perspective, you might have a mother rushing out of work to find her kids

[@BuckFudweiser]

A Niel Peart quote? God, I can only see Niel Peart bringing us solace in these trying times. RIP you absolute king.

[@KingThrillgore]

First off, great stuff. This is even better than the watershed. The addition of social media really sells this. 9:25 I swear i've heard these people before on another mock. Jakob, you contracting out some performances on this one? Also 10:14 once again, Jesus said its my turn on the EAS.

[@caelmcleish1212]

I was not prepared for the Neil Peart quote to finish this off. Great touch. Rush on!

[@caramelcandy6343]

Holy shiiiiit this got me so good!!! Im a huge eas fan and after a year or two of watching them they haven't scared me the same way since this one! Most of them focus on the big and loud, but when there was that long period of silence at the end with the audio inbetween when the eas was hijacked? you put a pit in my gut! You've earned this sub hardcore man, cannot wait to see the amazing stuff you come up with. ill be a long time member, cant wait till the million mark.

[@thoralexander9387]

God I love that Rush quote towards the end. It's one of my favorite songs, and fits perfectly

[@brentsilvey2288]

The Kingsbay, GA alert hit close to home. I live in Georgia myself and I have family that lives in Savannah.

[@thoralexander9387]

Yeah. I used to be stationed there. Unfortunately, it would probably be a target

[@Eric_Hutton.1980]

The home of the US Navy Atlantic based ballistic missile submarines. That is if I remember correctly.

[@thoralexander9387]

@@Eric_Hutton.1980 Indeed you do! That is the homeport of the boomers. I wish we still had permanent presences in Holy Loch or Rota though. Those would be cool.

[@planetaryevolution4853]

Do they happen to be at The Marsh House? (sorry thats a Walking Dead reference)

[@Kyolover8]

I live in GA as well although I'm 5 hours away from Kingsland. Even being that distance still hits close to home for me... I'm not sure about radius when it comes to nuclear attacks but this feels like it would be still devastating to a huge chunk of GA

[@heatherharger9709]

Request: Can one be done about the sudden apprarance of all kinds of Metahumans(Re.: DC and Marvel Comics, other comics) all over the planet? I am referring to humans and humanoids that suddenly appeared and they all have really bizarre powers and abilities. Some look like people, some are humanoids. This sort of thing, should it happen for real, could prove interesting, even cause planetary panic. Some of the metahumans use magic alone and/or with other powers and other abilities. Nice work. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mind_Crimes]

Wonder why the choir music plays before the impact. Might it be like the old BBC instructions on playing 'light' music for several minutes before announcing tragic news?

[@stratojet94]

Can never miss one of these...

[@tylerbrass4002]

Best one I have seen in a long time. Your content never disappoints Jakob.

[@Rick-mn5zy]

I love how you used the video of chemical plants exploding in Ukraine for nuke footage in the beginning because I have seen people try to lie and say they were nukes IRL a lot. IIRC the explosions were the result of warfare in the Donbas region in...about the same time as this scenario actually

[@TheRandomeer]

A nice morning to wake up to a Jakob Hill video!

[@aneveningwithebola2727]

I appreciate the reference to one of my favorite Rush songs

[@lucasquintanilla1673]

As horrific as such a scenario would be this is surprisingly survivable since almost all the targets were in rural areas and the only major urban areas affected to my recollection were the Washington DC and Seattle areas meaning that not only would the nation almost certainly survive this but more tragically whatever conflict started the exchange might actually continue regardless of the nuclear exchange.

[@DFW_04]

Tbh Seattle getting glassed is a blessing in disguise I’m also surprised Los Angeles survived this one since has one of the largest domestic ports and is right next to a large naval base

[@Trainlover1995]

@@DFW_04In this scenario, the only targets hit were ones housing nuclear weapons, or were part of nuclear command and control links. No need to hit a military base that has zero nuclear weapons, and targeting cities makes zero strategic sense beyond proving how depraved you are.

[@20tigerpaw20]

im a year late but here is my take: farmland is a more viable nuclear target as it will not only destroy the current years office, but also keep the land unusable for atleast 1-2 years(if its not a dirty bomb), meaning food will get scarce REAL FAST. as such mass starvation will kill more then a single city strike could. also, if they manage to disrupt major highways that would slow down transport of already existing food storage too.

[@WednesdayAddamsMW]

​@@DFW_04The Russians didn't think LA was worth the trouble, and even if they did, such a deliberate targeting decision could've resulted in an all-out exchange.

[@BuckFudweiser]

Now I wonder, if during a national crisis like this, if I drove to WalMart or another store if they would allow us to access essential items like food and stuff if we didn't have the money to pay for it. I live in a crap income and would be super desperate as I know I wouldn't have the necessary items to survive an event like this. No I'm not talking about just stealing things like TVs and luxuries. But basic non perishables and stuff.

[@GeoNeilUK]

I'm not sure of what to think of the EAS not even pretending to have hope, just playing a hymn until the bombs fall.

[@businessbuzz2]

live just down the road from Kingsland so the commercials would have been on our local TV

[@tomarsandbeyond]

We probably won't get warnings like this on our tv's unless we use old fashioned cable tv or antennas. Unless EAS works with Netflix and other streaming services. Phone text could be the only alert we get.

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

Xfinity cuts off to the EAS testing even when you’re on Netflix/Hulu/etc.

[@tomarsandbeyond]

@@BIGJBIGEBIGC looked it uP and as of sometime last year this was being rolled out. But the article I saw was not clear as to if this affects streaming on pc's, tv's, phones or all of those. And not clear if it is the provider or the isp that does it. I watch youtube on a tv. Its also possible that governments might decide not to send out any warning at all. For my radio setup I also have a weather radio with a dedicated external antenna that will sound a loud alarm, IF one gets sent out thru NWS. I have it for tornadoes and floods and stuff like that.

[@tomarsandbeyond]

Hmm so I could be watching this on yt and a real alert shows up and I would be like, heck this is realistic!

[@KingThrillgore]

You have a cell phone right? You'll get an alert there.

[@tomarsandbeyond]

@@KingThrillgore why depend 100% on phone? It could be not available or not working or the alert does not get sent out that way. That would be like tv stations not telling anyone about a tornado because supposedly "everyone has a phone." They alert by multiple means and there is good reason for it.

[@PocketsandOutlaw]

Wow, does the (x165) mean those first targets were hit that many times? I'm guessing that's where our retaliatory weapons would be?

[@phlemdog]

Striking distributed ICBM silos.

[@PocketsandOutlaw]

@@phlemdog Why 165 times though? Wouldn't a dozen-or-so be plenty?

[@phlemdog]

@@PocketsandOutlaw the silos are spaced out far enough that you need one per, and since there are 150 silos, each one needs one. Add in ones for the control centers, plus one for the base.

[@AnonYmous-dh2zt]

@@PocketsandOutlaw Bear in mind that most of the warheads were probably MIRVs, so the amount of missiles fired would have been a lot lower

[@Hendrickfan4Life]

Can you do one with Michigan

[@ITILII]

Whoever sent over their bundle of nukes targeted military installations (Counter force) Only city I saw was Washington, DC which being the center of government would have been a prime target. Since I didn't see any other cities and the military bases are in rural areas, don't see that major urban areas would be impacted, nor subject to much fallout.
