Wow smart thinking. Honestly if it was a nuke... That place would have probably been one of the best places for survival.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Survival? Yeah maybe the initial blast. But then what? Martial law? No food? Anything goes? Fuck that. Unless you're a multimillionaire with a $500,000 underground safe locked up bunker with 1yr/food and supplies? Why worry bout "surviving the blast." One white flash. U wouldn't feel a thing. Why I'm glad where I live. In Kansas City. One top5 targets in USA because of all missile silos we have in Missouri. White flash, mushroom cloud, wouldn't feel a thing. The lovers are the survivors of initial blast

[@thehappyfrog1164]

actually if the Koreans have old data that sight is most likely on there list of strike targets since it being an ex-military

[@oahuhawaii2141]

Oahu island is full of bunkers. This won't be on the list of targets because NK doesn't have hundreds of nukes on ICBMs that can accurately target specific locations there.

Awesome “ALOHA” Great job Kualoa Ranch Staff and employees!!!!

[@DoctorRennie]

Good job you guys! Mahalo!

[@walterye5801]

been there, i love Kualoa Ranch

[@bikotheanimator6169]

At least they had a bunker unlike the rest of the island.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

Island has lots of bunkers. So many that some have been rented out as secure storage sites for private citizens and businesses. Folks have put things such as wine collections or fireworks in those bunkers.

[@thehappyfrog1164]

dude all of you guys handled that like bosses

[@denawalters176]

Well done.

[@Baysahiyah]

There was a few stories that i heard of some stores like walmart and other big businesses shutting doors on people and never helped at all..

[@surrfside]

Ummm well Duh? Looting dude. What other reason would people even go there for? Shelter? Lol no. A Wal-Mart would be a death trap and would be a pile of debris in a second after the nuke drops

[@raydonttrip2023]

Well yeah it's a nuke or bomb comeing going to start riots and fall outs thoes big companies don't want to loose all there goods and and turn into a battle zone

[@barbie6695]

@@raydonttrip2023So if a nuke was coming, they’d be worried about saving their product? 😂 If that was the case, people would just break in for supplies.

[@hebneh]

You might survive nuclear explosions in there...but with no food or water, your longterm survival wouldn't happen, unfortunately.

[@prestongarvey875]

They could have eaten the old and weak for a while from the sheer amount of people piled in there

[@oahuhawaii2141]

The bunker is used to protect people from the blast and fallout. People can leave the site after a while and then try to survive in a post blast situation. Lots of food and water on and around the island.

[@hebneh]

@@oahuhawaii2141 In the 1950s and '60s, it was said that you'd need to stay in a fallout shelter for two weeks before leaving it. Since the Kualoa Ranch bunker almost certainly has no water supply anymore, and definitely no food, hundreds of people could not survive in it for that amount of time. There would be no electricity after a nuclear attack, and thus no pumped water, and the surviving population of Oahu would (at the very least) have to struggle to get to flowing fresh water streams to stay alive.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

@@hebneh: That was on the expectation of a full-scale nuclear war, meaning multiple warheads cross-targeting each key military site. Pearl Harbor alone had at least 5 warheads programmed to hit it due to the CEP of their launch platform at the time. NoKo doesn't have many ICBMs. I recall reading that their bombs are too big to fit in their current missiles, so they have to shrink it more. Also, the guidance systems can't put the warhead on target, and the re-entry into Earth's atmosphere would burn up their warhead. Thus, they only can put a dummy payload that will largely miss Oahu, and the warhead would burn up unless it was a solid chunk of metal (too heavy) or covered in ablative material (not mastered yet).

[@amstevens23]

Omg that would have sucked. Get the shot scared out of you for a false alarm.

[@jamesmccloud3916]

The missiles would have been there in 20 minutes All of them would have been dead before they could even open the door to the bunker Not to mention if it was more than one missile United States military doesn't have the capability to shoot them all down

[@oahuhawaii2141]

Long range missiles, such as ICBMs, do not travel to the target location. They boost the warheads to altitude, where they release the warheads to fall to their targets and detonate.

[@hades947]

First of all, the missle would have taken less than 10 minutes to hit after the warning...so all that prepping to load buses was dumb

[@eliasgarcia3694]

hades you say this as if every single part of the island would have been hit in the first strike.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

The best estimate I heard by experts is 18 minutes after US military sensors have computed the likely trajectory of the warhead. Not much time to get all the slow pokes and stragglers on the buses, drive them to the bunker, unload them, walk them into the bunker, and close the door. But the good thing is that the site is an unlikely target, and it has a mountain range that blocks people from the blast and fallout in the initial moments after detonation.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

FYI, the missile (ICBM) is only part of the delivery system, and does not travel to the target site. It releases the warhead(s) at altitude to fall to the target(s).

[@jasonpeters9865]

Lol..why would u wanna survive a Nuclear attac?. People r clueless. Its worse to survive than just to go in flash of white light
