The desk was supposed to protect from falling debris caused by the damage to structure from nuclear blast. Check out references to Civil Defense protocols. Those were interesting times. Take care.

A very true picture of a Nuclear detonation. I am a nuclear veteran from the late1950's and your description of a nuclear burst brings back memories of the intensity of the light, I had my hands covering my eyes and could see the bones in my hands for a few seconds and then feel heat on my back from the initial burst, we were told it was safe to stand up and look at the detonation which by then was a giant cauldron of water and earth creating a column stretching skywards. A visible black line rushed towards us and lifted us of our feet, that was the sound of the detonation. Something that I will remember forever.

I joined the British Army during the cold war and was stationed in Germany as a combat engineer. We trained relentlessly to possibly fight a war in an NBC ( Nuclear,Biological and chemical ) environment, doing extended exercises and living and sleeping in NBC suits and respirators. The drills you have to go through to decontaminate yourself for urinating/defecating and the procedures just to drink water and eat and is a very taxing, even in training. Main points we learnt. The war would basically be survival and to continue fighting is unrealistic for most If you are a casualty in such an environment, you are pretty much dead....the treatment and evacuation of a casualty is hard to basically impossible If it was not for the fact that we would be fighting to protect our families, the consensus was that the best place to be would be directly under the mushroom cloud and get it over with Survival for the vast majority of people, military and civilian would not be possible. Once every infrastructure collapsed, people would die from lack of clean water/food/sanitation/medications/minor and major wounds/elderly without care/bandrity, let alone long term medical issues.....its not a good outcome it puts things into perspective when you have the personal dosimeters explained.....every soldier is issued a unique wristwatch type dosimeter, returned after every exposure to be read for radiation accumulation back at central medical HQ. The result is kept secret from the soldier.....but if the soldier has received fatal doses of radiation, they will be sent out repeatably until they die instead of another soldier who has received possibly a lighter dose and will be returned to the rear to hopefully live.

And then here we have folks thinking it's all a hoax.

The one main thing is if it ever came to 60% of the population within let's say 1 year, 50% of any remaining would be wishing they had perished. So long as there is one idiot in this world with a finger on that button, the world will never be a place to feel safe. We are way too primitive, take away all nuclear capabilities and we still have conventional. We won't be happy at any time so long as someone wants what someone else has or visa versa. Our primitive state may never evolve, get used to it. Plain and simply, we may never become intelligent in the next thousand years to escape our demise as a species. Not that many won't try to out think it but remember, there are too many weak links in this civilization and we all know that theory.

This issue is virtually ignored today. I'm the same age as the author in this piece, and when we were in high school it was the height of the Cold War. It was terrifying. We lived knowing at any moment we could be incinerated. The U.S. and Soviet Union were mortal enemies and had been for 40 years. Then in 1991 it was suddenly over. The U.S.S.R. was dissolved and Russia was not our enemy. The chances of a nuclear holocaust were reduced to practically nil. It was glorious. However, all those too young at the time and all those born later lived in a world where no one talked about nuclear weapons. Two generations lived without the threat, without any knowledge of what these weapons arsenals could do. Now we are suddenly thrust back into a time of nuclear peril, but 1/2 the world's population is massively under informed or knows nothing of this renewed threat to humanity and the bulk of life on our little world. A great and necessary video. Thanks for making it and helping to inform the masses.

There was also a British made movie called Threads released the same year which is far grittier and more realistic and involves a nuclear attack on the UK - specifically from the perspective of bombs falling on the city of Sheffield. The movie was done as a kind of part drama and part documentary and is enough to put anyone off the idea that nuclear war can be won or have any benefits to those who "push the button".

Revelation chapters 17 & 18 describes the destruction of "Mystery Babylon" (USA) by FIRE in a SINGLE HOUR. Her allies and trading partners bewail her fate, but NONE come to her aid. Jesus warns us: "COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE..." (Rev.18:4-5). This warning is akin to that given to Lot and his family, when they fled from Sodom & Gomorrah. Your choice - stay & burn, or LEAVE & LIVE.

[@johnkeating362]

I remember that film really well. It was shocking. I also remember another television movie titled “We Interrupt This Program” or something like that, that took the form of a live breaking news event involving a nuclear weapon on a ship in Boston. My boyfriend was busy doing laundry, walking back and forth, carrying a clothes hamper. Every so often hed glance at the television and walk by. After perhaps 3 trips he looked at the television, looked at me, and then asked “What the hell is going on?!”. It was that realistic. I’m not 100% sure of the title, but it was very frightening as well.

[@chipthomas4169]

If I'm correct, the setting wasn't Boston, it was the then-still-in-use naval base at Charleston. SC. That base was later decommissioned during the Peace Savings base closures in the 1990's or early 2000's.

[@Evan_Bell]

A lot of things to disagree with here. 1Mt is overkill for pentagon. Thermonuclear weapons achieve temperatures in excess of 180 million F. 9mi diameter for ignition is generous. US cities don't have the fuel loading to lead to a firestorm. Nuclear winter has lost a great deal of credibility. The same guy who postulated said that same would happen with the Kuwaiti oil fires. It didn't. No Russian weapon today is capable of producing a fireball a mile in diameter. Most would be less than a quarter of a mile. The ozone would be fine. The mode average strategic weapon yield is 0.1Mt. Many are higher, even into the megaton range, but let's generously assume an average of 0.5Mt. A generous but reasonable estimate of the number of weapons used in a global exchange is around 5000. So that's 2500Mt. Each Mt produces around 4900 tons of nitric oxide from chemical reactions of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen in the fireball, so we'd expect 12.25 million tons of NO. One mole of NO can react with one mole of Ozone to produce nitrogen dioxide and diatomic oxygen. The molar masses of NO and O3 are 30 and 48 g respectively. Thus about 19.6 million tons of ozone would be destroyed. There is about 3 billion tons of ozone in the atmosphere, so only about 0.65% of it would be destroyed. UV intensity on the ground wouldn't be affected in any meaningful way. The K-T event is no comparison to nuclear war. One is over 5 orders of magnitude more energetic, and releases an equally greater mass of atmospheric particulates.

[@stevestruthers6180]

One reason why the US doesn't have the fuel loading you refer to is that most typical wood-frame and brick (or siding-clad) houses are located in distant suburbs where they would be well away from ground zero and the limit of the severe destruction and fire radius. American cities are also quite spread out, which adds a further measure of protection. Radioactive fallout may not even be all that much of an issue in many places, because city-busting nukes will be detonated high in the sky to maximize destruction, but airbursts such as these produce little or no fallout. If you live near a military base, or anyplace where hardened government bunkers exist, groundbursts will be employed to destroy these facilities, and then fallout becomes a major hazard.

[@Evan_Bell]

@@stevestruthers6180 Yep, though civilian airports will also likely be hit with ground bursts, and these are often on the peripheries of large population centres.

[@stevestruthers6180]

@@Evan_Bell Yes, absolutely correct. However, in the city where I live, there is a General Dynamics plant that sits about two miles west of the airport, which lies about seven miles away from the west end of town, which is where I live. The plant currently manufactures wheeled light armoured vehicles (think something along the lines of the LAV-25). I suspect the plant is capable of being converted to producing tanks or major subsystems for same. Just one nuke landing on the airport would put the plant within the 5psi or moderate damage blast zone. So we'd probably get hit with one or two groundbursts. According to Nukemap, if an 800kT nuke was detonated at ground level at the airport, the apartment building where I live would sit just a few hundred metres outside the 1psi blast radius. Up the yield to one megaton, and I'd be sitting just inside the outer edge of the radius. But I'd still be well away from any thermal effects and fallout would land well east of the city. In short, my city would be rendered more or less non-functional. In a full-on countervalue strike using airbursts, it would cease to exist.

[@Evan_Bell]

@@stevestruthers6180 I find myself in a very similar situation. I live in the UK, about 7 miles from an international airport that handles a significant proportion of the country's air freight. I also live about 2 miles away from a major national military industrial plant. In my own conjectured Russian attack plan against NATO, I have the plant hit with a 200kt Kh-55 airburst and the airport hit with a 1Mt R-29 ground burst. The former demolishes my house and place of work, and the latter may or may not dump fallout on both.

People overestimate the damage caused by EMP. Most electrical equipment nowadays is shielded. The current generated by EMP is proportional to the length of the wire exposed to the pulse. So phone lines, power lines, etc. Those are going to produce large currents. Back in the 1800's during the Carrington event there were barely any safeguards breakers, fuses, etc, so telegraph stations caught fire. We've come a long way since then. Heck we had a major geomagnetic storm around a month ago and hardly anyone noticed. Years ago that would have fried a lot of things. But length of wire is important more than anything. So the wiring in your car (which also conveniently acts as a Faraday cage) is not really long enough, neither is the wiring in your computer or phone. Sure, if you have them plugged in and safeguards don't take care of the power spike then yeah, bad news. But otherwise they would be fine.

Pro tip for anyone with a diesel generator. Construction equipment and vehicles have a couple gallons at minimum sitting in the tank at all times. They're never fully empty. Siphon accordingly.

I am one of the few who can say that I saw a nuclear bomb detonate. I will never forget it. Afterwards the airs were strangely silent. It was so extrodinary that it seemed the world stopped for a moment. That occasion was one of the last above ground blasts at the Nevada range. The year? Can't remember, pretty sure it was in 1954. It was a predawn event. I was about 70 miles away. It was announced in advance. Many hundreds of we citizens were up and outside with out movie cameras that morning.
