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!

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.
I'm sorry to all the civilians in Japan who went through this, but it seems like there were no analogues without fewer casualties, right?
@@bealet9357 Japan was already at their limit and about to surrender before the nukes were dropped anyway
@@mootssss Politics, everything to the end, meant that they would fight to the end, they were close to surrender, but most likely it would be followed by a month or more of war and there were over 200 thousand casualties, and the communists had to be shown that yes..
『はだしのゲン』見たけど本当に言葉が出ない。まるでゾンビだ
@@mootssss Incorrect, the leaders of the Japanese Military literally staged a coup to keep the war going Hiroshima. They were not even convinced it was nuclear and were going to fight till every last man. It was their written policy and doctrine. It wasn't until Nagasaki that the Emperor had to step in and agree to a total surrender. Every single documentation, account, and historian alligns with the fact that Japan was not going to surrender even after they had already been nuked once.
Id like to take a moment to thank Stanislov Petrov, the soviet lieutenant who refused to launch nukes during the cold war when ordered to do so
yeah there was a warning that the us was sending nukes towards them but petrov thought it was just a miscommunication/error and left it alone when he was ordered to also fire nukes.
holy, that man saved everyone
Crazy to think about . Didn't they change guidelines because of it ?
@@connieleblanc6212 my understanding is now all the people that dont need to know what action they are carrying out are blocked out by design. that includes the operators, the people at the lower chain of commands, they just press buttons on a schedule or occasionally do surprise drills which they would have no way of knowing that the specific button sequence they put in just launched a nuke, a light at some dude's desk or did nothing at all.

No, actually. Depending on the ambient conditions - mainly how clear and/or bright it is outside when the attack happens - flash blindness can affect people up to about 85 km away.

"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.
I have a doubt.
Chernobyl is now a wasteland which will not be inhabitable for over 4400 years. Why then are Hiroshima and Nagasaki not wastelands?
That's an interesting question.
The general theory is that because the bomb exploded high in the air, more nuclear contaminants were dispersed into the atmosphere. Another cause is water being washed away by rain or the ground being filled in.
On the other hand, the soil at Chernobyl and Fukushima contains a lot of nuclear contaminants. That's because they exploded on the ground.
@@user-nb2mw1py1j Apparently it was done to "maximise damage". It seems it only took a temporary toll
I pray that no one has to witness nuclear bombings again, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
@@PianistifiedForYT it also has to do with the amount of nuclear material present in a bomb vs in a nuclear power plant
@@PianistifiedForYT Little Boy contained 64 kg of uranium, Fat Man only 6.4 kg of plutonium, and due to being air bursts the radioactive fallout was extremely fine dust carried to high altitude and dispersed. Chernobyl vomited several *tonnes* of radioactive material into the environment, and a large amount of it was in the form of larger particles and fragments that were deposited onto the immediate surroundings.

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.
Good grief, this is wrong on so many levels. Your grandfather escaped a fire bombing. Hiroshima wasn't even in the top 20 most destroyed Japanese cities. How could that have happened with "the most destructive bomb in history"?? Because it was a propagandized fake.

I'm Japanese and a grandchild of atomic bomb victims. In Japan, all children learn about the real damage of nuclear weapons, but nowadays, atomic bomb victims are over 80 years old. So we are hard to know real voice of victim...
I think this video can tell us the threat of nuclear weapons clearly. Thank you for making this video.
I strongly want everyone in this world to know that nuclear weapons are not " just large bombs", they mean " literally the end of the world".
I hope Nagasaki becomes the last place where was attacked by nuclear weapons.
In pretty much all atomic bomb videos, I see people who say the Japanese deserved it. My retort is that there’s a difference between individuals (eg Japanese civilians, military personnel, government officials etc) and a collective (eg the Japanese people, the nation of Japan etc).
Most Japanese civilians either just minded their own business or at most supported the war efforts within their own country like civilians in other countries that engaged in the war did during a time when information was not as freely accessible as in uncensored areas today. Mostly only some government officials and military personnel decided on and carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor and other atrocities during WW2.
Since the majority of the blame should be on some of the government officials and military personnel, it would generally be unfair to say the Japanese civilians or civilians of any country deserved being nuclear bombed or have other atrocities committed against them.
For the purpose of these types of discussions, it is overly simplistic and sometimes even hateful to just group the individuals into collectives like the Japanese, the Americans etc.
Correct. These statements you are talking about really only mean anything in a world where there is only collective agency. I don’t endorse a lot of my own nation’s foreign policy, so why ought I be culpable for their decisions?
The entrance to the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima clearly states the historical fact that the Japanese military invaded China and other countries. In other words, Japan is not unconcerned about its own crimes.
I am saddened by the fact that the world's worst weapon was dropped on the heads of the innocent people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, regardless of what Japan did in the Pacific War.
Correction: the bombings of Pearl Harbor was not a simple act of war, since the bombings occurred mainly on weekends, the armed personnel were considered civilians as well. Hope this clears up any confusion about the Japanese civilians didn’t deserve this.
Except unless action was taken against the actual people, the government wasn’t going to stop, and there wasn’t any single government facility nuke site that would’ve convinced the Japanese to end the war, it’s of course heartless, but it saved thousands of American soldiers from going into a deadly ground war on enemy turf
The problem is, most of japanese military and gonverment personel died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And civilians were just another cost.

My grandmother saw the light of the atomic bomb in Okayama, next to Hiroshima.
It took two hours by car from the hypocenter in Hiroshima to my grandma's house, which is about 135Km if you search on Google map.
For me, I had never really felt how powerful it was, even though I had heard and seen it in classes and anime.
It is very frightening to hear my grandma's story and to think that today's nuclear bombs may be more powerful than they were back then.
They are more powerful. Hiroshima's bomb power was 15 kilotons, an average US warhead nowadays is about 200 kilotons.
nope better try megatons and they are mutable warheads not single.@@arnold3768

Imagine you left that city with your family, days later, you turn on the TV and realize how *fucking insane* your luck was.
The problem here, is the threat of mutually assured destruction is enough to stave off some who would otherwise be more inclined to drop them in the first place.
This is why simply saying "Nukes are bad, destroy all of them..." doesn't work. If everyone agreed to do it, but then some of the more notorious leaders didn't, but everyone else did, there's no threat to prevent them from using them.
Removing your strongest weapons from the table without being able to ensure everyone else actually does it to won't help anyone, it will lead only to destruction of those who follow it.
I think it's actually impossible to get rid of all nukes. people don't trust each other at all to not have them.
That's always been the issue among nations. Until nations put ink to paper for treaties and alliances, iron clad agreements of non-aggression, and work to maintain amicable relations, the threat of war is always there. It may be low in modern times, but it's a non-zero number. And given how tensions all across the world are rising, externally and internally, the idea of demilitarizing and denuclearizing is as unappealing as ever. We're on the cusp of a potential WWIII, everyone can see it. All it takes is that first spark.
As the saying goes, it's better to have a weapon and not use it, than to need a weapon and not have it. And unfortunately, this is our best method of preventing WWIII.
@@vallahdsacretor4839 "iron clad agreements of non-aggression" - Unfortunately, this is never going to be possible. Even if you 'had' a treaty that forbade any kind of aggression on a global scale, it doesn't actually 'prevent' those things from taking place.
Russia/Ukraine is a classic example. Russia has breached numerous geneva conventions, including attacking civilian medical facilties. But how do you enforce that, beyond through military force?
@@Grigeral You furthered your original point but likely not in the way you thought. The Ukrainians agreed to relinquish the Soviet-era warheads left on their soil after the USSR fell with the understanding that they would not face Russian aggression or have any chance of becoming a NATO signatory (to avoid encircling / threatening Russian territory).
The West in the years since then actively screwed them over by continuing to make overtures and flirt with the idea of bringing them into the EU and/or NATO, and even had a hand in the 2014 coup that installed heavily anti-Russo politicians into power. While that doesn't excuse the invasion, it does show that giving up a potential nuclear deterrent paired with the manner of world policing statecraft that has become notorious over decades is a recipe for a nation caught in the middle to be at greater risk of attack.
@@The_Lucent_Archangel it was more a hypothetical argument I was making on how you enforce something when you have nothing to back it up.
What you're raising is a whole other argument. My stance on that, would be that Ukraine is not a part of Russia. As such, Russia have zero say over who Ukraine have dealings with, be it NATO or otherwise, whether they like it or not.
It might justify the war in the eyes of Russian officials, but that's pretty much it. They have no control over them, so have don't have rights like they seem to believe.

In fact, Oppenheimer already did it.
There was a TV movie about the explosion of a small nuke in Charleston SC. The mention in this video of the blizzard of sharp glass was seen later in the show, when a newswoman kneels down to pick glass out of the back of a coworker.

I see what you did there :)
Don't forget that the radiation in the area is there for years. This means people in the area, even those that didn't experience the explosion(ex. doctors, volunteers sent for rescue) are poisoned by radiation causing medical conditions like hair loss leading to deaths ranging from the first 3days from exposure to radiation to 30yers later being diagnosed with laukemia. The effects are long lasting and terrible.
In Hiroshima, they did restore the railway and get in some supplies and help in 48 hours. But that is also because, there was some practice in responding to firebombing of cities. The problem is, if you survived the blast you need to get as far away as possible, as soon as possible. The radiation damage is cumulative.
The bomb described here is a 100x more powerful than the ones dropped on Hiroshima.

That's the scariest part for me. I'd rather evaporate in milliseconds than suffer next few hours.

This is nothing but fear propaganda nonsense. Nukes are fake af. If they were real, Nagasaki and Heroshima would be uninhabitable for 10,000 years.... THINK for yourself ffs.
Or days or weeks or months ugh this made me so sad
Same. I'd consider myself luckiest in such a setting, when i'm caught in ground zero, as even being hundreds of kilometers away, free from whatever shit such an explosion would bring, there's still the fallout, radioactively, socially & politically, to deal with for years, if not decades, to come. Just about the entire world would be turned into a shithole within years, with the constant threat of yet another such explosion happening anywhere, anytime.
Who else is here after watching Oppenheimer?

I was thinking of him too. He wanted to use nukes in Korea after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
However, he had nothing to do with bombing Japan. He was kept out of the loop because Roosevelt thought he had a big mouth and it wouldn't have been long before he told the press "Guess what we have!"

Yeah kurzgesagt is good at that lol
Look on the bright side, if it ever does happen and you're close enough to the blast zone it'll be the quickest death you could ever possibly hope for. I don't think you'd even have time to register the pain before you vaporise, let alone have the time to scream.
Let's consider a scenario. Considering that the thermonuclear bomb is anywhere between a 500 kiloton and 1 megaton warhead, the initial fireball that happens within the first milliseconds as described, will literally atomize anything (people, buildings, cars, animals, roads) within that 1 to 2 mile radius. All gone, no trace left. That's just with the initial 'flash' fireball the video describes. People, anywhere from 2 miles to 7 miles out spontaneously combust due to the intense radiation heat from the initial blast. Keep in mind this all happens within the first SECOND. Within that 2-7 mile radius, if by some chance you are protected from the intense radiated heat that sets you on fire, you will probably be killed by the initial shockwave, traveling at 300 mph, destroying EVERYTHING, from about 2-5 miles, with the damage lessening (if you want to call it that) up to ten miles out. However, the intense heat literally liquifies the asphalt roads. So, if you are stuck in your car, your car would melt INTO the road. Again, this is all in the first 5 seconds. IF you happened to also survive the initial shock wave, what happens next, you won't survive. As the video mentioned, the mushroom cloud forms after 2-5 seconds after detonation. That's the shockwave being sucked BACK toward ground zero, at 300mph, picking up people, cars, debris, or whatever else is in its path and sucking it back into the mushroom cloud. You would not survive to even contemplate what to do afterward to avoid fall out that's about to rain down on you from above, around 10-15 minutes after the initial explosion. Fallout so deadly, that, if by some miracle you survived up to that point in time, you would have minutes to live before succumbing to the intense radiation exposure.
But here's the real reason why, if you survived the initial blast and shockwave, that you won't make it to 15 minutes: the raging inferno that will engulf that entire 10-mile radius and continue to spread miles more out. To put it simply, if you are within a 10-15-mile radius of a thermonuclear bomb blast going off, you are a dead man. There is no escape, no matter what any video tells you. If you don't die in the initial instant blast or get obliterated by the shockwave (forward or back), you will burn to death in the ensuing raging inferno, a fire so hot, it literally creates its own weather phenomenon (fire tornadoes and hurricane like winds).
You think being underground will help you? I think not. The heat from the blast and insuing inferno is SO DAMN hot, that anyone in that 10-15-mile range, who happens to be underground in the subway, sewer, or perhaps even an underground fallout shelter, will literally be cooked alive, as if they were in a broiler oven, IF they don't asphyxiate to death first.
Watching this video is learning that the drills we do in school for this wouldn’t do shit
They probably thought “better than saying, you’ll be vaporized” 😂
the "hide under your desks sentiment was more to protect against falling rubble
After the "Beirut Explosion" don’t give 2020 any ideas
Want to know what's terrifying? The Beirut Incident was only about ~20% the scale and power of the bomb dropped in Hiroshima.
Just 1/5th. Watch the video again and remember the first ever nuclear bomb used against a city was 5 times bigger.
That explosion only killed around 100 people and had no nuclear fallout. i mean theres videos from like a few blocks away of people surviving with no injuries. its still horrible but absolutely nothing compared to what our nuclear warheads are capable of today. If russia dropped the tsar bomba in times square new york, it would instantly evaporate the whole island of Manhattan along with around 2 million people in around 1 second. with around another 1 million dieing within a few days from surrounding regions. now thats just one, consider the fact the russia has atleast 1,600 active nuclear weapons that they can fire pretty much all together at once, and thats enough to totally annihilate atleast a quarter of the entire U.S at once. now consider that the U.S also has around the same amount and can do just as much damage back to russia. hundreds of millions will die within a single day.
@@TheMaster5059 90km away we had broken windows so yes for a small country like lebanon is big explosion
People who are spreading conspiracies about the Beirut explosion being a nuke are seriously underestimating the danger nuclear weapons pose.
And somehow now it makes sense why we aren't forcing nations to disarm, most people are just so ignorant of the sheer existential horror nukes pose.
I'm hoping more people like you are navigating here and realise just how destructive human can be.
Jason Borshchik
The death number has risen to 200 tho
There are a number of variables not discussed here. The yield of the nuke is the biggest one and how many tall buildings, and how tall, are in the blast area is another big variable.
The most frightening point of this video is the fact that "all the cruel phenomena described in this video actually took place on two separate occasions in the past."
All we can do is to prevent it from happening again in the future, forever.
“What if we detonate a nuke in a city?”
-*America looks at Japan*

Japan reported it as fire bombing. I don't think we set off a nuke in Japan. It's been proven that the nukes aren't why Japan surrendered from the war, as we're led to believe.

Thank you! I am currently doing research for a novella I'm writing that takes place after a devastating nuclear war, but with a heavy focus on realism, no cut corners. I won't nuke anything, but I won't BS my way through it either.
This is not well known in foreign countries, but the number of victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki continues to increase year by year, and that has exceeded 520,000 so far.
This is because deaths from diseases due to exposure are also counted.

... for a small surface on Earth. If the scale is Earth sized everything is microscopic
I mean, you do realize that no matter what damage we cause to the earth it will never be enough to actually permanently damage the earth itself. Even a nuclear bomb is nothing compared to mother nature. Yeah we get to see the effects that are caused, and yes we can see the damage, but when we are all dead and the earth is still rotating, it will heal itself. You just won't see it. The way he said this statement is confusing, but only if you don't understand how the Earth's ecosystem works.
@@LeviathanTechWiz very well said
@Oscar Burner I know right, I mean don't get me wrong I know that even though nuclear weapons are the "most destructive force on Earth" it's really only temporary. Humans always seem to find a way to make things "bigger" or "better" or even make new technologies but in actuality they just digging their graves even further down. I mean don't get me wrong having technologies that will keep our enemies at bay is nice, but when you notice that is just a veiled threat of safety due to "mutually assured destruction" but really millions will die just by one bomb being launched. Cascade effect. I know I am going on a tyrade, but if we could just focus our scientific knowledge on improving how to better our lives, not destroy them, then I'll be very happy.
