    In the 60s, my dad worked in the nuclear weapons industry, so my brother asked him what we should do in case of a nuclear war? And honest to God, from behind his newspaper, he said, "Hope you die first." I guess that applies to any worldwide catastrophe (Somebody's dad had to work in the weapons of mass destruction industry)

Same applies to a worldwide catastrophe, like of course these concepts could be fun in video games or some entertaining movies of course, but we cannot forget that reality is much, much harsher and devastating than anything we simply see on the screen.

    Depending how large and the composition of the asteroid would determine the effects of impact beyond the initial hit. For the Dinosaurs, most died from starvation after the impact, not the impact itself. While it was a massive extinction event, not all animals went extinct - not even all dinos (those are the birds we have today). Depending how much advanced notice we managed to get, we might be able mount a reasonable response (deflection?). The asteroid featured here is said to be the size of Rhode Island (36x47 miles), but the dino killer was "only" 6-8 miles in diameter. However, that large size actually works to our advantage - unless it comes in directly from the direction of the sun (sorta a blind spot), we should be able to see it coming years in advance. Hopefully, we'll never have to test that theory.

      It's large size only helps in detection .. not deflection. There is absolutely nothing you could do using present or future tech to deflect something that massive (36x47x36 miles with say a cigar shape and density at least equal to a silicate asteroid), even if you knew well in advance of a possible impact. I think an ant colony has a better chance of forcing a course correction on a D9 Cat 'dozer than humans do for any fast object that is measured in miles

    This video mentioned something most sources overlook at that's thermal effects of the impactor before it hits the ground. Anyone in the line of sight of the impactor traveling through the atmosphere would be incinerated by the intense light and heat radiation given off by the rammed air plasma in front of the impactor. The ejected material would also radiate so hard.
    Literally, fires would start before the thing even hits the ground.

    A couple of thoughs - overall a very good, comprehensive video.
    One - a few hours after the meteor impact on that size, the outside would likely be hot like a steam room. Not just toxic smelling air, but 100-120 degrees, maybe more. Falling molten rock and heat from impact - it would be HOT.
    A family with that kind of preparation including 6 months of food would probably have some kind of masks for breathing, unless they were impossible to buy due to high demand.
    And - a ham radio and mini transmission station - OK, that's harder, but that's an essential bit of equipment. Can you imagine being inside with your family in a small space for months? Making contact, even if that contact is hundreds or thousands of miles away would be so important to keep from going crazy. So important for moral for the kids.
    An impact of that size would be hard to survive even with max prep. But impacts almost THAT BIG, are extremely rare. The last one was 66 million years ago.
    Also, there is still easy gas and oil available, smaller pumps. Not enough to supply 8 billion people, but enough to help a much smaller population of survivors.

      Depending on the size of the asteroid...most underground bunkers will most likely collapse.

      He'll be facing/ fighting his past, decisions and inner demons & would paradoxically show so much. Namely, better to have died in instant . really think part 2 will have a spiritual/ psychological implications on why are we ? / Meaning of life stuff.. .
      For me , the way I might imagine part 2, in one or few words: futility. Pain. Sorrow. Remorse. Meeting maker kind of thing in a deep significant way.
      Like The sharpness of his actions (killing the naighbour for instance . Leaving his Naighbours wife to just die & go fend for herself & die , after seeing her husband killed. another example ) just too grim to bare.
      If rather have given space to them. Better to have clean conscience.
      I'm not saying that the naighbour or wife were good people. We don't know. But makes u think . I mean .. gosh.. can't explain it all in 1 go.
      We are all going to inadvertently die anyway. Might and better live your life in giving / love .
      Than the soul death without.
      Oh gosh . I got dark. But I can't see how else it could end from being presented with the facts (how he , the video maker op left it) ! Gosh ! Is all I can say.
      Really felt for that Naighbours wife.
      But there's more. Would an asteroid impact like that just expose us all as selfish, interested only in out own survival ? & What's the point in having children !? If that is the existence/works you leave them to ?!? Agh terrible but real thoughts.
      I hope not but it seems so. Even if we do survive, If our primary motive for living is to survive, to live (& at expense of others , and that's a whole other kettle of fish), then really , we are already dead men walking.

    Why is the title "The Last 60 Minutes...", when the audio starts with "10 minutes to impact"? Anyway, nice summary of the apocalypse. Recalls "Lucifer's Hammer" (1977). The upshot: Michael and his family are all doomed to die, but some few humans may survive until conditions clear. That's cheery. :) Seriously, that is pretty accurate, and even your description of Michael's family is pretty optimistic, assuming that things like air filters will continue to work for any reasonable amount of time, etc. But still they will all die, simply because the obstacles are too great to overcome. The neighbor who got shot was probably the lucky one.

    I grew up during the cold war, at school we had nuclear drills where we would "drop and cover" under our tiny desks, a futile exercise meant more to keep us feeling like we had some control rather than to actually save us . Even as a second grader I knew that. Sure, it might save some from falling debris, but not where I lived. I lived on a military base, and not just any base, Fort Sam Houston. Practically everyone in the Army got training at Fort Sam. And less than 30 miles away there was Camp Bullis to the North, Kelly and Lackland Air Force bases to the South West, and Randolph Air Force Base to the East. Yeah, five military bases that close and I lived dead center. So even when I was six I understood that if nuclear bombs were deployed I was a target, I would not survive. I knew with 100% certainty my being under my little desk would not keep me safe. And that was more comforting than anything. In the event of a large scale nuclear war, a large meteor impact, or any other extinction or near-extinction level event the best outcome in my opinion is to be terminated right away, not linger well into the event and suffer a long and agonizing death. It's not a world I want to experience. It's one of the reasons I've never moved far from Fort Sam, to stay on target and prepared in my own way.

      An interesting point of view. I suppose I share it, although I'd not been entirely serious about it until recently. But you'd be surprised how helpful that desk could be. It would make a bigger difference if outdoors, but that sort of thing can make a world of difference with a nuke. If you have any warning, and particularly if you knew which direction it was likely to hit, your top priority should be finding something in the terrain or otherwise to get between you and the effects of the bomb. People without cover get cooked at distances that are totally survivable for people who found a ditch or a small hill.
      That's my understanding, anyway. I don't want to pretend I actually know anything about this stuff.

Some were pretty chill and just drank some beers and waited, some went to the beach to listen to the waves one last time, some tried to get away from the cities.
      There was a guy who took his kids and hid them down inside a manhole and a neighbor closed them in and said he'd come back for them if nothing happened.
      One of the funnier ones was a guy who's wife just got in the night before on a late flight and when the alert went off he was freaking out and she was like "Just go back to bed. If it's real there's nothing we can do about it and if it's a false alarm we can just sleep in."😆

      @kalevipoeg6916 Рік тому

      Depressing? Nah. There are 8 billion people on this planet - most of them, if we're being brutally honest, really contribute nothing and take everything. A smattering of worthwhile individuals here and there, but by and large, most of the rest are just not really useful at all as lifeforms - they merely fool themselves into thinking they are, that their life matters, that there's a reason they're here, and so on. That sounds cruel and callous, I know. I get it. But reality is harsh and the reality is...most of us could be snuffed out tomorrow and frankly, life on earth would be better off without our kind - our species. Forests would regrow, endangered species would rebound, the oceans would once again be teeming with fish, and eventually out mountains of trash and plastic would be buried, compressed over eons into a thin layer in the geologic record. Life would go on. Life on earth would not MISS humanity.
      If anything, I think a global killer event like this would be GOOD for us. Yeah, that sounds crazy I know but think of it as a reset button. The survivors and their offspring would be born into a world without internet, television, radio, satellites, any of it. No department stores, no materialism, no theft and rampant greed - what would be left for the survivors would be what is pure in life - survival. Appreciating every breath, the views of nature around you, the warmth of the sun, and the comfort of your loved ones. We'd live in small clans, as before, tens of thousands of years ago - we may even revert to a caveman style of life - sitting around the fire and painting on rock walls with our hands. But within 10 or 20 generations, with all books and computers on earth burned to ash, the memory of that past civilization would be gone entirely. Those people born a thousand years from now would have no IDEA such a civilization ever existed except perhaps if they came across the crumbled ruins of some of our more robust buildings that are made of stone - most modern buildings are not, however, and would have become dust long before their time.
      By 100,000 years in the future, any descendants of the human species would have lost all knowledge of this civilization more than 90,000 years ago.
      The odds of rebuilding to our current level of technology would be smaller due to the fact that we've already used up most of the planet's non-renewable fossil-fuel resources - oil and gas would be much more limited than they were during OUR industrial revolution and after. Those are resources that require hundreds of millions of years of time to rebuild. We used a lot of it up in 150 years, in our greed.
      SO, 100,000 years post-hence, perhaps you'd have small communities - farmers mostly - having eventually moved on once again from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. We'd lack the same resource access that made our own industrialization possible and profitable so chances are, there wouldn't BE another revolution. Instead, thousands upon thousands of years of slowly rediscovering what was, what had happened - new religions being born and dying, new messianic figures being worshipped here and there for a couple thousand years at a time. To the people living in those time periods, their religion would seem as permanent as Christianity or Islam does to people living now - but they too would one day be forgotten to time.
      Population explosions would also be extremely difficult - because all life on earth in an event like this larger than a cat or raccoon would have been killed in the impact, which is exactly what happened to the dinosaurs' world. Nothing BIG lived on land anymore. No plants to eat for any that survived, anyway. So there'd be no goats, no cows, no horses, no sheep - none of the animals our society has relied on for so long as a source of meat and protein would be around anymore so that kind of farming would be completely extinct. Instead, we'd be left with vegetation and small animals - if we were lucky, maybe chickens survived (unlikely given they don't have habits that would put them in a sheltered place when the impact occurred, and their eggs wouldn't survive at the surface - the survivors would be burrowers and cave dwellers). That means we'd be left with rats and dogs and cats, basically, some small species of birds, the odd fish now and again though all large fish would have died out. Farming would be a LOT harder. No milk. No cheese. No steak. Many of our crop plants would be extinct. Bees, weakened by our own stupidity and pollution, would be likely gone - which means no pollinators - which means flowering plants would have a major crisis. Which rules out many fruits and other things and many species of trees. Earth would be a desolate wasteland for a long, long time - and in part because of the damage we've already done to ecosystems around the world - softening them up and weakening t hem before the final blow. That's what likely took out the dinosaurs - massive volcanism at the end of the Cretaceous on a scale humans have never seen was already putting a lot of stress on their populations - and then the big one came and dealt the death blow in the midst of that. It's often like that, a one-two punch, rather than one event alone. We're event one - the asteroid would be event 2, and the two disasters - human destruction of the environment and the impact - would magnify the damage done when combined.
      Ultimately, it'd be a blessing for the planet and for any of us surviving - perhaps we'd FINALLY learn to appreciate our planet and our place in nature rather than trying to rule over it. Yes, billions would die, but really...everyone dies anyway at some point - and for many it would be a merciful, instant death - and life on earth, eventually, would FLOURISH without our cities and roads and pollution and arrogance and stupidity and greed.
