What Happens if a Nuke Hits Near You?
Doomsday is here. A nuclear bomb has just unleashed hell right in front of your eyes. You have mere seconds to get to safety. But once that blast hits, how could the light burn your skin? Why should you never look at the explosion? And how can taking your clothes off save your life?https://underknown.com/contact/ [email protected] http://bit.ly/ytc-the-what-if-100-book https://bit.ly/how-to-survive-show https://bit.ly/aperture-show https://bit.ly/crazy-creatures-show https://bit.ly/your-body-on-show https://bit.ly/origins-of-food https://bit.ly/versus-show https://bit.ly/wtf-did-i-just-watch http://bit.ly/YT-what-if-Earth http://bit.ly/YT-what-if-Cosmos http://bit.ly/YT-what-if-Technology http://bit.ly/YT-what-if-Body http://bit.ly/YT-what-if-Humanity http://bit.ly/whatifstore http://bit.ly/suggest-whatif http://bit.ly/whatif-newsletter http://bit.ly/whatif-instagram https://discord.gg/Bj5UnspbwE http://bit.ly/whatif-twitter http://bit.ly/facebook-whatif http://bit.ly/YT-Spanish-what-if http://bit.ly/YT-Chinese-what-if http://bit.ly/yt-what-if-show-podcast https://underknown.com https://underknown.com/contact/

0.319 -> doomsday is here a nuclear bomb has just
4.799 -> Unleashed hell right in front of your
7.2 -> eyes
8.04 -> the land turns to Ash and scatters in
11.28 -> the wind in just moments
13.32 -> you have mere seconds to get to safety
16.619 -> but once that blast hits how could the
20.279 -> light burn your skin
22.56 -> why should you never look at the
24.84 -> explosion
26.699 -> and how can taking off your clothes save
30.48 -> your life
32.399 -> this is what if and here's what would
35.28 -> happen if a nuke exploded near you
39.18 -> once that missile launches you can't
42.18 -> escape what's coming next but what are
45.18 -> you facing
46.379 -> well four types of energy are about to
49.32 -> be Unleashed first a blast wave would
52.62 -> rip through the landscape knocking you
54.84 -> around like a ragdoll and destroying
57.239 -> buildings after that brace yourself for
60.6 -> intense light followed by skin melting
63.66 -> heat and deadly radiation
66.18 -> then a hot bubble of gas will form a
69.78 -> fireball that will vaporize everything
72.24 -> inside it all that dust debris will
75.42 -> shoot up into the air creating the
77.76 -> iconic mushroom cloud
80.7 -> even if you somehow survived this
83.82 -> nightmare why would your life never be
86.82 -> the same again
89.1 -> so far only one nation has used a
92.4 -> nuclear bomb against its enemy the first
95.34 -> of the two bombs dropped on Japan by the
97.979 -> United States during World War II little
100.979 -> boy decimated Hiroshima it had the
105.119 -> strength of 15 kilotons of TNT
108.9 -> but that's nothing compared to what
111.42 -> nuclear weapons are packing today
114.24 -> the most powerful is 80 times stronger
117.6 -> than what hit Hiroshima
119.579 -> now while that would be devastating and
122.82 -> level everything for miles it wouldn't
126.659 -> make our planet a nuclear Wasteland
129.959 -> you on the other hand well you wouldn't
132.66 -> be so lucky if you happen to be in the
135.959 -> blast vicinity your days would be
138.18 -> numbered remember that intense bright
140.94 -> light
141.72 -> yeah well that flash is strong enough to
145.02 -> burn your skin off
146.94 -> these intense flash Burns can be fatal
150.36 -> and they killed 50 percent of the people
153.18 -> who died in Japan
154.98 -> and here's hoping you didn't stare
157.319 -> directly into that blast because this
160.2 -> devastating light would over saturate
163.14 -> your retinal pigments and leave you
165.54 -> blind
166.86 -> flash blindness can go away after two
169.8 -> minutes if the explosion happens during
171.66 -> the day but at night you could be
175.019 -> blinded for much longer
177.06 -> and if you weren't sheltered you may not
180.42 -> survive what's coming next
183.54 -> in just a fraction of a second the
185.94 -> nuclear Fireball would expand out like a
188.819 -> balloon Rising into the sky
191.22 -> the heat from that fireball would send
193.8 -> out a blast wave that would rip you and
196.92 -> the ground under you apart
199.319 -> if you didn't make it indoors before the
201.9 -> blast the supersonic wave might kill you
205.2 -> by ripping off your skin or sending you
208.019 -> flying through the air
209.879 -> then a violent burst of thermal
212.819 -> radiation would be released and head
215.099 -> right toward you
216.659 -> and unfortunately for you it's only
219.959 -> going to get worse
222.18 -> next a second pulse would hit lasting a
225.659 -> few seconds this time this wave would
228.659 -> carry 99 of the total thermal radiation
232.26 -> from the nuke
233.7 -> you could be eight kilometers away and
236.519 -> still suffer first-degree burns from
238.739 -> this detonation and all that would
241.98 -> happen in a matter of moments
244.5 -> then the resulting mushroom cloud would
247.98 -> Tower above everything
250.319 -> so what would you do now
253.739 -> well even if you only suffered third
256.5 -> degree burns the pain would be enough to
259.199 -> send your body into instant shock
261.74 -> hospitals if there were any left in the
264.479 -> area would be so overrun with other
267.18 -> victims that you might not get treated
269.46 -> for hours
271.38 -> gamma and neutron radiation would cover
274.62 -> everything the first minute after the
276.84 -> blast if you somehow lived through that
280.139 -> blast wave and the fiery Heat this
283.02 -> radiation might kill you
285.12 -> as the dust settles the radioactive
288 -> particles would penetrate everything
290.3 -> making the blast site hazardous for
293.46 -> months if not years
295.74 -> radiation exposure could lead to brain
298.68 -> seizures and cancer it might even reduce
301.74 -> the lymphocyte cells in your blood that
304.68 -> would increase your risk for infections
307.44 -> to avoid that lethal Fallout you'd have
310.68 -> to run and hide
312.54 -> you'd have about 10 minutes before the
315.18 -> radiation hits so hustle and get to a
318.06 -> concrete or brick building to shelter
320.4 -> you for the next 24 hours
323.18 -> and you're gonna want to get naked
326.34 -> if you take off your radiated clothes
328.56 -> you could remove up to 90 percent of the
331.68 -> radioactive material clinging to you so
334.139 -> the Savior modesty for another time
337.62 -> now since you've stripped down wash
340.139 -> yourself with soap and water to get rid
342.24 -> of any remaining radioactive particles
345.06 -> now there probably wouldn't be any power
347.94 -> left but you'd have to keep the air
350.22 -> conditioning and the fans off if there
352.44 -> was otherwise contaminated air from the
355.62 -> outside could come in
358.44 -> now no matter how safe you are you can
361.68 -> never guarantee that nuclear
363.66 -> Annihilation is far away yeah after all
367.02 -> the United States and Russia owe 90 of
371.22 -> the world's nuclear weapons so what
374.039 -> would happen if Russia launched a nuke
377.58 -> well get to the shelter and keep
379.979 -> watching because that's a story
383.16 -> for another
384.84 -> what if
388.28 -> [Music]
