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!

@@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.

"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.
@@ユーキ-q4s 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.

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.
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.
Yeah, with ICBMs and SLBMs, things are even more scary, range is irrelevent as they can hit you 8,000-km away, and each carries 4 - 12 bombs with yeilds from 50 - 475-kt or higher, meaning each ICBM or SLBM can destroy multiple city sized targets each, and hundreds of them can be launched at a time.

Amazing. Best post
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.
"The lucky ones are at ground zero" was a common phrase during the cold war as the US and USSR rattled nuclear sabers at one another.
Yup. I've been saying this for 35 years.

Death is inevitable. Why not record it for future generations?
Yeah lol I would hide behind a concrete wall or anything sturdy
Tis was genuinely terrifying despite the animated style
Yeah, really sends a shock up your spine when the realization hits that this could actually happen, and how likely you are to find yourself within these circles. The idea of being scorched by the thermal pulse is especially nightmarish to me, considering how the victims of Nagasaki/Hiroshima had their skin and clothes fuse together and then peel off, leaving their flesh directly exposed to the environment as they walked around in agony with death guaranteed and only minutes to an hour away.
@@canidaeSynapse true. However the modern nuclear weapons gets stronger daily and the Nagasaki ones are almost nothing compared to the ones today
Inspite*
@@dhoxin A thermal pulse is still a thermal pulse, the only thing that changes with the power is what the range is.
At first I was enjoying it then in the middle of the video I just thought : "What if a bomb exploded right now near me" quite scary.
After seeing Oppenheimer I can truely understand why he was so devastated
Kurzgesagt: The forces of man are laughable compared to the forces of nature.
Also Kurzgesagt: A nuclear bomb is every natural disaster combined
XDDDD
... 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.
You know Kurzgesagt is being super serious when there's no sapient ducks.

“What if we nuke a city”
Japan: If?
This is worse. The little boy and fat man were sloppy and were literally just
“We have big bomb we want test it”
Gray Lindblad I mean not really. More like we don’t want to invade mainland Japan.
Rubixia I mean it is really. Then what is the point of using two different type of bombs? It is nothing but testing and showing how “strong” you are. Just use the same bomb you tested if it is not testing.
Japan: First time?
Murasaki Budou Japan always fought till the end no matter what they do. That’s why you don’t want to invade main land Japan it was a test and yes it was to show how strong they are but the war would just go on if we didn’t do that.

No, it's not weird. 4 years is the length of HS. That is a long time for you. Now, at 43, 3-4 years feels like 1 used to. Seriously.

You need not ever feel weird or defective or whatever over your own feelings. NEVER.
Narrator: The city is blown up and turned to ash, now lets talk about what happens next.
Me: *THERE'S A N E X T??*
Emz The next is arguably the worse part when it comes to nukes.
You'll be injured, likely severely, if you survived at all. There's no help coming, not for days or maybe even weeks. It's just a matter of what claims you first, at that point: your wounds, or the radiation.
Honestly, if a nuclear weapon hits a city you live in or near, you'd have been better off just dying in an instant inside the fireball. At least that will be so quick your brain won't even know it's coming. I'd say it's better than suffering and dying years later from the after effects.
@@edgardo5049 especially in a case of nuclear total war, actuall blast kills relatively few people, more people die from radiation overtime, but most people are likely to dies from hunger and lack of basic medical care and drugs. In the worst case scenario nuclear winter will decimate even the regions that were not involved in nuclear war, not likely but there is a possibility this will lead to snowball earth, when entire earth is covered in thick layer of ice and snow 😉

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

@@cheesecake667 Both would survive, but the government, infrastructure and populations would be beyond repair.
Tens to hundreds of millions will die on both sides, even in the best case scenario, it's a pyrrhic victory.
there's a book called "a song for Nagasaki" which near the end gives an account of a person living there when the bomb went off. It's so easy to just think "people were vapourized" and forget there is a destruction gradient. Some burnt people became instantly dehydrated, feeling an inmense thirst, asking for water while their skin was burnt off. Their skin peeled off, and their hands looked like they had gloves torn off them.
Not pretty. It's still an amazing story about acceptance and forgiveness.
Im making a book called "a song for Detroit". About how nuclear devastation is a blessing compared to goblins.

Go check Mutually Assured Destruction. Any country that uses nuclear weapon risks being nuked itself.
So while its true that if ISIS or someone thats just completely suicidal gets their hands on nuke would be bad, nukes are also what is stopping many wars from happening.
US is never going to attack Russia with nukes because it would mean they are both going to get destroyed.
Also people that are just batshit crazy aren't going to care about any agreement, they will build their own nuke if they want and then be the only ones with the nuke.
