Yeah not a lot of people realize this but nowadays a big enough EMP bomb can do more damage then a nuke. Because yes a nuke can destroy a city and poison an entire state or a small country. BUT An EMP can take out the entire electrical system of entire regions of the world and since we live in the digital era almost every single damn thing we own has electronics that would be fried from an EMP. And when you add in the fact that some nukes actually have EMP capabilities in them it makes it even worse. to put it simply big bomb can kill you instantly. Well an EMP would reduce all of your technology capability back to the Stone Age. Not even the iron age because a lot of forging shit also has technology nowadays. We would get mad max world without even any of the vehicles! Or at least vehicles being extremely rare.

I would say that the sun is a more common source. (but well engineered vital system account for them in some shape or form. The problem is with the not well engineered kind)
@@zsomborszarka2616yeah, because if we get nuked, it’s pretty likely there will be bigger issues than the EMP. Like sure, that’s bad, but compared to the whole, yk, russia having enough nukes to dispatch every city over 100k in the USA 17 times over, it doesn’t seem that bad.
Slight correction: many small electronics (including phones, but not cell towers) would be fine not due to shielding but because the circuit runs are too short/small for the EM pulse to act across to induce a large enough current to damage any of the components.
And since that looked like a Cummins engine under that cab, I’d say a local Cummins shop would get that and go “what did it get struck by lightning?” “Uuhhh kinda?”
To be perfectly honest, only weapon anyone has that can discharge an emp strong enough to do that is a nuke and at that point you have bigger concerns lol
@@SCEVOi think you're getting EMPs and EMP Generators confused. EMPs are just pulses of power that overload circits. Nukes can create a EMP as they go off, especially if they explode in the upper atmosphere (no ground to insulate it). The military does have weaponized EMPs like you said though, they're pretty nice since they are more directed so you can dial in a really strong pulse into a distinct area so it only hits your enemies. All that said every device has some level of shielding due to the way electricity works and important devices can get more as needed with its respective drawbacks. lastly you can make a personal emp generator out of a modified stun gun to really see in action how there are different strengths of EMPs
@@SCEVO nukes generate an EMP upon detonation, especially higher up in the atmosphere they are, there are military EMP weapons but I doubt anyone would use those on non military targets short of a terrorist attack, but most terrorist try to get as many kills with their attacks as possible, not really looking to disable shit like an ambulance or firetruck, be more effective to take out a sam site or disable some tanks or scramble our guiding systems for stuff like a Javelin or loiter munitions like drones than to take out emergency service vehicles
@@thelostpsychosis yeah they generate an EMP when they explode but the EMP is probably the last thing that's important if we talk about a nuke when the new kids everything going to be exploded The EMP ain't going to be that important
There's something to be said for the reliability, maintainability, and availability of mechanical controls over electronics. An EMP isn't a major concern, though.
Fenton's very nervous voice was perfect acting. Acting convincingly intimidated without tryharding, but still remaining comedic when the scene calls for it isn't that straightforward. Good acting! Jason's exasperation is also something I can't get enough of. Well done! (Yes, I know I'm not consistently using their first/last names.)
As someone who has a background in tech and is one heart attack away from a pacemaker, the scariest thing to me is an em pulse...not so much because of what the EMP can do...but because one goes off near me...and i dont get to hit the button.
Just read a medical paper the other day about a Saudi kid that had an implanted monitor due to an ongoing cardiac issue. While out playing with friends, he was struck by lightning. The paper included the "strip" of his cardiac monitor, which remained functioning despite exposure to the strong magnetic field and megavoltage, showed initial arrest, then v-fib for a few seconds, then he returned to normal sinus. His two friends did not survive.
It's such a real situation, and yet people have no clue how unbelievably devastating an EMP would really be to a modern American city. Also this that rant was amazing 👏
@@rexex345Not mechanical, trucks from the 90's will mostly be fine. Anything that is powered by just gas and batteries will be(mostly) fine. But, if your system needs a computer then you are dead in the water.

Not to mention there’s only two things that cause an EMP-unless the military contractors have a prototype weapon-a direct lightning strike and a nuclear bomb explosion. And if it’s the latter, it’s not going to be much your problem any more.
Incorrect. You left out coronal mass ejections (CME). There could be even more destructive. They could disable not only all the satellites but also a larger portion of the globe. We’ve had these before and they blew up telegraph lines and started fires. Now with EVERYTHING being electronic, a CME would be debilitating.
Doesn't need to be an EMP. As someone who works in IT in various respects, i would 100% prefer manual controls for anything used in emergencies. Or at the bare minimum have a physical backup that can be used when it inevitably dies or stops responding to touches. Cumputers are great but for simple tasks like that don't trust your life to them.
You don’t have to worry, the extremely short wire lengths in a pacemaker make them pretty resistant to an EMP. You’d basically have to be struck by lightning to disrupt one, and at that point you’d have bigger problems.
Agreed also far less prone to issues Something breaks on the manual Kenworth I run in os/ow work I can fix it on the side of the road and keep her going The touch screen dies the computer recognizes the touch screen is not working and so it shuts down everything else until the touch screen is fixed
@@corwin.macleod Ah, in that case it does seem like a weaker design. And if I know anything about software production chances are the software is proprietary and when the company that owns it vanishes the equipment will become unserviceable, a problem the US military has reportedly faced as well.
Unless you're gripping something that conducts electricity better then your skin, it would have to be a pretty powerful EMP. Unshielded electronics are what would be affected.

Agreed also far less prone to issues
Something breaks on the manual Kenworth I run in os/ow work I can fix it on the side of the road and keep her going
The touch screen dies the computer recognizes the touch screen is not working and so it shuts down everything else until the touch screen is fixed
@@coywolfproductions7056 if the touch screen dies can't you switch over to manual?
@@traveller23e so you think that would be the natural thing to do
The problem is the stupid bastards have removed all the manual controls
@@traveller23e There is no manual, that's the whole point.
@@corwin.macleod Ah, in that case it does seem like a weaker design.
And if I know anything about software production chances are the software is proprietary and when the company that owns it vanishes the equipment will become unserviceable, a problem the US military has reportedly faced as well.
decades of biting my tongue....so satisfying hearing the quiet part out loud
Damn! That is some sweet talking!
Damn I didn't even think about people with pacemakers dying from an EMP😅
Unless you're gripping something that conducts electricity better then your skin, it would have to be a pretty powerful EMP. Unshielded electronics are what would be affected.
Watch the movie The Core and you will learn a few things
Was expecting him to scream after all that 😂
I'm dieing! 😂 You guys are hilarious!!! 🤣
Thank you!!
Fenton needs to name his mustache 😅
Lol!🤣
I hope it hits right after I clock in. That way 20 years from now when the power comes back on I’ll still be on the clock.
Ah man I love you guys.. "So, So slide it over...".. Old dogs learning new tricks.. LOL
We appreciate your support!😁
I legitimately had to have this talk with my mother, just not with a fire pump system 😂
I have a feeling that most people with an elderly relative can relate to Jason's frustration...
That is one hell of a mustache. Well done sir.
It's fake, sadly lol
I think it gets bigger every video.
How many Chewbaccas has he shaved to get that?
@sparky2057 it doesn't lol go look back at his page, there are times he has a normal mustache
👏👏
@@FireDeptCoffee sorry to spill the beans, boss
This Fenton is doing better than many people when facing reality insights. 😂
I feel his reaction deep in my soul. Thank you for the catharsis of this
HIS MOUSTACHE IS FAAAKEE ?
I thought it was real all this time 😂😂
It'S sTiLl ReAl FoR mE, dAmNiT!
Or just tell him the coffee machine wont work anymore
Nah, that one is for the rest of the firefighters.
And a warning to start avoiding Natalie cuz she gets really savage if she goes without coffee.
@@justinyu5892 that's why I keep my ancient gasoline stove and percolator around.
That might just cause a heart attack, LOL
@@PioneerGirl08yup, this one; and the survivors would be staring down rising panic.
That’ll do it for me, lol
Hey um, I also would've mentioned the coffee machine would be affected since I know y'all just love your coffee.
I think if Jason said that we would have heard the Fenton Scream 😂
Why would you say such mean things?! No Coffee? Waaaaaaaa
no they have a old backup that works on a camping stove.
@@sirBrouwer Don't be crazy, no one knows how to make pot coffee anymore unless it's a french press.
@@Chrizesu i work in a supermarket most people still just buy filter coffee. as it is the easiest way to get a pot of coffee. on the camping its just the filter, coffee and water boiled on a stove.
I appreciate that his confidence turned to acceptance
Lol😂
ELECTRIC Magnetic Pulse instead of Electromagnetic Pulse was the funniest line in this entire skit! 😆
Ss-ssoo slide it over..?
Lmao 🤣
The face at "the engine" got me haha
🤣🤣
Jason is a editing and acting GOD!😂 SO GOOD!
Not to mention the 911 system and about every phone in modern use.
Yeah, but you forget that the MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL WILL BE LOST: *_The Coffee Machine._*
Noo😭
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Wow he finally cracked.
"S-so just slide it over?" He witnessed a wrathful god and PRAYED he could somehow salvage his mess 😭
I have to admit the training is a tad bit intense, but it's effective.
He got his point across!
Ned Flanders if he was a fire fighter 🔥
😅🤭
Jason reminds me of a drill Sargent 😂
Jason made a video of him in Angry Cop's (a drill sgt on RUclips) studio in the background
🤣🤣
That's just beautiful 😂
Awesome way to remind people about what matters, keep 'em coming!
in theory, the engine could recover but more delicate electronics may not
(but this joke is still very accurate and as me on the floor XD
Depends on how advanced thr engine is.
A lot of newer cars need all the electronic sensors to function
It depends on the car the older cars like the ones in the 19s they not gonna get affected as much from a emp
@@godsflame9996 are you trying to say cars of the 90's ??
@@mozxzi KNOW he didnt mean 2019s
My emergency systems are EMP protected... except well the fuckin engine isn't...
And I guess thats pretty important?
He just wanted to be prepared...
"collAPSIng!!!"
(epic delivery, on everything. worth the rewatch just for the facial expressions. seriously was flaying him with that voice yet 😃 showing the equip fails!)
