That's just deep. You can genuinely visualise what's happening just from listening just from the level of detail included. Well done! Definitely one of my favourite videos so far
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)
Despite that being a Cruel thing to say, I understand why he would say that entirely. There is nothing that would be fun about a nuclear war or the aftermath of it. 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.
@@anthonylocsei9716 in most situations yes, but there are some exceptions on which is more preferable, such as if you are trying to protect a child or someone you love but the only way out is by keeping the danger away by giving your life for theirs. I’d rather die than let someone harm someone I care about, just because of some meaningless conflict.
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
John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Depends, but whatever happens, we shall still try. How else are we going to survive? It might sound naive, but sometimes firgivenss might be the only chance. There is nothing to build uppon if we have no hope or trust. Nothing good.
Always pray your at ground zero for any event that leads to these outcomes. No matter what the movies or games want to betray there's nothing cool or thrilling trying to survive in a dying world. Just lots of pain and suffering.
Dis always make my brain comtim plate things so I give props to info man bruh. I think it’s time for a happy what if though cause we always blown or hitker pops up.
I remember when I was a kid I used to imagine being the last person alive, all the things I would do; drive the fastest car in the world, take all the money from all the banks, live in a different mansion every night. When you're a kid you don't realize all of that would be pointless since there is no one to impress. I also never considered why I was the last person alive and where the 7 billion corpses are. Earth would kind of smell foul. 50+ years later I am quite the opposite. If an asteroid or nuke is coming this way I hope it lands on my head.
"Human civilization is at the brink. You are facing a world in decline-a world of diminishing resources and growing population, a world of ever-increasing political and economic instability, a world where the basic resources of life will become endangered and more difficult to acquire. But who is paying attention to this?" A quote from _Preparing for the Great Waves of Change » Seeing What is Coming_ - by Marshall Vian Summers.
If you build a bunker, you absolutely need replacement supplies for the filtration systems and spare parts… water is definitely important but even supposing you had 100 gallons you’d still eventually run out… so dehydration and lack of food would eventually claim everyone.
so you store enough for you and the neighbours, and have a plan on how to grow food... an underground barn would make more sense than a gun for a doomsday bunker.
@@FerretKibble Bless your heart. Who pays for the size of a bunker that would take and who pays for the food storage for all the neighbors? What are the neighbors doing in the meantime? Nothing? Just counting on you to save their lives? Just the neighbors though? Why not food for the entire city or the whole country? That's hilarious.
@@arcticfox6808 Not really. I was rooting for the asteroid the whole time. But in realityland this video neglects to mention nuclear reactors and what effect the asteroid has on them and what effect they have on the planet once all 600 blow up and meltdown. Not to mention the 40+ years worth of spent fuel left out in the open goes up... Hint: Earth gets sterilised.
When they mention the lack of coal and oil: I remember an interesting theory that I read about over 20 years ago. What if an advanced civilization (or even civilizations) that existed before today's mankind had already used up all "super energy sources" (like "Element 115" and whatever else) and left us with the scraps like coal, oil, nuclear energy and so on? Far-fetched, granted, but nice to spend a thought or two on.
The Silurian hypothesis discusses this, they don't think it's likely another civilisation existed before ours but it's an interesting thought experiment.
Tbh I've honestly wondered if parts of history only appear barbaric because we don't understand the technology. Perhaps there was in fact a massive civilization that was far more advanced.
I've been a soldier for 12 years and I've seen some horrible things justified but having to harm a completely innocent person in any way it's something you never really get over this story was very well done because I was completely invested and I wish it would have been a complete story for the family
I think i'd take a quick death over a prolonged one by starvation, illness or whatever else an asteroid apocalypse would bring. I wouldnt be able to bear the sight of my family struggling to survive in that kind of world.
@@kittygiatanidon4980 To be fair the average American doesnt have a fallout/doomsday shelter so most of us would have no where to run to. And look what happened to the dinosaurs afterwards as well.
@@rayc.8555 yeah I watched it a few years ago. another good one is "when the wind blows". I might watch that movie one last time if I were showing it to someone... but that is hard (emotionally) to watch, even for me.
There have been times of greatness and times of terrible failures. One can easily find both in our history, and we have a true potential for greatness yet to be had.
It’s wild to consider a mountain range on the opposite side of the planet will largely be deposited elsewhere from an impact. It’s even more terrifying to think that eventually earth will again encounter a scenario like this. With or without people.
We've already developed the technology to move aside small space rocks. Give it a little more time and we'll develop even better technology to artificially prevent this event.
It's crazy how millions of people forget we are on a rock in the middle of something we can't even process, how little we are. Now that's scary if u think about it.
@@dankzgaming8613 yup with absolutely no control over the future of our existence. at the best we can prolong it for a limited time. it ends only one way and eventually, quite quickly on the cosmic scale, humans won’t even be an afterthought no matter how much our hubris wants to believe differently. enjoy the ride while it lasts!
@@ShermanMark1 WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU. IT IS A BIG DEAL, Human life is being taken for more power. thats horrible and sad and also not unexpected, its been going on since the beginning of time, and when Yeshua returns to judge the wicked. you will know, Yeshua is the Messiah, and by then I pray its not to late. many are called, few are chosen. Praise Yahweh always
I'll use my last few minutes to appreciate life for what it was, the people that care about me and others. and rest peacefully knowing this was our humble end
I think we can all agree your story based videos are really REALLY good. (The ones that follow a main character like Micheal while also providing u good information)
There is a program - in its infancy and likely inadequate - but if an asteroid is detected in time, it is possible to slihtly alter its course. But Humanity NEEDS to be established on multiple worlds.
If this were to happen I don't think my family and I will be trying to survive. We would hold each other close, telling one another how much we love each other and take our last breath of air together! I wouldn't want them to have to endure such an outcome!
That is very nice but I don't see how you could give up that easy if an asteroid was going to take out of I will try my best to survive I wouldn't hold my family's hands for my final breath I would be going the opposite direction of the asteroid trying to live out the rest of my days in some what peace
I don’t think I would prefer to survive this extinction level event. I believe me and my family will spend our last moments in gratitude and playing our favorite family game together!
A fun fact: the problem with asteroid impacts is not only how big they are, but also where they hit. The Chicxulub asteroid - known for having wiped out the Dinosaurs - fell onto an area that's rich in sulphur compounds, and that's what plunged the Earth into a decades-long dark age.
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.
Lots of spare parts for air filtration, a large enough underground area for farm land, growing mushrooms, grow rabbits and feed them food scraps from the farm for meat... ideally have ground water filtration system as well... If a shelter doesn't have all that, then they are f'ed up. Canned food only gets you so far after all and you need to plan for what comes afterward.
I'd just admit the fact that there is just no point in trying. I'd just spend the last few minutes looking up at the sky and the Earth, thinking about what we did, and heaving a huge sigh, of relief and pain
@@abductedprince doesn’t matter not a single soul would survive this unless they got off the planet, something the size of Rhode Island hitting the planet would be destroyed, going underground would be suicidal because that type of impact causes global earthquakes probably north of 9.5 on the Richter scale The rich will die along with the poor since there is no current technology that would get them off the planet buh bye humanity
@@abductedprince if this happens I’ll find me a nice relaxing place to have one last drink while listening to Ave Maria one last time before the end That’s how I want to go
Honestly, as horrible as it sounds, 'the easy way out' would've been the most humane choice. Considering what's left, those that died at impact were the lucky ones. Sparing your family only to watch them slowly succumb to starvation and/or sickness just seems cruel.
@@TP_GillzI’ll have to agree with you. But if I lose my kids to this I’ll live on the edge 24/7 doing things that are unspeakable with nothing to lose Just having a death wish. 🤷🏾♂️
@@TheGreyParse We’re programmed to stay alive as long as humanly possible. Our species has been reset back to the Stone Age numerous times in our history.
Wouldn't you need at least 2 or 3 years worth of food for an extinction level event? For a family of four, that would be like 10,000 MREs and 10,000 bottles of water. You would need one heck of a bomb shelter. Maybe you could dig a well and have a water filtration system of some sort, which would save space. You'd still need space for all that food, though. Then there's the matter of fuel, for heat, cooking, and electricity. It might make sense to leave the kids outside when the asteroid hits.
Be a little more optimistic. MREs provide everything you listed (heat, cooking, food, water purification) for the immediate use 1 mushroom and 1 potato cover all amino acids and food needs for the rest of time A decade worth of multivitamins can fit in a suitcase Water can't be bottled (no space) so a freshwater well is given That's it: either the water source lasts or you die. Not too bad odds
You forgot about medical supplies vitamin D supplements , toilet paper , human waste management & disposal !! It would take about 2 months before Mental Anguish & grasping the reality of the situation put you in a slow downward spiral to inevitable insanity!!
I think this is the best written story I've seen from y'all. The level information and the visualizing the dire scenario is on point on this. Well Done! 👏
What I'd like to see from this channel is an explanation of what happens to the human body when it prepares to run away from or fight back against a perceived threat. Basically a detailed explanation of the flight or fight response and what it does to the body.
I would suggest looking at anything having to do with the effects of adrenaline on the body. Pretty much everyone has experienced it, and some even become addicted to it. They don't call them adrenaline junkies for no reason.
@@THE-X-Force fight, flight, freeze, or faun. Faun is where the person will try to placate the aggressor by either agreeing or complimenting them or anything in order to get their wrath and attention off the fauner (or another, if applicable.

With Robert dead, Micheal and his teenaged son, Luke, confer. They at last decide that it would be both selfish and inhumane were they not to allow the recently widowed neighbor, along with her two daughters, to enter the shelter. Later, while Lily's sudden and mysterious demise saddened all, it did allow the group to stretch supplies enough to allow those remaining to survive an additional five days underground. At the end of those five days the “survivors” emerged and, to their considerable surprise, learned that a group of, currently rather red-faced, scientists had made a slight miscalculation.
this was such an inspiring video the fact that the universe knows Australia has it hard enough with it being upside-down, giant flying spiders, ect. it brings be such peace
As an Australian, I can confirm that it is a daily struggle to avoid falling into the sky, however I will say these spiders don't actually fly, they fall into the sky and sometimes they are heavy enough to fall back down and pick us off 1 by 1
The video forgot to show the part where Australians are continuing to party, and are only vaguely aware that something is up by the fact that the super bowl wasn't broadcast for some reason.
As depressed as I may sound, but if something like this is happening, I'd party all day with the time I have left with my friends and family and go out with the asteroid, the world right now is cruel enough, let alone imagining the one after the impact.
It's been long since i've seen a video i got so invested in. The serious tone in your voice throughout the entire video was amazing and pulled me in deep.
I think part 2 would be an Uber wake-up call & a real ending for the main character & his family. I'm afraid. So sad.. 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. Do you get me, like ?
Part two is the family figures out all their meager shelter did was prolong the inevitable. They too will die from starvation or no water. Remember, most the water has also been vaporized or contaminated at this point.
That's just deep. You can Genuinely Visualise What's Happening Just From Listening Just From The Level Of Detail Included. Well Done! Definitely One Of My Favourite Vdeos So Far!
Your stories are very informative, well researched, and entertaining. I'm looking forward to more, and maybe start exploring series/movie making, because the way you tell these stories are something else. Thanks guys, you have some serious talent
Great video. I do feel that the size of your impactor IS NOT reflected in the damage depicted. You described Chicxulub (estimated to be 6 miles), not a 48x37 mile rock. The damage would be exponentially worse. The moment it hit the atmosphere would likely take out a good portion of Europe. People standing "beneath" its entry trajectory would simply disappear. Back to carbon.
A projectile with a diameter of 42.5 miles with a middle of the road density of 2000 kg/m^3 traveling at 20 km/s and impacting crystalline rock at an angle of 45 degrees would release 6.7x10^25 Joules of energy. This is equivalent to 1.6x10^10 megatons of TNT. Chicxulub is estimated to have released something like 1.0x10^8 megatons of TNT. This is a big difference. At the location depicted in the video a earthquake measuring 11.4 would arrive 19.2 minutes after impact. Michael and his family WOULD NOT survive this.
He just checked the impact simulator. However je misinterpreted it. At 6000 km from the impact point the sismic wave is no longer 11.4 and will barely do damage. Also the average ejecta will be 8 inches thick, so I really doubt that this guy city will be that damaged by fire. Also note that his neighbour could have survived the impact by just staying outside the shelter inside the tunnel that lead to the surface…
At 6:13, the narrator says the asteroid is the size of Rhode Island. The Chicxulub strike was only a six-mile wide asteroid. No way anything survives this.
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.
Meteorites usually have multiple times the speed of a bullet. Unless it approaches in a very low angle, it will be seconds between first sight and touchdown.
I have never understood the need to keep the "president" and cabinet safe as if they can't be replaced. The ones that should be taken to a bunker are the medical and engineering professionals. These are the people you need after something like that, not some blundering politician.
Looks like a pretty plausible and distinctly possible mini documentary on that long talked about, long overdue urban redevelopment project on a planetary scale to me. Great video!
The compression of the atmosphere is intense enough to create plasma and produce xrays. An asteroid this large would punch a hole in the atmosphere creating a vacuum channel out into space. It would look like a column of molten debris as material shoots up the channel. The dust in the atmosphere would drop temperatures for a 100 years to the point where plants would die off.
I thought the episode was lacking in character development and back stories. For eg, I'm almost certain that Michael and Carol had been having an affair.
Phenomenal writing and great story telling. My only qualm is that an asteroid the size of Rhode Island would destroy everything on Earth, even underground. The asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs was only 6km wide. A 20km wide asteroid would destroy everything
If a 0.08% death rate virus provoked all this madness we see in the last three years, I can only imagine what the reaction would be with a 100% death rate.
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. If one the size of the one that took out the dinosaurs (7.5m wide) hit, the resulting underground shockwave will take out just about every small bunker in the world. A seriously reinforced bunker might stand a chance, but how common are those?
I'm not sure that's true, though it could take out all the ones on the continental plate where it hits. That said, I'm not 100% sure. That's an interesting point. @@ryant115
without governmental effort, family sized shelter will last maybe 3 months. You need non-fossil fuel, non-solar powered aquaponic, huge water reservoir, air filtration, shtload of crossbow bolts, air rifles and ammo, and few emergency gun powder based weapons
If you havent yet, play the game "Soma". Its a horror/existential horror game surrounding the crew of a deep sea excavation team that survives an extinction level impact while u der water. The story is about what happened to them afterwards....
I had a thought while watching this. As parts of shat used to be the Pyrenees Mountains come raining back down, much of it would land in the oceans, and that would create large tsunamis around the world causing more destruction. I still loved your video, from the POV of a family in a shelter instead of the dry science of "this happens, then that happens next, then this would happen next" that most videos of this topic show.
Very well made video! Keeps you entertained while at the same time being informative. The story of Michael and his family was kinda depressing lol. Makes me think they should have just refused to take shelter. Living in a post apocalyptic world is much worse than dying imo. Definitely one of your best videos. 😁
What gets me is how many near misses there have been in just the last 50 years of monitoring. We are lucky for each day. I just wish humans would band together to try and secure the future of humanity.
Firstly: Don't try to protect your kids from reality, or teach them false morality. Anyone, including neighbours, who try to break into your shelter or use your supplies, are a threat to you and must be dealt with.
Staying inside the shelter even with a broken filtration system would be preferable to going topside. Just open the doors. If you’ve got to breathe the air better to be hidden somewhat than completely exposed on the surface.
There was the original TV series"Twilight Zone" episode similar to this one, only it was a false alarm. But there were also nuclear war episodes too." The Shelter", "Time Enough at Last", " One More Pallbearer" and to a lesser extent "Third Rock from the Sun", "Elegy", "the Old Man in the Cave", and "Two".
Slightly depressing to think about, but definitely a fantastic video nonetheless! Love the variety of information and results. Thank you for continuing to make such premier content.
You should read some of the stories of the 2018 Hawaii false missile alert. So many interesting stories from people who were thinking they were facing death. 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."😆
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.
@@johnstrawb3521 global warming? are you still in the early 2000s or something? even the term climate change is not even popular anymore. If you want to 'support the current thing', at least be up to date with the current term.
Knowing what the shock wave would be like, why did Michael not prepare thick insulating blankets for his family to wrap themselves in to absorb the impact? Instead, they just waited for it sitting on the couch.
1 hour after impact : his phones rings...

@@Fragging4fun How much time do we have? What is its location?
@@ryanotte6737 thats an answer i cannot know just that we are in an intergalactic shooting range
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)
Despite that being a Cruel thing to say, I understand why he would say that entirely. There is nothing that would be fun about a nuclear war or the aftermath of it. 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.

@@anthonylocsei9716The dead don’t complain.
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.
Yeah...the omnivores like birds,man,pigs and ambush predators like Crocs,snakes,geckos, etc plus lots of insects...will remain after an apocalypse.

@@collinpratt5198 It's the nerds that made RUclips, and the web for you
I wondered how many comments I would have to scroll through to find the typical RUclips 'expert' who knows it all?. You were the 2nd comment!.😂
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

I remember when I was a kid I used to imagine being the last person alive, all the things I would do; drive the fastest car in the world, take all the money from all the banks, live in a different mansion every night. When you're a kid you don't realize all of that would be pointless since there is no one to impress. I also never considered why I was the last person alive and where the 7 billion corpses are. Earth would kind of smell foul.
50+ years later I am quite the opposite. If an asteroid or nuke is coming this way I hope it lands on my head.

Massive well done for doing nothing
If you build a bunker, you absolutely need replacement supplies for the filtration systems and spare parts… water is definitely important but even supposing you had 100 gallons you’d still eventually run out… so dehydration and lack of food would eventually claim everyone.
so you store enough for you and the neighbours, and have a plan on how to grow food... an underground barn would make more sense than a gun for a doomsday bunker.
@@FerretKibble Bless your heart. Who pays for the size of a bunker that would take and who pays for the food storage for all the neighbors? What are the neighbors doing in the meantime? Nothing? Just counting on you to save their lives? Just the neighbors though? Why not food for the entire city or the whole country? That's hilarious.
unless the bunker had enough supplies. or the black out clouds lasts less then six months

When they mention the lack of coal and oil: I remember an interesting theory that I read about over 20 years ago. What if an advanced civilization (or even civilizations) that existed before today's mankind had already used up all "super energy sources" (like "Element 115" and whatever else) and left us with the scraps like coal, oil, nuclear energy and so on?
Far-fetched, granted, but nice to spend a thought or two on.

There is a program - in its infancy and likely inadequate - but if an asteroid is detected in time, it is possible to slihtly alter its course. But Humanity NEEDS to be established on multiple worlds.
There is plenty, if it's discovered early enough.

A fun fact: the problem with asteroid impacts is not only how big they are, but also where they hit. The Chicxulub asteroid - known for having wiped out the Dinosaurs - fell onto an area that's rich in sulphur compounds, and that's what plunged the Earth into a decades-long dark age.

This is it demonstrated.@@Threedog1963
Decades? I heard it was merely a couple of years.
@@Threedog1963 fun fact : I definitely didn't have fun.
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.

@@Carlos_oc__ lol. you a little cognitively compromised or what?
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.
@@Carlos_oc__ tiktok attention span right here.
Lots of spare parts for air filtration, a large enough underground area for farm land, growing mushrooms, grow rabbits and feed them food scraps from the farm for meat... ideally have ground water filtration system as well... If a shelter doesn't have all that, then they are f'ed up. Canned food only gets you so far after all and you need to plan for what comes afterward.
I'd just admit the fact that there is just no point in trying. I'd just spend the last few minutes looking up at the sky and the Earth, thinking about what we did, and heaving a huge sigh, of relief and pain

Wouldn't you need at least 2 or 3 years worth of food for an extinction level event? For a family of four, that would be like 10,000 MREs and 10,000 bottles of water. You would need one heck of a bomb shelter. Maybe you could dig a well and have a water filtration system of some sort, which would save space. You'd still need space for all that food, though. Then there's the matter of fuel, for heat, cooking, and electricity. It might make sense to leave the kids outside when the asteroid hits.
For real lol, I mean what world would you be living in now ya know
The worst part is/ this has happened before and so it will happen again in the future. We are here, and then gone…
Be a little more optimistic.
MREs provide everything you listed (heat, cooking, food, water purification) for the immediate use
1 mushroom and 1 potato cover all amino acids and food needs for the rest of time
A decade worth of multivitamins can fit in a suitcase
Water can't be bottled (no space) so a freshwater well is given

With Robert dead, Micheal and his teenaged son, Luke, confer. They at last decide that it would be both selfish and inhumane were they not to allow the recently widowed neighbor, along with her two daughters, to enter the shelter.
Later, while Lily's sudden and mysterious demise saddened all, it did allow the group to stretch supplies enough to allow those remaining to survive an additional five days underground.
At the end of those five days the “survivors” emerged and, to their considerable surprise, learned that a group of, currently rather red-faced, scientists had made a slight miscalculation.

And the fact that I won't be poisoned or incinerated to death.
As an Australian, I can confirm that it is a daily struggle to avoid falling into the sky, however I will say these spiders don't actually fly, they fall into the sky and sometimes they are heavy enough to fall back down and pick us off 1 by 1

It's been long since i've seen a video i got so invested in. The serious tone in your voice throughout the entire video was amazing and pulled me in deep.
This video was perfect. We need part two!
Yeah true
The part 2 is Darkseid appears and terraforms the earth into a New Apokolips and continues his search for the AntiLife Equation
Another asteroid coming down......
I think part 2 would be an Uber wake-up call & a real ending for the main character & his family. I'm afraid. So sad..
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.
Do you get me, like ?
Part two is the family figures out all their meager shelter did was prolong the inevitable. They too will die from starvation or no water. Remember, most the water has also been vaporized or contaminated at this point.

Great video. I do feel that the size of your impactor IS NOT reflected in the damage depicted. You described Chicxulub (estimated to be 6 miles), not a 48x37 mile rock. The damage would be exponentially worse. The moment it hit the atmosphere would likely take out a good portion of Europe. People standing "beneath" its entry trajectory would simply disappear. Back to carbon.
A projectile with a diameter of 42.5 miles with a middle of the road density of 2000 kg/m^3 traveling at 20 km/s and impacting crystalline rock at an angle of 45 degrees would release 6.7x10^25 Joules of energy. This is equivalent to 1.6x10^10 megatons of TNT. Chicxulub is estimated to have released something like 1.0x10^8 megatons of TNT. This is a big difference. At the location depicted in the video a earthquake measuring 11.4 would arrive 19.2 minutes after impact. Michael and his family WOULD NOT survive this.
He just checked the impact simulator. However je misinterpreted it. At 6000 km from the impact point the sismic wave is no longer 11.4 and will barely do damage. Also the average ejecta will be 8 inches thick, so I really doubt that this guy city will be that damaged by fire. Also note that his neighbour could have survived the impact by just staying outside the shelter inside the tunnel that lead to the surface…
shoutout to the cameraman that was with the family throughout all of this
At 6:13, the narrator says the asteroid is the size of Rhode Island. The Chicxulub strike was only a six-mile wide asteroid. No way anything survives this.
So, the neighbours could have survived the initial impact just by staying in the tunnel.
nah they're extremely lucky to have survived with only 20 ft of underground protection
You had fun with this one huh guys? Well done and superb narration man! Been crazy to see this channel grow!
One of your best videos. I felt emotional during this. Great job.
Better than most movies I've seen 👏🏾
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.
Meteorites usually have multiple times the speed of a bullet. Unless it approaches in a very low angle, it will be seconds between first sight and touchdown.
I love these scenarios. They are always so realistic.
Bro this would be terrifying
You should make this into a series. It would be awesome.
I have never understood the need to keep the "president" and cabinet safe as if they can't be replaced. The ones that should be taken to a bunker are the medical and engineering professionals. These are the people you need after something like that, not some blundering politician.
COG
Looks like a pretty plausible and distinctly possible mini documentary on that long talked about, long overdue urban redevelopment project on a planetary scale to me. Great video!
“20 feet of stairs” precedes to climb a ladder.*
Yeah, that is a bit much.
This was honestly one of your better videos! And you always make good contact but this was very enthralling. Thank you
If this is one of the better ones, I'd hate to see the worst.
The compression of the atmosphere is intense enough to create plasma and produce xrays. An asteroid this large would punch a hole in the atmosphere creating a vacuum channel out into space. It would look like a column of molten debris as material shoots up the channel. The dust in the atmosphere would drop temperatures for a 100 years to the point where plants would die off.
Who are your writers, these have been amazing!! This one and the WW3 hour-by-hour a few months ago stand out as brilliantly researched and written.
This is wonderful for my anxiety
If this fantasy causes you anxiety, wait till I tell you about the common cold.
The beginning scenario is right out of a twilight zone episode called the shelter
And The Simpsons episode that parodied it.
There’s a Quantum Leap episode that’s the same too!
The title is totally inaccurate but another excellent episode.
It is wildly optimistic for what would really happen with a hit this size.
I thought the episode was lacking in character development and back stories. For eg, I'm almost certain that Michael and Carol had been having an affair.
Phenomenal writing and great story telling. My only qualm is that an asteroid the size of Rhode Island would destroy everything on Earth, even underground. The asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs was only 6km wide. A 20km wide asteroid would destroy everything
If a 0.08% death rate virus provoked all this madness we see in the last three years, I can only imagine what the reaction would be with a 100% death rate.
There would be no one to react to it.
@@anthonyrivera3624 Some dignity after all.
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. If one the size of the one that took out the dinosaurs (7.5m wide) hit, the resulting underground shockwave will take out just about every small bunker in the world. A seriously reinforced bunker might stand a chance, but how common are those?
I'm not sure that's true, though it could take out all the ones on the continental plate where it hits. That said, I'm not 100% sure. That's an interesting point. @@ryant115
This is much larger than 66 million years ago. That rock wasn't the size of Rhode Island, it was about 7 miles across. This is much much worse.
I don't know if the shockwave would move across tectonic plates. Maybe. I agree with you on the plate that's hit. That's believable.@@ryant115
bro... you can't get me so invested in a story that only lasts for 20 minutes...
Only?
without governmental effort, family sized shelter will last maybe 3 months.
You need non-fossil fuel, non-solar powered aquaponic, huge water reservoir, air filtration, shtload of crossbow bolts, air rifles and ammo, and few emergency gun powder based weapons
This is without a doubt one of the best channels on RUclips
If you havent yet, play the game "Soma".
Its a horror/existential horror game surrounding the crew of a deep sea excavation team that survives an extinction level impact while u der water. The story is about what happened to them afterwards....
Where can you play it
I had a thought while watching this. As parts of shat used to be the Pyrenees Mountains come raining back down, much of it would land in the oceans, and that would create large tsunamis around the world causing more destruction.
I still loved your video, from the POV of a family in a shelter instead of the dry science of "this happens, then that happens next, then this would happen next" that most videos of this topic show.
Parts of shat??? 😂
Very well made video! Keeps you entertained while at the same time being informative. The story of Michael and his family was kinda depressing lol. Makes me think they should have just refused to take shelter. Living in a post apocalyptic world is much worse than dying imo. Definitely one of your best videos. 😁
Especially when you consider the kind of people who would survive.
Let's see how you feel when the asteroid actually comes.
Exactly. Best case scenario, we'd have another asteroid belt. Worst case, some survive.
@@pa28cfi till they turn on you
His grandfather would’ve had replacement parts for the air filtration system if he had built that bunker
It is amazing to see there are peep holes which can use to shoot someone, but do not allow air to diffuse.
you might realize ITS A MOVIE
@@PP-uv1kw So?
@@PP-uv1kw not an accurate movie
You can put a small sliding door over the peep hole.
he shot his bessie!
b'stard!
Excellent video, and very thought provoking. Sadly, I would not survive long at all in such a scenario.
Considering the world that would be left, dying quickly wouldn't be all that sad. There would definitely be some survivors that were jealous of you.
What gets me is how many near misses there have been in just the last 50 years of monitoring.
We are lucky for each day. I just wish humans would band together to try and secure the future of humanity.
that's one of my goals for the future
they keep telling us how unlikely an impact is, but every few weeks it's like, oh here comes another one
i love this channel man. so educational thanks man
Dang not many people are here! love your videos. I learn alot from them
Firstly: Don't try to protect your kids from reality, or teach them false morality.
Anyone, including neighbours, who try to break into your shelter or use your supplies, are a threat to you and must be dealt with.
That's way you don't tell your friends and neighbors about your shelter.
Staying inside the shelter even with a broken filtration system would be preferable to going topside. Just open the doors. If you’ve got to breathe the air better to be hidden somewhat than completely exposed on the surface.
So well done I could visualize every moment w/o even watching the video!! 👏👏👏
I was sat there cheerfully watching something that was uplifting when I suddenly thought “I wanna watch something to depress me.”
Cheers
There was the original TV series"Twilight Zone" episode similar to this one, only it was a false alarm. But there were also nuclear war episodes too." The Shelter", "Time Enough at Last", " One More Pallbearer" and to a lesser extent "Third Rock from the Sun", "Elegy", "the Old Man in the Cave", and "Two".
I immediately thought of that when I started watching this.
But as you recall in the Twilight Zone episode it turned to be just a false alarm in the end. It was a great character study.
The shelter
"The Old Man in the Cave" episode was fantastic!
Slightly depressing to think about, but definitely a fantastic video nonetheless! Love the variety of information and results. Thank you for continuing to make such premier content.
You should read some of the stories of the 2018 Hawaii false missile alert. So many interesting stories from people who were thinking they were facing death. 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."😆
Hey, at least we figured out how to solve global warming.
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.
@@johnstrawb3521 global warming? are you still in the early 2000s or something? even the term climate change is not even popular anymore. If you want to 'support the current thing', at least be up to date with the current term.
@@TheSiprianus whats the current term?
I always say in this types of scenarios, I would just prefer to die on the spot rather than surviving to a world that’s is no longer one
Knowing what the shock wave would be like, why did Michael not prepare thick insulating blankets for his family to wrap themselves in to absorb the impact? Instead, they just waited for it sitting on the couch.
Right or get you and your family a mask!! Like duhh

Except the neighbor. He got killed.
