NEW VIDEO: What if We Nuke a City? (Patreon)

Content

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. This collaboration was a blast (no pun intended) and we want to say a huge thank you to the International Red Cross! Please check out https://www.notonukes.org to learn more about nuclear weapons and what you can do to stop them.Show less

Hello I love yur channel so much Keep up the gud work.and great animations BTW.

L4m3ness

Definitely not a question I ever dared to ask xD And the answer is not pretty x_x Nicely done

ANTIcarrot

Yes, we know what nukes are and what they do. And while I have no objection to the channel telling others what I already know, I do object to factually dubious one sided propaganda made on comission. The flipside to the horror is that it does only take a small group of rich lunies to set off a nuke, and getting rid of your nukes won't stop that. But having nukes will probably stop them if they care at all about counterstrike, and MAD is pretty effective against all the large groups of lunies who already have nukes. Which is another question this video ignored. How many nations, particularly Russia and America, are willing to give up their nukes? Because if just one bad actor is left when everyone else gives up their nukes, then that just makes the consiquences in this video more likely.

Very interesting, nicely done!

Lunies can't shoot nukes if there's no nukes to begin with.

This episodes great! I really like it. I like that you guys went further beyond just the blast. Seeing how help can't just arrive, and how the effect of a nuke is similar to all those natural disasters put together, shows just how powerful Human Kind is. We're a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully we can use that force in more productive ways, rather than just throwing rocks at each other.

Off to check out the video, wanted to note that you wrote "off" instead of "of" I think. Not trying to be pedantic, just trying to help catch it early.

Pretty unsettling video, given today’s developments

Team Saunders

Go Kurzgesagt!! BBC trending has been tracking a coordinated movement in Russian state controlled media that is attempting to portray nuclear conflict as “not that bad and exaggerated by the west to deny Russia a means to defend itself” meanwhile the giant man-baby trump removes the controls, backs out of the agreements and ratchets the rhetoric. This video reminds us the reality. That there will be no winners. That it will be horrific and the innocent will suffer the most, along with the devastation of the environment and natural world. Once again your contribution is timely, thoughtful and compelling. You’ve had an awesome 2019 - keep it up.

Wow. That was absolutely terrifying, and really brings home what would truly happen if we were stupid enough to use nukes. Amazing job, as always.

Haven't seen the video yet, but I imagine it's no different than setting off an EMP attack at a technologically integrated city.

I have a few recommendations if, like me, you have a morbid interest in this stuff: Films: * The Day After * Threads (the most grim program I have ever watched) * When The Wind Blows Books: * Nuclear Winter by Owen Greene * A Path Where No Man Thought by Carl Sagan * The Effects of Nuclear Weapons (try to find an old copy as these have a paper computing disk in the back to calculate yields and damage) One other thing - the video left out the effects of the initial electromagnetic pulse. Something of a glaring omission given Kurzgesagt's normally detailed explanations.

What was the yield of your hypothetical nuke?

Reno

I don't know... Something about this video gave me the feeling that it wasn't as well researched as usual. I had a look online and the numbers I found were different. Then I realised nukes vary in size and specs quite a lot, which wasn't indicated in the video. Then there was the urgent demand for action at the end. While I agree with the spirit, I can't share this with my friends or they'll take away the wrong message and I'll have to clarify the inevitable misunderstandings. The YouTube comments about Hiroshima and Nagasaki saddened me. People watching this will believe that we've already used nukes against one another and moved on. What you depicted has never happened in human history and that's important to point out.

As I mentioned in my earlier comment, the lack of information regarding the EMP effect of a nuclear detonation really undermines this video. Indulge me a moment. Take a look around your room. Maybe you can see a TV. Your games console underneath it. Your laptop or computer on your desk. Your mobile phone. Within the blink of an eye, everyone of these devices is fried. You cannot call for help. You can't text or message anyone. News from the TV or radio is gone. Even if you had special hardened devices, the connecting cables and telecom masts are destroyed. It gets worse. If you have a hearing aid, one of your primary senses is gone. If you had a pacemaker, you're now at a much higher risk of a heart attack. This is why the missed info in the video puzzles me. Even a low yield weapon (which tend to create much more dangerous forms of fallout) can wreck untold havoc, even if the fire and shockwave are more contained- all from the EMP. The film Threads draws its name from the myriad social connections we depend on for our survival. In these much more intimately connected times, where surviving without a phone or internet access is deemed an oddity, we have many more threads to be severed by a nuclear attack.

Hello! Eu sou do Brasil, sempre vejo seus vídeos. Esse vídeo me despertou um sentimento contínuo de dever, dever como cidadão de fazer minha parte para que a situação do vídeo nunca mais aconteça! Obrigada pelo seu trabalho conscientizador!

Kate Adams

too right.

This was one of my favorite videos because it's now more important than ever for people all around the world to have a deeper understanding of nuclear weapons, their catastrophic and cruel effects, and the current risks they pose. In the U.S., the anti-proliferation discussion has fallen by the wayside since the "end" of the Cold War. Yet, we're still very close to "midnight" , that is, a nuclear weapons exchange between nations and or detonation of a nuclear device in a populated area by rogue factions. This video provided an informative, entertaining, widely-accessible, and non-aversive presentation of the grim effects and aftereffects that the detonation of a nuclear weapon in a city would have on populations and infrastructure. You guys managed to make this horrifying subject enjoyable and entertaining, which is seriously challenging to achieve without scaring most viewers away. Keep up the great work! Investigating the physics and effects of hypothetical explosions is a huge amount of fun, but sometimes a video like this is needed to properly inform people about the real-world risks and impacts! :)
