When everyone not wearing 2 million + sunblock is gunna have a real bad day... (NOTE: No preloader)
This started as a school project. We had to do some on-line newspaper about a given topic, and I chose to do one on the possibility of a nuclear war. I made a joke flash on what will happen between Bush/Ill, in the end showing the world blow up in a "Defcon" style view.
At the end it quickly scrolled through a list of nuclear radiation poisoning symptoms, ending in the message "feel like joking about a nuclear war now?" I decided to expand on that idea, and I ended up with this.
This is, actually, the first flash project that I sat down, started working, and everything came together just the way I had planned it (see "playtime trailer", an example of when things didn't go this way...).
I had fun making this, and learned a fair bit. It's also good to know I have an extra-credit Ace up my sleeve if ever I'm failing science.

I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did making it.

Don't believe everything. Even if the bomb will be destroyed, there's still radiation. And you arn't able to destroy every single bomb during a massive nuclear attack. And even the EMP is bad enough.
And building a nuke isn't that complicated. The risk of a nuclear assault isn't as high as during the cold war but it still exists. Not to forget that "accidents" like in Tshernobyl can happen. And don't forget "dirty bombs".
dear god
i cant imagine anyone going through 6-10 Sv's
Won't happen
With today's technology nuclear warfare is no longer a threat any country that fires a nuclear missile will be destroyed. The EMP that results from a nuclear blast is a much more effective weapon than the blast itself.
Not likely.
Despite whatever the leaders of North Korea, Iran, or even Al Quaeda (and all other major terrorist groups) say, the chances of them actually using a nuclear weapon in war is incredibly slim. The reason is that with modern technology, there's no real need for a weapon that can blow up the city of a hostile target (apart from usage as a last-ditch GTFO to enemy forces or simply as the ultimate morale-killer); you can just destroy the target itself, ending far fewer lives. And, even if you were to only use them as a morale-killer, there are far better ways of doing so. Fighting an enemy with the capability to level an entire city may be frightening, but going against an enemy who can destroy exactly what he wants, and only what he wants is even scarier. Oh, and to phsychofrog, most ballistic missiles on earth ARE nuclear weapons; nukes take up less space and weigh less, and that means you can launch a nuke missile of the same size farther, and make a nuke missile of the same weight larger (and also launch it further), than a ballistic missile with normal warheads.
um good message?
not that anything WE say or do is gunna start another cold war. if theres ever gunna be something like that we wont have any control over it as civilians. which makes us damned lucky that our world leaders are sensible enough to withheld such force from causing damage ever again. if were guna fight wars and stuff its guns, rpgs, grenades, tanks, ballistic missile strikes etc.
