Summary of new History Channel (cable) show outlining attack on Washington DC with small nuclear weapon and the response to it

Day After Disaster

Against a morning sky, a mushroom cloud spirals heavenward. A nuclear bomb has detonated in the heart of Washington D.C., incinerating 15,000 residents in just 15 seconds. More than 50% of the population living within a 1/2 mile radius of the explosion is either dead or severely injured. The next 24 hours will determine whether the rest of the city lives or dies. To survive this horrific ordeal they will need a plan. And lucky for us--there is one. But will it work? For the first time on television, the Department of Homeland Security reveals the most detailed and comprehensive plan to save America should terrorists go nuclear. This chilling two-hour special delves into the complex and highly secretive world of disaster planning.

"Then.....out of a nearby telephone booth, resplendent in blue tights and red cape.....steps SuperBarack!!"

....he calls a few meetings, checks the polls, then decides that fixing a nuclear explosion would be "hard" and "It's Conservatives' Fault anyway", so he packs up the kids to head to Martha's Vineyard for an extended vacation....

Well you know the IRS has plans to collect taxes even after a nuclear exchange.

Watching the show right now. This is a real buzzkill of a show so I developed a drinking game. I'm taking a swig every time they show footage of my office getting blown away by the blastwave. I'm already pretty pished...

Interesting show though.

If you think this thought is scary..... I can’t wait until warner bros puts out the movie after the book “one second after”.... about EMP detonation above the us.....

a very real possibility!! esp now that Iran has proven its long range missile!
