To: Kaslin
Actually a small nuke would not destroy all that much of a city, relatively speaking, the contaminated areas could be much bigger based on bomb size and location/height of the blast.
The ensuing panic would be by the people running around right now with their head up their fourth point of contact.

When said attack comes, you and your family are on your own. Period. My friend stressed that our government wont be there to help us. It is broken beyond repair and incapable of assisting those most affected by the blast. BUT GOD.....

” Our government and media are failing us. Prepare for the worst. “
Doesn’t just apply to a nuc blast - or even terrorist action...
Anyone who is counting on Gummint to save us from any catastrophic event - from attack to natural disaster to economic collapse - is living in a dreamland.....

I’ll buy the inevitable nuclear/biological attack. But the panic and financial crash? Violence of neighbor-on-neighbor outside the affected area? No government services for months? Baloney.

Use those anonymous, high-ranking government sources for your stories quickly!

...Scaremongering by a clueless asshat....Nothing clueless about being prepared. We here in hurricane country have seen firsthand what goes on when civilization breaks down.
The media and government never told the people all that went on after Andrew.
I'd get serious about getting prepared.

our government wont be there to help us. It is broken beyond repair and incapable of assisting those most affected by the blast. He talked of critical infrastructures like water, electricity, fuel, banks, our food supply, medical services, police and firefighters, being unavailable for weeks or months. He warned of the blind panic that would follow such an explosion. Of the looting, of neighbor turning on neighbor to take what they dont have for their own survival. Of our economy suffering an economic loss in the trillions of dollars.The only part of this that is right is the trillions of dollars part.
Rescuers were all over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in hours, not days. And these terrorists would be unbelieveably lucky to engineer a 12-18 kT explosion - 0.5-1.0 kT is much more like it.
Why wouldn't we do better than the war-scarred Japanese?
Of course we would.

I am not worried, except for the hordes of idiots that are going to come swarming north or west from the blast site. That is the reason to have firearms and ammo.
And lots of water and spaghetti.

family lived far enough out to survive the coming nuclear blast
How does he know his family is far enough out? Does he know the City/Cities to be hit?

The only valid point here is this:
Our gov’t, at all levels (fed, state, local) have abdicated their primary responsibilities.
Borders are uncontrolled, invaders allowed to walk our cities.
Convicted criminals are turned back onto the streets via weak sentencing.
Drug users never held responsible for accidents, lost productivity or health care cost.
Infrastructure (air, roads, rail) incapable of handling the growth in population.
Infrastructure (air, roads, rail) not maintained properly.
Social services abused by the in-eligible and mismanaged.
Billions of dollars lost by gov’t agencies.
Law enforcement officers that are untrained, incompetent and neutered.
Need I go on?

I have serious doubts that there are any “suitcase bombs” out there in the wilderness. It does seem to be the subject of constant apprehension, kind of like global warming. I guess we just never trusted the Soviets to tell the truth about anything.
