@janneyisin There's absolutely no escaping you fuckers is there

That's not nuclear winter its too sunny and warm for that. Nevill Shute wrote this book before the phenomenon of nuclear winter caused by atomic weapons, was even known about. Radiation was the only long term threat that was known then. Anyway the Chinese would launch a few missiles at Ausralia and New Zealand if any war took place. This TV film is pure fantasy that Australia would be untouched by the intital war.

@Professor6871 right on Professor :))



[ObssesedNuker]

@Professor6871 Many, many books on the subject as well as research on the internet. I have a fascination with this stuff as my name might indicate.

[Professor6871]

@ObssesedNuker Oh is it dam I should of read my James Weekly then. By the way where did you come by this information?

[ObssesedNuker]

@Professor6871 Where, with a regular nuke of 500 kilotons (which is the rough average of most modern strategic nuclear warheads), an ordinary human would be reduced to the consistency of a McDonalds hamburger in the first second after detonation.

[ObssesedNuker]

@Professor6871 A neutron bomb is a very low yield two-stage thermonuclear device whose design is built to maximize the output of neutron radiation. When detonated you still get a nuclear explosion, with the attendant shockwave and thermal pulse, its just less powerful then a ordinary thermonuke. Additionally, a neutron bomb is a poor choice for use against city's, because even a neutron bomb would only inflict lethal levels of direct neutron radiation at only one or two kilometers... cont.

[Professor6871]

@ObssesedNuker Perhaps the bomb that exploded there was neutron bomb instead of an ordinary nuke. I remember in the 80s they developed a weapon that didn't destroy buildings but just killed people and everything else in the vicinityall by the intense radiation gamma radiation from the blast.

@megaswenson Why watch it then if you find it boring? Its not compulsoryto watch it. There's plenty of mindless bubble gume entertainment on You Tube for to watch.

[geoffck6969]

Lol!! It's pretty obvious that all of the "American" sailors, besides Captain Toolhead Towers are Aussies faking Yank accents and faking them very, very poorly...

[megaswenson]

This is so friggin' boring! Who cares about all these damn hysterical emotions? I know it's way cheaper to film emotional moments aboard a Submarine than pretty much anything else......but this is so BORING!

[geoffck6969]

0:57 What warheads are they talking about? At 4:57 of Part 9, the submarine they are boarding is a Los Angeles Class attack submarine. The only nuclear warheads on board her would be armament on torpedoes and depth charges. These guys are implying that the Captain didn't fire his SLBM's. The only sub that would carry SLBM's in the American fleet are Ohio Class Ballistic Missile subs armed with Trident II MIRV'ed missiles.
