[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other cities, if bombed, would likely get an air burst detonation to maximize casualties, which means a wider damage radius, but lower fallout. The bombs dropped on DC and the Pentagon will be ground burst, because their job is to disrupt military command and control networks. That means a smaller blast radius but much, much worse fallout. Depending on prevailing winds, you'd be looking at a 10-50 mile plume of fallout deposition where no one would be able to leave their homes for 3-4 weeks or else they'd receive a lethal dose of radiation. That area would not be inhabitable again in our lifetimes. It'd be like the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Personally, and I say this with all seriousness, if one nuke goes off in Europe, I'm getting on the next flight to Argentina, because the Northern Hemisphere is going to be in for some rough times, and huge swaths of it would become uninhabitable. [/quote]

I'd be moving in with my in-laws in[b] Chicago [/b]for sure. And I hate them so I don't say it lightly. [/quote]

You probably wouldn't be safe there. Even though some on DCUM like to laugh about "fly-over" land, there are some valuable targets there.[/quote]
