If atomic bombs dropped all over the world tommorow, would humaity be able to survive? and if we did, where would we go from that?

Discuss!

I suppose the "chosen few" would survive in their underground bunkers. It would depend on the extent of the damage caused to the planet. It would affect all kinds of life, even vegetation. Plants, animals etc if not killed would become contaminated. The food would quickly run out.

Officially, only a few countries still have nuclear capabilities, so its not like the cold war where the threat was very real. I know its only hypothetical but I honestly dont think this will ever happen. Those weapons are SO destructive that just the threat of having them is enough to prevent anyone from actually using them.

Of course Life goes On.
As not every Zone gets the Top Impact.


But for example
if a Nuke went off in a Van in London


Scotland would become a Republic,
New Labour would be gone.

I would move to Scotland
as the Yanks would take over & run England.

or Manchester? and Conservatives would be brown bread too

England would probably have to become dependant on other nations as it is a small island

No Manchester would not be a big Enough impact.

A Nuke in a Van
can park in Central London
when it goes off you find no trace.

Thats why the Yanks would take over England
as they would not know for sure who did it, and worry about their nation.


So I would Move
to the Republic Of Scotland
which does not need Yanks helping them.

If that happened to London would it effect Manchester?
Would I die?

I think if they dropped alover the world, it's not likely that a lot of people would survive.

if a nuke destroyed London, the only effect in Manchester would be overcrowding from evacuees

How far would a nuke travel if it went off in London? Would it reach Portsmouth?

If I am honest the chance of it happening are becoming stronger and stronger. World War 3 doesn't sound as ridiculous as it used too. With North Korea becoming so insanely scary, the idea isn't impossible now.

Lets not forget if this pretend nuke went off in London then the fall out of it could affect the whole country depending on the wind at the time, fall out can travel for many miles and polute everything in its path.

I live in the north east and I would be VERY scared if a nuke went off in London.
