From what I hear, this clip is considered to be one of the most realistic depictions of what would happen if a nuke were to hit.

not really. the maximum distance from the hypocenter which would produce instant clothes/skin/etc burning effects from the flash would necessitate a proximity that would mean the blast wave would arrive a mere second or two at most afterward. also, you would not be turned into dust statues as depicted and I highly doubt your skeleton would remain clutching the fence as your flesh is ripped off. that's just silly.

actually last time a nuke went off and I was next to it, my skeleton did continue holding onto the fence. I laughed when I happened cause I thought the same thing as you when I remembered this clip

yeah that could never happ

see "Threads" for another lovely scenario of 'life' after a nuclear exchange

Well, I doubt it's really fact, but I did read that somewhere. I'm almost tempted to say Slashdot, but it's been a while.

I just love how great the effects look. Filmmakers today are too reliant on CG.

Agreed, hooray for model-making!

Ah, so that's how it works. Thanks, maybe I should read the FAQ some more
