What If NYC Was Nuked? What Really Happens — Not the Movie Version
What would actually happen if NYC were hit by a nuclear weapon? In this video, I walk through a realistic nuclear strike scenario involving a single 150-kiloton warhead, based on modern military doctrine, likely delivery methods, and how nuclear weapons are actually planned for and used — not Hollywood depictions or exaggerated doomsday scenarios. This analysis focuses on: • Why a single warhead is the most likely scenario • Airburst vs ground burst and why it matters • What happens depending on how from the blast you are • Which effects cause the most casualties — and which don’t This is not speculation, fear-mongering, or fiction. It’s a grounded look at what experts and planners consider most probable, using publicly available data and historical context. If you live in or near a major city, understanding realism — not myths — matters.
