NYC explains what to do after a nuclear explosion

[Por_sha911]

New York City launched a public service announcement Monday over what to do after a nuclear weapon incident, despite the low likelihood of such a catastrophic event occurring in America's largest city.

The 1.5-minute PSA outlines three steps New Yorkers can take to mitigate the threats of nuclear exposure.

Interesting. Its as if Vladimir is up to something....

Pretty good advice. There's not much you can do about the radiation, but mitigating the contamination is the right thing to do. I'm the chairman of the "Radiation Safety Committee" here at work, so I deal with this every day.

Nowhere on that list do I see "Put your head between your knees and kiss your sweet a.. goodbye"

Now, my plan is foolproof! In the event where the nukes fly I'm gonna run outside and yell at the sky "come get some beechayz" I figure I'd rather go out ins a blaze of glory.
I might even decide to burn every round of 9mm I have shooting at the sky! "He went down shootin" And I'd have Bon Jovi rockin on my earbuds!

Does a mask help?

What if you're the naked cowboy? Do you just get in the shower and wash off? Too many loose ends in this plan.

Top of Steinway tower would be a safe place to go.

I think that's a big miss.

Before I finished reading, I was going to suggest you need a 1911 to shoot at the nukes as they are incoming.

The problem is that unless you are really close to the blast, your "blaze of glory" is going to be a slow, painful death or maybe just losing some hair. Even massive doses of radiation don't kill you right away. You suffer.

We've had some electrical safety violations/events here at work lately and in the spirit of "safety messages", etc., our management sent out a story about the Demon Core. Louis Slotin worked here for awhile...

Back in the early 60's, we (young elementary school children) were taught how to react to a nuclear attack. Upon hearing the siren we were to either get under our desk or, go into the hallway and put our face to the wall and cover each side of our face.
I also remember later (late 60's or early 70's?) we were taught that you could get fresh water from your toilet tank (no, not the bowl). This was true but that isn't going to help much when your neighborhood is now a radioactive wasteland.

IMO the govt knew that this would have zero protection or survival but, it was a great way to keep from having public hysteria over the fear of impending nuclear attack.

Seems like NYC thinks the public needs another dose of propaganda to control the masses.
