Will every one die if a nuclear bomb is dropped?

Could you hide in a bunker to save your life?

Not everyone. It would depend on the size of the blast and where you were. There were survivors of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, some of them were relatively close to the blast as well.

There would be plenty survivors of the immediate explosion but many more would die due to the after effects of radiation etc.

Being in a bunker may help, but quite honestly, surviving would probably be worse than getting obliterated in the actual explosion.

Obviously if you lived a long way away from a nuclear explosion you are fine - the 2 dropped in ww2 did not kill off the world population, neither have the thousands of test nuclear bombs that have taken place throughout the years killed off everyone.

A nuclear bomb has never exploded , but an atomic bomb has , the nuclear bomb and the atomic bombs are the same , but atomic bombs are less powerful , from a nuke ,the radiation would try travel though air and possibly wipe out the human race. The atomic bomb has less of a radiation affect , therefore it is basically the end of the world, you could hide in a bunker, but the radiation lasts for along time

Nuclear weapons destroy everything in the immediate area of the blast for

miles from ground zero - depending upon their size. You might survive

for a while at the bottom of a three mile deep mine.

If there were to be an exchange of dozens of nuclear weapons, it is likely

that the resulting "nuclear winter" would kill most life on earth - animal

and plant life - including all humans. Then evolution could start up again.

- without Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, but some brand new religions

would evolve. Most people cannot face the fact that there is no afterlife,

and require the fiction of an immortal soul that religions are happy to provide.

Give me some parameters and I'll give you an answer. First, how large, what is the kiloton weight and where is it to be dropped? What are the prevailing winds in that latitude? Is this a "dirty" bomb or one made with more refined fuels? My quick answer, and I'm a Professor of Physics, is "no". But, as I indicated, nothing of this nature is truly impossible given certain circumstances and the determination of the group dropping it or, however it is delivered; It needn't be dropped to be very, very deadly although an air blast is considered to have more immediate dissemination. Again, definitions are the only way to truly give you an accurate answer. Common theory holds that it would take many bombs scattered in some rational pattern to end life on earth. That is human life. Anything living far beneath the surface of the ground or the sea who can sustain life without surfacing would have a fairly strong chance of survival.

If a nuclear bomb was dropped in central London the entire population would be obliterated - with the exception of Toby Young and George Osborne. Them bastards are like human (?) whack-a-moles. That being the case being nuked would be a blessing.

The bacteria that we humans are

needs to be eradicated to give the

Earth a chance to regenerate, it

doesn't matter if it takes a few million

years.

Global nuclear conflict would be a blessing

( for Gaya )

Two nuclear bombs have been exploded, in Japan in 1945, not to mention all the test blasts that have taken place since then. Are we all dead?

no one, not one single person survived in the blast heat zone (about 3/4 a mile radius) of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear detonations..

not if u believe Indiana Jones and the crystal skull why the **** did they make that scene there was so much dumb **** in that movie but that scene was just stupid no way can u survive a nuclear explosion by getting in a fridge

there are people who survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki

a group of british prisoners were deep in the hold of a cargo ship and relatively close to the epicentre of the blast, and they all survived.

Could you hide in a bunker to save your life?

1 no, 100 no, 1,000 maybe, 10,000 more than likely yes.

-It would take a few Dozen MORE- than One. But if enough of them WERE; Yes we Would. :(

it depends how close you are to the blast, and where you are in relation to the fallout.

yes, it depends on how close you are and the gas which is then spread into air will spread like a motherfucker and kill everyone. peace
