Imagine...


terrorists would throw a nuclear bomb on new yorK!
What would be?

i think that is a very dangerous possibility..............there are many ppl in the arabian world who would like to do that....

what would happen after such a attack???????

world economy would be destroyed?!

[aabbaDE]

maybe they do it to germany and then u be destroyed ...

[Lhtfajba]

I doubt any "forum regular's" residents go about their day thinking about this.

I saw a fright-umentary on 20/20 about this a while back. Once I saw the 3D "radius of destruction" graphic that took someone a week to design... I just turned it off. No one's ever pulled off terrorism of that scale (really, we've only had a few successful terror attacks in the U.S., so cancer is a lot scarier to me), and I don't believe humanity has sunk so low yet.

We used to go to home expositions when I was a kid. I remember a bomb shelter exhibit. On the table was a bible, a lit candle, and a big box of Ritz crackers. Funny the things we remember -

lmao

this reminds me of the bomb drills we used to have in elementary school. they used to make us go into the hallway and put our heads between out knees when the drill bell rang. guess it was basically to kiss our asses goodbye, cause it sure wasn't gonna help us live through a nuclear bomb.

We had the same thing, but we crouched under desks.

I guess if the nuclear bomb went off in NYC, we'd all be dead.

I wouldn't care much about about the world economy at that point, but thanks for the well-wishes, Stanley.

I had those in Jr. High. What a joke. Like being under a table was gonna save ya. I think they've stopped those, though. Finally outgrew the 50s mentality that all crisis can be averted by hiding under tables.

[xiaoselangone]

eh, I somehow doubt anyone is competent enough to pull it off. I mean we are talking about the same guys who wanted their deposit back for the van that they blew up in the WTC in 93. 9/11 was big and bad and blah blah but was it really THAT difficult to do? They attended flight schools to what, bank the airplane? I figure we create our own failures, if we're not stupid about security we'll be safe, and if they nuke NYC and I die I hope Bush does what I think he'd do.

History is loaded with examples of underestimating the enemy.

You guys are confusing the sophisticated nuclear bombs developed by countries with the crude dirty bombs made by terrorists groups. From what I understand, the crude bombs don't have the widespread explosive power of the weapons.
They are just regular bombs filled with a radioactive substance. It's likely that most people other than the ones in the immediate vicinity of the blast will survive.
In an article I read just last week (don't remember where though) they say that there is even doubt among the scientific community as to whether those type of crudely made bombs (using uranium) pose as great of a threat as people may fear. These type of bombs are not designed to cause widespread destruction but to spread fear.

OH MY GOD!!!!

I read this article just now and i am surprised...

I gave up reading this when they started saying that no one in America would have television service. L.A. would take over immediatly.

Edit: OMG, I am a 'Senior Member'!

... those type of crudely made bombs (using uranium) ...

They would use not uranium, but cesium-137 or cobalt-60 that could be found in many medical, industrial, and food irradiators.

As I will be dead under this scenario my opinion is of little importance.

Retaliation in kind would be the worst possible scenario.

Although -- given the nature of man -- retaliaton and utter destruction is most likely what would take place, leading to the end of the world as we know it.

You know, countries like to boast they have enough bombs to blow up the world 20 times or so. Question is, if you can blow up the world with one bomb, what good are the others?
