All language subtitles for [English (auto-generated)] Doomsday_ 10 Ways the World Will End_ Nuclear War THREATENS Earth (Season 1) _ History [DownSub.com]

in August 1945 nuclear war became a

reality when the United States dropped

two atomic bombs on cities in Japan

seven decades later the Arsenal's of the

great powers are 140,000 times more

powerful

what would happen if a nuclear war broke

out today it will be the worst thing

ever to happen in human history

it's the moment people across the world

have feared for more than 70 years an

incident between the United States and

Russia has escalated out of the ten

thousand nuclear weapons that are in the

possession of the military roughly 1,800

are on alert ready to go on top of

ballistic missiles on very short notice

the overwhelming amount of nuclear

weapons on alert our US and Russia the

US and Russia have missiles both on subs

and on land land missiles are based deep

in the heartland of each country and

while both sides have them in silos only

Russia deploys mobile launchers

these weapons are designed to kill and

destroy on an unsinkable level if you

make the rocket very large and you can

make the nuclear warheads very small you

don't have to limit yourself to just one

warhead per missile some missiles have

as many as 10 warheads each 150 times as

powerful as the bomb that destroyed

Hiroshima in 1945 in the first strike

you're gonna have something in the order

of 600 to 700 ballistic missiles with

nuclear warheads from both countries

flying against each other a nuclear war

the modern age is going to be pretty

fast a lot of it is gonna be motivated

by the fact that a lot of our weapons

are targeting a lot of their weapons and

vice versa

so whoever strikes first gets to use

their weapon if you leave the weapon in

the silo and they're allowed to hit it

then you've lost them

they call this user or losing

the first cities that would be hid are

cities that have important military and

civilian leadership and command

structure in them Washington DC Moscow

you would have enormous lead devastating

consequences in Washington DC the most

likely targets to be hit very early on

include the White House and the Pentagon

is 500 kiloton warhead attack on the

White House would create a fireball with

a diameter of one mile you are vaporized

you are instantly one with the universe

at virtually the same time as Russian

bombs hit Washington the US Britain and

France strike Moscow with 80 warheads

the city becomes a field of flaming

wreckage

and a million people are dead almost

instantly in Kansas America's heartland

the first occupants arrive at a unique

high-end survival bunker

lavishly outfitted from the remains of a

silo that once housed an Atlas rocket

America's first intercontinental

ballistic missile there are very many

fallout shelters anymore but people have

decked out these missile silos into

these luxury apartments

they cost more than a million dollars

they have five years worth of food

they've got hydroponic growing systems

and apparently 70 people that's a

community can live for five years and

wait for the worst to blow over as the

war expands worldwide a Russian naval

commander finds a target of opportunity

in the southern pacific an American

aircraft carrier docked in Australia at

Sydney Harbor

the Russian commander launches a

nuclear-tipped cruise missile at it to

take it out the carrier and it's 6000

crew members are instantly vaporized

6,000 miles away american nukes strike

beijing as the u.s. suspects Chinese

involvement in the Sydney attack Chinese

submarines retaliated with nuclear hits

along America's west coast

from Seattle to San Diego

[Music]

the death toll pushes past 100 million

as thousands of square miles are left

smouldering for cities and military

bases once stood look back at the atomic

bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and

Nagasaki if you just multiply that by

millions you can imagine the aftermath

of a global nuclear exchange when

Russian warheads struck American missile

silos in the northern Mountain States

radioactive fallout began taking a

massive toll

wind patterns would carry it and drop it

on huge areas of the country so that

would essentially be no safe place to go

to have some idea of what's gonna happen

in the future after these cities are

ruined think of Chernobyl there were

cities nearby that were evacuated today

they're really overgrown with vegetation

and animals are just roaming freely

there

[Music]

that's what its gonna be across huge

swaths of North America for example the

world now settles into a deep gloom as

the skies go dark the bombs started

massive fires that sent fifty million

tons of soot into the air the soot from

the massive nuclear fueled fires blocked

so much sunlight that it plunges the

world into a sudden nuclear winter this

is an ice age with Fallout with

radiation everything is going to be

damaged in some way or another

scientists say a nuclear winter will

freeze the earth for about two decades

the onset of this winter is shocking

this is a long-term horrible horrible

catastrophe that would happen in the

case of a global thermal nuclear war two

decades later the fiery destruction of

nuclear war has left half the planet in

ruins and nearly 90 percent of the

world's population has died off say a

handful of people do make it and they're

in one of these shelters then it's time

for them to venture back out onto the

surface

they will be entering into a completely

unfamiliar terrain everything they knew

of would be gone the earth eventually

begins to thaw from its nuclear winter

the winds break up the global cloud

cover letting sunlight back in and the

planet slowly warms with the passage of

time the world's decimated population

grows slowly

a century later the ruins of abandoned

cities are overgrown by weeds as nature

eventually reclaims them

there is little rebuilding in the

northern hemisphere where the

destruction was the greatest now the

real interesting question is what will

happen with the rest of the world will

maybe perhaps Brazil rise to power or

South Africa or even Australia but a

rise to power will be a slow process a

city like Rio de Janeiro may not have

been physically destroyed but so many

died from starvation that few people

remain to pick up where civilization

left off survivors and the warring

countries become refugees driven to head

for warmer climates people will migrate

knowing that perhaps Brazil won't be as

affected a lot of people are gonna move

from the states from the barren States

to Brazil or maybe Australia we already

see how refugees operate today countries

are devastated by war and people have to

leave with nothing but the shirts on

their back so they walk huge distances

or they get on a boat and risk their

life trying to cross a sea that is very

treacherous but when you have nothing

left to lose

you might as well risk it all nobody

really knows how many people could

survive a nuclear winter but I'm a

little bit of an optimist

they think humans are incredibly crafty

and we've come a long way since our

cave-dwelling ancestors we're really

smart we've got a lot of dis knowledge

written down the scientific method

allows us to quickly pick up from where

we left off we now know how to make

progress much faster we know how not to

fool ourselves we'll enough people

survive we're guessing that between a

thousand and ten thousand humans would

have enough of a variety that we could

kick-start the human race again but if

they were able to you know hold on and

survive you could have a birth of a new

super culture which would be really cool
