I'd watch the pretty sub-orbital fireworks display as the US shoots it down, then go to Vancouver 6 or so months later and see if any of the 1.2 billion cooked Chinese had washed ashore for dinner yet!

And how can you be sure that ICBM has nuke? It could be some dumb terrorist that wasn't aware that china has nukes stored on different place than ICBMs.
If it would launched willingly if you aren't from NY W D.C. or LA. You are more or less safe. China haven't as much warheads as US.

I'd get into my car and get on the highway going to the South of Denver, and get moving. Especially given the speed limit is 75 miles per hour once you get significantly South of Denver on the highway, I should be able to get about 45 miles away before the nuke hits its target. Given the lack of developement substancially South of Denver, its highly unlikely that another nuke will hit in the area. Why die when you can get away safely?

You know that NORAD, The Air Force Academy, and Fort Carson are located just south of Denver don't you? I suggest heading in any other direction.

quote: Originally posted by Tingkai I'd be wondering what Hong Kong did to piss off Beijing. I have a question for any nuke experts. I live on the north side of Hong Kong Island. There's an east-west range of hills on the island and the hills are about 400-metres high. If a US ( ) nuke lands on the south side of the island, do the hills provide any protection from the initial blast?

Well son, in all reality they'd probably detonate a half a dozen or so warheads in the HK area... So one of them will likely explode 250 feet above your house

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!

Now that I think of it, perhaps a better alternative would be to head down to the hospital and steal their helicopter, pick up the girlfriend, and fly away...probably head on to Mexico, get on a jet from there to some remote island in the Pacific...something that's populated, but not worth wasting a nuclear weapon on.

They are located significantly further South. I would be between the two blast locations. Incidentally, China really doesn't have that many nukes, so if they are using one on my location, they may not even target those other possibilities. (The Air Force Academy probably isn't the best target since they would be primarily taking out untrained pilots instead of experienced onces.)

I would think fondly of how LA no longer exists, or won't in a few minutes. That surely will warm my heart (until the nuke does).

Most nukes now are around 1 megaton. So, here's what a 1 megaton nuke does. Creates a fireball with the mininum radius of 450 metres, can be up to 700. Within radius of 2.7 kilometres, it's a very strong blast. Basically, it's near total fatalities for humans and largely destruction of anything there. Within 3.1 kilometres, you get 500 rem ion radiation - guarantees you're dead. Within 7.2 kilometres, destruction is very high - it's unlikely for humans there to survive, it will mostly be rubble there. Finally, 11.7 kilometres is the radius of thermal radiation, resulting in severe burns.

Now, if you can jump into a car and drive 60 km away from your house, you are absolutely safe.

That is the most bizarre usage of "absolutely safe" I have ever heard in my life...

For one thing, you are very likely going to be involved in an automoblie accident at the very least...

Not to mention the nuke going off!
