@petrillic I was living in Triangle, VA for 9/11, right at the front gate to Quantico. So many targets around there.

@Lightfighter exactly. Nothing to worry about. You'll be charcoal before a nerve impulse gets anywhere.

@Lightfighter I think the safety procedure for a radioactive event is to go stand in the parking lot in alphabetical order.

[lightfighter@infosec.exchange]

@superflippy If you are still mobile after surviving the blast by taking cover under a desk that consists of pot metal and a piece of plywood, yes.

That's kinda my prep here, who's one of the top five employers in my town and less than 2 miles from my house? Boeing. What's the odds that Hazelwood Missouri, a town that likely no one outside of the area has heard of, is a target?

@Lightfighter Back in the day the lawn chair plan was exactly what scout leaders recommended if you ever heard that missiles were on their way.

@Lightfighter

Sometimes when we were out at the beach many years ago we would see a nuclear submarine heading out to sea and we would look up and wave to the Soviet satellites.

@Lightfighter I'm going to get naked and stand on the roof.

@atomicbird Beats the Army training I got back in the 80's... If you see a flash, go prone with your ass to the blast. About as useful as the desk in school.

This is the real reason I became a truck driver. If apocalypse comes for me, I'm stealing a diesel tanker trailer and Mad Maxing this shit.

[richboy50@woof.group]

@Lightfighter I live less than 20 mi from a major nuclear power plant target. The way I see it, I am definitely within the blast radius if it gets hit. Meh.

@theorangetheme @Lightfighter Yup, found the relevant quote I was looking for here. Also notable mention to @codinghorror for the other one. "I want to get somebody on the god damn phone before I kill 20 million people"
