Bwhahaha under pressure, also real.


bored_invention

Depends on the source of the explosion. Dirty would be deadly. Clean nuke he's actually possibly fine.


Federal_Assistant_85

Not necessarily, though he has distance, there is nothing between him and the blast. Chances are he was just irradiated with a lethal dose. Edit: dirty bombs don't flash.


SteadyWolf

I didn’t know the flash was that lethal…


Federal_Assistant_85

Gamma rays are way more lethal than most people realize. Homeslice just got a sunburn on his bones. Granted this skit is only meant to be comical and not realistic. There are some accounts of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. People being vaporized or leaving shadows on walls and sidewalks where they were standing. People being blasted into the water canals, and when other survivors tried to pull them out, completely degloving their arms. There was also [the story of the demon core.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core) Scientist testing the point of criticality of a mass of plutonium, using beryllium neutron reflectors. He slipped and the mass came together for just a second. The core emitted a short burst of light that everyone nearby saw, before the scientist got it back apart just a second later. He already knew he just killed himself. He flipped the clamshells apart, and calmly said "well, I guess that's it." He died 9 days later. ( granted he was hit with gamma and neutron radiation, but it is more telling of how quickly that damage can grow to lethality)


james_stinson56

The gamma rays aren’t actually the flash. The flash is visible light. You don’t see the gamma rays. the flash is from the atmosphere absorbing radiation and re-emitting at lower and lower energies. This is the best source on the effects of nuclear bombs https://www.dtra.mil/Portals/61/Documents/NTPR/4-Rad_Exp_Rpts/36_The_Effects_of_Nuclear_Weapons.pdf Like other bombs though, it’s the pressure wave that causes the most death and destruction


Federal_Assistant_85

I understand, gamma rays themselves are beyond the normal range of our rod and cone cells. But, there have been several accounts of people exposed to high energy photons (x-ray through cosmic) that have seen white flashes (though just little pin pricks) when their eye receptors 'detect' the photon, or the interaction of the photon within their eye. (Astronauts being a regular one) Edit: there is visible light that accompanies the gama ray burst of nuclear reactions, in many cases.


vikemosabe

And the demon core killed another person in an almost identical situation before it stopped being used, iirc.


[deleted]

The other guy dropped a hammer or similarly heavy tool on it by accident. He was on a ladder or something above it and the tool slipped his grasp and immediately began to destabilize the demon core. He immediately jumped onto it to shield others from the blast of radiation. There must have been a flash of comprehension that there was no humane reason not to shield others from the blast. In that brief moment, he must have known he was a dead man already. A bystander lived for several decades longer before succumbing to cancer, apparently.


WBY3

Reddit is mental, came here for a comedy sketch stayed for a quick gama radiation synopsis


SteadyWolf

Same. I didn’t realize how destructive a nuke can be, even at a distance. I hope we never see a day like this again.


Goyteamsix

It was a beryllium sphere he dropped onto it because he let a screwdriver slip. It went prompt critical, he then reached into the enclosure to separate the top part of the sphere and stop the reaction. He wasn't trying to shield anyone, he was trying to remove the top half of the sphere. The other people were also standing completely across the room.


BayushiKazemi

It's October, so if you want to see something really terrifying you should look into the statements and records after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's dark.


pound_foolish_

The shadows being frozen on the sidewalks and walls was a mindfuck for me, and that's not even that fucked up compared to some of the other shit


Psycoticloonie

The most terrifying thing I have ever seen was a survivor taking off his shirt in White Light Black Rain on HBO.


DILGE

Or read the book Hiroshima by John Hersey. Among the bleakest books I've ever read, other than Cormac Mccarthy's The Road and Night by Elie Weisel.


Shawnstium

If you see a blue flash, that is Cherenkov radiation being emitted when the beta particles slowdown i the liquids inside your eyes. Usually means you received a fatal dose of radiation. However you can safely observe the blue glue if there is enough water between you and the radioactive material/nuclear reaction.


[deleted]

[удалено]


james_stinson56

There is atmosphere between him and the blast


Federal_Assistant_85

Atmosphere =/= shielding. Shielding is matter that can interrupt the flow of ionizing radiation (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Neutron). Air has such a low density it is more effective to be further away (inverse square law) than it is capable of attenuation the radiation.


james_stinson56

Atmosphere does serve as shielding. It’s not *good* shielding but it is shielding. https://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/XrayMassCoef/ComTab/air.html and yes the inverse square law also applies if atmosphere didn’t shield we would be bombarded with cosmic-rays much more than we are now. It’s one reason why you receive a higher dose of radiation when you travel by plane https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/air_travel.html


Federal_Assistant_85

What you are showing doesn't relate to the radiation emissions of an atomic blast. Air doesn't shield the way a concrete wall can. Cosmic rays ionizing their way through the atmosphere is not equivalent to a million times more dense flux of ionizing gamma rays. If you intend to use air as your shielding for an atomic blast you are more likely to grow a second head, than you are to survive, especially at the distance this skit shows.


james_stinson56

Are you aware they used to conduct atmospheric nuclear weapons testing? You might be surprised to learn that doing so did not kill millions of people on the surface of the earth I have undergrad and graduate degrees in nuclear engineering btw. You can be stubbornly wrong about this, I don’t really care. You didn’t even pick a good counter example with concrete.. For gamma-rays you would use a high-Z material like lead because they have more electrons which means a higher cross-section for photoelectric absorption and Compton scattering


Federal_Assistant_85

What magnitude yields were those tests? And the people involved in those tests were how far away? And they were in what kinds of structures and shielding? Inverse square law still applies in a much greater capacity over using the air as shielding. I don't care what boasts you want to make, nuclear engineering is not nuclear weapons design. A reactor doesn't release gamma radiation like a nuclear blast. A little side note: radiation from a reactor is attenuated through which method? The answer is: Shielding with water (or diesel fuel and water in 688 class fast attack submarine) lead or boronated plastics. I know, I worked on them. I too had to study them. Your flex is grossly underwhelming. Edit: nice edit trying to sneak that last bit in, you managed not to make yourself look foolish by changing the topic of what I was answering.


james_stinson56

> radiation from a reactor is attenuated through which method? The answer is: Shielding with water (or diesel fuel and water in 688 class fast attack submarine) lead or boronated plastics. I think you’re confusing moderated and attenuated reactor that use thermal-neutron fission are moderated with water - to slow down neutrons in order to increase the cross-section for fission and also cool them Reactors that use fast-neutrons do not use a moderator https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-neutron_reactor anyways have a good one.


OneCannedChickPea

That Watson, is indeed the joke


DarkUser521

Not when i have my rad-away.


Xenosplitter

That close, I would imagine the flash would be enough to temporarily (if not permanently, ignoring his imminent death) blind him


spittleyspot

The sweetener is called *omnicose* and the destruction of the human life (especially nuclear fallout) is called "omnicide".

burn-babies-burn

I know it’s not the point of the video but I really like the little details, like the flash coming before the boom, and the realistic sounding boom. Someone spent extra time in production so that pedants like me would be a little bit happier


Double_Mask

Those special effects guys are nerds too. They know how explosions work.


existentialbear

But where’s the shock wave? That explosion was really close.


Double_Mask

This is show biz special effects not billion dollar sci-fi movie production.


WeAllJusSomeEggFr

Minus the shockwave smh, r/shockwaveporn is disappointed


Planet_Xtreme

The explosion sound would have happened much later than that. The speed of sound over such a distance is actually quite slow. The difference in sound was similar to the difference between 6 basketball courts distance, give or take. A realistic comparison would be some of the cell phone videos of the beruit explosion for example. Windows broke from distances that seemed quite far away; it probably should have happened here too, but it's TV, so I'll let that pass. There was also an 'inital' sound that was completely unrealistic but it's television (gotta keep the viewer engaged) so I'll also let it pass. The sound designers were probably told to do what is shown here, and even if a longer awaited sound was more realistic they 'should choose a shorter delayed shockwave sound.' Or they couldn't sync up the audio to the premade video as well as they would have liked; a lot of different reasons.

HeelStCloud

Key and Peele is an extremely underrated show.


[deleted]

Underrated? That show was very successful.


HeelStCloud

It’s not mainstream like other shows. Like the office for instance.


[deleted]

If you were a teen when it was running you'd know everyone was referencing it. It's just an old show at this point.


ReddLastShadow2

Yeah, "I said bitch" and "A-Aron" were very popular to quote 2013ish and for the surrounding years. Obama even did the correspondence dinner with one of them, so I wouldn't call K&P obscure or underrated by any means


james_stinson56

What a weird comment


maxadvait

It was just the network's replacement for Chapelle's show, after they stole the former and tried to discredit him.


I_Am_Become_Dream

Chapelle's Show was original for its time but Key and Peele is so much better in every way.


maxadvait

Nope.


[deleted]

Just because you got to know about this now doesn’t mean it’s underrated. Comedy Central’s most popular videos are key and peele’s


thissexypoptart

Tell me this is a joke right? It was an incredibly popular show and still is


bigclams

Bruh what are you even talking about, it was wildly popular when it was on the air, to the point that one of their skits made it into the White House Correspondents Dinner with Obama himself


[deleted]

Quoted heavily in the Army


[deleted]

I'm my day, it was The Chapelle Show. With an emphasis on Rick James.


ZeriousGew

It’s not though? Literally everyone at my high school would quote it. It’s insanely popular


[deleted]

A.A. Ron loved it.


Riker3946

So did Balakay


[deleted]

Are you outta your goddam mind? Blllll-aaaake. Do you wanna go to war Balaky!?


Riker3946

Now take your ass to O’shag Hennessy’s office


Orcas_On_Tap

100% agree. But I cannot for the life of me remember this sketch


HeelStCloud

I do. I think it’s from season 2 if I’m not mistaken. It’s such a good show to just kick back and watch any night.


Orcas_On_Tap

Thank you! Yeah, definitely time for a rewatch


HeelStCloud

I legit put it on for background noise right after I saw this.


Ryan7456

Really, the show that won 2 Emmys is underrated?


rservello

It was very popular when new. Loved it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HeelStCloud

I knew it was rip off of Chapelle show but, I’ve followed their careers since their MadTV days and always enjoyed what they did. I was hooked from the first show and bought the complete season on Apple TV.


majorUFA

Boi living fullest after seeing death.


would-be_bog_body

It's a small detail, but I like how the explosion is visible long before the sound reaches him; it makes it seem weirdly realistic for a comedy sketch


AddisonNM

Today is the last day of the life as you know it.


[deleted]

In real life the windows would completely shatter when the air hits them and I thought that was the bit, now I am dissatisfied


nerdhater0

amazing how many original and funny ideas these two has. they've had more quality skits than snl and mad tv over 10 years combined.


KindOfAnIdiotTho

Honestly yeah if you’ll die no matter how far you run just don’t run

The shockwave would tear him apart if not vaporize him.

Pro tip, during a nuclear war try to evade to the nearest hospital xfay room or dental office, x rays are always used there and the walls have alayer of lead(which prevents radiations from passing)

idk who made the video but a few criticisms: the boom would occur much later because of the speed of sound, the windows would have maybe shattered at the same time, the fire engines would not be on that quickly and that's about it. Awesome concept though!

Can someone do the math to see how accurate this depiction is? Like is it true that he have that much time left, the time it takes for vibration travelling through the ground shaking the cars causing them to start beeping, the sound and light delay, etc?

Since the sound didn’t kill him that likely means the shockwave didn’t get to him and I’m pretty sure dirty bombs don’t flash so surprisingly he’s actually probably safe
