Fun fact: using unaltered EAS broadcast alarm sound is illegal in the US, for obvious reasons. But in other countries, that have different emergency activation signal, it's not. So, someone out there can make a video like this one using actual genuine USA EAS activation signal. And with some incompetence involved, it may cause quite a ruckus. See, for example, "those times EAS messed up" by nimk.

My grandfather was a Civil Defence warden here in the UK in the 1960's, in a rural village about 10 miles from a nuclear submarine base that would have been allocated at least 3 megaton-class weapons by the soviets. Warnings were by a hand-cranked siren (electric in towns and cities) or pyrotechnic maroons, including fallout and chemical attack warning, plus all-clear advisories. The cold war era siren at the submarine base is still used for radiological incident warning and is tested every monday - it caused a few issues when it accidentally got set off at another time, several locals downed their potassium iodide tablets, but most just ignored it!

I'm so glad KZread finally put something in my feed that I actually want to watch 👍 new subscriber, as a Floridian I'm used to hearing the EAS on average once a year, also I'm old enough to still call it the EBS that started a year before I was born lol

Welcome aboard!

Since you are reacting to EAS videos now, you could perhaps react to more of them. But also, there's a German mockumentary on KZread called Der Dritte Weltkrieg, which you can find and English version of, perhaps you could react to that one too, it presents a similar nuclear war scenario, but during the end of the Cold War. It even includes a few fictional interviews of the events leading up to the war.

What I was about to say is that they definitely wouldn't include "will most certainly kill you" in an emergency alert. That would cause even more chaos than there already would have been.

A few years ago, there was a local EAS monologue over the radio. It was a horrible thunderstorm, the roads were a bit flooded, and there was a tornado warning. I remember laughing though, because the man on the radio said, "If you don't get indoors, you will DIE!"

Reminds me of the Emergency Alert we got a couple years ago. "Gotham City MO Purple/Green 1978 Dodge 3700GT MO UKIDME" - It was supposed to be a test of the Blue Alert system but they accidentally sent it as a real alert...about the Jokermobile.

The major thing that's unrealistic and repetitive is the SAME header codes being "transmitted" repeatedly as they only have to go out only once.

I don't think they would wait until after sending interception to announce this. I think it would be announced as early as possible instead of "oh shoot we missed 8 of them, okay let the people know now." But maybe, it's not like they really care all that much about their people...

During one such report, a knock was heard at the door and some uniformed gentlemen entered and they went to commercial break. Suffice it to say, subsequent reporting didn't contain bomb damage assessment and guidance correction information, but did have the reporter's eyes looking offscreen to one specific spot to see if he could report some items...

Well, for ICBM's, they'd get around a half hour warning, as we monitor their ICBM sites and would see the launch flare, then detect missiles going suborbital. SLBM's, you're really kind of screwed, as we're talking 5 - 15 minutes warning - all to the Pentagon, who have to then warn the POTUS wherever he is, get authorization for activating the EAS, figure out what to tell the populace beyond "you're fucked", initiate war plans and alert recovery agencies and well, a shit ton of other steps before an EAS broadcast alert will be sent. More realistically is around a 5 minute warning for ICBM's and a warning after SLBM detonation. This scenario makes about as much sense as the conspiracy theories that governments want to get rid of taxpayers and workers, because economies work better without customers and workers or something. Only major population centers attacked, leaving nuclear bases intact to reply in kind. Amateur night at the opera, cheaper to go to a karaoke bar. At least you can get drunk there to better withstand the noise assault...

@@Sparticulous most people have electricity or service, as is evidenced by the comments here. EAS would be activated on warning, not after the fact, just as is done with tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires. The only part of civil defense that was fully phased out was the antiquated shelter system that was already obsolete by the time the original EBS was fully implemented and automated and the plans for evacuating cities was also shelved due to the higher fatality rate than sheltering in place would bring. And despite complaints about its lack of resiliency, our power grid is still fairly resilient - we literally took over a dozen EMP events from geomagnetic storms just yesterday. Storms powerful enough to push the aurora down to Pennsylvania, where I can't see it due to cloud cover. :/

It is actually mildly annoying how many inaccuracies are in this alert LOL. Besides the grammatical and storyline errors, you would never hear the SAME headers and the attention tone that many times in the same broadcast. You would only hear the SAME headers three times in the beginning, followed by the attention tone once. Maybe the attention tone would sound again if there was a major update, but that's about it. The SAME headers would only be heard again if a new broadcast was interrupting the ongoing one.

I've heard broadcasts where SAME headers blasted to interrupt an ongoing warning when a tornado watch turned into a warning a few times. They precede the major update with the tones to reactivate radios that automute after so many minutes or are manually silenced if there's a major update.

I have been under a do not evacuate advisory before - hurricanes and flooding trigger it.

I find it hard to believe that DC wouldn’t be a target (first strike. There, everybody happy?). But, I also find it hard to believe that we’d really know where they’re heading to begin with. The Russians gonna phone us up when they launch? If we could detect and track em that far ahead, they’d be able to be intercepted.

just an fyi, theres a bunch of videos like these. even non nuclear attack related ones. you should check them out if you can

seriously non realistic scenario: - missiles shot down at the start (how and with what?) - missiles and not expected warheads (almost every missiles would have multiple warheads) - extremely small number of missiles, mainland population centers (cities) would be targeted at the end state of the escalation, if at all, when all or most missiles would be launched. - the nuclear escalation should be in place for quite some time, so no casual tv program would be in place, but effectively doomsday state and world war, waiting to escalate to full nuclear war.

Now I'm thinking about what pose I'd want my outline to be in, if I knew for sure I was going to get vaporized in one of the blasts.

Well, you'd be the first human in history to be vaporized. The shadow figures from the atomic attacks on Japan still had bodies, the woman on the steps in Hiroshima's body was present after the blast, a Japanese military officer carried her remains away and buried her himself.

The way ICBM's with MIRV's are set up: they drop three 500kT to 1MT IRV's(they look like 5' X 18" cones) on three corners of the city just above the ground. Along with these there will be 12 balloons chaff and other counter measures so each ICBM doesn't make three targets on radar but closer to 20. Your counter measures don't have time or ability to figure out the dummies so all 20 have to be destroyed. The three real IRV's will air burst at the corners of a city, forming a "mach stem" which is like a double shock wave over the ground that then will converge again with the other two warheads and will all converge to totally destroy the city. This is much worse then say a big 10MT dropped at the center. These weapons are inhumane, insidious, and TOO BIG for a planet of this size. Also the fall out will be very bad for the first 6 hours depending on wind and if fall out rain is formed. For the first week, you will want to stay inside until the Iodine-131 decays down. Iodine will form water souble salts that will get in the food and water. And if you survived all this you will envy the dead.

More of a wishful thinking. Soviet ICBMs were plus minus 100km. It's not very realistic that they could chose specific parts of a city. Would be lucky if one of them hit somewhere near city. That's why you have 80 warheads aimed at London. Also, the aluminum balloons don't matter much as the terminal guidance for the kinetic kill vehicles is optical. This is a similar issue with Russian jets and counter measures, things like flares and chaff don't really work against optical guidance, there either is visible airplane or inst. Even before this stingers had UV filters on their seekers allowing to discriminate flares from jet engines

I've seen a mock of what a real alert would look like, it's quite tame.

Do you know about/have seen some Sprint Missile footage? When I treat myself to some nuclear weapons footage, I usually mix in some Sprint Missile footage, cause just watching those things launch is allmost as impressive as the nuke its carrying/intercepting ;D

It's a weird CEP guess by the folks that produced the video. The actual warhead impact point can't be precisely determined in advance, as MIRV warheads are released with countermeasures devices to mask their approach - basically looking like hundreds to thousands of warheads coming in all along the approximate path of the incoming warhead - while the warhead MIRV itself is randomly changing course to avoid interception. That said, we'd know if say, Philadelphia was targeted fairly early on, as the laws of physics give way for no man, but we'd be uncertain if say the Navy Yard is the target or the old DPSC center was targeted, which are only a few miles apart and decidedly not 300 miles away. You know, rectally procured numbers.

Hiya Dr Folse, I would be immensely grateful if you would react to "Edge of Darkness" a highly acclaimed British drama from 1985. It is about a conspiracy regarding secret plutonium production and radioactivity is relevant throughout the plot, but particularly at the end. It was also remade as a movie in 2010, starring Mel Gibson, but the story was very compressed there, IMO. Thank you if you have taken the time to read my comment. I enjoy your videos immensely, please keep up the good work! All the very best, Debbie

88.0MHz and 108.0MHz aren't valid FM broadcast frequencies, FM radio receivers won't tune those frequencies. FM broadcast channels are on 200kHz increments with a 100kHz offset (i.e. 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, etc). Also "mHz" is an incorrectly capitalized abbreviation, that would be millihertz rather than megahertz (MHz).

Sweet, none of the 8 made it to me. And yeah, they wouldn't announce it. Granted, the attacker probably already knows, but they wouldn't let out vital defense information like that. Nor would they say how many in general. The most they might say is "multiple." You start throwing out numbers, people start panicking. I also don't think they would announce locations. I get the idea that you would *possibly* limit panic in unaffected areas, but nobody anywhere would see this and say "guess I'll just stay put and wait for it to blow over." It would cause massive chaos, everywhere.

We actually have a good idea of what the message would be from the January 2018 incident where a Missile alert was broadcasted for Hawaii.

The Sarmat 2 ICBM could carry a modernized Tsar Bomba type device, but it would be a waste of a nuke unless you used it solely as an EMP generator. To optimize its use a smaller nuke would be used to preionize the atmosphere then the tsar Bomba strength device would be used. The tandem hit would cover most of the north american continent with a multiple MV per meter pulse. Most likely they would just use direct hits with multiple and much smaller devices though. The absolute worst imaginable hit would be a smuggled low Mt device on a barge buried in lithium cobalt oxide battery material. That would create large quantities of radioactive cobalt that would completely poison the water and rain down extremely potent fallout.💀💀💀

Jacksonville has one of the larger US Naval bases. That's why it's a target.

React to more eas scenarios

*Jimmy Carter, Farewell Address, 1981* "It's now been 35 years since the first atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima. The great majority of the world's people cannot remember a time when the nuclear shadow did not hang over the Earth. Our minds have adjusted to it, as after a time our eyes adjust to the dark. Yet the risk of a nuclear conflagration has not lessened. It has not happened yet, thank God, but that can give us little comfort, for it only has to happen once. The danger is becoming greater. As the arsenals of the superpowers grow in size and sophistication and as other governments, perhaps even in the future dozens of governments, acquire these weapons, it may only be a matter of time before madness, desperation, greed, or miscalculation lets loose this terrible force. In an all-out nuclear war, more destructive power than in all of World War II would be unleashed every second during the long afternoon it would take for all the missiles and bombs to fall. A World War II every second-more people killed in the first few hours than in all the wars of history put together. The survivors, if any, would live in despair amid the poisoned ruins of a civilization that had committed suicide."

Granted recent events are cause to question Russia's military leader's intelligence, but even so I'd expect at least a little better attack than this. I think they would prioritize hitting our missile silos, and deafening and blinding us to additional attacks so NORAD gone for example. Then military bases, DC, military industrial and other large factories. Then start wiping out the population in general. Pretty much everything they have would be launched in about the 15 minutes it would take for us to start trying to do the same to them. I'd kind of expect attempts to use EMP against GPS and similar satellites in space. Something working in a favor is corrupt military commanders have probably taken many missiles to the local chop shops and auctioned stuff off on E-Bay🙂 Seeing Russian weapons at work though, I guess maybe they do lack the ability to target accurately so maybe they would just go for cities bigger than the broadside of a barn.
