How to Survive a Nuclear Blast

Can you survive a nuclear explosion? The truth? Yes. But only if you

understand what you're facing. When a nuclear bomb detonates, it doesn't give

you time. It gives you seconds, a blinding flash, then a shockwave faster than sound,

strong enough to shatter bones and level entire cities. If you're within the blast radius,

there is no survival. But if you're farther out, even just a few kilometers,

your life may depend on what you do in the next ten seconds. Don't look at the flash.

It can blind you instantly. Drop flat, cover your head, mouth open.

It sounds simple, but it could buy you your first few breaths. Then comes the fallout.
