Remember six feet for covid, Nine for Nuclear.
Everything’s getting so complicated these days, they even added a fourth step: Stop, drop, Atoll, Atone.
You wouldn’t suffer any long term effects from the blast at that distance.
You either want to be close enough for instant death or far enough to be mostly unaffected. The middle ground where you die slowly from cancer or get crushed by debris or something would suck
The burns and your body turning into soup from radiation is the real terrible part.
Well, getting instantly vaporized is safer than getting hit by debris or getting all types of cancer at once.
If you’re vaporized, bits of you have no chance of hurting anyone else like they could if you were hit by debris and simply exploded into chunks.
Call me selfish, but I’m worrying more about what’s safe for me.
Also, If I’m at a distance where I’m exploded into chunks, then the people who could be hurt by those chunks are likely to not be doing so great themselves either.
you have to stay 9 feet away as the shockwave expands. That’s the trick
The shockwave will help keep you safe by moving you another 500 away from the epicenter.
Would that actual save you? Because, I thought the radiation also kills peoples far outside of the shockwave range…
Yeah you also cant outrun the shockwave but assumimg you were 9ft outside of the shockwave at all times (traveling outwards at the speed of the shockwave), you would still die, correct?
