Irwin Redlener: How to survive a nuclear attack
I came across this video on TED.com. It’s a talk by Dr Irwin Redlener on the ever present possibility of nuclear attack. When I was a kid I remember hearing a lot about the threat of nuclear war and what we needed to to survive. Ironically back during the cold war surviving a nuclear war was probably impossible. Today the threat of nuclear terrorism has increased and the threat of nuclear war has decreased, which, even more ironically, may be a good thing because we have a very good chance of surviving nuclear terrorism because the attack would be isolated and relatively small. Redliner also has a book on the topic: Americans at Risk: Why We Are Not Prepared for Megadisasters and What We Can Do
