1. Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis. Patients feature an abnormal, red-brown macules on the face, neck, and body. Some cases feature lesions limited to only one extremity. Unfortunately, no serious treatment for EV has been found. Treatments have been suggested, though excisions tends to be the best option available. Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis, also known as tree man illness, is extremely rare and genetic. http://buzzwize.com/67-astonishing-human-conditions/

Every minute now in this world is all about killing one another to survive, giving tears to others to smile and giving pains. It shows the earth has expired, the world is really coming to an end. Really need a "Factory Reset." |
SkinnyDude:Pearl Harbor. |
Congrats bro, its ur turn to shine. God bless you. |
aolumaxi:There's something about North korea/Asian military, they fight to death, they don't retreat no matter how strong the force. North korea will have allies too(US have lots of enemies). Any strike between US/North Korea will trigger WWIII. |
Bomb away/Testing: The Massive Ordnance Penetrator is six times the weight of previous 'bunker-busting' weapons(30,000lbs) and can blast through 200 feet of concrete. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2179925/Pentagons-30-000lb-bomb-ready-destroy-deep-bunkers-housing-nuclear-weapons.html

The Pentagon announced that the biggest conventional bomb ever made is ready to be deployed after spending $330 million developing the weapon. The bomb is designed to destroy underground targets and can blast through up to 200 feet of concrete
|
aolumaxi:Yes, for how long? Then another thing is, most of these bunkers are not deep. There are warheads that can penetrate and destroy up to 200ft of concrete. |
After the nuclear war, do you know how many months, year its going to take the survivors before they can come out of the their various bunkers(radiation/contamination of the atmosphere) ![]() Take for instance its going to take a year or more, how would they survive in the bunker for a year or more ![]() Feeding, water, power supply, medics, and so on ![]() cc: longjohnsilver, ximonak |
aolumaxi:Won't be that easy. |
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (pictured) threatened 'a merciless sacred war of justice' if North Korea suffered the slightest provocation from its several enemies. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3387451/Roads-shake-children-s-playground-splits-open-footage-tremors-China-caused-North-Korea-s-hydrogen-bomb-test.html

Nuclear test, 1945-1996.

In over 2000+ nuclear test detonations, only one has an unknown nationality. No nation has taken credit for detonation of a 3 kiloton bomb in the Indian Ocean in 1979.

Nuclear weapons have two basic parts: the warhead or bomb, and the delivery system. The United States has bombs that can be delivered by aircraft and warheads that are deployed on air-launched cruise missiles and land-based and submarine-based long-range missiles.

Hiroshima bombing 1945: Enola Gay, the carrier of "little boy", piloted by Tibbets, took off from North Field, in the Mariana Islands. The plane flew for 6hrs, accompanied by two other B-29s before reaching the target(Hiroshima, Japan). The aircraft, Enola Gay arrived over the target in clear visibility at 9,855 meters (32,333 ft). Captain William S. who was in command of the mission, armed the bomb during the flight to minimize the risks during takeoff. His assistant, Second Lieutenant Morris R. Jeppson, removed the safety devices 30 minutes before reaching the target area. The release at 08:15 (Hiroshima time) went as planned, and the Little Boy took 43 seconds to fall from the aircraft flying at 31,060 feet (9,470 m) to the predetermined detonation height about 1,968 feet (600 m) above the city. Enola Gay traveled 11.5 mi (18.5 km) before it felt the shock waves from the blast. But today, nuclear missiles that are over 100x more powerful than "Little boy and Fat man" combined can be fired/launched from anywhere to anywhere around the world.

The only way the armed forces have of knowing if a nuclear attack is in progress is through an electronic early warning system. When the electronic warning system signals that a nuclear attack is in progress the military chiefs of staff have a matter of minutes to decide if the warning is true or false. If the chiefs of staff instruct the Prime Minister/President that an attack is in progress he has a matter of minutes to decide if this information is reliable and to press the button launching a retaliatory strike.

longjohnsilver:Lol...Stones and sticks, ive heard that before. But do you think there wil be survivors if US, Russia, North Korea, and Some Arab nations should launch their nuclear warheads? I learnt that apart from the instant blast of just one of these weapons, it's radiation will kill millions in weeks, natural disasters like earthquake, tsunami will also be triggered. Don't forget these powerful Nations are just exposing the tip of the iceberg to the world when it comes to weapons advancement, most especially the US. So i believe the weapons they have in their possession are deadlier than we think. |
herald9:After the movie. |
Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki referred to the pain and suffering as ‘indescribable’ and ‘hell on earth’. Eventually some survivors of Hiroshima arrived in hospital elsewhere. Such was their degree of suffering that when a nurse entered the ward they screamed for her to kill them. http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/09/nuclear-weapons-20-facts-they-don%E2%80%99t-want-you-to-think-about/

A nuclear war would cause a blanket of particles in the atmosphere that would blot out the sun’s rays and result in the death of the vegetation on which life depends. This would be in addition to the death of people, animals, and plants caused by the explosive power, the radiation and the shockwaves.

The nuclear weapons on a single Trident submarine can destroy over 40 million people. UK has 4, US has 14.
|
The missiles delivering nuclear weapons to their target travel at faster than 1000 miles in 4 minutes.

The United States’ largest nuclear bomb has the combined detonation power of 200 million pounds of high explosives.

Testing a Hydrogen Bomb in Space. In 1962, having given up on trying to blow up the moon, American scientists wanted to see what would happen if a nuclear bomb was exploded in space. In an operation codenamed Operation Starfish Prime, a powerful hydrogen bomb was launched in the nose of a Thor rocket to detonate some 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean. The test wasn’t without its controversy and brought forth protests across the globe. However, yhe Honolulu Advertiser was rather more upbeat with its cheerful headline “Nuclear Blast Tonight May be Dazzling; Good View Likely.” The device detonated in space at 11pm Honolulu time, on July 9th. Once again the explosion turned out to be more powerful than had been expected. The night sky was lit up by the blast and glowed in blue, red and green. An electromagnetic pulse knocked out electrical services up to 1500 kilometres away, disrupted telephone service, set off burglar alarms, and damaged satellites.

The first atomic bomb detonation at the Trinity site in New Mexico caused the sand in the surrounding area to turn to glass from the heat, creating a new mineral called “Trinitite”, named after the site of the explosion.
|
A single US stealth bomber can carry 16 B83 nuclear bombs. Each of those bombs can produce 75 times the yield of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Nuclear War may be Inevitable. So far we have been lucky. Despite several close calls and some careless blunders, only two of the thousands of nuclear weapons which have been constructed have ever been used in anger. However, we shouldn’t kid ourselves that the end of the Cold War has made the threat of nuclear war an irrelevance. In many ways, things are more dangerous than ever. There are two nuclear powers in India and Pakistan who refuse to play nicely with each other, a newly armed and unpredictable North Korean regime, and a belligerent Russia keen to reassert its power. According to some analysts, a nuclear war be inevitable. Even if the risk is only 0.5% per year that would mean a 5%chance of a nuclear war every decade. Given enough time even a small possibility becomes a certainty. The only way to prevent it would be worldwide disarmament, something which is very hard to foresee happening any time soon. One Stanford University Professor, Martin Hellman, predicts that any child born today runs a ten percent chance of being killed in a nuclear war. We can only hope we continue to be lucky.

The Bombs of Today are Way More Powerful than those used in World War II. The bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrifying weapons which brought terrible destruction to the people of Japan. However, they were little more than ambitious fireworks compared to the devices which are available to the nuclear powers of the world today. The yield of a nuclear device is measured in kilotons or megatons. Little Boy, the bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima, was a 16 kiloton weapon, which means it exploded with the force of 16 thousand tonnes of high explosives. Nowadays, weapons like that are considered to be tactical nuclear weapons designed for use against armies on the battlefield. Strategic nuclear weapons, which are the type which will start hitting us in the face if a full-scale nuclear war ever breaks out, are measured in millions of tonnes of high explosive. In other words, they have an explosive yield of a thousand or more times greater than the bombs used against Japan in World War II.
