Oh my God. It seems like this situation is becoming more real. That's terrifying. That's 28% dead, 57% casualties. Do you think if there are more attempted terrorist attacks, people will start freaking out again and building bomb shelters again and stuff?

The bomb is already scary but when you add facts and name a real place it seem even more so. It is scary o think that this could possibly happen someday

Let's hope it NEVER happens one day.

Rimma,

I don't think people will start building bomb shelters like they did at the height of the Cold War. Unlike the threat of nuclear war from the Soviets, terrorists could detonate fissionable material anywhere at any time.

That brings up the possibility of a dirty bomb.

My interview with Hochi Kurisu for my oral history project left me with a respectful and sober sense of the horrors of a nuclear event. It must never happen.
