Thread: ICBM alert in Hawaii, what would you do?

This video is pretty much what happens in a nuclear event.

The Day After (1983) - Classic Movie Channel - YouTube

Grab the Mrs or someone else's Mrs and go out with a bang

Guess the 2nd option would have consequences in a situation like this one where it was a false alarm.

Cheers Ean

Quickly nail up my Council approved 'Nuclear Free Zone' sign

The list is endless.

No, to all of the above. The missiles are fast, there would not be time, how would I choose which family to call? There are far too many of them to call them all, and the lines would be useless anyway. My family know that I love them. I reckon calling them to say goodbye would be selfish and pointless. I'd rather that they remembered me from a happier place.

My wife is dying as we speak. Do I regret the times I didn't tell her I love her? Do I regret the times we fought or didn't speak? Do I regret all the time I spent away trying to earn a living? GOD YES.

Do I regret the times I spent with other women? No, because I never have.

I have often debated the choices I have made, but I don't any longer. Why look back at things I cannot change? Where is the sense in that? I try to do better going forward. I don't know if it's working, but it is all that is possible.

As for meeting my end: if I can do it half as well as Jan is I'll be OK with it. It is inevitable, so fear is pointless. If it comes as a missile I can't escape then I would hope I would cope.

I am 64. I have not seen what you have seen, Bob, but I've seen enough. I reckon I would make it OK.

I thought you would have known that when I'm on my own is the only time I would wear it.

Well said. Kudos to you.

I'd certainly be telling some people I love them.

After that I'd probably go watch the dumb rednecks trying to shoot it down with rifles.

I thought that was the purpose of rednecks.
