if the world were suddenly engulfed in all out nuclear attack by countries with capability , where is a safe?

Question

place to be?....or is there any place safe?

i should have made myself a little clearer, in which corner of the world would a person be the safest?...

Answer 1

With the radioactivity, you might try the moon. A Global nuclear war would produce such catastrophic results that between the dust, smoke and radioactivity all parts of the world would be affected and by geophysics, the northern hemisphere would be the first area to die off, followed within weeks by the southern hemisphere. People do not understand the dangers of plutonium and exposure can result in death within a day. The seas would become contaminated quickly and thus marine life would die en masse, bovine animals would die from eating grasses contaminated with radioactive selenium....if they survived the temperatures...the center of a nuclear blast generates up to one million or more degrees and cause cataclysmic weather.

Answer 2

Well, thanks to fallout, nuclear winter, famine, disease and lawlessness that would follow, there is no safe place. The only place I can think of, apart from places like Greenland or Baffin Island, South Georgia (the island, not the state), what about Africa? Most of the population outside the urban centres are already living in a self-reliant way without the benefit of sophisticated infrastructure.

Certainly any place away from urban centres, military and strategic installations.

Answer 3

There are some remote islands, which no one is interested in, which do not have any significant military bases, such as the Cook Islands in the South Pacific or St Helena in the South Atlantic or Mauritius or Reunion in the Indian Ocean. Also there are many coutries who no country would be interested in bombing like Paraguay, Gambia or Sao Tome&Principe.
The question is, what do you want to do in that kind of a place?

Answer 4

There will be no safe place. Even if you escape the blasts and escape the fallout, nuclear winter from the debris kicked into the air would mean an end to life planetwide.

Answer 5

There is not safe place if the states with nuclear hardware suddently go to war with each other. The spread will flow into other continent. The answer is for destruction of all nuclear capabilty in the world.

Answer 6

No place to be. Remember nuclear weapons are developed to wipe life out. Not to blow up few people and leave debris. It is built to wipe out cities and countries populations millions, that is why it is called a weapon of mass destruction, and this weapon engulfing the the world, there will be no place. You will be lucky enough to survive but still badly burn and die few days latter from radiation. People still suffer from what an atomic bomb did in Japan, as we speak people die of that results. Imagine that same weapon 250X more powerful.

Answer 7

I don't think there would be a safe place. Just stick your head between your legs and kiss your --- good-bye.

The only safe place I can think of would be the random places between where the bombs fell and nobody would be able to know ahead of time where they would randomly fall. It would be like trying to walk between the raindrops to avoid getting wet. Good luck!

Answer 8

Probably a good place to be is the place of knowing you are ready to meet your Maker.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you. ~Ps 42:5-6

Answer 9

in a nuclear shelter, for a limited duration. after that the safest place would be the cemetery (of course, you have to die first)

Answer 10

I guess you could go pull a Kevin Kosner and go play Water World on a boat....
