Red Cross Shows A City Getting Nuked With An Animated Video

Business Insider: An animated video from the Red Cross shows a city getting nuked, and it's a terrifying look at what happens when the government can't save you

* A video from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) shows what would happen if a nuclear bomb struck a major city.
* The video predicts that trees would "snap like toothpicks," people would be "tossed around like a grain of dust," and houses would "collapse like they're made of cards."
* The ICRC expects that there would be no help for hours — perhaps days — after an explosion, since electricity would be cut and medical professionals could be wounded or killed.

"One moment you're on your way to work. The next moment, you're on fire."
