Grim map shows complete and utter devastation of a nuclear attack on the US
More than 300 million people would die from radiation if a hostile nation decided to take out the United States’ nuclear arsenal – including those living in Canada and Mexico.
The casualties would include up to two million people dying from acute radiation poisoning around the country’s nuclear weapons silos, many of whom do not realise they’re at risk.
Five of 50 states are currently home to the nation’s 450 missile launch facilities – Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana and North Dakota. At those sites,‘Minutemen’ intercontinental ballistic missiles are kept underground on continuous launch alert, a pointed deterrent to nuclear attack by a foreign enemy.
This means if a nation were to attack one of the silos, it would have to attack them all, otherwise retaliation would be swift and catastrophic.
