Hi all,
Apologies if this isn't the right forum for this question but I need some help.
I'm writing a feature on whether certain videogame scenarios are realistic or not and I specifically need help with a famous scene taken from Call Of Duty 4:
Here, you see a helicopter that gets caught in a nuclear blast with the pilot then crawling out of the wreckage and dying shortly afterwards. Due to my own ignorance of the subject and that events are naturally exaggerated for the sake of a videogame, I honestly have no idea how realistic this scenario is.
So my questions are as follows:
1) Would the radiation from a nuclear blast kill that quickly when that close or would the pilot have died from injuries in the crash?
2) Is there any way anyone within that range of a nuclear blast can even survive the initial force?
3) What would the immediate effects of radiation be on someone that close to the blast?
Apologies again if this isn't the right forum for asking such a question but I'm completely stuck!
Thanks once again!
