YouTube BBC Nuclear Attack Video (Fake)

Post by Rory Noonan »

Came across this today, it's actually quite well done (although the voices are a little off and things unfold very quickly, still enough gravitas of the situation to suspend belief). The interesting stuff starts around 10:00

When I was watching this I imagined that this is what it would look like if Old Grudges Never Die got a bit out of hand.

I pranked my partner with it. It wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be. Nuclear war is scary.
