I've dreamt of dying in a nuclear blast several times. Must be one of the most utterly horrific things to experience, whether you're killed by it or are far enough away to survive but still witness the mushroom cloud. I remember reading a book in middle school documenting (perhaps fictionally) what various residents of Hiroshima were doing moments before the bomb was dropped. Really puts into perspective the suddenness and unpredictability of it - one moment you're going about your life, working your job, taking care of your family etc, the next moment everything's gone.

This short animated film I think captures the horror and suddenness of it very well:

Jon Bois also made a video about the time there was nearly a third nuclear strike, that has sadly been taken down.

I'm dying to watch it but it might be gone forever :(
