New York City government officials have released a video telling citizens how to survive a nuclear attack . The new public service announcement (PSA) warns New Yorkers - in the event of a blast - to get indoors, stay there, go to a basement or move into the middle of the building and wash off any radioactive dust or ash.
The 90-second video, released this week by the US city’s emergency management agency, opens with shots of a computer-generated New York street that is deserted - with sirens wailing in the distance. Damaged buildings and skyscrapers are shown in the background.
The presenter of the video then says: “So there’s been a nuclear attack. Don’t ask me how or why. Just know that the big one has hit.”
