Although the chances now are not as likely, all it takes is one modern-day bomb to create a scenario like that anywhere in the world. And 13 years after the explosions, life looks as dysmal as ever.
Highly recommended for post-Apoc fans!

Its funny but the city buster bombs that were being created in the 60's and 70's and 80's to make up for accuracy issues are a thing of the past, ICBM's carrying massive bombs aren't as prevalent.
Most of the bombs are lighter and smaller and far more precise.
They're also cleaner in terms of fallout then the bombs that our generation grew up with.
It used to be that the race was to develop the biggest war head. Now the race is to develop a bomb that can hit precisely and take out infrasturture.
The really big warheads now are reserved for upper atomosphere detonations.
