In an unstable world, it is more important than ever to ensure nuclear weapons are never used. FMTNews FMTLifestyle

Nuclear weapons are the most powerful weapons humankind has constructed, and the most destructive.

Imagine a normal day in Kuala Lumpur. People are just living their lives. Markets and shopping malls are bustling, restaurants packed with hungry customers, students studying hard and office workers making their way through rush hour traffic. The blast is followed by a powerful shockwave that spreads throughout the capital. It is faster than sound, stronger than a typhoon and flattens anything in its path.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people need urgent and immediate medical attention and many will die before help arrives, if it arrives. Escape to safety is difficult with roads blocked by debris. Hospitals can offer no refuge, they have been destroyed too, with medical personnel injured or killed.

Those who survive the attack will have to fend for themselves. There will be no help because the infrastructure would have collapsed. Ambulances will not be able to get through blocked roads, trains will not be able to travel on melted tracks, and aeroplanes will need clear runways.
