Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The capital wasteland has an anomalous number of standing buildings and monuments. It is unlikely that it took many hits from nuclear devices. Fallout New Vegas showed that anti-missile systems did exist. So it is highly likely that the US capital would have similar defenses (in Real Life the only city with its own missile defense is Moscow, but Fallout world isn't real world). One of the proposed missile defenses in real life was actually a Surface to Air nuclear missile. This would account for reports of nuclear explosions and the high amounts of radioactive material. Even if this were not the case Washington DC is likely to have been an extremely high priority target for the Chinese. They would likely have used both missiles and bombers. The sheer number of nuclear weapons deployed against the capital would result in severe irradiation from successfully destroyed nuclear weapons alone. A handful of nukes might have even made it past the defenses and done some relatively minor damage. |
