Electro Magnetic Pulse – Top 5 Dangerous Places to Be When An EMP Takes Place

Commercial jets will fall from the sky across North America. Nuclear power plants will go off-line. Hospitals will become death traps. Battles over food will be fought in the streets. And that’s just day one. Welcome to the EMP nightmare.

Commercial Airplane

If you’re in a jumbo jet and you’re going down with a few hundred other people and the jet has no on board maneuvering capabilities, that seems to say that the jet will be at the mercy of wherever it happens to be and what elevation it happens to be at when it comes down out of the sky — flights that make emergency landings on to land are said to statistically fair a lot better than flights that come down in the water.

The only problem with these emergency landings will be that if it’s at night, there won’t be any lights on the ground to signify cities vs rural country side; nor will there be lights on the ground to signify local airstrips.

If the EMP happens during daylight, at least the pilots have a chance of eyeing what’s on the ground as they come down. If the control yoke is useless for steering, I’m not sure what chance at all they have of the jet being directed toward a relatively flat area to land. If this thing comes down on anything other than concrete, most likely everything on the bottom of the plane — landing gears, wheels — are going to be torn off as the plane sinks into the soil. Will the force of that kind of impact cause the plane to break up?

Left to chance, my guess is that the majority of those 4,000 approximate flights in the sky when an EMP takes place are going to end in disasters. A few are likely to make it out ok though.

Trapped in an Elevator — Complete Darkness

An elevator is one of the last places I’m sure most people would want to be when an EMP takes place — especially an elevator in a tall skyscraper in a large city experiencing a terrorist attack. You might get left in there for a few days.

The chances of being trapped in an elevator increase if you work in a downtown skyscraper or other building and regularly take elevators; you need to consider that if the EMP occurs while you’re in that elevator, you’re going to be stuck, for hours and possibly days; you might want to learn in advance what it takes to get out of an elevator when the power goes down for good.

First tip: Talk to your building management — make sure they have a plan for immediately rescuing people from stuck elevators in the event of a blackout. They need to be concerned about the well-being of people who may be trapped inside. Keep in mind that they won’t be able to simply call a maintenance man to come to the building to rescue tenants trapped inside. If that building’s maintenance man lives 20 miles away and his car doesn’t work, how is he going to get to the building?
