I have a man-hole right in front of my home in the middle of the street; another is in my alley 300 feet due east.  Yet another is half-a-block away due north.  Those that are for the storm sewers are quite big with large tubes and quite substantial chambers (where rain water from heavy storms can pool); the ones for sanitation are narrower, but still accessible; most of the water in there is bath water (washing machines, dish washers, bathing), and so, they are not too gross.

I would not stay down there too long.  If one survives the initial blast wave, trying to leave the area (no doubt on foot) is going to be incredibly difficult, perhaps even impossible, if only to avoid the firestorm and subsequent radioactive fallout.

Maybe there is simply no solution to this problem.  I didn't make the video; I'm just commenting on it.  Based upon the comments that have been made here, I would say that few, if any, human beings in major metropolitan cities that are attacked will survive -- those who do not die in the initial blast will die in the firestorm or later on from the fallout.

Maybe their next video should just simply be honest about the true chances of survival, which appear to be virtually nonexistent?

How many people can go down each of these manholes in 15 minutes?
