Sounds like I'm a dead man huh? Guess I should enjoy my last 15min's. If I'm lucky it's a dud and I'll live.

I guess I would have always wanted to go 160mph nonstop on the ZX10 without the risk of being jailed.

30th floor?? Especially if everyone else knew about the bomb I'd have no chance in hell to get out of the building.

30th floor pretty much means you're dead, unless your building happens to have a bomb shelter/deep and well constructed basement. You might be able to make it into a nearby building if one of those has something similar.

Getting down 30 floors with a bunch of other people freaking out is going to take at least 5-10 minutes. Maybe if you just start smashing through people you could get down in a few minutes.

i walk over to the hang glider i keep for emergency exit purposes, put on a coat, slap on a pair of goggles, use the fire axe to break the window, make sure i grabbed my lunch bag, and jump out the window. i'd check the interwebs to figure out which direction the wind is blowing so i know which window side to break.

If someone sets off a nuke in a city, it won't be on a timer.

For the purposes of the question though, I'd find a hot secratary and have some fun.

Oh yeah, cuz you'll find plenty of open road while everybody is trying to leave in a panic

Then I'd run up to him and give him a quick chop to the larynx. If he blocks, I grab his arm and pull him towards me, also pulling him off the bike. I'd follow that with a quick kick to the ribs and I'd also grab his helmet and snap his neck (easier to do with the helmet - more leverage). Then I grab the bike, ride to the nearest guns & ammo store, perform the same incapacitating maneuvers on the employees so i can grab a Colt AR-15 with ACOG, 6 position collapsible stock, and quad rail hand guard, and 500 rounds of ammunition. I then ride as far from the epicenter as possible, splitting lanes to get through the inevitable traffic jams.

What an excellent plan!


...for me to poop on.

I'd sacrafice myself. I'd take the bomb and start running on one direction and tell everyone else to start running in the opposite direction. Hopefully when the bomb goes off some people will have made it far enough away to be spared.

If you're going to die, at least die a hero.

Steal the douche who works down the hall from me's Hayabusa and ride into the city (assuming the bomb was set in my building about 7 miles west of the city). Pittsburgh is set beyond 2 mountains that I would have to go over and through which would mitigate the effects of the blast.

I'd have to go with sex.

See if any woman is interested in a final fling.

The real question is, would you face towards or away from the blast.

If I knew the direction, I would look towards it. Might as well get a pretty light show before you die.

Edit: via GPS

good luck getting GPS to work underground :p
