Ditmas Park Will Probably Survive A Nuclear Attack

Thanks to a handy new application making it's way around the interwebs, Flatbush residents can now rest assured that in the event of a nuclear attack on Manhattan, we'll survive.

Simply plug New York, NY into this Google Maps mashup and pick your nuclear weapon of choice to find out how your neighborhood will hold up. Google Maps identifies the center of New York City as Times Square, so Flatbush skates by 6 of 7 nuclear bomb explosion scenarios with no thermal damage. Williamsburg, (unfortunately?), doesn't fare well for most of those attacks. And even Park Slope gets caught in the danger zone if a B28 touches down. Finally this living south of the Park thing is paying off.

Ditmas Parkers won't be so lucky if we get hit with a Tsar Bomba. And of course an asteroid impact will leave Flatbush looking like the shelves of the Atlantic Center Target.

So in the event of an actual Palin 2012 or 2016 campaign, don't worry about moving to Canada, just consider Victorian Flatbush.
