They won't make it either. Nuclear war is a game ender. Also this has kinda already happened on a tiny scale, namely the British testing of weapons in the Australian Outback in the 50s and 60s. It wasn't very good for the natives:
"He said, 'We thought it was the spirit of our gods rising up to speak with us'," she said.
"[He said] 'then we saw the spirit had made all the kangaroos fall down on the ground as a gift to us of easy hunting so we took those kangaroos and we ate them and people were sick and then the spirit left'."
Mr Morgan is sharing his story, in his words, so it won't ever be forgotten.
"After the explosion the fallout went north," Mr Morgan said.
"Powder, white powder killed a lot of kangaroos [and] spinifex [grass]. Water was on fire, that's what we saw."
Mr Morgan said water "died" but that he and the two men he was with drank the water, even though it was still hot.
"The smoke went into our noses, and other people still have that poison today," he said.
"We all poisoned, in the heart, in the blood and other people that were much closer they didn't live very long, they died, a whole lot of them."
