Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

*** {{spoiler|The bomb was sitting on a tower a few miles away. The damaging effects from a nuclear blast are fourfold: blast wave, thermal radiation, ionizing radiation, and residual radiation. As the blast wave is roughly hemispherical, it gets rapidly weaker the further away it travels; the town was just far enough away. It wrecked the town, but the fridge was sturdy enough to take it. Thermal radiation comes from the flash and gets weaker as the fireball dissipates; Indy was inside a fridge, inside a house, and it wasn't close enough to vaporize anything in the town, which it would have had the bomb been much closer and/or directly overhead. It only burned and melted objects exposed to the direct blast. Ionizing radiation, also mostly instant, was blocked via the lead-lined fridge. And finally, residual radiation was the reason for his scrubdown chemical shower a short while later. The most farfetched part of that scene actually is him not rolling out of the fridge severely bruised from the tumble.}}

**** {{spoiler|Severely bruised? The fridge was thrown hundreds of feet. He would have broken most of his bones if he survived at all.}}

** {{spoiler|A literal case of [[Fridge Logic]]}}.

*** {{spoiler|Or, indeed, [[Fridge Brilliance]]}}.
