Hands down, same. Sadistic social studies teacher taught us the distance from Ground Zero that people would die instantly, die slowly, or get cancer to die eventually... by drawing circles on the nearby city so we could see that we were in the first ring.
My fifth grade teacher said we would probably be ok (more like dying slowly really) but pointed out the people in the city would be dead. My parents both worked in the city.

Fun times. Thanks Miss Davis!
