well it's not the same. a planted dirty bomb might fuck up a few square miles here and there. say, 10 million people die MAX.
not saying it would be a happy thing, but with a world population pushing towards 7 billion, it's a drop in the bucket, and it might be scary & all, but you can move to the boonies to improve your chances.
during cold war times however the thing was that with hundreds of hydrogen bombs blasting all over there was no place to go, really. a much more claustrophobic scenario than that brought over by terrists.
