    Personally, I feel they always intended the fall to be the nuking, but someone put the wrong date on the blackboard, and now they’re trying to get the story straight again :P It does allow for some interesting possibilities, though.

      Probably. Though when using the phrase “fall” I think of a civilisation collapse which takes time. A slow implosion; The Fall of Rome.

      I’ve never heard of Hiroshima or Nagasaki referred to as “fallen”.
