Blast Radius!!

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/sfeature/blastmap.html This is possibly the most destructive and cool sites ever. Ever wanted to know if you'd survive a nuclear blast from 15 miles away? you'll find out there

CoooooL site.

Based on the nearest military target (an air force logistics base) I got a 98% chance of survival in a 1MT blast (well, until I die from the fallout) and on a 25MT blast, I'm sitting on magma. Or the moon. I urge ppl not to vote Jesse Ventura for President. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Oh great!! Im sitting at ground zero. I wonder if Wallmart carries SP 10 million sunblock lotion

It really depends on the yield, the type of device, and the altitude of detonation - former Pershing Missile crewman here http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif 15E10 - 141st FA

1 (one)MT - whew! that is a lot! But "our" 1978 falic projectile carried only a 400KT (can I reveal that now?) here come those %$%$in black choppers again...

25MT - un666thinkable!!!


Still 400KT is almost 20x Hiroshima... but much cleaner and efficient, our bomb was more enviromentally friendly than the dirty old Hiroshima bomb -- whereas Hiroshima fallout might last 50,000 years, ours would only last 20,000...

[socalgal]

Morbidly fascinating.

CMonster, you and I are dead meat, bud.

[OuTpaTienT]

You guys act like being at ground zero is a bad thing. ? I don't know 'bout you, but I want to be at ground zero. Who would want to live through a thermalnuclear war and the hellish aftermath that follows. No "Day after" for me, thank you very much. (Not to mention, you could forget using a computer for a very long time.)

[desmocat]

Right on, Out. I too would want to be at zero because fightin' for your food with all those six armed dudes is a pain. Also just give me enough time to get really close so when I see the sun come up a second time, It'll all be over. "hey what's up everybo...

Socalgal - http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif at least I go in good company!

OuTpaTienT - didn't you read that Intel was producing radiation hardened Pentiums for the DOD (Department of Defense)?

Desmocat - I would think all the Quake*** lovers would be in bliss what with having to do battle for food with 6-armed dudes.

No matter where a 1Mt bomb was dropped in my province, I still die within 48 hours.
