I had this thought while talking to my roomie the other day. We were watchin some videos of the bombs dropped in hirosima. I was like "If an atom bomb dropped right here (while pointing out my window), U wouldn't even know" I looked up some stats on it cuz i was high and was really gettin in to it. Found out that the area with in 1000 ft had a 98% death rate and 92% with in 2000 ft. thats 9 1/2 football fields! and i think it said within like 3 miles the rate was like 9%. Thats freakin crazy!
those bombs were incredibly inefficient too! for the same amount of reactive material, we can probably do 10x as much damage now, if not more
google has an app that lets you set a location and drop an assortment of bombs, and see the area of damage.
Yeah you wouldnt know. Those things dont hit the ground. They make them detonate hundreds of feet up so the vertical blast wave wont be dissapated on the ground.
