nuke it!
Carloslabs has created an interesting project, Ground Zero, basically its integrated in with Google Maps to show what damage a different selection of nuclear bombs would do to certain areas.
Now for someone whose never been outside of Europe I was a little ignorant of the power of the Nagasaki bomb to see what damage it would do to Dublin (the results) a fair amount of damage to the city that would instantly fry to death those near the center, this awesome fire power was from 1945.
That not being enough I decided to find out what exactly a B-61 bomb would do to my house!
The B-61 is designed to be carried and dropped on its target by US fighter jets such as the F-16, its a shock to me to see the awesome power would literally wipe out the two surrounding villages in my area!
But that wasn't enough, its established the Tsar bomb would wipe out all of nearly any city on the planet so I wasn't interested in that, what I wanted to see was the damage caused by the impact of an asteroid, it was an asteroid that made the dinosaurs extinct so how much damage would one make across the globe if the epicenter was my house?
The results, apart from wiping out Europe, spreading across the North Atlantic, consuming Iceland and Greenland, and from southern Europe hitting most of north Africa, and spreading as far as northern Saudi Arabia!
I would highly recommend trying it out to appreciate the real power of nuclear weapons!
