type in a zip code and see the damage from a 10 kiloton blast!


www.nuclearterrorism.org...

but how big a bomb is the breifcase nuke?
that looked like only small tactical damage...
the Murrah building bombing was that big... (heard over 20 miles away)
and damage to buildings 2 miles away...
I always thought nukes were bigger than that...
wow

arent most nuclear devices in the 10- 30 MEGAton range??? I thought 10 kiloton is about the size of the hiroshima and nagasaki atom bombs?? Am I wrong???

I was thinking the same thing, the damage seemed to be minimal at best.

Nagasaki. The atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki exploded at 11:02 A.M. on August 9. Using plutonium with an explosive power of 20 kilotons of TNT-equivalent, it left an estimated 70,000 dead by the end of 1945, although both population and the deaths are uncertain.

www.infonature.org... is a very good site and even has maps like the map generator in this thread. Little boy was 10 kilotons and Fat Man was 19 kilotons.
