Now of course you should never play with matches, let alone a nuclear bomb. If you have a bomb, you are a terrorist, and I hate you. This map is just for fun, to go along with the nuclear bomb testing video posted below.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if a nuclear bomb goes off in your city? With Google's Maps framework and a bit of Javascript, you can see the outcome. And it does not look good.
The list of weapons contains bombs of historical significance - but what happens with modern, nuclear-assertive countries not in the list? France: has a similar to "B61", also deployed by jet fighter.
India, Pakistan: equivalent to "Fat Man". Probably larger.
Iran, Syria: deny having a bomb. Yet. Smaller than "Little Boy".
Israel: denies having a bomb. Ever. As big as "Joe-4". North Korea: equivalent to "Little Boy". Probably smaller.
South Africa: had "Little Boy", but renounced nuclear weapons.
Wonder what the differnt colored rings mean? Click on the red tear drop in the middle for an explanation.
Have Fun!
Book mark.
When I click the red marker, I just get an explanation of the thermal effects.
Nope. The teardrop only gives you information about the thermal zones. The blast effects are much wider circles.
