Had a co-worker show me this today. Seems fitting with all the nuclear terror talk this week...

Yikes! This reaffirms my decision to take a nice, long drive on the day of the Super Bowl! My house is outside of the blast radius for the smaller nuke, but not the big one. In the case of a smaller yield device, at least I'd be west of the blast, opposite the prevailing winds and fallout.

The building where I work is about two blocks from the Superdome, so I wouldn't even have time to think "WTF was That?!" before being incinerated. Gotta remember to look into that telecommuting thing. :-D

Thanks for the site. I just sent the data to a couple of younger relatives who would be down wind of SF!

To those posting the 25 megaton boomer, just remember that more than likely about 99.999% of this happening would be with a dirty bomb that would be in a back pack or suitcase!

The actual flattening effect would be severely limited to a small area. The lethal effect would be the down wind fallout over the next week or so!

So the sad reality would be the, "1. Mt Surface Blast: Fallout Map".

How large (MT) are those suit case bombs that are potentially floating around?

Interesting. Thx for posting

Pretty cheezy and misleading, actually. I did a 1MT NYC blast and the problem is that it doesn't take geographic features into account. The bigger problem is that most likely blasts are even smaller and the suitcase nukes that everyone is worried about are smaller yet. Basically, it uses the worst case scenario (large nukes with no geographic features) to scare people.

Very interesting site, thanks for posting.

Equally interesting - follow the link called "BUNKER" and take a QuickTime VR tour of the Greenbriar facility that was built in the 50's as a secure location for the House and Senate in the event of an attack. I saw a special on this not long ago, and can't help but wonder if we were premature in decommissioning it now...

Are there any good investment opportunities assuming a nuke blast does occur ?

BUMP

Note the source: PBS. Nothing they would like more than to disarm the USA. They have a hidden agenda with posting this site, and it is not to inform. It is to scare people into getting Bush to put an end to Nuke armament. PBS.org is an anti-American organization, period.

Great site. I just e-mailed it to that lefty CA cousin I talk so much about. He lives in San Francisco with his Chinese wife. I reminded him about clintons treason with regard to Loran super computers & nuclear secrets being passed to China. He is REALLY never going to speak to me now. lol
