A lot depends on how far away from ground zero you are. New york is a big place and it would take a lot more then one bomb.

You either didn't read my original post (#17), or you're too young to remember the cold war.

Those "duck and cover" exercises given to New York City school kids during the cold war were for so-called "protection" against hydrogen bombs.

In case you didn't know one H bomb is all that's necessary to level the entire city, and hiding under a desk was just feel-good politics of the day.

yes I rember the duck and cover drills and no ,one H bomb well not destroy a whole city. Do some research on the effects on nuclear weapons. You need to read NUCLEAR WAR SURVIVAL SKILLS by Cressson H Kearny then after that read LIFE AFTER DOOMSDAY by Bruce D. Clayton, Ph.D.

You have brought into the lefts BS that a Nuclear bomb destroys all.
