    Default Largest Explosion EVAR

    I just got this off Google Video. It's footage of the largest nuclear bomb ever being detonated.

    WOW! Just to think, that maybe Russia could have a nuclear missle attack up their sleeves, and that's all done by the pressing of a big button..... and a hell of a lot of workers and chemicals, AND money.......



    If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.

    I'm not smart.

    The Tsar Bomba was impractically large - it was more of a demonstration than an actual weapon. But if it had been used...

    It was tested on October 30, 1961 over the island of Novaya Zemlya in the Arctic Sea, apparently. I'm not sure about being a pilot, it sounded like they only just escaped from being blown out of the sky.

    Thanks. Well, you know, being that close during the detonation of the biggest a-bomb ever detonated is worth the risk, for me at least.


    Found an image of the bomb, btw.

    They probably died of radiation-related illnesses later. Russia once dropped a load of soldiers in near the site of a nuclear explosion to see how the radiation affected them. Don't think any even managed to report in.

    Actually, the nuclear fallout was very low considering the power of the bomb, since 97% of the energy came from fusion.
