I was on Youtube recently when I saw this video:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8XGjkyZU2oY
Just as a short summary, it's a recreation of the bombing of Hiroshima, using both actual footage and digital recreation. The graphics are fantastic, but what's better is the survivors recalling the day, the bodies in the streets, being blasted by the shock wave. Living only miles from New York, I envisioned a huge mushroom cloud rising from the skyline.
I searched around a bit more, and found some cool links.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=H1sS1TmXF38&feature=related - Russia's first nuclear bomb.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=b2WQvtGnBQw - An unbelievably large underwater explosion
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tJkNP7HNHz4 - Another crazy underwater explosion
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FfoQsZa8F1c&feature=related - Tsar Bomba, the largest nuke ever tested.
There's some more videos of these creepy tests where they filmed a bunch of lifelike mannequins inside a home, while setting off a nuke nearby, to see the inside catch fire and all the mannequins burn and crumble...but the Tsar Bomba one is the video that inspired this post. At the end, they showed a map of London, and how much of it would be destroyed.
I did some research:
15 miles in all directions from ground zero - gone, completely incinerated
30 miles in all directions from ground zero - burned and destroyed by shock wave
55 miles in all directions from ground zero - shock wave damage
With trusty google earth, I plotted out the nuclear fates of several cities. Anyway, the pictures are at the bottom. Here's a few more youtube links that I have in my favorites.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=yVE81BHBD0E - One of my favorite movie scenes, the climax of the movie Deep Impact.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EngAbLGIaYE - What a crazy guitarist this man is...something of a role model for me.
http://www.emogame.com/v3/ - Fairly interesting enough, and quite addicting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rQzsqrkbrU - If you watch anything, watch this. The original movie Joan of Arc, made in France in 1928. It's about 80 minutes, and was revolutionary in character acting.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1flVlL4Mf8k - A cool explosion!
Anyway, check it out.

According to the Intarweb, Tsar Bomba (Big Ivan) was a 50 Megaton equivalancy. Hiroshima was ~20 Kilotons, or 1/2500 smaller.
Way back in the late 60s there were 100 Megaton devices. Axolotl had his math together. Do youse guys in Canadia know math?

i didn't know this was in comparison with the Tsar Bomba since I didn't read the post, only looked at the graphics. sue me.
i love how you refer to nuclear yield as "smaller" btw.

Caulaincourt: to answer I'm just using the data provided in the youtube video about the Tsar Bomb, where it shows at the end London being burned in a 110-mile wide circle. It might not be correct, but just in the context of this post, I'm using the information the video gave.

btw, where do you get your info that the blasts travels 110 miles?
even your yellow line (partial/complete destruction) is halfway there.
wtf? that's one hell of a fucking bomb you're talking about.
what you refer to as your blue circle (light damage) had a radius of about 12 miles in hiroshima.
now mind you bombs are larger today, but from what i read, most of the desctruction occurs within 10 miles.
last i checked nyc and l.a. were pretty big cities. unless my perception is wrong, i fail to see how a nuke would rape so much land. does the shockwave brings a snack for the long trip?
please link your sources in your picture posts.
caul this is an unreasonable request. why should he 'dumb down' to the lowest common denominator in his posts.
just beacuse you are fucking ignorant of the power of nuclear weapons doesn't mean the rest of us should read an 'early learning centre' precis.

i thought tactical nuke strategy was that they use a bunch of little bombs instead of one big one, that way in case one doesn't work you're not left with a functioning major city, but just a little less damage instead.

Nukes are cool and all, but, apples and oranges, man. Hiroshima was tame compared to Dresden (albeit hey, yeah, in one bomb). Those circles on google earth images match up nicely to what a good ol' Soviet style Cold War tritium-powered love-in would give you, but not at all to the Paul Tibbets special.
Plus, hey, you drew a cyan line through my parents' house. But you missed Brookhaven Lab, so, nyah nyah nyah, the US relativistic heavy ion colliding capability is unaffected by the godless commie treachery.

On the plus side though, a small nuclear device, particularly a 'dirty bomb' that might be detonated by 'terrars' wouldn't be THAT bad. It wouldn't be good, certainly, and it'd make a tremendous mess but if someone were to detonate a small nuke in Birmingham I'm confident that me and mine would be okay.
In fact it'd sort out that eyesore in the bullring. That wouldn't be so bad. So, you know, bring it.

My Grandfather was a photographer in the US Navy. He took pictures of many of the nuclear tests. He's dead now; died of cancer of the everything. Imagine that. I have one of the photos, taken in the Bikini Atoll. A huge 'mushroom cloud' surrounded by two rings of ships, with the beach in the foreground. It's awesome, and I mean 'awesome' in the traditional sense, not in the way that curly fries are awesome if you're high. Some things should probably not have been thought of, and nuclear weapons are one of those things.

Here's hoping they drop it on the weekend, or after 5pm.
Nice work, kid. Thought-provoking stuff.
If you can track it down, the BEST true-to-life what if the bombs fell movie ever made in a UK production called 'Threads.' It makes the American TV movie 'The Day After' look like a Disney flick. Threads is rarely seen in America, but was shown in the UK and Canada. It is depressing and engrossing in its realism. Not gory, but bleak as hell.

Yeah, MS paint paintbrush was the only way to properly go about it. It leaves it with a gritty, post-apocalyptic feeling.

+2 for the estimated affected epicenters drawn in MSPaint. Very early 'Beeb.
Another on the way for a decent fucking topic.
