Fun for the whole family!




This map shows the damage caused by a nuclear explosion. Search for a place, pick a weapon and press "Nuke It!"

Thats weird...the link doesn't work for me...

I thought they did a lot more damage than that that's only one sububurb

By posting a link to the site, you seem to have slashdotted it, or should that be Ubuntuforumed it?

We... We nuked it? Damn we're good!









/From orbit... It's the only way to be sure.

I don't think it's reliable. If I drop a 50 megaton bomb on the hague, Amsterdam, which is 45 minutes by train, doesn't even notice any fallout according to this program :confused:

[SunnyRabbiera]

Cool, I just nuked Guam!
I also nuked Philly my nearest city too, but most of the impacts seem to be far off my front lawn though.
Tells you how podunk my hometown is.

The bombs available aren't all that great, really. The standard yield of the most common thermonuclear weapons nowadays is about ten megatonnes of equivalent TNT. That's the second-to-last bomb on their scale. Anything beyond that is a meteor strike, which seems a little unfair, as we mere humans have built bombs all the way up to 50 megatonnes. There isn't much point including those teeny weeny fission bombs on the chart, seeing as nobody uses those anymore.

Anyhoo, with the ten megatonne nuke I managed to blow up dozens of surrounding neighbourhoods, and an entire city to boot. Nice work!

Edit: Whoa, didn't even see the Tsar Bomb on that slider. What an incredible bomb she is.

I hated nuking the Hague but, <sigh>, see your fallout distribution below. I guess the breeze comes from the the north in your part of town, eh?

Ya the results seem to be on the conservative side.

Ya the results seem to be on the conservative side.

Maybe they're basing it on what happens when the bombs are detonated on the ground. Obviously, they are much more effective when detonated a couple of miles above ground, which is how they're designed to be deployed any how.

I just nuked Slovenia, my neighbor county.:P Too bad nuclear fallout would destroy my city too. :(

(Tsar Bomba (USSR, 1961) 50 Mt)

also fun places to nuke:
Redmound (Microsoft headquaters)
Helsinki (L. Torvalds birthplace)
Mountain View (Google)
Hollywood
Zagreb (me)

This is probably what the webpage is trying to explain

Creepy, but interesting.

This is some scary stuff once the "oooooo-i-nuked-something" wears off.

[Yes]

Unless someone drops a tsar bomb on Philly I should be good. The fallout from the tsar bomb looks like it'd hit me pretty bad.

And I hope to god an asteroid doesn't hit.

There are five main targets in the event of nuclear war, and are targetted in the following order:


Military sites
Centres of communication (telephone exchanges and relay stations, etc)
Power stations
Centres of industry (steel, chemicals, other commodities)
Major population centres


So long as you don't live anywhere near one of those, you might end up being totally fine. But then there won't really be much point afterwards, as your country will lie in ruins and everything will be radioactive.

You cannot win a nuclear war.

Congrats! You found Kim Jong Il's start page!

You guys know you can change the direction of the wind, right? Click on the Settings tab. That way you can choose where the fallout goes.
