Nuclear
weapons are already scary enough, but when you dig deeper and find out how
powerful the weapons truly are, they get even more terrifying. The weapons
we’ve built after the first atomic bombs are so strong that you can basically
use Hiroshima as a unit of measurement. The largest nuclear explosion in human
history, the Tsar Bomba, detonated with a force of 50 megatons or the power of
3,333 Hiroshimas.
The Russians
had another bomb planned that would have been double the force of the Tsar
Bomba at 100 megatons (and 6,666 times the force of Hiroshima) but luckily they
never tested it.
I mean, the
Tsar Bomba was already as scarily powerful as it can get, since it almost
destroyed the plane that dropped it and shattered windows as far as Norway and
Finland. (The bomb was tested at Novaya Zemlya in Northern Russia).
Even
something like the B83 bomb (which is the largest nuke in the US arsenal)
explodes with a mushroom cloud taller than where commercial airlines fly. The
true scale of nuclear weapons is really something, man. Learn more about it
with this video by RealLifeLore, which also shows what kind of damage these
nukes would do if they were dropped on New York City.
