If you are interested in the kind of blast zones you get from different tonage of WMD's thought I'd post this.

Here is what would happen if Little Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy) were dropped on Milwaukee City Hall

Enter -87.9097, 43.0417 for coordinates and 13000 for the KT.

Have a nice day! ;)

Actually, you would only enter 13, not 13000, since that field is already set up for kilotons. And Little Boy was closer to 15 KT. Neat website!

Oops, ya you're right about that, sorry guys. And I was going for the low side of the "estimates" for Little Boy.

Either way, city hall would be rubble!

If you like explosions, look up the Texas City Disaster on Wikipedia (the worst industrial accident in US history), along with the 1883 Krakatoa volcano eruption which produced the loudest sound in recorded history!


Its power has been calculated as the equivalent of 21,000 megatons of nuclear explosion. Over 36,000 people were killed immediately, and countries all over the globe were affected by the volcano's devastating after-effects.
