Thought this was interesting to see various nukes hit using Google Maps
and tells you the range from the explosion. Kinda morbid but I guess if you
have to know how EFF'd you are, this is the best site to find out!

i was amused for about 2 minutes. I'm done playing with it now.
Kinda makes you sad
True, it gives you a interesting perspective about life. I wonder if this was available during the 80's if this would be more of a propaganda tool then education?

I'll need this when I become the ruler of the world.
Just out of range if San Fran gets nuked.
The asteroid one made me lol.
Perfect...
Well, this is the thermal damage. It doesn't take into account the damage/deaths caused by the shockwave/fall out.
O_o Why world why?
Yeah I was a bit shocked to see the asteroid results. I was thinking smaller ones hitting, not like the 2nd impact or something!
Whelp, I've figured out that if nukes fall, anything larger than a 50 megaton hitting the nearest population centers will pretty much screw my home town.

Fifty Megatons? Not likely. There has only been one (Thermo)-Nuclear bomb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba) with that much power, and Really large bombs are considered not practical (better to use smaller nukes spread out).

I'm just saying that anything larger than a fifty megaton. I never said it would be practical.
Holy Hell, look at that asteroid, we would be screeeewed.
