Move the point of impact; select your yield; and watch the world die.
Kinda creepy....

Well, it actually calmed me down lol seeing that a probable Iranian weapon dropped on TLV won't reach my home. Not including fallout ofc :\
I live by too many targets so I'm probably fubared anyway you slice it.
^ Same here. If this were the 80s I'd be a goner. F-106 base 5 minutes away and a nuclear tasked B-52 base thirty mins away.
No real military targets anywhere near me, so I should be okay..Those warheads actually have a smaller killzone than I thought.
Still kinda creepy.
In my hometown, I'd be relatively "untouchable" with anything up to the 50 kiloton Tsar Bomba. But now I live in would be one of multiple ground zeros....so fvck.

Not to diminish the loss but when you look at it on one of these types of things, 12-20kt of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki weapons were firecrackers.
I'm basically safe if Melbourne gets hit...basically

I live in the Netherlands. Tiny friggin country with a population density that would make an inhabitant of Shanghai nervous. To see that the average modern warhead would only destroy about the average size city surprises me. I always thought "One nuke, and we are all snot"..
If one Trident D-2 hit right behind my house, the blast would not even come close to Amsterdam..
Interesting link, thanks;
Actually you don´t have to limit yourself to your house, since you can drag the "nuke" mark anywhere.

That's one of the reasons I was so adament in that other thread about cutting numbers of nuclear warheads. I haven't looked at this particular ap but if it shows PSI then you can go to a nuclear weapons effects table (maybe the ap has that too) and see what kind of targets are vulnerable. Most hard targets actually need to be IN the crater of a ground burst to be destroyed. Those super hard aircraft shelters Saddam had back during Desert Storm (that required BLU-109s to take out) would pretty much laugh at a near miss with a nuke. No using one big nuke to take out an entire airbase equipped with those. (Granted, a big radioactive crater across your runways with everything not tied down swept clean is going to shut you down for a while whether your aircraft survived or not.)
With today's lower yield warheads it would take several to knock out your average metropolitan area.
I live within a couple of miles of Naval Air Station Dallas but I think it's only used for training these days , so I think I maybe in a relatively safe area.
The kill radius of the Tsar Bomba is sheer mindf[COLOR=#000080]u[/COLOR]ck. If detonated right over The White House this hell machine would kill every living being all the way up to Baltimore.
Einstein was right.
Interesting tool, thanks.

Thank you, I will for sure.
If downtown Sacramento get's nuked by the Ruski's or Chinese I should be fine. I live far enough to the East in the suburbs and I have some natural cover from a blast wave. Fallout's another story, but I can always ram my way through traffic until I make it to the foothill's. If I can't do that, I live less than a mile away from my grandfather on my mom's side who has a old Cold War-era bomb shelter under his house with like 6 months worth of supplies.
Just hope they don't miss downtown or I'm fvcked.

Haha, you're right. I just woke up, my bad.
Well, I can always go down the road and jack some horses. I know how to ride. Would suck to have to rob your neighbors, but meh..
I'd just jump on my bike and get the hell out of dodge; presuming I survived the blast. :/

and then ?
The most amazing thing that's to be kept in mind is that the so called killzone around ground zero, in fact, isn't. Some people survived the Hiroshima blast less than 1 kilometer away from ground zero and lived for another fifty years to tell the tale.

Yeah. I'd have like 20-30 miles to go before I were relatively safe from any major fallout and it's all uphill so screw a bike. I'd be too worried about some panicked idiot hitting me anyways. I'd be aiming for the foothill's to the East of Sacramento, it's our version of Beverly Hills. Full of people who would be horrible at surviving and million dollar houses. I'd just benefit from their chaos.
Would have to bring a weapon cause with that much chaos, if everyone isn't dead yet, you know you're going to have to rob/kill someone. There's going to be people out there just as desperate as you.
Tsar Bomba (tested) royally ****ed NE Ohio...and I mean all of it.

[QUOTE=C.Puffs;6038965]Thank you.[/QUOTE]
You're welcome. Although, unfortunately, the size of warhead I picked appeared to take out the Valley too. This means that the adult movie industry took a major hit. On the plus side, my friend's house in Hacienda Heights might have survived. Other acquaintances down in the Fullerton area should be fine too!
I´ve just dropped an average 200kt warhead over Disneyworld.
Enough to turn Mickey into ashes, but animal kingdom is fine.

At least take comfort in the fact that whatever lumbering Soviet beast was carrying that bomb would've been BOMARC-nuked into oblivion somewhere over Canada.

The 50´s must have being a time of almost paranoic developments
there is a huge flaw in that application
it doesn't take account that most modern nukes are MIRV. They name the "Peacekeeper" with a head of 300 kt, which is correct, but the single missile contains 10 of them. Which means 3 Mt in the designed area.
By spreading smaller yield nukes, the effect is far more destructive on a somewhat wider area.
So you get a "Tsar Bomba effect" with smaller means. The old Tsar Bomba wasn't really operative more than as a test device.
My brother is quoted in an old art class book. In a paragraph about children and war, his class had to draw their own house getting destroyed by war. After they had to talk about what they felt and my brother said he didn't like the thought, so he drew fighterplanes bombing the neighbor's house instead.
