0 = average crusing altitude of commercial airplane.
1 = Fatman bomb dropped on Nagasaki was only 20 - 22 KILOTONS!!!
2 = The Castle Bravo bomb tested by USA was only a 15 Megaton bomb.
Not shown is the Tsar Bomba Hydrogen bomb tested by the commies, it yielded
58 Megatons. Look at the graph again. The Castle Bravo was a 15 megaton bomb. The commies ACTUALLY TESTED a 58 MEGATON BOMB!
Project Cannikin
Watch between 1 and 2 seconds you'll see a flash, that's the indicator that the 5 Megaton bomb was set off a a little over a mile underground.
"The ground lifted 20 feet (6 m), caused by an explosive force equivalent almost 400 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb"
They still have aftershocks to this day from the earthquake it caused.
More on Cannikin, and the other tests at Amchitka.
