The Atomic bomb...
 

I was watching the Hiroshima bombing on the history channel, that's some fucked up shit killing 100,000 people in matter of seconds.

The atomic bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy", which was dropped on the Hiroshima City.

It was estimated that the bomb blast traveled about 3 km

The atomic bomb, nicknamed "Fat Man", which was dropped on the Nagasaki City.

It was estimated that the bomb blast traveled about 5 km

mushroom mushroom!!

Can you imagine the media coverage if that happened today?

the A bomb scares me...

one of the worst creations by humans

Didnt you learn that shit in school?

They are a bit smaller in size but much stronger now in days, that makes me wonder.

Why is the most destructive forces are often the most beautiful to look at?

its more brightly than thousands suns ...

you can see you own bones when a a bomb explodes

Worst creations? Hell no! If it wasn't for the Mutually Assured Distruction situation that occured after WWII, there would have almost certainly been a WWIII that would have killed tens of millions more people in the last 50 years. The Nuclear age has kept the peace on a global scale that no other force could have.:2 cents:

That's true, they might have killed 180k in Japan but that saved millions of lives in the future.

look at india & pakistan ... crazy guys.. both atom nations with the fingers on the red button :uhoh

one a bomb can change the world in a few minutes...

They can't reach US but the rest of the world might have a problem.

it looks like a furious volcano

that's an awesome pic :thumbsup

for now...

one a bomb will create the next world war...

UN / Affiliated nations ...

that is some mad shit

You guys weren't around in 1963 when Khrushchev sent mrbm's to Cuba a mere 90 miles from the US mainland. That was the closest we ever came to a nuclear war with Russia.

hiroshima

the cancer of humanity, presidents making nuclear test have lost their right to live on my opinion

What a morning surprise the people living there got.

I believe it killed 66,000 almost instantly.

I have a new found love of mushrooms :)

FACT:

The bomb never reached the ground.

To get the best kill ratio the bomb exploded 100's of feet before it touched the groud.

That mushroom cloud is awesome. I never get tired of seeing it

Precisely.... People need to understand sometimes force is necessary to attain some form of "peace". The world has been at war since the beginning of man.

Anyone hoping for a peaceful planet with daisies sticking out of everyones hair is kidding themselved...
:2 cents:

Hiroshima had ~15 kilotons, now imagine a thermonuclear bomb with 50 megatons (I think thats the max the russians had)

wo it would completey destroy whole the nl

A blast of 50 megatons, the whole world would feel it.

I second that.

The Tsar Bomba had its yield scaled down by replacing the uranium fusion tamper (which amplifies the reaction) with one made of lead to eliminate fast fission by the fusion neutrons. If detonated at full yield, the force of this bomb would have been approximately 6,500 times the 15-16 kiloton bomb detonated at Hiroshima and would have increased the world's total fission fallout since the invention of the atomic bomb by 25%.

thats an interesting way to look at it. some people said the americans only dropped those bombs to make sure russia didn't turn against them, which some say was bullshit.

This is not an atomic bomb image. It's from the first H bomb. There is a huge difference.

They went from Kilotons to Megatons with that bomb. I have several documentaries on these bombs. I have AWESOME footage from a bomb set off underground in alaska that sent a ripple thru the ground like a rain drop on flat water. It's amazing. The alaskan bomb registered as a 5.X earthquake. And created several aftershocks. The island that the put it under rose over 20 feet during the blast.
