In other news... they also used to let the kids in school go outside to set on the ground and watch the blasts when they knew the government would be testing that day.
In the video.... that musta been a really small nuke. If you read the account of Hiroshima..... that too was an air burst above the city. Nothing remained standing for miles. The heat from the blast incinerated people and horses instantly, sometimes their silhouette on a wall was all that was left to show they were there.
The eyes of Japanese soldiers outside of the city who watched the blast, melted in their heads. Thousands died from the flash burns.....
It was on a missile as well.... back in the day, they did not have the technology to make powerful nukes to ride on missiles. They dropped them from planes and the planes immediately turned and high-tailed it out of the area.
No, that blast in the video had to be extremely small.
As far as nukes go it was tiny at 2 kilotons (2000 tons of tnt). You notice this was a single small(ish) interceptor plane firing just one missile. (The second plane looks like an RB-57 which would have been used for taking atmospheric measurements only) Consider that as 4,000,000 lbs of convential bombs which would be roughly the total payload of an entire RAF 1000 bomber night raid over Germany during World War II. So extremely small is certainly a relative term. Multiply that explosions destrutive power by 10,000 times to get your average workaday strategic weapon of 20 megatons...

Hmmm, I'm not quite sure what I even did there?
I must have pressed the wrong button by mistake. Ho, hum easily done I guess.
Luckily it was just an edit button on a forum and not a big red one that says "Do not press".

OK … I thought the conversation was degenerating into a discussion of nuclear physics / chemistry and in particular a discussion of the chain reaction. I was just illustrating the effect of a single “bewildered emoticon” striking a uranium-235 nucleus. When the emoticon strikes the nucleus, the nucleus is split into krypton and barium. In addition to energy, the reaction also liberates three “bewildered emoticons” that go on to split 3 more uranium-235 nuclei thus initiating a chain reaction (think Farrah Fawcett in those old Faberge commercials). Physicists like to give subatomic particles silly names and they refer to the three “bewildered emoticons” as craigb, bapu and Jonbouy.
