Those shock waves are very powerful. Just think of what remained from the Bikini Islands...... :(

Thank God we have the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty!

Yea, those atomic bombs are pretty amazing. We are learing about those in History class right now. When they tested the first bomb (made of Plutonium) scientist observing 7 miles away were knocked over. Windows from 125 miles away were shattered. Those things are simply amazing. Real intersting stuff.

Yeah, and to think that the first time they tested a nuke, they weren't even sure that it wouldn't cause a chain-reaction that would burn the entire Earth'* atmosphere off...

Interesting anecdote...
Several tests after the first bomb, one of the scientists who helped to develop it was in a bunker where they were preparing for a test. He was jonesing for a smoke, but had left his matches at his house. Not finding anyone with a match, he was in despair. At that point he found a small parabolic reflector discarded from some peice of photographid equipment.
Quickly fashioning a piece of wire into a holder to hold the cigarette at the focal point of the reflector, he set the reflector and cigarette in the slit window of the bunker.
A few minutes later, H*ll came to earth, the heavens roared, and the scientist reached out, plucked his now-lit cigarette from it'* perch, and took a drag.

Can you imagine the arrogance neccessary to think of lighting a cigarette with a nuclear bomb?
