When Nuclear Bombs look weak...

If you exploded a nuclear bomb in the center of new york all of this would happen:

• Fireball: Everything within 0.4 miles vaporized (Times Square gone).

• Severe damage: Up to 1 mile — buildings collapse, huge destruction.

• Burns: Up to 3 miles — deadly 3rd-degree burns.

• Radiation fallout: Deadly, depending on wind.

• Deaths: Around 500,000 to 1 million immediately.

• Injuries: Another 1 to 2 million seriously hurt.

But if a modern hydrogen bomb (like 1 to 10 megatons) hit New York City:

• Fireball: Up to 2–5 miles across — Manhattan would basically disappear.

• Severe blast damage: 10–20 miles out — crushing Brooklyn, Queens, parts of New Jersey.

• 3rd-degree burns: Up to 30+ miles away — almost the entire New York metro area.

• Deaths: Likely 5 to 8 million people, maybe more.

• Injuries: Millions more from burns, radiation, building collapses.

Here’s the simple breakdown:

• A nuclear bomb (like Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs) uses fission — splitting atoms — and is usually 15 to 500 kilotons strong.

• A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) uses fusion — fusing atoms together — and can be hundreds to thousands of times stronger, like 1 to 50 megatons (or even more).

Quick comparison:

• Regular nuclear bomb = destroy a city 🌆

• Hydrogen bomb = wipe out a whole region 🌍

A hydrogen bomb is basically the "nuclear bomb of nuclear bombs."

But…..Next up are germ bombs.We hold the ability to kill humanity
