Reply #48: You Really Think They'll See The Cloud From This Bomb In Vegas?

[ProfessorGAC]

85 miles is a long way! This bomb is about 4% of the Hiroshima bomb is total detonative strength. It's not going to create the total energy release of a nuke. It's tiny in comparison to most the films we have all seen on TV of nuke testing.

The might see a little bit of the cloud, but from 85 miles away, i don't think reporters will be shocked and awed. I've seen explosions from very close up in my past. (Consulted on the decon and ordinance destruction of a shuttered arsenal near where i live.) Obviously, i never saw a 1.3 million bomb go off (probably never saw anything bigger and 100kg), but i'm not sure this is for any reason other than to flex the military muscle and use some of the inventory so they can buy more.

It's all about the money. They're thieves stealing from the treasury. I think we all agree about that.
